Star Survival: The Rise of the Fourth Scourge

Soon, the golden door slowly opened.

Ralph, wearing a brown and black military uniform, walked in hurriedly.

At the edge of the pool, he stopped and performed the aquila salute.

"King, why did you call me here late at night?"

At this time, it was late at night during the empire's work and rest time.

The "King" must have something important to do when he calls him here so late.

Li Meng stood up and looked at Ralph on the other side of the pool.

"Assemble the fleet and stay with five battleships. The fleet will immediately head to the S-01888 star system..."

Hearing this, a trace of doubt flashed in Ralph's eyes.

The rebels who appeared in the S-01919 star system have just evacuated. Why does the "King" want to withdraw the fleet to the S-01888 star system?

Lowering his head slightly, Ralph asked: "King, does this include the eight newly launched warships?"

After standing up, Li Meng came to the glass wall and looked at the dark starry sky outside.

He said: "This time we are going to the S-01904 star system to attack a common enemy with other forces. We must gather all the forces we can. Go, don't delay, and set off."

"But... King, the blessing ceremony of the ship is not over yet. Do you want to wait for a few more days?"

After giving up slightly, Li Meng said: "Keep everything simple, and the same goes for the blessing ceremony during the voyage."

Without saying anything more, he performed the Sky Eagle Salute again.

Ralph took a few steps back, then turned around and strode away.

Soon, outside, orbiting the dark planet.

The battleships that were originally scattered in orbit on all sides erupted with dazzling white tail flames.

"Every ship listened to the order and immediately went to coordinates 2157.5121 to assemble. The fleet is about to set sail for the S-01888 star system..."

Following Relf's order, three "Firestorm-class" escort ships and seven "Cobra-class" escort ships set sail from all sides of the planet's orbit and headed for the assembly point.

Looking from the surface of the planet to the sky, one can see comets passing through the starry sky from all directions.

Soon, the fleet gathered in the universe outside the planet's gravity well and headed deep into the starry sky.

There were ten battleships in total, and the tail flames ejected from their tail engines formed ten comets passing through the starry sky in the dark sky.

Suddenly, in the starry sky in front of the fleet, the space became distorted.

Purple-red subspace cracks appeared immediately.

Fleets sailing at high speed flew into it one after another and disappeared without a trace.

As the fleet disappeared, the subspace cracks quickly collapsed and finally disappeared.

As the fleet left, the darkness and silence returned to the vast starry sky.

On the upper floor of the palace on the Yuanxing, in the hall outside the master bedroom.

Li Meng also saw several purple-red flashes in the distant starry sky.

He knew that the fleet had set sail, entered the subspace, and was heading to its destination.

…

S-01888 star system.

Time flies by so fast, and before you know it, a month has passed by quietly.

It’s another new day…

Today is a day like no other.

With the arrival of a fleet, the peace of the S-01888 star system was finally broken.

Linda also ushered in the moment she had been waiting for to set sail.

In the orbit of the planet, a "V3" transport boat dragged a long white tail flame across the starry sky.

Deep in the starry sky ahead, there is a huge fleet.

At a glance, there were thirteen giant ships in total.

They float quietly in the dark starry sky, and their dark hulls give people a solemn and heavy feeling.

At this time, in the cabin...

Looking at Li Meng sitting on the opposite seat, Linda hesitated to speak.

"What did Miss Linda want to say?"

Li Meng suddenly looked at Linda and asked.

Linda was stunned when Li Meng looked at her and asked.

She smiled slightly and said: "I stayed in the Governor's Mansion of Ark One for more than a month. I only saw NPCs, but not any Earth players. It seems that the "Terra Empire" still doesn't trust me."

Li Meng is Chinese, and everyone she met in the Governor's Mansion on Ark One was of European and American ethnicity.

Although they are a little different, they are taller, their skin is fairer, and their appearance is also different.

But those people are definitely not Chinese, and they are definitely not a race on earth.

It should be an NPC with a technological template civilization.

What an NPC is, Li Meng has learned from Linda this month.

In the eyes of humans on earth, non-human beings on earth are all NPCs.

Although it is a bit gamified, the experience suffered by humans on earth at this time is not a game.

A game of survival on the sea of ​​stars...

Regarding Linda's question, Li Meng smiled lightly and did not answer.

Seeing that Li Meng asked but did not answer her question, Linda rolled her eyes.

She wanted to know the answer, but was too embarrassed to ask.

Linda changed the topic and said, "I wonder if Mr. Li Meng has thought about the future of the alliance?"

Regarding Linda's new question, Li Meng did not answer, but asked: "What does Miss Linda think I think?"

Linda smiled and said: "This matter is very complicated, but also very simple. Whether it is an individual, a group, or a country, where there are people, there will be interest disputes. The situation that mankind is facing now is very special. Everyone has We are groping forward bit by bit, because we are afraid, we are unwilling to trust others, and because of fear, we all become very selfish. "Zero" gives us a chance to survive and gives mankind a new era towards the stars, but Where is the future of mankind? Should we fight each other for a little selfish gain, taking the battlefield from the earth to the stars, or should we work together to seek a future? There are two general directions, but there are countless futures, and each future will bring The human race has had a huge impact.”

Li Meng had to admit that Linda was a thoughtful woman.

She does not think there is anything wrong with the previous radical behavior of the "UNSC", nor does she think it is right.

In her eyes, everything the "UNSC" does is to survive.

Attacking the "Terran Empire" is for survival, because a rich mine is enough to change the future of the "UNSC".

The alliance with the "Terra Empire" is also for survival, because only with the "Terra Empire" can we defeat the "Xinjing Shogunate".

And the results of victory will affect the future of "UNSC".

If it were him, he could think of these words, but he couldn't say them.

Communication between people is both simple and complex.

People are the foundation, whether it is a group, a force, or a country.

In the final analysis, it is still about getting along with each other.

Sometimes a decision may affect an individual, a force, a country, or even the future of a civilization.

When a person holds power and stands higher, his every word and every decision will have a huge impact.

Li Meng knew that Linda was reminding him.

Remind him that as the leader of the "Terra Empire", he must look at everything from a higher perspective.

Leaning back, Li Meng looked at Linda with a half-smile.

"If everyone could look at things from the perspective of human civilization and race, and think deeply about the future of humankind, then human beings would no longer be human beings."
