Before returning to Sky Rush Valley, Song Xingru had specifically kept Song Chi around for a while longer.
"Little Chi, have you heard any news about the great pioneer war recently?"
Song Chi raised an eyebrow and then nodded quickly.
As for these rumors, which were no longer a secret among the upper echelons of the principality, of course, he was aware. He had heard that the overlord of the Heavenly Disk Galaxy, the "Yaohan Kingdom," which was the suzerain state above the principality, was about to launch an external pioneer war, primarily aimed at expanding the kingdom's territory to increase the borders of the Torchlight Humanity's galaxy cluster.
Apart from that, he also understood that this was an action fraught with both danger and opportunity. If managed well, it could yield unimaginable wealth, but any deviation could result in even a Torchlight Humanity state like the Chenxing Principality potentially toppling over.
