"General, Chief of the General Staff, how can we fight like this? The Fish Horse Star warship is like a rock, impervious to both soft and hard tactics." Faced with the Fish Horse Star warship, Li Zhixiong was also at a loss.
"Try to stop them. The other warships will soon reach the depths of the Mu Star Civilization's territory. Our goal is not to defeat the Fish Horse Star warships, nor do we have the capability. As long as we cripple the Mu Star Civilization and inflict losses on the Fish Horse Star Civilization, we will have achieved our operational objective. Also, try to bring some people over from the breeding planet to find out what's going on."
"Yes, General, I will do my best."
But how could they stop the Fish Horse Star warship? Given the current situation, even if the Grim Slayer rammed it with all its might, it wouldn't be able to cause the slightest damage to the Fish Horse Star warship. And up to this point, the Fish Horse Star warship hadn't launched any attack, watching the Grim Slayer's clumsy performance as if it were a show.
Just as everyone was racking their brains for a solution, the Fish Horse Star warship suddenly moved. It wasn't that the warship was moving, but rather that there was an energy fluctuation. A few seconds later, more than 500,000 Grim Slayer were silently cut in two, three, as if sliced through by a sharp knife. There were no explosions, no fires, and the warships were broken off so easily.
Even the Xuan Star Civilization couldn't break the Reversed State Armor, but it was like tofu in front of the Fish Horse Star warship. If you look closely, you can see that even the atoms are broken in these cut surfaces. The Grim Slayer were only focused on defending against the space compression of the Fish Horse Star warship and formed a dense formation. In this moment, the Fish Horse Star warship reaped half of them with a single slash.
"What kind of attack is this! General, our armor is like paper."
"This should be spatial cutting," Academician Zeng said from the side.
"Space cutting?"
"Spatial cutting is dividing space at a spatial level. To put it another way, it's like cutting water with a knife; the fish in the water are also cut along with it."
"Academician, I know how to cut fish, and I know how to eat fish, but how do you cut space?"
"We don't know yet. If we did, we would have equipped the warships with them already. But we'll find out later."
" Zhixiong, let's retreat immediately."
The remaining Grim Slayer immediately activated their warp drives, preparing to escape, but it was too late. With the second energy burst from the Fish Horse Star warship, not a single Grim Slayer remained. Hu Yu had no choice but to activate the detonators and magnetic field loading devices still functioning inside the warship. The energy spheres blasted away the wreckage of the warship, and the magnetic field lines returned the Reversed State Armor to its original state, releasing energy into the air.
"Humans, I knew you'd come. This time, I'll show you the true strength of Small Star Sector Civilization. The Xuan Star Civilization's strength as a newcomer to a Small Star Region is utterly insignificant."
"So what? You only have a hundred warships. I don't believe you can stop all of our warships."
"Do you think that destroying the Mu Star Civilization will result in significant losses for us?"
"At least it will cause you some trouble, and that's enough. We'll collect some interest first. Sooner or later, we humans will march on your Fish Horse Star Civilization's territory and completely annihilate you."
"Hahaha, anyone can talk big. We'll talk when you have the strength. But you have indeed progressed very quickly. Perhaps I should report this to the civilization's leader and discuss whether to completely exterminate you humans. As for the Mu Star Civilization, even if you destroy them, we can find another civilization to replace them at any time. There are plenty of such civilizations; if we want, we can have ten thousand, let alone one or two. Your real purpose is to find the secrets of the humans here who are just like you, isn't it!"
"So what if it is?"
"Hahaha, the humans here have multiplied for countless generations, and after all sorts of brainwashing, they don't even know where they came from. How could they possibly know the secrets you want? How naive."
"Then stop talking nonsense and let's see who's faster!"
"Very good, interesting, let's begin."
After speaking, the Fish Horse Star warship turned around and headed straight for the Grim Slayer were deep in the territory of the Mu Star Civilization. When humans first saw the Fish Horse Star spaceship as Patrols after leaving the Solar System, they were almost terrified by its speed. However, more than 5,000 years have passed in the blink of an eye, and now the speed of human warships is not much slower than that of the Fish Horse Star warship.
However, whether 5000 times the speed of light is the full speed of the Fish Horse Star warship remains unknown. Upon seeing the Fish Horse Star warship pursuing them, the Grim Slayer immediately increased the distance between them. The Mu Star Civilization consists of four planetary systems with more than 130 planets, nearly 100 of which are used to support humans. They have more than 30 inhabited planets with a population of over 300 billion, located at the center of their territory. The entire territory is distributed in an equilateral triangle, spanning two light-years. This high-density territorial distribution must have been designed to facilitate human husbandry and reduce the chances of being discovered.
Two light-years. At the speed of the Grim Slayer, it would only take two and a half hours to reach the center of the territory, but the Fish Horse Star warship is even faster, taking only one hour and forty-five minutes. The battle just now lasted no more than half an hour from start to finish. This is the fastest defeat in human history.
When the Grim Slayer were still 15 minutes away from the center of the Mu Star Civilization's territory, the Fish Horse Star warship arrived. The battle was a foregone conclusion; the Grim Slayer had already given up attacking and charged directly towards the center of the territory without any regard for the consequences.
After annihilating hundreds of thousands of Grim Slayer, the Fish Horse Star warships abandoned their aerial ambush plan and instead arrived at the center of the Mu Star Civilization's territory ahead of the Grim Slayer. The Mu Star Civilization had more than 30 inhabited planets, each of which could only be allocated 3 Fish Horse Star warships, but each planet was allocated 600,000 Grim Slayer. With three against 600,000, even if the Fish Horse Star warships were incredibly fast, they could not defend against it.
Instead of distributing their warships evenly, the Fish Horse Star Civilization concentrated 50 warships to protect one of the planets, which was clearly the location of the Mu Star Civilization's leadership and high-level institutions. The other 50 warships were used to intercept and attack the Grim Slayer in the nearby airspace.
The leaders of the Mu Star Civilization could only send their own warships to hold off the Grim Slayer warships. Although they had 1 billion warships, these warships were to the Grim Slayer what the Grim Slayer was to the Fish Horse Star warships—no matter how many there were, it was useless. Everyone discovered that the Mu Star Civilization's warships actually had a large number of operators inside. As expected, they were a backward civilization. Even though they had reached the advanced stage of the Star System Level, they were still backward, and they didn't even have a remote control method.
Faced with the onslaught of the Mu Star Civilization Grim Slayer, the warships of the Fish Horse Star warships, they could still save some of their inhabited planets.
The most terrifying were the Fish Horse Star warships, which moved through the Grim Slayer fleet as if it were empty. The Grim Slayer continued to advance at the cost of destroying tens of thousands of ships per second. The short 10-minute journey was incredibly difficult for the Grim Slayer. Faced with the Grim Slayer ' all-out attack, the Fish Horse Star warships began to show signs of exhaustion. After all, the Grim Slayer had an absolute numerical advantage, and Grim Slayer kept breaking through the Fish Horse Star warships' defenses. The Fish Horse Star warships had no choice but to abandon the warships behind them and chase after the ones in front to ambush and kill them.
Little by little, the Grim Slayer finally closed in to within a minute's distance of attack range. While the two sides were locked in combat, no one noticed that a small spaceship, no more than 5 meters long, emerged from the interior of the planet that fed humans, hundreds of kilometers away. As soon as it appeared, it immediately entered warp drive mode and vanished into the territory of the Mu Star Civilization.
