As soon as I opened my eyes, my avatar was gone [Interstellar]

The entire Corvia Empire occupies the three galaxies of Odin, Fastow, and Serfen.

The capital is located in the central Fastow galaxy, and the Odin galaxy is bordered by the Beltar Federation.

The Breathing Wind Star located in the Serfen galaxy is an important city on the border of the Empire, and it is a fortress planet that focuses on military defense.

Being a military center doesn't mean it's just filled with forts, ships and laser cannons. In fact, it's a planet with a very beautiful environment.

If it is not too far away, it will definitely become one of the vacation destinations for the stars of the capital.

In the interstellar era, humans have discovered many habitable planets, large and small, but most of them cannot meet the conditions of the earth, so people will modify the planets to some extent.

People on planets that are really uninhabitable will choose to give up or build space material membranes, and carry out production and life in the membranes.

The planets around Xifeng Star are considered unsuitable for human habitation due to the strong surface wind. Only the surface of Xifeng Star is peaceful and quiet, and the name "Xifeng" comes from this.

Breathing Wind Star is the territory of the Duke of Breathing Wind.

The Duke of Xifeng is one of the only three dukes in the empire, guarding the borders of the empire for generations.

It is said that the first patriarch of the Duke of Xifeng's family made great contributions to the founding of the country, so he was given such a beautiful planet as Xifeng as his residence.

The current Duke of Resting Wind is very young, just turned 20 years old.

Inheriting the title at such a young age is because of his sad past.

His mother died of illness shortly after the Duke was born, and his father was assassinated to death when he was 14 years old.

It is said that it was a rather tragic incident. Except for the young Duke who survived at that time, no one was spared in the entire Duke's mansion, which was called the "Blood Incident".

Only a few people knew how the Duke survived, and out of protection for the Duke, they kept silent about the real situation.

Only since then, the Duke has changed.

I heard that the former Duke of Xifeng was a very kind child, smiling at everyone.

Since then, the Duke almost never smiled again, as if he had built a thick barrier around himself to isolate everything.

But the psychological trauma did not affect the Duke of Xifeng's ability. As the empire's leading sentinel, the Duke still maintains a strong fighting power, and his Quantum Beast—the huge two-winged four-clawed ice dragon has become a symbol of victory.

Under his governance, Xifengxing also showed an unprecedented appearance.Not only did it perform its duties as a frontier fortress very well, but it also ranked among the best in terms of economy and other aspects among the many planets in the empire's territory.

The main city of Xifengxing is called Shimmer City, which is a garden city built near a lake.

The duke's residence and offices are located on a man-made island in the middle of the lake.

At this moment, in the Duke's office, several main managers of Xifengxing have gathered here.

"Your Excellency, the capital's defense has sent a message asking us to intercept the ships attacking the capital. I have dispatched the high-orbit security forces." Defense Officer Roger reported.

Roger Stein, a well-built young Sentinel officer, has a down-to-earth personality and is a very reliable person.

"I heard that the capital was severely damaged this time. It is reported that the death toll is more than 4000." Financial Officer Phil pushed his gold-rimmed glasses and said, "Our Royal Highness should be having a headache right now."

Phil Luo, a young sentinel with dark green mid-length hair wearing glasses, and a close friend who grew up with the Duke of Xifeng, is one of the few people who can still enter the heart of the Duke after the "Blood Incident".

"Yeah, I don't know who is so bold to attack the capital of the empire." Xi Wei, who has curly brown hair, is the only woman among them, but she holds the important position of consul and is another close friend of Duke Xifeng. , "Lan Lockard, what do you think?"

The only ones who can call the Duke by his name are Xi Wei and Phil.

The leaders of Breathing Wind Star are a young team, but no one underestimates them because of their age.

Langlocard Abricardo, the current Duke of Breathing Wind, has silver hair, blue eyes, and a handsome appearance. Even with his repulsive temperament, those who admire him can still go around the entire Breathing Wind Star several times.

The silver-haired Duke sat on the office seat, with his shrunken ice dragon standing on his shoulders, frowning slightly, and said slowly: "Wait for news. Notify the security forces, try to catch alive."

===========

At the same time, the first team of the Xifengxing high-orbit security force.

"Remember clearly, all staff will start scanning, and once they find any ships with quantum navigation, they will all be stopped." The team leader said driving the sharp knife-class combat ship.

The sharp knife class is an upgraded model of the bayonet class. The appearance of this class of spaceships is very similar to the fighter jets of the ancient earth era, and is suitable for single-person piloting and cooperative operations in space.

Once a ship in quantum navigation is attacked, it will stop quantum navigation. This is a problem left over from the beginning of the design. Scientists have spent a long time studying it, and there is no progress yet.

"Master Roger said that it is better to stop all the ships than let one go." The team leader continued to say in the team channel, "The higher authorities will bear the consequences, everyone just do it."

