A Peculiar Hobby

Within the Star Sea Alliance, the Epoch Clan and the Inner-Ring Civilizations have blocked the path to advancement, resulting in many ancient civilizations experiencing varying degrees of spiritual problems.

For example, the entire Lashudia Clan has a terrible personality, and the Daibo Civilization is another example.

In fact, this idea of Daibo Civilization is common in the Star Sea Alliance. Many civilizations, upon discovering that they cannot Overlord their own destiny at the overall level, give up their efforts and choose to Overlord their own destiny at the individual level.

Some individuals in civilized societies choose to immerse themselves in games, creating new homes in virtual worlds and taking control of their own destinies.

Some civilizations have chosen to explore the unknown, venturing into outer space. However, due to their extremely high rate of communication loss, this has been prohibited by most civilizations.

Some individual civilizations choose to explore within star systems. After all, the Star Sea Alliance has more than two hundred races and controls tens of thousands of star systems. It would be impossible to explore them all in a short time. In fact, most individual civilizations, even if they hibernate in space capsules, would not be able to complete this feat before their lives come to an end.

However, since this behavior is within the Alliance territory, one can easily seek help from local civilizations when encountering difficulties, making it generally quite safe, and therefore it is encouraged by various civilizations.

Some individuals in a civilization dislike the virtual world or wandering around; they prefer to conduct research. However, this research is not for the purpose of advancing civilization, but rather a personal hobby.

For example, some people study carving, some study food cooking, some study hunting methods for various fish and wild beasts, while others like to make small gadgets.

The Daibo Civilization tends to create small gadgets and similar items. Their people enjoy crafting unique objects, such as figurines based on movies and anime...

Of course, their figures are much more hardcore. Within their capabilities, they strive to achieve many functions and aim for a high degree of accuracy. Many of their export products are high-end figures, which have received unanimous praise from all members of the Star Sea Alliance.

When the Zerg first demonstrated their melee capabilities, a small group of experts from the Star Sea Alliance proposed that to Zerg this fighting style, they should develop highly agile Mecha Warrior.

As a result, many civilizations began to study this kind of thing that only appeared in anime and movies, which looked very cool but had little practical value in reality.

When the Daibo Civilization took a look, they realized that this thing was just a large-scale figurine, which was their forte. So they devoted themselves wholeheartedly to the research and development of the mecha.

In fact, fewer and fewer people support this suggestion, as they have found that close-range beam weapons are easier to defend against Zerg units. After all, no matter how agile the Zerg combat units are, they cannot outrun the speed of light.

However, close-range ray weapons have not had much practical value in the past, and the Coalition Army currently at the forefront were deployed many years ago. Therefore, even if their own race has developed the relevant weapons, these old warships have not been equipped with them.

However, the Daibo Civilization has a foundation in figure manufacturing, and they have made quite a few large mechs in the past, with good accuracy and performance.

When their warships were about to set sail, they rushed to build a batch, thinking they would show off their prowess on the battlefield. They planned to film it, make a movie, and show it to the Daibo people.

Seeing their own figurines display their power on the real battlefield will surely satisfy the unique fetishes of the Daibo Race.

Therefore, when an outsider suggested sending some Zerg combat units over for close combat, the Daibo Race representative immediately became excited. They had originally thought that they might not find an opportunity to attack on this kind of battlefield, but they did not expect the Zerg to be so cooperative.

The Ancient Class creatures curled up into a ball; their soft structure allowed them to easily perform this operation. Their Biological Armor, upgraded countless times, enabled them to withstand minor bumps and knocks even at maximum speed.

But at this time, the battlefield was littered with floating warship wreckage on the Coalition Army side. If you hit one of them, it would almost certainly result in it exploding.

However, before they could explode, they had to evade the Coalition Army's artillery fire. But since the Ancient Class was currently curled up in a ball-like state, it was difficult for them to move or lay down. To move, they had to unfold. But this would inevitably reduce their speed, and once unfolded, they would be larger targets and easier to become.

However, even if they curl up into a ball, the target is still ridiculously large, and because they cannot change direction drastically, their course is very easy to calculate.

Although tens of thousands of Ancient Class were launched in a single salvo, the Coalition Army, with their sheer number of warships, could annihilate them without even needing to shift their Ancient Class.

However, due to the Coalition Army's deliberate leniency, a small number of the Ancient Class still managed to penetrate the fire network. Normally, even if they passed through the main gun's firing range, there would still be numerous secondary guns waiting for them.

However, the Coalition Army's discussion just now concluded that they couldn't dishearten the Zerg commanders and had to stop sending troops. So, after firing a few symbolic shots, the secondary guns stopped firing. Even though those shots were extremely inaccurate, if they had been even slightly more accurate, the Ancient Class wouldn't have reached the wreckage area.

"Are our acting skills too poor? Can we possibly fool the Zerg commander?"

"The performance is too obvious; even the worst Outer-Ring Civilizations wouldn't be this accurate."

"Exactly. The Zerg have fought us more than once or twice, how could they not see that we were holding back?"

"Don't worry, if the Zerg commander this time is truly an idiot, he probably won't stop."

The Zerg did not disappoint the Coalition Army; as the remnants of the first batch of Ancient Class Projectile arrived at the wreckage area, the second batch of Ancient Class Projectile also entered the ejection channel.

"Really..."

"Fine..."

"It really is..."

The Zerg's performance once again amazed the Coalition Army. Some even suggested that once the battle was won, they should find a way to release the Zerg commander. With him around, the Coalition Army could minimize their losses.

However, they were quickly dumbfounded. Apart from the Zerg Royal Court, the Alliance had never seen any real Zerg. Where was this Zerg commander hiding? There wasn't even a target location. Even if the Coalition Army wanted to let him go, they wouldn't know where to hide him.

In the end, they could only silently pray that the Zerg commander would be lucky enough to escape the artillery fire. The Daibo Civilization was especially sincere in their prayers, because of this first wave of Ancient Class, only a handful remained, and it seemed unlikely that they could break through the defense zone.

Only if the Zerg continue deploying Ancient Class can they possibly break through the debris field and reach the Coalition Army positions. But if the Zerg don't continue, their hard-won opportunity to demonstrate their capabilities will be wasted again.
