Lu Chen was already used to this method.
For example, in a certain lighthouse country in the previous life, whenever there was a scandal that was difficult to cover up in the country, they would immediately officially announce the discovery of aliens.
Or they might publicize a balloon flying over the border, or even send fighter jets to launch missiles to hit the balloon.
In this case, who cares if your train derails and toxic chemicals leak out over a large area?
The Empire knows this.
Seeing that the paper could not contain the fire and the empire's image was damaged, he did not defend himself, but immediately released an even more shocking news.
Lu Chen opened the official news website of "Empire Entertainment Weekly".
A simple video was posted, with no title and no text.
There is only a blurry video of less than five minutes...
Lu Chen opened the video.
In the corner of the screen, there is also the logo of the Scavenger Alliance and the date of shooting, but the date of shooting is mosaic.
At the beginning of the video, it seems that a huge solid planet was blown up and meteorite fragments were scattered across the star system.
A very rare interstellar beetle ship, with a red shell and black spots. It is unclear whether it is a star beast ship or a modified ship. It may be a combination of both. In short, it looks tattered.
This tattered Beetle spaceship staggered through the meteorite belt, ramming along the way.
Because it is being pursued by three Imperial Seawolf-class patrol ships!
Lu Chen also felt strange.
Judging from the flying speed of the Beetle spacecraft, it looked like a refugee ship with its level 30 engine disabled.
The question is, why did the empire dispatch three Seawolf-class patrol ships to pursue this broken ship?
They didn't even fire cannons, but planned to capture them alive.
Soon, the video gave the answer.
The Beetle spacecraft actually forcibly started the warp engine in the meteorite belt, exploded a space vortex, and immediately disappeared into the meteorite belt.
In order to allow the spacecraft to start the warp engine without being interfered by the pursuing patrol ships, a black shadow jumped out of the top of the ship and pounced on the three patrol ships.
The black shadow does not look big, and its body is about the same size as a human body. It has a pair of wings and its wingspan is only about ten feet.
The video was too blurry, and Lu Chen couldn't clearly see what kind of mini star beast it was.
Until the black shadow suddenly opened its mouth and spit out a stream of red-gold flames, instantly burning through an imperial patrol ship...
"This is... a dragon?"
Lu Chen was dumbfounded.
He forcibly downloaded the video and analyzed it frame by frame. No trace of forgery could be found in the video.
Could it be that everything Prince Tully said was true?
Gloria rubbed her eyes, looked closer, and curled her lips.
"Are you kidding? How can there be such a small dragon?"
Ellie analyzed:
"With such a body size, the beastly flames emitted can burn through the Imperial Seawolf-class patrol ship. Probably only the legendary Flame Dragon and Suzaku can do this."
The other two patrol aircraft immediately made emergency maneuvers to distance themselves from them.
Then, four combat armors were released, firing a large amount of stun mist and injections at the black dragon, and releasing web bombs.
Two spaceships, plus four armors, spent a lot of effort to subdue the black dragon and drag it into the cabin.
Unexpectedly.
The black dragon just pretended to be unconscious and bound, and then suddenly opened its mouth in the cabin and sprayed out a stream of blazing dragon flames, instantly burning through the patrol ship.
Fortunately, reinforcements had arrived at this time.
A stellar fleet from the empire headquarters quickly arrived on the battlefield.
It has the same configuration as the imperial fleet that Lu Chen encountered in Zhenling Continent.
A SEAL-class destroyer, led by four Seawolf-class patrol ships, and two frigates and supply ships, rushed to capture the dragon.
There was even a level 80 imperial spy ship following behind.
Even so, it is very difficult to capture the black dragon alive.
This black dragon seems to be invulnerable to invulnerability, oil and salt, any medicine or spiritual net restraint will not work, and the means of controlling beasts and controlling magic are also useless.
Coupled with the dragon flames that are enough to burn through the empire's profound gold, it would be as difficult as climbing to the sky to capture the black dragon alive.
