"Let's go find Zhou Shaohang first, and see if they are still in the Ember Guild now, how they are developing."

It has been more than a year and almost two years since I left this star field to go to the Savage Star Field for archaeology to avoid the limelight, and I stayed in the real mode copy for almost a year before.

Two years is a long time, the wanted may still be hanging, but it is unlikely to keep it all the time, Fang Chen feels that as long as he keeps a low profile when he goes out now, there should be nothing wrong.

In order to keep a low profile, he only pulled one destroyer and ten frigates out and headed straight for the Divine Judgment system.

At this stage, the central point of player activities in this star field is still the Divine Judgment System, and although the trading channels of Hanhai Huanyu Enterprise are larger, the premise is that the reputation is high enough, which stumps most ordinary players and squads.

A banishment of the Ten Guards silently appeared in the Divine Judgment system, and there was nothing unusual until they were parked on the space station.

Fang Chen first found the intelligence organization and purchased some information about the Ember Guild and several surrounding guilds, as well as some well-known caravans and studios nearby, which naturally included Zhou Shaohang's information.

With the information in hand, Fang Chen sat on the bridge and crossed his legs to check it.

After watching it for a while, Fang Chen suddenly sat up with a soft sigh.

According to the data, in the past two years, the Ember Guild has suddenly risen to prominence, and a year ago, an elite fleet including more than forty battleships was obtained from nowhere, and before the other teams could react, they defeated the Scarlet Vanguard Guild in one fell swoop and seized their territory.

According to the information, this new fleet was commanded by a young man named Zhao Ruifei, and after defeating the Scarlet Vanguard Society, Zhao Xiaohui, the former military chief of the Ember Guild, abdicated, and he took over as the military chief, becoming one of the new triumvirate of the guild.

Outsiders speculate that this newcomer named Zhao Ruifei is estimated to be the son of Zhao Xiaohui, the former military commander.

With the support of this new fleet, which is not inferior to all the forces of the Ember Guild, Zhao Ruifei has surpassed the other two chiefs in the guild in terms of force, power and support rate, coupled with the great merit of defeating the old enemy of the Scarlet Vanguard Guild, he has become the actual speaker of the guild.

After becoming the president, Zhao Ruifei made drastic reforms within the guild, eliminated corruption, and vigorously promoted newcomers, and the current Ember Guild seemed to be reborn.

The external style is mainly domineering, flamboyant but not arrogant, winning the yearning of many young and ambitious players, recruiting many newcomers, and in just two years, the Ember Guild has greatly increased its power and external prestige.

"How could it be!"

Fang Chen was a little speechless, if he had come two years earlier, it was estimated that what happened two years ago would not have happened.

However, there was one thing Fang Chen noticed that the Ember Guild had not canceled its wanted notice, or that the original wanted of the Guild had not been canceled, but had instead intensified the crackdown.

This is the domineering nature of the New Ember Guild, which is extremely ferocious to its enemies.

Therefore, Fang Chen checked the embers guild's wanted notice for him, and the original bounty was between 1 billion and 10 billion star dollars, but it was directly doubled a year ago, and it became a bounty between 5 billion and 50 billion star yuan.

So he can't solve the enmity with the Ember Guild.

Similarly, Zhou Shaohang is not having a good time now.

Although he quit the guild peacefully, he was considered a traitor to the guild and has been suppressed because he dug up a group of people to quit the guild and build a small team together.

It is worth mentioning that Lu Guangren, who cheated Fang Chen at the beginning, has also come out in the past two years.

He himself is the son of Lu Shiyu, the high-level commercial director of the guild, Zhao Ruifei came back a year ago and joined his command, with the defeat of the Scarlet Vanguard Society, he is now the leader of the third independent brigade of the guild's new formation, and his status is second only to the commander of the guild's two fleets, not inferior to his old son Lu Shiyu.

It is also worth mentioning that Lu Shiyu's father and son have changed their doors at this time, from the chief executive Li Yuan's door to Zhao Ruifei's door.

Zhou Shaohang's current location is further south of the Ember Guild, nearly fifteen hundred light-years away from the Ember Guild, and has come to the extreme south direction of the Pioneer Star Field, close to the Savage Star Domain.

However, it was not in the same direction as Fang Chen's previous archaeological journey, and the distance between them was more than 2,000 light years.

This area is located at the very edge of the pioneering star field of human civilization, and further south, two or three thousand light-years away, there is an alien civilization called the Sharppa Commonwealth.

