If they were all captured, it wouldn't be long until no one else worked in the mines. Only when these people are left alone can they continue to have offspring.
At that time the Grims would have an endless supply of slaves to work in the mine. At first, Julius Grim was unaware of the problem, causing the Buckeranian count to decrease drastically.
He only slowly realized the seriousness of the matter after some time. If there is no one left on Planet Buck, they will surely be called back to the Grim family, and the paradise-like life they know will come to an end.
This is why they developed such a strategy. If they let the hiding Buckeranians breed. When there was nothing left to work in the mine, all they needed to do was to uproot one or two groups of people from their hiding places to continue the work.
Julius Grims repeated it many times, and managed to extend their days in heaven. After freeing all the slaves, David and the two heaved a sigh of relief.
Looking for others is no longer urgent once they find out that they will not be in danger. David and the others are also preparing to continue their search mission after a night's rest.
As David returns to his Galaxy Warship, his communication device suddenly rings.
Ring Ring !
it was a message from Princess Astrid. Although Planet Buck cannot connect to the Royal Territory network, David has that system with him! He could completely ignore the distance. Wherever he is, he can connect to the network.
As for Astrid Barlowe, David had decided to try his best to keep his distance, and not interact too much with her. This was because he knew that Astrid Barlowe was starting to like him. If they continue to interact, it will cause a lot of problems in the future.
The main problem is Astrid's very unique identity. As the only daughter of the Milky Way Empire, she is also the favorite daughter of Emperor Nimbus.
If something were to happen between the two of them, the problem would be immeasurable. David has nothing to fear from anyone, especially with his current abilities, but he still doesn't really like being the center of attention, and being the center of attention of the entire Milky Way.
When facing all of that. If he added another princess to the list, wouldn't it be the same as him digging his own grave?
Shaking his head, David opened the message.
Astrid: Where are you now, David?
David: I am not currently in the Royal Territory. I'm very far away. What can I do for you, Your Majesty?
Astrid: Oh, your business isn't done yet, David?
David: Not yet ! It might still take a long time. If there's anything I can help you with, don't hesitate to say it, Your Majesty.
Astrid: David, three months from now, Dad will be having a state banquet at Planet Royal, and all the different powers of the Milky Way will be there to celebrate. I'd like to invite you to come. Are you going to come?
On Planet Royal far away, Astrid Barlowe sat in her room, staring nervously at her communication device after sending a message.
He was very worried that David would say that he had no time. It took him a long time to find an excuse to invite David to Planet Royal. If David refused, what would he do?
Did she have to actually ask her father to personally intervene, and forcibly arrest her so that David could be her husband?
'No, no! That's impossible!'
If he did that, David would be furious. He can't be selfish like that.
David sees Astrid's message and goes silent. 'Emperor Nimbus has planned a state banquet on Planet Royal three months from now?
All the powers of the Milky Way will be there to celebrate?
Did the state banquet of the Milky Way Empire not only happen once in a decade?
It's not time for that, is it?
There must be something big if attended by all the forces in the Milky Way.'
David instinctively feels that this state banquet is more than it seems on the surface.It may be related to the Sinner Sangruil. But what does that have to do with him?
Why did Astrid Barlowe invite her?
David thought about it more deeply, and he roughly understood Astrid's plan. She invited him to the state banquet was probably a trick. Actually, he wanted to meet her. The state banquet is nothing but an excuse. It would be better if he was not present.
If all the power of the Milky Way were present at the state banquet this time, and there would definitely be a rush. If she really sparked rumors between herself and Princess Astrid, she would definitely be famous and exposed.
He'll be in the spotlight and be the center of attention wherever he goes, and that's not a good thing. It was incompatible with his humble personality. David's answer is, therefore, that,
David: Your Honor, I'm really sorry! I will be busy with my current job and will not be in the Royal Region, so I may not be able to attend.
David has yet to realize that he is the biggest VIP in the Milky Way. With the combat rank of a portion of the Eternal Realm, he would be able to fight if he faced off against Emperor Nimbus.
And he had the three best fighting skills practiced perfectly, and the highest weapon of the Evil Splitting Sword that could cut through everything in the universe.
Moreover, he was with all these additional bonuses, only a true fight could show if Emperor Nimbus was truly a match for him. David felt there was nothing to be afraid of, especially Nimbus Barlowe.
Meanwhile, Astrid anxiously awaits David's reply. When he saw David's reply about him not being in the Royal Region, then he couldn't attend, Astrid felt sad.
When they separated, they had made a pact for him to get back together as soon as possible. It had been a long time, and not only did he not have the intention to come to Planet Royal, he even rejected it when he took the initiative to invite her.
As the Emperor's favorite daughter, when had she ever suffered such a grievance?
Astrid's tears flowed like a broken dam. It took him a while to get everything out, and when he finally dried up his tears, he felt that he could not just give up.
He must fight for his happiness. If David doesn't want to see it, he will change his approach. After thinking about it, Astrid finally found another legitimate reason.
Astrid: David, I told Dad and Mom about you who saved me, and they want you to attend the state banquet so they can thank you for saving me, and they wanted to ask more about the situation regarding the Sangruil Sinners. You have fought them, so you should know more about their fighting style. This time, Sinner Sangruil partnered with the Nine Head Serpent Clan and combined both of their genes. That would be a huge threat to people throughout the Milky Way, so Father and the others were trying to figure out a way to fight it. Can you temporarily put aside the work you have and travel here?
After he typed it up, he sent it over and quietly waited for the result. This time, he was no longer as anxious as before. Astrid believes that David will not reject her this time, as it concerns the safety of people throughout the Milky Way.
Also, what he said was technically not wrong. This time, Sinner Sangruil is partnering with the Nine Head Serpent Clan, and that could be disastrous for the Milky Way's inhabitants. The Nine Head Ssrpent clan was once one of the strongest clans among galactic beasts that liked to eat humans.
