Due to the violent explosion sound from the direction of the warship in the sky and the tribe, a group of hunters who had not been set off for a long time hurriedly returned, and they all looked at the huge flying monsters in the air like mountains in horror.
Many of the hunters hurried back to the tribe, and although the people of the family were trembling with fear, there were no casualties. Seeing this, these hunters relaxed a little and dragged the clansmen to ask what had just happened.
Dooki looked around, and suddenly his heart sank, there was no figure of his good friend Rosso in the crowd, he became anxious, and hurriedly asked someone.
"That, the group said a few words to Rosso, and then they took him away...... Before leaving, he told us not to be afraid, saying that those people had no malicious intent......"
"Where did they go?" Dookie was furious, he didn't care what Rosso said, he just knew that his best friend had been captured by a group of dangerous monsters, and he couldn't sit idly by.
The villagers pointed in a direction, and instead of returning to the ship, the legionnaires walked into the forest.
Without saying a word, Dookie took his weapon and strode in that direction, the hunter next to him shouted to stop, but he turned a deaf ear, and only wanted to save his good friend from the "monster".
Seeing this, the captain of the hunters, for fear that Dooky would be in danger, hurriedly gave a few words, and then chased after him.
The tall trolls sprang through the forest, nimble and nimble, and Dookie recognized the dirt footprints and ran for a while, finally catching up with a group of legionmen.
Many players are slashing down trees and clearing a clearing of land where they are preparing to plant a small portable base expansion pack to form a small stronghold.
According to the requirements of the mission and the instructions of the legion, the team that comes into contact with the natives is to build a base near the various tribes to facilitate communication with the natives.
"Huh? There are life signals. "Madknife slashed an ancient tree with a chainsaw blade, and at the same time, the radar detected Dookie's presence, as did the other members of the Legion.
Duggie crouched among the treetops, unaware that he had been exposed, and he observed these "monsters" dressed in metal, and at a glance he saw Rosso being fenced off, and his face was happy.
"Hah!" The next moment, Dookie kicked his legs and fell from the air, and the strong bouncing force made him land directly in front of Rosso, and a tumbling stood up, bringing up a piece of dirt.
He then followed the countless hunter trainings he had done, and stabbed a spear into the lower body of a metal monster in front of him, unleashing a fatal blow.
Syllable! The stab stabbed into the metal-covered crotch, and the wooden spear snapped without incident.
The attacked legionnaire kicked out lightly, fearing that he would kill the natives and fail the mission.
However, in Duki's eyes, this kick was so fast that he couldn't react, and he barely raised his wooden shield to block it, and a huge force that could not resist came like a mountain of mountains.
Rumble! The wooden shield exploded and turned into a flurry of sawdust.
Du Ji's whole person was kicked out dozens of meters, rolled on the ground more than a dozen times, his arm was in severe pain, hanging down softly, and he could barely lift it. His chest tightened for a while, and he couldn't help but vomit a large mouthful of sour gastric juice, lying on the ground and unable to get up, staring at the attacker with terrified eyes.
"Don't kill him! He's my friend! Rosso hurriedly shouted, then looked at Dookie and asked in surprise, "What are you doing here?!" ”
"Ahem...... I'm here to save you......" Dookie could barely stand up, his tone was weak, he was just an ordinary creature, he was kicked by a legionnaire of C-level combat power, and not dying was already the reason why the other party received 99% of his strength.
"Oh, I don't need you to save me, they have no malice, they are all my friends, you should leave quickly."
Rosso was helpless, and then pleaded with the legionnaires, just a while ago, he had already learned the general situation from the legionnaires, although he didn't understand many terms, but it didn't prevent him from confirming that this group of people was not an enemy.
Hearing Rosso tell him to go back, Dookie, who had fallen to the ground, looked up and saw that Rosso was communicating with the group of creatures, there was no danger at all, and there was no need for help from others.
Rosso got the reply, his face was happy, and said: "I helped you intercede, they decided to let you go, you hurry back to the tribe, I'm fine here, you just wait for my news, don't be impulsive again." ”
"Let me go......," Dookie repeated, looking up at Rosso, his eyes revealing extremely complicated emotions, as if he had reacquainted himself with this good friend who had been out of place with others since he was a child.
A sense of disparity rose in his heart, and Dookie's trembling palms clenched into fists, squeezing the ground, dirt squeezing out between his fingers.
At this time, the captain of the hunters finally arrived, and looked vigilantly at the many legion members, and looked shocked when he saw Dookie lying on the ground. Rosso hurriedly stopped him and explained a few words, and the captain of the hunter was suspicious, picked up Dooki, who was temporarily incapacitated, and turned around and ran back.
