Dark Age 387.

Arms of Orion, floodlit star system.

Originally, this was the most prosperous star system in the Star Sea Federation and the largest trade hub of the Federation.

But at this moment, the prosperity of the past is no longer there, and all that is left is just being kept in captivity like domestic animals...

Humans!

Yes, this is the largest slave market in the galaxy, and it is also a market where only a single race trades.

Since the demise of the Federation more than three hundred years ago, all humans in the star systems originally under the jurisdiction of the Federation have been traded as slaves.

This is the most noble race in the galaxy, but now it has become a slave, and it is also an extremely sought-after type. How sad.

This is the inevitable result after the demise of a civilization in the age of the universe.

After all, it was originally the most powerful civilization in the galaxy. No matter which civilization it was, if it didn't have a few human slaves, it would be embarrassed to say how high its status was.

Therefore, human beings are kept in captivity and reproduced from generation to generation, but no matter how many generations they reproduce, they still cannot escape the fate that has been written since birth.

slave...

If you are bought back by some people and used as servants or coolies, you are still happy.

But if they are bought back by some perverted races and abused, or bought back by some cannibal races and used as...

That is the most tragic thing.

------

There are four natural life planets in the floodlight star system. This situation is rare even on the four main spiral arms.

At this moment, in an asteroid belt not far from Snow, a spaceship with a very shabby appearance was hiding inside.

If it weren't for the several very conspicuous cannons on the spacecraft, no one would have thought of it as a battleship given its level of dilapidation.

Even some interstellar pirate spaceships are not so broken...

In the bridge, a group of people are busy at the moment.

"Captain, as per the intelligence, there is only one Kerry Empire destroyer in the orbit of Snow Planet!"

"Looking at the logo, it should be the Ves fleet belonging to the empire!"

The chief officer of the radar department reported loudly.

While listening to the report, Su He, as the captain, still frowned.

Over the past 300 years, the number of human resistance armies has increased from hundreds to less than ten now.

The most critical thing is that although they claim to be a rebel force, they actually only have two federal patrol ships that are over 400 years old, and their combat capabilities are simply incomparable to those of the regular army's warships.

even...

Not even a Kerry Empire frigate can defeat it.

Originally, we shouldn't have come here so rashly. After all, there have always been warships from the four major civilizations stationed in the Flood Star System to protect their assets.

Trying to fight against a 400-year-old patrol ship is tantamount to wishful thinking.

However, that special signal can only be received by special federal equipment...

But they had to come.

"Where is the signal source? Has its location been confirmed?"

"The captain has been confirmed, 27 degrees south latitude, 87 degrees east longitude."

"Pick me up Long Yuchao!"

"Yes, Captain, it has been connected and it is displayed on the main screen!"

Soon, a man wearing a pilot's helmet whose face could not be seen clearly appeared on the main screen of the bridge.

"captain!"

"Yuchao, I can only help you hold the Kerry Empire warship for ten minutes at most. Once the time is up, the Hope will leave regardless of whether you come back or not. Is this clear?"

"clear!"

"Be prepared and take action in one hour!"

"Yes, Captain!"

After ending the communication, Su He stood up suddenly and waved his right hand.

"Accelerate to 200 kilometers per second, then shut down all systems and keep the entire ship silent!"

"Yes, Captain!"

The entire bridge suddenly became busy.

The battleship slowly accelerated, and when it reached a speed of 200 kilometers per second, all systems were shut down.

Just like a wreck, it relies on inertia and heads towards Snow Star.

Speaking of which, as one of the main battlefields in the Great War more than 300 years ago, there are quite a few wrecks of Federation warships in the floodlight star system that look like ghosts.

Therefore, it is also common to encounter a wreckage by chance.

After all, this 400-year-old patrol ship was already very dilapidated, and before going on a mission, Su He specially asked someone to touch up the outer shell of the battleship to make it look more like a dilapidated wreck.

.

At the same time, in the orbit of Snow Star, the destroyer belonging to the Weiss fleet...

At this moment, the sirens on the bridge suddenly sounded loudly.

"What's going on?"

A burly man with a burly nature broke into the bridge and shouted loudly.

"Captain, the radar scanned a federal warship. According to the database analysis, it should be the Star Sea Federation, Lankai Type 3 patrol ship!"

"Give me the observation screen!"

"Yes, Captain!"

Soon, the figure of a battleship was displayed on the main screen in the bridge.

"Have you scanned this battleship?"

"It has been scanned, and there is no sign of activity. All systems are offline. It is moving only by inertia. According to its trajectory, it should pass by Snow Star in an hour."

"Turn off the alarm, another damn wreck!"

Shaking his head, Kyle ordered.

This was not the first time he had seen this kind of federal warship wreckage in the Flood Star System.

Even if you open fire, it will be completely destroyed and shattered into pieces.

That's just a waste of energy and creating more wreckage, and it has no meaning.

It's better to let him go. Anyway, his adjutant said that it would just pass Snow Star, and it wouldn't be on the collision course, right?

"Yes, Captain!"

The next moment, the alarm in the battleship was turned off, and Kyle handed over the command to his deputy and then left the bridge.

He hadn't slept enough yet, so he went back to catch up on his sleep.

------

One hour later.

The bridge of the USS Hope.

"Captain, we are about to arrive at the combat position!"

"Aim accurately and be sure to destroy the enemy ship's main gun with one blow, otherwise this battle will be impossible to fight!"

"clear!"

"Prepare... right now, restart the reactor and restore all systems!"

"The reactor is starting up...the startup is complete, the entire ship system is restarting...the startup is complete!"

After all, this is the age of the universe, and the Federation was once the strongest civilization in the galaxy. The technology is naturally not bad. It takes less than ten seconds to restart a battleship.

At this moment, the dim bridge was lit up again, and the reappearance of artificial gravity pushed everyone back to their chairs again.

"Main gun calibrated!"

"Fire!"

"Yes, the main gun fires!"

A blue beam of light was shot out instantly, directly bombarding the Kerry Empire destroyer not far away, which was defenseless and had not even opened its shield.

boom!!!

Faced with a warship that is on orbit and has no maneuvers at all, it is obvious that anyone who is not an amateur will miss.
