This is not mechanical ascension.

"This..." Benny looked confused as he walked through the Torch Organization members, and finally found Connet standing on the deck, wondering: "What's going on with you? Why are you all packing up your luggage?"

"They are leaving." Connet said calmly.

"Leave?" Benny was stunned and asked in a low voice: "Qinglong, are you willing to let them leave?"

"Qinglong and I have reached an agreement."

"Agreement?" Benny suddenly had a bad premonition, his heart suddenly jumped, and he asked cautiously: "What agreement?"

Connit turned his head and stared at him calmly: "I gave the coordinates to Qinglong and asked him to let the others leave, and all the grudges were written off."

"What!?" Benny screamed, his face became very exciting, and he pointed at Connit tremblingly and couldn't speak, but he had to grit his teeth and lower his voice: "What should I do if you do this?"

"What do you need to do? What does it have to do with me?" Connit shook his head, "We are no longer allies."

Benny was furious, and he was so angry that he even wanted to tear Connit apart alive.

But considering the difference in strength between the two, he had to curb it, trembling all over, and was angry.

Connit did this and completely left him aside.

Now he is left alone to "deal" with Qinglong. Just thinking about it, he feels suffocated.

"You let me fight Qinglong alone!?"

"You can also choose to do the same as me." Connet was very calm, "I found that Qinglong is actually very easy to talk to."

"Huh?" Benny laughed in anger: "You are speaking for him again now? Isn't it time for you to grit your teeth and kill him?"

"Are you worthy of Fernand? Are you worthy of Corvis?"

"There are no eternal enemies." Connet smiled lightly, "Only if the Torch Organization continues to exist can it be possible to avenge Fernand. He will be happy to see this scene. As for Corvis, he is me and I am him."

"You...you..." Benny certainly did not stand up for those two people, but just to stimulate Connet, but he saw that the other party had completed logical self-consistency and self-comfort.

He was so angry that he couldn't say a word, and could only squeeze out two words from his throat: "Coward!"

Connet laughed it off, and had figured out everything a long time ago.

He can do this, but Benny can't. Their goals are completely inconsistent.

Benny can only leave with a curse.

Theo and his companions were also a little surprised to see this scene. After asking clearly, Ulrich praised: "Very decisive, worthy of being the leader of the Torch Organization."

"Qinglong didn't choose to kill him." Sandro muttered.

Ulrich shook his head: "If Qinglong chose to kill him, we wouldn't be alive until now."

Sandro looked embarrassed and didn't speak.

After waiting for most of the day, the non-essential personnel of the Torch Organization packed up and left on other frigates.

The Torch Organization's fleet has limited combat power, and it is useless to follow.

The Coyle was alone, moving towards the predetermined coordinates. The main ship without the frigate was equivalent to a large target.

But Li Ming didn't think of relying on this main ship to fight, just as a navigation tool.

They have a goal, but others don't.

I don't know how many people are secretly watching the joint fleet. Their sudden disappearance caused a great shock.

In the area of ​​the black hole network, the discussion was already in full swing. More than a dozen large armed forces were all at a loss, and all kinds of speculations were flying around.

Within two days, there were rumors that Asmara had opened the core ruins and taken away everything inside.

In particular, the Judge Fleet of the Judge Civilization was almost going crazy. They had been ready for so long,

and were left behind by the joint fleet at the beginning. If they really couldn't find it, wouldn't it be a joke.

"If 100 million is not enough, then 500 million. If 500 million is not enough, then 1 billion!"

"I don't believe that she can really disappear without a trace under everyone's noses!"

In the desolate starry sky, the pale golden fleet was arranged neatly. In the command room of the Judge Fleet, there was a man with gray hair and only a golden vertical pupil on his face. The standard combat uniform he wore was covered with emblems.

The roar of Admiral Antonio, the commander-in-chief of the Judge, resounded throughout the command room.

Three days later, the Coyle had officially broken through the outer periphery of the Red River Star Stream and entered the core area.

The outer area is similar to the area where the Land of Stars is located, and the core area has been filled with various violent void turbulences in the past, and it is impossible to jump and sail normally.

