The Final Choice
"Lord Pierce, perhaps we still have a chance," Mo Tuotuo said unwillingly. "We can feign surrender under the pretext of running out of fuel, and then launch a devastating attack when the human warships get close. They only have that flagship left here. As long as we destroy it, victory will still be ours."
"A feigned surrender." Pierce sighed with a bitter face, "Mo Tuotuo, you must understand that wars between civilizations are different from internal wars. Whether humanity will accept the surrender is another matter. Moreover, once the feigned surrender is exposed, we will face humanity's crazy retaliation. At that time, our people will not even be deprived of the chance to survive, and our Kun-Tai Civilization and our Kuntai People will truly disappear from the universe."
"But."
"No buts. Remove the Acceleration Buffer Fluid, move the warship behind the asteroid, and then send a signal to Human Civilization." Pierce's tone was full of helplessness.
Of the fifty-two warships, only seven remain after just three days, while the humanoid flagship remains invincible.
During this time, Pierce saw the flagship hit by energy beam weapons more than once, but the only effect was that the ship's hull would get slightly hot.
It could be said that with each hit on that flagship, Pierce's despair increased.
Pierce found it ridiculous; she should be happy to have hit the enemy, but instead she felt despair. She simply couldn't understand why, as Tier 1 Civilization, the armor on human warships was so ridiculously superior.
She lamented in her heart more than once: If only we had Positron Cannon.
Yes, positrons are the Antimatter of electrons. No matter how strong the armor is, as long as it is within the range of normal matter, it must have outer electrons. Where there are electrons, there will inevitably be an annihilation reaction with positrons.
Therefore, if the Kun-Tai Civilization had possessed Positron Cannon, even with its formidable armor, it would have been destroyed after being hit so many times. However, there are no "ifs" in this world; the Kun-Tai Civilization simply did not possess Positron Cannon.
The remaining Kun-Tai Civilization warships, following Pierce's instructions, each sought out asteroids for concealment. At the same time, a communication message was transmitted to the Lyra.
Human Civilization and the Kun-Tai Civilization had communicated for a long time, so the information was easily translated and presented to Yue Yuan.
Yue Yuan took a moment to glance at the general meaning of the message.
It roughly means that the Kun-Tai Civilization is willing to surrender, but please do not kill the remaining Kuntai People residents.
To be honest, Yue Yuan really didn't expect the Kun-Tai Civilization to surrender at this time, so he was obviously stunned when he saw the message.
But that's all.
In fact, Yue Yuan did not intend to kill all the Kuntai People, because he believed that although the Kun-Tai Civilization was an evil alien civilization, their scientists were still useful.
However, he did not reply to the message because the Kun-Tai Civilization fleet still had seven warships, and surrendering at this time would seem fake.
Therefore, after receiving the information, the Lyra continued its operations as planned, and engaged in combat where necessary.
Just then, a report rang out in the Lyra's internal channel, "Commander Yue, those warships from the Kun-Tai Civilization have hidden behind the asteroid!"
"Oh?"
Yue Yuan raised his eyelids and looked at the screen in front of him. Sure enough, he saw the remaining seven warships of the Kun-Tai Civilization adjusting their posture and heading towards the asteroid that was closer to them.
"What are you standing there for? Beat them up!"
Yue Yuan's first thought was that this was the best time to judge the enemy ships' course, and if he didn't take the opportunity to fire a few shots, he would really be letting down his comrades who died in the war.
At his shout, the Lyra fired a Positron Cannon, which hit its target and destroyed another warship.
Then, the Lyra fired several more shots at other warships, but the Kun-Tai Civilization had taken various maneuvers in advance and missed.
After the remaining six Kun-Tai Civilization warships had all taken cover behind the asteroid, the inquiry voice rang in Yue Yuan's ears again, "Commander Yue, the six enemy ships have taken cover behind the asteroid, and the main guns have lost sight of the enemy ships. Should we continue maneuvering to search for targets?"
The so-called continued maneuvering to find the target does not mean getting too close or circling around to the back of the asteroid where the enemy ship is hiding, but rather making lateral maneuvers within a certain distance. Because the so-called concealment in the Asteroid Belt does not mean that the warship is completely flush with the asteroid, but rather maneuvering to a position where the view of the target is just blocked by the asteroid. Of course, there are cases where the ship gets quite close, but these are relatively rare.
"No need. Since they want to play hide-and-seek, we'll play along." Yue Yuan raised his hand and swiped twice on the screen in front of him, then tapped a small asteroid on the star map and dragged it to a position representing the Helmsman System.
As he moved, the Lyra system automatically converted the asteroid's coordinates into numerical coordinates and transmitted them to the helmsman system, where they were received by several helmsmen.
After that, Yue Yuan continued unhurriedly, "We will also hide here and wait for them to show themselves. Also, tell the Kunlun-Class Warship fleet not to pay any attention to Kun-Tai Civilization fleet. Our combat objective remains unchanged. Our primary objective is still to destroy their fleet. We can deal with the rest after the Kun-Tai Civilization fleet is destroyed."
There was no point in discussing communications or surrendering anymore; things had come to this point. Yue Yuan didn't even want to think about it.
Anyway, as long as we destroy the Kun-Tai Civilization fleet, humanity can do whatever it wants afterward, so there's no need to argue about it now.
Dawn is just around the corner, but we are still in the dark. Humanity should not let its guard down.
Moreover, Yue Yuan felt that even if he didn't kill all the Kuntai People, he should at least wipe out the entire Kun-Tai Civilization fleet, leaving not a single one alive.
An Alien Civilization without any weapons is a benevolent Alien Civilization; any alien civilization with guns and cannons must be an evil alien civilization.
The Kun-Tai Civilization fleet is now at its last gasp, and it seems they've really run out of fuel.
Hiding is just fine. Yue Yuan doesn't mind delaying for a few more days, even better if all the remaining Kun-Tai Civilization warships are out of commission.
Most importantly, even after the Kun-Tai Civilization went into hiding, the Lyra could still detect their situation. This is because the Asteroid Belt is humanity's home turf, and many asteroids have been pre-positioned with observation stations. Additionally, while human Escort Ship not the main force in warfare and pose no threat to the Kun-Tai Civilization's warships, they can serve as the 'eyes' of the battlefield.
Aside from firing a few shots to harass the enemy, they searched everywhere for asteroids to hide from, and occasionally surfaced to observe the situation of the Kun-Tai Civilization fleet. As a result, the remaining six Kun-Tai Civilization warships could not escape human detection at all.
It's true that humans can Neutrino Communication, and it's also true that they can communicate across meteorites and planets. But that's communication, not Neutrino Detection, and it can't be used to detect enemy warships like various Electromagnetic Wave detection methods.
In other words, the neutrinos emitted by humans can be received by their own Neutrino Communicator, but they still pass directly through the hidden Kun-Tai Civilization warships, just like passing through a planet.
Therefore, we still need to use the conventional detection methods of Tier 1 Civilization for detection.
After the Lyra also hid behind the asteroid, news also came from the Kunlun-Class Warship.
As of now, the battle on the Kunlun fleet side is also coming to an end, and the remaining five Kun-Tai Civilization warships are reacting in a similar way to Yue Yuan's side.
Of the original five Mountain-Class Warships in the Kunlun-Class Warship, two were destroyed: the Mount Danxia-Class Warship and the Mount Song-Class Warship. However, the Mount Wudang-Class Warship and Mount Emei-Class Warship provided support to the Kunlun-Class Warship during the battle, so the Kunlun-Class Warship now consists of five Mountain-Class Warships.
Five against five, victory is assured.
