There is a long "distance" between the Void Zone and the Empire's border. This area called the Far Frontier is actually the collective name for the Void Territory that the Empire has the ability to send fleets to, but currently has no spare capacity to take care of. Its vastness is evident.
.In addition, the speed of a large fleet is limited by its huge size, so even with the empire's void navigation technology and constant high-speed jumps, it took us two full days to reach our destination.
The good news is that the Merova people don't seem to be alert at all. The lone immigrant ship that appeared at their border a few days ago and the missing soldiers at that time failed to arouse the suspicion of the other party. It has to be said that it is inevitable.
There is no way to stop it - on the day the fleet arrived, we began to blockade the entire territory of Melova.
This is a job that requires caution, because the opponent has imperial technology in their hands, and after following the empire for countless years, they must have learned a lot, so Sandora judged the Merova people's void navigation and observation
The technology must be very high. If the huge fleet we bring moves too frequently, the overflow of void information caused by it is likely to be observed.
According to the information available at hand, the territory of the Merova people is composed of thirteen universes. They are an advanced civilization that spans universes and possesses void support technology. These traitors seem to be trying to establish a grand country like the former empire.
, they also have their own servant army, and let these servants, whom they call the "slave race", support all the work of the entire empire - except for the army and culture. Among the thirteen universes included in the Merova Kingdom,
Six of them are not of much value in our eyes. According to the information revealed by the two prisoners of war, these universes seem to exist purely as the production areas of slaves and a small number of specialty resources. They are poor and backward, and even have troops stationed there.
They are all extremely poor. In these worlds, the number of Merova people is very small, and they basically exist as supreme rulers and monitors. Apart from them, the rest are used as labor and "materials" in large numbers.
We first ruled out the plan to go to these worlds because it was meaningless. The staff team estimated that the battle against these worlds would only take an hour or two to end, and they could be released.
at the end.
The remaining seven universes are relatively developed and can be regarded as the "inland" areas of the Merova Kingdom. Among them, the ones that attract our attention more are the capital of Merova and the two universes called "Pure World".
These three worlds seem to be the ruling centers, industrial and military centers of the Merova people. Sandora first ordered to send a large number of imperial agents to these three universes. Then, we randomly selected a planet in the capital universe as our own.
The first stop for a group of people to "explore the enemy's situation" in person. Of course, this random choice was also made by Miss Lin, so it probably has some extraordinary significance... Who knows.
The fleet continued to perform its mission in the void realm, and the top commander of the fleet organized a group to go to the enemy's planet for sightseeing. This thing really makes people can't help but complain. Anyway, after the teleportation halo dissipated, I couldn't help but complain.
"After all, you just want to bring some souvenirs back..."
The person I was muttering to was, of course, Miss Lin. It was this girl who suggested everyone come down from the very beginning. Although her reasons were high-sounding, they definitely could not hide the fact that this guy was uncontrollably curious.
"If you want to talk nonsense, just go back." The eldest lady has long been invulnerable. She threw it to me lightly, and then looked at the distant scenery with interest, "Well, it looks like there is not much deviation from the calculation. Let's
Arrived in an inaccessible place.”
I now have some free time to look around at the surrounding scenery. The landing site chosen by everyone is a colonial planet in the Merova capital universe. It is sixteen light years away from the Merova capital galaxy. It should be possible.
Counted as an urban village in the capital... What kind of metaphor is this... Well, let's understand it this way. According to the information previously scanned with probes, the basic parameters of this planet are not much different from most high-level ecological planets. Here
The gravity is slightly greater than that of the earth. The atmosphere is thinner. The composition of the atmosphere is also very different from that of the earth. Although it can basically support the survival of life on earth, ordinary earthlings should be very uncomfortable living here - but this is already
It’s quite rare. After all, something as delicate and fragile as a living environment is extremely rare in the universe. A carbon-based supporting ecological planet like the Earth is even rarer. This planet is a naturally formed planet with life.
It is rare, and thanks to the natural environment here, this planet has rich native ecological structures and highly evolved native life - all of which were scanned by probes before landing. The place we are now is a
Relatively gentle hills, but you can see the continuous mountains in the distance, so it is roughly the border area between hills and mountains. The sky is bright and clear, and there is a very, very light green color in the clouds - this is this
A unique landscape caused by the natural volatilization of certain chemicals in the planet's atmosphere that will be decomposed by sunlight. I looked around and saw that the entire area was covered with vegetation. The most common type around it looked like weeds, but its leaves were half as thick as hair.
Slender and fluffy plants with an indigo luster. The height of these plants is no more than the ankle, and they are as soft as carpets when stepped on. Shandora pulled up a piece of grass casually, and a blue light flashed in her eyes: "It's completely different from the earth.
life form, and there are several superheavy elements in it. The average radiation amount of this planet is several times that of the Earth's environment. It and the entire star system must have been generated in a cloud environment of heavy elements accumulated after several supernova explosions.
of."
I am not interested in the origin of the planet, I am just busy watching this different alien scenery. Although I have seen the wonderful scenery of alien planets countless times, this experience of constantly witnessing new wonders of life seems to never let me down.
