In the void, Xichen Qinglan watched the war fortress in the extreme distance disappear into the large star gate, and his heart seemed to be empty, inexplicably flustered and uneasy. There was almost an urge to catch up.

Qin Yayu glanced at her with some pity: "Sister! Can you cheer up some? As the old saying goes: love is not long, wisdom will hurt! If you care too much, you might not be able to catch him! ”

"Sister, I am from here, some things are more clear than you, as a man, sooner or later you have to take this step, it's better to be later! As long as he can grow up, you will naturally get what you want! What else can't be seen? ”

The goddess of war stabilized her mood a little and said, "I don't know when he will come back!" If all goes well, it will be about half a year at most, right? ”

Qin Yayu said: "It's hard to say, according to our calculations in advance, the journey of tens of millions of light years, even if there are no problems along the way!" It takes five or six months just to arrive! If you want to see him again, you will have to wait until at least two years later! ”

She looked at the lonely look of the female god of war, and smiled slightly: "Okay! Don't be sentimental! It's not like you've been so decisive in the past! Sister, I got a few new good things from the Savage Star Domain this time, why don't we go back and have a look! If there is one suitable for you, it will be better to sell it to you cheaper! ”

"That's fine! Don't regret it! Xichen Qinglan's face was slightly dark, her beautiful eyes narrowed slightly, and she said a little slyly.

Qin Yayu shivered for no reason, and a trace of remorse suddenly rose in her heart.

…………

The War Fortress passes through a large stargate near the Imperial Capital Stellar System and enters the high-speed main channel to the northern border of the Empire!

The transportation network of Xingmen and wormholes in Huaxia has been extremely perfect! Especially in each strategic direction. All have a sound high-speed waterway system!

Teleportation between wormholes. It takes almost no time. Only when traveling from one wormhole to the next, the battleship must travel at sub-light speed, and most of the time is spent on it! And for various reasons, the distance between the two wormholes cannot be arranged too close! That's why interstellar voyages are time-consuming and laborious!

Of course, there are exceptions to everything, and considering some special circumstances, the Imperial military still prepared a set of hidden large-scale star gate transportation systems to connect these wormholes that were originally far apart. In the event of a major change in the situation on the border, troops can be quickly deployed. Reinforcements to the front!

The northern border of the Chinese Empire is more than 100,000 light years away from the imperial capital, and if it is a small-scale fleet, with the help of this transportation system, it can almost make an uninterrupted jump, and reach the border from the imperial capital in just a few days! The price is high teleportation cost! And only ships of the military and state security services are eligible for use!

However, with the care of the archon Wei Zhenhua, Xiao Junling also obtained the right to use! Therefore, two days later, the War Fortress appeared in the Yunmo Star Domain in the far north of the Empire.

From this position, slightly towards the northwest starry sky, it is the famous peerless domain in the known Star Sea World: Rakshasa Star Plain!

For the nascent human civilization, this is a mysterious place where danger and opportunity coexist; For many veteran aliens. This is the "Holy Domain" that has been handed down since ancient times, and it is the core interest that they will defend at all costs!

This galaxy is tens of thousands of light-years in circumference. It can be called vast, but there is no intelligent life in it, and a large number of alien civilizations have set up long-term bases around Xingyuan, constantly monitoring the movements of the entire Xingyuan.

After the pioneering fleet of the Chinese civilization arrived at this starry sky, it had to stop its expansion due to the extremely dangerous natural environment here, and there was a nasty Gambino royal court in the northwest direction, so in the past hundred years, there has been no significant change in the northern border!

Legend has it that in the golden years of antiquity, this was the capital of a great civilization, one of the richest and most developed galaxies in the entire known Star Ocean Realm!

There are many ancient ruins left here! As long as one or two places can be obtained, the various benefits that the discoverer can obtain will definitely exceed most people's imagination.

Therefore, despite the treacherous environment here, there are still countless exploration groups and high-level powerhouses from different races who enter the "Taobao" through the bases around Xingyuan, hoping to find some dusty ruins for a long time, and unearth some lost treasures and ancient technological creations!

However, although the Rakshasa Star Origin belongs to the Peerless Domain, after nearly a hundred years of exploration and investigation, the Anthropocene Realm still has a lot of useful information, and in the entire Northwest Savage Starry Sky, there are as many as seven similar dangerous places that have been discovered! The ancient ruins of the Qiang civilization that Xiao Junling led the fleet to investigate in his previous life were one of them!

