Chapter 279: The Skiru Empire (1)

Coming out of the Stargate region controlled by the Cult of the Two Gods, he officially entered the Andromeda Galaxy.

It has a completely different scene from the Milky Way, and the most striking feature is its vastness and solitude. The pitch-black cosmic space seems to devour people's souls.

After traveling at the maximum curvature for a long time, I saw a star system that was about to perish.

In the cab, Black Widow Natasha looked out the dark window and asked, "How do I feel like we're going the wrong way?" ”

"It's normal." Li Mo replied: "The overall mass of the Andromeda Galaxy is smaller than that of the Milky Way, but its area is at least 1.6 times, and the distance between the stars is much higher than that of the Milky Way. The human soul magnifies this sense of distance, so this feeling arises. ”

"Where are we going now?" Reed's eyes were full of concern, "Why don't you make the jump, the Skurulls' conspiracy on Earth has been thwarted, I'm worried about Susan." ”

"I want to, too." Li Mo said helplessly: "I only got an abbreviated version of the star map of the Andromeda Galaxy, this is a route used for smuggling, and they usually only jump in a fixed place to avoid the super quantum radar of the Skrulls." ”

"But don't worry, our ship is far faster than their, and in five hours it will be possible to make the first jump to a planet where smugglers and mercenaries gather, where they can get information."

After listening to Li Mo's words, the others fell silent, the blackened situation in front of the rescue operation and the oppressive cosmic void outside the window made these people who were used to staying on the surface extremely uncomfortable.

Seeing their performance, Li Mo knew that these guys were all suffering from deep space phobia.

People have a kind of dependence on familiar spaces, and too large and small spaces can cause discomfort. Just like a baby, if you put him in a slightly empty room, even if we adults think that the room is very small, the baby will feel frightened and cry out loud. As long as pillows are placed on either side of him, the baby will feel safe.

In the same way, bottomless tunnels, dark deep seas, and vast cosmic space can all make people feel frightened, and some people will even pee their pants in fear when they fly out of the universe for the first time to face a huge planet.

Even if he knew what was going on, Li Mo didn't remind them, because this kind of thing could only force himself to adapt.

Four or five hours passed quickly, and when he arrived at the jump site, Li Mo tried to ease the atmosphere, "Everyone, start the jump immediately, please fasten your seat belts." The planet we're about to see has a ridiculous name called a garbage dump. However, it is quite famous among the mercenaries and black market merchants of the galaxy. Ancient and dilapidated temples, ruins of the Great Industrial Age, and the blending of different civilizations give it a cyberpunk feel. ”

"Thank you for explaining." Black Widow raised an eyebrow and smiled, "But we'd like to be able to take a look for ourselves." ”

"Coming soon!" Li Mo whistled, and a honeycomb-like light spot suddenly appeared on the jump probe, and the McQueen instantly accelerated and drilled into a red area in the middle.

The space in the cab distorted, and in the blink of an eye, they were in a strange starry sky.

However, the scene in front of them was beyond their expectations, although there was a planet here, it was like being bitten by a monster, although there was only more than half of it left, but it did not collapse, and there were large and small meteorites floating around to block the passage, not at all like an inhabited planet.

Black Widow opened her mouth, "Sure enough, it's a garbage dump." ”

"Looks like we're late." Captain America Steve frowned, "This planet has been ruined. ”

In this case, Li Mo had no choice but to drive the McQueen close to the planet that was about to fall apart to investigate.

Along the way, you can see many obvious ship fragments, and there are also relatively intact small ships with a large hole in the power furnace part, floating in the void like a tomb.

Although there are many huge cracks on the surface of the planet like the Mariana Trench, the visible ruins of the city show how prosperous it once was.

The others watched this terrifying scene intently, but Li Mo touched his nose helplessly and began to think about his next plan.

Just then, McQueen's voice suddenly rang out, "Boss, caught a distress signal." ”

Li Mo quickly zoomed in on the scene near the signal source, where a man in a shabby spacesuit was floating alone in the void.

"Unlucky outcasts...", Li Mo muttered.

"Is it the shipwrecked on this planet?" Steve asked.

"How could you survive for so long." Li Mo shook his head, "This is a punishment, whether it is a black marketeer or an interstellar pirate, it is often done, throwing disagreeing people into the universe, but leaving him to barely survive, dying in boundless fear. ”

Reid frowned, "Maybe we can ask him what's going on here." ”

"I'm going to do that." Li Mo said as he pressed a few buttons, and the McQueen quickly regained its size by thousands of meters and flew towards the unlucky guy.

Upon reaching a distance of 800 meters, a towing beam shot out of the McQueen's bow and slowly sucked the creature into the ship.

It was a Skrull, with a mechanical prosthetic eye, a mouth full of rotten teeth, a slightly rickety figure, and a dirty sackcloth suit like a refugee when he took off his tattered spacesuit.

This guy is also big-hearted, and the first thing he did when he was rescued was to lie on the ground and kiss the floor frantically, and then went to the cab under the escort robot, shaking his head left and right at the advanced McQueen and marveling, and whistling from time to time.

His performance was played in the cab through the live video, and everyone else frowned, but Li Mo smiled secretly, as if he had saved a tease.

After the door of the cab opened, this guy didn't look at everyone, and knelt on the ground with a bang, and said loudly without raising his head: "Old Yuri is willing to serve the adults!" ”

Reed hated the Skrulls because of his wife, and said in a bad tone, "I'm going to ask you some questions, what if..."

