The Marsh family happily agreed to this unprecedented overseas reinforcement.

After all, it is related to the family's future plans. From the moment the decision was made, the family machine started running rapidly. With green lights all the way, the foundation of an earldom began to explode, with massive supplies and immigrants, and the army quickly gathering.

An immigration fleet consisting of 12 giant transport ships, 5 large immigration ships, and 24 cruisers was formed that day and set off at dawn the next day.

Naturally, such a big move by the Marsh family cannot be hidden from the eyes of interested people. The news that Viscount Wright took the main family members out to explore is not a secret. It is self-evident what the Marsh family's reaction at this time represents.

That boy Wright must have found the treasure!

I just don’t know what the Marsh family’s treasure is…

But what is certain is that by bringing so many people there, is it possible to discover a colonizable planet?

The surrounding imperial aristocratic territories suddenly became agitated.

The planet where the Marsh family is located is called [Tianci]. It was the first colonial star discovered by the empire after it recovered from the catastrophe. Since then, it has been used as a special star for the empire to reward nobles. It also means that the noble territories are given by the emperor.

There are two dukes, a dozen marquises, and dozens of counts distributed on the Tianci Star. They are not only the heroes born in the catastrophe, but also the pioneer families of the current empire. They are the vanguard of the empire's exploration and recovery of the Sanctuary Star Cluster.

therefore,

When the Marsh family fleet set sail, all other forces on the same colonial star knew about it, including the two dukes.

So later that day,

More than a dozen fleets set sail roaringly from star ports on various planets, tracking towards the Marsh family fleet. For a time, the entire southwest sector of the empire became lively, and people were in a panic because of the actions of the Marsh family.

How can a small earl of your Marsh family hold on to such great benefits of the colonial star? The good things should be shared by everyone~

However, what all parties did not expect was that the much-anticipated immigrant fleet of the Marsh family disappeared in front of the trackers after several warp speeds.

To be precise, it disappeared into a desert.

Meteor Jedi!

The Jedi are called Jedi because the environment here was affected by previous catastrophes and was very harsh and unstable.

Normal navigation is manageable, but once it enters the warp state, it will become very deadly. It is common to be torn apart by abnormal gravity. It is more likely to plunge into the spreading purple nebula and be instantly eroded into space junk.

so,

The waterways in Jedi must be explored slowly and with a lot of resources and energy, and cannot be entered rashly.

This is also the reason why all parties know that there are abundant resources in Jedi, but have been slow to explore them.

but,

The Weigel people are not included in this list. Their territories are all hidden in the Jedi. Otherwise, how would they have escaped the empire's crazy siege.

The Vigors unearthed more advanced gravity sensors from the ruins, using them to map waterways and monitor gravitational changes in the Jedi, allowing them to travel freely.

This is also the reason why Macan was able to find the Qianyan Galaxy first.

As for the Marsh family, the waterway was deliberately leaked to them by Macan in order to lure them into the game and ultimately take advantage of the enemy. The Marsh family alone would not have been able to find the Qianyan Galaxy.

The same applies to other families. Of course, there is no way to follow the Marsh family's immigration fleet further.

Looking at the fleet of the Marsh family disappearing into the distance, all the families in Tianci Star had mixed emotions. They did not expect that the Marsh family, which had always been so secretive, would quietly perform such a feat.

A safe channel through the Jedi is not only of great value for developing star maps, but if it is placed in the hands of the imperial military, it can also penetrate directly into the Weigel controlled area, allowing the Weigel people who have been raiding the empire to have a try

What a backyard fire feels like.

For a time, all parties had ulterior motives and undercurrents surged.

They unite to block the news, and then put pressure on the Marsh family to make the old earl hand over the channel, and finally the entire Tianci Star will profit together.

It is better to report this news to the imperial military. Although most of the benefits may be taken away, the victory is safe. If the empire wants to operate this waterway in the future, Tiansend Star, as a bridgehead, can still make a lot of profits.

Two options,

For the little nobles with no ambitions, the latter is naturally more suitable, but for the two ambitious Dukes, it is of course more satisfying to swallow up all the benefits themselves.

If this is really the case, then the fleet of little nobles present...

"No, send the information back quickly, the Duke may want to kill someone and silence him!"

The incident happened suddenly. The younger nobles did not have a standing fleet, so they could only improvise a few ships to make up the number. Only the two Dukes brought a complete space battle group, and it was a real main fleet, with a total of 6 ships.

An Imperial-class battleship!

Therefore, after realizing the risks here, the smart little nobles suddenly changed their expressions and urged the crew sternly.

However, Jiang is still too old, and the two duke fleets have already launched operations in tacit understanding.

"Ship...Captain, hyperspace communications have been interfered with!"

