Star Lord: Rob the alien race and you will get a hundred times the reward

Chapter 101 Zerg vs. OmnicsChapter 101 Zerg vs. Omnics
The information brought by Yang Zhenshan made Liu Wen very unhappy. After only a few years of peace, the intelligent machines were causing trouble again, and his level 7 battleship had not even left the testing ground.

I thought that with Yang Zhenshan and other level seven fighters to hold off the high-level intelligent machines, it wouldn’t be difficult for the Human Alliance to block the opponent’s attack. But in a blink of an eye, I found that Yang Zhenshan had actually set his sights on the butterfly creatures that he had just cultivated to level seven. These butterflies are his treasures now, and he even asked the biological department to be cautious when conducting genetic sampling and testing their length conditions. I didn’t think of sending them to the battlefield so soon.

There are currently only fifty-four butterfly creatures. Now, thanks to the contribution of the Void Energy-Eating Fish, they have reached adulthood and have the ability to reproduce. He also plans to let this group of butterflies lay a batch of eggs as soon as possible to expand the number of butterflies. As mothers, they don’t even have time to protect them, so how can they be sent to the battlefield so easily?

”Lord Liu, we are old acquaintances. The Saint Lingxin who took action last time will not be so lucky to save you again this time. The Human Alliance currently has no intention of starting a large-scale war with the intelligent machine civilization. So, I advise you to do things within your ability and don’t overestimate your strength and cause irreversible consequences.” Yang Zhenshan said meaningfully.

Liu Wen spread his hands and smiled helplessly: ”I never fight a war that affects my homeland, because I know very well that my territory in this void is nothing, but isn’t it just you fight me and I fight you to open up the star field? If the pioneering lords trained by the Human Union don’t rise from war, then what are they doing here?”

”War is inevitable. We can only control the scale and frequency, develop the territory’s technological level, and plunder the resources of other races. This is what the Human Union needs us, the pioneering lords, to do.”

”War is a catalyst and a petri dish. The Human Union does not need a kingly man who grew up in a gentle hometown. It only needs a hero who can protect human civilization from the wind and rain.”

Yang Zhenshan was very satisfied with Liu Wen’s answer: ”You are right. Congratulations on becoming Viscount Liu Wen.”

Conferring the title of Viscount-level pioneer lord is one of Yang Zhenshan’s main tasks here this time. The conversation just now was also in accordance with Chang Lie’s assessment of Liu Wen. Although the result will not affect the Human Union’s granting of the title, it will affect the level of support given by the Human Union. At least if the score on resources and immigration is too low, the amount will be greatly reduced.

Liu Wen waved his hand. The pioneering lords were divided into six levels: king, duke, marquis, earl, viscount, and baron. When one reached the duke level, he would be completely equal to the human kingdom, not just in name only.

When one reaches the king level, the territory one has occupied at least thousands of star systems. By paying relevant fees, the territory can be moved back to the human territory of the main universe and become a new human kingdom.

This is the goal of all pioneer lords, but there have been only a few successful ones over thousands of years, and more pioneers have buried their lives in developing star fields.

The title of Viscount Lord is of no use to Liu Wen at all. The technological support from the Human Union is not as convenient and fast as that purchased from the Interstellar Alliance. The only drawback is that it costs a lot of money.

As for resource support, no matter how much the Human Alliance increases its efforts, there will always be limitations at the Viscount level. How can it compare to the benefits of the Combined Fleet Trading Market in his hands?
With the technology and resources contributed by hundreds of alien races, he could earn hundreds of times more profit than other lords just by using the right of first refusal. After the establishment of the joint fleet, when had he ever lacked resources?
The only thing that is somewhat useful is the immigration quota. However, the immigrants of the Human Alliance are mainly ordinary people, and the human elites basically apply for it themselves. The number is very small. After having a population of tens of billions, Liu Wen can no longer care about immigration. He only needs to reproduce two or three generations, and the talents he cultivates will continue to appear.

Therefore, he only lacks time to develop and settle down, and he is very averse to war, even if there is a golden finger that will give rewards. After all, the golden finger will not be given directly to the population. The reward for technical talents can only be obtained through subconsciously guiding the other party to actively join. It can only be obtained occasionally after capturing a large number of alien talents, and the reward can only be obtained twice.

Therefore, the title of Viscount is of no use to him now.

Perhaps seeing Liu Wen’s thoughts, Yang Zhenshan said solemnly: ”Sir Star Sea Lord, do you know why the Human Union classifies pioneer lords?”

”I really don’t know about this.” Liu Wen really didn’t know the reason. What he had heard and guessed before were all to facilitate the planning and incentives of the pioneering lords and the Human Alliance.

