1977. Borg-Ray Incident
Tang Xiao let out a burst of hearty laughter. He patted Nuruodo family on the shoulder and said, "They say it's difficult to recover from overflowing water, but in fact, it doesn't seem that difficult here... Hahahaha."
Nuruodo family looked at the wine in his glass. There were still some impurities floating in the originally delicious wine, some of which were the saliva in his mouth, and some of which were brought in along with the things on the table.
His face turned a little pale, but he still gritted his teeth, raised his head and drank the disgusting glass of wine.
At this time, Nuruodo family and Csapla family looked at each other, and they realized that this Grand Duke of Dawn did not seem to be as easy to get along with as he had shown just now.
Seeing the two of them finish a glass of wine each, the seemingly naughty and cynical smile on Tang Xiao's face suddenly disappeared. He glanced coldly at the two of them, put down the glass, and walked towards the other end of the dining table.
He was not walking very fast. Only then did Representative Chiss notice that the table they had just been taken to eat by Tang Xiao was a huge long table more than ten meters long.
At this moment, Tang Xiao had walked to the other side of the long table and sat down on his own throne. Erlang's legs were slightly raised, and his hands were placed on the armrests. On both sides of his back, two huge Duchy of Dawn flags slowly fell.
This is a flag with a red edge and a blue background, and a white Milky Way cantilever in the middle - Duchy of Dawn, which is also the flag of Fourth Civilization!
And the man sitting in the middle is not the gangster who just laughed and hugged their shoulders and invited them to drink, but... is the controller and ruler of the power represented by this flag, Dictator——Grand Duke of Dawn, Tang Xiao!
"Do you know? It took Chiss three years to be willing to come here and drink the glass of wine I gave you. Sometimes, this really makes me feel, am I a failure?" Tang Xiao said slowly, with a cold smile on his lips. The sharp eyes kept passing over the representatives of Chiss, making them feel as if they were being cut by sharp swords. "I just got a very interesting gift. I think... you probably don't want to see that thing, so it appears in Chiss territory."
Nuruodo family and Csapla family suddenly broke into cold sweat and didn't know what to say for a while. They didn't know what the gift Tang Xiao was talking about, but judging from his tone, it was definitely something very, very bad!
And more importantly, the two glasses of wine Tang Xiao just invited them to drink, and the two names he mentioned were extremely, extremely bad hints!
Sefrans-Tann and Mis-Ro-Nurudo [Note 1], these two names mean that Duchy of Dawn can intervene in the family affairs of Chiss territory. Whether it is under the banner of avenging Seff family and rebuilding the glory of the family, or under the banner of Nuruodo family colluding with the Galactic Empire, it is enough for Duchy of Dawn's fleet to directly break through the star gate and reach Csilla!
Yeah... Stargate.
Chiss territory may not be afraid of the Galactic Empire, but they must be afraid of Duchy of Dawn. Because Galactic Empire cannot pose a direct threat to them at all, but Duchy of Dawn can!
This is the reason why the representative of Chiss is standing here extremely humblely.
"Grand Duke Pavilion... Your Excellency..." Nuruodo family originally wanted to say Your Excellency, but quickly changed his mind mid-sentence, "Chiss territory has been living a life of peace with the world in 'Chaos' for thousands of years... We are indeed not ready to face this galaxy..."
Csapla family also said, "Moreover... signing this agreement also means breaking Chiss territory's thousands of years of law, allowing our fleet to be in an offensive posture and proactively initiate battles..."
Their current feelings can be said to be mixed.
Because three years ago, when Duchy of Dawn's Exploration Fleet arrived at the edge of Chiss territory, everything was doomed.
In the aftermath of the reflection, they also understood that the arrival of Duchy of Dawn was not the so-called luring the wolf into the house. It did not mean that it could be solved by hiding their heads and acting like ostriches at that time. Even if Admiral Qiyala did not communicate with Exploration Fleet, Exploration Fleet's position at that time was actually outside Chiss territory.
Duchy of Dawn From that moment on, I came prepared. And with the terrifying technology of Stargate, their invasion of 'Chaos' is simply unstoppable.
They are not the only civilization in the star field where Chiss territory is located. Because this star field is a relatively stable part of hyperspace in Unknown Regions, even if they do not come into contact with Chiss territory, there is a high possibility that they will come into contact with other civilizations.
As they said at the first cabinet meeting about Duchy of Dawn, they should feel lucky that Duchy of Dawn came directly to them.
