Traveling through the infinite wasteland

However, Gilad's situation is even worse than theirs! Those new ships are better. The old warships have to defend themselves against attacks after a long period of frequent maneuvers! The energy systems of many battleships are already overwhelmed! However, they cannot relax at all! Because the opponent's attack is too sharp, I don't think it's enough to even take a breath!

Another salvo was fired from the opponent's camp, and tens of thousands of death beams pierced the cold universe and poured in, knocking more than three hundred warships into the air and exploding!

Then, under the precise planning of the commander, the opponent's fleet seemed to have the foresight to avoid another round of counterattacks from its own side! Then continue looking for the next suitable opportunity to attack.

After spending nearly an hour like this, Gilad was so depressed that he almost vomited blood! His fleet had shrunk by more than half under the opponent's almost horrifyingly precise attack, and now it could barely remain at the level of 3,000 ships. But the other party's casualties were much less than his own! The numbers of both sides are almost equal!

"Commander, this is not a good idea!" Liu Jingan frowned.

"Do you have any ideas?" Gilad asked without looking up.

"Aren't there still 8,000 awakened ones on the battleship I'm waiting for? Let Raffarin lead the attack, as well as the mecha army, and let them all go away for a while!" Liu Jingan said, "Can it be reversed? The situation of the battle depends on them!"

"Okay! Just do as you say!"

From a group of elite battleships approaching the flagship, thousands of awakened beings ejected one after another. The leader was a brown-haired middle-aged man. He was Gilad's sworn brother and the deputy commander of the Meerkat Star Thief Group. Flan, the strong one from Qianxing.

The level of this batch of awakened ones seems to be better than that of the batch they faced that time! At least the equipment is complete, although they are all ordinary equipment. Among them, there are more than 300 eight-star and nine-star experts, and that Qianxing is holding a five-star sword in his hand!

"The people I'm waiting for should also attack!" Ye Qingyuan said calmly, "But for those guys who have a little bit of fighting ability, I will take care of them myself!"

"Get rid of these guys as soon as possible so that we can take over the territory! We don't have much time left!"

The order was quickly implemented, and batches of awakened beings were continuously sent into space through the ejection system on the belly of the battleship. Then the micro-propulsion system on the mech was activated, and under their flexible control, they flew towards the enemy.

Raffarin waved his sword and was about to order an attack when his eyes were dazzled. A handsome young man with dark eyes and black hair appeared very close to him at an unknown moment!

"You are..." Raffarin's pupils suddenly shrank, and a deep chill rushed from the soles of his feet to his forehead!

Being able to appear in front of him so silently without being discovered by him only shows that the other party has the combat power to travel through the universe! And this is a power only possessed by at least twelve-star level experts!

This young man seems to be much younger than his age. Why does he have such terrifying fighting power?

Ye Qingyuan smiled slightly, raised his hand, and dozens of two-meter-long snowy light blades shot out, but they were not aimed at him, but at the large group of awakened ones behind him!

In the blink of an eye, thirty-two high-star awakened people were decapitated by the light blade without any resistance!

"How?" he asked lightly.

Raffarin's expression changed wildly. Such a fierce offensive and precise energy control skills were far beyond his understanding!

Although he is a Qianxing, he is not sure that he can deal with the siege of more than thirty eight-star and nine-star awakened people at the same time and kill them without any damage!

"I surrender!" He said simply without hesitation.

"Oh?" He was a little surprised, he didn't expect the other party to be so single! Will you give in after being persuaded?

Raffarin gave a bitter smile and said, "When I meet a person like you, do I have any other choice?"

"Young strong man, you win! I will order my people to put down their weapons! And, I will persuade the commander I am waiting for to surrender!"

"Very good! Tell him immediately!" Ye Qingyuan said.

In just a short while, the awakened people on both sides had exchanged fire, and nearly a thousand people on Gilad's side were killed!

Raffarin ordered his subordinates to put down their weapons, and then used public channels to explain the reason to Gilad.

"A strong man of at least twelve stars?" Gilad was silent after hearing the news!

He was originally angry at Raffarin for making his own decisions, but now, he finally knows how powerful the other party is! A 12-star or even higher-level expert, with good equipment and support, can defeat his motley fleet by himself! Just spend more time and energy!