”The Lord Classification System appeared three hundred years after the Development System. Its main purpose is to connect with the Interstellar Alliance’s joining system, allowing Lord territories to join the Interstellar Alliance through independent civilization forces, thereby preserving the flame of human civilization to a greater extent.”

”The second reason is that the Human Union has limited resources and cannot support all pioneering lords. The lord classification can provide different support strengths and directions through different levels, easing the factional competition within the Human Union.”

”Third, the pioneer lord system originated from the human civilization of the previous era of the universe. From some inherited information, we know that the human civilization of the previous era had a unique special authority. The permissions of pioneer lords of different levels are also different, and the special rewards they receive are also different. The human civilization of this era has not inherited that special authority, but it is said that it can derive related affairs on its own. This is also what the Human Union has tried.”

”Fourthly, the nature of human beings has never been to love each other. Competition and fighting are common. In order to continue the normal human civilization, the Human Union needs some iron-blooded fresh blood to join the Human Union and push the Human Union forward. Use this external pressure to curb possible malicious competition within the organization.”

”Fifth, the universe is not peaceful. Human civilization is always fighting, not only for expansion and survival, but also for the future of the strong themselves. This makes these strong people urgently need more companions, because the enemies are too many and too powerful.”

……

Liu Wen was thoughtful after hearing this. It seemed that after becoming a viscount, his authority in the Human Union allowed him to obtain a lot of confidential information. Otherwise, Yang Zhenshan would not have said these words to him at this time. All of this revealed the darkness within humanity. Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes. The struggle for power is inevitable everywhere. The noble morality of unity of purpose is not applicable to human civilization.

The two chatted for a long time, and the content of the conversation opened Liu Wen’s eyes. He learned many things that he was not qualified to know before, and also got to know all kinds of big news.

The two of them didn’t care too much about the attack of the intelligent civilization, because they knew that the intelligent civilization couldn’t break in with its current strength, and it would only result in mutual losses. It could weaken the joint fleet to a certain extent, and both of them were happy to see it happen.

There are too many alien civilizations in the combined fleet. Over the past few years, although their development speed is not as fast as that of the Xinghai Territory, it is equivalent to the development of the past few decades or hundreds of years. With a large amount of resources exchanged, the strength of these alien civilizations has increased by one or two times or even more. Being able to weaken some of their strength through normal war channels and slow down their development speed is a good thing for the Human Union and Liu Wen. They don’t want to see an alien civilization really stand up under the noses of humans and become a reef on the road of expansion.

Therefore, Liu Wen only issued an order to prepare for war, but did not inform the Combined Fleet of the true situation. Even the human lords serving in the Combined Fleet did not specifically remind them. Only Michelle and Luo Shaohua obtained the specific information.

A month later, Luo Shaohua, who was on duty at the intelligent wormhole, convened a meeting of the commanders of the garrison fleets of various civilizations as usual to arrange patrol tasks and shifts. He was ready to practice psychic powers after finishing the matters at hand. He was now about to step into the fifth-level psychic, and it was a critical time for the sprint.

Just after the meeting, space fluctuations appeared in the intelligent wormhole. The energy tide generated by the spacecraft passing through the wormhole rose rapidly and soon exceeded the highest scale of the previous two years. The warning signal spread to all fleets, and the defense system immediately entered the first level combat readiness state. The fleets also began to assemble according to combat formations.

The news of the abnormality in the intelligent wormhole was quickly delivered to the members of the Combined Fleet. Under Liu Wen’s order, the Combined Fleet headquarters quickly assembled all fleets to prevent any accidents. At the same time, he also conveyed through the representative stationed in the Combined Fleet the preparations for reinforcement and increased weapons production.

The battle started when Liu Wen was communicating with the representatives of the affiliated forces. The attack of the intelligent civilization was as fierce as ever. Warships rushed out of the wormhole in batches continuously. All kinds of large-scale lethal weapons were dropped at the mouth of the wormhole without any cost. After a few rounds, the defense system that the joint fleet had operated for several years was destroyed to pieces. The overall defense line was pushed back four light seconds, giving the intelligent fleet some room to move.

With the space for the intelligent warships to move around, the attack on the defense array is more ferocious. The number of warships gathered each time is gradually increasing. No matter how the energy cannons roar or how the lasers rain down, they are still expanding outward forcefully.

Among the flying wreckage of warships, the warships of the intelligent civilization are getting higher and higher in level, with fortress-class battleships mixed in with ordinary cannon fodder warships, and flagship-class battleships covering sporadic special warships to attack outward.

