The Space Barrier defense system immediately contracted to a region of three light-years, increasing the density of the defense system. Hundreds of stars were also moved to the center of the base to replenish the fleet's energy.
"General, all the inhabitants of civilized societies have been hidden in space outside the galaxy."
"Very good, Ninety-Seven, thank you."
Although the Heavenly Peak Civilization and Yun San Civilization said that these Small Star Sector Civilization would not attack inhabited planets, once a war breaks out, it will be difficult to control, especially for civilizations of this level. A single energy shock could destroy an entire planet. Therefore, Hu Yu ordered Ninety-Seven to take all the inhabited planets of the alliance to the outer reaches of the galaxy and hide them using the Tree Race's concealment methods. Apart from leaving a limited number of a few dozen industrial planets for resupply, the rest were also moved.
Apart from the fleet and various war-related facilities, there is nothing else here. Escape is impossible, and even if one escapes now, there will be endless troubles later. Only a fierce battle can shatter the greed of these civilizations.
"General, I've also brought with me the Tree Race's Elder of a Hundred Billion."
" Ninety-Seven, every elder you sacrifice is one less to lose. Unless absolutely necessary, I still do not wish for you to participate in the battle."
"General, our Tree Race, from top to bottom, is willing to stand with humanity through this difficult time. The elders are no longer listening to my commands; nothing I say will make a difference."
"Alright, your Tree Race will serve as the mobile force, going to provide support wherever there's a gap. But instruct the elders to be extremely careful; this time, our opponents include Small Star Sector Advanced Civilization."
"We are prepared and will follow the general's orders completely."
" Old Hu, an unfamiliar fleet has been spotted 1000 light-years away."
"What's meant to come will come; how many will there be?"
"50 billion ships. They look like Small Star Sector Advanced Civilization. Oh no, fleets have been spotted in the other two directions as well. Several fleets have also appeared at this location. Including the fleet we just saw, there are now a total of 8 fleets. Two of them should be Small Star Sector Advanced Civilization, and the other 6 are from Small Star Sector Intermediate Civilization. Each fleet has around 50 billion ships."
"That's about it. It seems they've mobilized half of their fleets from their territories. They were probably sent at the behest of the Dark Moon Civilization or Rock Star Civilization. If I'm not mistaken, there should also be a fleet from Small Star Sector Advanced Civilization hidden behind them as a backup."
"General, I've already spoken with the leader. All 50 billion warships of the Carina Civilization will be deployed to the war, and all warships will be under your command," Dongdong rushed over and said.
"General, we've arrived too." The leaders of the six civilizations of the alliance also rushed over.
"Leaders of the North Star Civilization and the Brilliant Star Civilization, your fleets can directly participate in the battle. Gaining practical experience is also very important for you. However, leaders of the Zhalong Star Civilization and the Quaking Star Civilization, your fleets are still relatively weak. The task of supplying energy to the front lines will be assigned to you. As for the South Star Civilization and the Sand Star Civilization, you will remain on the base planet for the time being, responsible for the energy supply to the base."
"Very well, I will follow the general's orders."
"Our Human Civilization has over 80 billion ships, the North Star Civilization and the Brilliant Star Civilization each have over 30 billion, and the Carina Civilization has over 50 billion, totaling approximately 200 billion warships. Even adding our 100 billion Stinger mini-warships, our numbers are only half of the enemy's fleet. In terms of strength, we are far behind. The enemy openly has two Small Star Sector Advanced Civilization."
"General, just do what needs to be done. Even if all these warships are destroyed, it doesn't matter. Control of the fleet has already been handed over to you."
"Although our fleet strength is inferior to the enemy's, we have a spatial defense perimeter, so it won't be easy for them to break in. Now I'm reorganizing all the fleets, forming 20 fleets in total, with every 10 billion warships as a squadron, Stinger forming 10 separate fleets. Mr. Dongdong, do you know where these civilizations' territories are located?"
"The two Small Star Sector Advanced Civilization are the Falling Star Civilization and the Flying Bear Civilization. They are both under the command of the Falling Star Civilization, although this subordinate relationship is very weak, just like our Star Ring Alliance. Although we are nominally under the command of the Yun San Civilization, we only accept the Yun San Civilization Civilization's orders when fighting the Zerg Swarm. At other times, we are not under the Yun San Civilization's jurisdiction."
Which civilization is closer to us?
" The Flying Bear Civilization is approximately 25,000 light-years away."
"It's their bad luck. Zhonghua, immediately reorganize the fleet. After reorganization, the 20th Fleet will set off immediately with planetary cannons. No matter what happens here, we must teach the Flying Bear a lesson."
"I know, Laozi love doing these kinds of sneaky things."
"Fleets 1 through 6 will defend against the Flying Bear Civilization fleet; 7th Fleet through 12 will defend against the Falling Star Civilization; Fleets 13 through 18 will each defend against a Small Star Sector Intermediate Civilization; Fleet 19 will remain in the rear to defend supply bases. The Tree Race elders will serve as a mobile force; if any enemy fleet is weakened, they will immediately deploy to strike while the enemy is down, ending the war as quickly as possible and freeing up fleets to deal with other civilizations."
"Although each of the 13th to 18th fleets only has 10 billion ships, the Reaper ' defensive capabilities are beyond the reach of these Small Star Sector Intermediate Civilization. Given enough time, wiping them out won't be a problem. On the other hand, with the other 12 fleets, 60 billion against 50 billion, plus the Stinger, we don't have much of a chance of winning. We must wait for the other fleets to be free to use their superior numbers to overwhelm the enemy."
"Furthermore, we should not strike first, lest we give them a handle to use against us. We should also try to delay as much as possible. The longer we delay, the greater the deterrent effect of the First Fleet will be. Perhaps then we can subdue the enemy without a fight."
The eight civilizations, with a total of 400 billion warships, have appeared on the outer edge of the defensive perimeter, surrounding the entire base. For a time, countless warships were moving back and forth in the air. They have not yet broken through the Space Barrier's defensive perimeter and are only operating on the outer edge.
"Humans, open the passage, or we'll force our way in!!!" A message was sent out from the Falling Star Civilization fleet.
"What a joke! You come here to run wild on the territory of Human Civilization, and you expect us to applaud and welcome you?"
"Humans, I can't be bothered to waste words with you. Hand over your defense system, or I'll raze this place to the ground!"
" Falling Star Civilization, is it? Although you are Small Star Sector Advanced Civilization, it seems your strength and intelligence don't match. Be careful not to be used as a pawn."
"I don't need your attempts to sow discord. I'll say it again: open the passage!"
"Fool, you think you can just surrender? Come on in if you dare!"
These defense systems were built by Hu Yu over tens of thousands of years. A portion of them were destroyed by the Mechanical Civilization last time, but Hu Yu Hu Yu recalled the rest and re-deployed them after returning to the galaxy.