Rosso watched the two of them go away, breathed a sigh of relief, and didn't think much about it.
……
Landing one by one on the ground and making contact with all the tribes, these sky-spanning warships are like gods in the eyes of the Pangurid trolls.
The peaceful life was shattered, and all the natives who came into contact with it were terrified and wary of the aliens descending from the sky.
According to the rules of exploration, legionnaires set up a base near each tribe, selected one or several representatives from the tribe, taught them to use translators, and used them to communicate their intentions.
At the same time, Han Xiao did not let the others be idle, and sent surface mining troops to land at resource points one by one, build mining bases, and use various excavation equipment to drill into the ground and open up ore veins.
Large swaths of forest have been uprooted, cold metal has taken their place, and bases have sprung up on the planet Pangulid.
There are a large number of manpower and interstellar mining equipment, Han Xiao doesn't need to do it himself, he just needs to command in the main ship of the planet's high-altitude orbit, which is very leisurely.
"Your Excellency Black Star, have you discovered a resource planet that contains rare resources?"
Senicor, the commander of the Imperial detachment, received the news and couldn't help but be overjoyed.
At this time, most of them are conducting a comprehensive exploration of the first star sector, and each detachment has arrived at the planet they want to explore, most of them are very ordinary, containing some common ordinary resources in the universe, which are not of high value, and there are very few resource planets with an estimated value of more than 6 billion inars.
And Pangurid is the most valuable planet that everyone has discovered in the First Star Sector so far.
"Well, I've perfected the planetary information in the database, and there are still indigenous civilizations here, and my people are in contact." Han Xiao said.
Senico thought for a moment and said, "In this way, you will be in charge of the development of that planet, and I will send a team to help." ”
According to the rules, as long as it is a planet discovered by the Black Star Legion, Han Xiao can temporarily share the mining rights.
And if it is the first resource planet discovered by the Imperial fleet, the Imperial allies have limited qualifications even if they intervene, and generally speaking, the allies have the greatest benefit by mining the planets they have discovered. So the Senico troops were both companions and rivals.
After chatting for a few words and hanging up the communication, Han Xiao opened the panel, and a lot of hints popped up in the main quest of the Shining World, discovering rare resource planets, discovering indigenous civilizations and other achievements, which made him get a lot of personal exploration points.
Players who follow him to Pangurid's Star will earn the most points of any player so far, and new points will continue to be added as the exploration progresses.
On the forum, players who explored each planet posted their points separately, and when they saw the points of players exploring Pangulid Star, they were envious.
"I still earn the most with the Legion Commander."
"It's a pity, many of the mission places to follow the Black Star have been divided among those big guilds, and I didn't grab the rest of the places, my face is too dark."
Although players go to explore different planets and are divided into teams that are far apart, the forums can communicate with each other and share information across distances, which is very lively.
Among the players led by Han Xiao, there are a large number of players from club guilds, the four giants and the first-line guilds, and there are many professional players.
Turning off the panel and looking at the light spots on the map representing the legion troops all over the planet, Han Xiao suddenly asked, "How are they getting in touch with the natives, is anyone resisting?" ”
Aurora shook her head, "There are more than 10,000 tribes on this planet, and the population of the Pangurid Giant Elves is about 10 million, and our warriors use the method of deterrence to make them feel terrified, so there are no casualties at this time...... Well, there seem to be some cases of accidental deaths, but the number is no more than a hundred. ”
Han Xiao snorted, the natives of this planet are still in the early stage of civilization, the population is very small, and no more than a hundred people have died in the first contact, and they are still within the range of acceptance.
"It's only the first day for the ground forces to pacify those tribes and slowly educate them, it's a long-term process, so let's not rush for quick success...... Even if the natives resist, it won't cause us much damage, so try not to use violence against them. ”
If there is no resistance now, it does not mean that there will be no in the future, the natives just haven't realized what they have encountered, and one day, the feelings of homeland will sprout, and there will definitely be people who will resist at that time.
Fortunately, the natives were too weak to resist for any point...... It also protects themselves.
Han Xiao knew that on the other side of the Reynor Star Cluster, there were some indigenous civilizations that had barely reached the galaxy level, which were much more difficult to deal with than Pangulid, and if they were encountered by the war realm, it would be enough to embarrass them for a while.
It takes too long to educate a group of natives, at least decades or hundreds of years of work, and he naturally won't be delayed on a planet for so long. Now it's just a matter of laying the groundwork, and when the Empire's manpower arrives, the work of indoctrination will be handed over to the Empire's professionals, who only need to leave some troops to mine here, and then he can explore the next planet.
