After the Lashudia Clan crippled themselves and the Coalition Army commander went missing, the Komong Race, which had a numerical advantage, and although they were only a lower-level civilization in the middle circle, their influence subtly and gradually increased.

With them speaking out, even if other tribes disagreed, they couldn't openly refute them. However, the Komong Race was, after all, an authority on primary color technology, so their statements were highly credible.

"The Zerg possess some kind of primary color Interaction System, that's beyond doubt, and we're all willing to believe it. While this Interaction System is highly stealthy, it also has significant limitations."

"Yes, it relies too heavily on optical propagation. Not only can it not receive any effective information at long distances, but at close range, emitting strong light can greatly interfere with their communication in this way."

"The various energy missiles and explosions on the battlefield are all emitting different kinds of light, but I have never seen any chaos among the Zerg."

"This shows that while the Zerg weren't lying, they didn't tell the whole story either."

"That's perfectly normal, isn't it? If any of you here were willing to hold back, you probably wouldn't be revealing your trump cards."

"Yes, that's quite normal," a member of the foreign tribe remarked.

"Does anyone know what their main method of communication is?"

"I don't know, but it's different from us. Our information units have never intercepted any Zerg interaction information."

"Heh, we're the same. To be honest, among the races of you here, some may have more advanced technology than us, but none are even a generation ahead. Therefore, even with your communications, apart from quantum communication, we can't crack other signals, but we know you're communicating. Interestingly, our detection equipment hasn't detected Zerg transmitting anything for remote communication."

"They can't all be equipped with Quantum Communication System, can they?"

"How could that be? Those large units are one thing, but those small units... even if we wanted to configure them, their size wouldn't be enough to accommodate them." "Who can say for sure? After all, we're completely clueless about that level of biotechnology."

"Yes, but I suspect their large units communicate via quantum communication, while the smaller units deployed during combat communicate through that primary color Interaction System. Furthermore, I've reviewed the earliest records about the Zerg, which mention that they utilize various methods of communication through sound."

"I've seen that too, but it doesn't explain what we just mentioned about coordinated operations on the battlefield without any interference. The intense light from an explosion is enough to interfere with optical reception, and sound doesn't travel in space."

"That's right, this proves that the Zerg do indeed possess an extremely secretive and comical interaction system. But what is it?"

"I'm afraid we'll have to ask the Epoch Clan about that."

"I don't think the Epoch Clan knows either. If they did, there's no reason they wouldn't share such crucial intelligence with us at the front."

"Indeed, through this incident, the Epoch Clan... sigh... in my heart, is no longer the Epoch Clan it once was."

"It's no longer invincible, is it?"

"..."

A moment of silence fell over the room, perhaps due to the desperate atmosphere of isolation and helplessness, or perhaps because someone was deliberately leading the conversation, but everyone spoke much more boldly. Some things that they dared not say before, they could now say out loud.

However, these topics were ultimately just for discussion; they couldn't draw any useful conclusions, and could only use them to pass the time.

As everyone waited anxiously, time passed slowly, and the battlefield fell into a strange state. The two sides faced each other from a distance, but no artillery fire was fired. The side with the numerical advantage had a somewhat scattered formation, neither attacking nor retreating, and many even deliberately shut down most of their energy systems, with many ship lights going out.

Having lost their power, they resembled dark, metallic cages in space, exuding an eerie and terrifying aura.

After a long wait...

"It's almost time..."

"Really? You believe they have complete control of our fleet?"

"Maybe, who knows? I was just saying."

"Why..."

Several sighs were heard. In fact, many of the other races vaguely knew why the Zerg had not yet responded. The remnants of the Zerg on the great battlefield remained silent, but the Zerg on their warships were not idle.

The previous predicament of the Lashudia Clan was largely due to their own over-exploitation of energy output in an attempt to enter warp drive. The Zerg units seized this opportunity to disrupt their energy systems, leading to a situation that the Lashudia Clan could no longer control.

However, if they don't increase the energy output to that level, even if the Zerg destroy the energy system, it will only cause a small-tonnage explosion, not enough to cause a sturdy warship to explode.

This was true for the Lashudia Clan, and for other races as well. However, as time passed, the Coalition Army's fighting strength stagnated, or even declined. On the other hand, the Zerg was definitely increasing.

"Looking at it from another angle, the Zerg are unlikely to wipe us out completely, which might be good news," a member of the alien race said with a wry smile, though his laughter had a sinister and eerie quality.

Although his laughter was unpleasant, his words resonated with the outsiders. If the Zerg wanted to exterminate them, they only needed to destroy the energy system. An energy system that hadn't reached its maximum output capacity, while not completely destroying the warship with a small explosion, would still deprive it of power. Without power, the warship couldn't fire or start its engines to leave, and was forced to remain stationary.

The loss of energy would cause the warship's gravity and internal circulation systems to collapse, meaning the increasingly harsh internal environment would be enough to kill the Zerg without Zerg needing to intervene further.

The fact that the Zerg haven't done so after all this time indicates that they don't want to wipe them out completely. The reason they haven't responded is that the Zerg on the ship are only good at defense, but lack offensive capabilities.

Once those insects have enough numbers to completely control the ship's interior, the Zerg's response will likely follow.

"I've been to that Riken Race's trading city before. Do you know the Riken Race? They're the race that's closest to the Zerg, a very weak and miserable race," a representative suddenly said. He came from an Outer-Ring Civilizations of the Koya Alliance, whose territory was very close to the Zerg.

Although this alien's strength was far inferior to those of the Mid-Ring Civilizations, his mysterious demeanor, as if he were about to reveal a major secret, still piqued everyone's interest. Having been so close to the Zerg, perhaps he had some inside information.
