Somewhere in the Broken Star Ring, dense streams of transition light streaked through the quiet and dark space of the universe.

The hyperspace mobile formation is a huge fleet, composed of heavily armored ships of the Red Empire that look like steel behemoths.

The heavy-industrial-style hull is covered with various shipboard mechanical components, making it look majestic and awe-inspiring.

This is an industrial logistics team sent by the Scarlet Empire to Broken Starlink. In addition to the function of resource transportation, it also shoulders the responsibility of industrial construction and has the ability to lay production lines and military factories.

The conventional method is to use the Crimson Empire's Quick Base Expansion Pack to quickly form a stronghold and launch crazy troops.

This industrial logistics team has two main goals. One is to provide logistics for the Shattered Star Ring garrison and enhance the armed strength of the garrison.

The second is to go to the Glittering World Dawn Star Cluster and build the main base of the Empire Exploration Team on the spot.

As for transporting a batch of resources for the Black Star Legion, it is a trivial matter.

The three major cosmic-level civilizations have many fast military passages across star fields. They use super-large star gates to connect star fields, or they arrange small and medium-sized star gate routes in the barren cosmic belt for continuous jumps.

This logistics team mainly spent a lot of time mobilizing manpower, but the journey time was not long. It set off from the Central Star Sea and quickly arrived at the Broken Star Ring.

At this moment, on the advancing route of the large logistics force, a small reconnaissance fleet was exploring the way, with only twelve light reconnaissance ships.

Under the three-dimensional radar detection map of the reconnaissance main ship, a middle-aged man with a resolute face stood with his hands behind his hands, looking up at the detection map screen.

Teni Amenlos, an outstanding graduate of the 0014855th class of the Empire's "Zhengtu" Higher Military Academy, ranked first in the average score in 62 courses including strategy, tactics, and practical classes during the same period.

After graduation, he entered the imperial military and was recruited by the military to participate in many military operations. He experienced more than a thousand interstellar battles, large and small, had a record of 170 independent commands, made many high-level military exploits, and was promoted several times.

.

Now he belongs to the Thirty-third Army of the Empire, with the rank of colonel. He is an important figure in the Young and Strong Faction of the Imperial Military. He is one of the elite personnel who received the transformation of the Evolution Cube during this trip.

It was his initiative to be responsible for the reconnaissance work of the transportation team. He did not like to be pampered and could not sit idle in the rear.

Tiny looks energetic and calm, his aura is like a burning flame, masculine and tough, and his back is lifted up like an upright flag.

There is a semi-circular arc-shaped alloy ring pinned to both ears that goes around the back of the head. This is an advanced multi-function analyzer built by the empire, with functions such as communication, detection, analysis, and strategic view.

He is wearing a high-ranking officer uniform of the Red Empire, with black as the base, red and gold patterns as decoration, and the imperial national emblem in the middle of the chest.

The high-ranking officer uniforms of the Red Empire are made of nanofabric, which is light and tough, with extremely high protective power. It has functions such as stress shield, deflection shield, kinetic energy accumulation, light reflection, advanced life support, and environmental adaptation.

, fight and life blossom.

"Colonel Tiny, the radar intercepted the distress signal. The direction coordinates are t406.22. It is on our route. According to over-the-horizon observations, an interstellar travel team was attacked by a group of star thieves. The number of enemies was thirty.

It is a battleship and the spaceship is a low-level model.”

The exclusive adjutant Kerbers snapped a military salute and loudly reported the situation.

"Issue a regional broadcast to warn them and ask them to leave our path immediately."

Tiny speaks very quickly.

"...The broadcast has been released, but there is no response from the other party."

Kerbers glanced at the detection screen and said loudly: "The other party has stepped up its offensive and intends to deal with the interstellar travel team asking for help as soon as possible."

"You report the situation to the main force, and the others...switch combat formations! Level 2 alert! Load beyond visual range drag and shoot tactics and wandering siege tactics!" Taini gave the order calmly.

His mission is to reconnoiter road conditions and eliminate unstable factors. As an elite officer of the empire, he does not like to create extraneous matters. The interstellar travel team's request for help is not within the scope of his consideration, but this group of people happens to be blocking the jump route of the large army.

He then commanded the fleet to expel them.

Twelve reconnaissance warships were distributed in a fan shape and headed in the direction of the Star Thieves. Once they entered beyond visual range, they began to fire concentrated fire.

This group of star thieves encountered an attack and tried to fight back, but they could hardly hit the reconnaissance troops. Under the command of Taini, the reconnaissance troops always controlled the ultimate range.

After easily detonating several enemy ships, Taini switched tactics and commanded the reconnaissance fleet to move around and attack them.

Although the total number is less than half of the enemy, Taini can always form a local advantage with more enemies and fewer enemies.

Under his tactical command, it was as if this group of star thieves were surrounded and were gradually being eaten away.

Tiny is used to fighting in large armies, and micro-management in small group combat is not his strong point, but he can still do it easily.

His tactical style is as calm as a mountain and unhurried, just like an adult playing with a child. No matter what tricks the gang of stars use, he can easily resolve them.

Even if the reconnaissance force did not release the bubble (space stabilizer), these star thieves could not find a chance to escape by leaping, and were beaten so dizzy that they did not know where to go from east to west.

Tactical capabilities are vastly different, and spaceship performance is also vastly different. The battle did not last long, and the group of star thieves were wiped out without any surprise. Taini's battle losses were basically zero, and only part of the maintenance shield was lost.

