Bloodless Victory
Three hours passed quickly.
With no other options, the Kun-Tai Civilization had no choice but to comply with the humans' demands, turning the sterns of all its warships towards the human warships and transferring all its personnel to their Residential Spaceship.
Meanwhile, the seven human Mountain-Class Warship slowly approached.
"Commander Yue, should we attack now?" A voice asked in the channel of the Lyra.
"No rush, let's greet Kun-Tai Civilization first!" Yue Yuan replied.
The Kun-Tai Civilization's warships had already entered the range of the human main guns, and the human main guns had completed their aiming and correction. With just one command, seven warships would be hit by the Positron Cannon.
However, to show his sincerity, Yue Yuan still planned to give the Kun-Tai Civilization a heads-up first.
The information is very simple, just a few words.
Regardless of whether the Kun-Tai Civilization responded, seven powerful beams of positrons erupted from the main cannons of the seven Mountain-Class Warship after the notification was sent. These seven faint beams of light traveled 16 light-seconds before accurately striking the engines at the stern of the Kun-Tai Civilization's warships.
The Electron-Positron Annihilation instantly generates immense energy, with light and heat bursting forth, followed by Big Bang that completely destroys the warship's structure.
Having just returned to one of his Residential Spaceship, Mo Tuotuo watched the seven ships burst into a blinding flash of light and could no longer hold back his tears of sorrow. "Damn it, damn it, humans! That was the fleet we built with so much painstaking effort, and they destroyed it all! Damn humans! Watching our life's work destroyed, and we can't do anything about it! Lord Pierce, we should fight them to the bitter end!"
"Calm down, Mo Tuotuo." Pierce had just arrived at her Residential Spaceship, was filled with sorrow, but she suppressed her grief and anger and comforted her, "Mo Tuotuo, I know you want to kill those hateful aliens, but we can't fight back. If we choose to fight to the bitter end, we will never have another chance."
Although we have now surrendered unconditionally and are being disarmed by humanity, we have gained an opportunity. As long as we live, we have a chance. Hundreds of years have passed since the last broadcast by the Milky Way Galaxy Axis Alliance. If broadcasts are the norm, I think the next one will be in fifty to a hundred years. A hundred years has passed in just a while. We must be patient.
Mo Tuotuo his already short head and let out a series of sobs characteristic of the Kuntai People: "Lord Pierce, I know, of course I know, but seeing our warships being sunk by humans like target practice makes my heart ache."
Unlike him, Pierce stared intently at the fireworks, determined to remember the scene forever.
"Mo Tuotuo, lift your head! We must face failure, we must face sorrow, only then can we imprint it in our hearts, only then can we remember the pain of today." Pierce resolutely exhaled the Ultrasound:
"Remember today's pain. When the broadcast from the Milky Way Galaxy Axis Alliance comes again, that will be our chance to turn the tables. In the meantime, we must be dogs to humans, docile dogs. No matter how humans treat us, whether we dissect us or keep us like animals, we cannot have any complaints. Not only can we not have any complaints, but we must also do our best to cater to humans so that we can gain their trust! The more they trust us, the greater our chances of success will be."
Mo Tuotuo: "I will, Your Lord Pierce."
One by one, the Kuntai People who returned to their Residential Spaceship from the warship felt the light coming from the universe. Some of them turned around in grief and indignation to face their sorrow and hatred, while others lowered their heads and cried out loud.
A single salvo sank seven warships.
After just three salvos, the last twenty-one Kun-Tai Civilization warships were reduced to cosmic debris, drifting in the space of the Aldebaran Star System.
At this moment, in the remaining Residential Spaceship of the Kun-Tai Civilization, all the Kuntai People a sorrowful despair, and a dark cloud hung over their hearts.
But before they could even grieve, they received orders from humanity to send their Residential Spaceship, which had not previously ventured into the Asteroid Belt, to it as well.
The Kun-Tai Civilization had no choice but to do as humans said.
At this moment, the seven human Mountain-Class Warship finally disregarded their concerns and slowly approached the Kun-Tai Civilization's Residential Spaceship Cluster.
From 16 light-seconds to 10 light-seconds, from 10 light-seconds to 1 light-second, and then from 1 light-second to 30,000 kilometers.
At this distance, the Kuntai People's eyesight was already good enough to see the shape of the human Mountain-Class Warship with the naked eye.
However, they showed no appreciation whatsoever; only hatred and resentment, and they cursed each other in their hearts.
Were those few warships the ones that defeated us?
Smaller than our Quake-Class Warship, yet possessing such formidable combat power! Is this the warship of that evil race known as humanity? Hatred and resentment, sorrow and pain intertwined in the spirits of all the Kuntai People, but they knew this wouldn't do. They had to follow Pierce's instructions to bury these feelings deep within their hearts, never revealing them to humanity, otherwise the Kun-Tai Civilization would have no future.
Just as the Kuntai People were filled with grief and indignation, Human Civilization sent them another message. A different message than before, or rather, a communication signal—a video connection signal.
The Kun-Tai Civilization naturally dared not hesitate in the face of such a signal. Previous exchanges had laid the foundation for communication, so the video connection was established after correct decoding.
Yue Yuan's image quickly appeared in front of Pierce, the leader of the Kun-Tai Civilization. This was the first time the two had seen each other in their current form.
"Pierce, the leader of the Kun-Tai Civilization?"
Yue Yuan spoke first. His words were translated into a signal recognizable by the Kun-Tai Civilization by the 'Tianhe Light' and then transmitted to the instrument used by Pierce. The instrument then converted the signal into an Ultrasound signal familiar to the Kun-Tai Civilization.
"Yes, great leader of Human Civilization, as you can see, I am your faithful servant." Pierce glanced at Yue Yuan once, then slowly bowed his body towards the video screen, making the devout prayer gesture unique to the Kuntai People.
However, Yue Yuan did not know what this action meant. He only saw that after the strange Kuntai People on the screen, who was very tall and covered in scales, said a sentence, he began to crawl down with his body close to the ground, while the 'tail' behind him stretched out straight.
"It probably means submission," Yue Yuan muttered to himself, then said, "Get up."
"Thank you, great human leader! What are your orders?" Pierce slowly stood up, then looked at Yue Yuan on the screen with her large, beautiful eyes.
"Um, you guys... uh?"
Just as Yue Yuan was about to say something, he suddenly caught a glimpse of a creature on the screen that looked completely different from Pierce.
The creature was not only hunched over, but also short and ugly.
What's going on? How can there be two different creatures living together in one room? Could they be pets kept by the Kuntai People? Upon seeing the Kuntai People in their 'Kun' form, Yue Yuan subconsciously assumed they were some kind of pet kept by the Kuntai People.
Indeed, they are two completely different forms, and from the outside, there is absolutely no trace of the same species.