The other party is willing to play with him like this now, maybe because he has the intention of training his troops, otherwise, even if he has ten lives, he won't be able to die!

What should be done? He looked back at Liu Jingan, who twitched the corners of his eyes wordlessly. In the face of absolute combat power, no matter how clever the strategy is, it is meaningless!

"Okay! Inform the other party that we are... willing to surrender!" With a heavy sigh, he finally made this difficult decision!

The surviving battleships followed the opponent's orders and shut down all weapon systems, and all propulsion systems were locked! Soon, a group of Awakeners from the other side came over and took away a group of senior officials from the flagship, including Gilad.

At this point, the most important battle in the Shengyuan Star Territory is over! The senior leaders of the Meerkat Star Thief Group surrendered collectively, and captured more than 2,000 perfectly fine warships, as well as more than 5,000 awakened ones!

There are still some forces left behind in Gilad's territory, as well as a large number of weapons and ammunition, and now they have become the spoils of Ye Qingyuan and the others!

This ultimate force has been captured, and the remaining five small forces combined are not much stronger than Gilad! Separating and settling down is a matter of course!

"Are you convinced that we are now in this situation?" Ye Qingyuan asked him while tasting the century-old red wine that the other party had collected in the luxurious villa originally owned by Gilad on Jinxia Star.

The gray-faced Gilad breathed out and said dullly: "My fighting ability is not as good as others, so what if I don't accept it?"

"It's just that I don't know. With your fighting power, do you value my small fortune? No matter which big country you go to, you will be treated as a guest! But how come you come to such a poor place?"

In the previous conversation, he already knew that Ye Qingyuan and others really came from a big country outside, but had nothing to do with the officialdom. Just like the reason why he ran away back then, it was just to grab a piece of land and live a happy life!

He didn't doubt Ye Qingyuan's words. His life was currently in the other party's hands, and there was no need for the other party to deceive him!

"I've heard some things about you in the past! You're almost a pretty good guy!" Ye Qingyuan said with a smile. "That's why I decided to give you a chance to make atonement!"

"What do you want me to do?" he asked in a deep voice.

"It's very simple. Help us destroy the remaining five small forces! Then help stabilize the entire Shengyuan Star Territory! As long as this is done, you and your main subordinates can survive!"

"Of course, to be on the safe side, you will have to spend some time in confinement! Once we have established a foothold here, we will expand to other star fields! By then, you can join our fleet!"

"You don't need to be resentful. Following me is definitely much better than surrendering to that old ghost Kudler! As long as your future contributions are enough, then I can grant you the entire star field! Why, such a condition? , are you satisfied?" Ye Qingyuan finally asked.

Gilad perked up and said dubiously: "Are you sure of your words?"

"At this time, do I need to trick you?" Ye Qingyuan said with a smile, "Now is the starting point of the great cause, and I really need talents! If you are willing to work for me, I will naturally not treat you badly! In the future Founding the country, you are almost one of the founding fathers!”

"Very good! I hope you can remember your promise!" After thinking for a moment, Gilad finally agreed.

In the next two days, with Gilad leading the team, the remaining five small forces were easily put down!

At this point, the entire Shengyuan Star Territory has thirty-five ecological planets and tens of thousands of resource galaxies! Everything became Ye Qingyuan's territory!

At this time, it was only more than a month since they first arrived in this star field.

With the first basic land in place, the next step is comprehensive planning and careful management!

After checking all the properties on more than thirty planets, there were not many pleasant discoveries. )

Originally, these planets were developing quite well, but because the nine forces were fighting each other every day, the little wealth they finally accumulated were largely lost in the civil war, leaving him with not much left at all!

Although the Shengyuan Star Territory after he took over could not be said to be a mess, it was not far behind! It is estimated that to plan the entire star field and make it a stable rear base, it will require a lot of manpower and material resources!

More than thirty planets and nearly two billion people have now become their own people. While controlling their life and death, honor and disgrace, they must also bear the responsibility for their safety, happiness, food, clothing, housing and transportation accordingly! Powers and obligations have always been complementary to each other.

"Your Royal Highness, do you have any other suggestions for the strategic development plan of this star field?"

Gilad's luxurious villa is currently occupied by Ye Qingyuan. At this time, he was discussing some specific matters with Leng Zhuo in the study.

