It took the fleet five days to leave this galaxy. As soon as it entered the next galaxy, it saw a pirate fleet blocking the door.

The striker defeated the pirate fleet head-on, and then as soon as the large force emerged from the wormhole, they immediately started the jump engine and entered the sub-light speed state, escaping before the pirate base not far away could react.

It stops and goes in the super-light speed state, and actively leaves the sub-light speed state in advance. If it is stopped by the interception force field of the pirate base in the galaxy, the fleet's location will appear directly on the face of the pirate base, which will be troublesome.

Fortunately, they had prepared a lot for taking this route, and they knew the distribution of pirate bases in this galaxy very well. They had stopped and stopped in a galaxy more than ten times without making any mistakes.

Li Qing followed the fleet and wrote down the locations of all the pirate bases he encountered along the way, and included them in his star map.

Reading thousands of books is not as good as walking thousands of miles. No matter how good the star map given by others is, it is not as good as actually walking on it yourself.

Half a month later, they had crossed three galaxies in a row and arrived at the edge of the galaxy's gravity well. Three wormhole vortexes lined up side by side in the cold void, constantly spewing surging energy tides.

Li Qing took a surprised look and opened the information he got from Li Lie to check.

These three wormholes lead to three different places respectively, one leads to the outpost and the joint war star area of ​​the Shatta tribe, one leads to the core star area of ​​the Lester Pirate Group, and the last one is an unstable wormhole.

Towards the unknown starry sky.

However, although the wormholes lead to different areas, the distance between the first and the second one is not very far. The battle area of ​​the outpost is actually not very far from the core star field of the Lester Pirate Group. It can also be circled from other places.

In the past, there were theoretically two ways to get to the outpost.

If you take the first one, you only need to pass through four more systems to reach the outpost.

To take the second wormhole, you need to go through the galaxy controlled by the Lester Pirate Group, and you need to circle thirty or forty galaxies to reach the outpost.

The huge fleet stopped in front of the wormhole, and Li Qing also received new orders. It turned out that the reconnaissance mode was cancelled, and a total of twelve people in their team formed a team to break away from the large fleet, and in the form of a small team, one million people were near the fleet.

Cruising within kilometers.

There are more than twenty such squads, scattered near the fleet, dedicated to intercepting small pirate fleets.

Four large fleets with battleships were divided into two. Among them, Wang Yanqing, who was born in the direct line of the Wang family in Danyang, and Luo Taiyuan, who was born in the direct line of the Luo family in Longzhong Province, each led a fleet to set off first. The two fleets combined had nearly a thousand large and small battleships.

It disappeared into the wormhole, and all other fleets and merchant ships stopped at the entrance of the wormhole.

Li Qing didn't know what the commander-in-chief meant by doing this. Although the teacher had taught about such a large-scale strategic command in his family class before, the lectures and actual experience were two different things.

The situation is ever-changing, and it is impossible to directly copy what is taught in the classroom. You have to respond flexibly according to the actual situation.

This is the difference between whiteboard commanders, blue-named, purple-named elite commanders, and even famous generals. In fact, they all learned the same content at the beginning, but in the end, some became unknown commanders, and some became famous top generals. This is

application differences.

Li Qing knows very well how much he weighs, so now he just watches, waits for the results, and then understands why he does what he does through the results.

This is learning. Not only can you gain command experience, but you can also gain many things that cannot be reflected through skills.

Command skills are only superficial. No matter how high the bonus is, it is dead. Excellent command can turn decay into magic. This is something no matter how high command skills are, it cannot do it.

Not long after, the fleet began to move, and Li Qing and others also received an order to follow the caravan.

Then, a communication jamming force field covering the entire fleet was deployed, but the effect was against the entire fleet. All communications were interrupted here. To everyone's surprise, the huge caravan did not enter the wormhole that the forward fleet entered.

, but dived into the star field leading to the control of Lester Pirate Group.

Li Lie, Li Qi and other team members in the channel were all surprised, or in other words, everyone in the entire fleet was surprised. However, they were unable to contact the command center at this time and could only follow the original plan and enter the second wormhole.

