In the office of the commander of the base. Lieutenant General Hudal came out of the gym and struggled to move his fat body into a special chair behind his desk! After a while, he began to deal with the day's official business.

said that it was official business, but in fact, most of it was his own business! The general's recent days have been very comfortable.

As the supreme military commander guarding the ancient wormhole, he doesn't need to worry about too many things, as long as the daily training plan of the officers and soldiers is in place! Then, within a fixed period of time, routinely report the movements here to the imperial capital! The rest of the time, it's basically just doing what you like, and no one asks!

He was a major general of the former Shuofeng Empire, and when Yun Haoyu attacked the Tianhua Star Domain, he also defected with his superior officers and surrendered to the new regime. Then he was sent to this place.

This is not that the new regime deliberately excluded him, but that he felt that he was old and that he was not a few years away from retirement, so he did not want to go to the battlefield again, and planned to change to a more stable position, and just mix peacefully until the day he was disarmed and returned to the field! Therefore came to this place.

At first glance, this may seem like an extremely dangerous errand, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is the gatekeeper of the "gates of hell"! In fact, only he himself understands in his heart how much benefit he has gained from staying in this place for a few years!

Since the countries near the wormhole have all disappeared, this vast area of stars has become borderlands! As the highest military governor here, he is the undisputed Emperor of the Earth!

The days of guarding the ancient wormhole are dry and boring! He was very quiet, and soon discovered something that could bring great benefits to himself!

Three months after coming here, he had "collected" countless good things on many abandoned administrative planets! Jewelry, antiques, art, limited edition spaceships, flying cars, and all sorts of luxuries! Quite a lot of stuff, all of them are brand new and unopened goods stored in the warehouse!

The Borosto people are mainly plundering the population, and they don't care much about these objects in the human world, and when the war subsides, these abandoned star fields have become borderless lands, and in the ruins of countless big cities on the administrative planet, all kinds of good things are naturally available!

In the star field close to the ancient wormhole, except for their legions, there were no outsiders who had the courage to come over, so his fortune plan was not affected in any way! Even the subordinates who took him with him shared a lot of benefits!

By sending cronies to "pan for gold" on these planets, after collecting enough good things, they will be secretly transported to the empire, and sold through some hidden channels, and the monthly income is astronomical! In a few years, the net worth he has accumulated is enough to make him the richest man in the entire empire!

What was originally regarded as a chore in the eyes of many colleagues has become a cornucopia of wealth in the hands of this general! This is something they didn't expect!

And in the last year or two, the generals, who have reaped the benefits, have set their sights on those ownerless mines again! Spend money to secretly order a large number of robotic laborers, specializing in picking those precious minerals! After processing and refining the raw ore, it will be secretly transported to the territory of the empire and sold!

Counting the money until his hands cramped, he has fallen in love with this position! And made up his mind to stick to this post until the group of devils came back to fight.

After looking at the financial statements for a while, he opened his mouth and instructed the biochemical adjutant beside him: "Go, invite the two generals Liu Kun and Lips!" ”

The other party saluted and went out, and after a while, a major general and a brigadier general walked in.

These two are his cronies, one is in charge of the "gold rush" on the planet, and the other is in charge of the sales of goods on the Empire's side!

"Your Excellency Commander, did you call us over?" Major General Liu Kun, who was the same as him, asked.

"Meet! Nothing! He said, "Since last month's income has increased by 16 percent, why don't we sum it up and get some equipment, there are too many resource planets worth exploiting!" You have to make the most of it, it's all money! ”

"That's what the commander said!" Brigadier General Lips agreed, "The empire is about to unify the sea of stars, and there is not much time left for us to make a fortune!" I have to take advantage of this opportunity to get another handful! ”

"However, I heard that the Imperial Security Department has been talking about it lately!" Liu Kun was a little worried, "Many organizations that do underground business have been eradicated!" Even our channels have been affected a lot! So the subordinates think that it is better to keep a low profile first, and wait for the rumors to pass! ”

What they're doing here, if it's known from above and known to the media, will become a big scandal for the Imperial Legion! With the style of His Royal Highness Su Shangqing, all of them have to go to the electric chair, and they will be raided outside!

Hudal rolled his eyes and asked, "Can we co-opt some people in the Ministry of Security for our use?" In this way, you don't have to worry about attracting the attention of some big people after expanding your business in the future! ”

"Your Excellency! You should know that this is impossible! Liu Kun smiled slightly bitterly, "Lord Su Shangqing is not a master who is easy to fool!" Over the years, have there been fewer big names planted in his hands? If he really sees something, we're going to be out of luck! ”

"So what now? Can't you just give up? Hudal was a little annoyed, jumped up and said angrily:

"This is all the source crystal of the white flower, the source crystal! How can you just throw it away for nothing? Do you know how much we get paid a year? God has put so much wealth in front of us, and if we don't do everything we can to take more, we are all sorry for our conscience! ”

He has regarded this starry sky with a radius of tens of thousands of light-years as his personal domain! Everything in the territory is naturally their own private property, so they must find a way to move it all back! One little less can make his heart bleed! How could it be possible to let Bai Huahua's source crystal slip away from hand for the sake of so-called safety??

