Admiral Bryan grinned and sneered, "You're really welcome." But no matter what, the safety of the base is at stake, and we can't sit idly by. ”

Murong Feng said: "It's okay for you to interfere, but don't hinder our battle." ”

"That's exactly what I want to say." Admiral Brian said solemnly.

Admiral Brian also opened a shop at the Golden City's airport, but it was a personal relationship. On the surface, you still have to keep your distance from Murong Feng, so as not to be caught.

The two ended their formal talks, but soon got back in touch privately.

"My aunt, can't you stop for a few more days?" Admiral Brian complained, "Do you know how much effort I put into appeasing the old man? ”

"You can't blame me for this." Murong Feng said helplessly: "Those insects came to the door by themselves." ”

Admiral Bryan asked, "Then give me a thorough explanation, what are you going to do with those bugs?" ”

"The soldiers will block the water and cover the earth." Murong Feng shrugged.

Admiral Bryan said with a black line on his face: "If you don't want to say it, forget it, but if something happens at that time, you can count on me to save you." ”

After an unpleasant conversation, Admiral Bryan immediately sent a reconnaissance plane to Silisus to find out.

Soon the reconnaissance plane sent back reconnaissance information: everything is normal with Silisus, except for the overflow of bugs, there is only sand left, and there are more adventurers than bugs......

At this stage, most players have already reached level 60, and Silisus is the best place to farm monsters around level 60. Because there is no complicated terrain here, only an endless sea of sand and inexhaustible insects. In addition, there are two large team dungeons in the depths of the desert, which is simply a paradise for squatting and farming monsters to level up or brush up on equipment.

Even due to the large number of players, several Expander camps have been established in this barren desert, which has become a place for players to relax and rest in their spare time.

After reading the information sent back by the reconnaissance plane, Admiral Bryan immediately had an idea.

Soon a military force of nearly 100 troops set off for the Silysus Desert and set up a temporary base there, and then issued a faction mission in the name of the military, which attracted the attention of the majority of players.

Murong Feng also received the news as soon as possible.

"Collect unlimited materials dropped by the Angela Zerg?" Murong Feng stared at the task description in his hand, and couldn't help but sigh with a smile that Brian's movements were really fast enough, and he also thought of using the majority of players to clean up those bugs, which was simply a double win.

Now that the military has already begun to lay out, Murong Feng will naturally not fall behind.

Dialing Grandpa's phone, as soon as he connected Murong Feng, he asked, "Grandpa, is there any new information sent back from the Star Spirit Clan?" ”

Grandfather Murong Xiong said: "Not yet, our mission has just arrived, and we are heading to the Greedy Wolf Empire under the guidance of the envoy of the Star Spirit Clan. ”

Grandpa paused suddenly when he said this, as if he had just received some recent information, glanced at it, and immediately said with a solemn face: "The latest information I just received, our mission was actually denied entry by the Greedy Wolf Empire. ”

"What's going on?" Murong Feng frowned.

Grandpa looked at it carefully for a while and said, "The other party has entered a state of war, and in order to prevent any spies from getting involved, all borders have been blocked. The Star Spirit Clan is negotiating with them, but according to our people, this human empire, although powerful, has a common problem, a very serious bureaucracy. I'll send the information directly, and you can see for yourself. ”

Murong Feng nodded, and soon received the information sent by his grandfather, and after reading it carefully, he realized how serious the bureaucracy of that human being was, it had reached the point of decay.

Because it was an imperial state, the country still retained the feudal aristocratic class. Since it is feudal, there are naturally fiefs, and it is said that there are more than a dozen grand dukes in the entire empire alone, and there are even more candidates, uncles, sons, and barons below.

These nobles were intertwined throughout the empire, and their fiefdoms accounted for almost seven-tenths of the entire empire's territory.

According to the information sent back by the mission, the one who turned them away was a viscount named Braun, and the reason given by the other party was simple: a wartime blockade and no passage. Want to pass through his fiefdom to meet the emperor? OK, either spend money on the road or take a detour.

