Chapter 200: What We Saw on the Troll Planet
"The trolls were in tribal form before, but after they were incorporated into the Star Empire, they erased the title of chieftain to show respect to the emperor."
"Can you tell me something that can't be found on the interstellar network?" Li Yu was not interested in the nonsense the hunter said. Most of the information about the Troll Star can be found on the interstellar network.
Some can also be found on the black hole network. For example, the trolls use the number of bloodline attributes to determine whether they are powerful.
Similar to the Blazing Eyes, foreign gene chains can easily be rejected by the Trolls, leading to genetic mutations, unless the gene chain is particularly suitable.
In fact, the stronger the natural strength of a race, the more difficult it is to integrate foreign gene chains because their own genes are too powerful.
"Although they have lost the title of chieftain in name, the leader of the troll army is basically equivalent to the chieftain." The hunter thought for a moment and said, "The strength of the troll army should not be underestimated. They are very famous."
"What is the strength of that leader?" Li Yu asked casually.
"A four-blood troll with a record of tearing apart an A-level life force alive. He is the strongest troll of the troll tribe in the past five thousand years."
Li Yu paused, expressionless: “Little noise, reposition, and leave here.”
Are you kidding? Tearing apart an A-level life form alive, that would require a level of combat power. Li Yu was not impulsive enough to face an opponent of that level.
Tu Ruidingtian just helped him to gather some information. If there was no danger, Li Yu wouldn't mind taking a trip since he had nothing else to do.
But if facing an enemy of that level, he wouldn't want to take such a big risk.
"The troll army is guarding the boundless border. Without special circumstances, they will not come back easily. Don't worry." The hunter explained.
"Are you sure?" Li Yu was still a little skeptical.
The hunter sighed. "Unless he wants to die, he cannot leave the garrison. The Empire has extremely harsh punishments for those who violate orders."
Li Yu was slightly relieved, and at the same time he thought, "Which troll is the four-blood troll?"
Tu Rui said that the Great Elder seemed to want to use his son to create a five-blood troll. The four-blood troll was already so powerful, so how could a five-blood troll be that powerful?
"The genetic makeup of the trolls is very special..." Peyton interrupted, "The Empire once conducted research for a period of time and tried to clone four-blood trolls at great expense, but they all failed without exception."
"Failed?" Li Yu was a little surprised. Although the perception of the Star Empire was not very good, as a large empire of this level, its technology must have developed to a very strong level.
How could cloning fail?
Payton was also a little uncertain: "The troll seems to be one of the Titans' creations. Its composition is extremely complex. The Empire can only give up."
"Titan creation?" Li Yu felt that Payton's mouth was like a dimensional pocket, and some special nouns would pop out from time to time.
As expected, no one discusses this term on the interstellar network or the black hole network. It should be a high-level secret.
As for Payton, he didn't care at all about what would happen if the secret was leaked. Li Yu agreed with this point and answered whatever was asked and never gave anyone riddles.
"Titan creations are a race of life created by the Titans. Without exception, they all have very high racial potential, and the trolls are one of them." Payton said in a flat tone, as if he was explaining an ant nest on the side of the road.
"Are there many Titan creations?" Li Yu was a little curious.
Peyton shook his head and said, "I don't know the exact number, but looking at the entire universe, it shouldn't be that many."
"How did the Titans, who were so powerful, disappear?" Just hearing about this civilization a few times proves how powerful it was.
But even such a powerful civilization disappeared in the universe.
When Payton heard this question, a rare look of hesitation appeared on his face. Not only did he not know how to answer, he didn't even know how to start the question.
He tried to organize his words several times, but gave up every time . In the end, he just shook his head.
Li Yu just asked a few questions casually, after all, the Titan civilization was too far away from him.
The overall strength of the Troll Star is not high. There are less than ten B-level life forms staying on the planet all year round. Most of them are in the Troll Legion, and some are wandering in other places.
But this is also an astonishing number, enough to illustrate the power of the troll race.
Through the porthole, the Troll Planet gradually enlarged. Although it was a planet with life, its surface was gray-black, and rocky terrain covered most of the planet.
