"Ronan, the Supreme Intelligence has decided that we must make peace with the Nova Empire, so immediately cease the attack on the Nova Empire fleet."

Inside the Dark Star warship, Ronan listened to the commander's orders on the screen, his eyes filled with disbelief.

He roared angrily:

"Why? I disagree. We clearly have the advantage right now. If we hold out for a few more years, I will definitely lead the Imperial army to Xandar and slaughter all the Xandars!"

"You know it will take several more years. Even if you win this battle, the Nova Empire will continue to replenish its fleet with new ships."

If we force them to fight to the death, even if we win, we will be severely weakened.

Don't forget, the universe isn't just about the Kree Empire and the Nova Empire. There's also the Shi'ar Empire, whose strength is no less than ours, which has been lying low, watching us intently from the sidelines.

Moreover, the Supreme Ruler of the Nova Empire has already made concessions and will pay sufficient compensation for this truce.

Ronan, the Empire has been waging war for years, first against the Skrull Empire, and then against the Nova Empire. We need to recuperate and digest the fruits of these two wars.

Otherwise, even if the Nova Empire is destroyed, it will ultimately only benefit the Shi'ar Empire!

The war commander-in-chief reprimanded Ronan sternly.

However, Ronan clearly did not agree with this explanation:

"What about my parents and siblings who died in this war? They all died in this war, at the hands of the Nova Empire and the Xandarians. Are we just going to abandon this blood feud for the sake of profit?"

"It's not giving up, Ronan. This is just a delaying tactic. Once the Empire recovers, we will only become stronger. Then we will take down the New Star Empire in one fell swoop."

The commander-in-chief explained with a serious expression:

"Ronan, you must understand that this is an order from the Supreme Intelligence, and the orders of the Supreme Intelligence are absolutely not to be disobeyed, not even by the accuser."

If you still don't understand the reasoning, then obey orders. A soldier's duty is to obey orders.

"Hmph, we've recovered our strength, but can't they? In the end, even more people will die. The best option is to wipe them all out now."

"The Supreme Intelligence, a machine that only considers its own interests and disregards everything else, is unworthy to be the leader of the Kree Empire!"

Ronan roared in fury.

Upon hearing Ronan's words, the commander-in-chief's expression changed drastically:

"Ronan, do you know what you're saying? I, as the commander-in-chief, hereby order you to immediately cease your attack on the Nova Empire, relinquish control of the Dark Star, and return to the capital!"

"Excuse me, I, Ronan the Accuser, hereby formally declare my secession from the Kree Empire."

"The war will not end! I will slaughter every planet in the Nova Empire and use the blood of every Xandarian to atone for the deaths of my family!"

Ronan raised his warhammer and roared, his expression twisted in rage.

Without waiting for the commander-in-chief to say anything more, he immediately turned off the communication screen.

At that moment, two figures, one in green and one in blue, walked out from behind, clapping their hands.

"It seems Lord Ronan has agreed to cooperate with my father!"

It was Thanos's adopted daughter Gamora and Nebula.

Ronan turned to the two men, raised his head, and replied:

"The Kree Empire, under the rule of the Supreme Wisdom, has utterly lost the glory of us Kree people."

"If Thanos is willing to help me destroy Xandar and make me the new ruler of the Kree Empire, then I will agree to cooperate and use all my connections to help him find clues about the Infinity Stones."

Thanos, also known as Mad Thanos, is one of the most powerful beings in the universe. Wherever his fleet goes, no one can resist him, and half of the population is slaughtered.

Even the Nova Empire and the Kree Empire didn't have a good way to deal with Thanos.

Only by cooperating with Thanos can he have a chance to fulfill his ambitions and plans.

He had some initial hesitation, but now that he was completely disillusioned with the Kree Empire, that hesitation vanished entirely.

Although he felt extremely frustrated by succumbing to Thanos, it didn't matter. Once he achieved his goal, he wouldn't let Thanos off the hook either.

"Now, Korath, give me a full-scale attack on the Nova Corps fleet! I will use their lives to celebrate my liberation from the Kree Empire and my rebirth!"

"Yes, accuser!"

Ronan's most loyal henchman, the hunter Coras, gave a respectful military salute.

"It's Ronan's Dark Star. It seems the Nova Corps is in trouble!"

Inside the magical spaceship, through the external image projection retrieved by the Wong Wong, Star-Lord and his companions discovered that the Nova Corps had fallen into a complete disadvantage in its resistance against Ronan's Dark Star, and that if this continued, they would be completely annihilated.

Seeing this, Hawking stroked his chin and smiled:

"It's not necessarily a bad thing."

He didn't intend to intervene in the war between the Nova Empire and the Kree Empire, but only if he wasn't driven by self-interest.

Now that he wants to capture Ronan, he's essentially antagonizing the Kree Empire. So he might as well go all the way and make the Nova Empire owe him a favor, which can also be seen as paving the way for a future honeymoon trip.

Kill two birds with one stone.

"Wait here for me, I'm going to bring Ronan back."

Hawking flashed and appeared outside the spaceship, then flew rapidly toward the Nova Corps' warship.

Watching Hawking fly through space without any equipment, Star-Lord murmured again:

"I still don't believe this guy is from Earth. There's absolutely no way an Earthling could do this."

Stealthily passing through the encirclement, Hawking used his mental energy to penetrate the Nova Legion warship and directly Apparated to the main control room inside the warship.

At this moment, the commander of the Eighth Legion of the Nova Corps was sweating profusely as he reported the situation to the Nova Supreme in front of the screen.

"Your Excellency, Ronan has suddenly launched a fierce attack on us. Our fleet has already suffered more than half its losses and we need reinforcements!"

"Damn it, the Supreme Intelligence clearly agreed to a truce, why are they going back on their word now!"

Upon hearing the report from the Eighth Legion commander, the New Star Supreme slammed his hand on the table in anger.

Soon, the general beside him reported to the leader:

"The Kree Empire has replied, saying that Ronan is dissatisfied with the ceasefire agreement and has broken away from the Kree Empire. They are now unable to stop Ronan's offensive actions and hope that we can understand."

"Bullshit, that's just an excuse. Question them again and make them stop Ronan's attack immediately."

The Nova Supreme couldn't help but swear, then said to the Eighth Legion commander on the screen:

"I have dispatched the nearest legion to support you. You must hold out for two hours."

"Your Excellency, at this rate of Ronan's frenzied attack, we might not be able to hold out for more than half an hour."

Upon hearing that reinforcements wouldn't arrive for two hours, the commander of the Eighth Army Corps turned ashen-faced.

"Your Majesty, if we perish in battle, we hope you will take care of our families!"

"Rest assured, I assure you, the Empire will take good care of the families of every soldier who has died for the Empire."

The eyes of the new star supreme gradually turned red, and the others around him were also captivated.

Just then, a figure suddenly appeared next to the commander of the Eighth Army Corps.

"Your Excellency, I can help you solve this problem."

It was Hawking who withdrew his invisibility illusion.
