Chapter 244 237 Box Star Territory

Bai Zhongqi could distinctly feel the unease in the heart of this Captain Xiao Tangjian from the Bupinga civilization. Being thrown to a group of "aliens" to toil and serve, even subject to their power of life and death, could never be a matter to take in stride.@@@@

The lifespan of the Bupinga was comparable to that of the Iridium Star people, generally living for over two hundred years. These "mercenaries" dispatched to serve other civilizations could, after fifty years of service, continue to serve the Bupinga for an additional hundred years.

Bai Zhongqi hesitated for a moment over this "kind offer," but he soon gladly accepted it.

Standing before Xiao Tangjian, Bai Zhongqi spoke confidently, "The Eagle Shield Civilization also hires technical personnel from other civilizations to serve us. All of you have experience in cosmic voyages, and our Universe Army of the Eagle Shield Civilization could certainly make use of your skills. We will employ you according to the standards of military treatment within our civilization, you will have a considerable income, reasonable holidays, and our respect. Of course, we can never fully trust any personnel who come to us, so the Eagle Shield Civilization will perform certain modifications to your bodies to monitor you. If any actions are taken that harm or threaten the interests and safety of our civilization, they will be immediately eradicated."

Xiao Tangjian bowed again to Bai Zhongqi and said, "Yes, sir. Since we are to serve your civilization, we will uphold the utmost professional ethics and accept any form of supervision."

Bai Zhongqi nodded, having briefly reviewed the credentials of these Bupinga mercenaries; most had over ten years of cosmic voyage experience, and some had even participated in cosmic battles. Although their systems were somewhat different from that of the Iridium Star Civilization, none of these experiences were things Bai Zhongqi could currently cultivate in Earthlings as members of the Universe Army.

A force of 1266 individuals was enough to man a main battle ship, or could be divided into crew groups for four or five medium and small vessels. For Bai Zhongqi at the moment, any operational warship could become a vital resource in the resistance against the invasion of the Teizene civilization.

After sending He Qiu and Xiao Tangjian away, Bai Zhongqi sat on the soft couch in the hotel suite, continuing to look at the intelligence pack about the Box Star Territory he had purchased earlier.

When buying the intelligence pack, Bai Zhongqi naturally did not overtly ask for information about the Teizene civilization; that would have been too conspicuous. He did not trust the Bupinga merchants, who might inform the Teizene as soon as he obtained their information. Discover exclusive content at My Virtual Library Empire

Bai Zhongqi had purchased intelligence on three star regions surrounding the Ankui Star, all of which were adjacent areas, including the Box Star Territory. This made the transaction less suspicious.

The three star regions were the Giant's Chalice Star Region where Bupinga resided, the Strange Palace Star Region, and the Box Star Territory, the stronghold of the Teizene. Before coming to the Bupinga Star, Bai Zhongqi wondered if the Box Star Territory was truly as Teizene claimed, entirely conquered by them.

Many spores were blasted into space by the explosions, and these spores soon adhered to the Teizene warships. The miraculous spores corroded the warships, leading to the destruction of a large number of their ships. Any Teizene who came into contact with the Ankui spores was parasitized by them, eventually becoming nutrients for the spore beings.

An entire Teizene Fleet was annihilated, and the fleets that came afterward were also attacked and corroded by the spores drifting through space. What was even more terrifying came later: after the spore clusters overtook and corroded a Teizene warship, they actually assembled into a warship-shaped supergiant "mushroom."

What might sound funny, or even appetizing, was the "mushroom warship" that could accelerate its spore cannonballs to the level of Electromagnetic Cannons. The Teizene discovered, to their amazement, that although these spore cannonballs were not very powerful, they could withstand Energy Shields and absorb the energy of the shields, ultimately rendering them ineffective.

Upon contact with matter, these spore cannonballs could swiftly consume the material, regardless of whether it was metal or organic. The domineering Teizene suffered a setback in front of this Ankui civilization and even panicked for a time, fearing that these spore beings would spread to other planets. Fortunately, the spore beings from Ankui eventually returned to their home planet. Those terrifying mushroom warships ultimately split into countless spore lives, scattering across every corner of the planet.

As a result, the Teizene dared not approach the galaxy system where Ankui was located. Within this system was a very suitable main sequence star and several planets with developmental value, but all the Teizene could do was sigh in longing.

Bai Zhongqi was amazed by this story, but he had no intention of utilizing these spore beings from Ankui to deal with the Teizene. If the Teizene couldn't handle them, Bai Zhongqi didn't believe he was currently capable of mastering these spore lives. No one yet understood the operating mechanisms of these spore lives, their societal system, or their decision-making processes.

Apart from Iridium Star and Ankui, the other civilizations within the Box Star Territory posed no threat to the Teizene. Bai Zhongqi's aspiration to find allies within the Box Star Territory to counter the Teizene had come to naught.

Even in other Star Regions, although the Teizene had a bad reputation, no civilization was willing to confront them with an unheard-of entity like Earth civilization.

The intelligence package had little recent news, mostly information that the Bupinga had found through public channels. The information they had obtained indicated that half a month earlier, a massive Teizene Fleet had set out, its destination unknown.

This revelation caused a panic among some civilizations. Some even actively questioned the Teizene about the purpose of their dispatched fleet, to which the Teizene naturally didn't give them a friendly response. Various neighboring civilizations also prepared for possible stealth attacks. Civilizations with Warp Speed detection radars closely monitored their detectors so that if the Teizene Fleet really did come, they could know in advance.

While a group of civilizations big and small fretted over this, only Bai Zhongqi knew that the true destination of the Teizene was Earth, 1000 light-years away.