There are several areas that are particularly prominent, including the red land spewing magma, the icy desert covered by a large area of white snowstorms, and the dark cloud zone where thunder and lightning rage all the time.
Only a small number of places are suitable for living, and the conditions can be said to be extremely harsh.
There are no precious large-scale minerals on the entire planet, and there are no valuable planets in the entire galaxy. It can be said to be a barren galaxy.
Therefore, even the home planet of the famous Troll Legion in the Star Empire has not developed into a prosperous commercial city.
He was not in a hurry to land, but instead asked Little Chaos to patrol in the deep space orbit, marking several places where there were a large number of stone houses.
The hunter asked, "How are you going to get there? According to what you said, Tu Rui's son must be under strict guard. If we're not careful, it could turn into a large-scale battle."
"That's right..." Li Yu nodded: "However, even the tribe's chief elders would not dare to do such a thing as transplanting a child's heart openly."
"It shouldn't be as difficult as you imagine. If there is any danger, I will stop the action."
“Ding ding ding—”
The radar scan of the Incandescent Light detected an unknown spaceship approaching the Troll Star. After the image was zoomed in, it was found to be an official transport ship of the Star Empire, about a kilometer long, with chain logos on both sides, and there were two frigates escorting it nearby.
The Incandescent entered stealth mode and was not discovered by the enemy.
"It's a Cage series transport ship, and it should be carrying prisoners." The hunter recognized it and guessed.
"Prisoners?" Li Yu was a little confused: "Why are prisoners transported to the Troll Planet? Is this a prison planet?"
"It should be the prisoners' compulsory labor..." The hunter explained: "They were sent to the Troll Planet as slaves."
Since the laws of the Star Empire have been revised several times, there are very few crimes that can be sentenced to death, and most of them are punishable by imprisonment for dozens or even hundreds of years.
These are the financial expenditures of the Star Empire. After a long time, this expenditure became larger and larger, and the empire became somewhat unhappy.
You bastards, not only do you not do any work, but you also have to be supported by me.
If one less prison star is maintained, one more battleship can be built. This account is increasingly making the empire unhappy, so compulsory labor came into being.
Some people also jokingly call them "compulsory slaves", which means that a large number of prisoners are used to replace the funds originally allocated by the Star Empire to various colonized planets.
"The Empire is really smart." Li Yu shook his head, staring at the transport ship, and gradually an idea came to his mind.
The Incandescent followed the other ship from a distance, falling into the atmosphere at an extremely slow speed to avoid causing friction fire arcs and attracting the other ship's attention.
The ground gradually became clear. This was a huge city built of stones. Time had not left obvious traces on the stones, but it had precipitated an ancient charm.
Trolls wearing animal skins came and went. Some of them were carrying huge beasts on their backs and had maces on their waists. It seemed that they had just returned from hunting.
There were some other races as well, but they all looked haggard, ragged, and had chains on their bodies.
The other end was held in the hands of the trolls, who would pull it violently from time to time. The rattling sound of the chains made the slaves stumble several steps, drawing laughter and envy from the nearby trolls.
The troll with slaves in his hands seemed to be of a higher status. He walked with his head held high, looking very proud.
Boom!
A roar came from the sky, attracting the attention of a large number of trolls. They all looked somewhat excited, panting and roaring to the sky.
Every time something like this arrives, it means they have new toys to use.
Transport ship - In the captain's room, the holographic screen showed the excited trolls below, and several transport officers had looks of contempt on their faces.
"Look at these barbaric races. They are so excited over just a few slaves." One of them sneered.
"Haha, it is precisely because they are barbaric that we can dominate them and send them away with just a few slaves."
"I remember that the number of trolls is decreasing year by year. The birth rate is already much lower than the death rate."
"In a few years, we may not see this race anymore."
"You can't say that. They are loyal 'warriors' of the empire, haha..."
Several people burst into laughter, their arrogance and contempt clearly revealed.
The spaceship gradually docked outside the giant city, which was the largest gathering place for trolls on the Troll Star. The Great Elder had already received the news, and the hover chair slowly flew out of the city .
Wherever he passed, all the trolls made way for him and looked at the great elder with respect and fear.