If you don't jump and sail, it will be slower than a snail crawling on a cosmic scale.

But during the tide, it is much more normal, and you can enter the jump mode, just be careful of the gravitational tide, and the various wreckage and ruins that come in from time to time.

"It looks no different from the outside world..." Li Ming stood on the deck, and the main ship was making temporary adjustments.

The stars are shining, and what is worth paying attention to may be the many meteor lights. Those are not actually meteors, but condensations of various wreckage and ruins.

From the outside, the red river star stream looks like a streamer, and it becomes a thin red trace when it approaches the core area.

"Has anyone approached it?" Li Ming looked at the red trace that was almost like a crack.

It looks like a crack at this position, and it may be unusually thick when you get close.

"No, according to records, many people have tried, but none of them came back." An Ye beside him shook his head, his eyes narrowed slightly.

Li Ming nodded suddenly, and the technical adjustment of the main ship was soon completed. It quickly approached the target position. The deeper it went, the worse the cosmic environment became.

The strange gravity and material jets caused deadly star streams everywhere in the vicinity. If you don't pay attention, it may cause the ship to be destroyed and people to die.

Five days later, the main ship suddenly withdrew from the jump channel, and everyone gathered in the command room.

"There are still two days to go, and we will reach the set coordinates. For the sake of caution, we'd better not get too close." Ulrich acted as a think tank, "Send a few reconnaissance ships first, and use probes to take a look."

"Okay." Li Ming nodded. Their main ship naturally couldn't compete with the joint fleet, so it was better to be careful.

The main ship was dormant in a "star stream light belt", which was an irregular streamer that appeared nearby because of the tide of the Red River Star Stream.

Not only can this thing not detect any energy reaction itself, but anything that enters it will disappear without a trace.

Several miniature reconnaissance ships flew out of the ship's hangar and disappeared quickly.

After waiting for another two days, a large-scale joint fleet appeared on the big screen in the command room, forming a square array around the strange "Ring Star Crown Guard".

This is a fleet scene simulated by reconnaissance ships and probes using optical eyepieces and various data intelligence. Some places are very blurry, and they dare not conduct conventional detection at all.

"Joint fleet..." Li Ming's eyes flickered. This is a huge fleet that brings together most of the elite fleets of the civilizations of the Silver Star Cluster.

Hundreds of main ships of various shapes have been lined up and on standby, and large-scale escort formations are displayed around, obviously on alert.

Even across the screen, you can feel a breath-stopping sense of oppression.

Which is stronger, individual power or cluster combat capability?

This is one of the topics that the interstellar society has been discussing for countless years, but as an A-level life form, I am afraid it is not even qualified to be included in the most core discussion.

Against ordinary A-level life forms, a fleet with a full complement of main ships can basically defeat it as long as the commander does not have a brain.

But what Li Ming is thinking about now is those huge main ship energy cannons, which probably add up to hundreds of them.

So big, so many, I want it so much.

"The center part." Benny suddenly said, asking the staff to continuously zoom in on the central area of ​​the joint fleet.

Because it was purely observed using an optical eyepiece, it was extremely blurry when it was magnified to the extreme, but the special scene that was constantly flashing could still be seen clearly.

It looked like a bright blue diamond.

"The core ruins use space interlayers and information state closure technology. If you want to enter it, you must first let it appear in the main universe." Benny explained, "Looking at this situation, it may take some time."

"Is it going to become a positional battle?" Li Ming couldn't help but mutter.

In this way, anyone who wants to enter the core ruins must cross the defense line of Asmara.

"We, won't force our way in, right?" Sandro said cautiously.

Li Ming's eyes were inexplicable, and he suddenly asked: "Do you know where the fleet of the Judge Civilization is?"

"The news a day ago is still looking for the traces of the combat joint fleet." Someone responded.

"I remember that they seemed to have offered a reward of 500 million star coins for finding the trace of the combined fleet." Li Ming pondered: "It would be a waste if I didn't take it."

"Hmm?" There was a silence in the command room.

"Should we give them the coordinates?" Sandro was puzzled.