In desperation, the fleet had no choice but to use stupid methods.
Kite play.
All stretched out, long distance, large-scale, small-yield artillery attack, in order to continuously consume the black dragon's physical strength.
Finally, the video was edited and fast-forwarded. It took an empire headquarters fleet capable of destroying the armed forces of an entire star system for two hours to capture the black dragon.
The video ends.
By this time, the video had been reposted on all major social media platforms in the world.
Includes Adventurer Forum.
It was like a depth charge was detonated in the universe, sending out billowing waves that swept through all places where public opinion was recorded.
There are actually dragons in the galaxy!
Who the hell cares about the disgusting things about the Empire anymore?
According to legend, the Dragon Clan is the spiritual beast that absorbs spiritual energy the fastest and the most powerful amount of spiritual energy. It is the legendary species at the top of the spiritual beast pyramid in history and is known as the King of Spirits.
In the ancient barbaric era, the earliest dragon clan can no longer be traced.
But soon, many diverse subspecies appeared.
Among the most famous subspecies, there are two types.
One is an Eastern dragon that looks like a long-legged flying snake. It is good at swallowing clouds and mist, and calling for wind and rain. Most of the time it is an auspicious beast. It is very destructive when it goes crazy. It is good at stellar-level large-scale attacks.
The other type is the Western dragon that breathes dragon flames. It is mostly a symbol of the devil. It is good at fixed-point blasting with dragon flames and is more like an assassin.
The mini black dragon in the video is obviously a Western dragon!
By the time of the Empire ten thousand years ago, the concentration of spiritual energy in the Milky Way was no more than that of the barbaric era, and the extinction of the Dragon Clan was doomed.
Because the Dragon Clan was too proud, they couldn't let go of their stature and refused to reduce their body size. They were unable to adapt to the interstellar apocalyptic era with weak spiritual energy, and eventually starved to death.
Another classic legend about the dragon clan is that if a cultivator wants to become an immortal, he must take dragon pills to resist the thunder and calamity of heaven.
Therefore, since ancient times, human cultivators have been keen on hunting dragons. No matter how dangerous it is, they have been hunting for dragons one after another.
In the pioneering era and the imperial era, hunting for dragons was always the first goal of interstellar exploration.
By the end, the search for the dragon almost became something of a religion.
In addition to looking for dragons, there are also people who want to cultivate dragons.
The Imperial Academy of Sciences once cultivated several dragons through spiritual cloning technology.
However, with the current concentration of spiritual energy in the galaxy, it cannot support the huge size and terrifying density of spirit and flesh of the Dragon Clan.
The spiritual pressure of the spirit gathering array is enough, but the spiritual energy is not pure.
Dragons bred in the laboratory, even if they live in a high-concentration spirit-gathering formation and are fed with a large amount of spiritual resources, will be severely stunted and can only become a star in the zoo.
Not only the Imperial Academy of Sciences, the Federal Academy of All Souls, or various underground laboratories have conducted similar experiments, but so far they have not been able to restore well-developed dragons, not even adults.
However, there are still many races that are the mixed descendants of dragons and other spiritual beasts that continue to this day.
For example, dragons, certain types of snakes, and most spiritual animals with dragons in their names...
Among them, some descendants of dragons can even merge with humans and become humanoid.
For example, more than 1,200 years ago, the Federal Rebel Army was first led by a tribe of dragon descendants.
However, even in the New Federation, dragon blood is extremely rare and has been diluted from generation to generation.
Now, such a small and cute black dragon suddenly appears in the Milky Way.
There is only one possibility——
Dragon people return to their ancestors!
Although everyone knew that the empire was shifting its focus, this focus was really too explosive.
All major mainstream websites are buzzing.
Many website servers are overwhelmed.
Various analysis videos have appeared on the Helium Flash website one after another. Although there are different opinions, the authenticity of the videos is basically confirmed in the end.
Some people from Darknet even said that this video was put up for sale on Darknet more than ten days ago.
