When the Pioneer Empire rushed to the Galactic Civilization Management Bureau of Thousand Stars City to seek help from the person in charge, Quan Yi, the Alliance fleet's actions did not stop at all, and continued to fire plasma cannons and neutral particle cannons against the fortresses and fleets outside the Pioneer Star. Carry out a devastating blow.

Faced with the disparity in battleship performance and weapon power, the Pioneer Empire fleet was completely at a disadvantage.

He could only watch as the warships were destroyed one by one.

There was simply no way to stop the Alliance fleet's attack.

On the other hand, the Solar System Alliance fleet relies on the energy shield on the Star Destroyer for defense. So far, only one battleship has suffered some damage, and it still does not affect the battle.

In this battle situation, the Alliance fleet was completely crushed and approached the Pioneer Star with a long drive.

"All planetary defense fortresses have been destroyed, the opponent's fleet retreated to the Pioneer planet, and we did not lose a single battleship."

Star Destroyer command hall.

Lei Zhan reported the results to Xu Lei with great excitement, his joy was beyond words.

Once upon a time, the solar system was wantonly invaded by the Pioneer Empire, and humans did not even have the ability to fight back. There is no doubt that that period of history is something that people do not want to recall.

And now the Alliance fleet from humanity has reached the civilized planet of the Pioneer Empire in a short period of time without losing a single battleship. This achievement is definitely something to be proud of, and it is equivalent to a true offensive and defensive exchange between the two sides.

Gone are the days when the pioneer empire was domineering.

Xu Lei naturally watched the entire battle situation and knew that the situation was evolving in the direction he expected, so it seemed that he was listening to Lei Zhan's report, but in fact his eyes were focused on the special planet ahead.

Pioneer Star.

A living planet that nurtured pioneer civilizations.

There are more than ten billion pioneers living on this planet.

There are billions more living individuals than humans.

At this time, Xu Lei finally saw with his own eyes this planet that had only existed in the records of the Pioneer Fleet before. Xu Lei must observe it carefully.

Through the analysis of the Star Destroyer's own space radar, it was found that the Pioneer star, which is earthy in color, is dry all year round. The surface of the planet is covered by thick rock layers. In addition to the weather and temperature that are not suitable for carbon-based life to live in, the environment is even worse.

Have a higher temperature.

The only advantage compared to the Earth Star is probably that the Pioneer Star is larger in size.

After clarifying this information, Xu Lei somewhat understood why the pioneer civilization was so interested in the Earth Star.

Now it seems that compared with the environment of the Pioneer Star, it is not an exaggeration to say that the Earth Star is a paradise. After all, its environment is very suitable for carbon-based life forms to live.

However, observation is observation, and the battle that should continue cannot be stopped.

Because those just now are just appetizers at best.

So when Xu Lei withdrew his gaze, he immediately turned around and ordered Lei Zhan: "Get the whole ship ready and continue to launch air strikes against the Pioneer Star. Now is not the time to be merciful."

After receiving the order, Lei Zhan seemed a little shy this time.

Did not go directly to execute.

Of course, it wasn't that he couldn't bear to take action. After all, nothing was more exciting to him than attacking the Pioneer Empire.

The delay in taking action was due to worries.

Soon Xu Lei also noticed something unusual about Lei Zhan, and then asked aloud: "What's wrong, but you have questions about my order, just say what you want to say." He didn't put on any airs of his own.

Xu Lei also knew in his heart that not all of his instructions were correct. The main reason why he had the advantage now was because the battleship was powerful enough.

If his subordinates can come up with a better plan, he will naturally follow the suggestion.

When Lei Zhan saw that he was being questioned by Xu Lei, he did not pretend to cover up or prevaricate, and directly expressed his doubts openly.

"That's right, sir."

"According to the clues we have, the cities of the Pioneer Empire are all built five thousand meters underground. We are afraid that it will be difficult to effectively attack them. Shouldn't we think of another good way?"

Facts have proved that Lei Zhan's worries are quite reasonable.

Because the living environment of the Pioneer Planet is relatively harsh, in order to ensure the stable development of civilization, the ancient Pioneer Life chose to move the city underground to avoid various disasters and environmental impacts with cities deep underground, and this continues to this day.

Now it seems that this is indeed a great solution for them.

Just like right now.

The rock formations covering the surface of the planet are relatively hard and have excellent defensive effects against various attacks.

With such a deep thickness, once the damage is transmitted from the surface to the city, the impact will be minimal.

It would indeed be a waste to continue attacking the Pioneer under such circumstances.

