"Energy strikes, civilization strikes—what a move, how ruthless!"
Hepha praised him sincerely, though a trace of wariness was mixed into her eyes.
Not everyone could watch tens of thousands of second- and third-tier warriors be wiped out without batting an eye.
Nor could everyone use a "civilization strike" against their own side.
The Milta Federation was a country where individualism flourished, but even there, if someone sent hundreds of thousands of lives to their deaths for an experiment, they would become a top-priority target for the Federation.
"And besides, I smelled a pleasant scent on you."
Hepha murmured, her eyes growing increasingly watery and alluring.
Huh?
The High Engineer cast the other party a puzzled glance.
What kind of mentality is this?
The reason he had invited her to watch the siege was largely to carry out "deterrence tactics" against a "third-tier civilization."
Planetary cannons and planet-destroyers were powerful too, but they only constituted a "military threat."
It was difficult for either of them to break through a blockade and strike the interior of a civilization.
But "civilization weapons" were different. They could be deployed internally and cause massive casualties.
Especially in a mechanical civilization, there were large numbers of high-risk energy sources within—mechanical planets, planetary spacecraft, stellar energy hubs, and the like.
Basically, if one was ignited, it would explode.
Although both sides understood that this kind of "energy civilization attack" was built on the resource planets of "Whale α Centauri," theoretically, it lacked long-range strike capabilities. Even if it could launch a "long-range strike," exhausting a planet's resources would probably only allow it to fire once.
But would you dare test it?
An individualistic civilization was never a single nation or a single will. Where there were appeasers, there would inevitably be "bandit suppressors."
Civilization was a hunting
