Survival of the Stars: Rise of the Fourth Scourge

Soon, the golden door slowly opened.

Ralph in brown and black military uniform hurried in.

By the pool, he stopped and performed the eagle salute.

"King, I don't know why you called me here in the middle of the night?"

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

"Wang" must have something important to call him so late.

Standing up and sitting up, Li Meng looked at Ralph on the other side of the pool.

"Assemble the fleet, just stay with five warships, and the fleet will immediately head to the S-01888 star system..."

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

The rebel army that appeared in the S-01919 star system just evacuated, why did the "king" withdraw the fleet to the S-01888 star system?
Lowering his head slightly, Ralph asked, "My lord, does that include the eight newly launched warships?"

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

He said in his mouth: "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 that can be assembled. Go, don't delay, and we can start."

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

Wei Wei gave up, Li Meng said: "Everything is kept simple, and the blessing ceremony is the same during the voyage."

He didn't say anything more, and performed a sky eagle ceremony again.

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

Soon, out there, in orbit around the dark planet.

The warships that were originally scattered on all sides and stayed in orbit had dazzling white flames from their tails.

"All ships listen to the order and immediately go to the coordinates 2157.5121 to assemble. The fleet is about to set sail for the S-01888 star system..."

Following Ralph'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 ground of the planet to the sky, one can see comets passing by the starry sky from the four directions of the sky.

Before long, the fleet gathered in the universe outside the planet's gravity well, and drove to the depths of the starry sky.

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

Suddenly, in the starry sky ahead of the fleet, space distorted.

Cracks in the purple-red subspace appeared one after another.

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

As the fleet disappeared, the warp rift collapsed rapidly, and finally disappeared.

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

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

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

He knew that the fleet had set sail, entered the warp, and was on its way to its destination.

……

S-01888 star system.

Time passed quickly, unconsciously, a month passed quietly.

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 her long-awaited moment of departure.

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

In the depths of the starry sky ahead, there is a huge fleet.

At a glance, there are thirteen huge ships.

They float quietly in the dark starry sky, and the dark hull gives people a solemn and heavy feeling.

At this time, in the cabin...

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

"What does Miss Linda want to say?"

Li Meng suddenly looked at Linda and asked.

Linda was taken aback by Li Meng's look and question.

She smiled slightly and said, "I stayed in the Governor's Mansion on 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, but all the people she met in the Governor's Mansion on Ark [-] were of European and American race.

Although it is a little different, the physique is taller, the skin is whiter, and the appearance is also different.

But those people are definitely not Chinese, and they are definitely not earth races.

It should be an NPC of the technology template civilization.

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

In the eyes of Earth humans, non-Earth humans are all NPCs.

Although it is a bit gamified, the experience of human beings on earth at this time is not a game.

A game of star sea survival...

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

Seeing that Li Meng asked, but didn't answer her question, Linda rolled her eyes.

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

Linda changed the subject, and said again: "I wonder if Your Excellency Li Meng has thought about the future of the alliance?"

Li Meng didn't answer Linda's new question, but asked instead: "What does Miss Linda think of me?"

Linda smiled and said: "This matter is very complicated, but also very simple. Whether it is an individual, a group, or a country, there will be conflicts of interest wherever there are people. The current situation facing human beings is very special. Everyone We are groping forward bit by bit, because of fear, we don't want to trust others, because of fear, we all become very selfish, "Zero" gave us a chance to survive, and gave mankind a new era of marching towards the starry sky, but Where is the future of human beings? Do they fight each other for a little self-interest and bring the battlefield from the earth to the starry sky, or do they work hand in hand to plan the future? There are two general directions, but there are countless futures, and each future will give The human race has a huge impact."

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

She does not see any fault or right for the previous aggressive actions of the "UNSC".

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

Attacking the "Terra Empire" is for survival, because a bonanza is enough to change the future of "UNSC".

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

The outcome of victory will affect the future of "UNSC".

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

Interpersonal communication is very simple, but also very complex.

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

In the final analysis, it is still the relationship between people.

Sometimes a single decision may affect the future of an individual, power, country, or even 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, as the ruler of the "Tara Empire", to look at everything from a higher perspective.

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

"If everyone can look at things from the perspective of human civilization and this race, and think deeply about the future of human beings, then human beings will not be human beings."
