"The 'Guardian' has another mission?"

When a message that ripples across the galaxy is received by civilizations, even the two warring sides are unanimous in their hearts about it.

It is better to say that the more they are at war, the more they need to seek all possible help.

And when they saw the reward, the mind that tried to stay calm could not hide its restlessness.

For no other reason, the reward for the "Lost Imperial Fleet" is so attractive.

Compared with the physical reward of resources, which cannot immediately increase the strength after being obtained, the reward of the "fleet" that can directly benefit is obviously much more important.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the galactic forces are about to undergo a reshuffle, and at this juncture, any increase in national strength is extremely important.

As a result, all kinds of adventurers who wandered among the stars quickly became active, both for their own civilization and for the rich rewards.

The adventurers with the official organization platform behind them obviously have to start the ship's engine one step ahead, looking for a way forward in the limited clues.

Civilizations are also offering big bounties to their citizens, and those who can provide clues will also receive a lot of money.

However, given the pityfully small amount of useful information in the mission sent by Li Wenyuan, apart from Lilian's general size, there was only a useless filter of "the planet may have a large amount of vegetation".

Adventurers in the galaxy don't seem to have a better way than to search for luck on the carpet.

However, Li Wenyuan didn't expect them to be found so quickly, and while waiting for the harvest, he was also paying close attention to the expansion directions and combat zones of various forces, and gave priority to exploring these places.

He wanted to explore these dangerous places before the situation stalled further, lest he be left with only a wreckage later.

But he, who is always unimpeded in the galaxy, rarely encountered a little "obstacle" at this time.

"This ...... Do you want me to pay a toll? ”

When his scientific research spacecraft passed by a space station, he received a message of "asking for money to buy the road" and was soon surrounded by a group of armed spacecraft, which made Li Wenyuan, who had not met "wise" for a long time, stunned for a while.

In addition, the message was filled with harsh and unpleasant shrill voices:

"Tolls - quack! Tolls! Give us the toll—hey, hey—"

It sounds like the gibberish of a madman, but the purpose of the language is quite obvious: they want tolls.

“…… No, this road was built by my ancestors, I didn't ask you for a toll......" Li Wenyuan couldn't help but complain, and then opened the star map very skillfully.

The scientific ship was now in an interstellar territory known as the "Komplar Marauder Civilization" before being stopped by these armed ships.

But he hadn't borrowed from other civilizations before, and he hadn't seen anyone ask him for tolls? There are even many civilizations that welcome with their hands raised, how is it different here?

For this reason, he reconfirmed the relevant remarks:

"Marauder civilization, this is a bunch of crazy garbage bugs. They used a patchwork of broken ships to blackmail the weaker nascent civilizations. ”

"But they will also accept employment and attack other civilizations on the orders of their employers."

"These garbage bugs have blackmailed the 'Turbulent Empire' and threatened to harass their borders without giving money, but they have never considered the distance between them by tens of thousands of galaxies."

"But the 'Turbulent Empire' still sent this group of garbage bugs away with a small amount of money, because they couldn't bear to be bombarded with shrill noises all day long."

"So they tasted the sweetness, and it seems that they began to intensify their extortion......"

After reading it, Li Wenyuan understood: "It turned out that he was asking for food......

This marauder civilization has no self-production capacity at all, and is very similar to the nature of pirates, relying on robbery and handouts to survive.

The only difference between them is that they are far more numerous than pirates, and have formed large groups that have taken over several galaxies and even divided their spheres of influence.

Since they had chosen a good location, they were not a short distance from each civilization, and it was time-consuming and laborious to clear up.

Even though they can't defeat many civilizations, they do have a hand in harassment, so they really let this group of marauders make a living to beg for food.

Basically, every civilization has been asked by them, and because there are not many demands, they are too lazy for anyone to go online, and they are basically sent away in a hurry.

And this time, they may have gotten used to their nourishing life, and hit the idea on a passing "Lost Empire ship".

They felt that the Lost Empire would definitely not bother to deal with them, and might even give a large amount of resources directly at once to deal with their harassment.

But the better their wishful thinking plays, the bigger the blow from reality.

Li Wenyuan was not used to them, and a fleet immediately jumped to this galaxy, causing the forces of this group of marauders to disappear like snowflakes.

In just a few minutes, the entire galaxy was basically wiped out, and it was difficult to organize a living force.

After overcoming the obstacles in the way, the scientific ship and fleet also left the area.

And this fleeting scene also fell into the eyes of a marauder youth.

He was born and raised among the Marauders, who had been trained by the Marauders since he was a child, and even regarded his Marauder civilization as one of the greatest civilizations in the universe.

After all, it seems that there are many civilizations that want to "pay tribute" to them.

But at this time, he was in an escape boat, and he was desperate to escape to other galaxies.

He witnessed how a mighty legion that he considered "glorious" could be crushed like an ant to death.

And these little ships that are running around can't even get the other party interested.

Doubting the pampered life he had lived all these years, he began to yearn for something more powerful—as powerful as the mysterious Black Fleet.

And in order to achieve this dream, he needs resources, a population, a reasonable expansion plan, and...... At least a little bit of civilization.

“…… What is this kind of life? The Marauder Youth slammed the cabin in rage, spitting on the life he had once been accustomed to.

“…… Sure enough, a plate of loose sand and lack of progress is the culprit, and it will never be possible to grow and develop except for being trampled to death by a passing giant one day......"

He began to think about the root cause of the problem and the current situation, but his lack of knowledge prevented him from going further.

So he was ready to improve himself, from all aspects.

He wanted to integrate these scattered, begging marauders and move towards the life he wanted.

At the very least, he never wanted to be seen as a beggar again, but to be the trembling presence of the master of the black fleet.

Maybe in the future Galaxy stage, there will also be a part of him.
