If things continued like this, the Harvesters' conventional fleet would undoubtedly be defeated.
However, several civilizations on the United Front side knew that, as a Level Six Civilization that had dominated the Milky Way Galaxy for tens of millions of years, the Harvesters' conventional fleet could not possibly consist of only this much.
No one had ever stipulated a maximum number of warships a civilization could possess. The reason Level Six Civilizations were said to have fleets on the scale of roughly a hundred billion vessels was because any greater number would be affected by a combination of factors: maintenance costs, the resources needed to sustain such a scale, manpower, the degree to which technology had spread among the civilization's individual lives, social conditions, and more.
Even in a Level Six Civilization, not every sentient life could be a scientist or engineer.
The same applied to the scale of main battleships.
Take the Divine Matrix Civilization as an example. As a Level Six Civilization that had existed for an unknown number of tens of thousands of years, if they had kept building main battleships, they would definitely have far more than they did now. Yet once their fleet reached this scale, it had basically stopped expanding.
Their population had likewise remained at a relatively stable number.
The reasons behind this lay partly in each civilization's governing model and partly in the cosmic environment in which that civilization existed.
Back then, it was not as though the Milky Way Galaxy had never seen civilizations that expanded without limit. Yet without exception, they had been slaughtered by electron warships.
The Harvesters had not expanded across the entire Milky Way Galaxy either, but their number of main battleships was definitely no fewer than a hundred billion. Yet only a little over five billion
