Chapter 411: A Storm Is Coming

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

An unprecedented mobilization began within the Exiled Civilization, not only because of the Hunter’s increasingly frequent interstellar space activities, but also because a brand new civilization had arrived in this Exile Galaxy.

Although the civilization was well-disguised, it didn’t take long for the scientists in the Exiled to discover the clues. The energy battleships on the surface were too high-quality, completely different from the Silent’s battleships.

Most importantly, these disguised battleships had destroyed an asteroid during a certain operation. The weapons used were very conventional explosive weapons.

According to the Exiled’s observations, the Silent had never used any weapons other than their strange weapons that seemed to be able to directly disintegrate matter. Even if they had the same need to shatter asteroids, they would disintegrate them directly.

It was obvious that those spaceships were deliberately using the Silent battleship’s form to disguise themselves, but the Silent didn’t react at all.

This made the Exiled somewhat confused as to whether the Silent tacitly consented to the other party’s actions or if the Silent wasn’t interested in this matter at all. This was because according to their understanding of the Silent, the latter was equally possible.

However, the mysterious appearance of the Fourth Civilization was enough to alarm the Exiled. The upper echelons of their civilization sensed the impending storm with unprecedented sharpness, so they had no choice but to make full preparations.

At this moment, in a certain space fortress on the Hell Defense Line, a special mobile fleet was on the move again. The purpose was to deal with the Hunter that might arrive.

The Hunter was a special group in the Hunter civilization. They specialized in hunting high-value targets. Among them, the Legendary Hunter was the most famous because many of the Exiled’s ace pilots had died at his hands.

The previous time, the higher-ups of the Exiled had combined the needs of many warriors and planned to kill the Legendary Hunter with a trap. The final Executor of this plan would be the most heroic ace pilot of the Exiled.

Everything in this plan was perfectly prepared and was developing in the expected direction. However, in the end, the Legendary Hunter’s unbelievably powerful performance made the entire plan fail.

In the face of absolute strength, all schemes and plots were useless. The Legendary Hunter had verified this very well.

This was also the direct reason why the Exiled would head to the Wound in pursuit of a way to break through the cycle. They had to find a way to make up for this gap.

However, it seemed that it was too late now. The abnormal movements of the Hunter civilization were also quite obvious. A considerable number of scout spaceships had already witnessed the actions of the Hunter spaceship.

Not only that, but in addition to these pioneer spaceships, even the real Hunter fleet, which they had never seen before, also showed up.

The upper echelons of the Exiled Civilization thought that the showdown might be coming soon, and this mobile fleet that was temporarily established in the space fortress was to fight the Hunter and obtain as much updated performance data as possible to estimate the Hunter’s fleet.

It could be said that this mobile fleet was sent to their deaths. In order to prolong the battle and obtain sufficient data, the most elite soldiers of the civilization had to fight.

It wasn’t that they weren’t willing to use artificial intelligence, but Hunters had a unique interest. They had no interest in fighting remote-controlled unmanned spaceships. It was even common for them to use powerful spaceships to directly leave and give up on fighting.

However, there were abnormally many elite warriors of the Exiled who chose to participate in this special mobile fleet. There was even a situation where the registration area was already full.

The previous setback did not defeat these soldiers. Instead, it incited their hatred. They knew that Hunter relied on the spaceship’s performance to defeat them. They could not take this lying down at all. Even if they died, they had to use their controls to humiliate the other party before they died and tell him, “You’re just a spaceship. Do you dare to have a real duel?!”

Because of this, the number of applicants this time was unprecedented. Even if they knew that they were asking them to commit suicide, they were not afraid.

The super stem cells in their bodies gave them powerful survival abilities, but it was hard to say if they could escape death in such an intense battle environment.

It was impossible for them to take out these super stem cells in advance so that they could be resurrected in the future. This was because these cells would quickly lose their vitality after leaving their bodies. Even with their existing lifeforms, they could not solve this problem. Only the truly lucky people could rely on the super stem cells in their bodies to resurrect from the dead in the interstellar space battlefield.

When such a lucky person arrived at the registration area, everyone stopped their noisy argument and looked at him in unison.

He was Scarface. In the last battle where he used traps to surround the Legendary Hunter, he was the last ace pilot to fight with him. In that battle, the Legendary Hunter killed everyone, but this Scarface miraculously survived, and that was under the premise that he piloted the spaceship and perished together with the other party.

It was confirmed that no one survived the battle during the cleaning of the battlefield, but Scarface was magically found on a planet on the battlefield after a while.

No one knew how he survived, but after a series of tests, he returned to the Hell Defense Line.

His face seemed to have suffered irreversible damage. Even Regeneration couldn’t reset his face, and Scarface seemed to treat it as a memento of hatred. Instead of removing it through surgery, he covered his face with a helmet.

It was said that his face was extremely ferocious, enough to scare any immature person to tears. That was why he was nicknamed Scarface, but no one knew the face under the helmet.

As the only hero who survived the battle with the Legendary Hunter, every member of the Hell Defense Line maintained the highest respect for him. Therefore, when he arrived at the registration office, everyone looked at him with admiration.

Then, the legendary figure walked straight to the officer in charge of the registration and said bluntly that he wanted to participate in this operation.

His tone was very calm, but there was a firmness that could not be refuted. The officer also solemnly entered his name into the list.

The surrounding crowd did not exclaim or cheer. Instead, they watched everything solemnly.

For them, witnessing a battle hero returning to the battlefield, all they had to do was remember this matter firmly in their minds and pay their respects to each other.

It was not until Scarface’s figure completely disappeared from their eyes that they returned to the noisy atmosphere from before. However, what they were talking about now was more about the hero’s achievements.

After Scarface left everyone’s line of sight and arrived at a hidden corner, he slowly removed a corner of his helmet.

There seemed to be a flash of light under the helmet, but it disappeared in the blink of an eye, like a phantom.

However, Scarface did not completely remove the helmet. Instead, he maintained a corner of the helmet as if he was taking a breather.

After a while, he sealed the helmet again and returned to his silent state.

Those who knew him knew that he had not been so quiet in the past, but now, he was in such a state as a side effect of the battlefield.

In theory, they could adjust this psychological problem by controlling the secretion of hormones in the body, but Scarface did not do so. This was also regarded by those who knew him as a symbol of his unwillingness to forget this memory.

However, no one seemed to realize that his strange situation seemed to be very similar to the most common state displayed by a civilization in a galaxy.

The civilization also gradually broke away from its silent state, as if it was about to participate in the storm.

Their spaceship began to advance in a large number in a certain direction, and that direction was where the Hunter civilization had been staying.

The Exterminators in the entire galaxy, once or now, seemed to be about to become the center of the storm under the triggering of something..