……
The representatives of the various tribes returned to the tribe with the goodwill of the Black Star Legion, saying that they did not harm them, and brought back food seeds suitable for the climate of this planet.
With the reassurance of the tribe's representatives, the Pangurid trolls gradually stopped being so afraid of visitors from outside the sky, and transitioned from fear to familiarity, followed by a strong curiosity.
The strongholds next to each tribe function as schools and are open to the natives, because the translators have collected the language of the natives, and now they can communicate normally, and some of the more courageous natives have taken the initiative to try to study in these strongholds.
The colony taught a variety of life knowledge, including agriculture, handicrafts, etc., and distributed seeds and food for free, and some natives learned and returned to the tribe to try their hand and start growing crops.
And through learning, the various tribes also learned about the origin of this group of visitors from outside the sky, and learned about the existence of the Black Star Legion and the Red Empire.
The members of the Legion popularized the basic knowledge of astronomy and the history of the Legion to the natives, and the natives could not imagine that such a powerful force existed in the heavens and could easily cross the universe.
All this exceeded their understanding, and in their eyes, the existence of the Black Star Legion was like an incredible miracle.
In the Aoliu Forest Tribe, Russell's life has changed for the better.
After becoming the representative of the tribe to communicate with visitors from outside the world, Rosso continued to learn and bring knowledge back to the tribe - he was very talented in this area, and the tribe began to communicate frequently with the Black Star Legion with his efforts, learning new things and changing their way of life.
Russell was amazed to find that the people who had not been kind to him had all become respectful of him, and in the tribe, his status suddenly surpassed that of the chieftain, and became the most respected person, and everyone was in awe.
The culture of these indigenous people has not yet been fully formed, and there is no so-called concept of abandoning tradition, and they are attracted by new knowledge.
In the past, the most respected thing by the tribe was the hunter, and the hunter brought back food so that the tribe could be fed. And now, the most respected people have become the ones who went to the stronghold to learn and brought back knowledge, they brought back food and seeds, made it easier for everyone to eat, brought back knowledge of crafts, made clothes more comfortable, tents warmer, and brought back a weapon called the bow and crossbow that was given free to the stronghold, with which hunting became easier.
The hunter is a warrior of the clan and is responsible for defending the tribe, but in front of the legion, the hunter is powerless, and the trust of the hunter gradually weakens, and although the hunter is still respected, it gradually has a tendency to be marginalized.
Looking at Rosso, who was surrounded by his clansmen, Dookie had mixed feelings in his heart.
This used to be his glory, when he and Rosso were good friends, but they had a potential sense of superiority psychologically, thinking that they were covering Rosso, but now, the status of the two has been reversed. Rosso, who had not been treated well by his people, became respected, while he, a young hunter who had high hopes, was gradually neglected and ignored.
Dooki's sense of disparity grew stronger and stronger, and his mood was depressed.
After Rosso finished dealing with the clansmen, he saw Dookie and hurriedly stepped forward and said with concern: "How is your injury?" ”
“…… I am fine. Hearing Rosso's concern, for some reason, Dookey only felt harsh, and felt a little irritable in his heart, answered coldly, turned his head and walked away, as if he was a stranger.
Rosso saw that Dookie was so cold and confused, Duki was obviously very cheerful before, but after being injured by a member of the legion last time, he became silent, and seemed to deliberately hide from himself, unwilling to communicate with him.
He didn't understand why.
……
On the other side, Duki was bored, so he simply walked out of the tribe and ran wildly in the forest.
Feeling the wind blowing in the woods, his mood gradually relaxed.
After running a long way, Dookie plans to go to his secret base, and he stumbles upon a cool spring in the forest, which he occasionally comes back to take a bath and relax, and every time he finishes washing, he feels refreshed.
However, when he arrived at his destination, the sight here made Dooki stunned.
The spring vanished, replaced by a bottomless crater surrounded by metal structures where legionnaires roamed and excavated the dirt with strange instruments.
"Y-What are you doing?!"
Dooki was furious, he was very repulsive to these visitors, he held the weapon in his hand, and was about to approach, when suddenly a flower appeared in front of him, and a member of the legion quickly stopped in front of him.
"The front is the mining site, which is not open to outsiders, so leave immediately."
"What about the springs here? Where's my spring? What did you do?! When Dooky heard this, a wave of anger swelled up, pushing the legion members in front of him, trying to rush into the mining site.
Bang!
