"We are the patrol officers sent by the Imperial Royal Family, holding official documents personally issued by the Royal Palace's administrative office. You have no right to stop us from entering!"

At this moment, at the Tianlong System's space checkpoint station.

A few small warships from the main star system were lined up at the entrance, denied passage. They had no choice but to contact the station guards via wireless communication and sent over electronic copies of the official documents.

The guards inside the station glanced at them.

Not particularly concerned: "Oh, official documents, we have plenty of those here."

"Yeah, we've got stacks of them."

"Back when we used official documents to request support and assistance from the Empire, why didn't the Royal Family cooperate then?"

Over the warship's broadcast, the voices of the Tianlong System guards came through, dripping with sarcasm.

They even laughed a few times before saying, "So the rule we've learned is to ignore all official and private documents!"

After the mockery, the leading guard inside the station spoke in a serious tone, snorting, "You from the main star system never treated us as equals before. Why should Tianlong cooperate and let you pass now?"

The people inside the warships were dumbfounded.

Exchanging glances, they thought, wasn't it said that the Tianlong System had already been pacified and re-submitted to the Silver Dragon Battalion and the Empire? What's with this attitude now?

"Brothers, we're all soldiers of the Silver Dragon Battalion. We don't want to clash with you."

"Please cooperate with our work."

The broadcast responded again: "Wait, who are you calling brothers? Don't address us so casually."

"We from Tianlong dare not accept such familiarity."

The communication officer inside the warship couldn't take it anymore, feeling increasingly humiliated.

His tone gradually hardened: "We are on a mission with a legally valid search warrant, ordered to enter the Tianlong System, which may harbor wanted criminals of the Empire, for search and arrest operations."

"Resisting the orders of the faction and the Empire will be treated as rebellion. We have the right to attack and force our way through. We hope that before any violent conflict causes harm to innocent people, all military guards of the Silver Dragon-Tianlong System will cooperate and let us pass."

A few seconds later, the broadcast from the station guards came through again, scoffing: "Stop dreaming."

"Get this straight, our Tianlong belongs to the Silver Dragon with Colonel Xu, not the Silver Dragon controlled by the Royal Palace. Colonel Xu is the boss here in Tianlong. Not only is he not here right now, but even if he were, we wouldn't let you in!"

"Tianlong is the Tianlong System! We haven't even settled the score with you for arresting our boss and sending him to the Tower of Evil, and now you have the nerve to come here to arrest people?"

"Pah, get lost!"

The person passionately speaking into the communicator at the space checkpoint station was Ma Biao.

Known for his fierce temperament, he had taken control of all space checkpoint stations in the Tianlong System as soon as the Empire announced the arrest warrant for Xu Qingran, anticipating they would come to Tianlong.
