"Our race had already given up the conflict with the Zerg, but you approached us, saying you could help us avenge our grievances. Now you're turning around and blaming us!"

"Heh, how ridiculous! I wonder who was it that came to persuade my clan first. Should I request the clan to send over the video recording from that time?"

"Yes, my clan was furious at first and sought help from within the alliance, but you all refused. Just when my clan had given up, you brought it up again! Is that right?"

"Alright, stop arguing. The rights and wrongs of the past are in the past. Your arguing is just a waste of everyone's time. The most urgent thing now is to discuss a solution." As the initiator and strongest member of the alliance, the words of the representative of the Koriato civilization carried considerable weight.

However, the Duoqi Race representative's words, "you, you," were too broad. Although what happened back then was indeed the case, saying it like that made everyone unhappy, and now all the other members have been offended.

Representative Duoqi clearly realized he had spoken carelessly in his haste, and now obediently shut his mouth, trying to minimize his presence. However, the Xiwei Race representative who had argued with him earlier was not so willing to let him off the hook.

"Hmph, I certainly don't approve of a direct confrontation with Zerg on the Duoqi Race border."

"You!" Duoqi, representing the three eyes, glared again.

The Xiwei Race were slender and gentle in appearance, appearing somewhat delicate compared to the fierce-looking Duoqi representative. However, he showed no fear, disdainfully saying, "Don't bluff. The data comparison just now was only theoretical. Don't forget, before the Zerg made their move, their speed wasn't even half the speed of light."

At this point, his expression turned serious. "I've investigated through connections, but the Zerg have never exchanged any technology or theories with the Epoch Clan. They only shared a Riken Race Epoch Clan a period of time. Everyone knows what kind of spaceship that was. So, how did the Zerg acquire the warp drive? How much time has passed since the Zerg last made their move? I think Representative Duoqi is the most qualified to answer that."

After these words were spoken, everyone fell silent, even the furious Duoqi representative remained silent. This was indeed a very real problem.

Warp drive, as a dividing line between civilization levels, is definitely not something that can be easily crossed. As the leader of the Star Sea Alliance, the Epoch Clan was plunged into Dark Era of over ten thousand years because of it, and almost wiped out due to civil war.

However, in just over a hundred years, the Zerg not only leaped from sub-light speed to the warp speed era, but even reached three times the speed of light as soon as they appeared. This level is naturally inferior to those established civilizations, but it has already surpassed a power like the Duoqi Civilization.

This reminded everyone of a previous, overlooked, or rather selectively ignored, speculation mentioned in the intelligence: the Zerg possessed the technological reserves of an advanced biological civilization.

The Xiwei Race representative's meaning was clear: no one knows what else the Zerg possess, or even whether three times the speed of light is their limit. Under such unknown circumstances, rashly engaging in battle with such an enemy based on some unreliable data is far too risky.

Once the Koya Alliance's rallying force is devoured by the Zerg, the Koya Alliance will be in a very passive position.

"I agree with the Xiwei Race representative's opinion; we cannot fight the Zerg head-on on the Duoqi border."

"Agreed. Since the Zerg have chosen a cautious approach, there's no need for us to fight Zerg head-on for a few star systems. It's better to abandon them to buy time, fully unleash our war potential, and gather more troops to deter the Zerg from advancing rashly or changing their attack direction. That's the best strategy."

"This plan is brilliant!"

"Agree."

As the members of the Koya Alliance continued to express their opinions, Representative Duoqi was seething with rage. These so-called star systems, sacrificed to buy time, were undoubtedly Duoqi Race territory.

Furthermore, judging from the words of the representatives of other civilizations, it's clear they intend to abandon more than one star system. Following this line of thought, the Duoqi, with only three star systems in total, will certainly be prioritized for abandonment. But without territory, wouldn't the Duoqi Race become a homeless, nomadic race?

Thinking of this, he disregarded whether he would offend his colleagues and angrily declared, "No! We absolutely cannot do this, otherwise what will happen to my nearly 50 billion clansmen?"

Silence fell upon the crowd. After a long pause, the representative of the Koriato civilization spoke up, "Representative Duoqi, the Koya Alliance is responsible for all its members. It is impossible for all members to be put in danger for your sake. Of course, Duoqi is also one of us, and Koya will also be responsible for you. We will relocate your people to a safe place. All members will contribute to this effort. Do you agree?"

"Our tribe's supply ships can help evacuate the people of Duoqi." With the leader's direction set, the other members all expressed their opinions.

"Our tribe can also help with transportation and relocation."

"My clan is fine too."

"Same as above..."

But these guys talked for ages, only offering to help with the transfer and transportation, but where to transfer it to was a problem. Having no other choice, the Koriato civilization, as the leader, had to set an example first.

"Koriato can free up a thousand large space survival pods, which, with slight modifications, are expected to accommodate Duoqi People. We will also be responsible for their living needs."

Large space survival pods are a variant of large ecological ships. They are larger in size and have a more complete ecosystem, which can completely simulate the planetary environment, but due to their size, they usually no longer have the ability to move quickly.

This is a common method for civilizations to accommodate large populations. They are not technologically advanced and are relatively easy to build. Some wealthy individuals can even customize these survival pods and transform them into their preferred style.

With the leader setting an example, the other members had no room to pretend to be ignorant and could only follow suit and express their opinions.

"Our race can provide a mineral-rich planetary colony and two hundred eco-capture modules, which are expected to accommodate Duoqi People."

"Our tribe can provide 300 eco-pods, enough to house more than 2.5 Duoqi People."

"Our race can..." After going around in circles, the various civilizations each took on a task based on their own abilities.

The members gave them face, and the leader, the representative of the Koriato civilization, was very satisfied. "Representative Duoqi, everyone is so supportive of you, what do you think?"

Duoqi, his eyes filled with anger, remained silent.

His attitude displeased the representative, Koriato, whose face turned cold, and he gave the representative from the Xiwei Race a meaningful look.
