"Shut up." The RoboCop twisted his head off and threw it directly in front of the previous Wind Star People.

"I'll only ask once. If it's not right, I'll take something from you every hour."

"Yes, yes, yes, I'll tell you everything, anything I know, please spare me, sir!" the Wind Star People cried, the hellish scene having completely shattered his faith and resolve.

Why are you attacking us?

" The Fish Horse Star Civilization sent us here."

How did the Fish Horse Star Civilization know we were here?!

"Sir, we don't know. The Fish Horse Star Civilization only gave us the coordinates, nothing else. Perhaps they told their leader, but the leader didn't tell us."

"How do they want you to deal with the Xuan Star Civilization?"

"I heard from the leader that we're going to bring all the Xuan Star people to the Fish Horse Star Civilization and then blow up everything you have. Of course, we can acquire your technology. We've been searching for your technology tree all these years, and if we can't find it in a few decades, the leader said we'll have to threaten you with your people."

"Where did you get the consciousness-blasting weapon that you used to attack the Xuan Star Civilization?" Hu Yu suddenly asked.

"How... how did you know it was a consciousness shock?!"

Stop talking nonsense and answer the question.

"Yes, yes, yes, sir. This instrument was recently developed by the Fish Horse Star Civilization. With this, we are able to deal with the Xuan Star Civilization. However, this instrument has already been destroyed by our leader. Strange, sir, our leader used it on you before, why were you unharmed?"

"This is not something you should know, Xuan Star leader. You may continue."

"I have no more questions. I've already guessed the rest. Since the equipment is destroyed, it's impossible to awaken my people anytime soon. Kill all these Wind Star People."

"My lord, my lord."

As screams rang out, not a single one of the 50 million Wind Star People was left alive. The entire planet was a river of blood, with corpses strewn everywhere. The RoboCop did not hesitate or feel any emotional fluctuation. However, the few people on the warship, although they were enemies, were still living beings, and intelligent beings at that. The killing of so Wind Star People at once still shocked everyone to some extent.

Having accomplished everything, the leader of Xuan Star silently gazed at the sky. Although he was wise enough and capable of leading the Xuan Star Civilization to a powerful future, he lacked experience, and this kind of blow was difficult for him to bear for the first time.

A small spaceship entered the Number One ship of the First Star Civilization. At Hu Yu's request, the two key figures of the Xuan Star Civilization were awakened by the Xuan Star Civilization Number One. They were none other than the military commander Bi Cha and the chief scientist Feng Ye.

"The leader, the leader."

Upon seeing the leader of Xuan Star, the two uttered sorrowful cries. On their way here, Number One had already given them a general overview of the situation.

"It's alright, everything's alright now."

"General Hu Yu Bi Cha, thank you very much."

"General Bi Cha, Lord Feng Ye, it's been a long time."

"General, we never expected you to save us again."

"You guys are lucky. I'll tell you, we're setting up a system that can detect the entire galaxy. We just happened to find you during testing, otherwise, things would probably be very different now."

"Back then, despite what we did to you, you forgave us and saved our Xuan Star Civilization time and time again. I, Bi Cha, am not one to hold grudges. General, I, Bi Cha, hereby promise that if you ever need my Bi Cha, please give the order. I will not hesitate to give Bi Cha."

" Bi Cha, you flatter us. We humans don't need you to do anything. We just need to work together to fight the Insect Race."

"General Hu Yu, Bi Cha is right. Compared to you humans, our Xuan Star Civilization is utterly ashamed. You are wholeheartedly focused on the greater good, while we... alas."

"Don't be discouraged, leaders. What are your plans next?"

"The reason we left our original territory was because we were worried about being hunted down by the Fish Horse Star Civilization. For years, we've been wandering around the galaxy like stray dogs. We never expected that even at the edge of the galaxy, we still couldn't escape our fate. Fortunately, you came to our aid in time. I can't decide what to do next for now. Let's wait until my people awaken and decide the future of our civilization together."

" Xuan Star leader, we actually had ulterior motives in saving you. You've been wandering the galaxy, and you must have sensed the increasing number of insect swarms descending upon this half of the galaxy over the past ten thousand years, haven't you?"

"Yes, we've run into each other a few times."

"Civilization and the Insect Race have always been in a very delicate balance, and I feel that this balance is getting closer and closer to the tipping point. Even if the defenses don't collapse, the Zerg swarm may still launch a large-scale invasion of the half of the galaxy occupied by civilization. I would like to ask, how do you plan to ensure that the Xuan Star Civilization continues to survive under the pursuit of the Zerg swarm?"

"General, even if our Xuan Star Civilization disappears from this galaxy, we will never again associate with the Zerg swarm or the Fish Horse Star Civilization! This is the last vestige of dignity for our Xuan Star Civilization!"

"That's not what I meant. The fate of your Xuan Star Civilization is not of much concern to us humans. I just don't want you to just disappear into the galaxy. The arrival of the Zerg is inevitable. Before that, neither your Xuan Star Civilization nor we humans may have reached the stage of Great Star Region Civilization. At that time, we will just be a piece of fat meat in the Zerg's mouth."

"Let fate decide; we can't change anything."

"Heaven's will! Leader of Xuan Star, only cowards believe in the will of Heaven. Our Human Civilization has come a thousand times more arduously than your Xuan Star Civilization. Your setbacks are utterly insignificant to us humans. If Heaven exists, we will defy it, even if it means our deaths, we will have no regrets!"

"Us..."

"To tell you the truth, our Human Civilization, along with eight other civilizations, has formed the Star Ring Alliance. We share life and death, advance and retreat together. We want to take our destiny into our own hands. Neither fate nor the Great Star Region Civilization can be relied upon. The only one we can rely on is ourselves. We saved your Xuan Star Civilization Xuan Star Civilization twice because we saw its potential. That was our selfish motive. But now I am very disappointed in you. I will not force you to join the alliance, and we will not interfere in the affairs of your Xuan Star Civilization in the future. A cowardly civilization that cannot withstand failure is not qualified to join the alliance."

"Chief, I think General Hu Yu is right. Ever since we broke away from Fish Horse Star Civilization Xuan Star Civilization once had. Are we going to continue like this, so depressed?"