It’s just energy.

"Notify the main force that the problem has been solved."

Taini's tone was calm. He was used to seeing large-scale interstellar battles. The battle just now was not even a warm-up for him. He just went about it casually and his mood was calm.

"Colonel, the spacecraft of this interstellar travel team is seriously damaged and cannot support long-distance voyages. They are begging to be boarded." Adjutant Kerbers' voice was like thunder.

"Refuse." Taini said without changing his expression, "Turn on the scanning probe to remotely detect the individual energy levels inside the traveling team's spacecraft. If there are no abnormalities, release a small capsule to serve as a vehicle for them."

Taini has experience in this. There have been too many combat cases in history where distress signals were used as traps. He is used to guarding against traps and scanning for high-level combat power.

Even if there is no problem, he will not let outsiders board his battleship. Instead, he will use the spare small cabin to throw these distressed passengers to the nearest colonial planet without wasting time in escorting them.

Adjutant Kerbers suddenly received a message, "Colonel, there is someone in this group of passengers who wants to talk to you. His identity is in the database. He is the leader of a small consortium in Broken Star Ring. He has a clean resume. He said he knows the gangsters."

star."

"How did he know we were looking for Black Star? It seemed like a lame trap." Tiny raised an eyebrow.

"This may be a good explanation." Adjutant Kerbers looked at the information and shook his head: "The news of our empire's alliance with Black Star has spread widely in Broken Starlink."

Tiny thought for a moment and said, "Put the communication through and I'll talk to him."

Under normal circumstances, he would not respond to requests from unrelated people, but the other party mentioned Black Star, which happened to be a topic that he was very curious about recently.

Black Star is the new ally of the empire, and Tiny knows that this trip is to go to Black Star to receive the transformation of the evolutionary cube.

Whether it is an enemy or a friend, before dealing with others, he will first know the target thoroughly through intelligence.

This comes from his military habit, which requires knowing yourself and the enemy in everything. He has already read the paper information of Black Star and needs more information about Han Xiao.

beep.

When the communication was connected, the leader of the consortium looked excited and nervous.

When he was attacked by star pirates, he thought he was going to be unlucky, but he didn't expect to be rescued by the Scarlet Empire. He saw the opportunity to contact a cosmic civilization. In order to attract attention, he thought of trying and reported the name of Black Star.

.

"How do you know Black Star?"

"More than ten years ago, I hired Black Star's mercenary group and had close contact with Black Star. This is all recorded." The man couldn't wait to answer.

"Okay, tell me again from the beginning." Taini narrowed his eyes.

Even in the Central Star Sea, there is no example of such a rapid rise. It can be said that Black Star has broken the historical record of the speed of advancement from ordinary people to Transcendent A Grade since ancient times.

Tiny was very curious about such a legendary figure.

Moreover, Black Star and himself are both from the mechanical system and are Transcendent A Grade from the same system. Taini still wants to ask for advice.

…

After returning from Star Heboar, Han Xiao brought back a large number of cooperation intentions from various forces. Silvia immediately became busy, negotiating cooperation details with different forces every day, and was very busy.

Fortunately, she has a calamity-level physique. If she had been an ordinary person, she would have died of overwork in a matter of minutes.

Silvia is very diligent, and Han Xiao is very happy about this. If his affairs manager is Jenny, I am afraid that Jenny would dare to find him and die with him with the psionic bomb.

Emersy did not return to Long Calm. She was very quiet and thought about it, and took the initiative to find Han Xiao to accompany her.

It doesn’t matter where she goes, the main thing is that she has an old friend of the same level to chat with every day, and she works with Han Xiao. She feels that she can often encounter interesting things.

The elites of the empire were still on the way, so Han Xiao decided to complete the evolution of Aquamarine Star and Black Spirit Clan first.

It took time for Planet Aquamarine to gather the people, so this matter was handed over to Bennett. Han Xiao went to the Black Spirit Clan first - the Black Spirit Clan has a spiritual link network, making it easier to gather.

…

Black Spirit Star.

Since the Black Spirit tribe has established a foothold on this uninhabited planet, the planet has officially changed its name on the star map.

call--

The spacecraft broke through the atmosphere and landed slowly, and the gray and green surface gradually expanded in sight.

The radar showed the life signal of the community. Han Xiao drove the spaceship and headed for the Germinal Tribe's territorial lair.

Cloudless.

Passing through the vast land dominated by rocky surfaces and dotted with sparse forests, a huge sinkhole appeared in front of us.

This is a large open-air lair, with dense holes scattered on the walls of the lair, extending in all directions. Originally this was a lair underground, but the Black Spirits removed the earth above their heads to expose it.

Han Xiao once seconded some of the Black Spirits to mine resource planets. The Black Spirits were impacted by various interstellar cultures and began to learn wisdom and civilization.

Because the spiritual network has a highly unified group consciousness, the efficiency of knowledge popularization is extremely amazing. In the past ten years, the Black Spirit Tribe has tried to abandon the habits of being beasts and began to know how to use tools to build nests on the ground.

There are some messy piles of rocks in this open-air lair, which are actually the prototype of a building. The Black Spirit tribe gradually emerged from the ground to the surface. This place can actually be regarded as the prototype of a city.

In the center of the lair stands a huge whispering stone totem, carved into a strange appearance.