On one cruiser after another, the crew members were shocked and turned pale.

"Then let's go to warp speed. No matter what, let's run first!"

The family members who came with the nobles were a little collapsed, but they still had a strong desire to survive and wanted to make a last struggle.

Unfortunately, from the moment the two dukes made their decision, their fate was doomed.

"Entering warp speed...failed..."

The crew's voice was like a death sentence, which made the hearts of the little nobles completely freeze.

The next moment, the heavy turbolaser cannons on both sides of the six Imperial-class battleships opened fire violently. The little nobles who had not even brought a single Jaeger-class battleship were immediately faced with a disaster. Their cruisers burned under the gunfire and were torn to pieces.

Come.

No one can leak the information here.

Several Jaeger-class ships parked quietly beside the battlefield and did not move rashly.

They belong to several marquises. Although they are no match for the fleets of the two dukes, they are not those small fish and shrimps after all. They still have some negotiation capital. They can wait for the dukes to clear out and have a round of negotiations. It is best if they can reach an agreement.

If not, we can only gamble on the probability of sending the news back.

Soon, this remote galaxy returned to peace.

All the little fish were dead, and the two full imperial main fleets faced off against the three improvised secondary fleets. No one knew what they discussed and what kind of deal they reached in the end.

…

On the other side, there was the Marsh family immigration fleet that had just disappeared from the sight of a group of noble fleets.

On the bridge of the Arquitectus-class ship in the center, Kurt Marsh sat proudly on the large command chair, swaying a glass of wine leisurely in his hand.

This Earl did not stay in the family fiefdom, but actually came with the immigration fleet!

"Haha, the two old guys from the Rennes and Coyles really think that I don't know what you are planning. I won't play with you anymore~

You are treating this poor place like Tianci Xing as a treasure, so earn it and beat it to pieces. This is exactly what our venerable Majesty wishes..."

Earl Coote murmured excitedly, revealing some surprising information in his words.

The two earls of Tianci Star seem to have plans for this colonial star, and the emperor of the empire also has some unknown plans. An unprecedented storm is brewing within the seemingly peaceful empire.

"Navigator, how long until we reach our destination?"

A capable imperial officer turned around with his hands behind his back and straightened his body to report to Kuthui:

"The current course is stable, and it will take 115 warp voyages to reach the target galaxy. It is expected to arrive in 72 hours."

Earl Coote nodded, then restrained his excess emotions and began to close his eyes and rest.

Since only the shipping lanes established by the ancestors can safely pass between the galaxies in the Aegis star cluster, it is impossible for the fleet to reach its destination directly in one warp speed.

When passing through each galaxy, the spacecraft must break away from warp speed and recalculate the gravitational parameters of the galaxy, so that it can safely pass between the gravity wells of each planet.

When encountering a galaxy with abnormal gravity, the spacecraft needs to frequently enter and exit warp speed, and compete with complex environmental parameters little by little. If you are not careful, you will be in catastrophe.

Among the Jedi, galaxies with abnormal gravity can be seen everywhere, which is why Kurt's fleet needs to make so many jumps.

in addition,

In addition to entering warp speed, which requires a certain amount of time to recharge, re-adjustment of course or bypassing the gravitational anomaly requires the use of the spacecraft's conventional engines, which can only reach a maximum of one quarter of the speed of light.

If the abnormal area is very large, the spacecraft may even need to sail for several days to escape the interference area, which undoubtedly greatly increases the time cost of navigation.

If you don't want to be so troublesome, you can't do it unless you have a stargate set up at two points, or you have a hyperspace core, or you have the ancestors' crossing technology.

Otherwise, we can only take a detour.

Because of this, the waterways between the star systems on the Empire's border are covered with warp inhibitors, or gravity trap generators, which can effectively prevent warp speed ships from passing by.

Low-level suppressors can only eject the spacecraft from the warp state, while high-level suppressors can even directly cause an air crash, leaving the intercepted fleet in a paralyzed state as soon as it comes out, leaving it at the mercy of others.

The former is often used by more advanced pirates, while the latter is only available to the imperial military.

This is why a secret waterway without blockers is so precious.

Compared to the vast universe, the Shelter Star Cluster is just a small fish pond. A number of forces are moving around here. With one more channel, the living space can be increased several times.

I wonder who is not moved?

No matter how strong the Vegels are, a group of grave-digging robbers cannot fight against the huge imperial machine. You must know that the Galactic Empire is the only one that has survived among the three dominant civilizations at the time, and its foundation is so profound.

The main reason why the Weigel people could not be eliminated was that the complexity of the Jedi made it uneconomical for His Majesty the Emperor.

When one day the Weigel people lose their secret channel, it will be time for the Weigel people to be liquidated by the empire.
To be continued...