Buzz——
The cabin opened, a metal staircase popped out, and several transport officers came out with serious faces. They first saluted the great elder to show their respect.
The elder had a gloomy look on his face, with grooves on his face that could hold a dead hexagonal fly. He just nodded and said indifferently, using the suspended chair to translate: "How many are there this time?"
Several transport officers were not dissatisfied with the Great Elder's response. The leader said, "A total of 3,800 people."
"Three thousand eight hundred?" The Great Elder frowned slightly: "Why is the number decreasing again?"
"Your Excellency the Elder, racial rights organizations have been very active recently, and it is not convenient for the Empire to send people over with great fanfare." The transport officer explained with a wry smile.
The Great Elder frowned slightly, and his throat seemed to be rubbed with stones. His voice was hoarse and harsh: "These organizations should all die. I don't know why the Empire allowed these organizations to do so..."
Several transport officers looked at each other, their mouths twitched, trying not to laugh.
If those organizations heard this, the trolls would be in trouble, but these barbaric guys probably don't care.
"Get ready for the handover..." The Great Elder Yin Jiu swept his eyes over several people, seemed to have seen something, and his tone became even more sinister.
A large number of criminals in shackles were escorted down. They were of all races, all males. Female criminals were far more valuable than male criminals.
Most of the criminals were still a little confused, and then they saw the trolls around them rubbing their hands, eager to try.
The huge size, ferocious muscles, and cruel smile brought an unparalleled sense of oppression.
"Troll, it's a troll!?" Someone couldn't help but shout, his face full of fear.
"I want to leave here, let me leave now!"
Troll is a name like a nightmare among criminals, and most of the criminals who were sent to Troll Star for "compulsory labor" died.
Those who didn't die were either crazy or stupid, and some creatures even had constipation that had troubled them for years cured.
Not only do they enjoy torturing criminals, they even make them fight each other to the death, with various ways of playing emerging one after another.
It is hard for many criminals to imagine that the Star Empire actually has such a barbaric colonized planet.
"Where is the special criminal I want?" The Great Elder looked around and frowned.
"Still behind..." Several transport officers laughed obscenely. They didn't expect that this old man was so thoughtful even at his old age.
Ten cages were pushed out, covered tightly with black cloth, and no one knew what was inside.
The Great Elder floated over gently and lifted a corner of the black cloth. His panicked eyes and smooth, white skin came into view. He nodded, and his expression finally relaxed a lot.
"Nok, take them away and send them to the homes of several elders, two each. Remember that." He instructed the middle-aged troll beside him.
Compared to the extremely excited trolls gathered around, Nok seemed much calmer. He nodded, took a few people with him, and left the cage.
"Quiet!" The Great Elder's voice was transmitted far away through the suspended chair. The originally noisy trolls gradually quieted down and looked at the Great Elder.
"Trolls with a combat power ranking of 3,800 or above in the tribe can take a slave. If they don't want to take one, they can take another one based on their ranking."
It was a very simple rule, but very useful. Immediately, many trolls took out crudely made stone pieces from their waists and arms.
There are numbers like "1725" and "2369" engraved on it in the Troll language, which should be the so-called ranking.
Even though they had seen it several times, the transport officials were still somewhat puzzled by this ranking method that had almost no anti-counterfeiting methods.
According to their understanding, the way to compete for ranking is very simple, just grab this stone piece. Whoever grabs it will get the corresponding ranking.
These trolls don't seem to have thought of faking this method. Only what they snatch with their fists belongs to them.
There were even quite a few trolls who tried to snatch the stone flakes immediately, which led to several battles. The winners were cheered, while the losers left in disgrace.
In the past, losers paid the price with their lives, but now the trolls can no longer waste the lives of their people at will.
It didn't take long for the trolls to leave with their favorite toys. There were still many criminals left here, and not all the top-ranked trolls were here.
The rest were guarded by people sent by the Great Elder, waiting for people to come and collect them. The transportation officers did not want to stay in such a remote place for too long, so they said goodbye and left.
The spaceship roared and rose up. Li Yu witnessed it all from a distance with a strange look on his face.
