This is actually not the first time that Charlie has met the Star Eater. The last time, when he left his hometown of Sarna, which seemed like a world away, the escape method his father had prepared for him in advance was a method that had been sleeping for several days.
The centuries-old Star Eater.
This kind of cosmic Leviathan, which is even rarer than dragon species, survives by devouring rocks and metals from planets. It has no ill will towards life and civilization, and it does not even have any desire for the flesh and blood of carbon-based creatures. It just
Relying on instinct to attack and devour nearby planets to maintain its own existence and balance, it has a sense of destruction, what does it have to do with you.
Therefore, for any kind of creature in the universe, this is a walking natural disaster that can be easily eliminated.
However, we have to know that since this thing is called a Star Eater, the intimidation brought by its size alone is enough to make those monsters speechless. If you want to nip these natural disasters in the cradle in advance, you must be
We have to mobilize the main battleships.
As for Xia Li now, although she was staring at the hundred-mile-long body and salivating, she still maintained her basic composure after hesitating for a moment.
"It's a pity that you appeared too early! If I had waited until I matured and eaten one of them, I could have built a dozen Leviathans and hundreds of millions of legions."
Charlie was indeed very sorry, but she didn't show any concern. Anyway, the universe is so big, you can always find something to eat. You can't eat Star Eaters here, but maybe you can eat Dome Whales and Star Dragons if you turn around.
.
This giant creature was not prepared to cover up its existence at all, or in other words, it had no such awareness. Therefore, even though it was hiding in the asteroid belt tens of millions of kilometers away, Charlie used the biological sensing organs that Leviathan had just evolved to
, captured the state of this giant beast.
It just woke up and is now very hungry and can't wait to catch something.
But this is very unscientific.
The Star Eater is a space Leviathan that has no thinking ability and can only act based on instinct. When it feels hungry, it will just subconsciously move towards the nearest nearby planet. Of course, stars and gas giant planets are excluded.
But now, it passed over a barren rocky planet, passed through the asteroid belt, and continued to move towards the distant starry sky. It didn't even pay attention to the predator fleet following it.
At first glance, this scene really looks like a pack of wild dogs following a strutting African elephant.
Probably because this kind of tailing mission still puts too much pressure on them, everyone is cautious and trembling, but they don't even notice Leviathan hiding in the asteroid belt, or even that there has just been an event here.
Small scale battle.
So, Xia Li became a little bolder and sent out several explosive mosquitoes for reconnaissance in the distance to enhance their field of vision.
Then, a warship with a twisted shape, full of sharp angles and ferocious exterior decorations came into her shared sight. Of course, this was also a typical predator warship in the wasteland splicing style, but
It can be seen that the owner of the boat still has a very personal aesthetic. Although the taste is not very good, the bad taste is still very stylized.
"...It is the Bloody Battle, the flagship of Warlord Sazaka."
After all, Charlie accompanied the main fleet of the Marauders through the Gate of Glory, and she still remembered the ships of some important figures very clearly.
The owner of the Blood War, Sazaka, was a very brave troll warlord. The Great Khan did not have many die-hard supporters among the trolls, but Sazaka was one of them.
You must know that the soldiers and civilians of this great expedition of the marauders certainly include not only the Elor people, but also a considerable number of trolls, long-bearded demons and other races.
As the "number one ally" of the Predator Group, Charlie certainly knew that her side did have a battle plan to divide its forces to destroy the colonies of the Community and the Alliance to slow down the opponent's counterattack. She also somewhat guessed that these tasks should be carried out by the trolls and Long Beard.
You must know that the demon troops came to carry out the plan. At this time, both colonies lacked garrison troops. It was better to call it a battle than a plan to make them rich.
Now, the plunderers have penetrated all the way through the empire's glorious colonies, and they have almost destroyed everything that should be looted and destroyed. It is the community's turn.
However, Xia Li really didn't expect that the attack force was composed like this.
For some reason, a star-devouring insect was willing to serve as a vanguard. With this guy alone, the Predators even had the confidence to start a war with a Titan.
