Interception

Many Blade wholeheartedly agreed, acknowledging that this matter indeed fell to the Yuntu Clan and Sangqie Clan. As mentioned earlier, the technological levels of the Mid-Ring Civilizations varied greatly; not all Mid-Ring Civilizations possessed Dark Energy conversion devices.

The Yuntu Clan and Sangqie Clan, as the most outstanding Mid-Ring Civilizations, possess this technology without question.

The Overlord's demands must be met first, and the Blade instantly identified their target.

"But they're not pushovers. If we're going to make a move, we need to plan carefully."

"They are the fastest; the other races' fleets are slightly slower. Considering the differences in their departure points and routes, we can exploit a time difference."

"They don't believe we can pinpoint their location. If we exploit this information gap, we can make a good move."

"Yes, we might not have such a good opportunity again."

After some discussion, the Swarm forces began to change course, turn around, and head towards the new rendezvous point. Five months later, the Swarm forces began to gradually disembark from warp drive.

Hidden in the void were countless reconnaissance devices from both sides. To avoid making their tactical intentions too obvious, the Swarm army had an unusually large number of drop points, more than five hundred, making it seem like a lottery game.

Because warp drive requires intervals, the troops arrived in succession. The troops that arrived first took advantage of the relatively ample time to clear out the surrounding reconnaissance equipment.

Because there were too many clearing points, and with the support of their own forces, the Swarm's operation did not alert the Coalition Army forces; instead, it was ridiculed.

After clearing out the Coalition Army's reconnaissance equipment and driving away their reconnaissance ships, the subsequent arriving troops focused their efforts accordingly. The troops that arrived earlier at the two rendezvous points used sub-light-speed travel to shift laterally by 0.1 light-years, while the subsequent troops directly changed course to reach the new rendezvous points.

Meanwhile, some mines began to be deployed. These mines can use the enormous energy released when Dark Matter is detonated to briefly disrupt the gravitational balance and destroy the Warp Bubble.

A warship trapped in a destroyed Warp Bubble might escape with a half-destroyed body if it's lucky, but if it's unlucky, it will be crushed into dust by the chaotic space.

However, due to the large number of assembly points and limited time, these two sniping positions could only muster less than ten million troops by the time the battle began. Although it seemed like a futile effort, it was actually sufficient.

With everything prepared, all that's left is to wait and see.

Even with their advanced technology, the Yuntu Clan and Sangqie Clan could not escape the limitations of warp drive. Therefore, their warships were arranged in a relatively loose formation, advancing layer by layer.

The first few warships in line were suddenly hit by a piercing alarm on their bridges, but before the Yuntu Clan crew members on duty could react, they were torn to pieces by the gravitational turbulence and lost consciousness.

Outside the Warp Bubble, some warship wreckage was ejected and shot out in all directions. The speed was so fast that it even injured several Ancient Class in the distance.

Dark Matter mines were continuously detonated, and more and more Yuntu Clan warships were torn apart. Unfortunately, among the parts ejected by the gravitational turbulence, there were no intact Dark Matter energy conversion devices.

The Yuntu Clan's warships continued to be destroyed, but the warships behind them seemed completely unaware, still jumping into the fire pit. In fact, the warships behind them were truly unaware of the situation.

In warp drive mode, only the Quantum Communication System can be used normally, and even the top powers in the Mid-Ring Civilizations cannot equip every warship with a Quantum Communication Device.

In addition, the information silence control during warp drive creates a situation where the front-line troops are attacked without the rear being aware of it.

In this situation, advanced civilizations could mitigate this risk by equipping each warship with Quantum Communication Device and then allowing communication within the fleet.

However, the number of such civilizations is truly very small. This is why the alien fleets have to constantly adjust their course when flying at warp speed. Because once their position is known, it would be a terrible disaster for them.

Fortunately, as the number of Dark Matter mines exploding increased, their impact gradually connected, slowly forming a large anomalous area, which indirectly helped the Yuntu Clan a great deal.

Finally, the instruments on the Yuntu Clan's warships, even from a great distance, detected the anomaly ahead and began to sound alarms. The sufficient buffer distance gave them time to respond.

Five million kilometers from the anomaly region, a Yuntu Clan warship broke free from warp drive. The crew piloting the ship broke out in a cold sweat; thankfully, they reacted in time, otherwise, in just a few more seconds, they would have crashed into the gravitational anomaly region.

But they were too optimistic. After exiting warp drive, their conventional radar started working and quickly detected the Swarm forces in the vicinity.

No matter how superior the Yuntu Clan's warships are, they have no chance of escaping when faced with an encirclement of millions of Ancient Class warships, especially given the element of surprise. Even the Epoch Clan's warships are helpless in this situation.

But giving up meant death, and the crew members of the Yuntu Clan didn't want to die. Even if the chance was almost zero, as long as it wasn't completely zero, they still wanted to give it a try.

Given the current situation, it's impossible for them to directly re-enter warp drive mode. They can only activate the Sub-light Engine and randomly select a point in the encirclement to launch an attack.

Shortly after they started, the second and third Yuntu Clan warships leaped in. The Yuntu Clan crew members were quite conscious and immediately understood their current situation.

The tailpipes lit up, and the warship gradually accelerated, chasing after its companions ahead. They believed that the power of the collective was stronger than that of the individual, and the success rate would be higher. As long as their companions kept following, they might actually be able to break through the Zerg's encirclement.

Fortunately, the Zerg seemed to have gone mad, or perhaps something was wrong, and simply ignored their actions, watching them charge into the encirclement.

The crew members had a vague feeling that something was wrong, but they didn't have time to think too much about it at the moment. The captain and the other crew members' wake-up procedures had already been initiated. They had never thought about being intercepted, so many of them were still in hibernation during their space travel.

The third, the fourth, the fifth... all the way up to the tenth.

The Yuntu Clan's forces grew larger and larger, and just as they were gloating, when the eleventh Yuntu Clan warship appeared, the Zerg forces, which had seemed to have stopped operating, suddenly bared their fangs.

The moment the warship emerged from its Warp Bubble and before it could even get a clear look at its surroundings, the Zerg had already locked onto its location, and thousands of energy beams arrived in an instant, blasting it into pieces.
