The azure figure of the gas giant planet Endor appeared above the dawn planet, reflecting the light of Endor's star and shining on the ground of the dawn planet.

After a year, in fact, there are not many times when the Dawn Planet can directly see the Endor star, but the light and radiation reflected by the gas giant Endor are still enough for the Dawn Planet to obtain enough energy to allow all things to grow.

So most of the time, Dawn Planet is neither too hot nor too cold, not to mention that it is like spring all the year round, at least three seasons like spring are well deserved.

For many residents of Dawn Star who opened their eyes after a night of partying, this new day is both ordinary and a new beginning.

From this day on, the Dawn Collar was formally established. Different from the Declaration of Independence issued by Planet Dawn when the war broke out before, the establishment of the Dawn Territory has truly formed itself into a separate regime or country.

To put it bluntly, it is Jianguo, and it has truly become the Principality of Liming!

Although the Principality of Dawn is still nominally subordinate to the Federation of Independent Galaxies, in fact, the relationship between the two has become similar to that between the leader and the members.

The Duchy of Dawn is just a member country of the Federation of Independent Galaxies.

It is truly a remarkable time for the many inhabitants of the planet Dawn who have come to this galaxy with the Mothership. They have experienced the time when they were homeless and floating in space; they also experienced the time when they were just a small colony, and even the pirates could not beat them; Time to turn around...

And now, they finally have their own country—the Duchy of Dawn!

Their former manager, former governor, and current grand duke——Tang Xiao, is fulfilling the promise to them step by step! And in fact, a large part of it has been realized!

Also changing is the Confederation of Independent Systems.

Among the major media broadcasts on Dawn Planet, other than Tang Xiao's appointment as the Grand Duke of Dawn, the news that is being played up is that Earl Dooku is going to officially take the chairmanship of the Confederation of Independent Systems three days later.

On that day, Grand Duke Tang Xiao would also come to the scene in person to offer his support to his nominal superior.

As for the Galactic Republic, there will also be huge changes.

First of all, the official establishment of the Confederation of Independent Galaxies and the Principality of Dawn gave the Republic two resounding slaps. You must know that even the Hutts, the reason why they have been able to coexist with the Galactic Republic for so long is that they have given up their country title of the Hutt Empire.

So why does the Galactic Republic ignore them even though the Hutts are still independent from the Galactic Republic? It is because they are now called Hutt space, which is a place name! Instead of a country name like the Hutt Empire!

Not to mention that, the battle that was taking place in the Ennaco galaxy also came to an end on the night Tang Xiao took office as the Grand Duke of Liming.

Under the series of precise and crazy actions of the guerrilla fleet led by Rear Admiral Malcolm Granger, the logistical supplies of the main fleet of the 17th Army of the Galactic Republic, which was invading the Ennaco star system, had already been cut off.

The guerrilla fleet ran around between the planet Kalinda and the planet Naboo, disrupting the hyperspace waterway, and attacking the Republic's transport fleet, and persisted alive for three days!

Seizing these precious three days, Ling Liang commanded the Titan battleship Xuanwu and the compound battle group it belonged to, and launched a fierce attack!

The reason for the active attack is to intensify the material consumption of the main fleet of the 17th Army, and use the mentality of the commander of the Republic Fleet who caught fire in the backyard to make them mess up.

It's just an active attack. In fact, for the fleet of the Principality of Liming, this is more like stretching out your face to others. It's just that the face stretched out is so thick and hard, and it also has so many thorns.

After all, the fleet in Ling Liang’s hands is definitely inferior to the main fleet of the 17th Army of the Republic. Even with such a powerful weapon as the particle light spear, this fleet is generally defensive, and their firepower is far inferior on the other side.

Even comparing the super battleships of the two sides, the firepower of the three Commander II-class dreadnoughts has already surpassed that of the Xuanwu by a lot.

So since the firepower was not dominant, Ling Liang commanded his own fleet to constantly use the Xuanwu's group shields to circle around, constantly adjusting the formation, and let the battleships with intact shields bear the firepower of the Republic warships, consuming their supplies and energy.

You have to say, with the support of the Titan battleship Xuanwu, the fleet of the Principality of Liming is really good at this, just like the stones in the latrine, smelly and hard.

how? Are you not convinced? Kill me if you refuse to accept it? My Xuanwu wants to be beaten to death by you today! If you can't kill me, it's hard to say what will happen next.

Hearing that the rear was raided and supplies cut off, Admiral Kourney of the 17th Army thought of another matter.

He still followed the dogma he had learned in the academy, and when the supplies were cut off and the troops were superior, he launched a resolute assault as soon as possible while the supplies he carried were still sufficient, so as to avoid the battle being dragged into a protracted war and the supplies bottoming out.

In his opinion, Ling Liang's fleet launched an attack on his own accord, but who knew that his actions were also in Ling Liang's favor.

Therefore, the main fleet of the 17th Army of the Republic launched a frenzied attack on the Xuanwu, trying to use its own strength to destroy the Xuanwu in one fell swoop!

However, the bloody and brutal fact told him——you think too much.

In this high-intensity continuous battle between the two sides, the supplies of the Republic Fleet gradually bottomed out, while the supplies from Lingliang's side continued to arrive.

forgot? But she didn't push all the main fleet of Sesvenna sector to the Ennaco galaxy to increase the difficulty of her supply, and she was backed by Ennaco planet, the trade alliance's cargo distribution center, so how could she lack supplies?

So after three days of fighting, the fighting state of the main fleet of the 17th Army became worse and worse. Damaged parts are not replaced, depleted capacitors are not recharged, and wounded soldiers are not treated.

Finally, Malcolm Granger led the guerrilla fleet to get rid of the pursuers and rush all the way from the planet Naboo to the planet Ennako, when they appeared behind the Republic fleet...

This was the straw that broke the camel's back!
