Him and their stars

Eight escorting cruisers and three very large immigration ships would be considered an independent nomadic "tribe" if they were in the center of the galaxy.

However, such a group should not appear in the hinterland of the empire anyway.

Of course, this "nomadic tribe" of predators did not discover the Buran hiding in the icy asteroid belt. They passed through the entire galaxy without anyone noticing, and then jumped away in the other direction.

That is clearly the direction of the "Gate of Glory".

It wasn't until all the predator fleets disappeared into the distance that everyone breathed a sigh of relief. They all felt lucky to have escaped, but then they realized that this was not the time to feel lucky.

"Why do predator ships enter this system and go to the Gate of Glory? Captain, what do you think?" the commander asked the captain.

"Your Excellency, I think there must be something fishy about this matter. So..."

"So we can only go and have a look, right?"

Well, what I want to say is to wait a little longer until the reinforcements from His Royal Highness King Suliuka arrive! You are a person who will persevere to the end if you want, and be as brave as possible if you want. Can you please stop being so divisive? It is difficult for hard-working craftsmen like us to cooperate!

However, before the captain could complain, Colonel Soback said fiercely: "Find out the situation here to the Grand Marshal's Mansion in Tianyu and the headquarters of Luyuan Star... and then, let's follow them!"

This was not because Colonel Soback suddenly became brave, but that he suddenly realized that since there were residential ships in the opponent's fleet, the speed and maneuverability would be greatly reduced when sailing at sub-light speed, and it would be impossible to outrun them. My own Clear Sky class ship. In this case, why not follow up and take a look? This is safer than exploring the lion's den, and it's also reasonable and legal.

Since the other party was a giant immigrant fleet, the space vibration left during the jump was quite intense. The Buran, which was equipped with special detection equipment, quickly calculated which gravity well the opponent was using, and then decisively followed it under Soback's command.

So, of course he didn't know that just when he left the Telescope 77 galaxy, more predator fleets jumped over again from the direction of the Lion's Den Fortress. The first thing to come over was still the combination of three immigrant ships and seven escort ships. But what appeared next were two larger production ships and a Dreadnought-class "Fire-Spitting Ship."

This is exactly like a great migration of the whole people. It is roughly equivalent to the nomadic people on the grassland who, after breaking through the Great Wall, moved towards the central hinterland with their tents, livestock, pots, pans, wives and children.

In fact, in addition to the two to three thousand battleships of various types, the predator fleet currently gathered in the Lion's Den Fortress includes more than thirty large immigration ships and production ships. Judging from the living space of the plunderers, in addition to soldiers, there are definitely tens of millions of civilians and slave laborers. With the nomadic behavior of the predators, men, women, and children, who can go into battle to kill and shoot people as long as they can carry weapons, under extreme conditions, they can mobilize an army of nearly ten million.

Of course, it's far from that level yet.

The new Great Khan of the Predators and the young Queen of the Erro people, Tomitelli Masegetai, feels that it is a waste to let valuable technicians and children with unlimited futures carry weapons to the front line. .

As for the elderly who have declined, are they allowed to go to the battlefield without being given housing allowance and food? Isn't this wasteful?

"Listen, Mankara, even if our warship is sunk, we must protect the safety of the immigration ship and work ship." She said to her most capable subordinate: "After leaving the lion's den, follow the original plan Plan the march. Don’t be stingy with the medicine you need. If everything goes well, I will meet you on the other side within a month.”

Mankara was a full head taller than the female Khan, but in front of the latter he was as humble as a loyal dog. He gently tapped the armor on his chest with his hand, and was about to leave, then said: "If...if you haven't arrived at the appointed time, what should I do?"

"Then return to the Galactic Center as originally planned." Khan said with a smile: "At that time, King Aero will belong to my nephew Jeste, and you will be the regent until he comes of age."

"I can't be a nanny." Jeste sighed: "So, please be sure to arrive within the agreed time."

