Star Sea: Explorer's Notes

Chapter 17
"Find the stronghold of the Star Thieves?"

Frege couldn't laugh or cry when he heard this.

Although those mentioned before are indeed the difficulties, the most troublesome thing in this opportunity is of course finding the enemy.

If a stronghold of the Star Thief Group was so easy to find, then the members of the Law Enforcement Committee would have come to the door to take care of it.

"Ask Patrick." Noah also sighed, "If there is still no clue, then we must immediately think of other ways, either continue to receive a large number of orders, or transfer the mining robot."

"In short, your life must be saved, no matter what the price is."

Frege didn't say much. In his opinion, Noah could completely abandon him and look for a captain again.

Seeing her working hard to save herself now, Frege silently kept this friendship in his heart.

He dialed Patrick again.

"Hey."

"Mr. Frege," Patrick looked a little excited, "Have you considered it?"

"Don't worry, it's impossible for our Aimier family to lower the price on this matter. I can guarantee with my personality that your robot will definitely—"

your personality?

Frege sneered in his heart, and directly interrupted the other party's chatter, "Let me ask you a few questions."

"Please speak."

"Which star bandit group hijacked your family's caravan, do you know?"

"I know, I know," Patrick quickly replied, "They released us all after they robbed the goods, as if they were not going to make a big fuss there, so—"

"I didn't ask anything else," Frege frowned. "You just need to tell me who they are."

"The Black Wolf Legion," Patrick seemed to feel the anger in Frege's heart, and he didn't dare to gossip anymore. "It's the Black Wolf Legion led by Jerome Hollus."

"Black Wolf Legion?"

Frege had heard of this notorious group of star thieves. They were ranked third on the reward list of the Law Enforcement Committee of the Galactic Federation, and their strength was indeed quite strong.

"You... forget it."

Frege originally planned to ask about the specific whereabouts of the other party, but he thought that this kind of news would definitely not be available with the strength of the Emmel family.

"By the way," Patrick added, "When the family encountered them, the other party only came out to threaten them, and it seemed that they had no intention of attacking them."

"I feel more like they are planning something there, maybe..."

"Where did you meet?"

"Emerald Corridor," Patrick replied immediately, "Mr. Frege, I suggest that you'd better not trouble them, after all—"

"I don't need your advice, hang up."

beep--

Patrick looked at the blackened plane, his inner emotions fluctuated.

With his brain, he has already realized what Frege wants to do at this moment. He admires Frege's courage in his heart, and at the same time he can't help but sigh a pity.

If this kid insists on going to die, his family will not be able to get that kind of high-performance mining robot.

................................................

"Emerald Corridor..."

The communication was hung up, and Frege stared thoughtfully at the star map that Nuoya called up in front of him.

The Emerald Corridor is named for the super-large green nebula that exists in it. Looking at the sea of ​​stars from the ship, it seems to be traveling inside a huge emerald.

As one of the few scenic star fields in the Galactic Federation, there is also a murderous intent hidden in this magnificent scenery——

The Emerald Star Federation is the place with the highest crime rate, bar none.

The Law Enforcement Committee once suspected that there were several large star bandit groups hiding here, but they had to evacuate this star field after repeated searches failed.

"In short, let's wait around here first," Noah suggested. "If they really want to take action, they will probably teleport the fleet directly from a simple star gate in the stronghold structure."

"Ah."

Frege naturally has no objection to this. Although it sounds ridiculous to sit on the sidelines, this is their only way at present.

................................................

[Large fleet group found ahead]

The smart reminder sounded, and Frege, who was still at the training ground, rushed to the main control room immediately after hearing the news.

"That's...the Brighton Merchant Group?"

Frege saw clearly the video information obtained by the probe. On the flagship surrounded by three battleships and dozens of cruisers in the fleet, a huge letter "B" showed their identities.

They have been in the Emerald Corridor for almost two weeks, and he spends most of the time in the training ground every day, once to pass the torment of waiting in his heart.

