Star Survival: The Rise of the Fourth Scourge

Listening to the exchanges between the captains on the fleet channel, Rex was speechless.

The losses are indeed great.

If you include the drone that was damaged in the battle with unknown forces three days ago.

The total number of destroyed "Elf" drones has reached more than one hundred.

You must know that the number of drones in the entire fleet is only more than 300.

Before the war really started, one-third of the drones were lost.

Rex knew very well that the "Free Democratic Federation" was taking the drone route.

Without drones, Tristan-class frigates and Argus-class destroyers are useless.

The only weapons on board are a few large-caliber rapid-fire cannons.

Although it is more powerful than a drone, its range is relatively short and it has no ability to engage enemy warships.

The hull armor is not only pitifully thin, but the shield strength is also not high.

These two warships are only suitable as a drone take-off and landing platform and used as a mobile hangar.

"Fleet Commander, when will the logistics fleet arrive?"

"It's still early, it will take at least half a month. The news that the advance fleet encountered unknown human forces on Earth in the S-01919 star system has been sent back to the Council of Thirteen. They will not turn a blind eye. Our current task is to wait before the logistics fleet arrives. Find a safe route to a habitable planet. Once found, once the logistics fleet arrives, we can launch an attack on the enemy in the shortest possible time.”

"Fleet Commander, will there be a support fleet? Although the size of the advance fleet is not small, the opponent is not good at fighting. I am afraid it will be difficult for us to easily defeat the enemy now."

"I don't know. There is no reply from the Thirteenth Council yet. Just wait, we have enough time."

EVE has super-light communication technology and uses the principle of quantum entanglement.

Although it cannot transmit too much information, such as large amounts of data transmission and the like.

But some simple information can be transmitted efficiently with almost zero delay.

Once the information is sent here, the Council of Thirteen will get the news.

Yes, they have enough time.

Their original bodies were destroyed long ago, and the current clones are just carriers of consciousness.

And in the "Wings of Freedom" space station, each of them has several clones.

Even if the body dies, the consciousness will be uploaded to the new clone.

They are immortal, and even more so eternal, a little time doesn't matter at all.

At the same time, deep in the distant starry sky...

S-01931 star system, "Wings of Freedom" space station.

As the headquarters of the "Federation of Free Democracies", the "Freedom Wings" space station is located in the orbit of the "Liberty Star".

Today, a message from the advance fleet brought thirteen members together.

The news was received by Parliament three days ago.

But the meeting was held three days later.

In a conference hall, there is a huge round table.

There are thirteen metal chairs around the round table.

There was no one on the seats, only thirteen stereoscopic projection images.

Although it is very real and the face can be seen clearly, the blue light is still obvious.

"The advance fleet encountered an unknown human force on Earth that possesses the template of the Warhammer 40K Human Empire in the S-01919 star system. The Parliament has already received this news. Don't you have anything to say?"

In the main position, Elro's tone contained a hint of anger.

After receiving the news from the advance fleet, he had called a meeting of the parliamentarians.

Someone always makes excuses to refuse, and the meeting has to be postponed.

It took three days for Elro to invite every congressman to the conference table.

"President of the Parliament, you are solely responsible for matters related to the S-01919 star system. I am afraid it is not convenient for us to intervene."

"It's such a good place, but the Speaker doesn't want us to interfere, right?"

"It's just a small human force. Why can't the parliament president solve this trouble?"

As soon as Elro finished speaking, a series of strange voices followed.

This made Elro frown slightly and said in a deep voice: "You don't know the importance of the S-01919 star system. It not only has a livable planet, but also a rich ore area with rare minerals. I am here for" Liberal Democratic Federation "for profit, not for my own benefit."

"President of the Parliament, please don't say any polite words. The thirteen of us have a deep understanding of each other. Besides, the game of thrones was not designed by us, but by you. If you want us to intervene, just come up with something practical. Otherwise, everyone will still do their own thing, and we won’t compete with you, so don’t think that we will help you. I don’t think anyone will object.”

"Of course, the "Wings of Freedom" space station belongs to everyone. The position of the parliament president depends on the development of personal power. If the parliament president wants to develop his own power, we cannot let our efforts go in vain. Otherwise, the position of the parliament president will not be known when. It’s our turn.”

Listen to the words of the congressmen that cannot be separated from the word "interest".

Elro sighed helplessly.

The reason why he designed such a rule for climbing to the highest power was in the first place.

First, in order to limit the power of the Speaker of Parliament, the future of the "Liberal Democratic Federation" cannot be placed in the hands of one person.

He cannot be the Speaker of Parliament for the rest of his life.

Because they are immortal earth humans.

The second is to arouse the enterprising spirit of legislators and give them a direction to climb to the pinnacle of power.

But he never expected that the Thirteen-person Council would lose the most important thing due to their respective competing interests.

That is unity.

Even if there are foreign enemies, congressmen still put their own interests first.

Was he wrong?

Maybe, but even if it is wrong, it can only continue to be wrong.

The thirteen-member parliamentary system has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and now reform will only fragment the "liberal democratic federation".

As a last resort, Elro had to say: "As a star system with habitable planets, I never thought of occupying the S-01919 star system alone. How about we jointly develop the S-01919 star system?"

"President of the Parliament, you should have said this a long time ago. Otherwise, the atmosphere of this meeting would be much more relaxed."

"That's right, good things should be shared by everyone. You won't be popular if you eat alone."

"Haha, I knew the Speaker was not that kind of person..."

"Then what should we do now? Assemble the fleet to support the advance fleet?"

The sound stopped suddenly, and everyone looked at Elro.

Facing everyone's gaze, Elro said expressionlessly: "You each select a captain to go to the location of the advance fleet, join the advance fleet and accept the command of Commander Captain Rex. Don't assemble the logistics fleet and go directly to the advance fleet. Just where the fleet is.”

At this point, Elro paused for a moment, then continued: "If we want to capture the S-01919 star system without any risk, we must be fully prepared. The enemy we face this time should not be simple, so don't hide it. , take out all the money."