It is an alien civilization with a technology level of T4, according to the current data, the territory of this civilization is about 3,000 light years from north to south, nearly 4,000 light years from east to west, and there are seven star regions inside, with a total of 8 life planets and dozens of modified planets.

It is said that the Xapa Consortium was established by the joint efforts of several vassals of the former Lexsolla Great Star Sea Empire, although the technology level is only T4, but it has inherited a lot of the legacy of Lexola's Great Star Sea Empire, and its combat power must not be regarded as a T4-level civilization.

As the object of human exploration of the area of exploration, the starry sky between the Sharpa Consortium and the Frontier Star Field has gathered a large number of guilds interested in seizing the planet of life, including some very powerful guilds.

A small team of only a dozen people like Zhou Shaohang is very numerous and inconspicuous here.

Fang Chen's fleet passed through the control systems of one force after another, and came to an unnamed galaxy, passing through a fixed wormhole, and a triggered communication was sent to his battleship:

"This is the Brotherhood of Liberty control system, please explain your intentions!"

Fang Chen connected the communication, the light curtain popped open, and a somewhat familiar face appeared in front of him.

"Li Bin?"

The man was stunned for a moment, looked at Fang Chen carefully, and said in surprise:

"Fang Chen?"

Immediately pleasantly surprised:

"How did you find it?"

"I came to you on purpose."

"Welcome, to the outpost in the middle of the galaxy."

"Is this galaxy controlled by your team?"

"Yes, this galaxy and the four surrounding galaxies are under our control."

"Four is not bad, the Ember Guild only has a few dozen direct systems now."

"It's far away, we just don't have many teams nearby, and the area where each team can move is larger, if the Ember Guild is here, it's easy to occupy more than a hundred star systems."

"Oh, Captain?"

"The captain is taking the brothers in the southern galaxy, six hops away."

"Activity?"

"No, it's a small deposit with a nearby team."

"Small deposits? What mine? ”

"Iron ore."

"Good stuff!"

Li Bin nodded and said:

"Things are good, but I can't get anything, the strength of the other team is not much different from ours, no one is willing to give up, no one can help the other, and now it is in a stalemate."

"It's a bit of a hassle."

Fang Chen nodded, but he planned to wait and see it later, and help them by the way.

After all, Zhou Shaohang's strength was not very strong at this time, and the information he purchased before showed how many people and how many ships their team was now, and he knew it clearly.

A year ago, Zhou Shaohang only took twelve people with him, and half of them left one after another for various reasons, and now only half of the dozen or so people in the team are old people, and the other half are slowly recruited later.

A dozen people mixed up until now, a total of 6 cruisers, 27 destroyers, 147 frigates.

To be honest, this strength was no longer Fang Chen's opponent, and before he knew it, his strength alone was already comparable to their entire team.

This is the difference between Kaihang and ordinary people, and the development speed in two years is not much faster if you want to.

Not to mention the accumulation of capital, just building a battleship is time-consuming.

Under normal circumstances, it takes nine months to build a cruiser, two years for a battleship, and it has only been about a year since they came out to be independent, and they can't improve their strength if they want to.

Two hours later, Fang Chen found Li Bin at an outpost-level space station in the center of the galaxy.

There are two destroyers and ten frigates moored next to the outpost, and their daily tasks are to patrol at fixed points in addition to guarding the satellite system.

The acquaintances were quite happy to meet, and the two chatted for a long time.

By the time he came out of the space station, he already had a general understanding of their experiences and encounters in the past two years.

Worse than he had imagined, they would not only have to face local competitors, but they would also have to be suppressed by Lu Guangren from time to time.

Lu Guangren was even more stingy than he imagined, and after they withdrew from the Ember Guild, they openly began to suppress, sending fleets disguised as their opponents to rob and sabotage from time to time.

Obviously he has enough strength to completely eliminate them, but Lu Guangren doesn't do it, he just wants to use this humiliating way.

At the beginning, many old people who followed Zhou Shaohang couldn't stand this kind of constant suppression and couldn't fight back, and finally couldn't insist on leaving, and now they are still holding a breath in their hearts to persevere.

In the small talk with Li Bin just now, he was full of anger when he talked about Lu Guangren.

Fang Chen was also speechless for Lu Guangren's cautious eyes, some people are like this, they are extremely stingy and grudgeful, and they can only be completely killed when they encounter this kind of person.

It can be seen from what happened to them that he must have also been on Lu Guangren's enemy book, and the ranking is estimated to be very high, after all, he snatched a battleship that Lu Guangren had ordered for more than 200 billion.