A strong force came, and Dookie was pushed out, fell a few times, clutched his stomach, and looked in pain.
"Sorry, please don't get in the way of us mining resources, if you need anything, you can go to the stronghold near the tribe, which is not open to outsiders." The legionnaire shook his head.
"Why don't you let me pass, this is obviously where I found it......"
Dookie clenched his fists with an angry expression as he saw the visitors dig up a large pile of shiny crystals from where the spring had been, and they all cheered.
Seeing this, Dookie seemed to understand that this group of people drained the spring water in order to dig out these crystals under the spring water.
When I looked up, I saw that the trees around me had been cut down and the woodland had been replaced with metal. He was a free-running giant elf, but he was turned away by visitors from outside the world, thinking of all the experiences of these days, an inexplicable sadness surged in his heart, but he didn't know where this emotion came from.
Confused, Dooki seemed to have a feeling.
Originally, this should have belonged to them......
For the first time, he had this consciousness that this forest, this land, this planet, was their home.
……
"Uncle, let's ...... Wouldn't it be good? ”
In the main ship in the sky, Aurora hesitated for a moment, then suddenly spoke.
Han Xiao raised his eyebrows, "What do you want to say?" ”
Hela on the side also looked over.
Aurora pursed her lips and whispered, "Let's do this...... Actually, it's an invasion of the indigenous homeland......"
"I know what you mean." Han Xiao waved his hand, "What we adopt is indoctrination, bringing knowledge to the natives and making them civilized, which is still different from simple invasion. ”
"But...... "Aurora plucked up her courage, "this planet was originally their homeland, these natives have no ability to defend their homeland, they can only watch their homeland be invaded by us, and we are mining their resources here, isn't it a little ...... Bullying people. ”
"They should be glad that they are not able to resist, otherwise more people will die."
"But ......"
"Well, needless to say." Han Xiao interrupted Aurora's words and said helplessly, "Do you think they have a choice?" ”
"Actually, we can avoid the indigenous planets and explore other unknown planets......" Aurora blinked.
Han Xiao shook his head, came to the porthole, looked at the universe outside the window, and sighed.
"You're too idealistic when this planet ...... No, when this star field was discovered by the three major civilizations, the fate of all life in the star field had changed, and they no longer had the right to develop freely.
We can avoid the planets where the natives exist, but after the Red Empire opens up and shines in the world in the future, do you think other wolf-like civilizations will let them go, they are destined to lose a lot of things, and it is already a good ending for outsiders to share their homes and accept the education of the empire...... There is no way to have the best of both worlds for the weak. ”
Aurora was silent, her heart tangled, because of her life ability, she was more sensitive and had a strong empathy for other lives.
She sympathized with the plight of the natives - even if the current Pangurid trolls didn't know the implications, she couldn't refute the theorem of the jungle in the universe.
Hela's face is calm, unlike her sister, she has always believed that weakness is original sin, and rarely has excess compassion.
Han Xiao paused, and said: "There is no need to delve into it, it is indeed not a noble act to dig up the resources that belong to them, but you must know that no one ethnic group has the obligation to help another ethnic group develop, and the empire brings education because the indigenous homeland is rich in resources, and the essence is a transaction...... Although it is an overlord deal that the natives are not qualified to refuse. ”
In the previous life, after years of development, Pangulid Star became a trade transit station, and the natives were divided into two factions, one faction accepted the indoctrination, became interstellar citizens, learned various knowledge and technology, and began to climb the science and technology tree, so that the civilization quickly crossed the primitive stage, developed rapidly, and had its own city on Pangulid Star, because it was connected to the interstellar line, so the clan could travel interstellar from time to time.
The other faction rejects indoctrination and chooses to maintain a primitive way of life, this faction is hostile to the interstellar people and their compatriots in the indoctrination branch, they have tried to resist, but to no avail, and finally decided not to contact the outside world, living in the deep mountains and old forests, still with wild beasts as their companions, and no one bothering them.
The Pangurid Giant Elf race was thus split into two branches, however, every year there were tribesmen of the original branch who yearned for civilization and left the tribes in the mountains and forests to join the Giant Elf cities of the indoctrination branch.
"That's pretty good compared to the Exploration Period." Ferdin, who was on the side, spoke.
Hearing this, Han Xiao also nodded.
The Shining World Reclamation is actually the epitome of the exploration calendar, but the difference is that now the three major civilizations have enough strength to dominate the universe and suppress all disobedience, so they have the confidence to take gentle measures.
During the exploration period, the first thought of various civilizations when they found each other was to destroy each other, and the war was raging, with heavy casualties, which was much darker than now.
