At the Stellaris Council venue, another emergency meeting is being held, but the scale is much smaller. Only the council members can participate, and ordinary civilizations are not qualified to enter the venue.
The Antilians representative who stood up pointed his finger at the Zero people representative and angrily said, "Didn't your country use Shroud weapon to shatter the consciousness of Overmind? How could there be such a large-scale Swarm counterattack fleet? Our country lost a lot of military power in Qadian, and this is all the Zero people's responsibility!"
"The power of Shroud weapon cannot be understood by the savage Antilians. Our Grand Archon saw the activation of the weapon with his own eyes. Even if Swarm's Overmind is really regenerated, it must have been crushed again."
The Zeluo representative looked at Representative Antilians with contempt, "Only those who do not understand the true power of Shroud weapon will doubt its power. I understand this, after all, they are ignorant."
With a bang, Antilians slapped the table and shouted angrily, "Then you can explain what the current situation is?"
"We believe what the Zero people said, Shroud weapon has been activated, and Overmind's consciousness should have been shattered again. But this Swarm's counterattack may have come from another independent Hatchery. Didn't they encounter an attack before the fall of Qadian? That may be a test..." The Randall man who looked like a starfish began to talk.
"Gestalt believes that blaming each other is meaningless at this stage, and holding people responsible cannot restore the crisis situation. During this crisis, all major civilizations have tried their best. What we need to do is to prevent the status quo from deteriorating." Gestalt robot said in an electronic voice.
"Yes, now how should we respond to the Swarm fleet with a size of one million." Facing the silent venue, the Gestalt robot repeated it again.
But still no civilization has spoken. The representatives of the civilization here have all understood the combat effectiveness of the invading Swarm fleet, and they have also fully understood the extent of damage caused by the Swarm fleet in the Tianping star field.
It can only be said that the evolution of Swarm has exceeded their imagination. There is not much difference in the combat power between Swarm's biological fleet and the council's steel fleet.
This one million Swarm fleet, with the number of Stellaris Council battleships in the Tianping Starfield, is really unstoppable.
Although, in the balance star field, the three hundred interstellar civilizations combined, plus the reinforcements from the council, should be able to gather 500,000 battleships. They are at a disadvantage in terms of quantity and combat effectiveness.
How can half a million scattered steel battleships stop a million concentrated Swarm fleet?
In reality, a bad situation is the best cooling agent. The angry representative Antilians sat down helplessly. After waiting for a long time without a civilized representative to speak, he said bluntly, "Abandon the Balance Star Territory, and give up those fortress planets too. No matter how strong the fortress is, it can't be defended if someone takes the back."
He drew a line on his terminal, "From here to here is a relatively narrow place in the hyperspace channel. There are only three channels. It is more appropriate to establish a new line of defense here. The price is that 70% of the Balance Star Territory will be abandoned."
Representative Zeluo frowned. He retreated too far. In fact, the current situation is not impossible to rescue. As long as the council members unite as one...
Thinking of this, the Zeluo representative shook his head and asked the council members to unite? This is too difficult and cannot be saved.
"But what should we do with the people in the Libra Star Territory who have given up? There are more than 300 civilizations there, ranging from one to two billion people to as many as five to six hundred billion. How can we just give up on them?" said the representative of the Sapphire people.
"Do you really sympathize with those people? You just feel sorry for your three fleets. If your fleet had stayed in Cadian, maybe Cadian could have persisted until reinforcements arrived, and we wouldn't be so passive now."
Representative Antilians will never miss an opportunity to ridicule his old enemy Sapphire Man.
The Sapphire representative was so angry that he didn't know how to answer.
"Seeing your frustrated expressions is the happiest moment for me today. The Titan-class battleships built at a huge cost will soon become history. Maybe the Sapphire Civilization will not be qualified to sit here at the next internal meeting." Even if the bickering has gained the upper hand, representative Antilians is still finishing the damage.
A voice interrupted representative Antilians, "The Eternal Tree teaches us not to be arrogant, nor to use the pain of others to ridicule them. It is what the strong should do to hoe the strong and help the weak."
The tree man, the representative of Anfenli civilization said in his unique ancient voice.
With a cold snort, Antilians was about to say something, but was interrupted by the Zeluo representative.
"We should follow the wisdom of the Eternal Tree. As a civilization with a long history, the Anfenli civilization deserves the respect of all Stellaris Council civilizations."
Having said this, the Zeluo representative stood up and saluted the Anfenli representative, "As for the current situation in the Balance Star Territory, the Zeluo people tend to support Antilians's suggestion. Whatever support the Anfenli civilization needs, we can put forward it. If conditions permit, we can provide it."
The Anfenli Civilization's main sphere of influence is in the Balance Star Territory, and it is one of the only two council members located in the Balance Star Territory. If Stellaris Council's internal meeting wants to abandon them, it will naturally need to give them some support.
"We don't want to abandon the Balance Star Territory. We really don't have the strength to handle the pressure from both sides. The natural disaster Swarm is already difficult to deal with, and the prophecies of the ethers have made the situation even worse. In only half a year, the Supreme Agreement will be launched."
"To be honest, this is the biggest crisis facing the entire galaxy. Every civilization must try its best. I hope that when the crisis is over, our twenty-four civilizations can still come together."
The words of the Zeluo people representative set the tone for this meeting. The Tianping Star Territory must be given up. Most civilizations have begun to express their stance, especially those whose spheres of influence are not within the scope of the cessation.
Before the representatives of the Anfenli people opened their mouths, they received a large amount of material support, including weapons, energy coins, rare resources and antimatter.
Those fortresses and military supplies abandoned by the big civilizations can be left to the Anfenli people, and they can be distributed to the civilizations in the Balance Star Territory who are willing to stick to it.
Most civilizations are selfish and profit-seeking. It is not easy for them to put down their fights and take out real money at this moment. However, the logic behind this is also very simple. The Libra Star Territory has been abandoned, but people are alive, and they can immigrate and escape.
If you leave a good impression at this time, you may be able to harvest more high-quality immigrants from the Balance Star Territory in the future, thereby expanding the strength of your own civilization.
Looking at the enthusiastic council member civilizations in the venue, the representatives of the Anfenli people first listened quietly to their speeches, and then sighed deeply and said, "Thanks for the support from the Stellaris Council civilized world, we will do our best to defend our homeland."
