Chapter 377 The First Prince Was Attacked and Died
Zhao Chen immediately stopped the order to set off for the fleet expedition.
Put all star battleships on standby for the time being.
"What exactly is the situation? Do you have any detailed information?" Zhao Chen looked at Secretary Lilith seriously.
The crown prince of the Xingyao Empire, the eldest prince, was killed in battle.
This is no small matter!
Secretary Lilith said seriously: "I have sent people back to the Xiaolong Galaxy to inquire about the situation, but it seems that the news has not spread within the Star Glory Empire, at least among the people.
And there are only a few one-sided situations among the interstellar fleets that support the Starry Star Faction from the Reef Star Territory."
With that said, Secretary Lilith reported to Zhao Chen in detail the battle information that the T3 Silver Mouse-class light interstellar stealth reconnaissance ship had spied on.
After Zhao Chen listened, he roughly sorted it out.
Due to the withdrawal of the Machine Tribe, a huge unregulated galaxy was left vacant in the area where the three empires originally had a handover with the Machine Tribe.
After a short period of thinking, the three major empires could not resist the temptation, and each dispatched interstellar fleets to station in these galaxies.
Although people in the Xingyao Empire, headed by Governor Chu, believe that the withdrawal of the Machine Tribe is not an easy matter and should not be taken lightly.
But most people only look at the immediate benefits.
Even if there is really some trick in this, can you just watch those resource galaxies being snatched away by the other two empires?
Therefore, the Shining Star Empire also dispatched an interstellar fleet to launch related plans, and the imperial army on the border led by Governor Chu began to control those resource galaxies.
Moreover, the top officials of the Xingyao Empire also sent some people to assist Governor Chu.
What this so-called assistance actually means is that we can get an extra piece of this cake.
After all, there are so many extra galaxies all at once, and those are all resources!
Among them, there is also the Crown Prince!
The Crown Prince is the one who will become the King of the Star Empire in the future. How can he not participate in such a major event of expanding territory and making great achievements?
Then he brought his own royal fleet of three thousand ships and followed Governor Chu's imperial fleet to launch related military operations.
At the beginning, there was no conflict among the three imperial forces. After all, there were too many resource galaxies to control. Everyone only focused on taking over and arranging subsequent construction plans.
But soon, this balance was broken.
Because of the interests of this piece of cake, a 'collision' began to occur.
The galaxy territories controlled by the three empires are bordering each other, which will involve the issue of division.
At the beginning, everyone talked about peaceful resolution and common development.
But among the ten nobles of each group, there will always be a few who stand out and are not afraid of death for the sake of profit.
As a result, friction occurred and even a small-scale local war broke out.
At this time, it is impossible for any empire to openly show weakness. Wouldn't it be a slap in the face of its own empire?
As a result, the issue of allocation of the remaining galaxies has reached a deadlock.
Just three days ago.
The eldest prince suddenly led his own royal fleet and disappeared from his station. When he was discovered, it was already five hours ago when the imperial fleet under Governor Chu made daily contact with the eldest prince's royal fleet.
At this time, they found that they could not contact him and realized something was wrong.
The nearest interstellar fleet was immediately sent to check, and the Royal Fleet's station was discovered. Not a single interstellar battleship was seen.
The whereabouts of the eldest prince and his royal fleet are unknown?
This is quite serious news!
Governor Chu immediately issued an order to send out all interstellar reconnaissance ships to conduct reconnaissance patrols to look for traces of the royal fleet.
Finally, after five days of searching, they found relevant traces.
But that is a result that none of them want to see!
Zhao Chen looked at the only panoramic image in front of him. This was a cosmic star field. Because it was the edge space of the galaxy, there was no light originally.
But after several interstellar reconnaissance ships dropped flares, the star field was lit up.
This panoramic image was taken under such circumstances.
There are broken wreckage of star battleships everywhere, with torn hulls, bent star battleship gun barrels, and star destroyers that were blown into two halves.
You can even see some dead bodies.
The most horrifying scene is the wreckage of several huge interstellar battleships.ъìqυgΕtv.℃ǒΜ
There are four of them, and Zhao Chen is very familiar with them.
T4 Borei class heavy star battleship!
The originally majestic interstellar battleship was now reduced to a wreckage floating among the star fields, giving people a desolate feeling.
There is also a wreckage of an interstellar battleship that is even larger than the T4 Borei-class heavy interstellar battleship, floating in the star field like a 'ghost castle'.
The length of the ship is at least ten kilometers!
The "ruined walls" and "bullet scars" on it all illustrate everything it has suffered.
Although I have never seen this interstellar battleship in person, Zhao Chen's Xiaolong Fleet database contains some brief introductions to this interstellar battleship.
It is one of the only two T4 star battleships in the Star Empire!
T4 Star Emperor class medium aircraft carrier starship.
There are very few public data on it, because its number in active service is said to be less than one-tenth of the T4 Borei-class heavy interstellar battleship.
It is a T4-level interstellar battleship developed and manufactured by the royal family of the Star Empire.
The first ones to be installed were of course the royal fleet and the elite imperial fleet responsible for defending the imperial capital star.
As for the imperial fleet located on the border like the Governor of Chu River, if you want to own it, you can only buy it, and the price is ridiculously high.
Therefore, among the fleets under Governor Chuhe and the imperial fleet, most of the flagships are T4 Borei-class heavy star battleships, and it is rare to see T4 Star Emperor-class medium-sized aircraft carrier starships!
After all, although aircraft carriers and starships have extraordinary combat capabilities, they are quite expensive to build. They also need to be equipped with corresponding interstellar fighters and interstellar drones to form effective combat capabilities.
So far, the T4 Star Emperor-class medium-sized aircraft carrier starship has not fought in a decent interstellar war. It is more of a symbol of the royal family of the Star Empire.
From time to time, I attend some important ceremonies in the star field.
Therefore, from the time it was developed, manufactured and put into service until now, it has never suffered any battle damage.
But at this moment, such an interstellar battleship, which is likely to cost five billion star coins, actually fell into this uninhabited star field.
This is something no one would dare to think of.
Zhao Chen frowned, looked at the intelligence information, and whispered: "This is no small matter.
And Governor Chuhe, who arrived here as soon as possible and took control of this area, after conducting a detailed investigation of the battlefield ruins and the wreckage of the interstellar battleships.
Surprisingly, we found that all the battle recording instrument information of all interstellar battleships had been cleaned, and no information about the attackers was left at the scene!"
Secretary Lilith nodded and said: "Attack a crown prince and annihilate the royal fleet without anyone noticing.
I estimate that the top brass in the Xingyao Empire are already in turmoil."
