The universe was like an endless cage.
On the black curtain, it was always adorned with stars. From a broader perspective, it was a world filled with starlight, extending to depths that mortals could never imagine in every direction. And for most civilizations, it was impossible to fully explore the universe!
Because the universe was constantly expanding, and the speed of its expansion in the chaos was far faster than the speed of civilization's exploration. Measuring the universe was a false proposition.
Just like how arrogant people always wanted to conquer the entire universe, those who did things often only looked at what was right in front of them, looking for valuable planets and conquering them one by one. Eventually, they would conquer a small star system, a large star system, and finally, all the stars they saw would be under their control.
No one knew when, but in the Moubis system, a terrifying rumor had spread among the various civilizations.
Legend had it that a burning army had entered the Moubis Civilization Sphere. Wherever they went, all civilizations would either submit to their iron hooves or be completely destroyed.
As the interstellar explorers sent back pictures of the planet filled with burning ruins, this terrible rumor seemed to be confirmed. Even though the daunting army was still at the edge of the Moubis civilization sphere, the constant shadow of destruction did not make the rulers happy.
On the stage of the stars, most civilizations actually walked the path of peace. War was always the worst choice for them.
Therefore, many large civilizations had sent out their own scouts to prepare for a rainy day. And the initial contact with the army, the news sent back made these civilizations feel relieved.
It was not that they could not communicate … and they seemed to be looking for something. Only the civilization that had it would be targeted, and the other civilizations would be treated as potential trading partners … Yes, this was not just a destructive force.
It also represented a business opportunity from a civilization sphere called the Milky Way Civilization Sphere. So, with destruction on one hand and wealth on the other, the originally fearful environment gradually calmed down.
"This civilization sphere seems to be leaning toward a totalitarian and feudal civilization system."
One of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, Pestilence, sat in her commander's seat. She reached out to play with the gift from the Moubis Civilization Sphere. It was a finely carved sculpture of a space monster, made of metal she had never seen before. It was decorated with symbols that Pestilence could not understand, but just from the craftsmanship alone, this thing was a real masterpiece.
"Sometimes it's hard to imagine that a civilization that has already stepped into the stars still uses such a backward system …"
Pestilence could not help but complain. "Looking at those messengers wearing high-tech combat suits but respectfully reciting a long list of titles with the stupidity and arrogance of the Middle Ages, I can't help but laugh."
"But the backward system in our eyes might be a unique form of governance unique to their civilization … Civilization differences, have you not seen enough of them in the Milky Way?"
Her partner, Death, who had always been silent, couldn't help but retort, "Furthermore, we've seen quite a number of feudal space civilizations along the way, right?"
"I'm just saying … It's not like I'm looking down on them!"
Pestilence snorted and turned to look at the different stars outside the porthole. She whispered, "Furthermore, this kind of feudal system is the easiest to deal with. As long as we satisfy the needs of the higher-ups, the door of a civilization is almost open to us … I just don't know if they have the fragment there."
Outside the porthole, commercial spaceships from the Alliance for the Survival of Mankind were taking off and landing frequently. On this planet that was bought by the first batch of interstellar merchants from the Alliance, a large spaceport was about to be completed. Hundreds of thousands of AI workers were working at high efficiency. In another week, this place would become the commercial capital of the Moubis Civilization Sphere.
What was worth noting was that in the steel spaceport, in the completed buildings, hidden halos of interstellar war portals were shining. This was the test of the demon warlocks who followed the army for their first teleportation.
This place was far away from the Milky Way. Once a conflict broke out, these things would provide enough reinforcements. Although the price was not cheap, at least at this stage, these things were the standard of every interstellar exploration point.
Speaking of which, the current development of the Alliance for the Survival of Mankind was actually in an abnormal state. Human civilization had the ambition to show their prowess on the interstellar stage, but the cruel reality was that they had only explored less than 10% of the original Milky Way Civilization Sphere, and most of the data came from the war star map provided by the Overlord's demonic army.
According to the estimates of the scientists of the Alliance for the Survival of Mankind, human civilization would need at least 30 to 50 years to extend their reach to every corner of the Milky Way Civilization Sphere. But just as they were doing their best to explore the Milky Way, they had to divert part of their forces to explore the far reaches of the Milky Way.
Of course, this was mainly due to the needs of the Overlord Legion. The demons were never born for trade. There was only one reason they stepped out of the Milky Way, and that was the will of the Overlord!
Although they were family in name, Saber had asked the Phoenix to help look after Universe 200000, so he had no choice but to pay a large number of fragments as a reward. This also put his originally rich fragment storage in jeopardy. The worst thing was, under the efficient "search" of the demons, all the Phoenix fragments in the Milky Way had been excavated.
Saber had no choice but to go on an expedition. He divided four legions, recruited almost all the demons in the Void, and sent his warriors to the nearest civilization sphere. At the same time, he also hired a large number of interstellar pirates as scouts.
And reality proved that Saber's decision was correct. After only three months of the expedition, the legions used different forms of trade and war to recover almost 40 fragments for him. This was enough to last him a long time, so Saber's first interstellar expedition could be considered a success.
In the battle command room of the Moubis Civilization Sphere, the generals were still chatting.
"Although the gifts they sent are very unique, don't be fooled by the sugar-coated bullets …"
The leader of the Four Horsemen, a huge war knight, was fiddling with an alien blade that was also sent as a gift. His eyes flickered with a slightly tired light.
