Chapter 408, Black Hole Interstellar Pirates

There are three main routes leading to the Sanzhu Galaxy of the Yanhuang Empire, and the three routes correspond to three level 3 civilizations, Raymond Civilization, Oaks Civilization, and Kalan Empire.

Some of the three routes need to pass through the territory of these three civilizations directly, while some do not need to pass through them, but are very close to the border. Among them, the route taken by the Abwell civilization mentioned above to the Sanzhu Galaxy is the route in the direction of Raymond Civilization. This route does not need to pass through Raymond Civilization, but it is also very close to the border of Raymond Civilization.

For the other two routes, one route has a section that needs to pass through the territory of Oaks Civilization. If it detoured, it will increase the distance a lot. The other route passes through the border of the Kalan Empire, and the section that needs to pass through the territory of the Kalan Empire is not long.

Now there are interstellar pirates on all three routes who specialize in robbing space merchant ships heading to the Empire's Sanzhu Galaxy. The Empire first suspects these three level 3 space civilizations. The Empire believes that ordinary level 2 space civilizations should not have the courage to rob passing merchant ships.

Only these three powerful level 3 cosmic civilizations have the strength, conditions, and more importantly, the courage to rob these passing merchant ships.

The route direction of the Kalan Empire is the Hobro Galaxy. The geographical location of the Hobro Galaxy is very unique. To the direction of the Sanzhu Galaxy, a large area of ​​galaxies around it must pass through the Hobro Galaxy, and this Hobro Galaxy is also a galaxy without any life planets.

Although it belongs to the Hokus Civilization, a level 2 cosmic civilization, it is located in the remote area of ​​the Hokus Civilization, and there are no life planets. When the Yanhuang Empire was not famous, there were no merchant ships passing by here, so the Hobro Galaxy was left alone and was not managed at all.

Naturally, this place has become a good place for interstellar pirates to start, a must-pass place, and they can leave quickly after the start. There are many space-time ocean currents around that can pass through the various directions of the secondary spiral arm. It is completely unaware and no one can find it.

The entrance and exit of the space-time ocean current from the Hobro Galaxy to the Sanzhu Galaxy is the place where all the caravans must pass when returning to their own civilization from the Sanzhu Galaxy. It has always been a place where interstellar pirates like to ambush and rob.

Because compared to robbing the merchant ships that came, it is more cost-effective to rob these returning merchant ships, because most of the merchant ships returning to their respective civilizations are full of arms and weapons purchased from the Yanhuang Empire. The arms and weapons of the Yanhuang Empire can be sold at a good price whether they are used by themselves or sold to other civilizations.

In the dark and gloomy void, huge spaceships flew out of the entrance and exit of the space-time ocean current. These spaceships seem to have no difference from ordinary spaceships in appearance, but these spaceships are too large, comparable to medium-sized space battleships, and 10 of them can even be comparable to large space battleships.

Soon, spaceships in the void illuminated the dark starry sky here, and spaceships continued to pour out of the entrance and exit of the power ocean current, and soon the number reached several thousand.

From the appearance and design style of the huge number of spaceships, it is clear that they are not merchant ships of a civilization. It is obvious that merchant ships of several civilizations have joined together to pass through this dangerous section.

After the caravan composed of thousands of spaceships formed a formation in the void, they looked very anxious and hurried to another entrance and exit of the space-time ocean current.

All this was clearly reflected by the monitors densely distributed in the void to an interstellar pirate group, the Black Hole Pirates, who had been ambushed here for a long time. The reputation of the Black Hole Pirates was not loud, and even very few people knew about it. It was not like the Red Beard Pirates, which was known by all the passing merchant ships.

But this Black Hole Pirates was the truly terrifying interstellar pirate group, because all the prey they targeted was like the matter sucked away by the black hole, and would never appear again. Every time the Black Hole Pirates attacked, they would never leave any survivors, so naturally no one knew how terrible they were.

"Thousands of spaceships?"

"Sanfir Civilization, Laska Civilization, Isabel Federation, Grange Empire? I didn't expect these civilizations to act together. This is a big fish. Should we eat it or not?"

"If we want to eat it, we must eat it all without leaving any. But this time there are thousands of spaceships. It's not that easy to eat them all."

