Of course, the arrival time of the fleet is faster than that of the merchant fleet.
It will take more than a month for the merchant fleet to arrive here, but Li Xin has already docked his fleet at the star port of the star base.
Li Xin didn't have to wait too long on the day the merchant arrived.
As the information flashed with a wave of the subspace barrier being opened, the merchant fleet also appeared in the Walker system.
On the merchant fleet side.
On a large ship, this is the flagship of this merchant fleet.
This ship is very large and is a cruiser-class ship, but it is very old and cannot even be considered a third-generation ship. It can only be considered a second-and-a-half-generation cruiser.
Moreover, this ship has been in service for a long time and is a ship that was laid off and re-employed.
After being sold to traveling merchants, some of the military equipment, such as large energy weapons, were apparently removed.
Therefore, the combat effectiveness of this ship is much worse than that of an ordinary cruiser.
The ship was extremely old, and many of the armor pieces on it were made of different materials and casting techniques than the previous ones.
Obviously, this ship suffered a lot in the hands of merchants.
This is the fleet of the Parker Interstellar Trading Company.
On the flagship, the alien race was in chaos.
There are all kinds of sounds in the command center now, screams, hisses, and even roars from all races.
The chaotic voices in the communication channel further demonstrated their current restlessness.
“That’s enough!!”
"What are you making such a fuss about!"
Following a rebuke from the psychic, the bridge instantly fell silent.
At a glance, there are at least more than twenty races in the bridge, but these races have lived together for many years and have a common language that everyone can understand.
If you really don't understand, there are translators, or at worst you can use psychic power to translate.
The scolding voice just now came from the captain, Matt, who is also the president of this merchant fleet.
This is an alien race. Its head is like an octopus with seven eyes. Its body is tall, at least four meters.
Matt asked, "What's going on now?"
Immediately, a subordinate came over to report: "Something's wrong with the president!!"
“Bang!”
A tentacle lashed out at the subordinate's head, and the suction cup pulled the guy up.
Matt said coldly: "I'm not okay?"
"Think it through first!"
The subordinate was dizzy from the beating, but he still managed to gather himself and said, "President, it seems that something is wrong with the Walker guardian in the original records."
"Now there's another type of ship we haven't seen before, occupying their starports and star bases!"
As he was speaking, one of his men reported what the remote equipment had observed to the command center on the bridge.
This is the current situation of the star base. The star base here has expanded a lot compared to before.
Moreover, there were more than a hundred warships of a type never seen before docked in the star port.
Matt watched the scene, taking it in carefully, and then he said, "It seems our luck isn't that bad."
"This shouldn't be a gang of space pirates."
One of the subordinates asked, confused, "President, how did you know that?"
Matt laughed and said, "The Star Pirates wouldn't think of developing civilization, nor would they dare to continue expanding their star base in a place like this."
"Apparently, our old friend the Walker Guardian has encountered some minor problems. Now, the Walker Guardian may have become a conquered slave."
A subordinate asked, "Are we still going?"
Matt waved his tentacles in the direction of the star base and said, "Let's go and take a look."
"There's nothing the Parker Caravan can't sell! There's nothing the Parker Caravan can't sell!"
"The unlucky ones are the Walker Guardians, not our Parker Caravan. Any civilized people would not attack a merchant fleet!"
Following Matt's order, the fleet, which numbered hundreds, officially headed towards the direction of the star base.
As they moved forward, Matt looked at the star base with increasing surprise.
He said admiringly, "This civilization looks much more difficult to deal with than the Walker Guardians."
"They actually expanded the Walker Guardian's star base, which hadn't changed in hundreds of years, by this much."
Then Matt looked at the ships docked in the starport and said, "This is a ship I've never seen before."
As Matt was observing, the human ships in the star base slowly left the star port, with their bows aimed at the merchant fleet.
Matt's tentacles stiffened a little as he watched this scene, and he said, "Oh! Damn it!"
"Don't be a barbaric civilization!"
Then, Matt yelled to the other crew members in the command center: "Idiots, stop the ship immediately!"
"Send me an envoy to contact the commander of this fleet. We are noble merchants!"
"Tell them not to get excited and not to open fire!"
Soon, after sailing for a distance, the fleet stopped.
A small, high-speed shuttle detached from the fleet and headed towards the location of the star base.
The merchant fleet remained where it was, out of range of the star base and the human fleet.
This small shuttle does not carry any weapons, and it is constantly releasing various electromagnetic signals during the flight.
There's even a section that shows a signal that allows communication with Walker's guardians.
Obviously, these merchants believed that since this unknown fleet was able to conquer the Walker Guardians, then using the Walker Guardians' communication system to make initial contact without either side knowing the other would be the fastest way to break the ice.
The shuttle kept playing the song in a loop: "A powerful unknown civilization!"
"We are the Parker Interstellar Chamber of Commerce!"
"We are a chamber of commerce that loves civilization, loves communication, sells goods cheaply and buys them at high prices!"
"Please don't act drastically towards us. We are here for a deal!"
Of course, all of this appears before humans after being translated.
Li Xin looked at the fleet of the Parker Chamber of Commerce in the distance. Although this fleet had hundreds of ships, judging from the appearance, there were not many armed ships, only about thirty or so.
The largest one is the flagship, but it looks quite old. The other armed ships are mostly destroyers and frigates.
Of course, the most numerous are larger transport ships. These transport ships have also been modified and have some weapons, but their combat effectiveness remains a mystery.
