Deep space, astronomical distance, with the technology of the underground dwarfs, for the time being, they could not tell whether it was a transport ship or an entire fleet.
Being able to distinguish the subtle fluctuations that might be caused by the reverse deceleration of the thrusters from the noise signals of various blue-shift radiation sources in the universe was already a big improvement. After all, they did not have the super ability of the Thin Man.
After discovering the suspected Red Man spaceship, the entire fleet's action immediately accelerated a lot, ready to fight at any time.
If the news of the battle on the cold star spread out at the speed of light, it should have already run ahead of them. Chu Yunsheng also did not know the relationship between the Red Man and the master of the Xue Yuan Messenger. If they insisted on intercepting them, then this order would be received by the Red Man very soon, at least before the two sides met.
And the incident on the desolate star had only happened a few days ago. No matter how fast the news was, it would still be a few light-days away. The upper limit of the speed of light meant that the Red Man must also know nothing about the desolate star at the moment.
The reason why the underground dwarfs could discover the suspected Red Man spaceship was because they had been on the way for a long time. The light signal produced by the deceleration had already spread to the desolate star, and it was also historical information. It was their shadow from a long time ago. As for where they were now, other than speculating based on their movement trajectory, the underground dwarfs also did not know.
The early stage of the war in a large-scale space was like a strange kind of hide-and-seek. You could only see the position before you hid, but you would never know where you were now. Even if you could see the other party in the telescope, it was just a shadow of the past.
Compared to the Red Man, the only advantage of the underground dwarfs' fleet was speed, which was faster than the spaceship on the cold star and the distress spaceship.
But this was the most suitable advantage for Chu Yunsheng. He could attack and leave quickly, come and go like the wind, and would not be surrounded. With the defensive performance of the underground dwarfs' fleet, once they were surrounded, even if he and several cardinals had three heads and six arms, they would still suffer heavy losses, and even the whole fleet would be destroyed.
In the battle on the cold star, they were only stopped, but they were not surrounded. In the end, they were almost wiped out.
Therefore, whether it was on the supply planet or the desolate star, Chu Yunsheng and the underground dwarfs did not plan to stay for too long. It was meaningless. With the speed and level of their technological development, the longer they stayed, the bigger the gap between them and the more advanced Red Man.
This kind of gap was not something that could be made up by building one more battleship or a few more battleships. Even if they built one million or one hundred million battleships, it would still be a pile of garbage.
Just like now, they could effortlessly kill all the primitive people in the entire desolate star in one day. No matter how many primitive people there were, whether it was ten thousand, a hundred million, or tens of billions, it was all the same, without any difference.
Even if he had the knowledge of a fine expert, if he wanted to surpass the Crimson Man who was already far ahead, the amount of time needed was almost impossible to see the end of.
Many years ago, an ordinary spaceship that the black-haired astronaut had snatched from the Red Man was far more advanced than the current battleship of the underground people!
This was a cruel world where the gap was, the Red being, the weak and getting stronger. Dwarfs were all being.
The primitive people naturally did not know that danger was approaching. They were still "fighting" with the demarcation line. Over the past few days, although many people had walked out of the demarcation line, there were still some people who insisted on staying in the enclosure.
Dwarfs, of course, did not know that danger was approaching. They were still "fighting" with the boundary line. Over the past few days, although many people had walked out of the boundary line, there were still some people who insisted on staying in the circle.
The primitive people on the coast had no choice but to migrate to the inland. After the frozen waves melted, the water flooded thousands of miles, and the spreading flood drove them away from their "home".
They brought new legends to the natives of the interior; some said with certainty that they had seen the Devil, others that the White God had vanquished it, but still others said that they had seen it somewhere else, and that it was in hiding, waiting for a chance to reappear.
For a while, it made people panic. Every night, in those dark corners, behind the big rocks, there seemed to be a dark devil that would jump out at any time.
Only when the fighter groups passed over their heads at high speed would they feel a little relieved.
For this reason, they began to "create" a more primitive "exorcism" ritual after performing the ancient ritual of worshiping the gods.
According to the oral tradition of the primitive people who lived along the coast, they searched everywhere for natural white lime and painted their naked bodies white to symbolize the gods. Then, they used simple and crude withered branches to make sacred exorcism artifacts. If the members of the battle squad looked very, very carefully, they might be able to see that the appearance of the artifacts seemed to be a little similar to the weapons in their hands.
In order to become an Exorcist Sorcerer, he couldn't be just anyone. He had to be pure and clean. If there was a person who had been asked a question by a team member, even if they didn't understand the meaning of the question, it was very significant. It was equivalent to having some kind of mysterious certification, and from then on, they could sit firmly in the position of a Sorcerer without any doubts.
At night, there were many places where such rituals were held. Next to one of the circles, after the routine sacrifice, a solemn exorcism ritual was also going on.
The Magus was an old woman whose eyes were filled with arrogance. This was because a team member had once said as much as three sentences to her!
This was unprecedented!
There had never been such a miracle among the primitive people in the vicinity!
Therefore, she fully deserved to be a Great Sorcerer. She became the person closest to God, and no one dared to question her.
In fact, the combat team member only wanted to tell her not to pile up feces at the entrance of the cave. At that time, there was an exploration team entering the cave to investigate.
It was impossible for a normal recruit to be equipped with incomplete translation equipment. In the end, even after gesturing and speaking three times and seeing that the other party still didn't understand, he could only gloomily shut up and think about the day of his payday.
But the primitive people did not know that when she came back, everything changed!
She, who had been abandoned by the people, suddenly shone with white light, and became the object of respect and worship.
