Chapter 1224: Through the Solvaris Star System

They had received a message from the battleship ahead from the Pleiades Star System.

They were nearing the Solvaris Star System.

Once they passed through the Solvaris Star System, the interstellar journey would no longer pose any danger.

"I’ve heard before that the aliens would exile captured humans to the Solvaris Star System. Is it far from here?"

Amalia, who had heard that they were approaching the Solvaris Star System, was curious and wanted to take a look.

However, whenever the Solvaris Star System was mentioned, they couldn’t avoid talking about the humans the aliens had captured.

General Rafiq was the most knowledgeable on the matter. "It’s very far. It won’t be easy to rescue them. However, before we left, we already discussed this with General Luhay and General Laith. The alien presence in the Erythar Star System has almost been dealt with. After we leave, the two generals will send people to investigate the Solvaris Star System. As long as they confirm that the humans are still alive, they will send a rescue mission."

Amalia nodded her head in acknowledgment but didn’t say anything further.

Her eyes remained focused on the nebula markers on the screen.

The Solvaris Star System, as described, was like a gray, elliptical disk, with swirling vortexes at its edges.

The vortexes collided with each other, and their power was enough to tear a spaceship apart with ease.

In the distance, meteorites wrapped in red flames flew by.

Some collided with the vortexes, and before they even reached the center, they were ground into powder and disappeared.

Others fell directly into a black hole, quickly disintegrating and vanishing into the universe.

Their battleships had to avoid these deadly vortexes, as well as dodge meteorites coming at them head-on.

If a meteorite hit the ship, it could cause an explosion and a chain reaction.

If the ship strayed off course and collided with a vortex, no matter how powerful the alien battleship was, it could still be torn apart.

The giant battleship from the Pleiades Star System led the way.

They had already experienced this once, and the battleship was equipped with advanced radar systems, which could simulate a safe route before the meteorites were detected.

Although the alien battleship seemed to be following their path, its movements were actually far more precise.

The radar systems on the alien battleship were more advanced than those of the Pleiades Star System.

Miralles didn’t show off how powerful their giant battleship was.

Ever since the Draconis Empire had taken over the alien battleship, he knew that their once-proud advantage had completely vanished.

At this moment, they didn’t know that the people aboard the alien battleship were desperately trying to cultivate.

Six days later, the two battleships finally passed the dangerous edge of the Solvaris Star System.

When they left the system behind, the crew in the control room finally breathed a sigh of relief.

During this period, they had been on high alert, never daring to relax.

Any ship that had been careless in the Solvaris Star System had long since been destroyed, and the disappearance and death rates of opportunists traveling between a few star systems proved the danger of that place.

A day later, they entered the Erebos Star System.

The Erebos Star System was adjacent to the Pleiades Star System.

Once they passed through this system, they would reach the Pleiades Star System.

At this point, it had been 22 days since they departed from the Erythar Star System.

"Up ahead is a resupply planet. We need to replenish the energy required for the battleships. After this, we’ll need to make at least two more space jumps, so it’s best to refuel here."

Miralles informed the alien battleship behind them.

"You go ahead and refuel. We don’t need to," Officer Khan replied.

Miralles’s eyes flickered.

No matter how advanced the alien battleship was, the energy required for space jumps was still substantial.

They had already made four space jumps.

Even if the battleship’s energy reserves were quite ample, there wouldn’t be much left.

Even if the remaining energy was enough for two more jumps, they would still need to refuel when they reached the Pleiades Star System.

The energy in the Pleiades Star System wasn’t as cheap as the resupply planet’s.

Since they didn’t want to, Miralles didn’t push them.

If they wanted to spend more resources buying energy, that was their choice.

With Amalia’s mobile energy storage, the energy consumed could be replenished instantly with just a finger, without spending any money.

The energy on the resupply planet was cheaper than that in the Pleiades Star System, but it was still quite expensive, especially for unfamiliar battleships.

To avoid being taken advantage of, they had brought aboard several people who regularly traveled this route.

They were the ones who knew the ins and outs of the system.

The resupply planet was originally called Planet Thanacron, and its operators were the ruling class of the Erebos Star System.

There are no permanent enemies in the world.

As long as there is interest, cooperation is always possible.

This was exactly the relationship between Miralles’s giant battleship and the rulers of Planet Thanacron, which was why they could get a great discount when refueling here.

Ordinary ships had no fixed prices for refueling on this planet.

Sometimes, the cost would even be arbitrarily raised.

Over time, some captains got smarter.

They either chose a longer route or refueled at another supply station first.

That way, when Planet Thanacron tried to raise prices unfairly, they at least had some bargaining power.

Gradually, Planet Thanacron stopped overcharging ships that regularly passed through.

However, for new faces, they couldn’t help but revert to their old tricks.

Because of this, they decided not to refuel here.

A massive space battleship hovering over a planet was an eye-catching sight.

After Miralles landed to refuel the battleship, the station master of Planet Thanacron even asked why the other battleship didn’t come down for refueling.
