The Age of Giant Ships and Cannons

This is the main reason why these powerful civilizations of the Perseus Arm can maintain a balance for thousands of years, check and balance each other.

Even the Kelzacca Star Sea Empire didn't even expand the empty Second Tianjin star field. Except that this star field is a bit barren and there are few living planets, the main thing is to leave a buffer zone.

Like before, the one who supported the Shata civilization was only the individual behavior of a star sea lord within the Kelzaka Star Sea Empire. The main purpose was not to do anything to humans, but to support a civilization in the south of humans as a buffer, and if Really want to attack the bridgehead of mankind.

Although this move will pose a huge threat to the safety of human civilization, the original intention of the people is indeed like this. It is unlikely that they want to use the Shata civilization and Bruwan to jointly besiege human beings, which will not do them any good.

The beacon has adjusted its angle here, pointing directly at the diagonal direction of the Milky Way disk, it seems that it is not going to the center of the Milky Way.

The frigate adjusted its direction, and a long-distance leap spanned more than 2,000 light years, leaving the Kelzacca Star Sea Empire and entering another powerful civilization.

As soon as he entered its territory, Li Qing's expression changed before he could gain a firm foothold.

The moment he jumped over, he sensed an extremely powerful will sweep over him on the spot, leaving behind a malicious signal and marking himself.

"Fuck, what is this?"

That will is so powerful, it is definitely an immortal-level will, and it is not a general immortal-level will, even among immortals, it is an extremely powerful level.

Fortunately, the distance may be too far, the malicious will seems to be just a routine patrol, leaving a mark on him and disappearing.

But how could Li Qing dare to stay here any longer. As soon as the engine of the battleship cooled down, he immediately ordered the battleship to start jumping away from this star field.

However, just after the second leap was over, and before he had time to look around, he sensed a terrifying will that made his heart skip a beat. Everything in front of him became distorted and illusory. Come.

Li Qing gave a strange cry, and the huge restrained psychic energy exploded, and the frigate was shattered on the spot, and a circle of golden flames spread around him, blooming like a golden flower in the cold starry sky.

Compared with eight years ago, the psychic power that was several times stronger rejected the terrifying will and the distorted phantom on the spot. Li Qing didn't have a clear understanding of what happened just now. Road jump back.

He didn't dare to go any further. The comparison of the strength of the two sensed terrifying wills showed that if he went any further, he might have plunged directly into the lair of some horrible monster.

After jumping twice in a row, he returned to the border of Kaierzaka Star Sea Empire.

"Huh! What is it?"

Li Qing let out a long breath, his mind was full of the horrible phantom of will just now.

"Is the center of the galaxy so scary?"

Just when I came in, I encountered this kind of terrifying big guy. If this thing goes to the hinterland of the United Empire of Mankind, it is afraid that it can kill the population of a planet in minutes.

After being silent for a while, Li Qing took out a frigate again, and then changed his appearance to that of the Zhaka people, the main species of the Kaier Zhaka Star Sea Empire, before continuing southward.

But this time there is no long-distance transition, but a short-distance transition. He is going to find the northern border of the Kelzacca Star Sea Empire first, mix into the Kelzacca Star Sea Empire, and collect some information first, including the most important galaxy silver panel star map.

The silver panel area is too dangerous, there are such horrible monsters, if you don't find a star map, you will run to some super dangerous place if you are not careful.

After several jumps, Li Qing sensed that he had crossed the border, and then moved east along the border to start a mid-range jump.

He didn't know where there was the border fortress galaxy of the Kelzacca Star Sea Empire, but he knew that going east, there would definitely be a border fortress at the junction of the Kelzacca Star Sea Empire and the other two civilizations, just find it there.

He jumped over a dozen times in one breath, with a total distance of more than 5,000 light-years. During the last jump, Li Qing clearly felt that he had touched an interception system with significantly different strengths during the jump, and immediately stopped and returned.

Just one jump appeared in an unknown galaxy, and the battleship received an unknown communication all over the galaxy.

The communication he received was a mixed signal from Kaier Zhaka Xinghai Empire and several unknown civilizations. Li Qing's warship had the language of Kaier Zhaka Xinghai Empire civilization, which was directly translated, and the content surprised him greatly.

