"General Hu Yu." Yun San Civilization contacted Hu Yu again.

" Lord Yun San."

"The Zerg swarm situation has exceeded our expectations. We, the five Great Star Region Civilization, have just studied the Zerg swarm data and believe that it is already extremely difficult for individual Small Star Sector Civilization to fight against the Zerg swarm. Therefore, apart from the civilizations that have entered the Alliance Space, we suggest that the other civilizations choose allies to jointly build a small-scale defensive perimeter. Our Great Star Region Civilization will deploy some warships to rescue the lower-level civilizations, and you will be responsible for defense."

"Does this primitive civilization still need to be saved?"

"Of course, we need more advanced civilizations to fight the Zerg swarm."

"You rescue less advanced civilizations and then hand them over to us for protection, is that what you mean?"

"Yes, your Star Ring Alliance already has nearly ten Small Star Sector Civilization, but the number of warships hasn't increased yet. You can try to recruit familiar civilizations to fight alongside you until we get through this crisis. We can't mobilize too many warships to eliminate the swarm. This swarm's anomaly will also bring us a major shock, which might lead to a full-scale war. So you'd better unite and cooperate in the fight."

"Understood, Lord Yun San. Is there any news about the instigator of Mechanical Civilization?"

"There's almost no useful information. All we've found are low-level mechanical entities. Mechanical Civilization are also Great Star Region Civilization. If they want to hide, there's nothing we can do. Don't underestimate this crisis. Whether you can overcome it depends on yourselves. We don't have much energy to help you. We've barely managed to spare the fleets needed to rescue low-level civilizations."

"Understood, we are also rescuing nearby less advanced civilizations."

"You've done a great job. There's currently a Crystal Civilization and a Gemini Civilization within my jurisdiction. You're quite familiar with the Crystal Civilization, and I believe they'll be communicating with you soon. As for the Gemini Civilization, they greatly admire the Star Ring Alliance and specifically asked me to intercede on their behalf, hoping the Star Ring Alliance will accept them. They are also Small Star Sector Intermediate Civilization and an important force in the defense line."

"Admire us? What is there to admire about us?"

"You wouldn't understand the sorrow and frustration of not making any progress for millions of years. The Star Ring Alliance has developed to this extent in just tens of thousands of years. Such a speed of development usually evokes two kinds of feelings in other civilizations. One is envy. Although the Demon Scorpion Civilization is Great Star Region Civilization, you can see that they are very envious of you, haha, isn't that right? The other is admiration."

"That seems to be the case. Alright, we have no problem with that. More civilizations mean more power. The Star Ring Alliance's fleet size is only 200 billion, so with these two civilizations, it should be 400 billion, right? Lord Yun San, your jurisdiction Small Star Sector Civilization, doesn't it?"

"Haha, of course not. There are nearly 150 Small Star Sector Civilization in the entire galaxy. How could I only have two under my jurisdiction? You all have about ten here, don't you? Actually, you've only been rising for a short time. The other Small Star Sector Civilization are quite familiar with each other. They've already contacted each other for joint defense. They're not familiar with you, so they definitely won't come looking for you."

"That's true."

"Alright, get ready. Our fleet will soon relocate the lower-level civilization to your territory. This disaster is expected to last for an unknown period, so be prepared for a protracted war."

"Yes, sir."

After ending the call, Hu Yu immediately contacted the leader of the alliance civilization to inform everyone of the message from the Yun San Civilization. He also ordered the fleet to move all the nearby hundreds of stars into the territory. Although the alliance civilization had shrunk its territory, it would still need to expand its territory once these lower-level civilizations entered. This was especially true for some Star System-Level Civilization, whose inhabitant planets were numerous. Combined with the space required by the fleet, their territories could not be small.

Hu Yu had just finished a meeting when he received a message from the Crystal Messenger, requesting that the Crystal Territory be moved to the vicinity of the Star Ring Alliance Star Ring Alliance for joint defense.

Hu Yu admired the upright conduct of the Crystal Civilization, and the leaders of the Crystal Civilization also greatly appreciated the upright conduct of humanity, expressing their respect through envoys on multiple occasions. Hu Yu had no reason to object to the Crystal Civilization's demands, especially since the Crystal Civilization only requested land adjacent to the Alliance territory.

This is equivalent to taking over the defense of one side for the Alliance. Behind the Alliance is the endless Void outside the galaxy, and the only areas that need to be defended are the left, right, up, down, and front. Now that the Crystal Civilization is responsible for one side, the Alliance's defense work will be much easier.

"General, Fleet 549 was attacked by a swarm of insects while transporting Planetary-Level Civilization 241. The fleet is safe, but Planetary-Level Civilization 241 was affected by the battle and no longer exists."

Three days later, the patrolling fleet finally encountered the Zerg swarm head-on. In order to deal with the Mechanical Civilization, the number of patrolling Reaper squadrons increased from 100,000 to 1 million, with a total of 5,000 such fleets patrolling within thousands of light-years of airspace around the Alliance territory, totaling 5 billion ships.

"Report: Fleet 2873 encountered a swarm of insects while transporting Stellar-Level Civilization No. 37; Civilization No. 37 suffered more than half its losses."

"Order the fleet to avoid the Zerg swarm as much as possible to minimize losses to lower-level civilizations."

Ten days later, the second fleet encountered the Zerg swarm. In fact, the fleet would have avoided the Zerg swarm without Hu Yu's arrangement, but now even the Reaper fleet could not avoid the Zerg swarm, which could only mean that the number of Zerg had reached an extremely terrifying level.

On this day, the Yun San Civilization's fleet also brought ten Stellar-Level Civilization at once, which Hu Yu arranged near one of the Alliance's stars. It was Yun San Civilization did not rescue civilizations at the same time regardless of their level, just like Hu Yu. The Yun San Civilization's fleet was limited, and moving a planet would still require tens of thousands of warships to coordinate the operation.

Moreover, their warships are certainly not just for rescuing low-level civilizations; they are very likely also searching for any overlooked high-level insect and Mechanical Civilization in the galaxy. Given the limited number of warships, choosing Stellar-Level Civilization with greater potential is undoubtedly a wise move.

The Yun San Civilization Civilization's fleet continues to relocate lower-level civilizations. Initially, these were Stellar-Level Civilization, later Planetary-Level Civilization. There are tens of millions of lower-level civilizations in the entire galaxy, and now they are all being rescued by the Great Star Region Civilization. It is unknown how many can be saved. The Reaper are also doing their best to rescue nearby lower-level civilizations, trying to save as many as possible.

Soon, the number of low-level civilizations within the alliance territory reached tens of thousands, with hundreds of planets surrounding each star. Some Stellar-Level Advanced Civilization occupied two or three planets, but Hu Yu has now ordered them to relocate to a single planet. Star System-Level Civilization occupied even more planets, some numbering in the dozens or hundreds. They were also moved here by the Yun San Civilization, and Hu Yu has now ordered them not to have more than ten planets.