Therefore, she became a famous Great Sorcerer within a radius of tens of kilometers. She would not take part in ordinary small rituals. She would only personally preside over the sacrificial and exorcism ceremonies, which highlighted her identity. Of course, only she had the qualifications.
It should be known that if the primitive people in other places wanted to invite her to preside over a ceremony, the price would be extremely high. Fortunately, the White Gods did not need them to dig for crystals. Otherwise, if the price was converted into crystals, it would be enough to establish a new tribe in the past.
Under the service of two young and beautiful girls, she, with a proud expression, finally walked to the center of the exorcism field under the expectant gazes of tens of thousands of people, covered in white lime!
She personally and solemnly picked up the magic tool offered to her. Her legs staggered, and she jumped up to secretly observe the standard posture of the combat team members.
She actually had some skills. For example, many stupid sorcerers could not learn the posture of the combat team no matter how hard they tried. But she had talent in this area, and in addition to her hard work, she secretly learned it. Among the primitive people in the vicinity, her posture was the most similar to the standard.
Opportunities would always be given to those who were prepared and diligent. These words were not wrong when applied to her.
She sometimes jumped away, sometimes bent down, sometimes advanced, and sometimes dodged. Just as the other primitive people were watching, mesmerized and extremely nervous —
Ah!
She suddenly shouted, scaring the timid primitive people to the point that they almost wanted to run.
Then, she touched the side of her face. This subtle movement proved her professionalism, because when the members of the battle team discovered their targets, they would use their hands to look through their masks so that the higher-ups could see first-hand the information in time.
Of course, that shout was an artistic treatment she had added, mainly to accentuate the imposing manner of the God. At the same time, it was also a signal.
Every time at this time, her assistants, the two beautiful girls serving as the sorcerer, would take out a demon made of withered grass and place it in her path.
The appearance of the demon was made of greyish-brown dirty mud, symbolizing darkness and evil.
Once the demon appeared, the expression on her face immediately became exaggerated. She rushed forward in an incomparably holy and heroic manner, then raised her artifact to "shoot". Finally, in her loud shout, the demon was engulfed by the flames ignited by the service, burning fiercely.
Just like before, under the worshipful gazes of the other primitive people, the proud her rushed towards the demon that had already started to burn.
In the flames, the primitive people shouted, shouting loudly to kill the demon.
The withered grass demon that was slowly flying away in the flames was about to be pushed back to the entrance of the underground cave. The entire ceremony was about to end, symbolizing the return of the demon to the evil underground.
But today, something unexpected happened. When the scattered flames fell, an extremely pure and gloomy shadow walked out from the flames!
The proud great sorcerer did not react for a moment, still holding her artifact, she bravely charged towards the shadow. But immediately, she was horrified to find that she actually could not move an inch forward.
"True Demon!"
Someone in the crowd shouted in a trembling voice. The primitive people who were still boiling just now suddenly became quiet as if their necks were strangled.
Then, an extremely magnificent scene appeared. Screams, cries of fear, cries … Sounds rang out. Amidst the chaos, all kinds of things were sent flying. There were beast skins, tributes, and magical artifacts. Everything was overturned and fluttered in the air. People fled in all directions.
In just a blink of an eye, the huge venue was empty, not even a ghost could be seen.
Only the female sorcerer, whose legs were already trembling, was still standing in the same place, facing the murderous shadow alone.
It was not that she did not want to run, she wanted to grow wings and fly away, but she could not move at all. Her legs did not listen to her at all.
In fact, as long as she did not move forward, she would not be unable to move at all. But the huge psychological fear had made her lose all her ability.
Chu Yunsheng looked at the primitive people in front of him inexplicably. He just came to the underground to see what the Red Man was doing. He did not expect that as soon as he came out of the cave, he would be "blocked" by a group of primitive people.
Knitting his brows, he immediately disappeared.
After he disappeared for a full ten seconds, the female sorcerer finally stopped breathing. After a few more minutes, she realized that she was finished, completely finished!
She had attracted the true demon, she would no longer be trusted, her career prospects were all gone, it was like suddenly falling from the peak.
She stood there, motionless.
However, when the other primitive people carefully turned around, when they saw that she was standing there unscathed, and the true demon had disappeared, they were instantly shocked!
The next moment, the crowd rushed towards her in awe …
…
More than a month later, one after another, spaceships flew across the sky, leaving behind beautiful rainbows. In the eyes of countless primitive people on the ground, they flew into the boundless clouds.
God was going to leave!
In their eyes, there was confusion, fear, and nostalgia …
God taught them how to weave nets, taught them how to plant, taught them how to use simple tools. Although he did not teach them how to write, God said that it was a world that they had to create.
Now, God was going to leave. Would he come back after a thousand years?
No one knew, and God did not say.
Perhaps the sorceress would eventually be able to create a new primitive religion and sweep across the continent. Perhaps the leader, who was scarred like a knife, would one day walk out of the wasteland with the warriors of his tribe and start a war of conquest … The black-haired man in the spaceship also did not know.
Perhaps, when the technology of the desolate planet developed to the modern era of Earth, their descendants would be confused about why there was a grand altar built tens of thousands of years ago in the prehistory of the Desolate Era?
Why was there a huge platform on the plateau that was so flat and level that they could not repair it, like a landing base?
Why was there a metal artifact found in a mine deep in the ground? Why was there a radioactive element residue detected in a valley?
Why was there a man in a white spacesuit carved on the primitive cave wall? Why was there a mythical demon next to it?
…
In the fleet that was slowly accelerating away from the desolate planet, a mechanic nervously checked the number of small spaceships he was in charge of and asked his colleague in a low voice.
"Why is one spaceship missing?"
"Who did it?"
…
In the dark space, a fleet thruster ejected light blue light and gradually disappeared into the dark starry sky.