"Let's test the waters with the Judge first." Li Ming's eyes flickered.

He estimated that even if he didn't give the coordinates, someone would give them. It would be better to take the reward himself.

Four days later, Li Ming, who was developing gene seeds, came out of the room. Ulrich was already waiting at the door and quickly said:

"Half a day ago, the first batch of the Judge fleet had jumped to the vicinity of the coordinate point and seemed to have negotiated with the combined fleet."

"We have no way of knowing the specific conversation, but the combined fleet has entered combat status, and the Judge fleets are arriving one after another. It seems that it is about to start."

Ulrich explained the current situation to him, and he went to the command room all the way.

Everyone stood up, and Li Ming walked straight to the big screen.

In the background of the red starry sky, nearly a hundred huge Judge main ships and the large-scale escort fleets brought by these main ships have gathered.

According to the information obtained by the Torch Organization, those pale golden warships that are almost as huge as the Cornell are the "Judgment Main Ships" of the Judge Civilization, and their appearance is like a trident blade.

The fleet composed of a hundred main ships is the famous "Judgment Fleet" of the Judge Civilization.

But when the last batch of Judgment Fleets slowly emerged.

In an instant, a dazzling energy torrent suddenly shot out from the nearby star stream ribbon.

It seemed to be several times brighter than the bright clouds nearby, as if it would make the red river star stream dim.

"Ambush!" Everyone's breathing stagnated slightly, looking at the star stream ribbon torn apart by the energy torrent, in which a large number of fleets in array were hidden.

The energy torrent was fired by the main gun of the bomber ship, a warship specially used for firepower strikes, and the main gun level was not even weaker than that of a conventional main ship.

In other words, if any of them were thrown into this energy torrent, they would only end up being reduced to ashes.

Then, the catapults of these heavy bombers opened, and missiles surrounded by purple light were slowly ejected, with blazing fireworks spraying out from their tails, and their speed began to increase exponentially.

"Physical missiles." Li Ming was quite surprised. He had never really experienced interstellar wars. The scattered battles between a few or even hundreds of warships in the past were not considered major wars at all.

Energy weapons have been highly developed and have various superior characteristics.

Most physical missiles have been abandoned. The cost is really terrifying. Unlike energy weapons, as long as they are well made, they can be in service for decades.

But physical missiles that can still appear in interstellar wars must have extremely terrifying lethality.

The giant missiles launched by the heavy bomber were locked, and streams of light came first.

If they cannot hit the target, they may be detonated in advance. This is a disadvantage of physical missiles.

The regular army of the Judge is not bragging after all, and they quickly counterattacked.

But when the energy attack came, a purple shield rose on the surface of the physical missile and blocked it.

The first wave of energy bombardment on this joint shield, a considerable part of it was blocked.

But a round of main gun-level salvos has made this seemingly thick shield flash violently.

The physical missiles that hit almost at the same time exploded, and the dazzling explosion light continued to emerge, and the violent energy reaction was shocking.

The regional intensity dropped sharply, and was even torn apart, and a defensive vacuum zone appeared.

When the vacuum zone appeared, the warships that were originally protected by the joint shield had to be exposed to the subsequent energy torrent.

The other half of the heavy bombers followed closely and launched the second batch of ammunition.

This time it seemed that it was not an ordinary missile, and it did not explode, but released a violent shock wave.

The last batch of judges who were about to complete the materialization began to twist and deform, and tore and shattered under the disordered gravitational waves.

The last part of the fragments of these warships were thrown to the center of the judge fleet, and then a large explosion occurred in succession.

"Gravitational wave interference bombs will have a devastating impact on the target in the jump." Ulrich whispered with a look of shock.

At the top of the Star Ring Guard, Asmara, wearing combat uniform, looked grim and murderous, overlooking the bright stars: "The third round of attack begins!"

More artillery fire and more physical warheads began to pour out, bombarding the Judge who had just reacted.

Ambushed, the Judge fleet lost the initiative and could only fight and retreat, leaving behind a pile of wreckage and broken limbs.

In the command room of the Coyle, everyone who witnessed this ambush was silent.
