Gods: The Swarm

Even if they are intercepted by the anti-smuggling department, at most they will be accused of tax evasion, and there is room for defense whether it is smuggling or not.

I am afraid that the other party will not even dare to seize the transport ship, and will temporarily make more arrangements, and then pay the taxes and fines.

For the large and powerful Molson Consortium, how can this be a problem?

Moreover, in order to save transportation time, the transport ship must perform high-intensity long-distance jumps.

This will generate a huge amount of energy consumption, and the subsequent maintenance costs of the ship are probably not much lower than the value of the transported materials.

There is a faster and more cost-effective way to go through the star gate, but the transport fleet has to act secretly. Isn’t this a case of trying to cover up the truth?

How stupid the top executives of the consortium must be to plan such a route.

Han Fei would not underestimate their intelligence, so there must be something fishy here.

Just when Perrin was struggling with how to send this prince away without leaving any trace, Han Fei had already expressed his intention to leave.

After the Star Shuttle left the transport flagship, Han Fei immediately ordered the crew to continue to jump towards the chaotic galaxy.

The reason was to arrive at the galaxy before the transport ship arrived and see what secrets it hid.

The Star Shuttle's onboard optical computer had the highest permission for the transport flagship's control system, so there was no need to worry about losing its trace.

...

Momba Star.

The cold wind whistled through the streets.

Claire tightened the collar of his winter jacket, mumbling and cursing.

As a native of Momba, he couldn't accept that his beautiful homeland had fallen into this state.

He couldn't understand why the small border conflict had suddenly turned into a war.

As the conflict escalated, not only Momba, but also the border defense forces of the surrounding galaxies were involved, and the two dominant civilizations continued to send troops to the battlefield.

In the late stage of the war, the top leaders of both civilizations were still arguing with each other, and both claimed that they would dispatch their main corps to join the war.

When the news reached the front line, it immediately caused a large-scale panic.

The border defense forces participating in the war were already so excited that they were ready to fight to the end.

After hearing the news, the border defense forces, from the bottom soldiers to the top generals, were like being poured with ice water, and their minds immediately calmed down.

The main army is strong not only in combat power, but also in connections.

Even among the ordinary soldiers, there are many high-quality soldiers who have broken the divine domain.

Although their path to becoming gods has been cut off, they have at least opened up the divine domain, and their bodies and souls have been more or less infected by divine power. Their physical indicators are definitely not comparable to ordinary people.

Moreover, being qualified to obtain the divine seed shows that they have outstanding talents or strong backgrounds.

Not to mention that among the officers at all levels, there are also high-level demigods and guys who have been promoted to gods.

It is conceivable how strong the connections and backgrounds of these main army corps are.

If the main army really participates in this border war, the border defense forces will inevitably become a foil, or even exist like cannon fodder.

If they win, the glory and the army will be the main army.

If they lose, the border defense troops who survived by chance will definitely be the prime target of blame.

Anyone with a little bit of brains will not be willing to let themselves fall into such a miserable situation.

The senior generals of the defense forces will naturally try to find ways to get out of the predicament as soon as possible.

The military's combat morale has dropped sharply, not to mention the local ordinary people.

Many galaxies affected by the war have triggered a large-scale exodus after hearing the news.

Those with a little wealth are scrambling to buy interstellar tickets and flee their hometowns with their families.

Those who can't afford the tickets can only pray in despair and helplessness.

After all, once the main army joins the war, it means that this place will become the main battlefield, and the intensity of the war will be greatly increased.

Compared with the conventional weapons held by the border defense forces, the main army has too many powerful weapons in its hands.

If they really want to fight, especially when the war situation is unfavorable, these guys with deep backgrounds may even use super-limited weapons.

For the overall war situation, let alone orbital bombing, it is possible to destroy the planet.

As for civilian casualties?

Oh, the country bumpkins in the frontier galaxy can sacrifice for the country, isn't it their honor?

There is no need to care about the domestic public opinion.

They control most of the media organizations that are crazy enough to clean up the ground, rack their brains to make positive interpretations, and even sing praises. It is a routine operation.

Ordinary people are not completely unaware of such cold-blooded behavior of the main army.

The territory of the hegemonic civilization is too vast, and the overall population size is an astronomical figure.

The ultra-high level of technology has greatly reduced the demand for low-level labor.

Destroying a few barren galaxies and killing some marginal residents really has little impact.

From the perspective of the upper echelons of civilization, this is even a disguised way to reduce the size of the inferior population and reduce the meaningless consumption of limited resources.

The overall quality of citizens can also be improved in this process... a little bit.

In short, except for those innocent people in the situation, few people care about their lives.

Growing up in such an environment, even Claire herself used to look at war refugees with such an indifferent attitude.

Although the star system where Momba is located is located on the border of the empire, it is not part of the disputed border area between the two countries.

In the past countless years, it has been affected by wars.

Who would have thought that the border conflict would continue to escalate and expand, and he would be caught in the crossfire.

It was not until the disaster came that Claire felt the pain personally.

He was an orphan, barely grew up relying on social welfare, found a job with a meager salary, and was at the bottom of society. He had no savings to buy the interstellar ticket whose price was skyrocketing.

If he couldn't leave, he could only stay and leave it to fate.

Unfortunately, fortunately, when he was desperate and helpless waiting for the judgment of fate, things suddenly took a turn for the better.

Just when the conflict was getting more and more intense and about to get completely out of control, the True God Crown of the Lance Empire personally came forward to mediate, hoping that both sides could ease the situation.

I have to admit that the Eternal True God has a big face.

This border war, which lasted for two and a half years and affected nearly multiple star systems, and caused countless casualties among the military and civilians on both sides, was completely ended by a brief meeting between the two countries' true gods and a few words.

Claire knew how to be grateful, and had great respect and admiration for the true god Crown who came forward to eliminate the war.

Later, he learned from the news that the Crown's surname was...Molson.

Great surname, the benevolent Crown!

Claire was even more shocked to learn that the Molson family had a glorious family history that lasted for countless years, and regarded the true god Molson as an eternal belief.

The news also reported that the true god Crown had ceded a lot of family interests to the other true god in order to eliminate this war.

How compassionate and selfless is this?

Even though several years have passed, Claire's reverence has not diminished at all, and has even become more and more devout.

"Alas, what the Molson Consortium has done is really smearing the true God Crown!"

"If the Crown knows, all these termites who tarnished the glory of Molson will definitely be executed!"

Claire's voice was weak, and he didn't want to cause trouble for him, so he could only vent his indignation in a low voice.
