In the Civilization War, whether tactical or strategic, every plan originated from the constant unlocking of the technology tree.
In fact, the reason most Civilization Wars were launched was, to a large extent, to "upgrade the technology tree."
That was why neither the "Civilization Council" nor any other cosmic-level organization opposed Civilization Wars.
Interfering with the evolution of civilizations was the greatest moral issue in the universe.
And now, in this war—
the principle was the same.
Because of someone's blueprints, combined with the tycoon's money power and infrastructure capabilities, the Mechanic Civilization had evolved far beyond its enemies.
This "transcendence" was comprehensive.
Objectively speaking, it had also brought suppression on the level of warfare.
But if they wanted to settle everything with a single blow, that was still incredibly difficult.
After all, defeating a civilization of the same level was one thing, while destroying one was another.
Of the nearly ten Level Three civilizations in the Anti-Insect Alliance, how many had records of destroying civilizations of the same level? Not a single one!
The Insect Queen was incredibly powerful. Even after fighting a group of Mechanic Civilizations by herself, she had ultimately destroyed only one civilization—the Black Mechanic Alliance—and even that had required her to personally enter the fray and endure one of the enemy's civilization trump cards.
According to the information available, the Insect Queen had indeed been gravely wounded. However, for certain special reasons, she had later been healed.
Therefore, to completely destroy a civilization of the same level, even if they only wanted to inflict severe damage, it was impossible without deploying a surprise attack.
The "Five Grandmasters" had also seen this point. Thus, the surprise attack he had deployed was the Cyber Tide that had once forced the players offline for more than a month
