The Black Stone Barony itself is also a big vortex.
Baron Wang Lei has been seriously ill and unable to serve as a director for several years.
Currently, many of the political affairs in the Barony are assisted by the Baroness and the vassals of the Barony.
Because there is no direct heir, the Baroness hopes to adopt a son from her mother's family to inherit the Barony.
At the same time, Baron Wang Lei himself comes from a family of a court noble in the Bauhinia Kingdom. In his family in the capital star system, he has brothers, sisters and many nephews.
Some vassals from the family support choosing one of the younger generations of the family to inherit the Barony.
Finally, there is another person who is also an illegitimate child like Wang Dong, who is the accidental product of Baron Wang Lei's affair ten years ago.
Although he is only ten years old, he was born into a local force in the Barony and won some support.
In other words, once Wang Dong accepts his background and steps into the Barony, it means that he has officially joined the battle for the heir of the Black Stone Barony.
On the surface, the opponents he has to face include the Baroness, the younger generation of the Baron's family, and another illegitimate child.
In addition to opponents from the family, Wang Dong also has enemies from the local noble factions around the Black Stone Barony.
One of the main contradictions within the Bauhinia Kingdom is the conflict between local nobles and royal power.
The king hopes to take back the direct jurisdiction of the local area and realize the centralization of the kingdom. This infringes on the fundamental interests of local nobles.
The Black Stone Barony is a direct noble appointed by His Majesty the King, and belongs to the royal faction with a good family background.
The Highland Viscountcy is a lower noble subordinate to the Tianfang Earldom, and the Tianfang Earldom is a lower noble subordinate to the Northern Grand Dukedom. They are all hardcore local noble factions. The direct beneficiaries of the Black Stone Barony's removal of the title will be the neighboring local nobles such as the Highland Viscountcy.
Therefore, in addition to competitors, Wang Dong also has to face the hostility from nearby local noble factions.
Just like before Wang Dong was reborn, the process of receiving people in the Barony was not smooth sailing.
There was a pirate group blocking them in front, and an unknown fire warship raiding in the back.
The fleet sent by the Baron was almost wiped out, and Wang Dong himself almost died.
In the end, he was forced to use the Tomahawk as a mysterious reinforcement to release a large number of space mines to create chaos and help Wang Dong and others escape.
The leader of the team was Baron Blackstone's confidant, a direct knight Chen Shayi, and one of Wang Dong's potential supporters.
During the attack, in order to cover Wang Dong's escape, the knight Chen Shayi's ship was sunk and he died in battle.
It was a big blow to the Blackstone Baron, It was also a serious loss to Baron Wang Lei and Wang Dong.
At that time, Wang Dong, because of his identity exposed in the eyes of the Jin family and the Tianfang Earldom, could not stay in the Blackstone Barondom for long.
After rebirth, Wang Dong, who regarded the Blackstone Barondom as an important stepping stone, would certainly not allow this to happen again. In the past few days, the Pond began to expand the alert distance and cruised silently near the mining area star field.
With the help of the purple-quality Explorer Sky Survey Radar, Wang Dong made a discovery this morning.
An unidentified Fire Warship arrived in the mining star field and also chose an asteroid with complex terrain to hide.
If the Pond had not been on alert all the time, it would have been difficult to find it.
There was no noble emblem painted on this fire warship, at least it did not belong to a noble force on the surface.
But Wang Dong was able to determine from its appearance that this warship was the fire warship that suddenly came out from behind when the Baron's fleet was fighting with the Star Pirates in his previous life. It directly sank the Knight-class warship of the Baron's territory, causing the fleet's complete defeat and almost causing Wang Dong's death.
At this time, Wang Dong was remotely commanding the Pond to quietly stare at the fire warship that was also hiding in the asteroid belt through the quantum entanglement brainwave manipulation system. After confirming that the other party had chosen a hiding place and would not change in a short time, the Pond left a few detectors for monitoring and then headed straight for the mining planet.
A few hours later, the Pond quietly landed.
In the hidden state of the Mirage system, the Pond easily avoided all the monitoring equipment on the mining planet and reached directly above Wang Dong's residence.
Under the traction of the magnetic beam, Wang Dong also enjoyed the blessing brought by the hidden state, and boarded the Pond without alarming anyone.
This time, he wanted to strike first, rather than being forced to respond hastily after the incident.
Coincidentally, with a hangover, Wang Dong could stay at home for a whole day without showing up.
As for the unknown fire warship hidden in the asteroid belt, Wang Dong didn't think about doing it himself.
If it was in other airspaces, Wang Dong might have to use the Mirage system to launch a surprise attack on the unknown warship in a stealth manner.
Otherwise, if it was a head-on battle, within the range of the Mie particles, the mode of manual control for artillery battles would have to be used, which would be extremely disadvantageous for the Pond without any crew members.
However, this unknown warship chose the asteroid belt as its hiding place.
This made Wang Dong have the urge to laugh his lungs out.
Before rebirth, because the quality of the sky survey radar on the Pond was too low, neither the detection range nor the detection accuracy supported him to discover the unknown warship.
After rebirth, Wang Dong, who was highly alert, combined with the purple-quality Explorer Sky Survey Radar, made it impossible for the unknown warship to escape.
Since they had arrived at the asteroid belt, Wang Dong, who was familiar with the situation inside, had an advantage in terms of geographical location.
In addition, the enemy was in the dark, so Wang Dong also had the upper hand in terms of time. Finally, in terms of people, Wang Dong, who was experienced after rebirth, was not inferior to his opponent at all.
This time, Wang Dong decided to use the special airspace conditions of the asteroid belt to bury his opponent.
Returning to the asteroid belt, Wang Dong could find from the detector left behind that the unknown fire warship was still in place.
Under the effect of the Mirage system, the Pond completely disappeared from the sight of the unknown fire warship.
Surrounding the hiding place of the unknown fire warship, Wang Dong manipulated the Pond and carefully released a large number of fixed-fire space mines.
These space mines were carefully fixed on meteorites or asteroids one by one, and would not fall off easily.
This type of fixed-fire space mine has no power and can only be triggered or detonated remotely, but because of this, it has considerable concealment capabilities.
Coupled with the complex airspace conditions in the asteroid belt, the sky survey radar of the unknown fire warship failed to detect the increasing number of air mines that were gradually surrounding the asteroid it was hiding in!