If the cities and various important buildings of the Pioneer Empire were built on the surface of the planet, they could be easily destroyed by just sending out plasma cannons and neutral particles without spending much effort.

But now it doesn't work very well.

There is a high probability that several rounds of attacks will not bring any effect.

This time, Xu Lei's plan for the Pioneer Empire was to make a quick decision and first completely destroy the opponent's power system.

It’s really a waste of time on this issue. No one knows whether the war situation will develop in a new direction.

You must know that the Pioneer Empire is also an old second-level civilization. It must be somewhat connected to other civilizations in the galaxy, and may seek assistance from them.

Even if there is a Star Destroyer in the Alliance fleet, there is no need to be afraid, the battleships behind it will inevitably be affected. This is something Xu Lei never wants to see, so he must find a way.

"You have a point."

Xu Lei first confirmed Lei Zhan's worries, and then his brain was running quickly and he quickly thought of something, and immediately ordered: "Go and bring Misti over. Now it's his turn to show off."

"Yes, sir."

Although Lei Zhan didn't know why he wanted to bring Mosti here now, he didn't have any hesitation in following Xu Lei's instructions.

After nodding sharply in response, he quickly went to perform the task.

And since this was the second time he was mentioned, he was relatively familiar with the situation, and Misty was soon brought to the main ship command hall.

…

"How does it feel to return to your hometown?"

Xu Lei looked at Misty, and instead asked in a friendly tone, but this kind of question was tantamount to murder for Misty at this time.

It feels harsh.

But perhaps because he was willing to accept his fate, Misty's mood did not change much.

He paused for a few seconds before replying: "According to your words, this is called things changing. We should have expected that such a day would come."

Speaking of which, although Misti did not witness the destruction of the planetary defense fortresses in the Pioneer Galaxy in the command hall, he could basically imagine what it would be like based on the small amount of information obtained.

But he also understood that he was unable to solve this karma.

For him, the best choice is to follow Xu Lei's instructions and be supported as the new pioneer king. At least this can ensure that the pioneer civilization can continue to exist instead of being directly wiped out from the galaxy.

Xu Lei was very pleased to see that Misty's performance had improved a lot.

Then he changed the topic to business.

"I have nothing else to do with you coming here this time. I want to mark the specific locations of major core cities on the Pioneer Star coordinates. Can you do that?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Misty's expression suddenly changed.

It is no longer as peaceful as before.

Because he knows what it means.

Yes.

Xu Lei's idea is simple.

Since the cities of the Pioneer Empire were built deep underground, it was difficult to cover them with fire, so they had to use precision strikes and directly use plasma cannons to carry out high-altitude strikes on the city locations.

I believe that with the power of the plasma cannon, even if it cannot directly affect the city, it can still change its underground structure.

Completely burying the city deep underground.

Forcing the core class of the Pioneer Empire to take the initiative to come to the ground.

As long as the power center of the Pioneer Empire is solved, the Alliance can push out Misti, so that no matter how to operate the Pioneer Star in the future, it will become very easy and simple.

Misty knew his situation very well at this time, and even knew what he was going to do.

But he didn't have the right to choose.

So after a slight pause for a few seconds, he walked towards the console without saying a word and marked several positions in the Pioneer Star on the main screen.

After getting the coordinates, Xu Lei naturally stopped delaying and immediately ordered: "Prepare the plasma cannon and start precision strikes!"

And he is not worried that the data given by Misty is wrong, because there is no need.

"Yes, sir."

As Xu Lei issued the order, many crew members sitting in front of the operating console immediately started operating, controlling the Star Destroyer to lock the coordinates, activate the plasma cannon, and start attacking.

Almost instantly, two plasma balls with a temperature of up to one million degrees were shot out from the Star Destroyer's plasma cannon, accurately hitting two of the coordinates given by Misty, causing huge movement on the Pioneer star.

Under the scorching heat, the hard rock formations on the surface of the planet were suddenly as vulnerable as paper, causing the power of the attack to continuously extend downwards. The entire surrounding ground was shaking violently, as if the earth was about to sink in.

Faced with such a fierce attack, the pioneer city deep underground was not immune.

In addition to the numerous casualties caused by the collapse of a large number of buildings, the passage to the ground was directly cut off.

Completely buried deep underground.

And this includes Antedes, the largest city on the Pioneer Star.

Originally, King Gadra summoned the bishop-level pioneers to the palace to discuss countermeasures, and finally proposed to seek assistance from the Setan Galaxy Civilization Management Branch. Unexpectedly, the palace shook violently before the person in charge could reach it.

The sudden change can be said to have frightened everyone.

