Bob did not know that the Helkan civilization did not even have mechas a year ago. Naturally, they did not have any battleships either.
These warships had been mass produced in the past month.
It was all thanks to Brian's heaven-defying Overlord's Talent.
Without Brian's Overlord's Talent, it would take at least a hundred years to build so many battleships, even if there was an endless amount of resources on Planet Helka.
If they included the time it took to solve countless technical problems, it was possible that Planet Helka would not be able to build a battleship capable of spatial hyperdrive after 1,000 or even 10,000 years.
After Brian heard what Bob said…
He despised Bob.
However, he understood.
As Bob had said, if Brian had been this strong a year ago, Bob would never have dared to assassinate Brian.
Others would only respect him when he was strong.
Even though Brian despised Bob, he had to admit that Bob was very useful now.
Furthermore, Bob was very perceptive.
Thus, if Bob obeyed him, he would consider putting Bob in an important position.
As long as there were enough benefits, there would be no eternal enemies.
Then, Brian spoke to Bob in a very sincere tone.
"After you complete the mission we have given you, you'll be free again. You can take your family away, or you can choose to continue serving the Helka civilization. You're a smart person, so I believe that you'll make a wise choice."
Bob listened to Brian and said helplessly.
"Do I have a choice… After sending the fake news to the S Battleship Fleet, I have completely become an enemy of Planet Bhutler."
Bob paused for a second.
"As long as you don't mind my previous betrayal of Planet Helka, I am willing to serve you from now on!"
With that, Bob dropped to his knees.
"However, Overlord, I beg you to keep my family safe. It's been a long time since I've seen my beautiful wife and lovely daughter. They're all kind Helkans, so they don't know that I betrayed them. It's all my own fault…"
Brian got the answer he wanted and smiled at Bob.
"I naturally won't go back on my word. You'll see your family soon. They're on this warship and are absolutely safe."
"What! My lord, did I hear you wrongly?"
When Bob heard that he could see his family immediately, he suddenly looked up at Brian with a shocked and excited expression.
"You heard me right. However, you need to answer one more question for me. Also, you don't have to kneel on the floor. I'm not a dictator."
Bob stood up and spoke excitedly.
"Please speak, Overlord. I'll tell you everything I know."
Then, Brian spoke slowly.
"You've been in contact with the Bhutlerians. Thus, you should know the strength of the planet."
"Then, do you think that I will be able to defeat the full S Battleship Fleet from Planet Bhutler with my current fleet size?"
When Bob heard Brian's words, he was extremely shocked and simply fell to the ground from shock.
What?
A full fleet!
Upon hearing Brian's words, Bob had an unpleasant premonition.
He had a feeling that Brian must have pissed off the upper echelons of Planet Bhutler.
"What, do you think that with the current strength of Planet Helka, we won't even be able to defeat a full fleet from Planet Bhutler?"
Brian's expression was very ugly.
Just a full fleet from Planet Bhutler had caused such a big reaction from Bob.
Could it be that the strength of Planet Bhutler was stronger than he had imagined?
Bob rubbed his buttocks and struggled to his feet.
Then, he hurriedly explained.
"No, I just didn't think that Planet Bhutler would send a full fleet over."
"With the current strength of Planet Helka, you can totally defeat a full S Battleship Fleet from Planet Bhutler."
"The full S Battleship Fleet only has one ten-thousand-meter heavy battleship as the main battleship. Meanwhile, the Helka fleet has 20 destruction-grade battleships."
"In terms of combat power, the Overlord's fleet will definitely achieve victory. If the upper echelons of Planet Bhutler had known about the strength of Planet Helka, they would not have sent just one fleet over."
If they wanted to defeat Brian's fleet, they had to send all their fleets.
In fact, they might even give up on attacking as they could not defeat Brian's fleet.
Bob had a feeling that Planet Bhutler was in big trouble. It was very likely that they would disappear from the Model Galaxy.
"However, the strength of the S Battleship Fleet cannot be underestimated. The Helka fleet might suffer some casualties."
Brian's expression looked much better after hearing what Bob said.
"Haha, the upper echelons of Planet Bhutler received your message and believe that Planet Helka had suffered heavy losses in the previous battle. In the worst case scenario, the upper echelons of Planet Bhutler will only send two fleets."
"You don't have to worry about the casualties. As long as you complete the mission conscientiously, your family will definitely not be in danger."
Bob smiled wryly. It seemed that he had really played a big part this time.
After this war, he would have completely offended Planet Bhutler and could only rely on the Helka civilization.
When he recalled his previous idea of escaping from Planet Helka, he felt that the past him was very stupid.
It turned out that he had no choice when he first sent fake news to Planet Bhutler.
Then, Bob asked a question.
"Overlord, my family…"
"Take a look behind you."
Bob turned to find his wife and daughter standing in the doorway, smiling at him…
After confirming the safety of his family, Bob decided to stay loyal to Planet Helka.
However, Bob was very curious.
"Overlord, there's a question that I can't seem to figure out."
"Speak."
"I don't understand how Planet Helka managed to build so many destruction-grade battleships in the span of a year."
"A long time ago, Planet Helka was under the surveillance of Planet Bhutler. It could be said that every action on Planet Helka was exposed to Planet Bhutler. The surveillance only stopped a year ago."
"However, Planet Bhutler never knew of the Overlord's existence."
Brian smiled.
"You will naturally witness how the battleships are produced after this battle. As for why I managed to escape the surveillance of Planet Bhutler, this is a secret that I cannot tell you about."
Then, Bob changed the subject.
"Overlord, what is your ultimate goal?"
Brian looked grim when he heard Bob's question.
"My goal is very simple. First, I will eliminate the brutal Bhutler civilization from the Model Galaxy. Then, I will investigate a conspiracy."
Brian also had many questions that he had no answers to.
Who had summoned him to the Model Galaxy?
Who exactly had summoned him?
What was the purpose of those who were hiding in the dark? Why would they let hundreds of thousands of Earthlings compete in the interstellar war?
Did the Model Galaxy that he was in exist in real life?
…
Brian didn't hide anything from Bob. Instead, he answered honestly.
