097 Locust transit

While the Imperial defenders were struggling to fend off elven attacks from the two systems of Hehor and Aurora, the Supreme Prophet Salazar led all the remaining fleets of bonebones through the hazy interstellar dust.

The Imperial defenders' line of defense separates the southwest cantilevered arm of the Lost Dream Constellation from the inner belly of the constellation, but as long as they get past the line, they are left to explore the vast star fields behind.

Unhindered along the way, the Skeleton Fleet sailed unhindered along the miniature cantilever to the center of the vortex under the guidance of the Prophet, and their movements had never been smoother since entering the Lost Dream Nebula.

"Planet 111, the evolutionary stage of indigenous civilization is the early stage of atomic energy."

"Planet 112, the evolutionary stage of indigenous civilization is the late stage of chemical energy."

"Planet 113, the evolutionary stage of indigenous civilization is the middle ...... of atomic energy"

The results were reported one by one, and the fleet headed to the center of the vortex to perform a simple and quick shallow scan of each galaxy in its path, only to get an idea of the level of civilization in those galaxies - the Fódlan's Ark spirits were accustomed to using energy technology to rank civilizations.

Similar to previous reconnaissance on the outer side of the nebula, in general, the closer the natives are to the center of the vortex, the more evolved their civilization becomes.

The results of these investigations, which coincide with the prophecies of the Prophet Salazar in the past, are of little practical significance, but they can reassure people's hearts.

"Planet 114, Indigenous ...... There are no natives, this is a dead planet. ”

Another message reached Salazar and the chiefs of the various Spirit clans within the Ark through the psionic network, interrupting their ensuing discussion.

"Dead Planet, how is that possible?" Salazar first doubted the authenticity of the information reported by the reconnaissance team.

Because in his observations, the planet number 114 is connected to tens of millions of threads of fate, which means that there are at least tens of millions of intelligent beings on it.

"Return, the results of the reconnaissance are correct, Planet 114 is a dead planet...... No, it's worse than that. ”

"The planet has no atmosphere at all, the surface of the star is full of holes, there is not a trace of life, there is no formal organic matter, and there are no mineral deposits of value; All in all, there is no resource on Planet 114 that could be used by intelligent life. ”

There's an idiom from Holy Terra that is perfect for describing the planet's current state - locust transit.

"However, there are some man-made mechanical facilities floating in the orbit of Planet 114, which is suspected to be the wreckage of artificial satellites, which should have been an indigenous planet in the post-atomic era of civilization evolution."

"For some reason, this planet is over-squeezed to the point where it can't squeeze out any oil and water, it's strange......"

Salazar breathed a sigh of relief, it was glad that his divination was not wrong, there was indeed an indigenous civilization on Planet 114, but this civilization was destroyed by external forces, not only genocide, but the entire planet was completely drained.

At the same time, it is also a little puzzled, because the remaining traces of explosions on the wreckage of the satellite in orbit are still very new, and the destruction of the planet is only a few years ago.

The collapse of a civilization of this magnitude would inevitably stir up turbulent waves in the sea of souls, and Salazar thought that he could not fail to observe such a great movement.

Confused, the Spirit Bone Fleet continued to scout the surrounding celestial bodies while delving deep into the Dreamless Constellation. A series of short but terrifying scan reports came up one after another:

"The indigenous civilization of Planet 153 has been destroyed, and the entire planet has been completely drained."

"The indigenous civilization of Planet 154 has been destroyed, and the entire planet has been completely drained...... There are many small space bases on the planet's satellites, and they have already taken their first steps to the stars. The civilization evolved to the eve of the space age. ”

"Planet 155 ......"

The results sent back by the different reconnaissance teams were highly identical, as if they had not found a single living planet since the fleet's voyage crossed a certain line. One after another, the depleted planets that have been eaten and wiped out are constantly swiping the screen on the Void Dragon, telling the story of the apocalyptic catastrophe that this star field has endured in the past few short years.

Salazar was completely confused, the destruction of life on this scale should have set off angry waves in the subspace, and the thread of fate should never be the calm and supple appearance it observed, but this is the case, hundreds of depleted worlds like locusts crossing are right in front of him, and he can't help but deceive himself.

"What the hell is going on here?"

"Why the hell are they still moving forward?"

Beyond the course of the Spirit Race's advance, in the open space between the two miniature cantilever arms, the Gray Gu Mothership with the Psionic Stealth Field silently observed the Spirit Bone Fleet's passage through hundreds of depleted worlds, and was still moving forward firmly and cautiously.

Seeing such a number of depleted worlds and traces of the collapse of civilizations, anyone could detect that something was wrong with this star field, and the dangers lurking within.

- If you know that there are dangers and strange things, why do you still bury your head in the future?

"Because there's no turning back." Russell sat in the core compartment of the gray Gu mothership and leaned back slightly, and said nonchalantly: "This is a sunk cost problem, Fódlana pinned all their hopes on the so-called Pure Land, and they mobilized all their forces to plan this operation, and they paid too much price for it...... So big that even looking back is blaspheming those compatriots who fought with their lives to fight for this opportunity for them. ”

"Then we should not live up to their sacrifices." Grey Wind squinted his eyes and said, "The swarm of Coroniai is coming in batches through the Measuring Bullet Bow, and with the help of the Warp Engine, it will soon be able to assemble and encircle the Spirit Clan fleet - Marshal, when are we going to attack?" ”

"Don't worry, my real goal hasn't come up yet." Russell shook his head: "It's not easy to set up this bureau, if you just eat such a Spirit Clan fleet, I'm sorry for the lot of energy and massive resources I've spent over the years." ”

"You've been playing with Coloniae...... We do the work. Grey Wind said faintly.

"If the marshal has to do such a thing as screwing the bullet bow, then I will be too much of a failure as the marshal." Russell half-jokingly dissolves the resentment of Grey Wind peacefully.

Grey Wind also felt a little strange that it wouldn't care about this kind of thing before, so he tried to change the subject: "If your target isn't this Spirit fleet, then what's that?" ”

It couldn't think of a more important strategic objective than this Eldar fleet with multiple Leviathan ships.

"Yes, isn't it the Ark World Ship of the Spirit Race." Russell said with a smile.

"Ark World...... However, there is no network exit in the Dream Lost Star Cluster, and the Spirit Race does not dare to sail into subspace. Even if Fódlan's Ark World Ship departs from Aurora Starfield now, it will take too long to get here at sub-light speed. Grey Wind said.

Russell shook his head: "Who said that the network exit must be fixed somewhere?" ”