Therefore, the construction of the Star Gate was finally completed within 5 standard months after that, connecting the abandoned planet Masos on the edge of Chiss territory and the capital of Duchy of Dawn, Dawn Star Planet.
When the first Duchy of Dawn fleet came to Chiss territory through the star gate under the guise of a delegation visit, Chiss had no choice.
But despite this, Chiss territory still has great resistance to surrendering directly to Duchy of Dawn. They were unwilling to become Duchy of Dawn's vassals. At the same time, Duchy of Dawn also adhered to the diplomatic strategy of influencing but not intervening, which allowed the loose alliance between the two parties to continue until now three years later.
But now... things are different.
Tang Xiao sat on the throne and said with a sneer, "Can't you initiate a fight? Hahahaha... The colonists on the planet Bogo-rai don't think so."
"The Borg-Lei planet incident... it was an accident..." Nuruodo family broke out in cold sweat.
In fact, this incident was the reason why they traveled all the way through the Star Gate to Dawn Star Planet. And Chiss sent a delegation composed of the two largest families to come to Duchy of Dawn, and the political significance is very obvious.
This will make the political connection between Chiss territory and Duchy of Dawn even closer. With the huge gap in strength between the two sides, this approach means that Chiss territory will gradually become a vassal of Duchy of Dawn and will no longer be able to struggle.
The Borg-Lei planet... was originally supposed to be a desolate planet.
After Chiss territory and Duchy of Dawn signed an agreement and began to clear out the planets eroded by God of Decay-Mongolian Gal-Mongolian Gal one by one, Duchy of Dawn sent a small fleet to Chiss territory for reinforcements.
At the request of Chiss territory, this fleet was not very powerful, but it mainly sent more than 20 Crusader-class frigate ships specially used for Orbital Bombardment, plus several Kohl-class Battlecruiser ships to escort.
Then, with Chiss Defense Fleet of Chiss territory as the core and Duchy of Dawn fleet as the auxiliary, the two sides began to clean up the planets where Gal-Meng Gal appeared one by one.
Things were going smoothly at first. As the cooperation between the two parties deepened, the fleet sent by Duchy of Dawn became larger and larger. After arriving, there were already 10 kilometer-class battleships permanently stationed at Chiss territory.
As a result, one day, Chiss Defense Fleet cleaned up a planet called Borg-Lei based on the data in their internal database. On this planet, it is said that several spacecraft hijacked by Meng Gal-Meng Gal have crashed, and Meng Gal-Meng Gal is likely to be lurking among them.
Mon Gal - The most disgusting thing about Mon Gal is that they can split into countless tiny filamentous structures and then penetrate deep into the soil. This is absolutely impossible to guard against.
In the other direction, First Exploration Fleet, Ssi-ruuvi Imperium's former capital, Levik planet, the reason why the situation has gone from bad to worse in the past three years, and infected people from Mongolian Gal-Mongolian Gal continue to appear, is for this reason. Even though there are already tens of millions of B-1 combat robots patrolling Levik planet, the number of people who have been purified and purified due to the infection from Gal-Mongolian Gal in three years still exceeds 1 billion!
Therefore, for this Borg-Lei planet, which is likely to be infested by Mongolian Gal-Mongolian Gal and is also a desolate planet, Orbital Bombardment is the most appropriate method.
So under the order of Chiss Defense Fleet Admiral of the Navy Eliz-Al-Alani-Ziyala, the Chiss territory-Duchy of Dawn combined fleet launched a Orbital Bombardment attack on the planet.
Duchy of Dawn Crusader-class frigate is a warship specially designed to perform this kind of conventional bombing, Orbital Bombardment is not enough for this level of low-intensity Orbital Bombardment mission.
Under the Crusader-level bombing, mushroom clouds were set off on the surface of the planet.
As usual, Orbital Bombardment will last for more than a week. During this period, the combined fleet will guard in place.
However, a problem arises!
On the third day of the bombing, the combined fleet suddenly intercepted a distress message! The sending location is the Borg-Thunder planet!!!
There are colonies on the planet!
Admiral Qiyala quickly ordered the bombing to stop and immediately conducted a comprehensive and detailed scan of the planet. As a result, she finally discovered that there were seven small colonies beneath the surface of the planet!
And five of the colonies have been destroyed by Orbital Bombardment!!