"receive."

"learn."

The team members on the team channel responded one after another.

"Reporting to the captain, a quantum navigation ship was found at three o'clock, ready to carry out the interception mission." One of the team members said.

The five dagger-class ships flew to the designated place together, aiming with light laser cannons.

"3,2,1, [-], [-],—launch!" The squad leader ordered.

Following the sharp knife-class gunfire, a ship without any markings broke away from the quantum navigation and appeared in front of everyone.

"The ship ahead, you were intercepted by the Wind Star security forces, please cooperate with the inspection." The team leader opened the public channel.

no respond.

"Repeat, we are the security force of the wind star, please cooperate with the inspection."

Still no response.

"Captain, what should we do?" the team member asked.

"...Positions [-], [-], and [-] are on standby. If other ships pass by and continue to intercept missions, positions [-] and [-] will follow me and prepare to board the ship." The team leader made judged.

"clear."

The team leader led two team members, equipped with guns, and prepared to log in from the right door of the unnamed ship.

"Captain, this looks like a military ship, but it doesn't have any markings, not even a serial number, so it shouldn't be our ship?" One of the team members said while hacking into the door opening system.

"Just go in and see who it is. You can work hard." The squad leader loaded the gun.

After a while, the door opened.Three people entered the interior of the ship one by one.

The interior of the ship was dark and abnormal.It stands to reason that if someone is on board, they won't even turn on the basic lighting system.

"Be careful, something is wrong with this ship." The squad leader with rich combat experience reminded.

The three of them walked all the way in from the door and came to the fire control room of the ship.

"The Razer missile system... There are traces of missiles launched not long ago..." The team leader recognized the weapon system on board at a glance, "If I remember correctly, according to the report, the attack The one in the capital is the Razer missile, and it seems that this ship is the only one that is inseparable.... Be vigilant."

The trio continued on, reaching the cockpit all the way.Strangely, they didn't meet a single person along the way.

The cockpit was also dim, and one could only vaguely see that the cockpit was facing away from the entrance and facing the universe directly ahead.

The trio exchanged glances and slowly moved towards the driver's seat.

"Don't move! We are the Xifengxing Security Force!" The team leader quickly fired his gun and aimed at the driver's seat, but found that there was no one on it.

"...What's going on here?" The team members didn't understand.

"...I'm afraid it's the autopilot system. These people got out of the ship before they got here." The team leader said.

"What should I do?"

"The rest is beyond our scope of responsibility. Report to the superior..." The team leader withdrew his gun, looked at Xifengxing with complicated eyes through the glass of the cockpit, and hoped that this incident It would be better if it wouldn't affect Xifengxing.

—————————————————————

"What!? No one on board?" Roger was surprised when he received the report, "This is impossible!"

Everyone in the Duke's office heard his words and fell into deep thought.

"The route from the capital star to here should be closely monitored, and there is no planet in the middle to stop and land. According to the time calculation, they should also directly start the quantum voyage. The size of this ship does not allow the ship The existence of the carrier aircraft, so there is no situation where these people escape by flying other aircraft." Phil analyzed, "...then there is only one possibility left."

"Someone picked him up on the way." Xi Wei said.

"It's not sure whether to pick it up or rob it." Phil gave Xi Wei a meaningful look.

"Then what should we do next? If we report directly to the capital that there is no one on board, will they believe it?" Xi Wei said while looking at Lan Locard.

Lanlocard's ice dragon leaped from his shoulders onto the desk, freezing one of the documents.

"Then I have to personally send the ship to the capital and let them investigate the black box by themselves," Lang Locard said.

—————————————————————

Ships are equipped with black boxes to record the actions of the ship.

If the words are unfounded, the ship will be pulled back to the capital directly, and the people in the capital will investigate by themselves.

Although this approach is very straightforward, it is a clear path for now.

"However, there are quite a few people in the capital who are hostile to you." Xi Wei said.

The Duke of Xifeng has been stationed on Xifengxing for generations, and has already formed a group of elite troops under his command, known as the Canglang Army.

Coupled with the booming economy of Xifengxing in recent years, not to mention the fear of the royal family, there are quite a few people who are jealous.

"They don't dare to do anything now, and the Bertha Federation is still eyeing Odin's border." Phil said, "The Duke of Quietwind has been moved, what do they make the officers on the border think?"

"That's what it says..." Xi Wei was still a little worried about Lan Locard's safety.

"It's okay, just bring more guards." Phil said, "Besides, Lanrockard's individual combat ability is an S-level sentinel. If you don't believe in guards, you should also trust our Lord Duke's ability."

Xi Wei seemed to be convinced, so she stopped rebutting.

"Roger, notify the 36th Squadron of the Wolf Legion to prepare for the escort mission." Lan Lockard has always been vigorous and decisive, and directly ordered, "Let's go to the capital."
