Su Lai, the captain of the Principality of Ranks, looked at the small patrol ship that was getting closer and closer on the huge virtual screen, and his fist couldn't help but slam on the command platform.

"Damn, a small boat can still burst out with such a strong assault speed."

During the chase all the way, I thought that I would be able to catch up with the patrol ship in front of me immediately, but the other party suddenly burst out with a speed that was not inferior to that of medium and large warships, and the speed was increased by the outburst, directly pulling the distance between the two sides to millions of kilometers.

However, the speed of the small boat soon fell back, and it was soon about to be caught up under the full pursuit of the research ship.

"Captain, we'll be on target in no time."

The radar officer reported.

Sulai: "Very well, our large-caliber laser shaped cannon has been fully charged for a long time, if they don't surrender, I'm going to beat them up." ”

He couldn't help but wonder, what kind of mood would the enemy in front of him be? It's panic, or it's leaving a final word to your family.

Although the force of his own research ship is not strong, he can still deal with this kind of small ship.

"Continue to contact the Duchy to see if our reinforcements have departed, and after capturing or destroying this small ship, we will retreat and return to the Lost Star Field."

Su Lai is not stupid, although there is only a small and tattered boat in front of him, it is likely that this is just the opponent's patrol ship, if so, then the enemy must also have a large ship.

The enemy did not need a battleship, or even a cruiser, but only a destroyer or a large patrol ship would be enough to capture or destroy the research ship with a single shot.

It is enough to be able to complete the capture goal and get as many first-hand information as possible, and there is no need to risk going deeper.

According to his prediction, this civilization is likely to be the late stage of the first-level civilization.

"It is absolutely impossible to be a second-level civilization, if it is a second-level civilization, they must have walked out of the Lost Star Domain a long time ago, and it is impossible that until now, the entire Pan-Human Universe Alliance cannot find any traces of their existence."

The reinforcements that Sulai had been waiting for soon came to fruition.

"Captain, communications from the Principality's Ministry of Defense."

Sulai hurriedly turned on the communication, and the virtual video turned out to be the Deputy Minister of Defense of the Principality, Kase.

"Hello, Minister Kase."

"Captain Sulei, first of all, I must congratulate you and your expedition team on a great discovery, your name will surely go down in the history of the Principality, becoming the greatest expedition team the Principality has ever seen, there is no one."

After a few official words, Kase finally said, "After the urgent application of Director Meng of the Exploration Bureau, and the approval of Prime Minister Macbee, the Ministry of Defense has sent a reinforcement fleet, a total of 5 battleships, 10 cruisers, and 5 integrated transport supply ships.

These reinforcements will follow the route you have marked and reach your location, and you will be able to return to the Duchy in triumph to receive all the rewards you deserve. ”

"Thank you so much, Lord Casse, and I will thank you myself when I return to the Principality. I am confident that the reinforcements you have personally deployed will be able to successfully conquer this low-level civilization. ”

Su Lai said excitedly, giving a brief introduction to some of the situation of this civilization, but the distance is too far, the research ship has not detected the other party's life planet, but only detected some signs of civilization activities, including some small spaceships, some space stations, and a cruiser.

"Well, your intelligence is very important, and we will take it seriously. Judging from the information you sent back, these space stations and small spaceships are all low-level models, which were built by backward first-level civilizations, and our enemies may have some warships, but they must be backward and barbaric when they are closed.

However, there is something interesting about this cruiser, although I have not seen it, but it seems that the firepower is not too weak. ”

Kasai saw the cruiser and was a little puzzled, it was not a standard model, but outwardly, the firepower was very strong. Maybe it's their main battleship, he comforted himself.

In any case, the principality sent 15 large warships and 5 supply ships at a time, which was enough to take on the task of opening the way.

Even if things change, this advance fleet will be able to cope with it, stalling for time and waiting for reinforcements from the main forces to follow.

"Damn the Longshan Empire, those damn first-level civilization bugs have actually dragged down 80% of the military strength of the principality, otherwise, we can send dozens of battleships in one go to conquer this new bug in one go."

Kasai complained inwardly, but he was looking forward to it, once the Duchy won the Lost Star Domain, not only would its territory expand several times in an instant, but it would also have massive resources and unimaginably huge strategic detour space.

When the time comes, the Duchy of Ranke, as a second-level civilization that has just been promoted, will surely rise rapidly.

Perhaps, at that time, the Principality of Ranke can compete with the old second-level civilizations such as the Longshan Empire and the Noke Merchant Alliance.

However, in any case, as a nobility of the principality, the rapid expansion of the principality's strength will also expand his power and status, and even the fiefdom countless times.

