With the support of a ninth-level civilization, do you want me to believe in electronic gods?

Chapter 316 Price
The edge region of the Bray galaxy.

The density of interstellar matter here is extremely thin, and even the starlight coming from afar appears very dim.

This can almost be called a forbidden zone for civilization - in a cosmic bubble, most civilizations do not have the ability to set foot in this barren land.

Suddenly, an unexpected fluctuation in time and space broke the tranquility of the starry sky.

Waves suddenly arose on the calm ocean of time and space.

A fleet slowly emerged in the dim starry sky.

The fleet is not large, with only a few thousand warships at most.

but……

In the center of these thousands of warships, there is a silver-white planetary fortress hovering!

Swish!
The fluctuations of time and space flashed again, and this fleet consisting of planetary fortresses and thousands of conventional warships quietly disappeared into the visible universe.

A ripple that gradually moved away appeared on the ocean of time and space that had just returned to calm.

The direction in which the ripples spread was the Bray Galaxy not far away!
……

Two thousand light years away.

The central area of ​​the 943 Free Trade Market in the Bray Alliance.

Unlike the usual atmosphere, the atmosphere inside the labor exchange at this moment seems particularly solemn.

"What? This is impossible!!"

A sharp voice came from the closed door of the exchange: "The colony ships of the Numazu Civilization have passed the security inspection procedures of the free trade market. How could such a situation occur?!"

inside the door.

Ya Gaoduan sat in a wide chair, staring at the screen in front of him.

Deep in his eyes, there was a hint of doubt and surprise.

"Sir Yagao, this is the fact."

On the screen, Najib raised his right wing, tapped the screen next to him lightly with his sharp nails, and skillfully called up several video files.

The data clearly presents the interior scenes of each Swampy Colonial Ship.

Yagao looked expressionlessly at the simulated dummies lying in the hibernation chambers on the screen, and the doubt in his eyes gradually turned into anger.

Before Yagao could speak, Naji's soft but equally sharp voice rang out: "The Numayuan civilization discovered a loophole in the security inspection procedures, forged a large number of simulated dummies, and successfully passed the security inspection procedures."

"Preliminary interrogation results show that the masterminds of this incident are Captain Olaya and Councillor Baroka from the Swamp Civilization."

Najib briefly told Yago the results of the previous inquiries.

“Olaya, Baroka…” Yagao looked a little gloomy.

The transaction process took only a month, so he naturally had not forgotten these two names.

The figures of the two short, ugly, unsteady people in the Swamp quickly emerged in his mind: "So it's them..."

An inexplicable anger rose in Yagao's heart.

This is naked fun!
How dare two low-level life forms of the third-level civilization tease the Bray civilization!
His crime should be punished!!
Naji's voice continued to be heard on the Tachyon communication channel: "Dear Lord Yagao, if it were twenty years ago, Turbine would not have embarrassed you over such a small matter."

"But... you should know Turbine's current situation better than me."

"There is a huge gap in raw materials, and the output of star sand has also begun to gradually decline..."

Yagao interrupted the other party directly: "Enough."

"Naji, just tell me, what do you need me to do?"

On the screen, Naji silently saluted: "Sir Yagao, according to the order of Chief Yaqi, you need to recover the lost Swamp People as soon as possible. After all... the raw material gap for [Turbine] is too large."

"You can start with the two masterminds."

"In addition..." Naji paused and continued, "Chief Yaqi believes that it is impossible that only Olaya and Baroka were involved in this matter. There should be the support of the Swamp Council behind it."

"Such behavior is a provocation to the Bray Civilization and the Bray Alliance. Commander Yaqi hopes that you can hold the Numayuan Civilization accountable."

Ya Gao nodded calmly and responded to the instructions from Ya Qi.

"Tell Yaqi that I will make the Swamp Civilization pay the price."

"But finding those lost Swamp People may not be an easy task."

"You just said that the two Swampmen may have already sent their people away from the Swamp Civilization and the Colonial Fleet."

Communication was interrupted.

The screen in front of him also went out quietly, reflecting Yagao's somewhat gloomy inverted triangle face.

"Has the fleet of the Numazu Civilization left?"

Yagao pondered for a moment, then turned to ask his fellow tribesman beside him.

The minelayer quickly entered several query commands on the terminal in front of him.

Soon, Yagao got the answer.

"No records of the Swamp Fleet's departure were found."

Ya Gao was a little surprised: "They didn't escape in advance?"

"No, in fact, since a month ago, the Swamp Fleet has been staying on the edge of the free trade market. They have not purchased or sold any resources."

The minelayer in charge of the inquiry hesitated: "It seems... this fleet is waiting for something?"

Yagao stood up from his chair with an indifferent expression, and the anger in his eyes disappeared in an instant.

"Notify the Self-Defense Fleet."

"Bring those damned Swamp People to me!"

