Chapter 185: Unexpected Encounter.

It had been nearly five years since the battle in Vion. ๐‘“๐˜ณโ„ฏ๐’†w๐˜ฆ๐˜ฃ๐™ฃ๐˜ฐัต๐˜ฆ๐š•.c๐—ผ๐“ถ

Four years ago, Emperor Imran of the Sierra Empire sent a message, requesting to sign a peace treaty with the Io Federation, and that they were willing to cede 10 Star Systems near the Io Federation.

Both the Angels and the Humans did not want to agree. However, after learning from Basil that there were still 2 Royal Fleets and over 4 million ships in the Sierra Empire, they finally agreed to the treaty. They might be able to take on the Sierra Empire, but the losses that they would incur would not be small.

After all, time was on the side of the Humans and Angels. In three to five years, their strength would be multiplied exponentially. By then, they could destroy the Sierra Empire while incurring minimal losses.

During these few years, the Io Federation not only replenished their 1st Queenโ€™s Guard Legion, they also established the 2nd and 3rd Queenโ€™s Guard Legions with the support of the Humans.

The three legions were composed of Quasi-Level 4 warships, totalling 900,000.

In addition to the Queenโ€™s Guard Legions, the Io Federation had also upgraded a number of ordinary fleets with Energy Shields for defense on the border nodes.

At present, there were four such fleets in total. They were stationed at the four nodes on the newest border between the Io Federation and the Sierra Empire.

It must be said that in the past four years, the Io Federation had moved very fast. Especially in the development of their warship manufacturing industry. It was worthy of the title of a veteran Level 3 Civilization.

At this moment, a fleet of ships exited the warping state and appeared in the Capital Circle of the Io Federation. f๐˜ณ๐šŽ๐‘’๐š ๐‘’๐š‹๐˜ฏo๐˜ƒeฦ–.co๐“‚

This was the Human Federationโ€™s 2nd Legion, 7th Fleet. Their mission was to escort Bella and her son to the Io Federation.

Speaking of Bella, she had been away from the Io Federation for 10 years, and now Lin Tian was already nine years old. Hence, she wanted to take the boy to the Io Federation.

Lin Zhen naturally did not refuse. He even asked Liang Xingchen to arrange a fleet of ships to escort the mother and son.

When she finally returned to the Io Federation, Bella felt very emotional. Back then, she never thought that she would stay on Earth just after one visit. She even became one with Lin Zhen.

Thinking about it, it seemed like that man had โ€˜bulliedโ€™ her because she didnโ€™t know anything. Further, she was actually fooled. Now that she had more knowledge, looking back, she really felt it was surreal.

Most importantly, she actually asked Lin Fan to teach her how to have a baby! Thinking about it now, it was really embarrassing.

Through the porthole, she saw that they were Planet Io, so Bella pulled Lin Tian and said.

โ€œThis is the place where Mommy was born!โ€

โ€œMom, why is this planet green?โ€

Lin Tian pointed at Planet Io and asked Bella.

Unlike Earth, where the oceans make up a large part of the planet, Ioโ€™s oceans were smaller, accounting for only about 20% of the planetโ€™s surface area.

A key thing to note was that as the Capital Planet of the Io Federation, Io basically had no industrial facilities on it. The environment and nature was very well protected. The whole planet was covered with dense vegetation and tropical jungles could be seen everywhere.

Together with the refraction of light and many other reasons, Io looked like it was radiating a green glow.

โ€œThis is because the environment is different, you will learn when you go to middle school!โ€

Bella said with a smile.

While the mother and son were looking at Io, an unexpected visitor arrived.

About 5 million kilometers away from the 7th Fleet, the void shrunk and a strange fleet of 1200 ships appeared.

On the bridge, Captain Scott knew very well that it was the work of Warp Engines!

However, in the whole Orionโ€™s Arm Branch, except for the Humans and Angels, along with the affiliated Civilizations, the Babawi Empire was the only other Civilization that had them.

โ€œCommander Scott, whatโ€™s going on?โ€

At this time, Bella also brought Lin Tian to the bridge and asked Scott.

โ€œFirst Lady Bella, a fleet of ships suddenly appeared not far away from us, and they came here through Warp Engines.โ€

Scott said, while observing the projected image of the fleet.

The moment Bella saw the fleet, her eyes snapped shut. She was recalling where she had an impression of this fleet. She felt like had seen it once, decades ago.

โ€œThis is a fleet of the Babawi Empire, but this is not a part of their combat fleet, but rather merchants!โ€

โ€œMerchants?โ€

Scott was a little confused. After all, Humans didnโ€™t have such a profession.

โ€œYes, these kind merchants would be the ones who run around the Orionโ€™s Arm Branch and do business with the other Civilizations!โ€

Listening to Bellaโ€™s words, Scott breathed a sigh of relief. But then he remembered something and frowned again.

Even if they were just merchants, the Human Federation couldnโ€™t expose themselves to the former. Otherwise, the news would reach the ears of the Babawi Empire.

โ€œFirst Lady Bella, we have to act low-key to the Babawi Empire as of now. Please contact Queen Alfie and pretend that we are just an ordinary Level 3 Civilization fleet!โ€

Scott said to Bella after thinking for a while.

โ€œOkay, Iโ€™ll contact Alfie and tell her the situation!โ€

Bella then picked up the communicator and contacted Alfie.

About 5 million kilometers away, on the flagship of the Babawi Empireโ€™s Interstellar Merchant fleet, Babaweiler was also observing the Human Federationโ€™s fleet. They were obviously not an Io Federation fleet.

โ€œLord Babaweiler, we have gone through the database comparison and found that this fleet is different from any Civilization we know of! There is no record of it in our database!โ€

Listening to the report of his men, Babaweiler was a bit surprised and uncertain.

Looking at the images, this fleet was very similar to the composition of the Babawi Empireโ€™s fleet. That is, a unified fleet, which was a sign of a Level 4 Civilization.

After all, having Energy Shields and Warp Engines on different types of warships would be meaningless. Only Civilizations below Level 4 would use more than one type of ships to cooperate in combat.

Was this the mysterious Level 4 Civilization that Imran mentioned? How could it be so coincidental?

โ€œRecord everything about this fleet in detail. Take turns to use all the scanning methods, and record all the data into the database.โ€

โ€œYes!โ€
