2026, secret operation
"Chasdemonus Route... I will immediately deploy drones for investigation." Admiral Qiyala said seriously, "As long as Agbui's home star can be found, it will be equivalent to breaking one of Grysk Hegemony's arms. But before that, I will lead the main force of the combined fleet to solve the problem of Illumine Kingdom of Kilji."
Tang Xiao nodded and said, "You can decide this matter yourself."
"Chasdemonus Route, let's go." A deep voice came from his mind. Tang Xiao turned his head, only to see that the person speaking was Dark Templar Oola-Khan.
In the previous discussion, he and another woman Dark Templar Sola-A remained silent throughout the entire process and did not participate. But now, they put forward their ideas directly.
Sola-Aye said, "If Agbui's home star is very far away, the drone detection efficiency will be extremely low. If we go there, we can investigate in secret without worrying about being controlled by Grysk."
Tang Xiao thought for a while and said, "Okay. Then this task will be left to you."
"Ul'as... addari" (Follow your wishes) Oola-Khan said, and his and Sola-A's figures disappeared like bubbles.
"Let's start taking action too! Grysk Hegemony's threat must be resolved once and for all!" Tang Xiao stood up and said sternly.
Their deployment has been completed. Since Grysk's home planet cannot be found now, let's solve the immediate problem first.
Admiral Qiyala leads the combined fleet to attack the invading fleet of Illumine Kingdom of Kilji. High Templar Rassidan will assist her in her actions and ensure that she will not be affected by Grysk who may be hiding.
Lieutenant General Brent is still sitting behind Csilla, and all the warships captured from Jikstus are under his temporary command. After the repairs and maintenance of these warships are completed, the warships will be assigned to Chiss territory's newly emerged organizations similar to trade unions.
Coupled with the existence of Eternal Super Carrier, Csilla's defense can be said to be rock solid. Because this time Jikstus jumped directly into Csilla, which also sounded the alarm for them. In other words, Grysk can also cross the chaotic hyperspace channel through unknown means.
High Templar Rosales went to Crustai, continued to assist Anita, develop Holy Advent Cult, and continued to study the captured Grysk, and Agbui.
And Kace-Maxwell was finally liberated. He was no longer restricted to the command center to command the fleet. The current task is to drive his Stetheus-class cruiser and look for possible traces of Grysk around Chiss territory.
Although there are no more high-ranking Templars now, to ensure his safety, there are still four protoss zealot warriors working with him. Although the protoss fanatic warriors are far from having the same spiritual abilities as the high-level templars, at least they can still sense the control of the Grisk people. Once they find that the situation is not good, they will immediately protect Case and leave.
Tang Xiao will drive Red Comet III to the direction of Catlia (Catlia) on the east side of Chiss territory, because although Chiss does not know the specific location of Killiks, it probably still knows that they are on the east side of Chiss territory. Catlia is the eastern border planet of Chiss territory, and there are often reports of Killiks appearing here.
Tang Xiao is stationed at Catlia, mainly here to find ways to have in-depth contact with Killiks. On the one hand, he wants to use Killiks to deal with Grysk Hegemony. On the other hand, this race is also the target of in-depth research for him.
After all, although Killiks has degenerated into a very savage and backward insect swarm, the traces of Celestial Ones on them will never be erased so easily.
Since the last time he accidentally came into contact with the Ones's 'father', Tang Xiao has been full of fear of them.
35,000 years ago, Killiks suddenly degenerated and declined. This incident was almost certainly done by the Ones, but how they did it, Tang Xiao must figure out. Because he is also very worried that the same method will befall Fourth Civilization.
Their respective arrangements have been determined. Since Jikstus was defeated and Tang Xiao was affected by Grysk's unknown means at that moment, and then Illumine Kingdom of Kilji declared war on Chiss territory and Duchy of Dawn, this war was destined not to end in a short time.
The danger of Grysk Hegemony has become extremely serious. Before the real falling out with the Galactic Empire, Tang Xiao must also solve this time bomb!
12BBY, April 3.
Southwest Territory, Mid Rim Territories Edge, Chalseden Planet (Chalcedon).
This planet is located between Cerea and Gran's home star Kinyen, and is located on the most important hyperspace route of Duchy of Dawn Hoth Sector - Great Gran Run (Great Gran Run).
Great Gran Run is a waterway discovered and extensively developed and utilized by Gran, who has a very broad influence in this star area. This waterway connects Cerea and Kinyen. And Cerea is Modell Sector's gateway to the main region of the Milky Way.
In addition, at the other end of the channel is the northern border of Duchy of Dawn - the planet Yago-Dur.
Therefore, the importance of Great Gran Run is self-evident. For Hoth Sector, one of the three major star districts of Duchy of Dawn, Great Gran Run is the most important traffic lifeline and lifeline!
However, in this now very prosperous hyperspace channel, Chalseden Planet is not a very eye-catching planet. Because this planet, which is mainly composed of Rock and volcanoes, is not suitable for life.
However, intelligent life is always full of creativity. Twenty-five thousand years ago, when Infinite Empire rose, Rakatan built a military base on Chalseden Planet. However, with the defeat of the Infinite Empire, the military base on this planet was also abandoned.
Hundreds of years ago, some smugglers established a colony on this planet based on the Infinite Empire's Relics. After a long period of development and growth, Chalseden Planet became a very famous slave trading center in the underground world.
The huge profits brought by the slave trade allowed the slave owners on Chalseden Planet to make a lot of money, and the colonies on the planet also developed to fourteen. This is because the Infinite Empire Relics currently available is exactly fourteen seats.
