  Chapter 408 How can you catch a tiger if you don't enter the tiger's den

   "My lord judge! You finally replied!"

  Received Duanmuhuai's communication, d'Artagnan suddenly showed a look of survivors, and Duanmuhuai also wanted to laugh.

   "Okay, don't pretend to be in front of me, it's just a colony, and you won't die if you lose it."

"Ha ha ha ha……"

  Hearing Duanmuhuai's words pointing out his disguise, Dardanelle also smiled embarrassedly.

   "Doesn't this show your importance and my admiration for you..."

   "Don't talk nonsense, get to the point."

"yes………"

   Dardanelle also immediately restrained the smile on his face and became serious.

   "It's actually like this... There are some things I didn't explain to you before... In fact, in one of the colonies... we found the wreckage of a battleship that seemed to come from an alien civilization."

   "Haven't you seen those alien creatures?"

  Hearing Dardanelle's report, Duanmuhuai asked curiously, while Dardanelle smiled wryly.

"What do you say, Lord Judge, I am just a businessman wandering in this barren star area. If you want to talk about human civilization or alien creatures, I have seen them to some extent, but alien civilizations... I really don't know. Haven't had any dealings with them."

   "Okay, let's continue."

"Yes, my idea at the time was to send some people there to see if I could find any good things. So I first gave orders to my confidants there. He also took some subordinates from the colony to go secretly. That warship, and then found some clay pots and other things from it... He said he didn't know what it was, and said he would take it back for analysis. I didn't think much about it at the time, but after that, the colony was no longer I didn't send any messages to me anymore, and I felt uneasy, so I took the initiative to contact that confidant, but he didn't answer my call either."

   "Hmm... I probably found something I shouldn't be looking for."

   Duanmu Huai was also quite calm about this. There are too many similar things.

   "Yes, but at that time I also wanted to know the situation in the colony, so I sent another team there, and after they got there... they sent me this."

   While speaking, Dardanelle opened the screen, and then Duanmuhuai saw a dilapidated steel corridor. There are holes everywhere, and there are even traces of guns and cannons. It can be seen that a war has been experienced.

"Then what?"

"there is none left."

   Dardanelle shook his head.

   "That's all, and then this team lost contact with me."

   "So you sent a second team?"

"Yes……"

   Dardanelle's heart is really bitter at the moment, although it is true that losing a colony, as Duanmuhuai said, is not a big deal for a wanderer like him. But the problem is that every penny he invested in it is his own!

  伱 Wanting capitalists to lose money is more distressing than watching others make money.

   "This time I asked them to keep in touch with me all the way, but... this time their spaceship was destroyed before landing!"

"Um?"

  Hearing this, Duanmu Huai's face suddenly became serious.

   "You mean the spaceship hasn't landed yet?"

   "Yes, Lord Judge, this is why I came to you..."

   Speaking of this, Dardanelle was really scared.

  To be honest, if it’s just missing on the planet, at most it’s just a problem with the planet itself, if it’s really not working, just throw it away as a loss of money. But this time his warship was destroyed before entering the atmosphere, so it must not be the work of the local indigenous creatures!

  If the other party is a cosmic civilization, then Dardanelle will be blinded.

  He raised his hands and surrendered when he encountered space pirates in fright. If he really fights with any regular space fleet, there is only one dead end.

  So Dardanelle can only turn to the Tribunal for help.

"Um………"

  Hearing Dardanelle's report, Duanmu Huai frowned and thought for a moment.

   "Do you have a record of that time?"

   "Yes, I have recorded images from that time."

   While speaking, Dardanelle opened it. Then Duanmu Huai watched the video in front of him. On the screen, a well-dressed man was solemnly reporting.

   "Report, we are about to reach the target planet, everything is normal at present, and have not been discovered yet..."

However, the man's report was not over yet. Suddenly, a loud noise interrupted his report, and then Duanmuhuai saw the battleship on the screen shaking violently, and the man fell directly to the ground, he hurriedly got up and shouted loudly.

"What happened!"

   "Report, we are under attack!"

   "Assault? Who is attacking us?"

   "I don't know, they... oh my god..."

  Accompanied by another explosion, the image stopped here the next moment.

"Um………"

   Staring at the image in front of him, Duanmu Huai nodded.

