Voyage of the Stars

The kobolds understand very well that the light curtain that lights up must be a polarization shield that can defend against energy weapons, but the human lake-class battleship is still a creation of the second-level civilization and is too small to be equipped with a polarization shield. .

Of course, if the armor of the Lake-class battleships used by the Kobolds were made of No. 1 alloy, it would definitely be much better. At least a battleship would not be taken away by an energy cannon, but it was not the case.

As a result, a one-sided battle emerged.

The interstellar pirates do not need to make progress with the kobold fleet at all. They can easily destroy them by using energy weapons to attack them in the distant starry sky.

With the polarization shield technology alone, the third-level civilization is enough to crush the second-level civilization, not to mention other applications such as gray goo storm, nano-repair and other technologies.

With this technology, even if they use electromagnetic railguns to fight at close range, interstellar pirate warships can crush kobold warships.

A group of interstellar pirates rushed out of nowhere, leaving the kobold fleet with no way to escape. Resistance was in vain to delay death.

In this case, the kobold commander shouted angrily at the interstellar pirate.

"Why, we obviously didn't get anything of value from the interstellar trading market, why are you attacking us! Damn it, you will be punished!"

His roar received no response.

By this time, the kobold commander also understood that this fleet must be interstellar pirates, and it is likely to be related to the interstellar trading market.

As intelligent beings and after years of training by humans, kobolds are not stupid either. They quickly figured out the connection.

They felt something strange when they left the interstellar trading market before, and now they finally understand what is strange.

The sea of ​​​​stars is vast, and even if a bright tail flame is produced when accelerating, it is absolutely impossible to encounter a pirate civilization just after leaving the interstellar trading market, let alone such a head-on collision during the voyage.

It was as if the kobold fleet's route had been accurately calculated.

As for the people who know the route of the kobold fleet, apart from the Kuntai people, they are the interstellar trading market. Excluding the Kuntai people who are also human subordinates, you are left with the interstellar trading market.

So the so-called interstellar trading market may be this interstellar pirate pretending to be one. Or conversely, this interstellar pirate is a force that belongs to the interstellar trading market.

This force attracts other civilizations by pretending to be an interstellar trading market, and then attacks and plunders other civilizations.

But why?

The kobold couldn't figure it out. With the strength of the interstellar trading market, he could easily wipe out his own fleet while he was still within the range of his market's star system. However, he didn't know why he didn't take action in the first place. Instead, he allowed himself to complete the transaction before letting the pirates Attack yourself.

Thinking of this, the kobold commander felt that there is a possible relationship between the interstellar trading market and interstellar pirates. They are not who belong to each other, but two cooperating forces or two civilizations that cooperate in this way.

The kobold commander felt that this explanation was more suitable for the situation he was encountering now.

But although the reasoning is very simple, even if the reasoning is correct, the kobold still doesn't know what to do. Especially when he saw his own warships being destroyed one by one by the opponent's bursts of fire, the kobold commander seemed even more anxious.

"Commander, please give the order quickly. Even if our entire army is annihilated, we cannot let the battleship fall into the hands of interstellar pirates!" On the fleet flagship, a kobold with yellow hair all over his body opened his mouth and said.

As he spoke, his tail could not help but sway.

Another kobold with a similar appearance also said: "Yes, Commander, our lives are given by the main civilization. Now it is time for us to dedicate ourselves to repay the main civilization."

"Commander, give the order. The main civilization has a saying: 'Don't hesitate, hesitation will lead to defeat.' The remaining 2,300 warships are waiting for your order."

"Of course I know!" The kobold commander stopped wagging his tail subconsciously, and his expression changed slightly, which made his appearance less funny.

"Pass my order. The entire fleet will set up a broadcast array for me at any cost. We must transmit everything here, including our guesses, to the Kuntai fleet closest to us."

The kobold commander, who was firmly fixed on the seat by the cushioned seat, looked at the kobold next to him, and then said: "In addition, the 100th to 200th ships were immediately divided into ten echelons, from top to bottom, left, right, and front. direction to break out and escape, telling them that their mission is to deliver the life potion samples carried by their respective echelons to the main civilization."

Humans once taught kobolds not to put 'Rodo beast' eggs in the same basket.

The Rodo is an oviparous reptile in the kobold biosphere. The eggs it lays are particularly delicious, and the kobolds often tame them, just like humans raising chickens to eat eggs.

The kobold commander remembered this education, so after obtaining the life potion in the transaction, he divided the 100,000 life potions into ten parts and placed them on ten battleships respectively.

At this moment, the kobold commander is looking forward to praying that these ten breakout columns will definitely escape. Even if only one column escapes, the host civilization will be able to obtain at least 10,000 life potions with five thousand years of efficacy.

That way, even if he dies in this sea of ​​stars, he can rest in peace.

However, after all, the kobold commander thought too much, or all the kobolds underestimated the power of the third-level civilized warship.

Faced with the strategy of ten columns to escape separately, the interstellar pirates only divided ten groups of battleships from their large fleet, and each group of battleships only had three ships. Just like that, relying on the advantages of acceleration and maximum speed, they quickly crossed the dark starry sky, arrived in front of the breakout column, and stopped them all.

Facing the kobold fleet's broadcast array regardless of casualties, the other interstellar pirate warships began to practice target shooting, destroying the kobold warships one after another from a distance.

on the other hand.

A certain interstellar pirate battleship sent a message that only they could understand.

"Commander, it's almost done. If we keep fighting, all the warships of this low-level civilization will be destroyed. We have to keep a few ships, otherwise it will be difficult to find information about their home planet from their computers. ”

"Haha, yes, yes. Let me tell you guys that the harvest time has come. Let their ships pay attention and take it easy when dispatching nanobots. Don't eat up the central computer too! After this wave, our civilization We want to make a lot of money again, hahaha, the resources of a living planet, we are definitely making a lot of money this time! This is a resource that even fifth-level civilizations covet. After studying it for a while, it can be resold to other civilizations. Absolutely not deficit."

"Yes, Commander-in-Chief, having the resources of another living planet can also greatly improve the progress of our civilization's research on life. According to scientific researchers, it is not impossible to develop a life potion that lasts for ten thousand years."
