Chapter 365: The impoverished dark order
Caprino is a middle-level cadre of the Dark Clan. God knows how he became this middle-level cadre! Several years ago, he was just a squad leader of a raiding team. At most, he commanded more than a dozen small raiding ships to other galaxies to do some robbery business.
Raiding is a tradition of the Dark Clan, even within the Centaur Galaxy. If some civilizations are disobedient, then they will rob them first as a warning. If they are still disobedient, they will send a large army to encircle and suppress them.
Caprino was originally just the leader of a small pirate gang in the Centaur Galaxy, but later he was incorporated into the plundering team of the Dark Clan. For Caprino, becoming a well-organized interstellar pirate has always been his dream. Especially being incorporated by the Dark Clan is his ultimate dream.
It’s great to enjoy the coolness with the big tree on his back. Caprino was very happy in the first ten years since he was incorporated, because he finally had a big backer. Even if he was blatantly robbing, would he have any? Does anyone dare to provoke the Dark Clan?! Does anyone dare to provoke Lord Thanos?!
Although Caprino did not have any promotion in the first ten years of joining the Dark Cult, he was still very happy. Because his life was comfortable! Until an accident four years ago, he was quickly promoted to the commander of a small fleet.
A small fleet is different from its own dozens of small plundering ships. Because a small fleet has clear division of labor and each attack point is equipped with suitable ships, it is impossible for the same number of plundering ships to defeat a regular fleet.
Originally this was a good thing, proving that Caprino was recruited from a straitor to a regular army, which was a major leap in status! Originally, Caprino was very happy. He took over the fleet with his old brothers arrogantly. He remembered the proverb circulating in the Centaur Galaxy that the ore of Hipporia will always shine! This is what he is talking about!
But after taking office, Caprino realized that he thought everything was too simple...
Because in the third month after he took office, a huge rebellion broke out in his jurisdiction. Five planets rebelled together, and hundreds of warships galloped in the star field. His small fleets fought to intercept snipers, but they were still unable to be opponents.
In desperation, Cabrino asked for help from the Dark Cult headquarters. He didn't want to do this. Because if he asked for help, he would prove that he was incompetent, and that would have been lost as soon as he got the position. But than losing the position, Cabrino was more afraid that he would be executed by Lord Thanos after losing this territory.
So he still asked for help, but his expectations for help were completely different from what he thought. The Dark Cult Headquarters only sent a receipt to "Solve it yourself!"
Damn it yourself! If I can solve it myself, what should I ask for help?! Does Lord Thanos want this star field anymore? There are rich Hipporian ores here, which are very precious!
Caprino led his fleet to support it, but without support, he lost this star field within two months, and the fleet's personnel were also lost by nearly one-fifth. Originally, he thought that he was dead, would he run away?!
But the Dark Cult later actually sent a message
"Change the station to the a03 star field to rest."
Caprino???!!!
Is this really the style of the Dark Clan? Are they very strict? Didn’t they say that they will die if they make mistakes? How could they still be the commander of this small fleet and lead the team to rest?!
After that, Caprino felt that the days began to feel sad day by day.
Because the backyard of the Dark Order of the Centaur Galaxy turret broke out.
Because Thanos has always drawn heavy taxes on the civilizations of the Centaur Galaxy, when these civilizations found that they could take advantage of the opportunity, everyone rose up one after another.
Some civilizations in the Centaur Galaxy have formed a 180-root coalition, which is about to overthrow Thanos and the Dark Clan.
Now Caprino is standing in the command cabin of the fleet flagship. He is unkempt and his space suit is dirty. He is even darker than his black skin, and he can no longer see the originally beautiful sky blue. Moreover, there are obvious signs of wear on the cuffs and ankles.
"It's a bit cold inside the spacecraft, turn the temperature up a little." Caprino gave orders to Leoda, the adjutant on his spacecraft. Because it's really cold inside the spacecraft now, it feels like it's about minus fifteen degrees. This temperature makes people unable to stretch out their hands.
But Leodard said with a bitter face.
"The survival system of our spacecraft has been broken, and it is now the limit to keep it at minus fifteen degrees and not freeze to death."
"Why hasn't been fixed yet?!" Caprino was a little angry.
"Captain, have you forgotten how long it took for us to not have supplies?! Since the last rebellion in the Alpha Star Domain, we have not received supplies for half a year!" Leodard was not only an adjutant, but also managed the fleet's logistics. He complained with great dissatisfaction.
"A full half a year!"
"If we hadn't found some scrap from the wreckage of those enemy ships to repair the ships, our ship would have been done. And even if the survival system was repaired, we wouldn't have spent all our power on heating. We would have left more power reserves. It was three months ago since the last time we replenished energy. We have been fighting for the past three months, and our energy reserves are less than half."
Facing the complaints of his adjutant, Caprino could only grit his teeth and said, "Wait a minute, we can go to the next supply point soon. Can't we go and rest for a while?" Caprino looked at the crew in his cabin. Most of them looked listless. It seemed that the morale had been exhausted.
Yes! Anyone who has experienced such a long war and can maintain morale after the fleet has fought from fifty ships at the beginning to only thirteen ships left. The key is that there is no follow-up supplement and no new recruits joining. Without fresh blood, it is already amazing that the fleet can maintain its strength.