"This is the Joint Fortress of the Pan-Galaxy Defense Alliance. It is an absolutely neutral star field. Visitors from any order camp are welcome. If you need it, please go to the United Fortress galaxy."

The communication contained a star map of a small area. Li Qing imported the star map into his own star map, and found that he was located in the Kelzacca Star Sea Empire, another monarchy called the Holy Gift Besate, and a group called Sarnoor devouring cluster the crossroads of civilizations.

Li Qing noticed that the two civilizations on the star map, the Kaier Zaka Xinghai Empire and the Besat Monarchy, are green, while the civilization called the Sarnoor Devouring Cluster is blood red. According to the usual practice Look, this means that the first two civilizations are allies and teammates, and the blood color obviously represents hostility.

"Sarnool devours the cluster?"

Seeing the name of this civilization, Li Qing had a bad feeling in his heart.

The cluster represents a hive civilization, which is a unique civilization in the universe.

Generally speaking, this kind of civilization is governed by a super-powerful will, or in other words, all individuals in the entire civilization are actually extensions of the thinking and will of that ruler.

Although it seems that the entire civilization is composed of countless individuals, these individuals have no independent will, and are all extensions of the will of the only ruler of the entire civilization.

To put it bluntly, it is the model that one person is civilization.

Civilizations like this are rare in the universe, but not without them.

The devouring bee colony is a branch of the bee colony civilization and one of the three extinct civilizations in the universe.

Swarm Devourer, Ironheart Exterminator, Zealous Purifier.

The master of this bee colony civilization thinks that everything in the entire universe is his own food, delusional to swallow everything in the entire universe, so this civilization will frantically attack any living species in sight, whether it is organic or other special species, Any civilization that is captured will be wiped out.

This kind of civilization, which can be called the natural enemy of creatures, is comparable to natural disasters for other civilizations. Every time one appears, it will cause turmoil and disaster in the galaxy.

Obviously, the two civilizations of the Kelzacca Star Sea Empire and the Besat Monarchy are united to deal with this devouring bee swarm civilization called the Sarnoor Devouring Swarm.

The United Fortress is a super-fortress galaxy group comparable to the three core fortresses of human beings. It is jointly supported by two nearby civilizations, but it does not exclude other civilizations.

When Li Qing came over, he had already returned to his human form. He applied to the United Fortress for a nearby star map and was not troubled. Moreover, because of his human identity, he even introduced him to a place where humans gathered.

Although the vast majority of human beings are mixed in the Perseus Arm, and most players are unable to cross the border of the Kelzacca Star Sea Empire, but there are so many human beings, there are always some with special abilities, or wandering away due to unexpected circumstances. Come here, hang out near this United Fortress galaxy group.

There are very few people, so it is natural to hug a group to keep warm.

According to the location, Li Qing came to a subsidiary galaxy numbered 015 behind the United Fortress. This is a battle galaxy located five jumps behind the main United Fortress galaxy. It is part of the second defense system of the United Fortress. There are star cities everywhere in the galaxy, and some Transformed fortress planet.

The so-called secondary defense system means that if the main joint fortress at a key intersection is breached, there will be a second line of defense behind it to resist the buffer and buy time for the alliance to mobilize the main fleet to recapture the main fortress.

Li Qing did not go to the main core fortress, because the main core fortress is currently in a war. According to the information we know, the war between the alliance and the Sarnoor swallowing cluster has never stopped, and the two sides have spent an unknown number of years. stop.

The frigate entered the center of the subsidiary galaxy No. 015 and stopped near a star city. He turned on the communication and initiated an application to one of the communication.

It took only five or six seconds for the person to respond, and the light curtain popped open to reveal a pretty woman. Seeing Li Qing, she froze for a moment, and wondered:

"Brother, are you new here?"

Li Qing asked:

"how do you know?"

She replied with a smile:

"Because I know all the human players in this star field."

Li Qing said with a smile:

"Then you guessed right, I am indeed new here."

"Welcome, welcome, by the way, where did you come from?"

"It's from the Empire headquarters."

"Oh, that's even more strange, where are you?"

"here."

Li Qing sent her current coordinates, and soon she replied:

"Wait a minute, I'll pick you up."

