Everything Goes Smoothly

Unless a civilization happened to pass through, none would know that an interstellar war had once taken place here. Even if sentient life on the nearest stars gazed up at the sky, they would only find it incomparably quiet.

For civilizations that had yet to set foot in interstellar space, the starry sky was simply too vast. Their technology was fundamentally incapable of detecting the disturbance caused by this interstellar war.

However, if the Dynamic Image Civilization came to investigate, they would certainly discover that these remnants belonged to Human Civilization. If they found them early enough, they might even be able to trace the direction the Human Civilization fleet had taken, since Warp Speed Travel trails remained for some time.

Of course, that was a matter for later. The Human Civilization fleet had already departed, while the individual lifeforms in the Dynamic Image Civilization who knew why humanity had rented the Level 5 Civilization ship were still dreaming away, utterly unaware—and never having imagined—that humanity could destroy a Level 5 Civilization ship.

Sure enough, Lyra, which had been following the Warp Speed Trail in pursuit, caught up with the Second and Third Fleets in interstellar space. After exchanging a greeting, it passed them and headed ahead toward the Target Star System.

However, the two fleets had even fewer personnel than the First Fleet, despite now possessing the most warships. Therefore, to complete the engine upgrades, they would have to wait until they reached the Target Star System, receive supplies and support, and