With the pass given by Li Bin, the fleet crossed several galaxies in a row, passing through their headquarters galaxy and seeing the outpost space station in the center of the galaxy.

As a small team that has only been established for about a year, there is no starport-level space station yet.

The size of the starport-class space station is several times larger than that of a battleship, and even with sufficient materials and engineers, the construction time is at least three years, and they will not have time to build it even from day one.

What's more, they didn't build a starport, but used outposts to make do.

According to Li Bin, the main reason is that they are still unstable and cannot be built under Lu Guangren's suppression.

As long as they dare to start building, Lu Guangren is afraid that he will send a fleet to harass and destroy the foundation every day.

After passing through several galaxies in a row, Fang Chen came to the coordinate galaxy given by Li Bin, first opened the universe in his palm, pulled his fleet out, and let Skynet 4 temporarily command, and he took the existing fleet into the wormhole.

After two hours of traveling through the hyperspace channel, he came out of the wormhole and found that the mouth of the wormhole was actually in the starry sky not far from a planet in the galaxy, and the mineral deposit was on the barren planet less than 100,000 kilometers away from the mouth of the wormhole.

At this time, there was a fleet of similar sizes moored at each end of the planet's orbit, and there were no battleships.

As soon as Fang Chen's fleet approached, he received a communication from Zhou Shaohang:

"Brother Fang Chen, long time no see!"

"Long time no see!"

The fleet converged, and Zhou Shaohang directly pulled him into the internal channel of their fleet, and introduced him to his teammates:

"This is the Fang Chen I mentioned to you before, and he is also my own person."

There was a chorus of greetings in the channel, and old acquaintances from the past asked him about his recent situation, and he answered them one by one.

Without using excuses, he told them that he had gone to a distant place to dig graves in the past two years to avoid the limelight.

While they were chatting hotly, a team member was silent for a while, quietly opened a newsletter, and silently sent a message:

"Fang Chen is back!"

The news was relayed through many times, and finally appeared in the hands of Lu Guangren.

He bounced up violently, quickly opened the brigade communication and asked:

"Which squadron is available today?"

Immediately someone returned:

"The 1st Squadron and the 3rd Squadron are free, but the 3rd Squadron is collectively routinely maintained, and it will take a week to free up their hands."

"The first squadron is in position, go out with me on a mission!"

Someone in the channel asked:

"Are you going to Zhou Shaohang's side in the south?"

"In terms of time, it should be about time."

"Oh!"

No one in the channel spoke.

Not everyone is enthusiastic about this.

Although the Ember Guild has been updated quickly in the past two years, there are still many old people, and most of them know the grievances between Lu Guangren and Zhou Shaohang for so long.

To be honest, most of them couldn't see Lu Guangren's behavior, but there was no way, he was the boss and the captain, and he had to listen to his orders.

Of course, I can't see it, and I don't have much sympathy, and even many members who have participated in several harvests are quite willing to participate in the harvest because they can get a lot of benefits from each robbery.

In the galaxy, after Fang Chen's fleet and Zhou Shaohang's fleet were mixed, after chatting with the team members for a while, he chatted privately with Zhou Shaohang.

"I don't think your current situation is very good, Lu Guangren has been constantly suppressing, and it is impossible for them to develop."

Zhou Shaohang nodded and said:

"I know it's hard to develop, but you have to try, and it's not like it's not a complete failure."

"Oh, how do you say?"

He opened the star map of the Pioneer Star Field, pointed to their location and said to Fang Chen:

"Don't look at our current situation, we will be suppressed by Lu Guangren almost every few months, but this will not hurt our muscles and bones, Lu Guangren wants to scratch the mouse and play with us, we will do what he wants."

"And this kind of behavior can't last long, after the Ember Guild annexed the Scarlet Vanguard Society, the strength is already one of the strongest guilds in his star field, which is bound to cause changes in the diplomatic tendencies of the surrounding guilds, especially the two strongest guilds will definitely not allow them to rise, and there will definitely be a war between them."

"This is the opportunity I am waiting for now, and when they fight, Lu Guangren will definitely not be able to free up his hands, and then this will be our opportunity."

"Hmm...."

Fang Chen asked curiously:

"With your current strength, even without Lu Guangren's interference, it will be difficult to develop here, right?"

"I'll show you something."

Zhou Shaohang said mysteriously to Fang Chen, and took out something to show him.
