Chapter 419 The Secret Beginning of Alliance

It is unclear when exactly, but a series of dramatic changes began in the southern border sector of the Empire (Alice Territory)—this border of the Empire was originally deserted, with its only administrative center being a space station.

And now, it is becoming active again.

After Alice legally acquired this star sector, the United Nations began its own transformation of the region—the light blue gear and wheat banner emblem that Alice submitted to the Imperial Heraldry Department was hung high on every landable planet, and several barren and pristine habitable planets welcomed organized expeditions.

One after another, UN starships brought settlers to this star sector. These massive colonial ships carried groups of people from Columbia, Amelancy, Lucy, and many other sovereign nations.

Along with this came several expeditionary research teams from the United Nations Office for Scientific Research, Development and Heritage Technology Development. These seemingly barren planets, beneath their thick layers of rock and soil, once lay buried facilities built by the United Nations on Earth, some public and some secret.

Meanwhile, several pirate fleets hiding in the southern border star sector were also located one by one.

"I've locked onto the enemy, Amelansi 1-2."

"Your guidance data has been received. Launch Red Gun-12."

At the border, a massive Amelansi space destroyer launched several precious space jump anti-ship missiles, her target being pirate ships dozens of astronomical units away—these border pirates, using decommissioned Imperial naval warships or civilian vessels, resembled mobile nomadic tribes, and these slow-moving, predictable pirate ships crawled like tortoises within the UN fleet system.

As these pirates were eliminated one by one, the southern frontier sector was clearer than ever before—and under Alice's banner, more and more refugees and immigrants poured in.

The proposal to establish an industrial consortium in the border star sector was passed unanimously, and the sector was renamed the "Tail Star Sector," restoring the old United Nations administrative name.

Of course, none of this was without its flaws. The large-scale construction in these areas and the reforms under the imperial administrative framework were bound to have some leaks, and these covert confrontations would naturally come to light.

When this covert confrontation is brought into the open, it naturally becomes an exchange of interests.

"I said, my dear sister, is this how you treat your older sisters whom you're meeting for the first time?"

The third princess, Valerie Danleix, and the fourth princess, Corey Danleix, sat before Alice, eager to know what kind of opponent this "sister" who had appeared out of nowhere was.

There were no luxurious rooms or fine wines. Alice sat atop a roaring main battle tank equipped with harvesting equipment—all around her was a sea of ​​rice and wheat, with heavy equipment humming in the paddy fields and wheat fields. The warehouses of Tianjing City contained countless harvesting machines, but these fuel-powered machines were never allowed to be used by farmers.

But now, that will never happen again. On this agricultural planet that produces billions of crops, the era of farmers becoming masters of their own destiny has arrived.

The wind blew Alice's long hair as she looked at the two elegantly dressed "sisters" and said, "We have no other conditions here. Autumn has arrived, and the harvest time has come."

Alice jumped down from the roaring, harvester-like tank and looked at the two princesses. Valerie Danlex looked at the roaring tank behind Alice. This was not any of the familiar Imperial tanks; those cumbersome, breakthrough-style machines did not have the perfect size of what was before her.

These were her special tools, but she saw the farmers using them.

"Hmm, dear little sister, perhaps if you treat your older sisters well, they'll smooth things over for you regarding your territory. Although His Majesty granted you these star sectors, those powerful figures won't stand idly by and watch you take their wealth."

Several people with their hands tied behind their backs were thrown from the convoy to the side. Their faces were covered. The Fourth Princess, Corelli Danleix, nodded to the men in black inside.

"New Yanjing is United Grain's territory, my dear sister. Next time you're going to kill someone, remember to find out who you're going to be messing with, okay?"

Alice looked at the people on the ground and sighed. She knew all too well that the empire was not only composed of nobles and bureaucrats, but also of mega-corporations and capitalists!

The fact that the new Yanjing has become like this is undoubtedly the work of those giant agricultural and food complexes.

So what? Send a fleet?

"Oh dear, assassination of royalty, the evidence is irrefutable."

Claire Danlex laughed. She looked about the same size as Alice, but she was ruthless. She pressed a pistol against the back of the head of the person on the ground and pulled the trigger.

The sonic boom of the electromagnetic pistol and the sound of bones shattering rang out, and a servant handed a briefcase to Rafis, who was standing next to Alice.

"It seems your guards are unaware of this matter?"

Rafis paused, then shook her head. Alice might not know, but as her guard, she couldn't possibly be unaware of this. However, Alice had no local connections—even if her comrades in the resistance had accepted her, it would be difficult to relay information in a timely manner.

"I've prepared contingency plans, but the local intelligence network is really weak, Miss Alice..."

“This isn’t your problem, Rafis. We knew this would happen, but it’s obvious—”

Alice darted forward, her eyes flashing with a scarlet light, and the people kneeling on the ground collapsed lifelessly.

"If this situation hadn't reminded us, we might have forgotten about these so-called skills or strange abilities long ago."

"The mastermind behind this is the Comet Assassins, and the client is the CEO of the United Food Company... Rafis, have someone search the asteroid belt using this transponder signal..."

The ability to forcibly extract memories from a person's brain was named "memory drain" long ago. It can be a deadly killing technique or an ability to obtain information.

Just as Alice was pondering her next move, a heavy, orderly march of footsteps sounded—red flags fluttering, a procession of peasants and their children, carrying red flags and rifles, marched in.

The members of the Workers' and Peasants' Red Guards raised their heads and strode forward.

"Well then, thank you, my dear sisters, but this help shouldn't have been given for nothing, right?"

Alice smiled as she looked at the princesses before her.
