"This is just one of my ideas. Actually, even if we personally send troops to forcibly attack the Fish Horse Star warship, it wouldn't be a big deal. Great Star Region Civilization might not even mobilize for such a small-scale battle. It's just a precaution. The most important thing now is how to get the Xuan Star Civilization into the alliance."
"The old man said there's a problem with the current leader of the Xuan Star Civilization and that we must replace him. We don't know what the problem is, though. That old man always speaks in a half-hearted way."
"Chief of the General Staff, do you still remember what happened in Yuanshan?" Academician Xiao asked.
"I remember. What's wrong? Oh, Academician, are you saying the leader of the Xuan Star Civilization has been taken into custody?"
"That's certainly possible."
"Academician, you may not be familiar with the Xuan Star Civilization. It is definitely not a civilization controlled by the Zerg swarm. I think there must be other reasons behind what Mr. Daozi said about the leader having problems, but I've thought about it for a long time and still can't figure it out."
"Hmm, if that's the case, then there's another possibility."
"Academician, speak quickly, speak quickly!"
" The Xuan Star Civilization's joining the Fish Horse Star Civilization's camp must be because the Fish Horse Star Civilization gave them some kind of benefit. If they want to completely get rid of the Fish Horse Star Civilization's control, they must return this benefit to the Fish Horse Star Civilization; otherwise, the Fish Horse Star Civilization will definitely not let the Xuan Star Civilization go."
" The Xuan Star Civilization was merely an assistant to the Fish Horse Star Civilization. I don't think it possessed any significant technology. Moreover, from what we understand, the Xuan Star Civilization's achievement of becoming Small Star Sector Civilization wasn't due to the Yuma Fish Horse Star Civilization Fish Horse Star Civilization them with technology. If it were, Mr. Daozi wouldn't have considered them to have much potential," Hu Yu analyzed.
"It might not be technology, nor items; otherwise, the old man wouldn't have made the Fish Horse Star Civilization give up the opportunity to replace their leader. If only the leader of the Xuan Star Civilization receives this benefit, then there's only one possibility."
"It's a secret, or rather, an agreement!" Hu Yu guessed the answer.
"Indeed, the real secret about raising insect swarms is a secret that low-level civilizations like the Wind Star Civilization and the Mu Star Civilization could never know. Moreover, this secret must also involve an agreement. Mr. Daozi said that if the Fish Horse Star Civilization succeeds, the entire galaxy will be in turmoil. If the Xuan Star Civilization and the Fish Horse Star Civilization reach an agreement, it is very likely that they will not attack the Xuan Star Civilization after the Fish Horse Star Civilization or its mastermind succeeds."
"Are the Xuan Star Civilization stupid? They actually believe in this kind of agreement?"
"The leader of the Xuan Star Civilization may have been influenced, threatened, or frightened to make this decision."
"Academician, then we should find a way to capture the leader of the Xuan Star Civilization. Wouldn't that make it easy to find out the truth? The Xuan Star Civilization's beings should be easy to control, right?"
"Chief of the General Staff, we can't get this secret, and it's best if we don't know it for now, otherwise it will cause big trouble."
"That's true. If it were such an important secret, the Yuma Fish Horse Star Civilization certainly wouldn't have let us capture the leader of the Xuan Star Civilization."
"That's right. The only possibility is that we kill the leader of the Xuan Star Civilization, then try to negotiate with the new leader. With our current strength and situation, the Fish Horse Star Civilization will definitely not clash with us before completing its plan, and the Xuan Star Civilization will then have the possibility of breaking away from the Fish Horse Star Civilization."
"Academician, the Xuan Star Civilization is an extremely proud civilization. They might be very willing to break away from the Fish Horse Star Civilization, but joining our alliance will probably be difficult, especially since they will definitely know it was us who assassinated their leader."
"That's true, but compared to the future of the entire civilization, I believe they will make the appropriate choice. Only by breaking free from the control of the Fish Horse Star Civilization will the Xuan Star Civilization have a future. Take the first step out, and no one can predict what will happen next."
"Alright, I'll convene an alliance military meeting immediately to see what ideas everyone has."
At Hu Yu's invitation, the Alliance held its first military conference. Although this operation was more beneficial to humanity, it was also aimed at strengthening the Alliance's power. In addition, the extermination of the Mu Star Civilization required focusing on these Star System-Level Civilization, so soliciting everyone's opinions was an essential step.
The leaders and high-ranking officials of various civilizations arrived at the conference room, where Hu Yu succinctly explained the general plan and main objectives of the operation.
"General, no matter what's inside the Mu Star Civilization, as long as you call the call, our Brilliant Star Civilization will be the first to respond. Over the years, we have received so much help from humanity, and now that it's for the alliance, we should contribute even more."
"Our Quaking Star Civilization is also willing to mobilize unconditionally. Although our Quaking Star Civilization has the smallest fleet, with only 800 million ships, we are willing to deploy all of them."
"All 1.2 billion warships of our Sand Star Civilization have been mobilized."
"Our entire fleet will also be deployed."
"If needed, our Tree Race is willing to mobilize all its elders," the new Tree Race Chief, Ninety-Seven, stated.
"Alright, alright, alright, I understand everyone's intentions. However, the Mu Star Civilization has 100 Small Star Sector Advanced Civilization. These are beyond your capabilities. Furthermore, neither humanity nor the Tree Race can reveal themselves this time, otherwise, we might incur punishment from the Great Star Region Civilization. Therefore, we need to carefully plan how to defeat these 100 Small Star Sector Advanced Civilization."
"General, our six Star System-Level Civilization possess approximately 10 billion warships. Defeating the Mu Star Civilization should not be a problem."
"Indeed, nearly half of the Mu Star Civilization's warships were destroyed by us 20,000 years ago, leaving only about 300 million ships. Their population has also dwindled to less than 10 billion, and their entire industrial system has ceased to exist. In the past 20,000 years, they have not only had to develop their population and rebuild their bases, but also help the Fish Horse Star Civilization feed the Insect Race. Moreover, the Fish Horse Star Civilization does not want the Mu Star Civilization to become too powerful; their current fleet size is at most around 2 billion. We have an absolute numerical advantage."
"In that case, General, when shall we depart?" the leader of the Zhalong Star Civilization asked anxiously.
"No rush, everyone. We need more time to prepare. The Fish Horse Star Civilization civilization's warships have stronger attack and defense capabilities than our Reaper. Now, if you were to destroy one hundred of our Reaper, what would you do?"
"This..."
"Everyone, please feel free to speak your mind."
"General, it's not that we have reservations, it's that we really have no other choice," said the leader of the North Star Civilization.
"Yes, General, the strongest offensive weapon we currently possess is only antimatter; it's impossible for it to harm the Reaper," said the leader of the South Star Civilization.
"General, the warships of the Fish Horse Star Civilization wouldn't have armor like the Reaper, would they?" asked Situhei, the chief scientist of the Brilliant Star Civilization.
"That's right, there really isn't. Their armor isn't like that; it's more likely made of neutron-degenerate matter, otherwise it couldn't achieve such a high level of defense."
"General, we haven't obtained a sample to conduct an analysis, but we can speculate. Neutron-degenerate matter is unlikely because its mass is too great. The Fish Horse Star warship is 50 kilometers long; even with only a few meters of armor, its mass would be terrifying. The Fish Horse Star warship couldn't possibly move around so nimbly."
