It has been nearly five years since the Battle of Wien ended.
Four years ago, Emperor Imran of the Serra Empire sent a message requesting to sign a peace agreement with the Io Federation and willing to cede ten star systems close to the Io Federation. Queen Elfi immediately agreed to this request.
In fact, neither angels nor humans wanted to agree at first, but after learning from Basel that the Serra Empire still had two royal fleets and more than 4 million warships, they considered that they could win the opponent with a hard attack based on their strength at the time.
, but the loss to myself would not be small, so I finally agreed.
After all, time is on the side of humans and angels. As long as there are three to five years, the strength of humans and angels can be doubled several times. By then, destroying the Serra Empire can be done at a very small price. There is no need.
Do it forcefully when the time comes.
Taking advantage of the past few years, the Io Federation not only replenished the establishment of the First Legion of the Queen's Guards, but also established the Second and Third Legions of the Queen's Guards with the support of humans.
Currently, it has three legions of quasi-fourth-level battleships, with a total number of 900,000 battleships.
In addition to the Queen's Guard Fleet, the Io Federation has also modified a number of ordinary fleets, which only installed shield systems, but not jump systems, purely for defense of the border node star.
There are currently a total of four such fleets that have been modified and are stationed at four nodes on the latest border between the Io Federation and the Serra Empire.
It has to be said that in the past four years or so, the Io Federation has moved very quickly, especially the development of the battleship manufacturing industry is breathtaking. It is worthy of being an established third-level civilization.
At this moment, a fleet exited the jump state and appeared in the Io Federation capital circle.
This is the seventh fleet of the Second Legion of the Human Federation. The mission of coming to the Io Federation this time is to escort Bella and her son.
Speaking of Bella, the previous queen of the Io Federation has left the federation for ten years. Now Lin Tian is nine years old, so she specifically discussed it with Lin Zhen and wanted to take Lin Tian to visit the Io Federation.
look.
Lin Zhen naturally would not refuse this, and even asked Liang Xingchen to arrange a fleet to escort him.
Bella was also very emotional when she finally returned to Io. She never imagined that she would stay on Earth after just one visit, and even become a couple with Lin Zhen.
Now that I think about it, it seems that that guy was just bullying me because I didn’t know anything, and I was fooled by him because of my confusion. Now that I have rich knowledge, when I think about myself back then, I find it incredible.
The most exaggerated thing is that I actually said to Lin Fan back then, "Please help me give birth to a child". Now that I think about it, it is really embarrassing.
Through the porthole, looking at the Io star getting closer and closer, Bella also pulled Lin Tian and said to him.
"This is where my mother was born!"
"Mom, why is this planet green?"
Lin Tian asked Bella, pointing at the growing Io star in front of him.
Io is different from Earth. On Earth, the ocean accounts for more than half of the entire planet, while on Io, the ocean area is relatively small, only accounting for about 20%.
The most important thing is that Io, as the capital star of the Federation, has basically no industrial equipment on it. It has a good idea of nature protection. The entire planet is covered with dense vegetation, and tropical jungles can be seen everywhere.
Coupled with light refraction and many other reasons, the entire Io looks like it is glowing green.
"This is because the environment is different. You will learn it when you go to middle school!"
Bella said with a smile.
Just as the mother and son were looking at the Io star, an unexpected uninvited guest arrived!
About 5 million kilometers away from the Seventh Fleet, the void suddenly shrank, and a strange fleet of about 1,200 spacecraft appeared.
Suddenly, the siren sounded throughout the entire Seventh Fleet. On the bridge, Captain Scott knew very well that this was a jump engine!
However, in the entire Orion Arm, the only ones with jump engines, apart from humans and angels, are human affiliated civilizations and the Babavi Empire.
However, after comparison, there is no record of the appearance of these spaceships in the database, so the answer is obvious. This is most likely a fleet of the Babavi Empire.
"Commander Scott, what happened?"
At this time, Bella also brought Lin Tian to the bridge and asked Scott.
"First Lady Bella, a fleet suddenly appeared not far from us, and it came here through the jump engine."
As Scott spoke, he controlled the projection of the observed fleet image.
The moment Bella saw it, her eyes suddenly shrank. She had an impression of this fleet and had seen it once decades ago.
"This is the fleet of the Babavi Empire, but this is not their battle fleet, but a fleet of interstellar merchants!"
"Interstellar Merchant?"
Scott was a little confused, after all, humans do not have such a profession.
"Yes, the kind of businessman who runs around on the Orion Arm and does business with various civilizations!"
Listening to Bella's words, Scott breathed a sigh of relief, but then he remembered something and frowned again.
Even if you are a businessman, you cannot expose yourself, otherwise the news will reach the ears of the Babavi Empire.
"First Lady Bella, at the moment we cannot be overly exposed to the gaze of the Babawe Empire. We have to trouble you to talk to Queen Elfi. Just pretend that we are an ordinary third-level civilized fleet!"
Scott thought for a moment and then said to Bella.
"Okay, I'll contact Alfie to tell me the situation!"
Bella then picked up the communicator and contacted Alfie.
Five million kilometers away, on the flagship of the Babawi Empire's caravan, Baba Weiler was also observing the fleet next to it, which was obviously not the Io Federation.
"Lord Baba Weiler, after comparing the database, we found that this fleet is different from any civilization we know! There is no record in our database!"
Listening to the report from his men, Baba Weiler was a little surprised.
Looking at the observed images, the composition of this fleet is very similar to that of the Babavi Empire fleet, that is, a unified ship type, which is also a sign of a fourth-level civilization.
After all, after the fourth-level civilization has energy shields and jump engines, multiple ship types have no meaning at all, and only civilizations below level four will use multiple ship types to cooperate in combat.
Could this be the mysterious fourth-level civilization Imran mentioned? It couldn't be such a coincidence, right?
"Record everything about this fleet in detail, use all available scanning methods in turn, and record all data into the database."