The female Khan glanced at the other party, but smiled and said: "I will try my best. However, you have to know that if you do not arrive at the specified time, I will not wait for you."

"It should be like this. We are gambling, so we must be mentally prepared to lose everything." General Mankara did not express any doubts, and walked away with a determined expression.

This well-known general among the Ero people will serve as the commander of a predator fleet, leading more than four million soldiers and civilians, divided into six immigration ships, three work ships and more than fifty large and small warships. leave.

This is the third group of predator fleet heading towards the Gate of Glory.

Of course, not everyone will leave.

You must know that the fleet currently gathered in the Lion's Den Galaxy is not just the Ero people's headquarters group directly under Khan, but also includes the considerable fleets of the giants of Myshandar and the Bearded Men of Beato.

These two are also very famous warrior races. Their countries were destroyed by humans during the Galactic Age of Discovery that lasted for thousands of years. Some of them surrendered and started a promising career selling fists for a living, while others were wild and wild. , completely turned into an outlaw. In the early Age of Discovery, when the territories and spheres of influence of the galactic nations were not yet so clear, the mercenary fleets of the Mysanders and the Beators were the most influential figures in the chaos of the universe.

To put it bluntly, these two races should be born to feed on nomadic mercenaries.

In the years of war, the Myshandar and Beato people, who fought bravely but acted cruelly, became known as "Trolls" and "Bearded Demons". Its reputation can be imagined.

Therefore, when the situation gradually calmed down, the mercenary fleet, which had become increasingly warlord-like, was naturally unable to take the stage. The two major human nations that had been burned by the river turned around and immediately expelled them to the center of the galaxy to play a two-person game.

When the Elo empire was destroyed, a large number of Elo elites also fled. The duo becomes a tripartite force. After being on the tripod for a while, they all found that they couldn't do anything to each other, so they simply changed their thinking. Since everyone is a life-and-death enemy of mankind, why should they unite?

As a result, an alliance of predator groups widely distributed in the center of the galaxy was established. As for the leader of the alliance, they will elect the Great Khan from among the tribal leaders of the raiders to serve as the leader of all raiders.

Of course, we also know that the Galactic Center occupied by the Predator Tribe can be said to be a true harbor of filth and evil, attracting people of all races. There are even some human commanders among its elite battle groups, but the absolute main force is These are still the first three major races, and the Great Khan will only emerge from among them.

"We are called outlaws, barbarians and the cancer of civilization, but we are obviously very democratic! It is not the stupid politics of the Alliance that plays electoral games, nor is it a hereditary bloodline like the Empire. It is clear This is true democracy based on ability!”

When it comes to this, the predators are actually very proud.

Of course, from the above development, we can realize that the Great Khan of the Predators is not an authoritative leader who sticks to his word in the true sense, but is just a relatively loose leader. How much say the Great Khan has over the leaders of the tribes or military under his command depends entirely on his personal strength.

The reason why the current new Great Khan, Queen Masegetai of Erro, came to power was not because she was the best at fighting, but because she had food in her hands - although the other warlord leaders did not understand why at all - in In the center of the world, if there is food, there will be money, so we can use every opportunity to draw on each other's strength.

But we also know that generally speaking, the prestige of leaders who use this method to rise to the top is very limited.

Although Masegetai Khan is neither bald nor has she bought a diploma from a pheasant school, has not had the opportunity to lose money in the stock market, and has never been a cross-dressing boss, the Sister of the Holy Spear, but if she can get information from another parallel universe, what can she do? Fortunately, I will have a feeling of sympathy for that person.

Moreover, according to the aesthetics of the Erro people, and even humans, the female Khan can be regarded as a beauty with a rather alien style, and it seems that she is even more difficult to be hard. No, when she had a meeting with the warlord leaders of the other two races, her attitude was quite correct.

"I will set off within 20 hours of standard time. Everything in Lion's Den Fortress and Far Home Planet is left to you two. If you have any other requests, you can tell me now." The female Khan said.