In addition, there are currently more than 200 artificial flying objects that have jumped into this system, but there are less than 20 real predator warships among them. One is the large fire-breathing ship Blood War as the flagship, and the rest are medium-sized motherships.
and Spitfire each had eight ships.
The combat effectiveness of such a fleet is roughly the same as that of the Community's Thirteenth Fleet stationed in the New World.
What really surprised Xia Li were the aircraft that she had never seen before.
Most of them are in the shape of a regular triangle, very flat in shape, and generally sharp arrow-shaped, which can easily remind her of unmanned combat aircraft.
This is not an unfamiliar weapon. Although civilizations across the galaxy generally reject the existence of omnics, drones have never been uncommon on the battlefield.
For example, there are those maintenance engineering drones, and then there are the cleaning drones that are responsible for cleaning the battlefield and recovering zero elements and precious metals, and then there are the unmanned fighter jets. In some military powers with advanced robotics technology, a pilot flies a
Fighters are always assigned two to four drones to serve as wingmen.
If the driver is a psyker with strong mental power, there are even extreme examples of dozens or even hundreds of pilots.
...Of course, if the Palladium people of the Iron Army Complex pretend to be robots for so long that they have deceived themselves, dragging hundreds of them is just a routine operation.
However, the size of most unmanned combat aircraft is not large, and most of them are less than two-thirds of the light single-seat fighter aircraft. And these triangular flying objects are generally more than thirty or forty meters long, and they are already assault ships and powerful aircraft.
It's the standard for landing craft.
In addition, there are four or five spherical flying objects hiding in the Predator battleship group. Their diameter is no different than that of the Predator mothership, and they can be regarded as large "battleships".
However, although they were very different from the triangular flying objects, for some reason, Charlie felt that they were the same model.
"...Hohoho, Tomitelli, my Great Khan, you have dug out a lot of good things from that ruins!"
Charlie knew that her "best friend" and "number one ally", the Great Khan Tomitelli of the Marauders, did have a lot of secrets. As a political figure, the Great Khan had a lot of secrets about him.
The ally is quite candid. She once told herself very frankly that the reason why she dared to plan such a grand strategy that shocked everyone in the galaxy was naturally because she took out an extremely rich sum of money from the center of the galaxy.
Ancient heritage.
"I very much suspect that that ruins should be a library left by the ancient enlightened civilization, which contains endless secrets and wealth in the void. My ancestors have known about the existence of this ruins a long time ago
, but it wasn’t until my grandfather’s generation that their location was determined, and it wasn’t until I successfully opened it.”
"In the era of the Third Galactic War, the former kings were unable to save their lives, and they really pinned their hopes on this treasure house. Haha, they used their last resources to explore the center of the galaxy, but it had no effect on the war situation.
It has no effect, but it opens up a base for us to escape. Isn't this ironic?"
This includes the secret passage in the Abyss Nebula, the star map of a certain star field in the New World, and the large stable group of young and middle-aged stars in the core of the star field. It is thousands of miles of fertile ground that has not been discovered by all the major civilizations in the Milky Way, and is uncultivated.
In the land of virginity, any civilization can be rebuilt as long as it is given a few decades.
...Of course, it is not too accurate to say that it has not been "cultivated". In fact, according to the information in the ruins they decrypted, it was once one of the most prosperous core star regions of the civilization of the enlightened people. However,
With the technical capabilities of the Enlightened Ones, they have already reached the realm of symbiosis between heaven and man. There is no problem of resource depletion, and there is no telling how many utilizable resources are left in those deep starry skies.
For the predators struggling to survive in the center of the galaxy, this is the imperial capital that can revive them again. No, if it is done well, it can even establish a greater empire than the First Eero Empire that fell in the war.
"But since you already knew where it was, why didn't you explore it in advance?" Charlie didn't quite understand.
"Because it's located there, even in the center of the galaxy, it's the most dangerous area. We tried our best, but we couldn't even break through the periphery," the Great Khan said.
"So, it's okay now?"
"We have received help from powerful people." The Great Khan still said frankly: "In this way, our explorers and warriors will be able to break through the outer dead zone."
