Chapter 157 [Finally Surrender]

The O'Reilly Empire is the residence of the Chapman family.

Phil Chapman returned to the fleet group meeting room belonging to the Chapman family through interstellar projection and brought back the news he got from the Star Ancient Empire.

"Surrender?"

Aplan Chapman looked at Phil Chapman in shock and said, "Phil, you have to know that the history of our Chapman family is dozens of times that of the Star Ancient Empire and is almost the same as the history of the O'Reilly Empire. Tell me, our Chapman family is going to submit to the new civilization of the Star Ancient Empire?"

Shame, huge shame.

How many six-dimensional universes does the Chapman family control?
Now we have to give up those six-dimensional universes and become a subordinate civilization of the Star Ancient Empire.

"Aplan, you have to think about one thing clearly."

"To become a subordinate civilization of the Ancient Star Empire, you must think carefully about what the concept of a subordinate civilization is."

"A subordinate civilization is not a subordinate family."

Ophelia Chapman looked at April Chapman seriously and said solemnly.

"Nonsense, I definitely know the difference between a subordinate civilization and a subordinate family."

"Aren't subordinate civilizations equivalent to cannon fodder for the Star Ancient Empire?"

"If there is a war, they will certainly make us the vanguard cannon fodder of their empire."

April Chapman was no fool.

Who is a fool to become the commander of the combined fleet?

He just didn't want to use his brain.

If he really uses his brain, he is no weaker than anyone else.

"But what can we do?"

Phil Chapman looked at Aplan in front of him and said, "The Star Ancient Empire has given us the last chance. If we don't accept their conditions, we will perish. Do you want to see the Chapman family, a family that has been passed down for billions of years, disappear from the world?"

"Aplan, face reality!"

"What we are facing now is not the decadent O'Reilly Empire, but a new and vibrant war machine."

"What price will we have to pay to fight against a new war machine?"

"The destruction of the family."

"Are you willing?"

The words fell.

April Chapman fell silent.

He is weighing the gains and losses.

"We only have half an hour. If we cannot give any response to the Ancient Star Empire after half an hour, the chance of my return will be infinitely close to zero. At the same time, the Ancient Star Empire will also send a large army to completely destroy the Chapman family's military power."

Phil Chapman is dead serious.

He was not afraid of death, but he needed to think about the future for the Chapman family.

"Never doubt the power of the war machine."

"Family is family after all."

"We are unable to compete with the huge war machine."

Ophelia Chapman said: "There is an old saying in the Star Ancient Empire, 'a family that lasts for a thousand years, a dynasty that changes with time.' Perhaps, in today's era, this is no longer possible."

"In the face of such a war machine, perhaps this old saying will be reversed."

The family is permanent, the dynasty is changing.
It's more like the dynasty is permanent, but the families are transient.

"What do you think?"

Phil Chapman gave the two men some time to think about it. After seeing that they had almost finished thinking, he said, "We don't have much time left."

"If an answer is not given now, you know that war is imminent."

"Surrender."

Ophelia Chapman said: "I support the Chapman family to become a subordinate civilization of the Star Ancient Empire."

She had to choose. Only Aplan was still in deep thought.

"Surrender."

In the end, Aplan Chapman had no choice but to surrender to the Star Ancient Empire.

The consequences of not surrendering are something he cannot bear.

"I see."

……

After getting answers from Aplan and Ophelia, Phil Chapman cut off communication with the fleet and came to the conference room of the Sixth Joint Fleet of the Star Ancient Empire.

The five marshals have been waiting here for a long time.

None of them spoke as they looked at Phil Chapman who walked in from outside.

They were all waiting for Phil Chapman's answer.

The half hour given to them by the Secretary-General has expired.

If they cannot get the corresponding answers now, they will suppress Phil Chapman and then send their army into the territory controlled by the Chapman family.

Phil Chapman did not take his seat. Instead, he looked at the five marshals of the Star Ancient Empire and chose to kneel on one knee. He said, "Phil Chapman, hello to all the marshals. On behalf of the Chapman family, Phil Chapman is willing to submit to the empire and become a subordinate civilization of the empire. Wherever the empire points its sword, the Chapman family will follow."

"you are wrong."

Seeing this, Bai Lin's eyes showed disappointment and he shook his head slightly.

The others also had disappointed expressions on their faces, but none of them said anything.

"Please give instructions, Marshal Bai."

Phil Chapman raised his proud head, without the look of being high and mighty and dominating billions of lives at this moment, and asked doubtfully.

How come I was wrong?
"The Chapman family is not loyal to the empire, but to His Majesty the Emperor."

Bai Lin said.

Hear the words.

Phil Chapman pondered the meaning of these words.

Being loyal to the emperor does not mean being loyal to the empire?

So, this is what the Star Ancient Empire is like?

"The Chapman family is willing to serve as the vanguard of His Majesty the Emperor." Phil Chapman quickly reacted and said.

The Xinggu Empire is a true imperial country.

Although the O'Reilly Empire is also an imperial state, the power is controlled by their aristocratic families, not by the emperor.

Rather than saying that the O'Reilly Empire is an imperial country, it is better to say that the O'Reilly Empire is a country like the United Nations.

Because all power is in the hands of those families, Emperor O'Reilly does not have much military strength and power in his hands.

"I will only give you, the Chapman family, one hour to clear the way and withdraw all the warships under the command of the Six-Dimensional Universe and hand them over to the Empire."

"The Imperial Cabinet will arrange the rest for you."

Bai Lin looked at Phil Chapman seriously and said.

"May I ask Commander Bai, can we still build our own civilization in the six-dimensional universe that we originally controlled?"

Phil Chapman asked tentatively.

after all.

The six-dimensional universe where the family is located is their core and basic base. After so many years of development, the foundation must be extremely deep.

They also don't want to leave their homes.

"Remember, you are just a subordinate civilization. The most important thing is to wait for the arrangements from the empire."

Bai Lin glanced at him.

Did you drink too much fake wine?
Build civilization on the original basis?
You should ask the emperor about this matter!
The emperor agrees that you can build civilization on your original basis, so do I dare to speak?