In these places, thanks to the constant dispatch of adventuring groups and expedition fleets, the upper echelons of the empire can more or less know some information! However, the Moon Star Sea on the north side is a real dark region, and so far, even if it is a marginal area, it is an unattainable place for the Anthropocene realm!

The War Fortress stopped in the Yunmo Star Domain for a while, and then Xiao Junling gathered his core followers and held a short meeting.

An unfamiliar three-dimensional star map appeared in front of everyone, among which the Yun Mo Star Domain was located at the bottom, and a faint red trajectory meandered upward, running through the entire Moon Star Sea, until it disappeared at the top of the star map!

"This is the route of our trip!" And he explained to the people,

"Tomorrow, we will enter this starry sky, and it will take about two months or so to be able to get out of this dark region, and then continue to move forward, passing through at least fourteen unfamiliar galaxies, twenty-seven discovered dangerous places, thirty-three ancient wormholes, and nearly a hundred star fields where powerful beasts are entrenched, and it will take us four to five months to reach the end of our trip: the Biluo Galaxy!"

Everyone's faces were a little solemn, this route is not unheard of, just based on Xiao Junling's dictation, you can imagine the danger contained in it! Although the defense of the war fortress is good, in the face of the strange and unpredictable wild starry sky, no matter how powerful the civilization creation is, it may not be able to guarantee safety!

Mo Fanli frowned and said: "In this way, along the way, we not only have to face all kinds of strange natural dangers, but also deal with the challenges of those unknown beasts, and the expected arrival time is estimated to be delayed a lot!" ”

"Yes!" Xiao Junling did not hide it,

"Since the star map comes from an ancient lost civilization, it has not been verified beforehand! Hundreds of thousands of years have passed, and what will happen to the former channel and the surrounding void environment, this is something that no one can say for sure! So it's not uncommon for things to happen! Even an accident that endangers the entire fortress of war can happen! ”

Zhou Yun pondered for a long time and asked a more critical question: "In this voyage of tens of millions of light years, will you encounter some unknown powerful intelligent race?" ”

Xiao Junling nodded and said, "In the era when the ancient star map was drawn, this route was a golden passage connecting multiple powerful empires!" Although these civilizations are now gone! But no one can say for sure if there will be new civilizations in those systems! ”

He Zhechun, Li Yuankang and others were silent. According to the calculation of probability, such a vast starry sky is once a gathering place of prosperous civilization, and it is simply inconceivable to say that there is no intelligent race!

In other words, along the way, most of them will encounter some unknown intelligent civilization on the way, and then it is likely that they will have to fight a few battles, if the opponent is strong enough, it is obviously impossible to do it with only this little warship and resource reserve in the war fortress! When the time comes, you may have to return in vain!

In fact, the risk of this trip, everyone present was mentally prepared in advance. But when this moment really comes, it is impossible to say that there is no sense of apprehension!

Xiao Junling looked around at everyone and said calmly: "I don't hide it from everyone, the difficulty of this expedition is greater than any previous wild expedition in the empire!" So, if someone finds it unbearable and plans to quit halfway, it's still too late! I will give him enough severance pay. ”

Hu Yuanming said unhappily: "What did the lord say? If we were really afraid of death, we wouldn't have agreed in the first place! Now that he is ready to fly, he will be a deserter again, and it is rumored that he will lose his face! ”

Li Yuankang pondered for a while, and said with a smile: "In life, you always have to take several risks!" Now that you have made your choice, you must have the consciousness to bear all the consequences! I wasn't going to go back like this! ”

He Zhechun smiled: "I still want to follow the lord and become the founding father!" I'm not interested in this 'deserter' hat! ”

Then everyone expressed their willingness to choose to continue going!

So the next day, under the watchful eyes of many frontier exploration groups, this mysterious war fortress from the imperial capital passed through the backmost wormhole on the border line guarded by the imperial fleet, and headed for the depths of the unknown vast void!

When you arrive at this place, you will really leave the star field that can be covered by the empire's communication network, and only the hyperspace communication device can still be used!

However, the most powerful hyperspace communication systems in the Empire can only function at a distance of no more than 600,000 light-years, and once the War Fortress leaves this range, it means that it will completely lose contact with the known civilization world! Become an island floating in the void!

Of course, due to various considerations, Xiao Junling still set up a number of communication relay stations at all the wormhole entrances along the road in case of emergency, but this also did not last long.

Three days after entering the Nightmare Moon Star Sea, the War Fortress was already more than 100,000 light-years away from the border, and it was no longer feasible to set up a transfer station!

At this point, the unknown journey has really begun! (To be continued......)
