Ever since the Scorpion Star Bandits first appeared on the first main spiral arm, Guren had speculated whether this was caused by humans.
He also has some basis for this guess.
First, apart from humans, he could not think of any other civilization that could go directly from the Orion arm to the main spiral arm without relying on wormholes.
Second, according to the empire's intelligence department, the Scorpion Star Thief Group was first born more than two hundred years ago, and its main members are humans.
But now the various news reported by the intelligence minister made him a little confused again.
This poisonous scorpion pirate ship has appeared in communications several times.
From the communication records that have survived, it can be clearly seen that there is no trace of humans at all on the entire bridge, and it should still be composed of multiple civilizations.
Because in the screen of the bridge, we saw more than twenty different races.
Moreover, the scenes in these communication records have been carefully analyzed by the empire to rule out the possibility that they are false scenes or that the missions in them have been disguised.
What's more important.
During the plundering process, many members of the Scorpion Star Pirates also forcibly boarded the ship, and these people were also not human.
There are no humans on the bridge and no humans among the soldiers.
So, this is not the work of humans?
Well, even if it wasn't caused by humans, as the Minister of Intelligence said, what's even weirder is...
No matches could be found for these races that had appeared in the imperial database.
Guren asked himself, the empire database should be complete enough, let alone the second, third and fourth level civilization.
Even if it is a first-level civilization in the Milky Way, there should be no flaws.
But what is the situation with these more than twenty races of different civilizations that suddenly appeared?
Could it be that he encountered the legendary invasion of alien galaxy civilization?
"Seth, can the local fleet organize an encirclement and suppression campaign?"
I thought about it in my mind for a long time, but still to no avail.
Immediately, Guren looked at Seth.
If you don't understand, then don't think about it. If you catch this group of people and interrogate them, you will naturally find out.
After all, it is just a group of star thieves with only about a hundred battleships, and it is a huge fourth-level civilization empire.
Isn't it easy to encircle and arrest these star thieves?
"Your Majesty, this...is a bit difficult!"
"Difficulty? A hundred shabby battleships, you tell me there are some difficulties?"
Hearing Seth's answer, Guren was furious and pointed at the damaged battleship on the virtual screen beside him and shouted.
"Your Majesty, you should remember that the Scorpion Star bandits invaded our territory a month ago and looted an administrative star, right?"
"Yes, isn't that why we are here discussing how to deal with them?"
"Your Majesty, that is an administrative star!"
Seth spoke again meaningfully.
At this time, Guren reacted.
Yes, that's an executive star!
According to the establishment of the Kaili Empire, the fleet is divided into three categories.
The first category is the garrison fleet, which consists of three fleets, each with a size of one thousand battleships.
Back then, the fleet that Tyro brought to the Orion Arm was one of them.
This is the most powerful fleet in the empire. Its warships are also modeled after the Star Sea Federation and are a general-purpose warship built by integrating all the latest technologies of the empire.
Although one of the three fleets was lost due to Taylor's failure.
But over the years, the First Garrison Fleet has finally been rebuilt.
Therefore, there are still three imperial garrison fleets.
The second category is the main fleet.
Currently, the number of main battleships in the empire is officially 32,000.
As for secretly...
The last category is the guard fleet.
What is a guard fleet? It is a low-cost, castrated version of a battleship.
You must know that a civilization, especially a fourth-level civilization empire like the Kerry Empire, has a very large territory.
Even for the empire's own fleet, it usually takes several days or even more than ten days to get from one end to the other.
Therefore, you cannot expect to send a fleet to deal with it every time something goes wrong.
This is unrealistic, and tens of thousands of warships cannot take care of the tens of thousands or even tens of thousands of star systems within the territory.
It is not necessarily necessary to break the entire fleet into parts and deploy one battleship in each star system.
If you don’t want to break it into parts, that’s fine too.
Build enough battleships and you're done.
But it’s a pity that we can’t afford it!
Because you have to build at least hundreds of thousands of warships to have enough.
But hundreds of thousands of main warships can be built...
Therefore, usually after level three civilization, the concept of guard fleet is naturally born.
Take the Kerry Empire as an example. The size of its guard fleet has now reached 300,000 warships.
However, as mentioned before, the warships of the guard fleet are a castrated version. Their comprehensive combat power is probably equivalent to that of a third-level civilization, and there is no energy shield.
In order to effectively manage this huge territory, the empire also divided it into administrative regions. The scope of each administrative region is usually 8-10 light years.
Moreover, guard warships ranging from hundreds to thousands are deployed on each administrative star.
Ensure that if there is a problem anywhere in the administrative region, this fleet can reach it within a single jump.
Therefore, Guren already understood what Seth meant.
That's right, the planet that was plundered was an administrative star!
Moreover, it is also an administrative star stationed with 800 guard warships.
Although guard warships are rubbish, 800 guard warships are enough to easily sweep through a third-level civilization, let alone a star bandit group with only a hundred warships.
But unfortunately, this administrative star was still robbed...
Speaking of which, I really didn't read the report carefully at that time. After all, I had too many things to do, and I didn't pay too much attention to the matter of a group of star thieves.
But now, Guren felt something was wrong.
"Seth, tell us about that battle in detail!"
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
A few minutes later...
"You're saying that the other side killed 800 of our guard warships without even damaging a single warship."
"And, all the warships of the Scorpion Star Bandits have shields?"
After listening to the report, Gu Lein was also a little uneasy.
Being able to defeat more with less than eight times the force difference, even though it is only to guard warships, it can do so without causing any damage...
Plus it has energy shield technology.
What is this if not level four civilization?
"Seth, are you sure that this Scorpion Star bandit group has nothing to do with humans?"
"Judging from the information we have received so far, this is indeed the case."
Seth nodded and said.
He has also struggled with this issue, but the problem is that every piece of information he gets proves...
This Scorpion Star Thief Group really has nothing to do with humans.
After hearing Seth's affirmative answer, Gurren also began to think deeply.
It has nothing to do with humans. Could it be that there is a fourth-level civilization hidden in the galaxy, or...
Is this really an invasion from a galactic civilization?