It would be troublesome once they interfere with the affairs of the Milky Way. Even his father and brother could be in danger. David finished reading Astrid's message. Exactly as he expected.
He knew the Sangruil Sinners were useless when they attacked Princess Astrid. Otherwise, they did not dare to act so blatantly. The speculation proved correct. Even the empire felt the danger.
The Sinners of Sangruil seem to have found a powerful partner, so they want back everything that once belonged to them. When it came to the Nine Head Serpent Clan, aside from what David had heard from Astrid, he had also obtained the info about them from the Meteor Chamber.
But he didn't find out more about them. The Meteor Chamber needed other heaven and earth treasures instead of Galaxy Dollars in return for in-depth information. David couldn't help it. Would he exchange it for the Evil Splitting Sword?
it was a weapon capable of slaughtering everything in the universe. It was impossible for him to use something that made him stronger in exchange for something useless.
He had only bought information from the Meteor Chamber to earn luxury points. Since he could not buy it, there was no need to make any transactions. Hence, he had only obtained basic information about the Nine Head Serpent Clan. He only knew that they were a greedy race of man-eaters.
But they are not in the Milky Way Galaxy, but rather the Beast Galaxy next to it. David did not know how strong this race was and whether it was as strong as the Eternal Realm. Since Sinner Sangruil and the Nine Head Serpent Clan had cooperated, they definitely had a deal with each other.
If Sinner Sangruil were to tear down the kingdom and take control of the Milky Way, everyone would die and become the fine dining of the Nine Head Serpent Clan. David doesn't want to be a busy man, but he is human after all.
He could not bear to see the Milky Way people become the food of another race. He would forget it if he was unable to. However, he had the power to stop her, so he could not stand up and watch.
David: His Majesty the Emperor does not need to thank me. Because we've faced them before. Don't worry, I'll be at Planet Royal in three months.
Astrid's tears turned into a smile upon seeing David's message. He knew David would say yes. Whatever the reason for coming to Planet Royal, all of that was fine as long as he was here.
Astrid: David, you are very principled. I thank you for Father and the people in the Milky Way.
David: Your Majesty, don't mention it!
I am human too. Of course, I am unwilling to see other powerful races invade our homeland. Especially if it was the Nine Head Serpent that preyed on humans. I will not refuse as long as I can help.
Astrid: Thank you very much, David. I'll be waiting for your arrival at Planet Royal in three months.
David: Okay! See you in three months.
Astrid finally smiled brightly after sending a message to David.
'David finally agreed. He will be at Planet Royal in three months, and I will be able to meet him by then.'
However, Astrid then looked a little depressed.
'There are still three months left! How can I spend my time faster?
If only time could be accelerated.'
When Astrid was frustrated, someone entered her bedroom. Only one person in the Milky Way walked into Princess Astrid's room without knocking on the door. That person was Empress Gamora, Astrid's biological mother. He was the only one who could do that. Even Emperor Nimbus needed to knock before entering.
After all, her daughter was an adult now. Forget the others. No one will do it unless they have a death wish.
“What's on your mind, my dear daughter?" Gamora came to Astrid and whispered in her ear.
“Aahhh!" Astrid was startled by that sudden voice.
“Mother! You scared me half to death.” Astrid said as she puffed her cheeks.
“You won't even know there's someone in this room if I don't talk. How dangerous is that? What if someone evil comes here?”
Astrid rolled her eyes. “Mother, this is my bedroom. No one but you dared to enter so quietly.”
“Alright, alright. Ii'm sorry. Tell me what's on your mind. You are so engrossed in your thoughts.”
“ No. Nothing!”
“Are you thinking about David's son again?”
“No. I didn't do it!”
“You look nervous, and you tell me that you're not nervous. Have you invited David to the state banquet in three months?" Ask Gamora.
He was worried David was a trap. Therefore, he needs to confirm David's identity as soon as possible. It would be best to intercept David outside if they knew where David was. Otherwise, they could lure him to Planet Royal. After all, Planet Royal was the headquarters of the Barlowe family.
“Already!" Answer Astrid.
“What did he say?”
"David says he will be on Planet Royal in three months.”
“It would be better if it were like that! I'll send someone to bring her here if she dares to refuse my baby girl."
"Mother, can you stop being rude?
Did you take you that way too?"
"Tenru just isn't. Your father and I love each other. By the way, did David say where he is now?"
"No, but he said he's not in the Royal Territory right now. He's somewhere far away.”
"So so.“
"What's wrong? Mom, is there a problem?”
"No, no! Everything was fine as long as he came to Planet Royal.”
“He promised me, so he'll be here!" Astrid said confidently.
Then she recalled something and added, “Mother, why didn't mom tell me what happened between dad and mom back then?”
“What do you want to tell? You're too young to understand this." Gamora shook her head and refused.
"Oh! Mother. Tell me everything! I'm not small anymore, okay? I'd love to hear your history.” said Astrid flirtatiously while holding Gamora's hand.
Gamora rolled her eyes at Astrid and said, “Alright! I'll tell you about it. Your father was amazing at the time. For the past thousands of years, he was the most talented person in the Milky Way. He has dazzled many girls, making them fall in love with him. I'm not bad either. I am an elder in the Lunar Palace, and many men adore me..."
Empress Gamora told Princess Astrid the story of her love and Emperor Nimbus. They go from acquaintances to lovers and then husband and wife. They have the highest status in the Milky Way. One was an imperial prince, and the other was an elder in the Lunar Palace.
Therefore, their families did not stop them. The two liked each other, so they naturally ended up together. They do not experience a tumultuous or dramatic romance. However, often the happiest thing is to have a peaceful relationship.
