In fact, the Daibo Civilization didn't intend to hide the exclusive data they collected during their battles against the Zerg. After all, it wasn't anything particularly remarkable; according to some civilization representatives, it was just data collected from toys.

If the Zerg are wiped out, these mechs will once again lose their practical value and become mere toys.

But this data was earned by the Daibo Race at the cost of their lives, and it's hard to just hand it over for nothing. At the very least, they should exchange it for something from the Epoch Clan, even just some points would be a good deal.

Although the Daibo Race has lost the motivation to climb upwards, developing their interests and hobbies horizontally sometimes requires the support of special technologies, so having some points saved up is always a good thing.

"We never intended to keep the data to ourselves, but we will discuss how to allocate and use it with the Epoch Clan before making a decision," the Daibo Race commander said in a deep voice, ignoring the gossip.

Having achieved their goal, the group chatted for a few more minutes, but finding the Daibo Race silent, and realizing that their self-entertainment was pointless, they gradually ended the conversation.

In reality, people don't really need the data collected by the Daibo Race this time. But getting things for free is a common trait among many races. When they encounter something interesting, they'll try to get it regardless of whether they can use it or not. If they do get it, they're guaranteed to make a profit; if they don't, it's just a waste of breath.

The Zerg did not stop dropping Ancient Class Projectile despite the Daibo Civilization's poor acting skills. These special projectiles continued to be fired at the Coalition Army at the original frequency.

However, after discovering the defensive line of the Daibo Civilization and ending the chaos, the Zerg did not continue to target it. Instead, they chose to continue to fire the Ancient Class Projectile "evenly" at the Coalition Army lines, ensuring that the projectiles were distributed evenly.

The Coalition Army was naturally pleased with this; the Zerg had a new commander with an unusually idiotic style, and these previous speculations seemed to be slowly being confirmed.

With the Zerg forces suppressed and continuously being sent in, everyone felt less pressured, and the command channel was filled with laughter and banter from the high-ranking members of each race.

However, not everyone was immersed in the joyful atmosphere. For example, the commander of the Daibo Civilization sensed that something was amiss.

He had sensed something was off since he was being targeted, but he dismissed it as a mistake and didn't pay much attention. But now, the unease was particularly pronounced.

When did the Coalition Army forces become so harmonious?

While the situation wasn't exactly harmonious for him when it came to the Daibo Civilization, it was much more harmonious when it came to their team.

Everyone seemed to have forgotten their usual sordid and despicable ways, and suddenly they stood together to target their Daibo Civilization. Even Mowei of the Lashudia Clan and Mide of the Yuntu Clan, these old rivals, were able to coordinate their attacks in a harmonious manner.

Even the fleet commander-in-chief, Conrads, who should have been extremely serious, made a few casual remarks, which had an excellent effect of adding fuel to the fire.

This was also what made him feel uneasy at the time. As enemies in a sense, Mowei and Mide naturally understood each other and cooperated well, which was understandable.

With the strongest Lashudia Clan and Yuntu Clan, taking the lead, and even the fleet commander personally setting the pace, it's normal for those smaller tribes on the outer circle to follow suit and watch the show.

However, as the fleet commander-in-chief, Conrads should not express his stance at this time. The Daibo Race commander thought back carefully and realized that he had not offended this fleet commander in the past.

If it was the Daibo Race that arbitrarily tightened the tap, almost exposing the Alliance's leniency, although it ultimately did not cause any serious consequences, then when they increased the interception efforts, they did not have time to consult the fleet commander.

Given that he is a member of the Lashudia Clan, a group with mental health issues, it's understandable that he might harbor some resentment and seek revenge.

But the current situation is definitely not normal.

The Zerg's Stellar Bomb plan, which everyone had been speculating about, and even made a lot of preparations for it, with each race making many plans and rehearsals in order to escape, or rather, to withdraw from the battlefield as soon as possible, and the shipborne supercomputers almost crashed because of it.

However, once the war began, the concerns about the Zerg's Stellar Bomb program suddenly disappeared. Without any evidence, simply because the Zerg were putting up a fierce resistance and had revealed some new ranged units, one hypothesis was used to overturn another.

But are the Zerg truly putting up a fierce resistance? Is this behavior of sending hundreds of thousands of combat units, large and small, in waves every five minutes really considered a fierce resistance?

The so-called new Zerg commander and the brainless style are just the race's self-indulgence, but they have been accepted by many people for no reason.

Few people even raised objections, just like with the Zerg's Stellar Bomb back then; suddenly, it seemed like everyone agreed with this view.

Even though they were so certain at the time, these people quickly came to believe that the Zerg did not intend to destroy the star.

As the commander of the Daibo Race, he naturally had to be responsible for his people and subordinates. Before going into battle, he carefully studied the Zerg. The records showed that the Zerg were treacherous and cunning, and no matter how unreliable their actions seemed, they always had a purpose behind them. Since the start of the war, they had never suffered a defeat.

How could Zerg commander who could lead billions of troops be such a brainless idiot? He just couldn't believe it. Compared to that, he felt that the Zerg sending troops must have some meaning, which made it more plausible.

But the Daibo Race commander looked at the laughing and joking crowd; they didn't seem interested in considering these things and remained lost in their outrageous fantasies.

Are these people sick? He suddenly had a feeling of being the only one sober in a world of drunks.

With teammates being so incompetent, the Daibo Race commander had no choice but to rely on himself. After much deliberation, he couldn't resist and secretly approached Conrads to explain his point of view.

After listening, Conrads didn't make things difficult for the Daibo Race commander. Instead, he quite affirmed his point of view. With Conrads' intervention, the command channel finally returned to normal. The group then continued to discuss the Zerg's strategies and tactics, and what they were trying to achieve.

The Daibo Race commander thought to himself, "Although Conrads is a Lashudia Clan who has some mental issues, he is still quite reliable as the commander-in-chief of the Coalition Army."

Although Conrads seemed somewhat reliable, due to the lack of information, after discussing it for a long time, the group only became more certain that the Zerg commander was an idiot, without gaining much further insight.

The war continued, with tedious exchanges of fire, one round for each side, making the war feel like a turn-based game. Time flew by, and two years passed in the blink of an eye.