  From the current point of view, the opponent seems to have appeared suddenly and launched a surprise attack, so that the people in Dardanelle were wiped out without even reacting. Of course, this is also related to the lack of interstellar combat experience of his subordinates. Generally speaking, a transport ship like this would be escorted by a large group of warships, but according to Dardanelle, he only sent one transport ship there—from the current point of view, it was obviously regarded as a living target by the other party.

   But what kind of civilization will it be?

  The ones who come and go without a trace...Could it be those **** black-skinned Eldar bastards!

  Although this is unlikely, it is not impossible.

   After all, when talking about old coins in the universe, the first thing that comes to mind is these bastards, right?

   "I see, I'll check the situation."

  Thinking of this, Duanmu Huai also made a decision.

   "By the way, send me the coordinates of that planet. What's its name?"

   "LV426."

  After this, Duanmuhuai took a short rest for a day, and then took a few teams of night guards on the road together, and sailed towards the planet on a battleship.

  Duanmuhuai didn't bring other people this time, not because they didn't want to come, but because Duanmuhuai wanted to be cautious. After all, the Dark Eldar can be regarded as one of the most notorious races in the galaxy. Basically, if you see the Dark Eldar, whether it is one or a group, killing them will definitely eliminate harm for the universe, and no one will be wronged. These **** not only run fast, but are also good at stealth and surprise attacks, so this time Duanmuhuai didn't lead an army, but only brought a squadron of Night Guards. Even the battleship he chose was a Cobra-class guided missile destroyer known for its speed. And put the fiercely fired Lunar-class cruisers and other warships behind.

  After all, the hit-and-run tactic of those black-skinned **** is indeed a headache.

  Ordinary warships can't catch up with them.

  With the help of the Webway, it is not difficult to go to planet LV426. Duanmuhuai didn't even finish a cup of coffee, and that planet had already appeared in front of him.

  Being on the safe side, Duanmu Huai had sent several scout ships to patrol the surrounding area, but did not find any signs of warships. Of course, Duanmuhuai will not be blindly optimistic because of this, Dardanelle doesn't understand how insidious those black-skinned **** are, but he still understands. So Duanmu Huai ordered the battleship to hide and patrol around at any time. At the same time, he also scanned the planet.

   Judging from the results of the scan, most of this planet is indeed barren and lifeless. But there's only one location with significant signs of life -- and it's mostly underground.

   Well, this time it's time to drill again.

   "Well... this area seems to be at the location of the colony's facilities that Dardanelle mentioned..."

   Duanmuhuai compared the map and frowned.

   Could it be that the person sent here before did not die?

   Anyway, you will know when you go.

  Thinking of this, Duanmu Huai gave the order.

   "Get ready to go, let's go see this place... what the **** is going on."

   Soon, three night crow black star gunboats roared out of the battleship and flew towards the planet in front of them.

  The entire planet is surrounded by thick clouds, in which lightning and thunder can be seen from time to time, and the fierce airflow whizzes towards the face, making the Night Crow Black Star heave up and down like a small boat in the rough sea waves. I remember that Dardanelle said that he built an atmospheric modification device on this planet, and now it seems that this is obviously a part of the modification.

   Passing through the clouds, the pouring rain came head-on, hitting the window with a crackling sound. And Duanmuhuai skillfully turned on the wiper—well, it seems that no matter what era it is, this is an epoch-making invention.

   It won't be obsolete in another 1000 years.

   Soon, Duanmuhuai found the colonial area below. On the ground, there was a huge, volcanic-like steel building, from which white smoke spewed out and poured into the sky. On the side, there are also rows of steel structures that look similar to those on Pandora. It's just that the outer walls of these houses have been closed by iron gates at this moment. If there are no lights around, I am afraid that Duanmu Huai will not think that there are people here.

  But... there are lights... In other words, the energy supply here has not been cut off? This is unexpected. Logically speaking, since there is energy, there shouldn't be things that can't be contacted. Or is there any hidden secret here?

  Duanmu Huai drove the Night Crow Black Star around the entire colony, and did not see any traces of fierce battles, and the entire building was intact.

   At least it seems so on the surface.

  And the bird divination instrument shows those life signs, just under the ground under these buildings.

   It seems that if you don't enter the tiger's den, how can you catch the tiger's cubs.