Murong Feng frowned and asked, "Didn't our mission express its intentions?" ”

Grandfather Murong Xiong smiled bitterly: "We made it clear at the first time we contacted the other party, but the other party affirmed that he had absolute right to rule the fief, even if the greedy wolf emperor came, he could not enter his territory without his permission, this is the law that the nobles of the entire empire have tacitly accepted!" ”

"How can there be such a stupid system?" Murong Feng said frantically: "Is the other party really an interstellar civilization?" ”

Grandfather Murong Xiong transferred his hand and sent another piece of information to Murong Feng, saying, "Maybe you should take a look at this information." ”

Murong Feng received the information, clicked on it and took a closer look to understand the root of all this.

A long time ago, Murong Feng knew that it was a group of star thieves who established the Greedy Wolf Empire, and then through step by step development and growth, it had today's vast territory.

But after all, it is a group of star thieves who build an empire, and star thieves are the most egalitarian. It's like a captain who gets 30% of the robbery, and everyone has a share of the rest, otherwise who will follow you and die? Therefore, at the beginning of the establishment of the empire, the average tradition of star thieves was continued and the feudal system was implemented, but this time it was not the treasure obtained from the plunder, but the entire country and power.

And the first emperor who was able to build this empire single-handedly was naturally not stupid, and knew very well that such a feudal system would cause endless disasters. He didn't want to engage in a centralized system, but not everyone could become Song Taizu, let alone a star thief leader. Therefore, in order to appease the old brothers who fought the world together, the first emperor could only choose to compromise in the end, otherwise maybe the empire that had just been established would fall apart immediately.

And with the passage of time, the feudal nobles gradually controlled the empire, and established a noble parliamentary system under the imperial power to compete with the imperial power.

But at the same time, the aristocracy is not monolithic, and all kinds of dirty things are comparable to the annual palace fighting drama.

Without the invasion of the Zerg, perhaps this empire would last for a few years, and then irrevocably split and perished in the struggle between the imperial power and the nobility.

Murong Feng rubbed his eyebrows and asked, "How much money did the other party ask for to buy the road?" ”

Grandfather Murong Xiong replied with a dark face: "One thousand magic crystal coins!" ”

Murong Feng's eyes were cold, and he said, "Isn't he afraid that he will have his life to take money and not to spend it?" ”

Grandfather Murong Xiong exhaled lightly and said, "This is not the point, on the way to the capital of the empire, our mission may have to pass through several noble fiefdoms......"

Suddenly, there was another ticking sound from his grandfather's side, he turned his head to look at it for a while, and couldn't help grinning: "I kind of understand why that nobleman opened his mouth so much." ”

"Why?" Murong Feng asked.

Murong Xiong was speechless and said, "Our envoy just went to inquire secretly, and learned that the territory that is now being invaded by the Zerg is a territory called Count Haas, and this Viscount Braun happens to belong to different parties from that Count Haas in the noble council. What the hell this bullshit stuff, don't these idiots know that those bugs have been killed at the doorstep?! ”

Murong Feng also shook his head and said speechlessly: "That's because the war hasn't burned their fiefdom yet, and it's not bad if you don't give a stone to your political enemies, so you will care about the life and death of others." ”

"Girl, what do you say now?" Grandfather Murong Xiong asked.

Murong Feng pondered for a moment, and directly ordered, "Withdraw the people." ”

"Withdrawn?" Grandfather Murong Xiong was surprised: "We don't form an alliance with each other anymore?" ”

Murong Feng shook his head and said, "I'd rather take 10,000 pigs to the battlefield than bring a group of self-interested nobles to the battlefield!" That empire is hopeless, and now we can only hope that the other side can hold on a little longer and create enough time for us. ”

Grandpa Murong Xiong nodded in agreement: "You're right, if it's me, I don't feel at ease to hand over my back to those idiots." But how do you explain it to the Star Spirit Clan? ”

Murong Feng's eyes flashed with a hint of coldness, and he said, "Tell the Archbishop of the Star Spirit Clan that I will personally visit the El Star in three days. ”

After ending the call with his grandfather, Murong Feng called Shen Lao Greedy again and asked, "Where are the two great demon kings now?" ”

Shen Lao replied: "His Majesty Belial and Mephisto are playing in the city, and Bal Mian has gone outside the city, it seems that he has gone to the Heavenly Meow God Sect." ”

Murong Feng commanded, "When they come back, tell them that it's time to work." ”

***

Three days later, dozens of hideous Burning Legion warships slowly squeezed out of the state of migration and docked into the high-altitude orbit of the El Star.

Immediately, several golden warships of the Star Spirit Clan flew up to greet them.

