After Ouyang Jie returned to Earth, he immediately began making arrangements for the human warships to attack Mlak Planet.
Once Zhang Fan issued his order forbidding any alien race from helping humanity, every alien serving aboard the human warships was replaced. A fleet crewed entirely by humans began assembling in the Solar System.
The sight of more than a hundred thousand warships of every type gave Buffett and the others quite a shock.
Buffett asked in astonishment, "Where have the humans been hiding all these warships? There are so many, yet we never noticed."
Zhang Fan laughed heartily. "I told you not to underestimate humanity. They built them long ago. These warships were right in front of you-you simply turned a blind eye."
"How is that possible?"
Zhang Fan pointed at a large warship. "See that one? Yesterday, it was a merchant vessel that had just returned from Mars. And that one used to be a transport. In fact, all the ships trading with you were warships."
Buffett asked curiously, "Why would the humans do that? We never opposed them building warships. What was the point of hiding them like this?"
Zhang Fan shook his head. "It seems you still don't understand humans well enough. You can never afford to let your guard down."
Buffett truly could not understand. "Then why are they revealing them now?"
"Hahaha! To show our Insect Race their strength. They believe they're already capable of facing every threat in the universe."
In response to Zhang Fan's words, Vaslarld voiced his concern. "Even now, human warships are no match for those of my Qiya People. The creatures on Mlak Planet evolve much faster, and then there's the force backing them... Overlord, are you really comfortable letting the humans go?"
Zhang Fan patted Vaslarld on the shoulder.
