Almost everyone on the planet heard the global broadcast.
Evacuation assembly point?
Drawing evacuation chances?
Although they were surprised by this evacuation plan, the Fierce Dragon Fleet was currently their only hope of escape.
In an instant, a large number of people began rushing toward their nearest evacuation assembly points.
However, a small group of people were dissatisfied—naturally, those belonging to the privileged class.
"Drawing lots? As nobles, why should we draw lots with those commoners? We should have the privilege of priority evacuation!" complained a so-called noble without a Nobility Title.
"That's right, that's right! If necessary, I can buy a ticket! People like us, the elites, should be evacuated first!" a merchant chimed in.
"Don't worry. This so-called announcement is probably just a tactic by the Fierce Dragon Fleet to calm the chaos among the masses. When we get to the evacuation point and announce our statuses, among all the slots for the draw, there will naturally be a 'ticket' for us!" another rather arrogant man said flippantly.
Inside the Jiang Family mansion.
Patriarch Jiang Xiong looked up at the Starships of the Fierce Dragon Fleet with a complex expression. A year ago, he would never have imagined that one day, the Jiang Family would need to rely on the Fierce Dragon Fleet for rescue.
That lord fleet they once looked down upon had now become their only hope!
"Father, what should we do now?" Jiang Shasha asked, her expression equally complicated.
"Go to the evacuation point. It's the only way we can leave this place right now," Patriarch Jiang Xiong replied helplessly.
Although conflicting emotions stirred within him, this was indeed the only option available.
Soon, the Jiang Family patriarch led his family out of their mansion and headed toward the nearest evacuation point.
Along the way, they witnessed the devastation on the streets—Zerg everywhere, along with the remains of some people.
Hiss, hiss, hiss...
Suddenly, thousands of Interstellar Zerg with low-altitude flight capabilities seemed to lock onto their convoy as a target and swarmed toward them.
The Jiang Family convoy opened fire, but their Ammunition was nearly depleted. Just as they were about to be overwhelmed by the Zerg, the swarm was torn apart by a Bullet Curtain. Splattered Zerg remains even landed in front of Patriarch Jiang Xiong.
The Jiang Family members wore expressions of relief after narrowly escaping death. They looked to one side.
There stood a black stellar mecha, its body emblazoned with the Emblem of the Fierce Dragon Fleet.
After eliminating this group of Zerg, the black stellar mecha began patrolling other areas.
"It's truly hard to believe that in the year or so since we left, Zhao Chen has managed to build such an interstellar fleet and even possesses such advanced T2 stellar mecha," Patriarch Jiang Xiong exclaimed in amazement.
Those Jiang Family descendants who had always mocked Zhao Chen now fell silent.
When they left the Fierce Dragon Star System, they had boasted about waiting to see how Lord Zhao Chen would manage the Fierce Dragon Star System. They had assumed that after the Jiang Family's departure, the trade order of the Fierce Dragon Star System would collapse.
Whether the Fierce Dragon Star System collapsed or not, they didn't know. But right now, their own spirits were shattered.
Under an eerie atmosphere, the Jiang Family evacuated to the nearest evacuation point.
"Halt!" A squad of soldiers blocked the Jiang Family's path.
"We need to enter the evacuation point," Patriarch Jiang Xiong stepped forward to communicate.
"You may enter, but all vehicles and weapons in your possession must be left outside," the squad leader said, holding his weapon.
"Why! Who do you think you are!" one of the Jiang Family members protested indignantly.
The squad leader pointed at the T2 black stellar mecha stationed not far away, guarding this evacuation point: "Because we are the troops temporarily requisitioned by that Lord of Fierce Dragon.
We were originally soldiers of this planet. Not long ago, we received orders from the Star Sector Governor to unconditionally obey the commands of this Lord of Fierce Dragon.
And the orders we received are to guard this evacuation point. While defending against Zerg invasion, all civilians entering the evacuation point must disarm. Except for people and the items they carry on their persons, everything else must be left outside."
Hearing this, the Jiang Family's expressions changed drastically.
It must be known that the vehicles were loaded with a considerable amount of the Jiang Family's wealth. If these items could not be taken away, the Jiang Family's losses would be even more severe.
"We are the Jiang Family engaged in Interstellar Trade. You've heard of the Jiang Corporation, right?" Patriarch Jiang Xiong attempted to negotiate.
The squad leader said disdainfully, "Don't give me that useless talk. Just earlier, even someone claiming to be the sister-in-law of this planet's administrator wanted to bring her convoy inside, and I stopped her.
The Lord of Fierce Dragon's exact words were: either do as he says, or find your own way off this planet."
From his words, it was clear this squad leader greatly admired the Lord of Fierce Dragon.
Because being able to treat nobles and commoners equally—just this point alone made this lord very imposing!
"But these are our private properties! Why can't we bring them in!" Jiang Shasha couldn't help but say.
The squad leader pointed at the line of vehicles: "Look at your convoy. Over ten vehicles, including large trucks.
I don't know what you have inside them, and I'm not interested.
But I know that if we let you bring these things in, hundreds of people inside might not have space.
During evacuation, thousands of people on the Interstellar Transport Ships might not have space."
Jiang Shasha was speechless.
In their eyes, their own wealth and supplies were naturally more important than those lowly commoners, but they absolutely dared not say such words out loud at this moment.
"Are you mistaken? My sister is the Lord of Fierce Dragon's fiancée! Our Jiang Family are nobles from the Fierce Dragon Star System!" Jiang Ziwen couldn't help but step forward at this moment, putting on an air of importance.
And indeed, these words actually managed to fool this squad leader.
"Wait a moment," the squad leader seemed to be contacting someone.
"Ziwen, what are you saying!" Jiang Shasha pulled her brother aside. She had long since had no relationship with Zhao Chen. Bringing up this identity now would be utterly shameless.
"Sis, what are you afraid of? Right now, protecting our assets is what matters!" Jiang Ziwen said without a care.
"Sir, I have a group here claiming to be the Lord of Fierce Dragon's fiancée," the squad leader cautiously reported to the person on the other end of the communication.
He naturally could not directly contact the high-ranking figures of the Fierce Dragon Fleet.
He was currently contacting the pilot of the T2 Black Knight-class Light Interstellar Combat Mech responsible for their evacuation point.
"Fiancée? Our Lord of Fierce Dragon doesn't have any fiancée," the female soldier pilot replied in surprise.