Lu Chen guessed that Prince Tully must have paid in advance to watch the video on Dark Net, so he invited him to go on a fishing expedition on the Misty Starfish, hoping to catch the dragon bait first.
No wonder even the Guernica Beast Controlling Group came to Fog Sea Star and paid attention to his whereabouts.
The shooting date of the video was blocked, but Lu Chen quickly cracked the block and saw that the incident happened half a month ago.
The escape of the giant beast from the Brick Planet Belt and the Horn's acquisition of 25,000 points were all a matter of front and rear steps.
"Could it be that the horn horn incident is also related to the black dragon?"
Lu Chen immediately opened the adventurer forum to see if he could find more relevant information.
Suddenly, I discovered that someone on the forum had reposted a video just released by "Federal Free Stars".
Just half an hour after Empire released the video!
It seems that it is also related to the black dragon.
Almost within the same hour, the three major traffic figures in the universe all appeared. After you sang, I appeared on the stage. In order to gain traffic and public opinion focus, a turn-based game was actually played!
The press in the galaxy is in disarray.
It’s not enough to watch the Adventurers Association and the Empire taking turns, but the New Federation is also here to help!
On such a lively day, even the Guernica Beast Controlling Group went to the adventurer forum to post a message to cheer up. Wouldn't it be very shameful for his new federation to be invisible throughout the whole process?
Who doesn’t have a few short videos on their wristband?
You can send it, you can send it!
Lu Chen thought he would be the protagonist today...
He clicked on the video posted by "Federal Free Stars".
The video is also a bit blurry, like a candid shot.
In the center of the frame is a rocky planet shrouded in night.
High towers, iron walls, spiritual magnetic formations covering the world, and low-altitude patrol ships filling the sky...
It looks like a planet that has been transformed into a prison.
Although the logo on the tower was mosaic, Lu Chen recognized it at a glance. It was a typical imperial independent prison style.
The Empire's independent prison means that there is only one prisoner in the entire planet-style prison.
A prisoner who cannot be killed, or cannot be killed, and is so dangerous that he can only be held with the defense power of a planet.
Sudden!
The ground rumbled, and the steel-covered earth began to tremble.
Soon, the high-pressure spiritual magnetic formation was stretched open, and a hole opened in the iron wall.
The cracks spread quickly.
An almost red flame, like a volcano erupting, tears apart the earth's crust and rises into the sky!
In the sky full of firelight, a figure resembling a black dragon was seen crossing the night sky.
The red flames spewed out like lava, burning the tower, the warden as a sword spirit warrior, hundreds of guards, and the patrol ships in the sky...
The reason why it looks like a dragon shadow is because its wingspan appears to be just over ten feet wide.
This means that the body of a dragon is roughly the size of a human being.
Then, amidst the sirens, Black Dragon snatched a patrol ship, folded its wings, got into the ship, and sailed away.
The figure behind the folded wings was clearly that of a human, like a skinny boy...
Or a girl with short hair.
The second video not only confirmed the authenticity of the first video, but also destroyed the vulnerable imperial prison.
Gloria was quite calm. She raised her head to drink, pinched her waist and sighed:
"It seems that Pangu Corridor is about to usher in a new era of great navigation... Maybe we can also settle on a certain planet, set traps, and harvest newcomers' leeks."
As expected of you... Lu Chen shrugged and said:
"I thought you were going to say, let's go hunt for dragons too."
Ai Li reminded Lu Chen:
"The captain doesn't need to go out of his way to look for the dragon. If the Shadowless Whale is really the dragon bait, the dragon will come looking for you... and you will eventually meet."
As she spoke, Ellie looked very excited, her ice blue eyes sparkling with stars.
Lu Chen was speechless.
"Why are you so excited? This black dragon is much stronger than us combined. If he really comes, will I still survive?"
Gloria patted Lu Chen on the shoulder and said confidently:
"It depends on whether you are the chosen one or he is the chosen one. Maybe you are better than the True Dragon Emperor."