"Welcome to the Moon Shadow, your presence at this critical moment is truly exciting for our entire clan." Archbishop Atanis led a group of consuls to greet him personally.

Murong Feng stepped forward slowly, smiled and saluted, "We're friends, aren't we?" When a friend is in trouble, how can I stand idly by? ”

"Yes, for our friendship to endure." Artanis saluted solemnly.

If it was left in other countries, it would be impossible to set up a reception banquet to welcome Murong Feng's visit, but the upright Star Spirit Clan would not play these false things, and after receiving Murong Feng and his party to the temple of Ai Xing, they went straight to the topic and held a combat meeting.

The meeting was attended by Archbishop Atanis of the Star Spirit Clan and a group of consuls.

On the other side were the three Great Demon Kings brought by Murong Feng and a group of staff officers.

Atanis called up the star map projection and said, "Now the vanguard of the Zerg has invaded the Count Haas system of the Greedy Wolf Empire, and has spread the war to the adjacent system called Count Coral Clan. ”

Murong Feng turned his head and whispered to Wang Tiezhu, a veteran sitting on the side: "Is this Coral and Haas from the same party?" ”

"It's not." Wang Tiezhu sneered: "Eighty percent is a disaster to the east, these nobles are really good at playing." ”

Murong Feng nodded and didn't ask any more questions, and continued to listen to Atanis analyze the battle report.

Atanis pointed to another star field and said, "In addition, the Zerg also sent a fleet straight to the Marquis of Anderson's system, intending to cut off the possibility of our Star Spirit Clan forming an alliance with the Greedy Wolf Empire. ”

Murong Feng glanced at Wang Tiezhu, and Wang Tiezhu immediately gloated: "The Viscount of Braun, who stopped our mission earlier, is in this Marquis of Anderson's galaxy. ”

Murong Feng just hummed lightly.

At this time, Atanis said with a solemn face: "But these are not the main forces of the Zerg. He said as he streaked across a vast star field and kept his fingertips on a red galaxy: "The Yenos system, the main battlefield where we are fighting against the Zerg army. ”

Murong Feng squinted and saw that the entire galaxy had almost been dyed red, and only a few planets were still in the hands of the Star Spirit Clan.

"How many troops have these bugs put in here?" Murong Feng asked.

Atanis said in a deep voice: "It is estimated that there are about 10,000 broods!" ”

Murong Feng asked, "Didn't you detect that the total strength of the Zerg has a brood of about 30,000 to 100,000?" Where is the rest of the brood? ”

Murong Feng had already learned that the fleet of the Zerg was not as diverse as the Terrans, and there was a clear division of labor among aircraft carriers, battleships, cruisers, frigates, transport ships, and submarines. There are only three kinds of 'battleships', namely the brood, the king worm, and the flying centipede, which correspond to aircraft carriers, transport reconnaissance ships, and frigates.

On average, each female nest is accompanied by hundreds of king insects and thousands of flying centipedes.

Therefore, under this base, the fleet of 10,000 broods is equivalent to the size of a medium-sized aircraft carrier formation of the Terrans.

"We have just updated the information, and the specific number of Zerg broods is about 40,000." Artanis replied, "There are about 5,000 broods stationed in the Zerg's old nest, and about 5,000 of them are divided to attack the Greedy Wolf Empire, so there are about 10,000 broods whose whereabouts are unknown!" ”

Murong Feng raised his eyebrows and instructed Wang Tiezhu: "Contact my grandfather, let him strengthen his guard, and send someone to keep an eye on Silisus." ”

Wang Tiezhu nodded slightly, also realizing the seriousness of the matter.

"That's right." Murong Feng suddenly remembered the Golden Fleet mentioned last time Zeratu came to her, and asked, "Hasn't your Golden Fleet been pulled back yet?" ”

All the star spirits looked embarrassed when they heard this.

"How?" Murong Feng frowned and asked, "Is there something wrong?" ”

"We have indeed found the whereabouts of the Golden Fleet, but we encountered a Void storm on the way back, so we don't know how long it will take to return to join the battle. ”

"It's really a house leak that happened to rain overnight." Murong Feng complained and asked, "In other words, the total number of warships on both of us is only more than a hundred, but we have to fight against 10,000 Zerg Brood?" ”

Artanis said calmly: "That's true. ”