"Row."

Then the two added friends first, and after exchanging names, they closed the communication. Less than ten minutes later, the battleship received a communication. After connecting, they saw a frigate flying over from another star city more than a thousand kilometers away, flashing Follow the signal, and at the same time receive a message from Chu Miaoying asking him to follow.

"follow me."

Li Qing set the warship to follow mode and flew to the neighboring Star City, and stopped at the Star City berth.

Coming out of the battleship, I saw a tall human beauty wearing a light green military uniform among the many alien races coming and going outside the berth. She also saw Li Qing, and immediately stretched out her hand to greet him. waved.

He also beckoned, shook hands lightly, and introduced himself:

"Li Qing!"

"Chu Miaoying is the full-time secretary of the Human Chamber of Commerce of the United Fortress. She is responsible for receiving the new compatriots. She mainly explains the situation of the United Fortress and provides some help."

"Come on, this is not a place to talk, let's go to the headquarters of the chamber of commerce and talk about it in detail."

Li Qing took a look at the various alien races that came and went. Apart from the Zaka people who are the main body of the Kerzhaka Star Sea Empire, there are many other races. You can see four or five different races at a glance.

"Okay, let's talk as we walk."

Chu Miaoying beckoned, and a miniature unmanned aerial vehicle with a strange shape flew over silently. The two got on the car, and the aircraft flew forward silently.

Chu Miaoying called out the aircraft control light curtain, tapped it with slender fingers a few times to close the light curtain, and said to him with a smile:

"I will transfer our star map to you first."

"Thanks."

This is not polite, this is what Li Qing needs most.

Although I got the star map given by the United Fortress just now, it is only a basic star map, only the general situation of the nearby star fields, and there will definitely not be more detailed content.

What the Human Chamber of Commerce gives may not be the best, but it will definitely be more detailed and have a larger scope.

Soon after receiving the star map from her and importing it into his own star map, Li Qing saw that the star map displayed on the transparent light curtain in front of him suddenly expanded dozens of times.

The original range was only about 300 light-years, but now it has suddenly jumped to thousands of light-years, and a large star field at the junction of the entire Perseus spiral arm and the central galactic disk of the Milky Way is included, and the content is more detailed.

Just glanced at the star map, he was attracted by the huge blood-colored map in the center of the star map, looked up in surprise, Chu Miaoying knew what he wanted to ask, and said directly:

"This is the Sarnoo devouring swarm, a huge devouring bee swarm civilization, which is at war with a powerful alliance of more than two dozen fifth-level civilizations of various sizes, including the Kelzacca Star Sea Empire."

"hiss!"

Li Qing took a breath:

"Twenty or so fifth-level civilizations? So strong?"

Chu Miaoying nodded:

"Yes, more than two dozen fifth-level civilizations."

"But don't be too shocked. Not all of these twenty-odd five-level civilizations are very strong. Only four or five can stand shoulder to shoulder with humans, including the Kelzaka Star Sea Empire. None of the other five-level civilizations is as strong as humans."

"But it's also very powerful."

"It's really amazing."

"How long has this war between the Alliance and Sarnor devouring clusters lasted? Which side has the upper hand?"

Chu Miaoying shook her head and said:

"I don't know, the United Fortress was established before the arrival of the earliest predecessors here. At that time, the war between the Alliance and the Sarnoor Bee Swarm had been going on for an unknown number of centuries. From that time until now, the war has never Not even for a moment."

Li Qing

At this moment, he completely understood why the Kelzhaka Star Sea Empire had never gone north, never sent a fleet to the Tianjin Star Field, and it turned out that they still had such a big enemy.

He even guessed that the former star sea lord of Kelzaka Star Sea Empire did not necessarily want to cause trouble by supporting the Shata civilization, but most likely received a vassal to provide him with war resources.

The war lasted for an unknown number of tens of thousands of years, even if the strength and territory of the Kelzhaka Star Sea Empire were not inferior to the United Empire of Mankind, it would be difficult enough.

No wonder the United Fortress does not exclude any civilization, it really cannot.

"By the way, do you want to come here to develop, or are you just passing by?"

Chu Miaoying said seriously:

"If it's just passing by, we can provide some intelligence support."