—Honey affirmation from the Chosen Mother.
Ellie had more optimistic expectations about this matter.
"I think the current captain is a well-known liberator, and this atavistic black dragon must be an oppressed person. There may not be any conflict when you meet, and you may become good friends!"
"I hope so."
Lu Chen was not afraid that the black dragon would hurt him, but he was worried that being chased by the black dragon would affect his normal adventure life.
Right now, the Internet is still abuzz.
But Lu Chen already felt tired, and he no longer wanted to pay attention to public opinion.
There are still two days left to travel to Thousand Island Sea.
"You guys sail the boat well and I'll take a bath."
Lu Chen turned off the video and news websites, calmed down and took a sip of tea, then went to take a bath.
He usually took a shower, but today he was a little tired, so he lay in the bathtub and soaked leisurely.
When a person is alone, he will inevitably think about life.
Thinking back on the adventure for over a month.
Every time I want to have a leisurely and quiet adventure, I always end up having something earth-shattering, and now I have gradually gotten used to it.
What kind of happiness do people need?
Is there something you didn’t like before, but later you like it because you are rich, famous, and have status?
Have you forgotten your original intention, or have you discovered a new world?
Soon, he fell asleep on the pillow next to the tank.
Until the bracelet suddenly vibrated!
He received an email.
An email from Rust Star’s best friend Wang Qunyu!
He had only been at sea for more than a month, and for some reason, when he saw the name of his best friend, he suddenly felt like he was in another world.
This email was sent a day ago, and it took a day to reach Lu Chen's bracelet.
There is only one video in the email.
Lu Chen clicked on videos a little too frequently today.
In the video, Wang Qunyu and a female classmate stood on their farm and greeted the camera.
The female classmate's name is Long Lala, she is pretty, she is Wang Qunyu's goddess, but she once confessed her love to Lu Chen.
However, Lu Chen's thoughts were all on the stars and the sea, and he was not interested in the love between his children.
What's more, in his opinion, this Long Lala is not very good-looking, and she is a bit green tea, which is his least favorite type.
Wang Qunyu, who embraced the beauty, didn't mind at all and said to the camera generously:
"Lu Chen, I advise you to come back quickly, otherwise Lala, who likes you, will marry me.
Alas, I don’t want to be a tauren either, but if you never come back, I can’t wait for you all my life, right?
If you come back late and we cook the rice, then I'm sorry, I can only introduce my beautiful mother to you. "
With that said, the camera turned to Aunt Wang.
Aunt Wang in the camera not only lost weight successfully, she even became whiter, and she suddenly looked like a girl.
"What nonsense are you talking about? If you scare Lu Chen so much, will he still dare to come back?"
She slapped Wang Qunyu on the head, almost giving him a concussion.
Then he said to Lu Chen opposite the camera:
"Xiaolu, auntie has seen the news about you on Wuhai Star. Although you have won many medals and points along the way, you are also too famous. The universe is so dangerous. Being too famous is not a good thing. If you meet one day If it’s difficult, just go back to Rust Star and hide your name, take the two girls on your spaceship with you, and live a good life... Auntie has always hoped that you can be safe and happy."
Lu Chen was quite moved when he saw it.
When he was in the most difficult time, it was also a great blessing in life to have friends who supported him and his friend's mother.
Then, he smiled and pointed at the camera, preparing to record a video of replying to the email.
"Lala, I wish you and Qunyu good luck on your wedding. I already have two beautiful wives, don't miss me..."
…
at the same time.
The end of the morning glow route.
Imperial Cube Fortress, Achilles.
This is the administrative center of the empire that oversees hundreds of imperial military bases and mining areas along the Asaka Route. It is also the headquarters of the empire's headquarters, the 109th Fleet, the [Izumo Fleet].
In the general's mansion.
A stack of huge printed photos about Lu Chen and the Original Star Adventure Group appeared in the emergency strategy conference room.