After a brief passage through the wormhole, an unfamiliar starry sky soon appeared in front of Li Qing, and then harsh red lights and warning sounds lit up inside the battleship. Not far from the blue dot representing his own side on the radar sensor, there was a dense red

At this point, the radar scan screen was also transmitted in real time. It was a pirate fleet larger than their remaining warships and merchant ships combined, and the channel suddenly became chaotic.

Most people were extremely puzzled and sent messages to the headquarters to ask questions, but some were able to stabilize their emotions.

Li Lie said in the channel:

"Don't worry, everyone, the commander-in-chief must have his reasons for doing this, and haven't you noticed that we are not under attack now?"

At this moment, everyone discovered that the dense red dots on the radar sensor screen suddenly turned into blue representing teammates. At the same time, the alarm was lifted, and a communication from the command headquarters was passed to everyone:

"Don't worry, everyone, we have reached an agreement with the Blue Fish clan among the sixteen clans of the Lester Pirate Group. Next, they will escort us through this star field back to the outpost."

"But accordingly, we will pay 100 billion star yuan for the escort fee, which will be paid out of the profits earned from this business trip."

"Perhaps everyone is wondering why we are doing this. According to reliable information, three clans from the Lester Pirate Group have already set their sights on us and have already laid an ambush on the other side. The fleet should have already sent our whereabouts there, so we

Detach a fleet to attract their attention, and take the main force another way."

This explanation is expected by everyone.

Along the way, Li Qing didn't feel any pressure. The escort was like a formality. That's because they were powerful and ordinary forces couldn't do anything to them.

And those who can defeat them are all concentrated near the outpost. Whether it is the Shatta tribe united with this alien civilization or the Lester pirate group, they have enough strength to eat them.

Especially the Lester Pirate Group, who started out as pirates, are most keen on robbery, especially with such a large caravan, they must be very interested.

There is no way for such a large caravan to hide their whereabouts, and it is inevitable that they will be intercepted halfway.

Everyone thought that there would be a big battle later, but they did not expect that Yu Yuefei would do the opposite. It is not known how she used to get a relationship with a clan of the Lester Pirate Group, directly using the clan's relationship.

Escort the fleet through the hinterland of the Lester Pirate Group.

Passing directly through the pirate's hometown, this move was completely beyond the robbers' expectations.

No wonder she dared to organize such a large caravan. Li Qing now understood where her confidence lay.

It would be best not to start a war, and no matter how bellicose a player is, they are not willing to fight an uncertain battle.

The loss of a frigate is tens of millions or even hundreds of millions, the sinking of a destroyer is hundreds of millions, and if a cruiser is sunk, the loss is probably as much as ten to two billion. The three pirate clans united can easily defeat them.

They were destroyed.

The next journey is very easy. With the Blue Fish Clan opening the way, they can directly cross the galaxy at sub-light speed without being intercepted by pirate bases all over the galaxy. They can cross a galaxy in almost half a day.

Among them, they also crossed more than twenty galaxies through the star gate in a large pirate base in the galaxy, jumped directly to the edge of the pirate group's territory, then passed through the wormhole, and entered the battle between the outpost and the Shata Tribe Alliance.

Star field.

The Blue Fish Clan fleet that came here to escort them returned. They stopped here for half a day, and a patrol fleet from the outpost came over and escorted them through the warring star field.

"Tsk tsk, this network of connections is unusually strong!"

The Jinmen Province is the basic base of the Yu family, the transit base is also invested and established by the Yu family, and most of the outposts are also established by the Yu family. The Yu family will definitely occupy a part of the future imperial expeditionary force.

If these three alien races are defeated in the future, the Yu clan will be guaranteed to win one of the eight living planets. This is a default exchange.

The Yu family has spent so many resources and costs to support the expeditionary force to open up the Zutar star field. It is impossible for them to make wedding dresses for others.

"So...."

Li Qing held his chin and thought. The leader of this team is a direct descendant of the Yu family. Maybe they may not get the guaranteed planet, but that one is a guarantee. It does not mean that the Yu family can only grab one life planet. If the Yu family

If you have the ability, you can win another life planet.

The key is that the possibility is not small. After all, with the support of the Yu family, a local snake, right at the doorstep of his own house, all kinds of overt and covert support are beyond imagination, and the advantage he has is really too great.