You must know that although their pioneers are tall, they are not out of the category of carbon-based life, but their lifespans are relatively long.

If the tall palace really collapsed, it would be difficult for them to survive.

"What happened? Where did such a big movement come from?" Gadra almost fell down from the throne. After finally regaining his balance, he asked sternly. It could be seen that he was in a very bad mood at this time.

After all, the dignified pioneer second-level civilization was inexplicably forced to ask for help from the administration. It would be strange if it could be happy.

Unfortunately, before he could finish his words, the report coming from outside the palace instantly changed his expression: "Reporting to King Gadra, the top of Antedes was attacked by an enemy's plasma cannon, which caused changes in the underground structure. The city could collapse at any time now.”

"What did you say?"

"How can this be?!"

Upon learning such a result, Gadra stood up subconsciously.

His eyes were full of disbelief.

The reason why he can sit here with peace of mind and wait for the arrival of the head of the Setan Planet Civilization Management Branch is because the cities of the Pioneer Empire are built deep underground, and outsiders do not know their specific locations, so even if they choose to attack freely, they will not impact on the city.

But he never expected that the enemy would accurately hit Antedes as soon as they arrived at the Pioneer Planet.

It's really quite puzzling.

But just when he was about to ask further about the specific situation, he heard the ordinary pioneer outside the palace reply: "In addition, according to our latest confirmation, in addition to Antedes, several other cities have suffered the same attack, and some have been completely attacked. Lost touch.”

"This is impossible. How could the enemy know exactly where our city is!?"

If Gadra was just confused and surprised just now, now he is occupied by fear and unwilling to admit the reality in front of him.

Because if this is the case, then Antedes is very dangerous at this moment and is very likely to follow in the footsteps of other cities. Even if the structure of the largest city in the Pioneer Empire is relatively stronger, it can only withstand one more plasma cannon. attack.

All pioneers will then be completely buried.

Mainly judging from the current situation, the enemy obviously knows the specific location of each city in the Pioneer Empire, so he will definitely pay special attention to Antedes.

at the same time.

Perhaps because the atmosphere of fear spread rapidly, the pioneers present were also a little unable to sit still.

"The enemy is obviously well prepared. They have a very clear grasp of our Pioneer Empire. If we continue to wait, we will only be buried here with Antedes."

"We can no longer sit back and wait."

"Now we should return to the ground as soon as possible and try to communicate with the other party."

"The Civilization Management Bureau doesn't know when they will arrive. We also need to buy time."

"Protecting the Star Gate is the most important thing at the moment. Continuing to stay underground will not solve any problems. Please make a decision as soon as possible."

At this time, Gadra listened to the suggestions of the pioneer bishops around him. Although his face was cold and very angry, he had to recognize the reality. After all, saving his life and the inheritance of the pioneer civilization were the most important things now.

With his mind running rapidly, he made a decision not long after and said: "Get ready to go to the ground, and continue to try to contact the other party. I want to talk to him personally."

"As commanded."

Gadra was well aware of the urgency of the current situation. After issuing this order, he immediately opened all passages to the surface to allow the pioneers living in the underground city to escape on their own. As for himself, he led a group of bishop pioneers to the surface planet. where the door is.

As for his willingness to lower his status and start a dialogue with the Alliance fleet, it was with the intention of delaying time.

As long as the person in charge of the Civilization Management Branch arrives, this crisis will definitely be resolved, and maybe they can even claim compensation.

Because he can be sure that even if the fleet attacking their Pioneer Empire this time has nothing to do with Setan, letting the two Star Destroyers wander outside is still a big responsibility, and they will still be punished according to the rules of the Civilization Administration.

That's right.

In Gadra's view, this strange fleet must have obtained the Star Destroyer of Setan by some unknown means, so it set its sights on their pioneer civilization.

Although the losses were heavy this time, as long as they received compensation from the Civilization Administration or established relations with Setan.

That definitely has more advantages than disadvantages.

Green Star is the best proof.

If Green Star had not had the support of Setan Star, how could it have expanded its warship business to the entire Orion Spiral Arm.

…

Let’s talk about the Alliance fleet.

Several rounds of plasma cannons were fired, and looking down from a high altitude, many circular pits appeared in the line of sight.

And bottomless.

It was like performing a major surgical operation on the Pioneer.

And just when the Star Destroyer recharged its plasma cannon, Lei Zhan's surprised voice suddenly sounded in the command hall: "Sir, look, those pioneers finally couldn't hold on and came out of the ground."

Looking along the sound, Xu Lei found that a familiar pioneer figure gradually appeared next to a deep circular pit.

Just judging from the crown and body shape, they should all belong to ordinary pioneers.

