Qin Long led four destroyers to chase after two cruisers that had fled for their lives.

Although the cruiser is a small warship, it is not slow and relatively agile. In order to prevent it from turning and fleeing, Qin Long asked the destroyer to fire secondary guns from time to time, restricting it to maneuvering in a small area.

Now the powerful power advantage of the battleships of the Legion fleet is revealed, and even the cruisers, which are good at speed, are no match for these destroyers in normal conditions, and gradually pursue them to a range of 10 million kilometers.

Due to the transformation of Xingti, the battleship can still be launched in a high-speed maneuvering state, unlike the traditional battleship that can only fire the main gun after reducing the speed, after all, the main gun consumes a lot of energy first, which seriously affects the thrust of the engine.

The beams of the four main guns swept by, and the two cruisers with weak armor and weak protection ability directly exploded and turned into fragments and flew in all directions, forming a narrow debris belt, which was still flying forward under the impetus of inertia.

Qin Long sighed lightly at this time.

The battleship was moving at full strength, almost close to the speed of light, but in less than thirty minutes of flight, it flew more than 500 million kilometers, and it was already close to the outer star system of the territory.

Qin Long immediately gathered the battleship and hurriedly led the other three destroyers to move closer to the ant nest.

In this territory that was full of hostility as soon as he entered, throwing down two ant nests, even if there was a cruiser guarding by his side, Qin Long did not feel at ease, after all, the cruiser was okay at high speed, and the firepower was also strong, but it was not good to maneuver, if there were more than a dozen at this time, even if there were a few high-speed small warships, it would be difficult for the cruiser to support, and it would be difficult to take care of the end of the cruiser.

Because when he was chasing, Qin Long ordered the ant nest and the patrolman guarding to wait at a low speed.

So when I went back, because I had already sailed so far, I could only ask the cruiser to send a navigation signal to guide the four destroyers back.

After more than twenty minutes, he saw the cruiser Smash that was hunting the escape pod just now, Qin Long looked at the state of the surrounding battlefield, and was a little surprised in his heart, this was also too clean, there was nothing left except some wreckage.

Not a single floating corpse in sight.

Qin Long joined the cruiser Smash and followed the navigation signal to the ant nest.

Finally saw three huge ships, two fat ant nests, and a narrow cruiser. Qin Long ordered the fleet to speed away along the territorial boundary towards the boundary of the VII sector.

Since the Kizaki Territory is much larger than the Posidian Territory, the border is also extremely long, and in this direction it borders the Posidian Territory of Narik and another territory, forming a situation where the three territories are staggered and adjacent to each other.

It's basically a shortcut from the edge of the river system to the Tier VI from the edge of the river system.

There are a total of nine habitable stars in the Xiqi territory, more than double the number of Narik territory, and more than a dozen ore stars, although the number is relatively large, but the production is ordinary ore. There are four industrial stars, with a well-established industrial base, and the population is more than three times larger than that of Narik's territory.

His lord was a marquis of the Doros Empire, and he was friendly with the lord of the Cold Moon Territory, that is, Elise's father, and had several conflicts with Narik because of this, but Narik did not take much advantage of the opposing strong fleet.

The capital of the Kizaki Territory, Star Ikinade, the main hall of the Lord's Palace.

This hall is even more luxurious and huge than the council hall of Narik, and it still adopts a classical palace structure, which is also an extremely important one in the huge palace complex of the lord's palace.

At this time, the main hall was crowded with people.

Each of them is a dignitary, and it is usually extremely difficult to see a few, but now they are all gathered here.

There are still a few corpses lying outside the main hall, and they were killed and thrown there for some reason, and their costumes should also be nobles.

In the middle of the main hall was a coffin parked for the back of the marquis according to aristocratic etiquette, the lid was not closed, and a man dressed in the imperial marquis's dress could be seen lying inside.

This is none other than the old lord of the Kizaki Territory, Marquis Abt, who has just passed away.

Unlike Narik, the Marquis of Abt has no heirs and only one heir who claims to be his nephew, on the contrary, the Marquis of Abt has many heirs, eleven sons, daughters in more than thirty, and nearly a hundred ladies standing behind him.

The Marquise of Abt has long passed away, leaving no children, and the current Marquise is only a name but not a name, and has no name, and the empire at that time was very hierarchical, and she would not be named an official Marquise because of the death of the Marquis of Abt.

The old lord didn't care about these either, and didn't choose one of the many ladies to report to the imperial court.

For some reason, the old lord Marquis Abt suddenly passed away, and these eleven sons returned to the capital star from different planets, just to have the opportunity to compete for the inheritance of the territory.

The old lord Marquis Abt is also an outlier among the many lords, and he did not designate an heir until his death, nor did he report the heir qualification to the imperial court, and then the empire collapsed, and the Protoss took over, although he returned to the rule of the Protoss, but still did not report the successor to the Star Sector Controller of the Protoss.

The Protoss doesn't care about these, as long as they don't resist, basically the Protoss will continue to use the original things, which is very simple, the sparse number of the Protoss determines that she can't take on the heavy responsibility of establishing an empire, and can only maintain the original pattern for the purpose of controlling it now.

According to ancient tradition, if no heir is appointed, the heir should be chosen in the same way as the heir in order.

This can greatly reduce the strife and internal friction between qualified heirs, but there can still be some competition to maintain the vitality of the family or territorial ruler.

