There has been no progress on Lilian's home planet for the time being, and although the interstellar civilizations covet that fleet, they don't dare to do anything to deceive the Lost Empire.

The galactic situation is escalating further, and the movements of the "Far Travelers" are becoming more and more known.

Unlike the Watchmen, the Far Traveler's territory has a civilization nearby.

The name of this civilization is "Kuhl Federation", and while it sounds very serious, the old fritters of the galaxy actually prefer to refer to it as a "criminal enterprise".

Yes, this is a "global enterprise" similar to Crebo, and the difference is obvious, this company has gray area industries as its main revenue.

Every civilization has some dark places to a greater or lesser extent, and although these places can still be under the control of the government at first, the situation is different when criminal enterprises are involved.

Crime corporations do not shy away from their actions, and by infiltrating the black and gray areas, they can do business directly to the colonies of other civilizations, or even their home planets, without fear of sanctions.

For darkness can never be extinguished, except in the form of sapient machines and swarms.

As for the Lost Empire, it's all utopian life, and no one looks down on the criminal corps stuff.

But for ordinary civilization, this is very disgusting.

Due to the funding of the gray area by criminal corporations, many of the civilizations that have been poisoned by them have high crime rates, and have to spend a lot of manpower and material resources, and even compromise with the crime bosses, in exchange for temporary stability.

And that's how criminal corporations survive, and that's what they do in the galaxy.

Even if a civilization had temporarily gained peace through warfare, the criminal industry would soon have a resurgence again.

As a result, no normal civilization has a favorable impression of criminal enterprises, and they are eager to skin them.

The movement of the Far Wanderer has given hope to many civilizations, and each of them is praying that the Great Lost Empire will expel this disgusting criminal Cosmos Enterprise from the galactic stage.

But there was surprisingly calm on the board of directors of the Chur Federation.

“…… I don't think anyone has any opinions. ”

"It's natural, it's better to say that we've been waiting for this opportunity all along."

“…… Doing business is what Enterprise Universe loves best, and we never like war. If you can use commercial means to get your opponents, why should you get involved in these bloody and cruel things? ”

All the members of the board of directors did not have any objections, and for them, they liked to see other civilizations grit their teeth and hate them so much that they did not dare to do anything to them.

And so at the moment of the expansion of the "Far Traveler", a message from the Chur Federation came through:

"Great Lost Empire, we, the Kur Federation, are willing to give up sovereignty and become your vassal civilization. May you have a small part of our role in your revival. ”

Yes, they surrendered outright, without any resistance, without any escape.

However, this is only a superficial phenomenon, and criminal enterprises have found a strong backer for themselves to continue their business as usual. At least that's what they think.

And the "Far Travelers" also gladly accepted the refuge of the Chur Federation, and in their eyes, whether it was a criminal enterprise or an ordinary enterprise, whether it was an ordinary civilization or an intelligent civilization, they were all the same weak.

No matter what their idea is, they can't shake a single hair of the lost empire.

And just when the galactic civilizations were despising the Kuhl Federation's behavior of surrendering without a fight, Li Wenyuan also came to a special galaxy - a galaxy full of battleship wreckage.

"This place is ......"

When he first entered, both he and Grey Wind had surprised expressions.

It's hard to imagine what happened here, but the "corpses" of these steel giants almost tell the story of the battle.

His ship struggled to even navigate through the cracks, and even the light of the stars seemed to be obscured by layers of obstacles, reaching the edge of the galaxy.

And the planet here, like these warships, has become a wreck.

I don't know what caused the explosion that tore the planets apart, and there wasn't even a single intact piece of planet in the entire galaxy.

In addition to the central star still showing the life force, this place is a "cosmic graveyard", and all that remains here is the "dead thing".

“…… Is this also a trace left by humans? "Gray Wind always understands all the strange things to be related to humans, so he subconsciously asks.

But Li Wenyuan was silent for a while, and slowly shook his head and said, "...... No, this place is most likely not related to humans......"

He was just passing by this galaxy, but he didn't expect it to be such a terrifying sight, and although there was nothing unusual in the readings of the detection indicator, he almost subconsciously thought of it as a human relic.

But then, he was familiar with the wreckage of these ships.

Because he had studied the fleet configuration of other Lost Empires, he knew what the warships of several Lost Empires were like.

And the wreckage here, even after a long time, their characteristics still reveal their identity:

“…… This is likely to be the battlefield where the 'Watchmen' and the 'Far Travelers' once were. ”

Li Wenyuan recognized the drifting fragments, which could be identified after a simulated combination, all of which were battleship styles of "Watcher" and "Far Traveler".

There is nothing left here but the wreckage of these warships, and it only makes sense that they once had a great war here.

"Battlefield? Were these lost empires ever rivals? Gray Wind asked curiously, after all, she had been in the "Distant Star Gate" since she was born, and even if the outside world turned the sky upside down, it had nothing to do with her.

“…… I don't know very well, but ......" Li Wenyuan remembered the "purest treasure" of the holy place that was inexplicably blown up.

There was a conspiracy theory circulating in the galaxy that the "watchmen" deliberately blew up the Holy Land in order to justify their own revival.

But this conspiracy theory is not broken after the "Far Travelers" also appeared, and the Lost Empire does not care about what the outside world thinks of them, they can do whatever they want, and they don't need a reason.

“…… Judging from the situation here, the 'Watcher' and the 'Far Traveler' may well have been rivals in ancient times, and I can't imagine how far this would have to be to have to be to have such a ...... of debris that seems to fill up the galaxy."

"If that's the case, then the 'purest gem'...... Could it be that the 'Far Traveler' blew it up? ”

Li Wenyuan didn't continue to think about it, because the current "Watchmen" and "Far Travelers" have begun to expand, as if they want to regain their former glory.

If they have always had "ancient hatred" and are "eternal enemies", then this time the galaxy may be even more impacted.

“…… So is it the same with the 'observer' and the 'silence'? He remembered two other lost empires, one enthusiastic to the outside world and the other to close himself.

They also don't seem to get along very well.

"...... 'I', is it the same as them?" Li Wenyuan glanced at Gray Wind and finally stopped guessing.

"I've gotten so confident at any point...... Am I not a 'lost empire' in disguise? He forcibly comforted himself, but in his tone, he was not so confident.

After all, judging from all indications, the inheritance he inherited is really likely to be a "lost empire".
