"General, we also want to participate in the rescue operation. This is the Alliance's first operation, and we want to contribute to the Alliance." The dark-skinned leader of the Brilliant Star Civilization, along with the leaders of the other five civilizations, approached Hu Yu.
"I understand your feelings, but this war is not something you can interfere with. Besides, your fleet only numbers a few million ships; if you threw them onto the battlefield, they wouldn't even make a splash. Develop as quickly as possible; the alliance will definitely need everyone's help in the future."
"Us..."
"Don't worry, your Tree Race will know your intentions."
In 13705, the first ordinary spaceship carrying a gravity bomb arrived in the airspace of the Far Watcher Civilization and immediately detonated it.
A massive planetary system appeared before everyone's eyes, emerging little by little from a void, as if by magic.
A dozen minutes later, a magnificent scene unfolded before everyone: more than three thousand planets were orbiting a star. Only one of these planets showed signs of habitability; the rest were all industrial planets. Countless warships were casually docked around the various planets, numbering approximately 150 billion.
As the planet was fully revealed, the fleets quickly assembled in the outer space to prepare for battle. However, this alarming reaction did not yield any substantial results; apart from the debris of the exploding spaceships, there was nothing else in the starry sky.
"Could it have been an accident?"
On one of the warships, the leader of the Far Watcher Civilization civilization was puzzled. This leader had not lost his body, but was in a normal biological state. There were many other creatures like him here. These creatures looked like miniature giraffes, with bodies only a little over a meter long, but long, thin necks that stretched to a height of four or five meters, and above that was a small head.
"Your Majesty, is it possible that the Treant Civilization did this?"
"Impossible. This is clearly a technologically advanced civilization. That lurking tree-man hasn't made a sound at all. I was originally hoping to use him to find the tree-man's lair. If it was the tree-man who did it, that guy would definitely make a move."
"Your Majesty, no technological civilization dares to provoke us. Even without the rules of Great Star Region Civilization, we can handle most Small Star Sector Advanced Civilization. Moreover, there are only about 20 Small Star Sector Advanced Civilization. Even if they have some grudges, none of them dare to truly provoke us. We currently have over 2.5 trillion fleets in the Insect Zone, and we know the territories of other Small Star Sector Civilization. If they provoke us, we'll simply storm their territories and see who can stop us!"
"It might really be an accident, but it's better to be cautious. Order the fleet to hide the territory again. Our inhabited planets are too important to lose."
"Your Majesty, should we slow down the development of our fleet? Our inhabited planet has become a breeding ground for brains, and all the mature inhabitants have been harvested. The population is now less than 10 billion. If we slow down and allow the population base to increase, our fleet will be able to develop faster in the future."
"There's no other way. We're the main force in the encirclement and suppression of the mid-tier Zerg swarm. It's a mission mandated by the Great Star Region Civilization; if we fail, they'll abandon us."
"Other civilizations have only lost productivity and time, but we have lost our entire race. In the past two million years, nearly ten trillion of our people have been destroyed. Your Majesty, shouldn't we also learn from other technological civilizations and develop unmanned fleets?"
"This is a path of no return. We were forced to choose this path for survival, and then the Insect Race Wars followed, giving us no chance to breathe. Our people were originally of lower intelligence, and in recent years we have been training scientists in the hope of returning to the normal course of civilization development. But now we have less than a million scientists capable of conducting research, and top-notch ones are even fewer. If it weren't for this technology, we wouldn't have been able to reach the Small Star Sector Civilization stage. There are gains and losses in everything."
All the planets of the Far Watcher Civilization disappeared from the vast universe once again. A month later, an ordinary spaceship arrived at the same location at high speed and detonated a gravity bomb without hesitation. The Far Watcher Civilization's territory was once again forced into the vast universe. If this was still considered an accident, then the Far Watcher Civilization would have no reason to exist.
Hundreds of billions of warships were deployed simultaneously, heading in all directions to search for potential enemies. The remaining warships were responsible for transporting all the planets from their original positions to the center of the galaxy, moving them thousands of light-years away to another empty space.
The search warships flew for over three thousand light-years from all directions before returning. The less advanced civilizations along the way were terrified and wished they could flee immediately. However, the Far Watcher Civilization ' fleet did not attack these less advanced civilizations; it simply conducted a thorough search before leaving.
There is another Small Star Sector Intermediate Civilization within this area. However, this Small Star Sector Intermediate Civilization is jointly defending the same front line with the Far Watcher Civilization, and its relationship with the Far Watcher Civilization is quite good. There have been no conflicts between the two civilizations, and they have no reason to provoke the Far Watcher Civilization.
The Far Watcher Civilization once again concealed its territory, deploying 50 billion warships within a few hundred light-years of the territory to serve as sentinels.
None of this escaped the eyes of the miniature spaceship. On an ordinary uninhabited planet two hundred light-years away from the territory of the Far Watcher Civilization civilization, a miniature spaceship set off again. Soon it reached the coordinates of the Far Watcher Civilization's territory, and then the miniature spaceship exploded.
Hu Yu didn't know if the gravitational bombs from the miniature spaceship could force the Far Watcher Civilization to come out, but whether they came out or not wasn't important. The key was to attract their attention. As long as the Far Watcher Civilization knew they were being harassed again, they would definitely reappear.
As expected, the gravitational vibrations of the miniature spaceship did not reveal the territory of the Far Watcher Civilization. However, a few hours later, they returned to the vast universe. This time, they did not relocate but maintained their current state, except that the warships patrolled more frequently.
These harassments not only disrupted the rhythm of the Far Watcher Civilization but also depleted a significant amount of their fleet's energy.
"We can begin. Decoy, move out!" Wen Zhonghua commanded.
Five hundred million Grim Slayer soon appeared a thousand light-years away in the territory of the Far Watcher Civilization. Behind these fleets was an even larger fleet, with more than five hundred billion Grim Slayer.
"Your Majesty, a massive fleet has appeared. Satellites report that 500 million warships from other civilizations have appeared in this direction, and over 3 billion warships in another direction. They are approximately 1,000 light-years away and are hurtling towards us at breakneck speed."
"They dare to attack us with such a small number? They're courting death! Order the fleet to wipe them out!"
"Sir, should we report to the Great Star Region Civilization? The enemy fleet is very likely also from Small Star Sector Civilization. At least in terms of speed, they're already on par with us."
"No need. They started this war; it has nothing to do with us."
"This is bad, Your Majesty. Behind this fleet of 500 million ships is an even larger fleet, numbering as many as 50 billion. They have been hiding for a long time, and our satellites have been constantly destroyed by them. We only discovered their existence now."
"As expected, there was a conspiracy. If a fleet of over 3 billion warships dared to harass us, wouldn't that be a joke? No wonder they harassed us repeatedly from the beginning; they were trying to distract us."
"Sir, should we report to the Great Star Region Civilization now? The enemy numbers are too high."
"No need. If the enemy's strength surpasses ours, there's no need for them to hide. They're definitely trying to use these 3 billion-plus ships to lure out most of our fleet. Once most of our fleet leaves our territory, their main fleet will take advantage of the situation. These 3 billion warships are just something they deliberately made us discover. Look, there are even these small vessels among these 3 billion-plus warships. They're clearly just there to make up the numbers and lower our guard."
"Your Excellency, what do we do now?"
"It's simple. Deploy 100 billion warships to intercept their main fleet. Of the 3 billion warships here, deploy 10 billion to intercept them. Leave the remaining 40 billion warships to guard the territory and be responsible for its security, especially the security of this inhabited planet."
