"Communication protocol code 1-2-6-9-4-0. Start the orange alert! Blue Feather walked over to the console and opened the communication system based on the code stolen by the Dark Star.

[The password is correct!] 】

Color alerts are a special type of alert in the Empire of Demaxian's Empire outpost, and are a type of alert that can only be activated if the outpost is in great danger and cannot send back a full report.

Red represents the highest level and signifies the complete destruction of the outpost. Orange represents the next highest level, meaning that the outpost is near destruction. Yellow represents the higher sectors, which means that the outpost has been hit hard. Green indicates that the outpost is partially damaged, usually the communication system.

In both cases, a capital ship is required to conduct the survey according to standard operating procedures. Normally, a fortified outpost always sends back a complete report when it encounters danger.

The only conditions that can cause an outpost to activate a red or orange warning are a cosmic natural disaster, an attack by powerful arcane beings, an introvert by insiders, ......

And the most terrible scenario - the attack of an unknown civilization!

Cosmic disasters may affect the internal star field, and warships need to risk being affected by the aftermath to explore, and the best choice is the capital ship; Powerful arcane creatures are valuable prey and must not fall into the hands of the Syndicates and the Order; The rebellion of the insiders needs to be suppressed immediately, in case they send the coordinates of the empire into unknown space - this is strictly forbidden!

The invasion of the outer river system must even require the dispatch of capital ships.

[Orange Alert has been activated!] 】

The outpost's AI compiled a brief alert signal and automatically sent it to the nearest capital ship, Cain's Shattered Scissors.

The signal flew at maximum velocity to Shatter Scissors' communications antenna, arriving two weeks later.

It's completely timely, and now there is nearly a month left before the plot unfolds. It would take two weeks for the Shattered Scissors to arrive here, and two months after the exploration time, the time it took to turn back, and the time it would take to get to Ionan.

This means that Cain and his Shattered Scissors will drop directly in the middle of the game. Of course, this is a good thing for Cain himself—he can continue to be loyal to the Empire and not become a container for the Death Omen.

Yes, the possibility of Cain defeating Raaste and becoming the Emperor of the Universe is only theoretical, and the actual possibility is very small. The probability of humanity defeating the black hole spirit is too slim, and one of the prince's skins already hints at the end of the Odyssey being swallowed by the black hole.

The skin's backstory states that the Death Omen was once the monarch of an empire, but now his humanity has vanished along with his people.

Darkstar Gavin IV had a huge wound in his chest that exploded outward, most likely caused by the Shadow of the Cracked House of Rayast!

A virtual screen pops up on the dashboard. [The signal has been transmitted!] 】

Lynn deliberately had the Darkstar turn on the jammer, making the signal choppy and indistinct to enhance its authenticity.

"Brother, it's time for us to go."

"Okay." Blue Feather answered, put the unconscious sentry into the hibernation module, activated the short-term hibernation mechanism, and then walked out of the space station and boarded the Stellar Wind fighter to return to the hangar.

The Darkstar immediately aimed its main cannon at the outpost, and one of the main reactors slightly increased its output to power the main cannon.

The space was intensified, and wisps of energy in the void converged into the main cannon, and dark red energy waves rose from the muzzle.

The "well water" in the gravitational well of the "po~" asteroid slowly warms up, and then suddenly boils at the critical point!

Space is like a ravaged piece of waste paper, bent, broken, distorted. The main structure of the entire outpost was completely damaged, except for the hibernation pod, where a few "lucks" in the warehouse were intact, and the rest of the body was twisted into a ball of extremely solidified metal.

The asteroid where the outpost is located has evaporated in half, leaving behind a completely smooth slice that reflects the Dark Star as it enters a curvature voyage.

A jet of light flashed, and the Dark Star vanished!

…………

The Dark Star had flown three different suns during its voyage: one was in the prime of life and orange-yellow in color. The second one was huge, only one hundredth of the former, and its light was a dazzling blue.

As it passed by the third, dark red dying sun, the Dark Star received an unusual signal.

The signal was faint, but it was picked up by the Dark Asterisk's sensitive instruments.

The ship's supercomputer immediately searched the stolen database and found matching waveform signatures - the battleship's flying wave and strong arcane energy fluctuations.

The data shows that the flying wave belongs to two retired old model engines, but they are strangely mixed together. This means that they are mounted on a spaceship. The projectile is less than one-sixth the mass of the Dark Star, which means that it is a capital ship that has been retired for many years.

The capital ship that has been decommissioned for many years, the fluctuation of two old engines, is obviously a syndicate modification.

The arcane energy fluctuations emitted by the creatures they hunted down were quite powerful, and they were a kind of arcane creatures in the database called [Makula Astral Giant Shark], which was quite powerful.

Apparently, in a galaxy a little farther away, a syndicate is on the hunt for a powerful arcane being, trying to extract it from its blood and obtain a valuable fortune.

The weight of the [Makura Astral Shark] is as high as 1.2 million tons, and although it is only a fraction of the Dark Star, the arcane energy content in the blood is as high as 8%, giving this giant beast a considerable combat power.

Its combat effectiveness rivaled that of the Empire's new heavy cruisers, but its speed surpassed that of the Empire's battleships.

As a result, the battleships that had beaten it could not catch up with it.

The cruiser that could catch up with it could not beat it.

As a result, there is little record of successful hunting of this creature.

The blood of this giant beast is about 50,000 tons, and from the extraction of 4,000 tons of pure energy, what is the equivalent concept?

4,000 tons of gold in the Odyssey world! 4,000,000 kg of gold! 40000000000 grams of gold!

Enough to buy a space city.

In addition to this, there are also bounties on the list that can be received after hunting it, which are also worth a lot of money.

Not to mention that there are behemoths of body materials to sell. It is also a valuable research material in its own right.

Meat is a precious ingredient, and even the royal family has only been fortunate enough to have it once; Scales and bones are quite an excellent material when melted; Saliva is a precious perfume and spice; Leather can be made into leather bags that have captivated countless powerful people - and they are made of astral sharkskin! Its stones are unheard of gemstones............

It can be said that the empire is the large port of Bilgewater, and the hunting of astral beasts is the hottest industry.

The three were guilty of choosing difficulties. With a month to go before the plot begins, they have more than enough time to hunt the creature first.

After the plot is over, you can also go to hunt it, and the behemoth will be able to hold out until they return.

How to choose?