People are bored. Although the environment of the planet in front of us is very different from that of the earth, the landscape does not give people much impact. It is suitable for travel and vacation... By the way, am I a little too relaxed? This seems to belong to the enemy.
The territory comes, and it’s near the capital city...
Qian Qian squatted on the ground and didn't know what she was studying. Then she suddenly took it out of her pocket and took out... a ten centimeter-high mini Medivh! She pulled two grasses from the ground and swept them
After clearing the soil, he fed it to the ultra-small crow god lying in his hand, waiting for food. The latter took two bites of the grass leaves, making a crunching sound like chewing plastic, and then spat it out.
Qian Qian raised her fist in protest.
I was shocked: "...Girl, why do you carry such a small thing with you!" By the way, Medivh should be left to look after the house, right? So what's going on with this little crow in Qian Qian's pocket?!
"I borrowed it from Xiaoniao." He smiled lightly, with a heartless look on his face, picked up the little crow that was still "bah bah bah" and rubbed it on his face twice, "Dingdang talks to you every day.
People look envious when they are together."
A little head immediately popped out of my pocket: "So Jingle Bell is the most powerful! Everyone likes Jingle Bell!"
I was shocked again: "...Why did you come here too! Didn't you hear Bingtis say that the gods can't intervene in this matter?!"
Dingdang picked up the side of his pocket and turned to look at me in a difficult position: "Dingdang knows that, so Dingdang will try his best to sleep while Jun is fighting and will never help..."
"This...how did this happen from the beginning..." Shandora was busy testing the environmental parameters of the planet just now, but at this time she looked blankly at Qianqian, me and a certain three-inch Ding
"Do you still have a sense of urgency?"
"Dingdang recognizes the bed, I changed the place and couldn't sleep..." The little thing looked at Sandora timidly and muttered.
Without saying a word, I started to take off my coat, so the little thing continued: "It won't work even if it's hung on a hanger. Dingdang also recognizes the mattress..."
Me: "..." Have you ever seen a mattress placed on the back of the bed... No! I'm not a mattress, okay?!
Seeing the crazy look on my face, Shandora and Miss Lin let out a long sigh at the same time. The latter waved her hands with a tired look on her face: "Forget it, you should just carry this little thing, otherwise she will make trouble for you two.
Weekly. Anyway, I guess this little one is also a cute guy throughout the whole process."
"Then where should we go?" I shrugged, put the small thing on my head, and looked at the mountains in the distance. "We seem to have arrived at a place with a good environment. Either the Merova people here are highly aware of environmental protection.
, or it’s a non-industrial planet. Well, Sandora, please help scan where there are human gathering areas nearby.”
"Two kilometers due east, there is a small settlement," Sandora pointed casually, pointing to the foot of the mountains. "The probe has already gone over to investigate the situation. It seems to be a place where Merova's vassal race lives.
I saw pure-blood Merova people. But...this planet is full of weird things, and I saw a lot of disturbing sights."
"What?" I looked at Sandora curiously.
"No," Shandora smiled mysteriously. "You will know when we get there. The Merova people...are really boring guys."
I shrugged incomprehensibly and walked straight ahead in the direction indicated by Sandora. The distance of two kilometers was not too far. The scenery in this place was nice, so walking there was just for sightseeing. Qianqian and Lin Xue immediately followed happily.
Come up, these two people only think about having fun when they go out. They have never been serious sometimes. It’s just that Pandora and Viska, the short winter melons, don’t seem to be in high spirits: they always have a beautiful expectation in their hearts, that is
After leading the fleet here, they immediately engaged in a secret battle with the rebels. Now this beautiful dream seems to have to be postponed a little bit - I don't know if the war fanaticism of these two short winter melons can be cured. Intelligence collection and early deployment
This thing should be common sense in marching and fighting, right? Because it is a minicomputer, the thinking circuit was not installed enough when the unified machine was born...
Shandora has spread the probes all over the planet. Along the way, she is always analyzing the images sent back by the probes with a weird smile. When I ask her what's going on, she won't tell me - this actually discourages me from throwing it away myself.
A few probes went out to check Tan's mind. How should I put it? Sandora might have discovered something interesting, so she had to maintain this sense of mystery for the time being. There should be some surprises when they arrive at the settlement. Lin Xue was all the way.
She was just like someone who went out to enjoy the mountains and rivers. She was taking pictures here and there with her data terminal. She was also facing herself and taking pictures of herself with the mountains in the distance as the background. I went over to take a look and found her.
It is hanging on the xl-Shadow City channel. There is a line below the photo that was just posted: I am now in the hinterland of Melova. The enemy has not discovered us. This feeling of traveling behind enemy lines is really exciting~~
Please fans, please pay attention~~
My face was expressionless: "...your number of fans has exceeded the length of the screen. Are you still asking for fans?"
"You don't understand the fun of playing Weibo," Lin Xue said categorically, "As for the Shadow City Weibo channel founded by Qianqian, go to her."
