In the treaty signed back then,
the Ouhuang Civilization was devoting the full strength of its civilization to mass-producing the tens of millions of standard warships stipulated in the agreement.
If not for the Ouhuang Civilization's special system of rule—a hierarchy in which the royal worms held absolute power—
and the irreplaceable importance of its home star system to the Ouhuang Civilization,
the chances of any other mid-level or higher civilization
signing such an unequal treaty with the Sky Peng Horizontal would have been exceedingly slim!
Given the Ouhuang Civilization's level of development
and the Sky Peng Horizontal's current combat strength,
these warships could still provide the Sky Peng Horizontal with a truly vast number of Source Points.
But in terms of cost-effectiveness, they were certainly far from ideal.
Wang Dong's plan for them
was to use them in the future, whenever a Kindling Warship needed to be given priority for development.
He would use the "Teleportation Link Device" to bring it into the Otherworldly Space battlefield where the Ouhuang Civilization was located,
then hand this batch of Ouhuang Civilization warships over to the chosen vessel.
There were twelve million of them—warships belonging to a level-six Otherworldly Civilization!
For any Kindling Warship,
they would be a tremendously valuable asset!
Wang Dong had no doubt
that any Kindling Warship fortunate enough to receive this windfall
would probably never have to worry about Source Points for the rest of its life—unless it drew a hull trait like the Sky Peng Horizontal's "Limited Evolution" or "Limited Modification."
The reason they hadn't remained cloaked the entire time
was naturally to make sure the Ouhuang Civilization was reminded of their presence.
Only by constantly reminding them that the Sword of Damocles hung over their heads
could they be kept sufficiently motivated to work.
Of course,