"But, Your Excellency, we have to do this now!" Lips's head was still sober, and he tactfully persuaded:

"Let's just endure it now! It's never too late to wait until the limelight has passed! I heard that not only His Royal Highness Su Shangqing, but even His Royal Highness Luo Hanxing has also left the imperial capital and is patrolling the area of the Northeast Star Sea! Maybe we're here at some point! So it's better to be careful! ”

"No, no, absolutely not...... General Hudal's big head shook like a drum.

Just as several generals were fighting for each other, the surrounding void trembled violently, and an incomparably obscure and inexplicable energy fluctuation spread! With an indescribable cold, icy aura! It's so shocking that these guys have stopped!

"What's going on?" Liu Kun asked in disbelief.

"Your Excellency, Commander!" An adjutant rushed in regardless of it, and said with a pale expression:

"Ancient wormhole No. 2 is starting to react! It is beginning to expand under the influence of unknown forces! Looks like there's something coming over! ”

Hudal only felt his brain "buzz", and his body, which was as fat as a mammoth, was shaking! I almost didn't get it all right!

Could it be that the demons are about to fight again? Not so fast! Doesn't it mean that there are at least a dozen years left?

Doesn't that mean that all the more than a million fleets stationed at the mouth of the wormhole have to be reimbursed here? Can't run away from a single one?

As one of the officers who survived the terrible battle, Hudal knew all too well the horrors of those demonic intelligent creatures!

"You...... Are you sure you're not mistaken? Liu Kun suddenly grabbed the adjutant's collar, and asked in a trembling voice:

"At this time, how can the wormhole mouth react? Could it be that the instrument is malfunctioning? ”

"Your Excellency, it's true!" The adjutant replied with a sad face, "You don't need any instruments, you can see the problem with the naked eye!" You can go to the observation room and see for yourself! ”

Hudal didn't say a word, he raised his feet and rushed out! Dragging a body weighing hundreds of pounds, his agility and speed are no less than those of ordinary high-level abilities!

The observation room was not far away, and when he rushed in, his eyes caught a glimpse of the huge light screen in the center of the room, and he opened his mouth stupidly, unable to speak for a long time!

Around the galaxy where the ancient wormhole is located, there is a huge cloud of interstellar dust! Obscured most of the brilliant starlight projected in the quadrangular sky!

Against the background of the dark and dull void, three ancient wormholes were silently suspended in the air, like three deep cosmic shafts, and like three hell portals leading to the endless abyss!

The diameter of one of the wormholes has slowly doubled, and there is a strange black light seeping through!

As the expansion trend gradually accelerates, the cold breath that makes people palpitate is getting stronger and stronger! Even fools can see that something big is going to happen!

"Your Excellency, Commander, what now?" The eyes of the officers were all on Hudal.

"What else can I do? Notify the whole army and immediately put on maximum alert! He wiped the beads of sweat from his forehead, gritted his teeth and ordered:

"All the main guns of the fortress are starting to charge and get ready to attack! Also, immediately report the situation here to the imperial capital! Let's just say that the devils are fighting again! ”

The officers responded one after another, and each went to deliver the order! But everyone understands that this move is just talking about personnel! No matter how good he is, with such a small amount of troops, he will definitely not be able to stop the devilish creatures rushing over from that side!

The speed of the wormhole expansion is extremely fast, and after only ten minutes, it has reached a radius of hundreds of kilometers in diameter! A black thing finally poked its head out of it, and it stretched rapidly!

As time passed, its full picture gradually appeared in front of everyone's eyes. It's a huge black asteroid! The surface is smooth as a mirror, pitch black as ink, and there are countless weird styles, complex and dense huge patterns!

The pattern is three-dimensional, and it is like a living thing that is constantly undulating and fluctuating, and a heavy black mist surrounds the planet, making the planet itself looming, like a god from the depths of hell!

The cold, gloomy, and terrifying aura of despair became stronger and stronger, almost completely destroying the minds of the officers and soldiers present!

"All fortress guns, lock on to the target, bombard at full power!" Hudal suppressed the fear in his heart and ordered through gritted teeth.

Hundreds of thick pillars of light pierced the void and shot at the planet in a volley!

The black mist on the planet's periphery tumbled lightly, engulfing the astonishingly large amount of destructive energy without even a single repercussion!

Immediately after, a circle of jet-black aura emanated from the mist, spreading out in all directions with great speed! In the blink of an eye, they all rushed into the star defense system!

Hudal watched as the strange aura passed through his body, and then, a trace of dead gray quickly spread on the surface of his body, but in just two or three breaths, he had turned into a withered, mummy-like dried corpse!

", I've saved so much money, and I haven't had time to spend it yet!"

This was the last thought in his heart before his consciousness disappeared......
