EVE: Starting with a Space Station

Half an hour before the auction started, Shi Man and his party, led by Aura, arrived at the auction hall.

Because of the large amount of money from a main fleet and the rising reputation and powerful mercenary upstart Mod, the private room allocated to New Eden was extra spacious.

Of course, the guests of the Omega Union auction, who were locals, all had private rooms. The auction hall was a building similar to the Colosseum in Rome, with the auctioneer on the high platform in the middle and the balcony rooms surrounded by windows, which looked very comfortable.

Shi Man and Mod sat on the sofa and smoked a cigarette, waiting for the auction to start.

Aura also told Shi Man the information he had just obtained in the Omega meeting room.

Shi Man blew out a smoke ring, thinking: "Ola, it means that these angels are not protected by the angel civilization. If you take them, you will not be in conflict with the angels. If you return them, the angels will not accept you either?"

Ola nodded

"Yes, these angels have been judged as angel heretics. The angel civilization will not accept them, and they will be judged by the Inquisition if they return to the angel civilization privately."

Shi Man was a little puzzled. Since these angels are not protected by the angel civilization, why is the situation so tense now?

Both major camps dispatched fleets to the front line. Ola even found small troops from the two major camps to collect intelligence at the border of Alpha and the Black Flag Galaxy. However, it is not the time to start a war yet, so the fleets at the border were not expelled or attacked.

Of course, they expressed regret for the disappearance of the fleet that entered the heart of the Alpha star field for reconnaissance, and said they knew nothing.

"Commander, based on the existing intelligence analysis, I have analyzed the purpose of both parties, and I am 95% sure." Ola said as he waved his hand. A strange signal fluctuation appeared, shielding all the electronic equipment in the box. Then Mod took out a palm-sized box from his coat and placed it on the coffee table.

I saw a translucent energy shield filling the entire room, shielding biological signals such as sound waves and heat energy.

After watching Mod check the shield and nod, Aura continued, "Based on the current situation, the demon fleet has captured two groups of angels. One group is the killing angels that are about to be auctioned, and the other group is the fighting angels of the Angel Fifth Fleet that are still in our space station.

Among the angels belonging to the Angel Fifth Fleet, except for the 10 we have now, the rest have been rescued or died together with the demon escort team during the rescue."

"Wait a minute." Shi Man interrupted Aura, "Then why didn't they rescue the angels we have now, but let us rob them instead?"

Hearing this, Aura smiled and looked at Mod. Mod also scratched his head and laughed awkwardly, then said: "According to the space ripples collected by the military fortress of the Black Flag Galaxy that day, there was a black shadow team that had already ambushed tens of thousands of kilometers away on the acceleration track. Mod also detected the information and took defensive measures at that time, but the fleet left after waiting for two days without success. Now I think it should be the angel's rescue fleet.

But..."

"But I didn't expect that the demon fleet was hijacked by us first, causing them to return empty-handed."

Shi Man took over, looking at the burly guy next to him, he rolled his eyes, and took out a cigar from Mod's coat as a punishment, and then motioned Aura to continue.

Mod looked at the two cigars left in the box, sniffed, and then took them out one by one in front of the two people and licked them with his tongue, and then put them back with satisfaction.

"Huh." Shi Man felt a chill. Was it that serious?

Ola ignored Moder, the fool, and continued to report: "At present, it is certain that the first plan of the demons is to auction the captured angels of the third fleet as we thought, and then provoke the angel fleet and promote the war.

But all the captured angels transported to the Omega star field have been rescued or died in battle. This plan has been declared a failure."

Ola had analyzed this before Shi Man came, so he was more curious about the second one.

"What about the second one?"

"The second one is to use these killing angels as bait to attract the fleet of killing angels to come and destroy them in one fell swoop. After all, these killing angels may not be a big deal for their main fleet, but they are too threatening to the weak civilizations under them.

Especially these killing angels have a Sky Blade Titan currently in service in the angel fleet. If they can be captured, they can find the weakness of the Sky Blade Titan through reverse research, and even absorb its advanced technology to gain weight for the upcoming war.

For these abandoned angels, there is nothing more insulting than auctioning their teammates like slaves. You know, although these killing angels are no longer recognized by the angels, they still inherit the character of the angels protecting their children, and even stick together more during this period of being hunted.

The civilizations and life planets destroyed by these killing angels were all because they intercepted them, causing them to suffer serious casualties, which led to their genocide and planet annihilation. "

Shi Man was thoughtful. With this explanation, the reason why the angels dispatched the fleet was clear.

They were not preparing for these killing angels, but to prevent the demon civilization from capturing the Sky Blade Titan. They did not care about the life and death of these killing angels.

Since these killing angels were not protected by the angel civilization, and were not even recognized by the angel civilization, his original plan to rescue these angels and return them to the angel civilization to brush up his reputation was also ruined.

Ora's expression moved, indicating Mod to accept the shielding device, and said softly: "Commander, the auction has begun."

Shi Man nodded, and the three of them walked to the balcony of the box, looking down at the auction table in the center.

This time, the auctioneer was Matt, a versatile man in the business world, who personally hosted it.

"Good evening, everyone, welcome to this Omega annual auction. Let's not talk nonsense, the auction will start directly, and I hope everyone will gain something. "

Without any tedious nonsense, Matt went straight to the point and started the auction, which made everyone present feel good and immediately heated up the place.

"Next, we will auction the first item, 12 million Dotru slaves."

After that, on the platform under the auction table, 300 young Dotru slaves with sensor collars were neatly lined up in several circles to facilitate the observation of guests.

These slaves are carefully selected samples and are also the most valuable slaves among them, that is, battleship pilots.

"A total of 12 million Dotru slaves, including 372 battleship pilots, with a starting price of 15 billion star coins. "

A holographic projection was projected, showing people crowded in several spaceships, from children to the elderly, and a lot of corpses could be seen in the holographic projection.

Looking at the pilots of the Dotru warships who were wearing sensor collars like livestock and being watched by everyone, and the Dotru people with dull and numb eyes in the projection, Shi Man felt a chill on his back. It was the first time he saw the dark law of the star sea so nakedly.

"Commander, please remember one sentence." Aura looked at the scene in front of him and spoke at the right time. There was no smile on his face, and his tone was no longer gentle as before, but as cold as steel: "The winner has the right to survive, and failure is slavery!"
