Over the course of two weeks, Cain commanded the Shattered Scissors to collect all the clues to Outpost 103, still clueless.

The analysis system gives various possibilities, one is the conspiracy of extraterrestrial civilizations, and the other is a natural disaster in the universe.

The Shattered Scissors had limited on-board intelligence capabilities, and for a more detailed analysis, it was necessary to have a nearby base send one of the best research vessels.

Cain ordered the captain to send a signal to inquire about nearby bases, and was told that there were no research ships in the fringe sector. This made Cain feel overwhelmed, and the limited budget of the empire forced the treasury department to prioritize important jobs and projects.

The deployment of research ships on the edge of interest is a loss-making account, and naturally no one will do it. Pampered scientists are also reluctant to run to the edge of the star where birds don't.

Kai Yin sighed, it seemed that the analysis of the sample was going to involve the Imperial Research Center, and he had hoped that he would be able to obtain this supreme honor alone.

The Shredder Scissors have sealed the samples and labeled them as universities and institutes directly under the Ministry of Science.

There was one more thing he needed to do before returning to the fleet.

Najuri, who was waiting for Ionan, sent a signal urging Kaiin to assist him in dealing with a group of dangerous elements.

Ai Onan...... Edge Planet ......

Kaiin wondered what his old comrade-in-arms Nagiuri had found there.

There was a shiver from the deck. The giant Shattered Scissors changed course. Captain Vischel has ordered the Flying Engine to reshape the singularity sphere around the hull, and to shift its course to Ionan.

Strips of light outside the portholes change hue. Ao Neng drove the ship's flying engines, creating a space-distorting sphere around the hull, allowing it to glide through the near-surface of subspace at a gap speed, like a stone cutting across the surface of a lake without being hindered by the current and surface tension of the water. The images of the astrolabe show that there is still six hours to go.

He didn't know that his close comrade-in-arms Najiuri had become a different person!

At this time, Najuri was cleaning up the last traces of Aionan to prevent Kai Cain from seeing the clues. The mission given to him by Blue Feather is clear, and he strives to climb up, trying to break into the heart of the empire.

At the same time, he needs to communicate more with his close friend Cain, and develop members among his subordinates, so as to strive for more power that can be fought for, and fight for the great cause of saving the galaxy!

Nagiuri stood tall and wandered in the scorching desert, expecting Kai Yin's spaceship to arrive, and he had prepared a set of logical and self-consistent rhetoric!

The results of Ai Onan's battle will become his further capital, and his old friends will definitely be willing to ask for credit and reward for themselves in front of their superiors!

What is the politeness of your own people? When your friends are strong, there will always be a day when you can help yourself!

…………

The desert planet Ionan has arrived!

The stars in the distance twinkled like lights and fireflies. The tracking navigation shows Ionan in front of him.

The arrow-shaped spaceship rolled past a curtain of asteroid formations, dragging a faint trail of pink mist down to the planet's surface.

Kai Cain manually controls the ship to land, following Nagiuri's beacon. The light of the sky is particularly dazzling by the reflection of the ground as it gently brushes through the atmosphere of ice vapor, then through the clouds, and then over the open ochre desert and saline land. The ship's wake kicked up dust on the ground, sending grit spirits flying wildly over the drought.

Ahead, mountains. Long, low ridges. The pink and brown rocks are carved by the wind into sharp cliffs, sharp and angular, like coral reefs growing from the bottom of the sea.

The beacon's signal is flashing wildly. He twisted the thruster nozzle to the braking angle, raised the nose and rocked the fuselage sideways, ready to land.

Below him was a high plateau flanked by a tall pink cliff. A military camp. Kai Yin glanced at it and saw the wreckage of two Imperial Transport Shuttles, as well as the fragments of three unidentified ships!

Cain immediately sensed that there had been a battle in the desert of Ionan not long ago. The winner of the battle was Naku, who was undoubtedly the winner.

He smiled, then lowered the landing gear and descended vertically.

"Welcome to the barren land in the deepest part of the universe," said Nakuri, who had been waiting for a long time.

Cain jumped from the cockpit into the scorching sun. He smiled. He has served on many planets with his old buddy Najuri, from the defense force of the Empire's core star field, to the Hound squad that pursues the Syndicate forces, to the Empire's elite trajectory fleet. They have spent countless days and months and established a deep comradeship.

Kai Yin guessed that Nakuri would say this, because in Nakuri's eyes, no matter where it is, it is the deepest barren place in the gutter.

"I don't think it's official, Commander," Cain whispered.

Order is important, and Najuri is right to be friends with him, but he must also address himself with honorifics.

Nakuri hesitated, and his smile vanished. He hadn't seen Cain for a long time, and now Cain was a noble and great cardinal general. "I'm sorry......," he restarted.

"What I'm saying is, 'Welcome to the barren land in the deepest part of the gutter, sir!' ”

They looked at each other and smiled, then hugged.

"It's been too long," Cain said.

"I'll see you, Si," laughed Najuri.

"What's the hell you're in trouble with?" Cain asked him.

"It was the Holy Messenger who brought us here. Two holy messengers, and a large group of believers. We cleared Kebol before, and they fled here. We thought they were just here for a stopover, but apparently that's where they ended. ”

"Why?" Cain asked.

"I don't know. So, we got here and brought them all together. Most to be exact. There are a few who don't know each other, so ...... Someone shoots, and then the same old thing. We fought, and ten people died, all of them men, and two messengers were among them. A fierce battle. ”

"How many of them have been caught by their followers?"

"Sixteen. Batches of subversives. They were all imprisoned in the cave ahead. ”

"What we didn't expect was that we met the damn Syndicate, those scum were so bold as to attack the Empire, and then there was another fierce battle, we killed a lot of people, and finally took them down!"

"Well done friend! Did Zago catch it? ”

"it, this villain is really fast, he abandoned all his subordinates and ran away by himself!"

Kaiin patted Nakuri on the shoulder and said in a suggestive tone, "Don't be upset friend, what you did really opened my eyes." All you have to do is learn. ”

He added: "Learn more from me. ”

"Come on, let's go see the prisoners!"