Although there is nothing of value in these Relics, smugglers and slave traders can still use the high-end technology of Rakatan to build military base buildings that can isolate the erosion of volcanoes on the planet and transform them into settlements suitable for people to live.
When Fourth Civilization defeated Galactic Republic's 19th Army and occupied Chalseden Planet, the total population on the planet was approximately between 10 million and 60 million, because the floating population was too large to be counted.
It's just an occupation, but for this planet with little resource value, Hoth Sector's then governor Graham didn't spend much effort to develop it, but let it go. In short, you slave owners just don't come and influence Fourth Civilization.
However, things suddenly changed three years ago, in 15BBY.
An extremely large company suddenly descended on Chalseden Planet without warning and built their base here.
Chalseden Planet The slave trading ecosystem that has lasted for hundreds of years has also become fragmented due to the advent of this company.
Chalseden Planet, Colony Seven.
A Bosa dressed as a mercenary came to a bar, leaned against the bar, ordered a glass of red wine for himself, and while drinking, he looked at Tirreck dancers who was doing a striptease on the stage.
Next to it, a drunk security guard was telling everyone about the past. He was bragging about the brutal battle when Fourth Civilization attacked Eriadu eight years ago.
Red wine is a popular low-alcohol fruit wine in the Duchy of Dawn range and is popular because of its mellow taste. Moreover, this kind of red wine is not expensive, and workers, mercenaries and the like all like to have a few glasses of it in their leisure time.
The bartender filled a large glass with purple-red red wine, and then slid the glass directly over to the Bosa mercenary's hand. He was talkative and spoke naturally, "Sir, it seems that you often come to Duchy of Dawn to do business?"
Bosa smiled faintly, "Haha, how do you know I don't live in Duchy of Dawn?"
"Haha, that's because you ordered red wine but didn't light a cigar for yourself." The bartender began to clean the plate, "Did you know that in the history of Dawn Star Planet, wine and cigars were once luxury goods. Because the raw materials of these two things... well, grapes and cigarettes The leaves require a relatively picky environment to grow in order to achieve the best results. At that time, the only way to achieve the best climate conditions was to pray for God's blessing. Therefore, the wine and cigars made from the small amount of grapes and tobacco leaves grown in the best environment at the right time became luxury goods.
"Hehehe..." Bosa smiled and asked, "What about now?"
"Now? Ha, every day can be the most suitable climate." The bartender smiled and pulled out a cigar from under the bar. "How about one? It only costs 20 points of Number Four currency. We also accept Imperial credits, and the ratio to Number Four currency is one to five."
As he spoke, he pointed to the poster on the wall next to him and said, "Have a cigar and you will be like the most powerful warrior in the galaxy - Indjori, invincible! Hahaha. I think you guys will like it very much as mercenaries."
"I don't want to get involved with a Indjori." Bosa changed his posture and nudged a small team on the other side of the bar with his chin. Among the team, there was a person wearing heavy combat armor. The Indjori mercenary said, "That guy, 'Wrath' Traak, got high from smoking a cigar last month, and ended up crushing the head of one of his Rodian companions."
"Haha, sir, we all know this. It seems like you really come to our place often." The bartender laughed again, "But you don't often visit the late-night bar across the street, do you? I must say that their wine is watered down."
Bosa glanced at the bartender, suddenly showed a strange smile, and said, "No... I often go to the one two blocks away, Royal No. 4 Bar."
The bartender's expression suddenly changed, and he lowered his voice and said, "If you are involved with 'them'... I suggest you leave here."
Bosa didn't know when there were a few more Imperial credit ingots in his hand. He pushed it over without leaving a trace and whispered, "I know, Royal No. 4 Bar was stepped on. There used to be the largest slave liquor store in this colony. Well, the boss has more than 200 subordinates, including rocket launchers. It looks like a bar, but in fact it is a large-scale slave trade. You can do whatever you want there... but... what happened? They were suddenly wiped out..."
The bartender secretly took the credit ingot, touched the anti-counterfeiting mark on it, and whispered, "You are at least right about one thing, eliminate it. Royal No. 4 Bar, from the boss on down, together with his subordinates, thugs, slaves, and even As for the guests who were there that night, a total of nearly 1,500 people were wiped out overnight, and there was not a single living person left. So, no matter what your relationship is with Royal No. 4, follow my advice and don't have anything to do with it."
"What... happened there?" Bosa asked.
The bartender shook his head and said, "I don't know. It's not a good thing anyway."
But Bosa smiled again and said, "I heard that InterGalactic Banking Clan (M) recently increased the acquisition ratio of Imperial credits, so in fact the ratio of Imperial credits to Number Four currency should be one to six."
As he spoke, he pushed over a few more Imperial credit ingots.
When the bartender saw this, he suddenly smiled. He put all the credit ingots in with a flick of his sleeves, looked around, and said in a low voice, "One of the slave owners Royal No. 4 Bar bought a batch of meat tickets from Cerea. There should be more than 20 of them."
As soon as he heard Cerea, Bosa's eyes instantly became extremely sharp. He pretended to be nonchalant and asked, "Is it possible that these 20 people escaped and killed all the more than a thousand people on Royal 4? Haha."
"What they did was right, but it was not what you thought." The bartender said, "That night, there was nothing unusual at the bar. But in the second half of the night, everything became silent. The next day, it was the combat robot troops that blocked the perimeter, but in fact they were the ones who actually entered the scene..."
As soon as he finished speaking, the door of the bar was opened, and a group of soldiers wearing black combat uniforms walked in and said coldly, "Routine epidemic prevention inspection! Everyone must cooperate!"
Bosa hid his eyes, but when he saw the epaulettes of those people, he still couldn't hide his anger.
That epaulette is a red and white umbrella logo!!
