Nightmare Moon and Sea of Stars.

In an "ocean" of countless ice comets, the pitch-black fortress of war slowly revealed its behemoth figure. It was followed by about 10,000 warships.

After the fortress appeared, it stayed in the sky above the comet ocean for a short time, and then chose a direction and continued to set off at cruising speed, all the high-power long-range detection equipment was turned on, paying close attention to everything in the surrounding tens of thousands of light-second void ranges!

In the central main control room, on the command table, Li Shuwei slowly put down the light pen in her hand, her beautiful eyes were slightly closed, and her cold face was full of tiredness that could not be concealed.

On the stereoscopic projection star map in front of him, a faint blue trail was marked, with less than ten bright spots of light on it, which was a wormhole that had been discovered and noted.

This is the desperate region outside the northern frontier of the empire led by the princess of the Li family: the entire harvest of the Moon Star Sea for more than two months, a channel that is not too long, and a few wormholes that can barely be used. As for the two results she was looking forward to the most, none of them appeared!

Looking for a resource star field suitable for development, this cannot be said to be completely undiscovered. Along the way, the War Fortress has indeed discovered a lot of planets with a lot of mineral resources, and if it can be successfully developed, it will bring a lot of benefits to the family!

The problem is that the starry sky environment in which these planets live is too harsh, including the surface of the planet! If it is forcibly developed, the cost is too high! Therefore, Li Shuwei only wrote down the location coordinates of these planets, but she didn't think that the family would consider the development value of these resource planets.

As for another important goal, track down the location of Xiao Junling's territory. It's impossible to talk about it!

And as the price of lingering here for months. That's 25,000 elite warships above level 6 have shrunk by more than half! They are all destroyed by all kinds of violent poisonous rays, gravitational tides, irregular storms of high-energy particles, and so on!

There are several times. Sudden accidents threaten even the safety of the war fortress!

Although the officers and men of the fleet who participated in this operation were all elite forces drawn from various families, they had rich experience in barbarian exploration and excellent psychological quality! But in the face of such huge losses and no promising future prospects, disappointment and pessimism inevitably creep in.

Li Shuwei knew in her heart that if she continued to search aimlessly like this, she might lose all the remaining fleets and war fortresses, and still couldn't complete the task!

“…… Miss! A female major came up and, after saluting, said:

"The commander of the Zhu family's fleet has just sent a message. It is said that twenty-one more warships had to be abandoned because the damage was too badly to be repaired! ”

This is nothing new for the entire expeditionary fleet! Since entering this fierce land, basically every day for one reason or another, dozens to hundreds of warships will be lost! Sometimes even a sudden round of void gravitational turbulence can wring hundreds of warships into pieces, and the people inside don't even have a chance to escape!

Li Shuwei sighed in her heart, opened the navigation log in her head, and silently wrote down the numbers before she spoke: "I know the way!" Anything else? ”

The female major hesitated. Still said: "The commander of the Yu family's fleet sent a message, saying that the casualties were too great. We are advised to find a safe place to stay and recuperate! Hundreds of warships in his fleet had mechanical failures of varying degrees and had to be repaired and eliminated in time! ”

"A safe place?" Li Shuwei smiled slightly bitterly, in such a wild and dangerous place, there are really not many so-called safe places! Some seemingly calm airspace and planets often lurk with more deadly crises and traps! It's a bit difficult to find a place where the fleet can stop and recuperate!

She thought for a while, and finally said, "Okay! Let them hold on a little longer, and let the members of the observation team immediately choose a stable airspace as a temporary resting place! ”

The female major took the order and left!

This time, the fleet's luck was good, and it temporarily stayed on the edge of the ice comet ocean, relying on a meteorite planet the size of the moon.

Li Shuwei finished ordering all kinds of matters, got up and came to the working area of the wise team not far away, a huge three-dimensional projection sand table, a graceful and elegant, early aging woman sat in the first place, her head wore a beautiful, silver flashing, delicate ring, there are countless fine symbols like sand flying and circulating, hazy silver brilliance continues to flicker!

Around the sand table, there were more than a dozen young men and women, all with different amounts of spiritual power amplification equipment, each performing their own responsibilities, and jointly analyzed, sorted out and filtered the information collected and sent back by all the observation units of the fleet, and then fed back to the sand table star map in front of them!

What is reflected in the sand table is the map of the Sea of Stars, but most of the areas belong to the unknown dark area, and only in a small area near the northern frontier of the empire is relatively clear!

"Master Junxian, how is the situation?" Li Shuwei asked politely. This is a Dark Star Realm wise man of the Li family, a highly respected figure!

