Chapter 226: Leak

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Many young people in the Milky Way felt that they had seen the most dazzling fireworks show in their lives.

A large number of video clips recorded from different angles and directions circulated throughout the entire Milky Way network.

All that could be seen on the screen was a colorful screen. Those who didn’t know the inside story would probably think that this was some kind of performance art.

However, well-informed people had long known the background and exposed it. It was a so-called war between the Administrator and the Conqueror Empire.

Some civilizations chose to publicize the images sent back by their infiltrators, either purely to watch the show or for some impure purpose.

The Milky Way civilizations did not know why the Administrator would mobilize so many fleets here, nor did they know why the fleet of the lost empire would attack the fleet of the Conqueror Empire.

However, this unknown situation did not prevent them from speculating with the greatest malice.

The most popular guess now was that the extremely arrogant Emperor had kicked an iron plate and angered the artificial intelligence of the Administrator.

Although this group of people could not understand why the Administrator, who seemed to only respond to the threat of the galaxy, would attack an ordinary civilization.

However, the remaining higher-ups of the civilizations who knew about the deterrent power of the Conqueror Empire all thought of one thing at the same time, which was the strange battleship that the Conqueror Empire claimed to have mastered the construction technology.

The biggest change in the Conqueror Empire was the battleships that were suddenly controlled by them.

In the normal understanding of the Milky Way civilization, artificial intelligence would not act on emotions. Everything they did should have a purpose, and it was impossible for them to go to war just because of something that was not practical.

For example, no one in the Milky Way had ever heard of an Al that would fight a war just to show off. Even organic civilizations were the same. Any normal leader would not do this.

And the Administrator was obviously the kind of artificial intelligence that had an extremely strong purpose in everything it did. The reason why it waged war with the Conqueror Empire was definitely not as simple as being angered.

This part of the Milky Way civilization thought deeply about this matter, which made the infiltration operation in the Conqueror Empire active again, even if it required the exposure of many hidden informants.

They wanted to understand this matter so that they could make a more accurate judgment in the future.

Was the Conqueror Empire growing stronger by the day? Or the afterglow of the sunset? They were looking forward to it.

The bright and colorful main cannon light screen flashed a few times above the barrier planet before it stopped.

After the huge energy jumped, it seemed that even the space still had a burning feeling, as if one could smell the burning smell in the vacuum.

As for the fleet of the Conqueror Empire that was covered by the light curtain, it had already turned into a large piece of alloy wreckage. The metal that was covered in burn marks still told how they had been treated.

This result was slightly different from what Li Wenyuan had imagined.

“Strange, there’s no decent reaction. The batch that we encountered at the Observation Terminal can last for a while, but the few volleys here can’t?”

He was a little surprised. He had taken the Cleaner Battleship very seriously because he felt that the Active Evolution Agreement might have infected the place.

However, judging from the shooting experience, those Cleaner Battleships did not deploy their shields, and even their engines seemed to be in a very low power state. They could not even dodge a normal cannon shot.

This also led to the abnormal suppression of the battle. In a few rounds, they completely wiped out the Emperor’s personal guard fleet.

“Is it because they have been so long that these old antiques are no longer useful? Or…”

He thought that the Cleaner Battleships were active because of the active purification agreement, but the truth was often hard to predict.

Li Wenyuan had come up with many speculations, but he had never thought that the Conqueror Empire actually controlled these battleships in name.

Usually, battleships belonging to a civilization would have their own unique electronic identification. If these scavenger battleships had the electronic identification of the Empire, he might have hesitated before attacking.

However, the Conqueror Empire did not have complete control over these antiques. They did not even know how to activate its shield system, let alone add electronic labels to the system of the Cleaner Battleship.

The arrogant Emperor paid a heavy price for his face. The lost battleship he had obtained from the barrier planet was destroyed, and even his own fleet had become a piece of space trash.

