Hot War

At the edge of Humanity territory, enormous spacecraft stood scattered across the borders of Humanity's various territories. Near every massive spacecraft were slightly smaller warships, each carrying Humanity's cultivators.

Various technological weapons filled the space around these warships. With abundant energy reserves, they had already entered combat readiness and stood prepared to launch an attack at any moment.

Opposite Humanity, the Free Alliance had also fully deployed its formation. Unlike Humanity's spacecraft, which bore neat and uniform paint schemes, its ships came in all manner of styles, weaving through the starry sky before stopping at their assigned positions.

Aside from the Mechanical Race's ships, vessels built by other factions were much slower and could only maneuver through the areas occupied by the Mechanical Race ships.

The two sides were separated by only ten million kilometers. At full speed, they would collide head-on in no time. Compared with Humanity's fleet, which was entirely configured for battle, the Free Alliance had erected massive fortresses behind its spacecraft and warships, building formidable defensive works to halt Humanity's advance.

These defensive fortifications had been under construction for ten thousand years, having begun when the war with Humanity first started. Their presence was precisely why Humanity's offensive had not progressed so swiftly.