"There are 10 cosmic minutes left, and we can catch up with each other. Initiate a communication to the other side demanding that they surrender. ”

Along the way, Su Lai was also cautious, just sent a few messages asking the other party to surrender, and this time, he was ready to 'shout' to the other party in person.

However, at this time, on the Hummingbird 3 patrol ship, Donnie Yen had just hung up the communication, and the Space Command asked him to initiate a communication to the other party to protest their invasion.

In order to catch the other party off guard, plus the empire was not prepared, the protest that should have been launched at the first time was postponed for more than an hour.

Sulai straightened his clothes, only to hear the communications officer's report.

"Captain, there's communication access."

"Huh? Pick it up. ”

The communication came in, and on the opposite side was a man about the same height as himself, dressed in a black uniform, and at first glance it was a military uniform, staring at him with a solemn expression.

"We are the Border Patrol of the Chinese Empire, and on behalf of the Empire, I issue an official warning to you that if you do not surrender immediately, we will destroy you."

Donnie Yen warned solemnly.

"What? Wreck us? ”

Sulai laughed, as if she had heard a very funny joke. If the other party can destroy his own research ship, he will not escape all the way.

"We are the expedition of the Duchy of Ranke, and I order you to surrender immediately, otherwise, we will destroy you."

Su Lai said angrily, the bed bug actually dared to resist.

Donnie Yen is not surprised, the speed, defense, and firepower of the scientific research ship are stronger than his own small patrol ship, and the other party is not arrogant.

He didn't refute, but hung up the communication directly, and the Zhonghua would arrive soon, and he didn't have to talk about it for a while, as long as he made a routine protest and laid the foundation for the next action.

Sure enough, five minutes later, Hummingbird 3 received an ultra-long-range communication from Zhonghua, asking Hummingbird 3 to report the latest situation.

Hummingbird 3 made its way towards the intended star field, and after more than 1 minute, it saw a huge flash of light in front of it slowly light up, and then get brighter and brighter.

The scientific research ship that was already close at hand behind was catching up with the bravado, and naturally discovered the light of this wonder.

"Huh? How could there be a sudden burst of light? ”

Su Lai felt strange, there was neither a jump gate nor any other anomalies in front of him, but a bright light suddenly appeared.

For so many years, Sulai had never encountered such a strange situation.

If it is a wormhole, it is impossible to appear suddenly, if it is an artificially constructed object, but who would inexplicably build something in the starry sky that only suddenly glows?

However, the next moment, he knew what it was.

"My God, this, this, what is this......"

The bright light slowly dissipated, and then, objects with a metallic sheen began to slowly appear, and gradually, a giant battleship appeared there.

With a huge hull nearly 3,000 meters long, two super main guns that are more than twice as thick as ordinary main guns, and dense gun emplacements, the entire battleship is already half larger than the ordinary battleship in Sulai's impression, and the firepower is several times stronger.

"This, this, is this a super-battleship......"

Su Lai had seen on the virtual network that some countries in the late stage of the third-level civilization were equipped with this kind of super battleship, could it be that there was a third-level civilization hidden here?

"Quick, send the information back to the principality."

Su Lai roared angrily for the first time, all signs have indicated that this time it was planted.

Even if the principality doesn't have any big losses, he will definitely not be able to escape.

"Captain, our communications are blocked."

"It's over......"

Su Lai thought in despair that as soon as the opponent's super battleship appeared, the battlefield shielding equipment was turned on, and the voyage of several universes was completely under the shielding of the other party.

"Captain, there's communication access!!"

"Take it in."

"Because you have violated the ...... by entering the territory of the Empire"

In the video screen, the soldier was announcing the crime to Su Lai and others just now, and after reading a lot, Su Lai finally understood through the translator that if he and the others did not surrender and accept trial, they would be directly destroyed.

"Surrender?"

Su Lai hesitated, if he surrendered rashly, and the principality investigated afterwards, his family would be unlucky, not to mention, he was originally a hero, if he became a huge black spot because of this surrender, what would he do in the future?

Moreover, although the other side has such a super battleship, maybe there is only one?

If the strength is not as strong as the principality, it will still be defeated in the end.

If you persist and then surrender, you will still be a big hero after being rescued by the principality.

"Captain, their main cannon is in, in, in the charged !!"

So, in the stunned eyes of Su Lai and the other members of the scientific expedition, the super battleship on the opposite side was already charging, and the speed was very fast, almost visible to the naked eye, and the main gun on the opposite side was charged.

"My God, how could it be so fast!!!"

Su Lai didn't have time to say anything, but rushed to the communication station and demanded to shout surrender to the other party.

"On behalf of the 112th scientific expedition team of the Principality of Ranke, I officially announce to you that I will ...... you"

However, before the word surrender could be exported, Su Lai was stupid, and then, the research ship was overwhelmed by a fierce bright light.
