Chapter 1164 - 45 Xiyu Capital Star [First Update]
Chapter 1164: Chapter 45 Xiyu Capital Star [First Update]The power of the Capital Star in the Western Region could truly be called central, because it’s too far from the Central Region of the Ru Lan Empire and thus operates almost like an independent nation. The only reason it hasn’t declared independence is that the Seventh Public King of the Capital Star is the seventh prince of the Ru Lan Empire Royal Family.
Historically, the Western Region launched a direct attack on another mid-sized civilization without going through the Rulan Empire’s central command and destroyed it, thus the region’s military strength and autonomy are considerable.
"How can there be such a ludicrous emergency message? It must be from that failed Grey-yellow Star Fleet a while back, they were unstable then, and now they suddenly concoct some mysterious strong one, it’s laughable."
For the Capital Star, it was unlikely to take this distant message seriously.
However, there are also conservatives.
"That’s not right, as a military force, that fleet’s performance has always been decent. Otherwise, we wouldn’t have retained their number even after their failure. This matter of the strong one must have some truth to it, and the report also said that this strong one even killed the fleet’s commander. The opponent’s strength should be between the peak of Sky Level and Starry Sky Level. There’s just too little data to determine their actual combat power."
"Should we pass this so-called envoy’s message up the chain? What Solar System? Never heard of it, but Earth—I recall it’s the planet that our Empire once ordered to compete with the Auster Empire for Star Condensing Minerals. Could it be a coincidence?"
"No, let’s not report it further. Communicate with that fleet again to confirm their strength and see if it might be at the Starry Sky Level. If it isn’t, then it’s not a big deal."
"That’s correct. Besides, there’s no way their arrival could be so fast. Even if it’s confirmed they are at Starry Sky Level, it would take them several years to reach us. We have plenty of time."
This is how the intelligence department on the Capital Star analyzed and processed the messages from that distant fleet.
The entire Western Region is vast, with countless events occurring daily. Even Starry Sky Level Experts are many here, and the intelligence department cannot afford to respond to every suspected Starry Sky Level, not to mention this so-called ’Solar System civilization’ they’ve never heard of. Unlike the fleets on the border, the department has a deep understanding of the civilizations in the nearby starfields. If they’ve never heard of this Solar System civilization, even if the other side is indeed powerful, there’s no likely friction, as it would be a faraway civilization—and the cost of warfare back and forth would make no sense.
What they didn’t consider was that the Mining Star they knew about actually belonged to the ’Solar System.’ They called Earth’s star system by another name and thus missed the chance to learn the true face of this civilization.
Of course, even if they had known, they wouldn’t have reacted much; just a laugh perhaps. In front of the Rufus Empire, Earth people are merely primitives among the primitives, barely a threat. Even if a self-proclaimed emissary from Earth people, who happens to be strong, appears, it wouldn’t cause any alarm.
Such strength among this level of civilization does not emerge suddenly and even if it were Starry Sky Level, it wouldn’t worry them. The Starry Sky Level is strong, but it’s nothing in comparison to a behemoth like the Rulan Empire.
And it was at this time in the Xiyu Capital of the Western Region, as the message of the appearance of this strong one was being coldly handled...
A tiny space vessel, trailing a streak of light, made its way deep into the interior of the Western Region.
"This so-called Western Region of the Rulan Empire really falls far short compared to the Northern Star Domain. The whole starry sky has much fewer spaceships and battleships. It seems that although the domain sizes of both are not significantly different, their technology and national power greatly diverge."
Jia Yan rode in the vessel into the interior of the Western Region.
As a strong one who had seen the true prosperity of the Northern Star Domain, the sight of this supposed most flourishing place of the Rulan Empire’s Western Region is somewhat scorned.
Nevertheless, the Western Region isn’t as miserable as Jia Yan perceived. He only judged the level of civilization based on the degree of transformation of ships and interstellar materials. In reality, Earthlings would surely think they’ve arrived in a science fiction world upon seeing this place.
There are flying battleships and spaceships everywhere, including tourist vessels bearing various life forms. Some are similar to humans, while others would be beyond the wildest imaginations of Earth people.
Some of these beings belong to the main species of the Rulan Empire, others are foreign races or minority ethnic groups ruled over by conquest. In short, if Earth people were here, it would take quite some effort just to record the appearances and names of all the races.
Of course, for Jia Yan, this place doesn’t seem very advanced right now. After a quick assessment of the general level of civilization, he promptly resumed his journey.
His space cabin, which was capable of incredibly long-distance travel over tens of thousands of light-years, was an object of awe even to Jia Yan himself, let alone a short journey with it is a powerful tool; for the civilizations in the Orion Arm, it stands as a peak of science.
Even if handed to them for re
Thud!
Jia Yan casually landed with hands behind his back on top of their spaceship.
This was a cargo spaceship, capable of transporting goods between several planets within the Capital Star through the Energy System.