But this at least shows that the coordinates given by Misti are correct.

Thinking of this, Xu Lei couldn't help but turn his eyes to Misti next to him, and said meaningfully: "It seems that you already know what you should do."

But before Misti could respond, the crew suddenly reported: "Sir, we have received a request for dialogue from the Pioneer, who claims to be the current King of the Pioneer Empire, Gardra."

"Do you agree?"

When the name rang out in the command hall, Xu Lei keenly caught the change in Misty's eyes, and immediately understood that this Gadra did have a big background.

The previous rounds of precise strikes have completely destroyed the resistance of the Pioneer Empire, and there are countless Pioneers buried deep underground. At this time, there is nothing wrong with having a few words with the king of the Pioneer Empire. .

What's more, Xu Lei just wants to let the other party know that the solar system is not something to be trifled with.

Thinking of this, he asked again: "Where is the other party now?"

"Sir, it's at the star gate we specially marked." The crew member in front of the console replied quickly after hearing the sound.

Stargates are important means of transportation in the galaxy.

Part of the reason for Xu Lei's trip was to use the star gate on the Pioneer star, so after the fleet arrived above the Pioneer star, he deliberately protected the area and did not conduct any attacks on it.

Now that the other party chooses to negotiate here, it is considered smart.

"Promise them."

After casually responding to the crew member, Xu Lei saw a playful smile on his face, and then specifically called Lei Zhan: "Let's go, let's go meet the king of the pioneer empire."

"I've been waiting for this day for a long time." Lei Zhan agreed.

But just when Xu Lei led Lei Zhan to leave the command hall and head to the hatch, he stopped again after taking a few steps.

Then he turned around again and said to Misty with a smile: "Don't you want to meet your relatives and compatriots at this time? They should also be surprised."

Misty understood the meaning of Xu Lei's words. Although he was very reluctant to face such a scene, as he said, what's the use of avoiding it at this time, so he hesitated for a while and finally insisted on it. The scalp followed.

——

Not long after.

In the huge square where the Star Gate is located, Gadra and a group of bishop pioneers raised their sights and stared at the strange fleet that came into the air.

A big question mark appeared in everyone's mind.

The reason why it is strange is that in addition to the Star Destroyers from Setan, this fleet also includes battleships produced by Green Star Ring Heavy Industry. The most outrageous thing is that when the battleship hatch is opened, a large number of small battleships fly out and are neatly arranged. Around the fleet, they found that there were many assault ships produced by them.

To put it bluntly, the entire fleet is simply a hodgepodge.

This made them more curious about the origin of the fleet, and they really couldn't figure out when the Pioneer Empire provoked such an enemy.

Until a suspended platform flew out from the Star Destroyer. After seeing the figure standing on it, all the pioneers were dumbfounded and completely stunned.

It’s really hard to imagine why the person who came out was Misty, a member of the royal family who had disappeared for a long time.

Mainly, as a pioneer, Misti has the advantage of size, so it's impossible not to be noticed.

Fortunately, he had been released from the shackles and electronic shackles at this time, otherwise there is no telling what the situation would have been like.

But even this has aroused discussion among many pioneer bishops.

"Why is Prince Misty in the enemy's Star Destroyer? Wasn't he captured by a weak civilization for a long time?"

"He is an absolute disgrace to my forerunner empire."

"I remember that Prince Fogli has gone to the rescue. Did something new happen in the meantime?"

"This time the enemy is coming fiercely, and they know our situation very well. Now that Prince Mosti appears on the enemy's warship, could it be said..."

Gadra listened to these discussions in his heart, and his face was a bit gloomier than before. Now he finally knew why the enemy was able to carry out precise attacks on the underground city of Pioneer. It turned out that a Pioneer leaked information about the empire.

And this traitor is still his heir.

In order to give an explanation to the other Pioneers and the empire's losses this time, before the platform could stop, he asked sternly: "Mesti, you actually betrayed the Pioneer Empire. I, Gadra, don't have a son like you."

Xu Lei finally parked the platform he got from Starlink Heavy Industries in the air dozens of meters away from Gardra and the others. After hearing this, he couldn't help but smile and said to Misty beside him: "It seems that they You’re not very welcome.”

As soon as he finished speaking, his expression suddenly changed, and his sharp eyes were directed at Gadra, who was standing in the middle. He responded with an indifferent attitude: "Gadra, the current king of the Pioneer Empire, right? Let me correct you first. There is a sentence you are wrong."

"Mesti did not betray the Pioneer Empire, but was infected by our civilization and wanted to establish a new Pioneer civilization."