He and Nuoya glanced at each other. The appearance of the Brighton business group this time made them feel a little unusual.

If the Black Wolf Legion really intends to make a move, then they will definitely not let go of this extremely attractive fat sheep.

"Looking at the direction they are heading, they should plan to pass through the star gate, and there is still a distance of about 35 units," Guard No. [-] quickly calculated from the side, "At the speed of the fleet, it will take less than half an hour." You can cross the star gate and leave this star field through the leap channel."

The three of them looked at the screen in unison. The place close to the star gate is actually the easiest to be ambushed.

There are federal guards guarding the star gate, so many people will relax their vigilance at the end of the trip, thus giving the Star Thieves and other criminals an opportunity.

Are you coming...

They stared at the screen motionlessly. At this time, the area they were in was still some distance away from the star gate. In order not to arouse the vigilance of the Black Wolf Legion that might be lurking nearby, they left a probe near the star gate and quickly moved away. up.

At this moment, they are located near a mine star belonging to the Emer family, and the behavior rules seem to be no different from ordinary scientific research ships.

【warn!A large number of unknown fleets have been detected in the target area! 】

【warn!The current regional information network has been blocked, temporarily unable to get in touch with the outside world! 】

This series of warning sounds made Frege stunned. In the next second, a dense ship appeared in his field of vision, and the huge warning sign on the star map had already shown him the identity of the other party——

"It's the Star Thief Group!"

He couldn't help the excitement in his heart, waiting for two weeks just for this moment.

The last shot taken by the probe was the fleet that was twice the size of the Brighton Merchant Group, and the black wolf painting on the main battleship. Before they could observe more carefully, the probe was easily destroyed by a wave of light up.

"The Black Wolf Legion..."

Frege couldn't help but clenched his fists. At this moment, Noah had already reacted, and turned to Guard No. [-], who was on standby, and said, "Lock the position of the star gate immediately!"

"Locked, 7.2 units away from target."

"Speed ​​up immediately." Nuoya commanded.

Immediately afterwards, she stepped forward and tapped a few times on the console, and the previous sphere rose slowly from behind.

She inserted the emerald green crystal into a groove on the transparent sphere, and in an instant the whole sphere burst into a ray of light from the inside out.

A touch of emerald green spread from the sphere to all corners of the main control room, and then penetrated the outer metal plate, slowly wrapping the entire ship.

"Amrodia, stealth mode activated."

Frege felt that the surroundings were full of some inexplicable power. Although there was no obvious change from inside, Noah's relaxed expression told him that the ability of this crystal should be activated successfully.

"Crystals are considered consumables, and they will disappear completely after activating their abilities," Noah explained, "But at the same time as activating their abilities, they will permanently increase Amrodia itself. This time, the camouflage paint will be enhanced. fit and deform modules."

As soon as the words fell, Frege felt a slight change in the explorer's notes in his mind.

Controlling the ether, he turned the note to the page where the ship information was recorded, and he found that the level of the Amrodia had become [1.1]

I don't know what effect this level upgrade will have...

"The next step is to sneak into the star gate..." She looked up at the starry sky in the distance, "I hope to arrive before it closes."

Frege was also looking out the window, and he had already noticed the two sides fighting in the distance.

The flashing lights of various colors in the fleet looked as gorgeous as fireworks, but Frege had no intention of admiring them at this moment.

Although this was the first time he had watched a large-scale battle between the stars so closely, it seemed that the Brighton Merchant Group could barely hold off for a while.

"Hold on," Frege cheered them on silently in his heart, "at least until we come out."

The speed of the Amrodia quickly reached the peak of the regular universe, and they rushed straight in the predetermined direction.

A ripple invisible to the naked eye quietly appeared in the sea of ​​stars, feeling that the surrounding environment was gradually getting darker, and the green nebula had also disappeared. The faces of Frege and the three of them showed excitement at the same time. .

"Success!"

They looked at a dark giant star port not far away, and the wolf graffiti scattered randomly on the outer city wall.

No need to think about it, this place is the lair of the Black Wolf Legion.