Old Yuri directly interrupted his words and said loudly: "Don't worry, my lord, no matter what I know, I will say it without reservation." ”

This guy's performance surprised everyone, Captain America Steve. Rogers looked at Li Mo with some confusion, "This is... The mighty people of the Skrull Empire? ”

"My lord, what you said is from the time of my ancestors, and the powerful Skuru Empire has been chaotic and divided for thousands of years."

Old Yuri finally raised his head, although his face was very obscene, but he smiled brightly, "Civilians like us, every second we live, we have earned." ”

A gyro-shaped space station with a diameter of about 50 kilometers is suspended near a giant gaseous planet like a crimson watercolor, and sporadic signal lights flicker in the dark depths.

This is the border sentry starport of Lady Shabak in the Talen Star Zone, which is mainly used for monitoring, prevention and supply in the war zone. A small flotilla numbering in the thousands was stationed here to protect it.

At this time, Starport was operating in an orderly manner as usual, with groups of Skrulls in neat purple uniforms shuttling through it, and quantum radar constantly monitoring the data in deep space.

Although it is still some distance from the war zone in full swing, no one dares to take this fateful war lightly.

A technician was chewing absinthe grass in his mouth to refresh himself, his big green mouth moving constantly. While observing the data, he thought that he could go back to sleep after someone took over.

Suddenly, the smooth light streaks on the space probe began to shake violently, and the technician was startled, swallowed the bitter grass in his mouth, and at the same time pressed the siren and screamed: "Enemy attack!" Enemy attack! A fleet is making a space leap towards us, numbering more than 3,000, and is expected to arrive at 0.5 howlers! ”

Starport's radar is more powerful than a ship, so it can detect enemy jump fluctuations in advance, which can be converted into human units in about ten minutes.

The fleet hovering around the starport immediately set up a defensive formation, with the large flagship in the center and the destroyers distributed in a diamond-shaped position to ensure maximum firepower output and cover the starport. And the dense railguns on the starport have all adjusted their direction and aimed at the jump exit.

Soon ten minutes passed, and with bursts of spatial fluctuations, a huge fleet appeared tens of thousands of kilometers away from Starport.

As early as when they were about to arrive, the fleet on the Starport side had already launched ultra-long-range missiles in advance, so as soon as the combined fleet on Duke Brent's side appeared, it was hit intensively.

And they had already expected this situation in their attack on Starport, so the first to jump out were all defensive ships with heavy fronts and high-energy electromagnetic shields.

Round light explosions lit up the entire starry sky, and after a round of intensive missile attacks, half of the more than 300 defensive ships were paralyzed or even exploded.

However, this has achieved the goal of attacking the fleet of one side, and the fleet that is still intact is divided into two groups, and is pressing towards the starport from different directions.

At a distance of 2,000 kilometers from the effective attack range, both sides launched shipborne laser railguns almost at the same time, and the rain-like light illuminated the entire screen, and the ship's shield was constantly broken and exploded violently.

In an interstellar war, if the scientific and technological strength of the two sides is similar, there will rarely be a trick like a trick, and the competition is the dispatch of troops and resources, plus the morale of the battle.

The criterion for judging the commanders is how to avoid the real and attack the weak, how to effectively bring into play the strength in their hands, and how to develop from a small-scale local front to the final victory in the war.

The Duke of Brent's fleet was more than twice as large as the Starport defense fleet on Lady Shabak's side, but the starport's powerful defensive firepower made up for the gap, so the battle fell into a stalemate, and both sides were almost exchanging injuries for injuries, putting on a desperate posture.

At this moment, a large number of spatial jump fluctuations were once again detected on the space radar of Starport, and another fleet of the same size arrived.

This news quickly undermined the morale of the Baroness Shabak's side, and some of the ship's captains were already afraid to flee, and the chain reaction immediately led to a rout.

With the arrival of another fleet, Duke Brent's side quickly won the victory, and the remaining 100 or so ships of the starport defense fleet broke through the encirclement and successfully evacuated, while the immobile starport was heavily surrounded.

In this desperate situation, the commander of the starport originally wanted to start the self-disclosure procedure, but was killed by the spies who had been lurking around him, and the starport, the border outpost of the Talen Star Zone, instantly fell into the hands of Duke Brent.

Using this as a base, Duke Brent's side can push the battle line deep into the Talen Star Zone like a nail, directly threatening dozens of resource stars for supply.

The victorious Duke of Brent's fleet began to undergo intense rest and reception work, and was prepared for a possible counterattack, a busy scene.

Tens of thousands of kilometers away from them, the McQueen, the size of a pen, hovered silently in the void, observing the war.

Captain America and the others were all shocked, looking at the shattered spaceships and the corpses floating in the universe, and muttered, "Is this a cosmic war?" ”

"It's just a small local battle." Li Mo shook his head, "Compared to a real cosmic-level war... Trust me, you don't want to see it. ”

After finishing speaking, Li Mo looked at the monitor, the old Yuri who was locked up in a small room and desperately ate synthetic meat, although this guy was a qualified leader of the way, Li Mo still let his subordinates cast a mental magic on him.

Following the route indicated by this guy, the McQueen passed through the Talen Star Zone controlled by Lady Shabak, and the next step was to go to Duke Brent's Kubu Star Zone.

According to Yuri, the old guy, Duke Brent's base camp is on a planet called Runar, which is an extremely prosperous military planet, and civilians like Yuri are not qualified to approach it at all.

How do I get in?
