"Your Excellency! You've finally replied!! ”

After receiving the communication from Duanmu Huai, Dadaniel suddenly showed a look of the rest of his life after the catastrophe, and Duanmu Huai also wanted to laugh when he saw it.

"Alright, don't pretend in front of me, just a colony, you won't die if you lose it."

"Hahahaha........."

Hearing Duanmu Huai's words break through his disguise, Dardanelle also smiled embarrassedly.

"Doesn't that show your importance and my admiration for you........."

"Don't talk nonsense, get to the point."

"Yes..............."

Dardanelle immediately restrained the smile on his face and became serious.

"Actually......... There are some things that I haven't explained to you before......... In fact, we are in one of the colonies......... The wreckage of a battleship that appears to be from an alien civilization has been found. ”

"Haven't you seen those aliens?"

Hearing Dardanelle's report, Duanmu Huai asked curiously, while Dardanelle smiled bitterly.

"What do you say, Lord Inquisitor, I am also a merchant wandering in this barren star area, you want to talk about human civilization or alien creatures, I have seen more or less of them, but alien civilizations ......... I haven't really dealt with them. ”

"Alright, let's go ahead."

"Yes, my idea at the time was to send some people over and see if I could find anything good. So I gave the order to my henchmen there first. He also secretly went to the battleship with some of his subordinates in the colony at that time, and found some clay pots and pots inside......... He said he didn't know what it was, and said he would take it back for analysis. I didn't think much of it at the time, but after that, the colony never heard from me again, and I was also upset, so I reached out to the henchman, but he didn't answer my contact. ”

"Hmm......... Most of the time I found something I shouldn't be looking for. ”

Duanmu Huai is also quite calm about this, there are too many similar things.

"Yes, but I also wanted to know about the colony, so I sent another team of men, and when they got there......... Sent me this. ”

As he spoke, Dardanelle opened the screen, and then Duanmu saw a dilapidated steel corridor. There are hollows everywhere on it, and there are even traces of guns, and it looks like a big battle.

"And then?"

"Nope."

Dardanelle shook his head.

"That's all there is to it, and then the team lost contact with me."

"So you sent a second team?"

"Yes........."

Dardanelle was really bitter at this time, although it was true that the loss of a colony, as Duanmu Huai said, was not a big deal for a merchant like him. But the problem is that every penny he invests in it is his own!

If you want capitalists to lose money, it will be more distressing than watching others make money.

"This time I asked them to keep in touch with me all the way, and it turned out to be ......... This time their ship was destroyed before it landed! ”

"Huh?"

Hearing this, Duanmu Huai's face suddenly became serious.

"You're saying the ship hasn't landed yet?"

"Yes, Inquisitor, that's why I came to you..............."

Speaking of which, Dardanelle was really scared.

To be honest, if it's just missing on the planet, at most it's just that the planet itself has a problem, and if it doesn't work, just throw it away at a loss. But this time, his battleship was destroyed before it could enter the atmosphere, so it must not have been the work of the local indigenous creatures!

In case the other party is a cosmic civilization, then Dardanelle will be blind.

He was frightened when he encountered the cosmic pirates before, and if he really fought with some regular cosmic fleet, there would be only one way to die.

So Dardanelle had no choice but to turn to the Inquisition.

"Uh-huh.................."

Hearing Dardanelle's report, Duanmu Huai frowned and thought for a moment.

"Do you have any records from that time?"

"Yes, I have a video of that time."

As he spoke, Dardanelle opened it. Then Duanmu Huai watched the video in front of him. I saw that on the screen, a man dressed very capably, was solemnly reporting.

"Report, we are about to reach the target planet, everything is normal at the moment, no ............... have been found"

However, the man's report was not over, and suddenly, a loud noise interrupted his report, and then Duanmu Huai saw the battleship on the screen shaking violently, and the man also fell directly to the ground, he hurriedly got up and shouted loudly.

"What's going on!"

"Report, we've been attacked!"

"Attack? Who is attacking us? ”

"I don't know, they ......... Oh my God..............."

With another explosion, the next moment the image stopped here.

"Uh-huh..............."

Staring at the image in front of him, Duanmu Huai nodded his finger.