Now the people in the hall are divided into three factions, on the one hand, the second son Jared of the first line of succession, on the other hand, the sixth son Pylos, and the other faction, the youngest son Jayne, each with a large group of large and small nobles quarreling and scolding for the inheritance.

In the outer space of the capital star, there are still fleets of the three factions facing each other.

It turns out that the territory is blocking the border for a reason. The interior is busy fighting for power, and if the border is not closed, then even if you get the lord's position, you will look back and see that the territory has become someone else's.

It was not any of the three factions who made this decision, but the leader of the territory's army, Old General Pike, who was a childhood friend of the old lord and had always been by the side of the old lord, Marquis Abt, who was in charge of the army for him, and was the person he trusted the most.

But as soon as the Marquis of Abt died, the candidates for the heir were vying for succession, but he could not participate in it, first, he did not have this mind, and old Pike, who had no sons and only two daughters who had already been married, actually did not want to stand by anyone's side, these children grew up under his nose, and they were very close to him when they were children.

He can't make a decision to help this or not to help that, he can only let them choose for themselves, which is also the rule of the nobility.

The second is that he feels that he can't live long, and there is no point in doing this again, after all, the old marquis is dead, and he has no idea of continuing to be in charge, he just wants to wait for the election of a new lord to resign and go home to spend his old age in peace.

Although Old Pike thought so and made arrangements according to the state of emergency, he still did not expect the temptation of this lord's power to make these sons of the old lord go crazy like flies in blood.

The generals at all levels in the army have already been co-opted and corrupted by them, and the nobles of the various families have also heard the news of the death of the old marquis, and immediately chose to take sides according to the interests of the family and the friendship between them and the times.

As a result, each son had just killed the capital star, and they each flocked to the main hall with the big and small nobles.

According to the regulations of the old lord of the Xiqi territory, Marquis Abt, in normal times, each son cannot come to the capital star from the planet he divides and garrisons, let alone bring his own fleet, that is the rhythm of rebellion.

Jared, the second son of the first in line to the throne, shouted amidst the surrounding quarrels:

"Shut up, you all shut, I'm the first in line to the throne, I have priority according to the rules of lord succession, and, as your eldest brother, I'm more than capable of defeating any of you."

"I tolerate your current contention, but you can't change the facts." After speaking, he also pointed to several generals standing behind him.

"This is the strength, there are more than three hundred warships in the entire territory, and I hold more than a hundred of them now. What's the point of you fighting? ”

Indeed, after the Marquis's eldest son led the army in battle and died, Jared, as the second son, became the first in line to the throne. From that time on, as the eldest heir in the realm, he realized that it would be difficult to compete for the title of lord in the future, after all, there were fifteen younger brothers behind him.

So, he used the support of his mother's family to constantly attract and absorb the power of the army and the small nobles, and now he far exceeds the other younger brothers.

But what he didn't expect was that his sixth brother Pyrrhus also had the same idea as him, and after Jared's mother repeatedly proposed that the Marquis of Abt ask him to apply to the imperial court for the title of marquise and was rejected by the old lord, Pyrrhos was also secretly doing the same thing as Jared with the strong support of his mother's family.

The strength of the two is almost the same now.

The two main fleets facing off in the capital star's space are Jared and Pylos'.

As for the youngest son Jay, because he was born to the old lord, he was extremely favored, and he was regarded as the pearl of his palm, and he was only 13 years old, because of his father, he also attracted a group of nobles, especially his uncle is also the administrator of the current territory, in charge of the management of nearly nine livable stars, and is the third real power figure in the territory.

"Jared, if, as you say, I am equally qualified to inherit the lordship, and your fleet has more than a hundred ships, so do I. Even the sixteenth brother's warships are not less than those of you and mine. After saying that, he looked at Jayne.

"If it's calculated by battleships, it's simple."

Jay was still young and didn't want to participate in this fight, but his mother was not a fuel-efficient lamp, and gathered a group of cronies and nobles and a group of generals to help him fight.

He usually has a good relationship with several brothers, and these brothers usually spoil him, so he didn't speak at this time. Just frowning and not knowing what to think.

"Brothers, don't quarrel."

Old Pike, who was pretending to close his eyes and recuperate, suddenly felt an alarm from his communicator, and if it wasn't for something important, no one would dare to disturb the old general who was in a bad mood.

Without thinking about it, Pike directly dialed the alarm communication to a screen in the Great Hall, and immediately came the report of a border guard officer.

"Report to the general, there was an invasion on the border border with me in the territory of Posidia, the opponent's warships were extremely strong, and judging from the pictures that came back, the other side destroyed three destroyers of the patrol fleet with only one salvo, and now the entire patrol fleet has been wiped out."

"Possibly an invasion of the Posidian territory." This officer is also estimated to be a bureaucrat, and he made an estimate without confirming the number and purpose of the opposing fleet.

His estimation also misled many people at this time.

When the people who were arguing and abusing just now heard that someone had invaded, they suddenly came to their senses and looked at Old Pike in unison, this is an excellent opportunity.

General Pike said, "Since there is an invasion of foreign enemies, and I am no longer able to fight, I propose that this war be used as a qualification for the succession to the lordship, what do you think?" ”

After saying that, he also looked around with his slightly swollen eyes, he knew that the report was a little wet, and it had not been verified.

Qin Long's attack was characterized as an invasion of the territory without verification. If you want to talk about "Rise of the Void" with more like-minded people, pay attention to "excellent reading literature" on WeChat, talk about life, and find confidants~
