Even cutting radishes with a sharp blade can't match their speed in killing insects. Although the Reaper are also very powerful, Hu Yu knows that they are still inferior to these warships. This batch of Reaper has only completed the deployment of the Fourth Reversed State; other offensive technologies have not been modified. Only the latest Reaper will be equipped with more powerful space weapons.

These warships are enormous, almost twice the length of the Reaper. They have a sharp design, attack swiftly, and waste no energy with each attack. It is clear that their technology is among the best of the Small Star Sector Advanced Civilization, and is no weaker than the Reaper.

Suddenly, Hu Yu realized something. Although he was seeing these warships for the first time, their attack methods were so familiar.

" The Fish Horse Star Civilization!!!"

Among the Small Star Sector Civilization, Hu Yu couldn't think of anyone else besides the Fish Horse Star Civilization possessed such formidable attack methods and combat power. Although these warships were quite different from the corn-shaped warships he had seen before, and other civilizations would never associate the two types of warships together, Hu Yu was certain that these were warships of the Fish Horse Star Civilization.

" Old Hu, what a small world! What should we do? Should we teach these bastards a lesson?"

"Endure!!! Now is not the time, and their fleet numbers a full 100 billion ships, while we only have 20 billion. How can we possibly fight them?"

"That's strange. Didn't the Fish Horse Star Civilization raise insects? Why would they come here to kill insects?"

"Let's wait and see what they're up to. But they are indeed killing insects right now. Even if we have the ability to take action, now is not the best time. Don't worry, we will avenge the Fish Horse Star Civilization sooner or later."

The Reaper had already reached the edge of the insect swarm and were engaged in a fierce battle with the insects—or rather, a battle to kill the insects, as the insects were simply no match for the Reaper.

The two fleets were only a few hundred million kilometers apart. Hu Yu did not send any messages to the other side, nor did the other side send any messages back. This further confirmed Hu Yu's suspicion that the other side was the Fish Horse Star Civilization.

In the interstellar era, two advanced civilizations fighting at such close range would certainly verify each other's identities. If they were familiar civilizations, they would greet each other, just like individual humans. Acquaintances greet each other, and strangers ask each other's names. The fact that neither side is taking the initiative to contact the other can only mean one thing: both sides know each other's identities and have something to hide.

After the Reaper joined the battle, the destruction speed of the Fish Horse Star warships seemed to slow down considerably. Presumably, the Fish Horse Star Civilization knew that humans had guessed their identity and was on guard against them. However, Hu Yu ignored the Fish Horse Star Civilization and devoted himself wholeheartedly to the insect-killing war.

Hu Yu believed that at this moment Fish Horse Star Civilization would absolutely not dare to do anything to the Reaper fleet, not even a small move, Great Star Region Civilization might be spying on the battle situation in this space at any time.

Hu Yu had been speculating about which Great Star Region Civilization was the force behind the Fish Horse Star Civilization. The Yun San Civilization and Heavenly Peak Civilization he had encountered so far were not bad; they were both civilizations with a sense of justice. In particular, the Heavenly Peak Civilization seemed to have a good relationship with Mr. Daozi, so it was unlikely that it was the mastermind behind the scenes.

The Yun San Civilization is gentle and appears to be at peace with the world. They are also dedicated to serving the safety of the galaxy and do not seem like the mastermind behind everything. Although the Demon Scorpion Civilization behaves strangely, they are straightforward and have clear likes and dislikes. They do not seem like the kind of civilization that is good at scheming and plotting.

The only civilizations we haven't met yet are the Dark Moon Civilization and the Rock Star Civilization. Last time, when the nine major civilizations besieged the alliance's territory, it was definitely one or both of these two civilizations working together behind the scenes. However, this alone is not enough to determine that they are the masterminds behind the Fish Horse Star Civilization.

Since entering the Small Star Sector Civilization, Hu Yu has kept the matter of the Fish Horse Star Civilization, never mentioning it, and also instructed the fleet not to mention anything related to the Fish Horse Star Civilization, as if he had forgotten about it.

Hu Yu feared that the mastermind was spying on humanity from the fourth dimension. If Hu Yu knew how difficult it would be to spy from the fourth dimension without being detected by the Small Star Sector Civilization, he wouldn't be so cautious. Without knowing, Hu Yu could only choose to handle the situation cautiously. In any case, he didn't have the strength to deal with the Fish Horse Star Civilization, so there was no point in talking about it.

Even if it's not said aloud, everyone has never forgotten it. Everyone is waiting for the fleet to become stronger. Only when the fleet is strong enough to contend with the Fish Horse Star Civilization will it make sense to talk about these things.

"Humans, long time no see, hehe." A few days later, the fleet received a message.

"It really was you guys!!!"

"Your growth rate is indeed too fast, so fast that it's a little frightening to us."

"We will never forget what you did to us humans, but rest assured, we won't do anything to you now. Don't hide anything, just focus on killing the insects."

"Hehe, you're getting more and more arrogant. Okay, let's just stay peaceful for now."

The Fish Horse Star Civilization fleet resumed its extermination speed; each of their warships could easily slice through space, making insect extermination particularly easy for them.

The Reaper were also quite fast, their insect-killing speed was basically on par with that of the Fish Horse Star Civilization Fish Horse Star Civilization. It was unclear whether the Yuma Star civilization had launched a full-scale attack. The Reaper ' energy consumption was significantly faster than that of the Fish Horse Star Civilization's warships. In terms of energy efficiency, the Reaper were less than half that of the Fish Horse Star Civilization.

Over the next few months, fleets from dozens more civilizations arrived. Some of these civilizations were ones Hu Yu recognized, such as the Hydra Civilization and the Flying Bear Civilization, but many more were new to Hu Yu.

Among these civilizations, some avoided humanity like the plague, such as the Hydra Civilization and Flying Bear Civilization. Upon seeing a human fleet, they immediately circled around to another corner of the insectoid swarm to fight. Others were extremely indifferent to humanity. As a newly emerging Small Star Sector Civilization, Hu Yu politely greeted each civilization, but some only responded indifferently, while others were incredibly enthusiastic.

Just like human society, civilizations have a hundred different personalities, just as there are a hundred different ways of life. A warm heart is not necessarily sincere, and a cold heart is not necessarily looking down on humanity. Hu Yu understands this very well. It is extremely difficult for civilizations to establish trust with each other. Therefore, each civilization in the alliance is trusted only after being evaluated by the fleet from multiple perspectives.

Civilization's fleet has reached over 3 trillion, but the number of insect swarms has not decreased at all under the attack of these warships. On the contrary, it has become more and more numerous, as if insects from the entire galaxy are gathering here.
