The Empire begins with the Fourth Scourge

2024, survivor

Admiral Chiara said: "Why do you think of the Kiliks? They are far from their former glory. The current Kiliks are just a group of barbaric, backward and killing bugs. And there are dozens of them There are constant conquests between different populations. To us outsiders, they are all Kiliks, but to them, different populations are different races, and they will be destroyed soon."

Tang Xiao nodded and said: "Yes, I understand. But just like what we did in Qisi Ling, we don't need so many groups, only a few... And don't forget, They are swarms of insects. The purpose of their conquest is to compete for food, and even treat each other as food. As long as there is enough food, they will form a sufficient number in a short time. "

Keith Maxwell said: "Ah, I know this kind of race. For a civilization like our Dawn Principality or the Chisland, a civil war will definitely devastate our muscles and bones. But for insectoid races, In other words, after fighting the civil war and fighting the weak against the strong, they will only become stronger.”

"So, we only need to support one or two of the groups and provide them with enough food. The tens of millions of dead bodies caused by the previous battles against Grisk's hegemony in places like the planet Kruste, It's the best food." The expression on Tang Xiao's face was sinister and ferocious.

Those star spirits were a little displeased, especially the high-level templar Rasdian. His anxiety and uneasiness were conveyed to Tang Xiao through telepathy with little concealment.

It's just that they have just expressed their full support for Tang Xiao and their willingness to eliminate Griske's hegemony, so it is not easy to get angry at this time.

"I hope you are not playing with fire and burning yourself, Tang Xiao." Rasdian said in a deep voice, "No matter what kind of insect swarm they are, it is their nature to be greedy. No, it is instinct. They can only ask for and plunder. , because for them, food is everything...With food, they can survive, reproduce, and evolve. This process has nothing to do with other races, and they don't need to be involved with other races."

Admiral Chiara also said: "The most terrifying thing about the Killik swarm is that each of them has a gland that secretes and releases a pheromone all the time. The longer the exposure time to this pheromone , will gradually be assimilated by them... Although the assimilated people will not have any appearance changes, their brains have been modified and will become part of the Hive Will of that group, and this process is completely Kilik. It happens unconsciously, even if they don’t want to hurt each other, but the other party will be assimilated after a long time of contact, and these assimilated people are called participants.”

Tang Xiao asked again: "Then what state are they in now?"

This question actually surprised Admiral Chiara, because the existence of Kilik people is also a relatively confidential issue in the unknown star field. It's not that it's deliberately concealed, but that ordinary people simply don't have access to this level of intelligence, and there's no need to.

And since Tang Xiao knew the Kiliks, Admiral Qiara immediately thought that he knew the current situation of this insect swarm very well. As a result, it seems like he has no idea what the Kilik people are like now?

Tang Xiao saw her thoughts and explained, "I know the history of the Kilik people very well, but I don't know what they are like now."

Admiral Chiara replied: "The Kilik swarm should be breeding around the Yoggoy galaxy as its core, but we cannot accurately find out which galaxies they have colonized. Because they are basically not picky about their food. Regardless of the location, we can easily adapt to environments that are very harsh to us. As of now, there are at least 20 different populations that we know of, and it is difficult to tell which ones are native Killik worms and which ones are. It’s the alien insect races that have been assimilated into them and become participants.”

She thought for a moment and then said: "I don't know the number...but there are at least tens of billions or even hundreds of billions. However, they have almost no ability to fight in space. They should migrate through a kind of nest capable of space navigation." Yes, and there are not many such nests, and they have little combat effectiveness. "

When Rasdian heard this, he immediately said: "This insect swarm race is very dangerous and has great hidden dangers. Moreover, if there are currently no battleships, they will not be of use. Do we still need to provide them with battleships? My opinion is , it is best not to have any contact with the Kilik swarm. It is even said that after the problem of Grisk hegemony is solved, the Kilik swarm will be listed as the next problem that must be dealt with! "

Tang Xiao glanced at him and asked, "You don't seem to be worried at all about Menggal-Mongal? Shouldn't this God of Decay be the second biggest threat?"

Rasdian said contemptuously: "Mongal-Mongal may be very troublesome, but they are definitely not dangerous. They are not a real threat."

"I hope so." Tang Xiao said, "Anyway, I will find an opportunity to get in touch with the Kilik swarm in person. The rest of you did have the threat of being infected and assimilated by them in the past. If we really can't reach an agreement, then I will find a way to solve them. This is one aspect..."

He looked at Chiara and asked, "Then what? Don't you have any plans for Grisk's hegemony?"

Admiral Chiara said: "No, actually, we still have a very big progress."

"Oh?" Tang Xiao became interested.

"It's not that there was nothing left on the Gixtus flagship you were on, the Fateweaver." Admiral Chiara said, "In fact, there was another survivor on that battleship. Well, to be precise, he is dead and turned into a zombie by you, but his body is still intact.”

"What are you talking about? There is actually a person who is well preserved?"

"That's right. Moreover, except for the dozens of Grisk guards and Gixtus, the other crew members on the Fateweaver should all be Nilcartons. However, the survivor is not Nirkaton," Admiral Chiara said.

Tang Xiao frowned and said: "Logically speaking, it should be impossible. At that time, I turned all the creatures on the entire battleship into undead souls, and the final order given to these undead souls was to rush to the bridge and kill everyone. But it happened The bridge is the core area where the Fateweaver self-destructed, so there should be no survivors.”

Admiral Chiara said: "That's the problem, because this survivor locked himself in the escape pod."
