The new Commander of the Universe Army, Xiao Yu, immediately organized the Universe Navy Fleet near Earth to stand by, as no one could tell who the incoming people really were at that time.
However, the anxiety of the people on Earth lasted only a few short minutes before the more than two thousand warships directly sent a public communication to the Star Alliance.
Quantum communication, without the corresponding particle key, is impossible for mutual transmission, but there is no problem with radio wave communication.
The video screen lit up, showing a man adorned in an exquisite white robe, a white leather sleeveless cape, wearing a crown with a silver feather inserted at the top.
This man was exceptionally handsome, as though he were an Elf King from a movie, exuding arrogance in his demeanor. In a measured tone, he said, "I never expected to see people from the United Empire in another world, too. Have you also come to the realization that our Chancellor has left our plane of existence and gone to other worlds?"
Du Peng, the Prime Minister of the Star Alliance and not Bai Zhongqi, was directly communicating with this man and asked, "Who are you?"
The handsome middle-aged man suddenly laughed with a hint of mockery and said, "You've forgotten us? Perhaps too much time has gone by, and you people of the United Empire have completely forgotten the glory that belongs to the Chancellor. You obey those twelve usurpers and have no intention of finding the Chancellor."
Du Peng frowned and said, "What nonsensical talk is this?"
Bai Zhongqi also listened somewhat blankly. It was clear that the man in the white robe had deep connections with Iridium Star, yet seemed to be at odds with the United Empire of Iridium Star.
At this moment, Xu Lanzhou arrived beside Bai Zhongqi. Although he had stepped down as the Commander of the Universe Army, Xu Lanzhou was still an important advisor to Bai Zhongqi. She not only had expertise in military affairs but was also more familiar with the various situations on Iridium Star than the average person.
Xu Lanzhou saluted Bai Zhongqi, having already heard what the man in the white robe had said. Without much contemplation, Xu Lanzhou spoke to Bai Zhongqi, "Your Majesty, judging by his tone, he must be from the Silver Feather Army."
Bai Zhongqi was stunned, as this was a somewhat unfamiliar term to him. Zero considerately searched the historical database and quickly found an entry about the Silver Feather Army for him.
As the first image appeared, Bai Zhongqi almost cried out in shock. The picture showed a group of knights, dressed similarly to the man in the white robe, wearing white tunics, white leather capelets, white cloaks, and crowns with silver plumes, all riding snow-white warhorses.
These knights looked exactly like the white-robed knights Bai Zhongqi had just seen in his dream, charging out from the silver portal!
The Silver Feather Army was a legend long buried in the history of Iridium Star. Because the people of Iridium Star deliberately ignored it, very few of the current generation knew anything about the Silver Feather Army.
It was said that before Iridium Star officially entered the Intergalactic Era, the "Chancellor" still led his deployment on Iridium Star, fighting for the unification of the planet. The Chancellor had a group of particularly formidable warriors under his command. They wore white robes, donned silver plumes, and were invincible. Although their numbers were few, wherever they went, armies retreated before them. At that time, the Silver Feather Army was the Chancellor's personal troops, and their arrival meant the Chancellor himself was present. Any enemy who saw the Silver Feather Army's formation from afar would immediately retreat to avoid the formidable edge of this terrifying army.
Gradually, the Silver Feather Army became the strongest military force under the Chancellor, and its members held themselves in high esteem, believing they were the most excellent and prestigious beings. Even the Twelve Knights of Destiny, who wielded the Chancellor's twelve Universe Artifacts, were looked upon disdainfully by the Army, let alone the contingents of each Knight of Destiny.
Until one day, the Chancellor disappeared. The Supreme Command remained in place, and Iridium Star stepped into the Intergalactic Era, beginning to explore the broader universe. The Twelve Knights of Destiny and the nobility of Iridium Star quickly established an administrative system, unconditionally obeying the command of the Supreme Command, while daily affairs were controlled by a huge interest group formed by the Twelve Knights of Destiny.
By the time the Silver Feather Army realized what had happened, the United Empire of Iridium Star had already been established, and the Silver Feather Army had lost its greatest support and was being gradually marginalized.
This situation continued for two hundred years. When the Silver Feather Army gradually lost its power, and even the battlefield became hard to reach, their discontent finally erupted. The Commander of the Silver Feather Army, their Grand Commander, openly accused the descendants of the Twelve Knights of Destiny and the related interest families of usurping the power of Iridium Star, impersonating the Chancellor's Supreme Command, and showing no concern for retrieving the Chancellor, declaring them utterly condemnible.
In the end, the only civil war in the history of Iridium Star erupted. The Silver Feather Army rebelled on Iridium Star, and the hereditary Silver Feather Army and the United Empire represented by the Twelve Knights of Destiny fought fiercely for half a year over the control of Iridium Star. Naturally, the war ended with the defeat of the outnumbered Silver Feather Army, but the Twelve Knights of Destiny did not exterminate them but instead exiled them from Iridium Star.
The last surviving Knight of Destiny, the Knight of Destiny in Charge of Imperial Rewards, commented that since the Silver Feather Army was so eager to find the Chancellor, they should be allowed to search. As such, all members of the Silver Feather Army and their relatives were placed aboard ships with only basic defensive capabilities. After their defeat, the Silver Feather Army had no desire to stay on Iridium Star and vanished from the sight of the people of Iridium Star.
Bai Zhongqi had no knowledge of this history. However, he did encounter such a random event of the Iridium Star civil war during a gaming session. At that time, resolving the event only took a minute, without any mention of the Silver Feather Army.
Unimaginably, 4800 years later, the Silver Feather Army reencountered the Iridium Star people who were equally lost in this alternate universe.
Bai Zhongqi thought about it briefly and directly switched the video call with the man in the white robe to himself.
The man in the white robe, who was just about to berate Du Peng for being a lapdog of the Knight of Destiny, paused as the image shifted and a young man wearing Chancellor robes appeared.
"It's been a long time, my Silver Feather Army lads."
The man in the white robe hesitated for a moment, then burst into tears in less than a second.
This man in the white robe collapsed onto his knees like a mountain crumbling down, weeping intensely. Between sobs, he exclaimed, "After four thousand years of wandering and displacement, countless Silver Feathers vanished into smoke and mist, we have finally found you!"
Bai Zhongqi was somewhat startled himself; he had originally planned to use some excuse to persuade the man. After all, the other party did not have as convincing evidence as the Supreme Command to believe in, but he knelt down and paid homage to Bai the moment he saw him.
"This turned out to be easier than I thought..." Bai Zhongqi, on the contrary, began to feel somewhat embarrassed.
