Global Era of Star Trekking Chapter 772

Chapter 772: Chapter 408: Heavenly Star Floating Island Chapter 772: Chapter 408: Heavenly Star Floating Island “””
The Red River Star Domain, a small star domain neighboring the Chaotic Star Field, is technically part of the Chaotic Star Field itself. However, this star domain has been under the Heavenly Star Tribe's domain for thousands of years.

As for the Heavenly Star Tribe, it is a typical intermediate civilization group in the Starry Sea, with nearly double-digit Fifth Rank units. Among intermediate civilization groups, it is considered moderately ranked.

*Is the Song Family unable to annihilate such a group in one fell swoop?*
Of course not, especially now that Song Wujiang has officially entered the ranks of Fearless Captains. The Song Family is now fully capable of destroying the Heavenly Star Tribe and integrating the entire Red River Star Domain into Dinghai.

The reason they haven't done so is simple: the Heavenly Star Tribe is not just the Heavenly Star Tribe. Behind it stands the entirety of the Chaotic Star Field and the Robber Star Civilization. If the Song Family were to annex the entire Red River Star Domain, it would inevitably draw the Robber Star Civilization's attention to themselves. For a family that has only barely entered the Sixth Rank, this is clearly an undesirable outcome.

But now things are different. With the Yaohan Kingdom officially launching a full-scale war against the Robber Star Civilization, the Robber Star Civilization is struggling to handle its own crises. *This presents the Song Family with a golden opportunity to bare their fangs.* If they can seize enough gains in the upcoming expansion wars, the family's foundation will soar rapidly in the coming centuries or even millennia. This is the Song Family's chance.

Dinghai Star Domain, northern region, Thorny Star Region.

Assisted by a large short-range Teleportation Star Gate, over two million starships belonging to the Duchy's North Fleet successively arrived at this location. This area serves as the boundary between the Dinghai Star Domain and the Red River Star Domain, as well as the launching point for the subsequent expedition of the Duchy's North Fleet.

At the battlefield marking the boundary between the Dinghai and Red River Star Domains, one could see–on the opposite side of the battleground–a fleet group consisting of hundreds of thousands, assembled by the Heavenly Star Tribe. Clearly, they were already well aware of the Yaohan Kingdom's expansion campaign.

However, this resistance is destined to be futile. Faced with the Song Family Prime Ancestor's Fearless Ship and supported by over two million warships, the Heavenly Star Tribe was essentially incapable of opposing Dinghai Star Domain's United Fleet.

BOOM… BOOM… BOOM!

Amid the thunderous roar of warships' cannon fire, it took less than a day for the Heavenly Star Tribe's fleet to collapse entirely. The Dinghai United Fleet, thereafter, followed the pursuit deep into the Red River Star Domain.

At the forefront of the Tenth Direct Vein Fleet were Song Mingsong, Song Chi, and the four brothers of the Shan Hai and Morning-Sun Lineage, rapidly discussing within their dedicated communication group.

“Here's the situation: if we act alongside several Fifth Rank Elders of the family, then it'll count as part of the family's united operation, and afterward, forty percent of all gains must be handed over to the family. However, if we act solely as the Direct Vein, we only need to contribute ten percent.”

After Uncle Song Shan finished speaking, the communication group fell into a brief silence.

*These two methods have been adhered to by the Song Family for centuries, even millennia. There's nothing worth debating; what needs to be decided now is which option to choose.*
To act alongside the family elders naturally offers more security–but the resulting spoils must be halved.

On the other hand, choosing their own targets and taking action independently carries much greater risk–yet the rewards are correspondingly richer.

*Song Chi promptly spoke up with his opinion before the elders could chime in.*
“Let's act alone. With our current strength, taking down a few Level 3 Floating Lands should be no problem for us!”

In fact, Song Chi wanted to suggest targeting Level 4 Floating Lands, but the reality is that the Red River Star Domain itself isn't very large; the entire domain only contains one Level 5 Floating Land and two Level 4 Floating Lands.

The Level 5 Floating Land is, of course, being handled by the Prime Ancestor. As for the two Level 4 Floating Lands, one is a resource-type Floating Land, whose resources have long been divided among various fleet forces. The other Level 4 life-type Floating Land has been allocated to the Alpha Family and Wu Family, leaving no opportunity for outsiders.

Still, this is fine. While Song Chi personally wasn't deterred by targeting a Level 4 Floating Land, the clan members in his vein were not as capable. By comparison, Level 3 Floating Lands were much simpler.

No objections came from Song Mingsong and the group members toward Song Chi's decision. Subsequently, they pulled out the detailed Star Chart of the Red River Star Domain provided by the family. After identifying one Level 3 Floating Land named “Goat,” the Tenth Direct Vein Fleet set course without hesitation.

Of course, only a few Torch Warships set out for Goat Floating Land; the regular starships were left behind.

The Goat Floating Land is over 200 light-years away from the Thorny Star Region. If the regular starships were to travel there, it's likely they wouldn't arrive before the entire expansion war concludes.

As for building a Star Gate, that requires time–it's not feasible as quickly.

The Goat Floating Land, as a Level 3 life-type Floating Land located in the Red River Star Domain, is home to over 10 billion Heavenly Star Tribe members. Plus, the Floating Land Shield surrounding it ensures that even ordinary Fourth Rank units cannot significantly threaten this Floating Land in a short period of time.

However, this time it faced the Song Family Tenth Direct Vein Fleet, equipped with the Heavenly Ruins Cang Qiong.

As with their approach to the Thunder Boulder Floating Land previously, the result was predictable and didn't require further elaboration. The Level 3 Floating Land Shield was effortlessly torn apart by the Sky-breaking Spike. From point to surface, even without deploying the Flame Giant, the Goat Floating Land's shield utterly crumbled under the barrage of thousands of Torch Warships' firepower.

“Alright, Little Chi, head over to the Heavenly Star Floating Land now. The Furious Battle Mad Lion should suffice here.”

After the Goat Floating Land's shield was breached, Grandfather Song Mingsong immediately spoke up.
