Just when Jiang Xingchen was making various preparations for the 1,700 light-year expedition.
Flooding star system, Snow star.
"Commander, a minute ago we received a distress signal from the Kalandor civilization. One of their merchant fleets was attacked by the Scorpion pirate group when passing by the Yutian star system."
"Are the Kalando people's minds filled with shit? I've said it countless times, don't go near the Yutian star system!"
Hearing this, Kyle started scolding him directly.
Even though you know that the Scorpion Pirates are in the Yutian star system, you still go that route. Isn't this sick?
Now that we are more than 1,700 light years away, how can we save ourselves?
By the time you get there, the grass on your graves will be covered with grass, okay...
As for the Scorpion Pirates, I have no time to pay attention to them now. After solving the problems of the Starry Sky Zerg and humans, I will have to deal with them sooner or later.
"Reply them, we currently do not have excess troops, let them seek rescue from other civilizations nearby."
"Commander, wouldn't this be good?"
"What's wrong? How dare you be dissatisfied with a piece of rubbish from a third-level elementary civilization?"
"However, according to the Subordinate Civilization Treaty..."
"Damn the treaty, just reply as I say, and I'll be responsible for anything that happens!"
"It's...commander!"
Seeing Kyle's impatient look, the adjutant did not dare to say anything more.
Although there is some violation of the treaty, the problem is not big. After all, it is more than 1,700 light-years away and there is no way to save it.
It's just that my commander's reply was a bit...
Forget it, I am just a small character who follows orders, why do I have to worry so much?
Shaking his head, the adjutant quickened his pace and replied according to Kyle's wishes.
------
At the same time, more than 1,700 light-years away.
Near the Yutian star system.
Although Kalandor is a third-level civilization, it is only a third-level elementary civilization, and they are not a fleet, but a caravan.
In addition to the three destroyers and more than ten frigates responsible for the escort, the remaining more than 100 ships are cargo ships without any combat effectiveness.
At this moment, more than half of the more than ten warships responsible for escorting have been lost, and only six ships are still struggling to support themselves. All of them are injured. It is only a matter of time.
What besieged them was a fleet armed to the teeth, with hundreds of battleships all painted red, and there was even a cruiser among them.
This is simply not something that the dozen or so escort warships of the Calanddos can resist.
"Chief, the other party has issued a surrender request, saying that as long as we can let them live, all the goods will be given to you and us."
"Reply them, we will send people to the ship to inventory the cargo, and as long as they don't do anything stupid, we will let them go afterwards!"
"Chief, do you really want to let them go?"
On the side, the younger brother looked at the leader in surprise and asked.
Isn't it the rule of the leader of his family to always leave no one behind?
Why did you suddenly become kind today?
This is so unaccustomed!
"Did I say you are stupid?"
"If we don't accept surrender, what will we do if they blow up all the cargo ships?"
"As for people..."
"Just make sure you get the goods before you kill them!"
hiss...
Hearing what the leader said, the younger brother was also shocked.
Can it still be done like this?
Speaking of which, chief, don’t you always say that even if we are pirates, we must have credibility?
"Why are you standing there? Why don't you reply quickly? If they blow up the cargo ship later, I will throw you into space!"
"Chief, please don't, I will go immediately and reply immediately!!!"
Looking at his younger brother walking away, the leader sitting on the captain's chair also sighed.
"I don't know if there is anything the old man wants in the goods this time..."
If Jiang Xingchen were here right now, he would definitely be surprised.
Because, everyone in the bridge of this cruiser...
All are human beings.
------
More than twenty days later.
1,700 light years. According to the speed of the fleet, the maximum jump distance per time is 5 light years, and the jump engine charging time is 40 minutes.
In other words, the entire voyage would take more than nine days, even without any stops.
Of course, it's impossible to do it without stopping. After all, there are more than 300 jumps along the way. If you want to do it without stopping, no one can handle it.
Therefore, including the rest time, it will take about a month to complete the 1,700 light-year journey.
And just when Jiang Xingchen was on his way with the fleet.
Something went wrong on the Death Nebula side, but it wasn't the Canglan system that had trouble, but...
Something happened to the survey fleet composed of the four major civilizations!
A large number of insect graves suddenly burst out of the passage they were investigating, more than 800 in number, catching the survey fleet by surprise.
Not only are there a large number of worm mounds, there is also a super giant worm mound with a diameter of ten kilometers.
Tens of millions of war insects swept in, covering the sky and the sun, and there were even hundreds of thousands of tail scorpions, one after another, constantly releasing energy bombs.
Speaking of which, they have information on the war bugs and are not too afraid. Anyway, they just need to use the remote output and that's it.
But this was the first time they had seen a scorpion.
Although, the energy bombs of the threat insects are not a big threat to the battleships of their fourth-level civilization.
Of course, this threat does not necessarily refer to a single scorpion, but if hundreds of thousands of scorpions attack together, that is not the case.
Quantitative changes led to qualitative changes. Facing a salvo of hundreds of thousands of energy bombs, several frigates were directly hit by too many bullets, their shields were exhausted in an instant, and they were immediately blown up.
This time, they were really frightened, and they requested support from their own civilization through various channels.
The four major civilizations who received the news were also shocked.
Immediately, all the garrison troops in the Floodlight star system were asked to dispatch, and the affiliated civilization fleets stationed in the surrounding star systems were also ordered to also dispatch.
Although the strength of these attached civilization fleets is very poor, they can still be used as fire support.
The key is...
If things go wrong, you can even use them to come to the rear to ensure the evacuation of the fleets of the four major civilizations, right?
As for whether to send fleets into the Orion Arm from the Galactic Center Channel to provide support, the four major civilizations are still discussing, and we need to wait and see the next development.
After all, with wormhole support, it would take a full month just to travel through the wormhole.
In other words, it is possible that the support fleet is still floating in the wormhole, and the Orion arm has been completely destroyed.
Therefore, whether to support or not depends on the outcome of this battle.
If it is blocked, then the fleet will definitely be sent to support in the follow-up. If it cannot be resisted...
The four major civilizations have even made preparations to abandon the Orion Arm and deploy heavy troops at the wormhole entrance of the Galactic Center Channel to prevent it from spreading to the four main spiral arms.
------
A few hours later.
As fleets from nearby star systems continued to come to support, although more than half of the casualties were suffered, it was still able to survive.
At this time, the four major civilization fleets stationed in the floodlight star system finally arrived.
But the next moment, Mahidi made a move that surprised everyone.
The war bugs begin to return to their nests...
The tail scorpions also began to return to their nests...
Immediately, more than 800 insect graves were discovered along the original passage...
