"After our reconnaissance ship detected the exit from the Warp, it was immediately destroyed by a fleet. This proves that the Warp faction we discovered this time isn't like the first one, which had no ability to fight back at all." The chief of staff continued explaining the intelligence beside him:
"Based on an analysis of the final images sent back by the Reconnaissance Ship, the civilization that built this Warp has reached the middle stage of Super Civilization technology, putting it on roughly equal footing with the Empire. However, we still don't know the characteristics of this type of NPC we've encountered for the first time.
"Based on our assessment, this NPC civilization may well possess a tactical weapon like the Black Hole Bomb!"
Link furrowed his brows. Black Hole Bombs were terrifying, capable of swallowing up all matter within a light-second in an instant. But they weren't invincible. Under normal circumstances, as long as a planet wasn't hit repeatedly, planetary shields could easily withstand an attack from a small Black Hole Weapon.
But the Planet Warship could take the hit; that didn't mean conventional warships could. Link swept his gaze over the endless fleet in the starry sky and ordered, "Initiate the jump. Once we reach a point thirty light-seconds from the coordinates, spread out and maintain a Level Three interval!"
The vast fleet initiated another jump. After crossing tens of thousands of light-years twice in succession, it finally reached the coordinates. The entrance to the Warp lay just thirty light-seconds away.
Radar scans showed that the nearby star system was dotted with small space probes. These deep-space radars, each only about one cubic meter in size, had a limited detection range of roughly two or three light-seconds. Their only advantage was that they were cheap and difficult