As long as there is a powerful person in the direct line of the Yu clan who can unite other clan members, there is a high chance of success.

It just so happens that Li Qing is still considering whether to join someone else's team or slowly build a team by himself. This team seems to be pretty good.

The only thing that worried him was that there was something wrong with the composition of this team, which made him hesitate.

You must know that the core of this team is Yu Yuefei, the pearl of the Yu family. Her ability is unparalleled. Whether she has heard about it before or witnessed it with her own eyes this time, the key is that most of her team members are composed of her admirers.

To put it bluntly, the main members of this team came here because of her background and beauty, and they all wanted to chase the beauty and gain both people and wealth.

But she was alone and could only choose one.

Then the problem comes, when she makes a choice, the team falls apart.

Don't say that we are delaying it first until the victory of a life planet is finalized.

That is impossible. Most of those who dare to pursue her are the direct descendants of the major military leaders of the United Empire of Humanity, or civilian elites. They are not fools. They cannot make wedding dresses for others. They will definitely force her to make a choice before success.

This is inevitable. Anyone would do it. It is impossible to delay it.

Therefore, Yu Yuefei's team seems to have great potential, but in fact there are huge hidden problems, which makes him afraid to make this bet.

After all, if he wants to buy shares, he will definitely not just rely on his status as a psyker. In this way, the equity he will get will be very small, and his status in the team will not be high, so there is no point in joining.

He must use the dreadnought blueprint in his hand and the space relics disguised as the universe in his hand to pledge shares and strive for as much equity and status as possible. In this way, he can successfully capture a planet in the future and maximize his own benefits.

Benefit.

so.....

Li Qing struggled for a long time and finally decided to take a look first.

Anyway, I’m not in a hurry to make a decision now. I’m about to go to the outpost right now. I’ll hang out in the outpost for a few months and see if there’s a suitable team here to join. If I really can’t find it, then...

.

"well!"

I rubbed my forehead, feeling a little headache.

"I don't know if Yu Yuefei has considered this. With the wisdom she shows now, she should have thought about it."

It's a pity that he is not familiar with Yu Yuefei, nor is Li Lie, and it is not easy for him to ask this question.

"The boat will naturally go straight when it reaches the bridge!"

Li Qing let out a breath, pressed an interface on the right with his right hand to bring it to his eyes, and continued reading to gain experience while he had some free time.

"Arrived in the Outpost System."

Li Lie's voice came from the channel:

"Once you enter the base, you can move around freely. The money will be transferred to you after the goods are sold, so don't worry."

At this time, Li Qing received Li Lie's private message and opened an interface to reveal Li Lie's projection. He asked:

"Are you going to continue to follow us later, or go around by yourself first?"

"Let's go for a walk first and learn about the situation near the outpost."

Li Lie seemed to see something and asked:

"Aren't you optimistic about Miss Yu Yuefei's team?"

Li Qing did not deny it, nodded and said:

"It's true that I'm not very optimistic. You should be able to see that the link that maintains the existence of this team is Miss Yu Yuefei. Everyone knows the purpose of the leaders of those powerful teams, but..."

He stated exactly what he was thinking, without hiding his worries.

Li Lie listened carefully and nodded:

"What you said is indeed a problem. I also know that the team will definitely split in the near future, but I can also be sure that even if it splits, the team can still develop. After all, they are backed by the Yu family. Currently, there is no one with potential in the direct line of the Yu family.

several."

"I don't deny it either, but..."

Li Qing paused and changed the subject:

"It's too early to talk about this now. I'll go take a look around first."

Li Lie nodded:

"Okay, you can learn about the outpost first and compare it."

Turning off communications, a destroyer and a frigate broke away from the team and flew towards the outpost in the center of the galaxy.

The outpost is a single star system. The main sequence star is a common red star. This kind of star has entered the late stage of its life cycle, and the heat and luminosity it releases are much lower than in the past. It is expected to be in millions or even hundreds of millions of years.

, the star will burn out its last energy and enter the end stage of its life.

Judging from the huge mass of the Outpost main sequence star, there is a high probability that it will shrink and collapse into a black hole after the end of its life.