……

The edge area of ​​​​the free trade market No. 943.

After abstaining from Star Sand for a long time, Olaya felt that his consciousness had become somewhat scattered.

But anyway, he succeeded - perhaps because the amount of star sand he took was not large, and after suffering the initial torment and torture, his desire for star sand had gradually decreased.

of course.

The sequelae have not completely disappeared.

"Barroka..." Olaya slumped in the cockpit seat, his complexion pale, and murmured softly: "When will our colonial ships be discovered..."

"Then we will..."

At the side, Baroka, whose complexion was equally bleak, suddenly interrupted Olaya and said, "Here I come."

"What, what's coming?" Olaya raised his head in a daze and cast a surprised look at Baroka, "Is it Mr. Chen Fan?"

"He's back so soon?"

In the confused eyes of Olaya, Baroka slowly shook his head and uttered a shocking word: "Mine-laying fleet."

"..."

Olaya was silent for a moment, and his originally distracted eyes became clear at a speed visible to the naked eye.

He sat up straight and glanced out the porthole.

At some point, a number of mine-laying warships with forward-swept wing structures arrived at the corner area where the Numazu fleet was located and surrounded the entire fleet.

"What are you doing..."

Although he already had a guess in his mind, Olaya still asked with a trembling voice.

"What else could it be?"

Baroka chuckled and stood up from the driver's seat: "Get ready, our business has been discovered."

"So fast?!" Olaya widened his eyes and exclaimed.

At the same time, a communication request popped up on the screen on the console.

"The Swamp Fleet."

The moment the communication was connected, a sharp and serious voice came: "Please immediately open all control permissions of your fleet and follow us to the labor exchange."

"Otherwise, this fleet has the right to regard the Swamp Fleet as an illegal invader."

As soon as the words fell, a bright beam of light flashed outside the porthole.

next second.

boom! !

Violent explosions and flames burst out in the Swamp Fleet. Several Swamp Starships exploded and turned into countless dust in the starry sky.

Looking at the dim light flashing from the guns of the mine-laying warships, Olaya swallowed again, and his originally pale complexion turned into bright blue.

He didn't dare to say anything more. He could only obey the other party's request, silently handed over all control authority, and leaned back in the driving seat behind him.

"This could be our last time together."

Olaya looked at the scene outside the porthole and sighed deeply: "Mr. Chen Fan should be in the Bray Civilization. I guess he can't help us."

Baroka shrugged and said nothing.

In fact, at the beginning of the plan, he was prepared to die calmly.

The scene outside the porthole began to change slowly.

Under the control of the mine-laying battleships, hundreds of Swamp Starships became prison vans, slowly passing through the steel floating islands in the free trade market and heading towards the labor exchange in the center.

……

after an hour.

Just as Baroka thought, the problem with the colonial ship had been discovered by the mine-laying civilization.

"Dear Lord Yagao, I..."

Baroka's hoarse voice echoed in the Labor Exchange.

The next second, a sharp voice came from the depths, interrupting Baroka's words.

Da da da……

Accompanied by a rhythmic sound of footsteps coming from the front, a familiar figure appeared in front of everyone.

Yagao walked in front of Baroka and looked down at the swamp salamander in front of him.

Her voice was even without any fluctuation: "I know what you want to say."

"You were the one who replaced those dummies in the colony ship, right?"

Baroka suddenly raised his head and looked at Yagao in front of him in disbelief.

The development of the situation completely exceeded his expectations.

"Your own people betrayed you." Yagao looked at Baroka jokingly, "It seems that what you did was not recognized by your own people."

Thoughts flashed through Baroka's mind quickly, and he quickly guessed the reason - this was the assist Chen Fan gave him!

In just a few seconds, his eyes quickly changed from surprise and confusion to anger and helplessness.

"I..." Baroka's face was bleak. He clenched his fists tightly, and a trace of grief and anger appeared on his face. "Sir Yagao, this is my plan alone."

"I am willing to pay the price of my life for this. I can refund all prepaid Alliance coins and even pay the full amount of liquidated damages..."

This was a plan that Baroka had thought of a long time ago.

Refund plus compensation for breach of contract, plus the life of the mastermind.

I think it will be enough to calm the anger of the Bray civilization.

And the Swamp Abyss civilization will also get a perfect opportunity to recuperate.

"Alliance Coin?"

Yagao shook his head: "This little bit of Alliance Coin is just a small matter."

Hearing this, Baroka's heart trembled and he had a bad premonition.

as predicted.

Under Baroka's horrified gaze, Yagao gave the order in a calm tone:

"As the first civilization to attempt to challenge the order of the Blay Alliance, the Swamp Civilization will have to pay a higher price for this."

"As for you..." Yagao changed the subject, "You don't have to pay any price."

"You just have to watch your civilization being destroyed by the gunfire of the mine-laying fleet."
