For the rigidly hierarchical Eugene Civilization, an order from the emperor was the highest directive, never to be disobeyed.
Although every Eugene was filled with dread, they still had to obey their muscle memory and begin adjusting the parameters of their various weapons.
The warships accompanying the Eugene flagship were the elite of the Eugene Civilization.

The Eugene Emperor held its breath and stared at the screen ahead.

For a level three civilization, the fastest weapon was naturally a High-Energy Laser Beam traveling at the speed of light.
A brilliant beam crossed tens of millions of kilometers and struck precisely near the three Spherical Probes.

The first laser beam's successful hit was like a bugle sounding the Eugene Civilization's counterattack!
Before the Eugene People could react, a dense barrage of High-Energy Laser Beams had completely engulfed the three "lonely" probes!