"The Overlord's new order has been sent. Our expedition is about to end. The Moubis Civilization Sphere will be the end of the first expedition. If there are no traces of fragments here, we can immediately return to the Milky Way after the commercial port is built."
"If there are still fragments here …"
Bang!
The special-shaped blade in his hand was stabbed into the conference table in front of him. "Then we will snatch it and return home victorious!"
"Ah, I can finally rest!"
The Famine Knight in bone-white armor rested his chin on his hand and said with some boredom, "Although the stars are vast, I am a little tired of the long journey. Only the pure-blooded demons would be happy with the constant killing. After this trip, I want to relax and live a few years of peace before thinking about anything else."
"Don't think about it. You won't be able to rest even if you go back."
As if she had suddenly lost her dream, Pestilence leaned back in her chair in a limp manner. She reached out to light a cigarette and said softly, "I'm sorry.
"I heard that the Supreme War Council is recruiting heroes to go to the 200000 universe. The war intervention passed two months ago is about to be put into action. I think when we go back, we will be sent to the Yin-Yang universe as the main force to continue the war. That is a universe!" "Oh, I know that the Supreme War Council is recruiting heroes. It is said that out of the 14 civilizations there, 8 have been targeted as war targets … "
"It's not like you haven't participated in wars that destroy civilizations … Which one of them is not measured in years?"
"Ahhh!"
As she spoke, Lady Pestilence grabbed her hair and screamed, "Did I go crazy?
Why did I volunteer to join the Overlord's army? This godforsaken place doesn't even have a holiday! I haven't been to a bar in four months! I haven't put on any makeup in two months! Every day is battle, battle, or preparing for battle, constantly preparing! The Overlord is a terrible boss! "
"Oh? You mean that your mansion in Utopia, the money that you can't spend in ten lifetimes, and those handsome male servants from various civilizations fell from the sky? "
War looked at his team members from the corner of his eyes and snorted.
"That's all for now. When you go back, watch your mouth, especially you, Pestilence! Don't forget what happened to those Demon Lords who tried to resist! Aren't their brains enough to teach you respect? "
This sentence silenced everyone. Just as the expeditionary army was being formed, some Demon Lords with ulterior motives secretly formed a coalition to resist the war. Of course, demons were naturally warlike. These Demon Lords resisted the war because they were dissatisfied with the current Hell Council. It was the Hell's version of political demands.
Unfortunately, they chose the wrong time. Normally, Saber would not have cared about this small matter. But at that time, he was tortured by the lack of the Phoenix Shard and had accumulated a stomach full of resentment. The Demon Lords' resistance hit the muzzle of his gun.
Under the furious Overlord's command, an army of darkness surged out from another universe and tore through the dimensional barrier of the Distorted Void. A total of 76 planets were slaughtered, and 3.3 million howling souls were extracted and thrown into the Soul Furnace as raw materials for the expansion of the Distorted Void. This massacre that shook Hell raised the efficiency of the expeditionary army's recruitment by 500%! On the seventh day after the massacre, the expeditionary army's command center was announced.
The impact of this incident on the newly stabilized Order of the Distorted Void was shocking …
The flow of time in the Void Distortion was different from the flow of time in the real world. It had been almost 30 years since the birth of the New Hell. The newly born demons had not experienced the terrible calamity of the Light Burial of the Old Hell. They could not understand why the old demons were so fearful of the Tyrant. And this time, the massacre had made the rebellious demons understand why the Tyrant was called the Tyrant.
"I'm just saying …"
Pestilence's voice was much softer. She looked around nervously, and then said with a serious face, "The Overlord is the best! The Overlord is the greatest. Under his leadership, we are invincible … I love war! From the bottom of my heart! "
"Well, no matter what, the last shift must be in place … It's just one more month."
The War Knight knocked on the table and said to his team members, "Old rules.
Put the spies in the caravan. Wait for them to report back, and then we'll proceed with the next step. Also … I'll give you guys three days off! It's been hard on you lately … Take turns to take leave! You must ensure that there is one person on duty in the command center every day! Understand? "
"Hooray! Boss is the best! "
Pestilence jumped up from her chair like a child. This petite lady quickly recovered from her slack state and appeared to be very energetic. The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse were old subordinates who had followed Syber for a long time. The Tyrant was generous. Every time the Alliance for the Survival of Mankind made a technological advancement, they would be the first to enjoy it. Over time, their strength would increase rapidly.
When the Four Horsemen worked together, they had the combat strength of a Divine Father. It was because of this that they were appointed as the commanders of the expeditionary force.
While she was happily plotting out the details of her vacation, a high-ranked demon sorceress strode into the command room. She stood respectfully beside the War Knight and performed a military salute unique to the demon army. Then, she opened her mouth and said, "
"Mister Commander, there's a situation at the Black Market … We just found a fragment!"
"Hmm?"
The Battle Knight's gaze froze as he asked in a deep voice.
He asked in a deep voice, "Can you confirm it?"
The Demon Warlock nodded.
"I'm 100% sure, and it came from this Civilization Sphere. It's 150,000 light-years away from the commercial port, but the background of the planet is a little complicated, so Brigadier General Sergues, who is in charge of the Black Market, asked you to go there personally."
"Okay! I'll go immediately! "
The War Knight waved his hand and looked at his three team members. He shrugged.
"I'm sorry, everyone … Your leave is canceled! Enter battle mode immediately! "
"Oh! No!!! "
A scream came from the command center. A certain commander lost his dream again and became a Star Level slacker …