Wearing an elegant and fragrant pure White House dress, with a calm and elegant expression, Leng Zhuo, who was noble and charming, was half lying on a large couch, holding an exquisite tea cup in his slender hands, and said slowly: "The foundation of this star field is still Yes, there are some industries on every planet that are quite profitable! As long as they are properly integrated, their efficiency output can be doubled!"

"However, this is not enough! You are taking the path of expansion. The huge demand for various financial and material resources is difficult to fully meet in the current star field! What I can help you is to let these people support themselves. , otherwise I will become a burden to you!"

"If you want them to create benefits for you now, the huge upfront investment must be in place!"

Ye Qingyuan frowned in thought. She was right. After years of war in this star region, there really weren’t many viable pillar industries! The Ziyuan Blue Belts plundered the inventories of various forces, and even interrogated the private accounts of high-quality prisoners one by one. In the end, they obtained more than five billion crystal cores, various jewelry, antiques, and some rare resources. Overall, the harvest will not exceed 10 billion.

Compared to a star field, this amount of money is really not much! It can only be used to build a fleet of about 30,000 people, and the internal construction of the star field requires far more than this number!

After all, his time is tight, and he has to estimate that the development level of the Star Territory will reach an absolute height in a short period of time. There is no other way but to increase investment!

"Don't worry, I have money here!" Ye Qingyuan said with a smile, "I'll give you 50 billion crystal cores first. Just look at the flowers. If you don't have enough, come and ask me!"

Leng Zhuomei's eyes lit up, he lowered his head and quickly deduced for a while, and said: "No, no! With these 50 billion, many industries under planning can be laid out in advance. In this way, there will be more projects at the end of this year. As long as the income is nothing more than an accident, the road ahead will be much easier!"

Of course, she was only talking about legal industries. However, the main profit-making businesses of those forces in the past, such as arms, smuggling, drug trafficking, prostitution, gambling, gladiatorial games and the like are not included in the calculation!

Ye Qingyuan's ultimate goal is to establish the Yuan Dynasty and establish the country. These dark things must not be retained, at least not put on the table! However, we haven’t reached that point yet, so some things don’t have to be banned yet! After all, there are too many places to spend money right now!

In fact, there is another way to make money quickly, which is to rob, kill people and get goods! This is the main business of the Star Thief Group! The other is to control one or several waterways and collect protection fees from passing caravans! It is also a very profitable business.

Otherwise, it’s just a matter of conquering other star regions and supporting war with war!

The internal construction plan that Leng Zhuo personally drew up for him is perfect. As long as the investment is in place and the management is done properly, the economic level of the Shengyuan Star Territory will soon be raised to a higher level. In the future, more territory will be laid. This can also be done. Lay a solid backing for his great goal of dominating the Hell Soul Star Sea!

Immediately afterwards, Ye Qingyuan had a long conversation with her on a series of issues such as military aspects, foreign strategy, expansion steps, etc.

I have to admit that great wise men of the demigod level are indeed quite good at dealing with these things that consume brain cells! He has accurate and unique insights into many complex issues!

Leng Zhuo's specialty lies in military strategy deduction and battlefield situation control. He is actually not very good at internal affairs construction. However, he currently only has a territory in one star region. Find Shuyuan www. zhaoshuyuan.com It’s not difficult to deal with it!

Zhong Zixia's brother and sister are taking the route of focusing on administrative management and people's livelihood construction. In the future, they will only be able to take responsibility in this regard after they break through the Qianxing!

There are no other products in the Shengyuan Star Region, but there are quite a lot of mineral resources. Some of the more precious resources have absolute reserves here! Gilad and the others also mined in the past, but because the hardware facilities were too poor, the output was never large!

Leng Zhuo therefore suggested that in addition to expanding the scale of the original mineral bases and purchasing a full set of new equipment, he also selected fifty planets with considerable mineral veins for large-scale development!

There are also energy bases, new spaceports, and factories that produce various light weapons and ammunition! There are also industries related to the basic necessities, food, housing and transportation of ordinary people, which must be built one by one!

These industries can bring a lot of employment opportunities to local people. As long as they are done well, domestic demand will also expand! The economic level will naturally rise!

In addition, the commando team must build its own interstellar caravan to communicate with other star regions, and at the same time take into account the task of spying on intelligence. Naturally, Randall is responsible for this matter. (To be continued.)