The holographic projections of the two warlord leaders looked at each other. The Myshandar troll general who was over three meters tall put on a tentative and apologetic smile on his truly ferocious face, which was naturally capable of scaring a group of children to tears, and said carefully: "Two automatic food stations were discovered on the Far Country Star. In the processing plant, as long as it can extract carbohydrates and proteins, it can be compressed into food. I was wondering if this thing can be used on the boat and can we move it away."

The female khan smiled and nodded. Therefore, the two Khans, who looked like devil-level characters at first sight, showed ecstatic expressions, as if the refugees who had not had a full meal for months had finally found a full granary. .

In fact, it was not a food processing factory, but a feed processing factory. The compressed food is not even eaten by pets, but is used by local residents in distant villages to feed sandworms.

There are deserts, there are sandworms, and there are spices. This is common sense in the universe. And as long as it is a living thing, it can definitely be tamed. It's hard to say about the other countries, but the empire, which can even raise dragons, can naturally raise native Arrakis sandworms.

Of course, the dozen or so large sandworms currently on the Far Country Planet are now being slaughtered by other "worms" to eat their flesh and expand their gene pool, so this is not important.

All in all, even the food for sandworms is scarce food for the predators.

"The things on the Lion's Den Fortress are more valuable. Once they are taken down, we can dismantle as many as we can."

The troll and the bearded demon exchanged glances again, and the latter said: "I will try my best to restore the fortress. Only such jewelry is worthy of your crown. It would be a pity to completely destroy it."

Well, no matter which race you belong to, if you become a prominent figure, you must have high emotional intelligence. The female Khan immediately became happy: "Thank you for your kindness... but you can't force anything."

She paused, then showed a little sadness, and sighed: "You two are not willing to go with me after all!"

"Your strategy is a stroke of genius, but it is indeed a gamble!" The long-bearded demon warlord twitched the barb-like tentacles on his face and said helplessly.

"We are willing to fight for you, but there must always be someone left to guard the home." The troll also said.

"Indeed, I am too radical." The female Khan did not continue to persuade, looking like she was accepting advice humbly: "Then, the defense of the Silver Center will be left to you."

When the communication was about to be cut off, she added: "Besides, don't blame me for being verbose. Again, the Lion's Den Fortress can be defended. If you really can't defend it, return to the Galactic Center with the loot. Our operation It’s successful.”

"I understand," the Troll General said.

"You are mature and prudent and care for the soldiers. How can you say that you are verbose." The long-bearded demon general said.

Thus, the military discussion ended. The conclusion reached is that the Elorian fleet will all leave, leaving this frontier system built with a lot of money by the empire to the Myshandar trolls and the long-bearded monsters.

Of course, just like three women often have four groups, as soon as the military discussion here ended, the troll on the Far Country planet connected with the long-bearded demon on the battleship.

"A verbose woman, but she still knows the current affairs." said the troll.

"She is a smart person. This big hunt is also in line with the times and people's hearts." The long-bearded demon said: "It's a pity that the Elo people are all lunatics at heart and can only do that kind of work."

"If she succeeds, she will be a great person." The troll said angrily.

"If you are envious, you can risk your life to follow her! There are still many tribes among you Maishanda people who follow her on adventures." The long-bearded demon said.

"At my age, what risks should I take? No matter how bad the environment in the center of the galaxy is, it is still our doghouse! On the other side, if she can really succeed, then she is really not a big khan, but can think The human Chenxi family started the dynasty and proclaimed themselves emperor like that! At my age, I can bend my knees."

"Hahaha, if our ancestors could bend their knees, they wouldn't be reduced to chewing sand in the center of the Milky Way." The long-bearded man said, "However, if we can defend this Lion's Den Fortress, we will take the initiative. That’s right. From now on, the empire’s territory will be accessible to you as you please, and you can leave as you please?”

The Troll General and the Bearded Man General laughed together. At this moment, the two marauder warlord leaders showed joyful and imaginative expressions, as if they had picked up all the free platinum VIP annual passes in Bathing City.
