" Flying Bear, this won't do. The human fleet is far too powerful for these Small Star Sector Intermediate Civilization to contend with. I told you not to use this piecemeal tactic, and now look what's happened."
"Alright, go ahead with a large-scale offensive. Your Falling Star Civilization fleet can lead the charge."
"You!! Fine, fine, fine, what do we do now? You tell me."
"The first attack was ineffective. Our 80 billion warships have broken through less than 0.5 light-years. Let the remaining fleet withdraw, and we'll think of another way."
"What can we do? Humanity's defenses are so dense, there are almost no blind spots," the Falling Star Civilization said in frustration.
"Don't worry, we've already brought some good stuff from the base. Now we just need to keep putting pressure on humanity."
"So, should we just wait here? Or should we harass them, fire weapons to destroy part of their defense system?"
"No need. There are too many of these space weapons. Even if we use them all, we won't be able to fundamentally harm humanity. Just make sure they don't escape."
25,000 light-years from the battlefield, a small fleet of one million warships has set sail, speeding towards the human base at 5,000 times the speed of light. These warships are filled with powerful magnetic fields, but no effective weapons can be seen.
In several other directions, three fleets were also traveling rapidly, heading directly towards the location of the Star Ring Alliance. Judging from their urgency, they were heading in the right direction.
The combined fleet had been inactive for almost five years, and Hu Yu increasingly felt that something was wrong, but no matter how hard Hu Yu tried, he couldn't figure out what was wrong.
Encirclement without attack was useful in the planetary era, but it has almost no effect in the fleet era, especially in the stage of Small Star Sector Civilization. The energy in the galaxy is abundant. Unless there is a high-intensity war, extracting energy from space is enough for the fleet to survive. There are still hundreds of stars in the fleet. Just staying there for billions of years is not a problem.
" Old Hu, this stalemate isn't a solution; it's wasting our development time."
What suggestions do you have?
"General, I have a plan, but I don't know if it will work," Gao Jianchuan said.
"Why didn't you say so sooner!" Wen Zhonghua said urgently.
"I just remembered that too."
" Jianchuan, what's your plan? Tell me."
"Since the combined fleet outside isn't coming in, and we can't get out either, why don't we open an exit in our defense perimeter, let them in, and then immediately close the exit and run outside ourselves? That way, our positions will be reversed, allowing us to trap them like turtles in a jar."
"It's not very feasible. Even if they manage to get in, they'll only send a few fleets as a probe. But we can still give it a try. Even taking out a portion of them would be a good outcome."
"Then I'll activate the space defense system immediately," Gao Jianchuan said excitedly.
"Hmm, let's give it a try."
Once the order was given, the space defense equipment began to maneuver in all directions. A dozen hours later, a circular passage with a diameter of tens of millions of kilometers was cleared, and there was no space defense equipment in this passage.
The passage is 3 light-years long. At the speed of these fleets, it would only take about 6 hours to reach the human base inside the defensive perimeter. The space equipment wouldn't even have time to return. This was the time that Gao Jianchuan specifically reserved for the joint fleet. If the passage were too narrow and the defensive equipment returned quickly, they might not dare to enter.
" Flying Bear, why hasn't your secret weapon arrived yet? Now that there's a gap in the defenses, it's the perfect time for us to attack. I suggest we launch a full-scale offensive and completely wipe out the human fleet."
"I suggest we wait and see; who knows what tricks humans are playing?"
"Any trick is futile in the face of absolute strength."
"Absolute strength? Can this fleet be called absolute strength? Our weapons will arrive soon. Once they arrive, all these defense systems will be destroyed. Then we can launch a full-scale attack, which will be much more effective."
"Are we just going to let this great opportunity slip by?"
"If you don't want to give up this opportunity, you can try it yourself. But don't blame us for not warning you, although humanity's strength is not yet considered Small Star Sector Advanced Civilization, it has already surpassed that of all Small Star Sector Intermediate Civilization. Coupled with their various bizarre technologies, even in a one-on-one fight, you might not necessarily gain much of an advantage."
"Hmph, your Flying Bear Civilization is too cowardly. Once we conquer Human Civilization and force them to hand over their defense system, you won't get it unless you offer something that entices us."
"If you can obtain it, we will provide you with technology that will excite you."
After the Falling Star Civilization finished speaking, it immediately assembled 20 billion warships and mobilized the fleets of the other two civilizations, totaling 100 billion ships, and stormed into the passage that Gao Jianchuan had cleared.
"A bunch of arrogant and brainless idiots, do they really think humans are so easy to deal with?" The Flying Bear Civilization muttered to itself after the Falling Star Civilization left.
The combined fleet rushed into the passage, and Gao Jianchuan immediately readjusted the defense equipment to close the passage. At this time, the Falling Star Fleet was speeding along with the fleets of two Small Star Sector Intermediate Civilization, trying to enter the interior before the defense system could reseal the passage.
The Alliance fleet has quietly retreated to the interior of the defensive perimeter. All the stars and planets have been moved, leaving empty spaces. More space defense equipment has also quietly moved into the previously empty areas, awaiting the arrival of the Falling Star fleet. The Falling Star Civilization is unaware of the Alliance fleet's situation, but Falling Star Civilization every move is under human surveillance.
"Good lad, should I praise your intelligence or curse the Falling Star Civilization for being stupid? They actually dared to break in," Wen Zhonghua said with a grin.
"Chief of the General Staff, no, it's not that. I think the Falling Star Civilization was too arrogant. They thought they were Small Star Sector Advanced Civilization. After the first attack, they had some understanding of our strength, and even though they knew there was a problem, they didn't take it seriously."
"Arrogance will make them pay the price. You all keep a close eye on them; I'm going to wipe out all of these fleets."
"No problem. Leave the specific command to Yang Fan and me. You and the general can just watch from the sidelines."
"Well, don't be arrogant. The Falling Star Civilization is Small Star Sector Advanced Civilization. We haven't witnessed their true strength yet."
Seven hours later, 100 billion warships had stormed into the defensive perimeter, a vast space with a diameter of thousands of astronomical units. The fleet that entered the space discovered that not a single human warship could be seen. After searching the space at an extremely fast speed, they confirmed that it was an empty place.