For some reason, Charlie immediately thought of the drugs taken by the Elorian navigators when they were marching in the Abyss Nebula.
"If you really need men and horses to go to a dead end, I have plenty here." Xia Li said half-jokingly and half-seriously.
The other party tilted the little master, and said half-jokingly and half-seriously: "That's not okay, I like you very much. I hope to be your lifelong friend and ally. I really don't want to fight with you one day.
See you!"
In other words, in the ruins opened by the other party, there was a treasure that could make both parties fall out. Charlie smiled and never mentioned it again. However, she was still grateful for the "help" the other party had received.
"very interested.
"I also have other allies. Charlie, there are many people who sympathize with the situation of the Ero people. Of course, there are also a lot of people who are just unhappy with the Empire and the Alliance and hope that I can cause trouble for them. But it doesn't matter at all.
Anyway, I only look at the results. To me, the second type of person is even more trustworthy than the first type of person."
"Because sympathy is just a condescending and self-satisfying emotion. If you say it doesn't exist, it won't exist. However, common interests are eternal."
"I hope you will serve as a pawn to disrupt the empire and the alliance. Is this also a common interest?"
"Hate is also a kind of interest. Otherwise, why would our relationship be so good?" she laughed.
The little master of the insect swarm also had to admit that what the other party said did make sense.
Later, at the expense of many members of the exploration team, the Great Khan did indeed take out the legendary relics of the silver core of his ancestors, and then formulated such a crazy family-changing plan.
Many predator warlords feel that this plan is too risky, and if they don't make up their minds, they will all perish in the unknown deep space. In this way, they use the center of the galaxy as a natural fortress and hide in it to build their own business.
Isn't it a harmonious and beautiful life to be together and go out "hunting" in your free time? Why take such a big risk?
However, there are many people who are willing to follow the Great Khan's plan. They all know that the plunderers are said to be cosmic nomads based in the center of the galaxy, but rather they are prisoners locked in the center of the galaxy. No matter how many they fight
No matter how many times they defeat the main fleets of the Empire and Alliance, they are slowly entering a slow death.
Therefore, those who are willing to follow in the footsteps of the Great Khan are not only the direct descendants of the Elor people, but also a considerable number of bearded demons and troll leaders.
Charlie then knew that in this raider expedition, only 70% of the soldiers and civilians were Ero people, and the rest came from other tribes of the raiders. If Great Khan Tomitelli could really succeed, she would be in the New World
What will be rebuilt will not be a simple country of the Elero people, but may be a multi-ethnic cosmic empire.
Of course, the premise of everything is that she can succeed.
For this purpose, of course, she did not hesitate to play all the cards in her hand. The same was true for the huge star-eating insect, and the same was true for those weird triangular and round battleships. Of course, it also included the larger pirates in the nearby star field.
Grouped.
Speaking of which, hadn't the Great Khan sent people to contact the nearby pirates a long time ago and told them that they would gather in the near future? Why is there no movement yet? The little master thought about the situation in front of him, and then thought of what she and she had done before they parted.
The Great Khan's final dialogue.
"Anyway, Charlie, just go to the so-called promised land and get what you should get. As for the snakes, I won't force you to cooperate with them. Everything is up to you to judge. However, I will
We will launch a defensive counterattack in the near future.”
"Defensive counterattack?"
"Isn't an active attack launched in order to survive called a defensive counterattack?" the Great Khan said with a smile.
"If you are interested, you can come and take a look. Don't worry, I am different from a snake. I will never let you be used as cannon fodder."
In other words, the snake-headed "playwright" who is in Xinyumen has also accurately calculated that there will be this attack, and is he prepared to fish in troubled waters there?
Then, I also...
But will this be dangerous? Not only is there the "playwright" over there, but the divinely chosen champion is also there now, and they are just two snake heads!
Wait, there are two snake heads, one inside and one outside. Could this be a trap?
But, is this directed at me? Or is it directed at Khan?
The more Charlie thought about it, the more complicated and confused she became. When the Star Eater and the Predator fleet had left the galaxy, she hesitantly drove the Leviathan and followed her back three times. For you