I turned my head speechlessly and found that Qian Qian had gone to the bushes not far away to pick off the leaves again. This girl had been doing the same thing along the way: just like Shen Nong tasting hundreds of herbs, she went everywhere to pick out the strange-looking leaves.
Weeds and flowers. It’s just that Shen Nong ate it himself, and she fed it to the little crow in her arms. Speaking of which, this kind of mini crow god, which is smaller than Ding Dong, is a bunch of stupid guys, and they have no memory. As long as they are shallow
The little guy grabbed everything that came to his mouth and stuffed it into his mouth. But basically every time, he took two bites and spit it out: the food that grows on this planet.
Plants were obviously not to the little guy's taste. Qianqian kept enjoying it, so the little one in her arms also babbled all the way... By the way, this kind of memoryless and stubborn personality was really inherited from her mother.
.The little crow can’t sleep now if he doesn’t make a nest on the bed...
As for Lilina, who followed the crowd at the end, this girl kept talking all the way. She whispered to everyone, promoting her great plan to use religion to instigate rebellion against all Merova's servants: This guy's occupational disease is
I did it again. As long as I go to a new world, and the creatures in this new world are smart enough to understand her teachings, Lilina will fall into a complete missionary fanaticism. Sometimes I can’t stand being annoyed by her. I really want to
Ya put a bundle on the cross and burned it on the firewood for two days...it was so disturbing.
In this way, they walked leisurely all the way. When the sky became slightly darker, the settlement Shandora mentioned finally appeared in everyone's eyes: it turned out that this settlement was located in a slightly sunken area. It was completely visible from a distance.
not see.
Standing on the high ground on the edge of this settlement, we looked down at the village below. Except for Sandora and Lin Xue, two guys who knew everything, everyone fell into a daze.
Including Lilina, who never had much time to spare along the way.
"This is... this is the planet ruled by a super civilization with the ability to colonize across the universe..." Looking at the village below made of rough wood and adobe, as well as the primitive tools and clothing that can be seen everywhere in the village,
Lilina was dumbfounded by the indigenous residents who were dressed as if they had escaped from the Middle Ages. "I believe you when you say this is the film and television base of the Merova people. I'll just pretend that a costume film is being filmed here..."
Scratching her chin lightly, she had another idea: "Maybe this happens to be a backward mountainous area on the planet? Isn't there a tribe of primitive people on the earth now!"
"No, the entire planet is like this. Ninety-nine percent of the places on this planet where humans live are like this," Sandora breathed out. "This is a planet that remains in its primitive stage.
The highest creations of the indigenous people here are still wheels made of wood and wrought iron and mills driven by human power... They don't even know that the planet under their feet is round."
"But...how is this..." I feel that the situation in front of me is difficult to understand. If this is just a forgotten planet located in a desolate corner of the Merova universe, then everything is easy to understand. Most of the forgotten planets in remote areas have not accepted the influence of advanced civilizations.
Baptism, they have just emerged from the tribal stage in their native development - there are also a large number of such planets in the empire. It does not mean that as long as the empire rules the universe, every planet with people living in it will definitely be able to punch Ultraman Nandou and kick North
Tiannamec, in our database, there are a large number of civilizations in the clan stage, tribe stage or continental conquest stage living in the empire area. This is a normal phenomenon. However, this one...
"In the coordinate library of the fighter plane, this planet is clearly marked as a directly controlled planet. In other words, the Merova people directly rule this planet and have established a long-term planetary government here," Miss Lin said with a smile on her face.
He applied with great interest, "But you see, the indigenous people here seem to be living in the early feudal era. The Merova people deliberately keep this place in this state. What do you think they want to do?"
"Let's go down and have a look. Lin Xue's suggestion is right. The Merova people's behavior is really... interesting." Shandora said lightly, jumped off the high ground first, and appeared directly at the entrance of the village after a flash.
The crowd followed closely, and a group of people arrived at the entrance of this small settlement. I was not worried that such a sudden behavior of my group would cause any commotion: there was an indistinct golden shimmer in Sandora's hair,
She has distorted the perception of all nearby sane creatures. Now what she allows the other party to see is a disguise based on the subconscious mind of the affected person. This is a technique that fully utilizes the other party's brain to achieve disguise. When facing ordinary people,
Race can almost never be identified.
Two or three indigenous people who were walking through the village carrying tools saw us, but they were not surprised at all that so many people appeared out of thin air: in fact, in their eyes, our group was probably a natural sight from a distance.
Those who came over, they corrected all the inconsistencies in front of them through brainstorming.
A male villager in his forties or fifties who was wearing a brown coarse cloth coat and had a dark face said something to his companions and carried the tool in his hand (perhaps it was some kind of farm tool? Although it looked like a wooden stick with an iron hook)
He came to us and said kindly: "A traveler? It's getting late and you came to the village to spend the night?"
Before we spoke, the other party nodded: "Oh, so that's it. That's no problem. I'll go tell the village chief."
The villagers turned and walked away. Sandora shrugged at us: "We can do whatever we want. Our actions will always be reasonable in the eyes of the other party."
...So I often say that Sandora's abilities are bugs that cannot be overturned when facing slightly weaker enemies!