"But if we don't eat them, there must be countless weapons and ammunition of the Yanhuang Empire in these thousands of spaceships. It would be a pity to miss them. There are very few such big fish."

"Order, start!"

After careful analysis and observation, the Black Hole Interstellar Pirates could not resist the huge temptation. Thousands of spaceships, or spaceships returning from the Sanzhu Galaxy of the Yanhuang Empire, can be said to be filled with countless weapons and ammunition. This piece of cake is too tempting. Although there are still some doubts, they still decided to start.

The spaceships that had been ambushed in all directions quickly started up. In the dark and gloomy void, these unactivated spaceships were similar to small meteorites and asteroids, and did not attract attention at all, especially in the Kuiper belt area, where there were a lot of asteroids and meteorites.

As long as the spaceships were parked near larger asteroids and meteorites, it would be even more difficult to be discovered. If the surrounding meteorites and asteroids were very dense, it would be an excellent hiding place.

In the void, in the dark and gloomy universe, the powerful engines of the spaceships that had been ambushed for a long time began to start, and soon bright spots lit up in the void.

At the same time, from these bright spots, countless small spots, like a group of fireflies, spread continuously. Soon, this bright spot was covered by large groups of fireflies, and soon, it formed a straight line and went towards the caravan spaceship group.

"Swoosh!"

Powerful energy beams began to break the tranquility of the void, like a sharp sword cutting through a dark curtain, directly attacking some of the spaceships at the front of thousands of spaceships.

"Boom!"

Huge and dazzling fireballs rose up in the void, causing chaos in all the spaceships in the caravan. They actually encountered interstellar pirates.

"Haha, everyone listen to me. Congratulations on becoming the captives of my Black Hole Pirates from now on. You can choose to resist to the end. In that case, we don't mind turning you into interstellar dust."

"Of course, if I were you, I would choose to surrender wisely. I'm in a good mood today. I just want your goods. I can be kind enough to spare your lives."

Electromagnetic waves spread in the void, and the people of the Black Hole Interstellar Pirates began to shout. After all, they were also for the goods of the merchant ships, so if they could let the other party attack by surprise, it would naturally save a lot of trouble.

"Hehe, I really encountered interstellar pirates. I want to see which civilization you are disguised as, the Black Hole Pirates?"

In the space caravan, on a space merchant ship that is comparable to a large space battleship, Liu Xuling looked at the huge group of fireflies that were constantly rushing in from the dark void outside, and couldn't help but smile.

This huge merchant fleet was carefully disguised by Liu Xuling's army. Among the thousands of spaceships, there are more than 1,000 Empire spaceships, and thousands of unmanned spaceships. All space battleships, spaceships, etc. have added a camouflaged shell, and they can't be seen as Empire battleships and spaceships at all.

"Humph! You dare to touch the cheese of the empire. That's more than just cutting off your hand."

"Sending out tens of thousands of spaceships at once, such a powerful force is absolutely impossible for ordinary civilizations. Moreover, I have never heard of this black hole pirate group before. It is estimated that most of them were wiped out by them. Not even a little information leaked out. Obviously, they are afraid of being known by our empire."

Liu Xuling looked at the statistical data in the monitoring system. In the surrounding void, tens of thousands of spaceships were gathering at this time. At the same time, tens of millions of space fighters were like a huge group of fireflies, rapidly approaching. Obviously, they all wanted to capture these thousands of spaceships by landing on the spaceships.

"Notify Lin Xiaolin, their warships should come to support quickly."

"When these space fighters get closer, use the optical magnetic traction beam to capture some of them. Hehe, we will soon know which civilization is behind this."

Liu Xuling gave the order very calmly. In the void 2 astronomical units away from Liu Xuling's caravan, a larger group of imperial warships had already been ambushed here and were on standby. These warships were all flying over via warp engines, and no one noticed them at all. They were also Liu Xuling's backup.

As Liu Xuling's order came, the vast starry sky was originally very dark and silent, but in the blink of an eye, dazzling tail flames began to appear in the void, and the entire void began to become brighter. One by one, the imperial space battleships began to rush towards Liu Xuling.

The number of these space battleships is very large, with a total of 50,000 space battleships. It is obvious that they are not just used to deal with these interstellar pirates.
