"The Quiet Stalker is one of our old fellows, a maverick general who has quietly left civilization with a small fleet so that no one can find him, and who makes one think that he has surrendered to their old adversary who likes to 'watch'. ”

"But one day, the old general returned to civilization with an unimaginably large amount of energy, and proved everything he had done with a recorder detailing his experiences while he was away."

"He destroyed a developed galaxy with a small fleet of no more than twenty people who were not even "scouts" in civilization, bringing back the energy there to enhance his exploits. ”

"'You want to buy me with energy? Don't you know that your actions will almost certainly go to court-martial? This is an insult to my personality! ’”

"—I wanted to reprimand him like that, but he gave too much."

"So he is now one of us, and has fought together in countless star fields......"

"Recently, though, he seems to be in some trouble, and it is said that he is already submitting an application for a 'title change'. Although we don't pay much attention to this, after all, it is also an honor, and it cannot be easily changed. ”

"And what's the name of the changed title...... 'Silent Stalker'? It's really written down all the things he wants to do......"

The diarykeeper rode in his car, leisurely shuttling through the interstellar space where beams of various colors flickered continuously, looking at the pursuers behind him and the artillery fire passing by as if nothing was there, as if he was not the one who was fighting alone in such a dangerous place, as if he was at risk of dying at any time.

At this moment, a small beam of light with a tricky angle suddenly shot from a hidden corner and went straight to the key part of his car.

However, seeing that the pilot, who was still writing a diary just now, had a fixed gaze, and seemed to be a little surprised by this attack, he finally made him stop writing a diary and began to operate the spaceship in earnest.

His car then avoided the incoming beam at a completely impossible angle, attacking simultaneously in the process.

The stealthy ship that had attacked him just now also dodged his attack, and then it was entangled with him, and for a while it was impossible to tell the winner.

This long-lost time has ignited the blood of the diary keeper, and it is the first time that he has had an enemy who can fight him after so long in this galaxy.

In the past, I either avoided him when I met, or I didn't do any maneuvering, and directly attacked him suicidally, and then was destroyed by him out of boredom.

He hates the feeling of "killing ants", and he hopes that his prey will struggle more, and even better to "bite" him, so that he can feel the almost extinct "bloodthirsty urge".

After being trapped here for so long, he almost forgot what it was like to "hunt".

Now that he has met such a person who dares to fight him, he can't bear to kill the other party for a while, and he wants to "play" a little longer.

For this reason, he had already begun to think about how he could just "defeat" the opponent instead of destroying the ship, and he thought that it might be a good idea to accurately hit the power system of the opponent's ship.

This can not only show the strength gap between him and the other party vividly, but also a good way to humiliate the other party without killing the other party.

So after another struggle, he used his slightly superior technique to hit the ship's power system with precision.

Seeing that the spaceship was already shaking, and the speed was dropping sharply, and he was about to find a planet to make an emergency landing, he couldn't help but feel proud:

“…… Sure enough, I'm still the strongest, and even the strongest of these people is just a defeated ...... of my men."

However, just as he was so proud, the crumbling ship suddenly returned to its normal speed, as if it had been directly affected at all.

Not only that, but the other party also came straight at his spaceship, looking like it was going to die with him.

At this time, his spaceship had to approach a very close position through some maneuvers in order to hit the opponent's "power system" before, and it was no longer possible to avoid the impact at this time.

And at this time, he realized through his superb eyesight that the destroyed was not the "power system" at all, but the fire control system, so it is no wonder why the other party did not attack again, but chose the primitive method of "collision".

But he was incredulous about this, because he had been fighting this group of guys for so long and already knew quite well about the layout of their ships, and the fire control system simply could not be in this position.

It was also when he was puzzled that a communication from the other party came, and he could have chosen to ignore it, but the sense of pity for the "chess opponent" in his heart made him open the communication.

It was a string of insulting words, and he knew the language of this civilization, so he could understand it:

"You X-day alien scum! I've been waiting for this day for a long time! Go to hell!!! ”

Then, the opponent's ship collided with his car, and a burst of dazzling light erupted.

The power of this explosion has far exceeded the power of ordinary spaceships to self-destruct, and it is clear that there is something else on this spaceship that amplifies the power of the explosion, in order to allow him to die in the explosion due to negligence.

He finally realized that he had been deceived, and that the so-called "chess opponent and sympathy for each other" was nothing more than his wishful thinking, and the other party did not hesitate to fake a false appearance to deceive him and kill him, which made him extremely angry.

…… Why is he still alive? There is no reason, because the performance of his spaceship is so good, far better than any of the most advanced spaceships of the other party, and this level of explosion can not even break the defense of the spaceship.

In the past, he didn't want to crush his opponent with performance, because he found this kind of "hunting" boring, but this time he miscalculated.

He had to admit that if they had used the same ship, he would be dead by now.

“…… I wanted to get along with you as an ordinary person......" His gaze suddenly froze, his gaze swept over the enemies who were still trying to attack him, and he seemed a little annoyed, and then directly destroyed all the ships he saw with an unimaginable weapon.

A series of explosions followed throughout the galaxy, eventually falling silent, leaving only his vehicle roaming the galaxy except for a large expanse of spaceship wreckage.

“…… That's it, right? There will be no more witnesses in the vicinity, and the other 'stalkers' will not know what is happening here, and my 'legend' will continue ......."

He said to himself, and then took out his diary again, and recorded on it, "On the XX day of XX year, XX month, three thousand seven hundred and twelve ships were attacked, and ...... were attacked."

At this point, he hesitated for a moment, then firmly wrote "Hits: Zero".

“…… It's inevitable, I'm a 'legendary stalker', and my car is the best 'hunting ship', so of course I can't be hit......"

Then, he closed the diary, and it was only then that the full picture of the "diary" was revealed.

It turned out that this was not a "diary", but a draft of his autobiography "I Am Legend".

The nameplate on the side of the draft shows his identity, as one of the best hunters in their civilization - the Legendary Stalker.

At this point, a communication arrives on his ship, and the source indicates that it is another "stalker".

The content of the communication is also very brief, and it reads: "Encounter the fleet of the 'Silent One', come quickly." ”

Seeing this, the "Legendary Stalker" did not hesitate to drive his ship and disappeared into the galaxy in the blink of an eye.

It wasn't long before a transparent battleship that seemed to be made of pure energy slowly emerged in the galaxy.

It seems to have been here since the beginning, except that the "Legendary Stalker" didn't notice it.

Floating out of the spaceship came a seemingly intelligent energy being, who searched through the wreckage-filled galaxy and eventually found a piece of flesh where the "Legendary Stalker" had collided with another warship and exploded.

The piece of flesh was still alive at this time, stubbornly absorbing cosmic radiation, trying to grow into its original form.

After finding the piece of flesh, the energy body returned to the spaceship and slowly disappeared with the ship.

If the owner of the piece of meat, the ace pilot from the "Exile", still had the original consciousness, he would have been shocked to see this ship.

Because this is a mysterious civilization that is also in the galaxy, fighting against "hunters".

They have no communication with the outside world, they remain silent all the time, and the only thing they will do is fight the "hunters".

Because of this characteristic, they called this civilization the Empire of Silence.