Li Junxian shook her head and said a little helplessly: "Miss, the situation is not optimistic!" This sea of stars is too strange to us now! Personally, I think that if we continue like this, the end result will be total annihilation! ”

Li Shuwei bit her red lip, and finally couldn't help but say, "I also know that this is the result!" But for the same thing, why did we lose a lot of money, but that Xiao Junling was smooth sailing? ”

She did have reason to feel depressed, and the information she had gathered from her family could prove that the warships and various equipment equipped by her team were more advanced than the models used by Xiao Junling! And the "Demon Hell" war fortress represents the pinnacle level of the Chinese Empire, and its comprehensive performance is not at all comparable to the "Skyfall"-level war fortress!

According to the normal situation, since their fleet is in such a difficult situation, that Xiao Junling should have been wiped out a long time ago!

Master Jun Xian said: "There is only one situation that can be explained, and that is that he has an accurate star map of the Moon Star Sea!" ”

Li Shuwei looked stunned, and asked in disbelief, "Star map?" This kind of wild and desperate domain that has not been set foot in for tens of thousands of years, where did he get the star map? ”

"The Temple of the Silent Stars, of course!" Master Junxian analyzed,

"As the only disciple of Xichen Qinglan, and he is deeply favored by the Great Sage, it is not unusual to be able to get such a star map! You know, the master of the temple had unearthed a lot of ancient civilization relics when he traveled in the Star Sea World Realm in his early years, so he had a lot of good things at hand! ”

"Therefore, we shouldn't be surprised that she can give Xiao Junling such an immeasurable star map!"

Li Shuwei couldn't help clenching her fists, gritted her teeth and said: "But according to the analysis of the existing information, Xiao Junling went out with a war fortress, and it only took more than half a year to be able to bring back so many resources!" It can be seen that his territory must be in a fairly rich galaxy, and judging by the speed of its round-trip. That territory should be on the edge of the Nightmare Moon Star Sea, and it won't be too far from the northern border of the empire! ”

"This means that even if we don't have a star map, it shouldn't be too difficult for us to find him! Now it's clear that something is wrong! ”

Her fleet has been thousands of light-years deep into the Moon Star Sea, and it stands to reason that even if she can't find Xiao Junling, she will at least find some resource star fields with a relatively good environment! But the truth is so cruel!

In fact, to have such a result now, this is because the princess of the Li family has an extremely good ability to command troops! If it were a mediocre guy in command, I am afraid that the whole army would have fallen into this fierce land a long time ago!

Master Junxian sighed: "Miss, your guess should be correct!" Over the past few years, other expeditionary fleets have shared some level of intelligence with us, and they are in even worse condition than we are, and several of them have even perished here! ”

"Will it ...... Xiao Junling didn't come to this starry sky at all? Li Shuwei's delicate body shook sharply, and she subconsciously asked:

"It's true that his war fortress entered the edge of the Nightmare Moon Star Sea, but after getting out of the sight of the Imperial side, he should have immediately changed his route and gone somewhere else! So we couldn't find him in so many sorties! ”

Master Junxian frowned slightly, silently calculated for a while, and said, "This possibility does exist!" After all, the danger of the Moon Star Sea has surpassed any of the Savage Star Fields we have encountered before! As far as the current conditions are concerned, it is simply not suitable for humans to come in and develop on a large scale! ”

Li Shuwei lowered her head and pondered for a while, a look of perseverance appeared on her beautiful face, and said: "Since this is the case, then I will never let the officers and soldiers under my command make senseless sacrifices!" I decided, in three hours, that the whole army would immediately return along the same route! ”

"It's okay, let's go back first, and then think about it in the long run!" Master Junxian nodded.

…………

"Your Highness, are these crystals enough?"

In the dungeon of the Great Lord of Bronnik, the circular spar platform in the center is full of all kinds of rare crystals and large gems, and the smooth and flat floor of the hall is paved with a kind of crimson spar floor tiles with a pine texture, and the number of rare gems of various colors inlaid on the high dome is almost comparable to the vast sea of stars outside! The pure free energy that is so rich that it can't be dissolved permeates the main hall!

Hu Yuanming commanded many guards to move hundreds of boxes of high-purity cloud crystals to the vicinity of the high platform one by one, and then asked: "There is still a batch of high-energy crystals in the warehouse, just transport them all!" ”

Xiao Junling nodded: "That's not necessary!" These crystals are enough, and it is estimated that it will take two or three days to be promoted, so you go outside and guard them first! (To be continued......)