From the current point of view, it seems that the other party appeared suddenly and launched a surprise attack, so that the people of Dardanelles were wiped out without even reacting. Of course, this is also related to the fact that his subordinates may lack experience in interstellar combat. Generally speaking, a transport ship like this will be escorted by a large group of warships, and according to Dardanelle, he only sent one transport ship to ——— so far, it is obvious that he is being used as a live target by the other side.

But what kind of civilization will it be?

Coming and going without a trace......... It can't be those damn blackskinned mongrels!

It's unlikely, but it's not impossible.

After all, when it comes to the old coins in the universe, the first thing that comes to mind is these bastards, isn't it?

"I see, I'll go check on the situation."

Thinking of this, Duanmu Huai also made a decision.

"By the way, send me the coordinates of that planet, what's its name?"

“LV426。”

After that, Duanmu Huai took a short rest for a day, and then took a few teams of night guards on the road and sailed in the direction of the planet on a battleship.

This time, Duanmu Huai didn't bring anyone else, not that they didn't want to come, but because Duanmu Huai was cautious. After all, the Dark Spirit Race can be regarded as one of the most notorious races in the galaxy, basically if you see the Dark Spirit Race, whether it is one or a group, killing it is definitely for the sake of the universe, and no one is wronged. This group of mongrels not only ran fast, but also excelled at covert raids, so this time Duanmu Huai did not bring a large army, but only brought a squadron of night guards, and even the battleship he chose was a Cobra-class missile destroyer that is known for its speed. And put the fierce firepower of the Yue-class cruisers and other battleships in the back.

After all, the hit-and-run tactics of those black-skinned mongrels are indeed a headache.

Ordinary warships could not catch up with them.

With the help of the network, it is not difficult to go to the LV426 planet, Duanmu Huai has not finished a cup of coffee, and the planet has already appeared in front of him.

To be on the safe side, Duanmu Huai had sent several reconnaissance ships to inspect the surroundings, but did not find any signs of the battleship's location. Of course, Duanmu Huai will not be blindly optimistic because of this, how insidious that group of black-skinned mongrels is, Dardanelle does not understand, he still understands. So Duanmu Huai ordered the battleship to hide and patrol the surroundings at any time, and at the same time, he also scanned the planet.

Judging from the results of the scans, it is true that most of the planet is a barren and lifeless place. However, there is only one site with a large number of signs of life——— and most of them are underground.

Well, this time it's time to burrow into the ground again.

"Hmm......... This area seems to be located in the facilities of the colony that Dardanelles said........."

Duanmu Huai glanced at the map and frowned.

Could it be that the people who were sent here before are not dead?

Anyway, you'll know when you go.

Thinking of this, Duanmu Huai gave an order.

"Ready to go, let's go check this place......... What the hell are you doing? ”

Soon, three Night Raven Black Star gunboats roared out of the battleship and flew towards the planet in front of them.

The entire planet was covered in thick clouds, in which lightning and thunder could be seen from time to time, and fierce air currents roared towards them, making the night crow and black star rise and fall like a small boat in the rough waves. Remember that Dardanelle said that he had built an atmospheric modification device on this planet, and now it seems that this is clearly part of the transformation.

Through the clouds, the rain rushed in and crackled against the windows. And Duanmu Huai skillfully turned on the wipers———Well, it seems that no matter what era it is, this is an epoch-making invention."

It will not go out of style for another 1000 years.

Soon, Duanmu Locust found the colony area below. On the ground, a huge, volcanic-like steel building was erected, and puffs of white smoke erupted from it and poured into the sky. Next to it, there are also rows of steel houses that look similar to those on the planet Pandora. It's just that at this moment, the outer walls of these houses have been closed by iron gates, and if it weren't for the lights around them, I'm afraid Duanmu Huai wouldn't think that there were people here.

But......... There's a light......... That is, the energy supply here is not cut off? This was unexpected. Logically speaking, since there is energy, there should be no unreachable things. Or is there some secret here?

Duanmu Huai drove the Night Raven Black Star around the entire colony, and did not see any traces of fierce battles, and the entire building was intact.

At least on the surface.

And the bird chart shows those life signals, just below the ground of these buildings.

It seems that now there is only one way to get a tiger if you don't enter the tiger's den.
