Volume II, Chapter 275: Pastoral Domain
November 10, 2507. The second star domain, Xinghuang Autonomous Prefecture.
The LΓ€nder of the Federation have, in some respects, a high degree of autonomy. In particular, several autonomous prefectures are almost a state within a state.
Phoenix (Autonomous) Prefecture, also known as Xinghuang Autonomous Prefecture. The reason why it became an autonomous prefecture is naturally because of the relationship between Xinghuang.
However, unlike Draiger, Stars is not directly involved in local politics. Dryegg is also actively involved in federal government affairs, and Xinghuang is really a group of Buddhists.
This also leads to the fact that there are not many people in the vast public in Phoenix who really know about Xinghuang. Even some people in the upper class who lack the background lack understanding of Xinghuang.
The Mujia is just stuck in between, with some history, but it is not very profound.
The celestial region where the herdsman is located is not a central celestial area, and it is relatively marginal. It is also not a node hub for interstellar trade, and the overall situation is relatively backward.
However, it can be regarded as a blessing in disguise. It is this marginal position that has caused the old forces in Phoenix to have no interest in the pastoral area.
This also gives the herdsmen an environment to rise.
After hundreds of years of development, the herdsman has also accumulated some capital and has become the overlord of the herding domain. The name of the heavenly region, which can be named in the name of the pastoral family, is the best sign.
However, in recent years, new forces have sprung up in the pastoral domain.
What's worse is that most of these emerging forces do not appear in the form of families. Joint-stock interstellar groups, joint trade organizations, joint guilds and other more advanced power structures.
Maybe more advanced, right?
At least, the Mu family has completely focused on the "family" level, and by the time they react, these emerging forces have already become a climate, and they can no longer act rashly.
The status of the herdsman, the local overlord, is in jeopardy.
At this time, the news of the dragon clan's treasure made the Mu family seem to see hope. True or not, this is an opportunity. A chance to get the herdsman through the crisis smoothly.
What a crisis, the benefits are limited. The old hegemon relied on the first-mover advantage to eat the vast majority of the benefits. With the rise of emerging forces, as their strength approaches or even surpasses, they are not satisfied with the existing order, and direct conflict will inevitably break out.
Most wars in history have probably followed this logic.
The herdsmen wanted to avoid bloodshed, either preemptively pressing the momentum of the rise of the latecomers, or giving up their vested interests. By the latecomers, a new order for the future of the pastoral realm will be reformulated.
Obviously, the herdsman who wants to be unacceptable and do nothing will raise his hand to surrender.
The dragon treasure has become the best choice. Legend has it that it is a treasure that even Xinghuang is excited about, so it is also possible to make the Mu family one of the first-class families in Phoenix.
Losing is nothing more than a decline a little earlier. If you win, that's infinite brilliance!
With the unanimous consent of all the members, the Mujia family bought back the red gem. After nearly half a month of research, Mujia has made a breakthrough.
The head of the herdsman family ordered that the news be kept tightly sealed. Send gems to the secret base with the highest defense level of the herdsman. And the little young master of the Mu family, Mu Chen never appeared in public again.
The mysterious situation of the pastoral god has aroused the vigilance of other forces in the pastoral domain. The atmosphere of the entire pastoral realm instantly became tense, and a strange atmosphere spread in this pastoral realm.
Just when the atmosphere was at its peak of tension, a huge fleet suddenly broke into the pasture. The formation of twenty-seven warships suddenly jumped beyond the Pastoral Starport.
The commander of the central tower, as usual, looked at his mobile phone boredly, and when he heard a ship signal access, he asked lazily.
"Come to the ship, please indicate your identity, purpose, and ship specifications."
Honk. The prompt sounds, indicating that the other party's signal has come.
"Tower, this is the first task force of the Star Phoenix, with a total of twenty-seven large and small warships. Ship specifications have been sent, please provide guidance to enter the port. β
"Oh, battleship."
The tower commander straightened up, ready to read the data that was sent. But, as soon as he sat upright, the man froze suddenly, and after a brief silence, he abruptly stood up. Exclaimed!
"Two! Twenty-seven! Battleship? β
The man's exclamation attracted the attention of this tower room. The man didn't bother with that, because the voices continued to be heard from there.
"What's wrong? Any questions? Can Starport provide berths? β
The man finally woke up from the shock and said, "Wait a minute, I'll confirm it immediately." β
The data sent by the fleet showed three battleships and six heavy cruisers, all of which exceeded the maximum capacity of the starport.
The battleship's even directly exceeded the rated upper limit of the starport anchor, so that even outdoor hanging could not be provided.
The man repeatedly confirmed the size and mass of the battleship, and gradually felt that the term star phoenix was not familiar. At this moment, I didn't have time to think about it, so I thought about it and said.
"Sorry, we can't provide a moor for the entire fleet."
There was silence for a while, and the man didn't wait for the "beep" prompt for a long time, and his heart was extremely nervous.
Honk.
"Roger. Excuse me. β
Without waiting for the man to react, several dashboards in front of him all jumped. Twenty-seven battleships, all disappeared in an instant!
"Jump! Caper! β
The man knew that the fleet was gone, and the port could not accommodate it, so what was he staying for? However, the way he walked surprised the man to the extreme.
Anyway, he is also a practitioner, and the jump engines of different ships have never eaten pork, and he has seen pigs run.
For ordinary civilian ships, in order to reduce costs, the jump engine is also the lowest level. Slowly and leisurely jump out, slowly and leisurely jump in. There is no way, the peak power is limited.
Ordinary civilian warships are nothing more than adding some armament on this basis. Most of the jump engines can also be shrunk.
However, this kind of jumping space in the blink of an eye can only be seen by ships at the military level.
The formation of a fleet of 27 warship-class warships is no longer a problem that can be solved by money alone. Although it was only a brief stop, the news of this fleet spread throughout the pasture overnight.
This has made the already tense nerves of a group of emerging forces even worse.
Although the news of the Mu family's purchase of blood-colored gems is strictly sealed, there is no impermeable wall in the world. In the past half a month, a number of emerging forces in the pastoral domain have also heard the news one after another.
And at this moment, the fleet that suddenly appeared, ordinary people just joined in the fun, and it was the right to talk after dinner. However, falling into their ears, the situation is a little different.
There is no other reason, the blood-colored gem was originally aimed at the star phoenix. Xinghuang is the predetermined buyer.