The combined fleet stationed at the entrance of the wormhole began to suffer casualties under the occasional attacks of special weapons. The defense system was torn open by the intelligent civilization using human wave tactics. A large number of intelligent warships launched a desperate charge against the combined fleet, using themselves as shields to provide output opportunities for friendly forces in the rear.

The battle became more and more intense. Luo Shaohua frowned as he watched the intelligent mechanical fleet, which was contrary to its usual practice of investing large amounts of lethal weapons. This was not right. Even if the intelligent mechanical civilization had no shortage of fleets, they would not consume weapons in this way. With this kind of consumption method, the enemy would definitely lose.

The combined fleet of fifty legions, with the assistance of the defense system, has destroyed the intelligent fleet of more than twenty legions, while its own casualties were less than one hundred warships. Only after the defense system was torn apart did the losses gradually begin to increase, but compared with the losses of the intelligent fleets, they are still almost negligible.

”I feel something is wrong. The attack of the intelligent civilization is very impatient and aggressive. This is not in line with the rational way of thinking of intelligent machines. Did something happen in their homeland? Or is there something here that attracted the other side?” Luo Shaohua was full of confusion.

Shirley also discovered something was wrong and quickly checked the intelligence data sent back by the Intelligence Department. Unfortunately, there was nothing useful because the detectors sent by the Intelligence Department could not reach the galaxy where the intelligent machines were located. Now the situation was urgent and she could not care about the losses. She ordered the Intelligence Department to use the third reconnaissance plan and send a cannon fodder fleet to forcibly break into the galaxy to obtain intelligence information.

The intelligence unit lurking in the void outside the Tuomu Thunder Galaxy immediately activated the biological battleship breeding device after receiving the information, and then evacuated the base.

Two hours later, when the first batch of joint fleet reinforcements, 150 legions, arrived at the wormhole battlefield, the 500 biological warships of the biological fleet were also hatched and began to absorb the energy stored in the base and grow rapidly.

The number of the intelligent mechanical fleet at the wormhole entrance has exceeded fifteen legions. A large number of main battleships exchange fire with the combined fleet under the cover of mobile fortresses. A large number of low-level battleships launch a desperate charge against the combined fleet, carrying weapons of mass destruction, which have a huge impact on the combined fleet.

The flying wreckage of warships obscured the vision of both sides. The fire control radar could not even lock onto the enemy warships. They could only conduct concentrated shooting based on the direction, suppressing the offensive pace of the intelligent machines as much as possible and destroying more intelligent warships.

The defense line composed of nearly two hundred legions and the stepped firepower distribution made it impossible for the intelligent fleet to break through the defense line, but instead caused more casualties.

It is not known whether the intelligent machines were really anxious, but when they found that the conventional warships were unable to break through to the front of the combined fleet, they simply mobilized the main battleships lined up in the rear and launched a charge under the leadership of the mobile fortress. They used special warships to try to create a gap in the face of the dense firepower network of the combined fleet.

Although Luo Shaohua didn’t know what the purpose of the intelligent civilization was, his mission was to guard the entrance of the wormhole. Naturally, he couldn’t just watch the other side break through the defense line. He immediately ordered the use of special weapons to suppress the charge of the intelligent fleet.

Hundreds of special weapons were dropped from various locations, silently shuttling through the wreckage to the intelligent fleet. Intense light radiation like a supernova explosion suddenly appeared, and powerful electromagnetic fields appeared along with gravitational waves. A large number of intelligent warships and equipment were destroyed by the electromagnetic fields, becoming a pile of scrap metal floating in space.

The charge of the intelligent fleet encountered a head-on attack and was forcibly interrupted by the combined fleet. Although the remaining warships were still charging and the warships that had destroyed their equipment were also flying forward due to inertia, the counterattack firepower of the intelligent fleet dropped sharply by several levels and was easily suppressed in the firepower exchange with the combined fleet.

Just as the two sides were fighting fiercely at the entrance of the wormhole, in the intelligence base of the Tuomu Lei Ting galaxy, the biological fleet had grown completely and began to advance into the galaxy, rapidly accelerating to 80% of the sub-light speed, and then starting the highest multiple of curvature navigation. Wrapped in the space bubble, 500 biological warships, under the defensive firepower that came out of nowhere, successfully crossed the space interference area on the edge of the galaxy after nearly half of the warships were damaged in the battle.

After initiating the jump, the remaining biological warships jumped to various places in the galaxy, dropping detectors along the way.

Soon, the intelligence within the Tuomu Thunder Galaxy was passed to Shirley by the intelligence department. When she opened it, she saw a scene of the Void Zerg fighting against the intelligent machine civilization.