However, the Emperor didn’t know about this matter. The information that was passed to him was that the Administrator had been convinced and chose to leave. This was something that any normal person would know was nonsense.

All he heard were words of praise that made him feel smug. Now, the entire upper echelons of civilization were lying to him, lest this tyrant started killing randomly in a fit of anger.

He was usually authoritative enough. If he were to learn of such a blow now, many people would be held accountable.

So while Li Wenyuan was analyzing the wreckage, monitoring the entire galaxy, and exploring the barrier planets, the Emperor was still dreaming of dominating the galaxy.

“Something’s not right… Does the active purification agreement really control this place? If this is the extent, then there is nothing to be afraid of in the final crisis…”

After a series of tests, he did not find any more evidence that the active purification agreement was here.

Although the active purification agreement here seemed to be vulnerable, Li Wenyuan certainly could not let his guard down. He even thought that this place was bait placed by the active purification agreement.

As the Conqueror Empire’s higher-ups tried their best to whitewash this humiliating encounter, he had not received an explanation from the Conqueror Empire.

Were there any smart people in the Empire? Of course there was. Even if the fleet was destroyed, those smart people could use this as an excuse to cry poor. As long as everything was explained clearly, the Administrator might even compensate them.

However, their Emperor had the power to control everything, and such a major exchange would definitely go through the Emperor’s hands before it was issued.

Although this was a good thing for the entire civilization, and the Emperor would definitely agree with it after learning about it, it was not so good for the people around the Emperor.

Everyone knew that this Emperor regarded life as grass and was extremely concerned about his face. It was normal for him to do anything after losing face.

Now, in order to ensure that their lives would not be taken away by the furious Emperor, these smart people could only choose to hide it day by day.

They were already secretly plotting how to escape. After all, this civilization had no cohesion to speak of. The ones who were most fanatical about the Emperor were the low-level slaves who had been genetically modified and brainwashed for a long time.

A large number of the lost empire’s fleet was still monitoring this place, and the nobles on the two fake colony planets in the galaxy were also in a state of unrest.

These old nobles, who were usually calm and composed, as if nothing could change their minds, showed panic for the first time.

The Administrator’s battleships were flying over their planet wave after wave. In addition, there seemed to be many small spaceships scanning the entire planet.

Having lived on top of the humans for a long time, they had once acted out first contact among a large number of native civilizations out of entertainment, causing panic among the indigenous people.

Now, they also felt the fear of being studied by aliens.

A scientist who had left the Imperial Royal Academy of Sciences hurried back to his home and asked his family to pack up. He had already contacted an informant and could run away at any time.

He had mastered a lot of technology in his head. Not only was he a key surveillance figure of the Conqueror Empire, but he was also the target of many civilizations.

Now that the Empire was in turmoil due to the arrival of the Administrator and the attack, he felt that this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

Therefore, after making a deal, he could use the cover of the infiltrator who took over the civilization to leave this place forever as long as he rushed to a specific place.

In order to better demonstrate his value and seek better treatment for himself and his family in the next civilization, he also took a lot of things from the Royal Academy of Sciences.

There were many blueprints of advanced equipment, some secrets of other civilizations, and the latest discoveries of the Conqueror Empire.

This scientist had done something big. He had retrieved a top-secret data storage device stored in the core area of the research institute. If he did not escape to a safe place in ten minutes, he would be arrested.

However, he was confident that he could escape this time.

He wasn’t too sure what was stored in this top-secret storage device, but according to some of the markings he saw, it might be something similar to the Administrator’s ghost signal.

It seemed that the dynasty had obtained it from the barrier planet. In order to analyze the unreasonable signal virus, the dynasty was secretly researching something similar to it in an attempt to make itself stronger.

At this moment, the coin-sized top-secret storage device looked ordinary, and the warning light that was supposed to be constantly flashing on it had inexplicably stopped working.

The scientists who were not familiar with this thing did not know that this actually meant that the top-secret storage device was empty..
