Survival of the Stars: Rise of the Fourth Scourge

Chapter 274 Fortress Group

Randolph's last words made Li Meng realize a problem.

After receiving the fruit wine from the maid, Li Meng asked, "My lord, is it impossible to cultivate profound strength in this world?"

Randolph shook his head and said: "It's not impossible, but the progress is very slow. In the thousands of worlds, you only need to kill monsters and level up to increase your strength. In the real world, you can only rely on meditation to increase your strength. The efficiency is extremely low. A silver-level For a teacher, it is the pinnacle to become a gold-level teacher in one's life, and in the thousands of worlds, if you are lucky enough, you can reach this height in a few years."

As a son of the rich and powerful, Randolph's only advantage is probably that he has self-knowledge.

Fear of death is a shameful thing, at least Li Meng doesn't think so.

With the status of Randolph's son, there is no need to take risks for personal strength.

After all, the thousands of civilizations in the Dark Star Region possess not only profound strength, but also technology.

The warrior mecha is only a supplement to the combat power of civilization, and the interstellar war still comes first with technology.

Having said that, Randolph put down the wine glass in his hand, got up and stood up.

"Your Excellency Li Meng, let's go to the harbor. Once we arrive at Apocalypse, the Silver Fleet will return to its station. We have to take the shuttle to the territory of the August family."

At this time, outside, the Silver White Fleet gradually approached Apocalypse and entered orbit.

Not long after, a white shuttle flew away from the fleet and entered the atmosphere under the protection of several mechs.

The flame outside the window only lasted for more than ten seconds before disappearing.

When the flames outside dissipated, what Li Meng saw was a metal world.

Large and small spaceships fly over the city like ants, shuttling between buildings.

From time to time there will be a rain of fire in the higher sky, which is the flame produced by the friction between the spacecraft entering the atmosphere and the atmosphere.

As one of the few trade centers in the Dark Star Field, Li Meng has only seen the prosperity of Apocalypse today.

"Your Excellency Li Meng, look, that is the territory of the Augustus family."

Following Randolph's gaze, Li Meng looked at the city outside the window.

There is a fortress area in the city not far away.

There are more than a dozen diamond-shaped forts, covered with silver and white flags, and covered with anti-aircraft turrets.

There is also a tall metal city wall around it, and huge turrets can be seen on the city wall, like mountains.

"The Augustus family has twelve elders and a patriarch. The fortress is the residence of the elders. The largest fortress in the middle is the residence of the patriarch. It is guarded by twelve fortresses, which also symbolizes the Augustus family supreme right."

"The ancestral motto of the Augustus family is that those with abilities are superior and not inherited by offspring. Therefore, the elders have the right to inherit the position of the family. In order to avoid civil strife in the family due to power struggles, the heirs of the elders compete for the position of the eldest son. And choose the patriarch candidate from among the sons, once the patriarch abdicates, or dies, the patriarch will choose to succeed the patriarch."

As a large interstellar family, internal power disputes are naturally indispensable.

How to reduce internal consumption and allow a smooth transition of power has become the top priority of the interstellar family.

Now that he has joined the Augustus camp, he naturally needs to understand the internal situation of the Augustus family.

Randolph told him this, of course it was not small talk.

At this time, outside, the shuttle machine slowly descended and passed over the metal city wall.

The fortress group of the Augustus family is very large, like a city within a city.

There is a large urban area between the fortresses, and bridges and roads are intertwined like spider webs.

The maglev vehicles running on the road are like an ant colony, densely packed.

On the tarmac on top of a fort in the west, the shuttle landed slowly.

As the hatch opened, Li Meng and Xiaoqing left the shuttle under the leadership of Randolph.

Outside, a group of people were already waiting on the main road outside the tarmac.

There were guards in silver uniforms, and maids in off-the-shoulder dresses.

There is also a beautiful woman wearing a silver, floor-length, strapless, tight-waisted, and hip-covering dress.

She has hip-length silver hair and a jeweled silver crown on her head.

She has an exquisite figure, protruding forward and backward, exuding a mature, elegant and noble temperament.

When she saw Randolph coming out of the shuttle, she didn't have any joy on her face, her face was expressionless, and there was no emotion in her eyes.

As for Randolph, when he saw the figure in front of the crowd, he was taken aback for a moment, and then his face showed joy.

He hurried forward, half-kneeling on the ground, and said, "Mother, I'm back."

Mother?

A trace of surprise flashed in Li Meng's eyes at Randolph's words.

This woman is Randolph's mother?

Looking down at Randolph who was half kneeling on the ground, she opened her mouth slightly, and a clever and sweet voice came out of her mouth.

"Get up!"

Randolph stood up quickly and introduced the two behind him to his mother.

"Mother, this is His Excellency Li Meng that I mentioned to you, and this one, her name is Xiaoqing, is His Excellency Li Meng's maid."

Later, Randolph introduced his mother to Li Meng.

"Your Excellency Li Meng, this is my mother, August Evely, the wife of Elder August Li Rui'an, one of the twelve elders of the August family."

Lifting his head slightly, Li Meng looked at Mrs. Evely.

Compared with humans, the individuals of the Apocalypse are larger.

The average height is about 1.9 meters, and even Mrs. Eveli, who is a woman, is half a head taller than him.

Looking at Mrs. Eveli in front of him, Li Meng murmured in his heart.

This Apocalypse family is really similar to the elves in the human fantasy novels on Earth.

They are all beautiful, with a handsome face and a pair of pointed ears.

In terms of appearance alone, it is very suitable for human aesthetics.

Seeing Li Meng looking at her, Eveli put her hands on her lower abdomen.

She lowered her head slightly, and said softly, "Hi, Your Excellency Li Meng, welcome to come."

Li Meng nodded and said, "Excuse me!"

She didn't say much, and looked at Randolph.

"Randolph, treat your distinguished guests well and make arrangements to see me later."

Randolph nodded and said, "Good mother, I will come to you in a while."

Glancing at Li Meng again, a trace of confusion flashed in her eyes, then she turned and left surrounded by a group of maids.

"Your Excellency Li Meng, let's go..."

Following Randolph, the group walked to the inside of the fort.

In the resplendent corridor, the three of them walked one after the other.

At an intersection, Randolph stopped.

"Your Excellency Li Meng, I still have something to do, so I will excuse you first. A Rong will take you to the room. If you have anything to do, A Rong can let me know. If Your Excellency Li Meng wants to go out, I will also arrange people to accompany you. This fortress In addition to the backyard, adults can also visit at will."

Speaking of this, Randolph said to the accompanying maid: "A Rong, Your Excellency Li Meng will leave it to you, please treat me well."

Ah Rong lowered her head slightly and replied, "Yes!"

There are six maids in total, all of whom followed Randolph to Qiwuxing.
