Voyage of the Stars.

Chapter 1369 Krol Civilization

In fact, while the Great Voyage Organization's fleet was still sailing through the stargate, the exploration ships exploring this galaxy had already been discovered.

However, it was not destroyed; it was simply taken over by the local civilization, preventing further exploration.

Since the main body of the Galactic Grand Expedition Organization was still inside the stargate, they were unaware of what was happening outside.

Therefore, when the Galactic Grand Expedition Organization's fleets emerged from the stargate, they were also greatly surprised by the sight before them.

On their side, the probe ships of various civilizations were all driven to the area where the Stargate was located, which is the edge of the dark matter halo of this galaxy.

Meanwhile, the Great Voyage Organization also discovered that many combat fleets had arrived in this star system. Judging from the information transmitted back by the probe ships that arrived first, there were at least tens of billions of warships here.

All of them were second-generation civilization-level warships.

They hadn't detected any signs of civilization during their previous explorations, yet now so many warships had appeared. It was somewhat unexpected, but the Galactic Grand Expedition Organization quickly learned the reason.

That must have been because the various civilizations of the Galactic Great Voyage Organization entered the stargate before their own probe ships were discovered, and the poor communication between the inside and outside of the stargate caused this time difference effect.

However, the fleet that arrived here did not seem to have much ill intentions, as evidenced by the fact that the Galactic Great Expedition's probe ships had not been destroyed.

Similarly, the massive fleet did not approach the stargate, but instead maintained a distance of several light-years, stationing itself in space.

Of course, since the main fleet is waiting here, there is also a fleet at the stargate exit. However, these fleets are all small-scale patrol fleets, and their numbers are obvious at a glance.

"Friends from afar, welcome to the Krol Galaxy, the fourth logistics base of the Abyss Grand Expedition Organization. We are the Krol Civilization, a Level 6 civilization under the Abyss Grand Expedition Organization."

The Galactic Grand Expedition Organization had just emerged from the stargate when it received a message from a distant fleet. The civilization in the message identified itself as the Kroll Civilization.

The reason why passage was possible upon first meeting was understood by the various civilizations of the Galactic Great Voyage Organization: the probes that arrived in this galaxy ahead of time were the result of their contact with the Kroll civilization.

While many of those probes are unmanned, there are also manned spacecraft, and the flagship of a typical probe fleet is manned.

The flagship of the exploration fleet of various civilizations in the Great Voyage Organization is usually a star-class warship, with one star-class warship leading a large number of planetary, sea-class, and mountain-class spaceships.

For this reason, the Galactic Grand Voyage Organization was not surprised when it received the information.

"The Kroll Galaxy, the Kroll Civilization?!"

At this moment, the leadership of the six distinctive technological civilizations of the Galactic Grand Voyage Organization has gathered in the virtual hall, and this question was raised by one of the representatives.

It doesn't matter who says it, as long as it represents the Galactic Great Voyage Organization.

"Yes, the galaxy named after our civilization is quite an honor for our friends who have traveled from afar!" The Kroll civilization seemed to have no ill intentions. They sent another message to the Galactic Great Expedition Organization, explaining, "You must have many questions. In fact, your probe ships have already asked some of them, but we know they can't decide anything, so we're waiting for you here."

"As for our fleet, you don't need to worry about it too much. This is just one of the fleets of our Kroll civilization. We have come here for two purposes: first, to welcome you, our friends from the distant stars, and second, to prove to you that we are a powerful civilization."

"Hehe, you don't need to make a fuss. Our Krol civilization is quite direct. We believe that by showing a little force, we can avoid some trouble. For example, some of our friends who came from afar are not very friendly and attacked us as soon as they saw us. However, the grass on their graves is already more than three feet high. I hope you will not repeat the mistakes of those friends."

"As for why this star system is called the Kroll Galaxy, it's because it's actually our base, the fourth logistics base of the Abyss Grand Expedition Organization. Our Kroll civilization is responsible for guarding it until the day the Grand Line is opened!"

The Abyss Grand Expedition Organization?
Fourth Logistics Base?

Grand Line?

Responsible for guarding?

As new terms appeared, the leaders of various civilizations within the Galactic Great Voyage Organization all showed expressions of confusion, and they immediately began whispering among themselves to their respective civilizations' think tanks.

However, before they could finish their discussion, the Kroll civilization sent another message: "We have been stuck here for 20 million years, and during that time we have encountered friends from distant stars, well, the Far Voyage Organization. But you are the first to come out of this stargate."

“Over the years, civilizations including ours, members of the Abyss Grand Expedition, have explored this stargate, but have mostly been lost in the distant cosmos. We later concluded that the other exit of this stargate had been damaged.”

"It seems our conclusion was wrong. After all, you've already come out of the stargate, which means the other stargate wasn't damaged; perhaps it just stopped working. If we're not mistaken, it was you who opened the other stargate, right?"

"Yes, we opened the stargate on the other end!" the Galactic Great Voyage Organization responded.

Kroll Civilization: "Very good. In fact, after reaching this conclusion, we have been paying attention to this stargate, hoping that a civilization would emerge from it, and this is one of the reasons why we were able to discover you."

"Well, I hope you won't be like those friends who came from afar before, thinking that you've crossed the stars and are invincible, and that you'll want to kill us as soon as you see us."

"Hmm, it seems you're quite rational now. At least you haven't attacked us since you came out of the stargate, have you? Or perhaps our decision to bring the fleet here successfully intimidated you? Heh, either way, our first real encounter was quite amicable, wasn't it?"

Seeing that the Kroll civilization was talking nonstop, the leader of the Divine Matrix civilization became somewhat impatient. He immediately asked the first question on behalf of the Galactic Grand Expedition Organization: "What is the Grand Line?"

Kroll Civilization: "It seems our friends from afar are a bit impatient. Alright, alright! You must also be a major maritime organization. Since you've come here, your goal must also be the Boötes Great Void. That makes sense, since the so-called Grand Line is the route from this star system to the edge of the Great Void!"

"Isn't that obvious?" the leader of the Divine Rule Civilization thought to himself.

However, before he could continue the conversation, the Kroll civilization sent another message: "This star field does not refer to the star field within the Kroll Galaxy, but rather to a large star field consisting of dozens of star systems, including this Kroll Galaxy!"

"From the area we control to the edge of the Great Void lies the Grand Line. The Grand Line is made up of stargate nodes. As far as we know, this area should have been the permanent residence of a certain cosmic civilization in ancient times, but now it is full of Type II Breakers and their lackeys. We must open up the route to reach the edge of the Great Void."