But that's not the worst case scenario. Two days later, a small fleet of five cruisers appeared here. They claimed that the destroyed colony belonged to them——
Grysk Hegemony (The Grysk Hegemony)!
When this news came, even Admiral Ziyala was stunned!
Grysk Hegemony, this is one of the civilizations in the star field Chiss territory, and it is definitely a very unfriendly one! Not only unfriendly, but mysterious.
This is a huge hegemony composed of Grysk as the core and many vassal races as wings. The power of Grysk, even among Unknown Regions, is recognized as powerful. Some people even call Grysk a 'legendary species' [Note 2]!
What's even more frightening is that no one in Unknown Regions knows where Homeworld of Grysk Hegemony is, or whether they have Homeworld. Judging from Grysk Hegemony's behavior, many people tend to think that they are a nomadic starship civilization.
This is definitely something Chiss territory doesn't want to mess with!
But now, their fleet actually bombed Grysk Hegemony's colony? Why would a nomadic starship civilization establish colonies?
However, things are not over yet.
Just when Admiral Qiyala immediately reported what happened here to Chiss Dominion Supreme Cabinet, on the other side, the menacing Commander, who was exactly Grysk Hegemony Fleet who came to investigate, had already started a quarrel with Duchy of Dawn Second Exploration Fleet's deputy commander, Kace-T-Maxwell!
Both sides refused to give in, and the quarrel became increasingly fierce. Then...Grysk Hegemony's battleship opened fire first!
Duchy of Dawn Second Exploration Fleet didn't care what legendary species or starship civilization, Lieutenant General Brent immediately gave the order, and Hypermatter Railgun of Kohl-class Battlecruiser tore these cruisers to pieces in a short time!
Admiral Qiyala almost went crazy when he saw this scene! She felt like her brain was almost going to explode!
With Grysk Hegemony's behavior, this matter will definitely never end! No... this is not a problem that they can solve by settling accounts... this is simply the beginning of a war!
A war initiated by Chiss territory!
The Borg-Lei incident can be said to have overturned all the traditions of Chiss for thousands of years. Because Chiss's national policy and foreign strategy is always based on defense and preemptive strikes, they are absolutely unwilling to provoke some powerful enemies that they should not provoke in a place full of unknowns like 'Chaos'.
And this is also an important reason why Chiss territory has been able to develop to this day and has the strongest power among 'Chaos'.
But now, Chiss territory actually started a war! This is a subversion of their thousands of years of tradition!
Admiral Qiyala immediately called a shuttle to Lieutenant General Brent's flagship and asked them why they opened fire on Grysk Hegemony's warship. However, Lieutenant General Brent told him that it was the other party who fired first.
"Grysk Hegemony, don't care about who fired first!" Admiral Qiyala dropped this sentence angrily and quickly led the fleet back to Chiss capital Csilla.
On the way, Lieutenant General Brent told Admiral Qiyala that there was no need to be afraid, because Chiss territory now had Duchy of Dawn covering his back.
Immediately afterwards that night, Chiss Dominion Supreme Cabinet held another all-night meeting. The result of the meeting was this - Csapla family and Nuruodo family were immediately dispatched to visit Duchy of Dawn through the star gate.
At the same time, Admiral Qiyala immediately mobilized all the forces of Chiss Defense Fleet to strictly guard the border to prevent a sneak attack by Grysk Hegemony.

[Note 1: Mis-Ro-Nurudo is Thrawn Thrawn Thrawn, don't forget it. Because in formal occasions, he should be called by his full name instead of the core name Thrawn, so I will use it often in the future.]
[Note 2: Grysk only exists in novels and has no pictures, so I don't know what it looks like.]
Let me explain why there are always some repeated content every day...
The main reason is that it's hard for me to fish when I'm working now. There seems to be some improvement at work recently. A leader who treats me well has taken over, which makes me feel like I can still pursue something. So my work enthusiasm has been quite high recently...
And when it comes to Homeworld, I usually start writing after I put my son to bed. I usually take him to take a bath at 9 o'clock. After the bath is finished around 9:30, the mother takes over to put the child to sleep, and then I start writing the book.
Generally speaking, two chapters of 4,000 words will take about two to three hours, and it will be longer if there are some jams in the middle.
So I often can't finish writing after twelve o'clock. In order to maintain perfect attendance, I repeat a little content, but I can usually finish it and update it around twelve thirty.
Therefore, it may often affect the reading quality of friends who subscribed for the first time, so please forgive me.
