"Find the ringleader, by any means necessary," Bi Cha ordered.
Hu Yu could already guess what would happen next. He still vividly remembered the scene of Xuan Star Xuanxing leader killing the invading Wind Star People. However, it was understandable. If it were him, Hu Yu believed that he might be able to do the same. When hatred reaches its extreme, it is not difficult to cut the enemy into a thousand pieces.
Sure enough, a Xuan Star warrior used his mechanical arm to lift up a Fish Horse Star People. The Fish Horse Star People was only one or two meters tall, but the Xuan Star warrior, wearing mechanical armor, was already a ten-meter-tall giant.
"Speak! Who is the highest-ranking person in charge here?" the Xuan Star Warrior demanded fiercely.
"Kill me," the Fish Horse Star People said.
"Killing you won't be that easy." With a snap, one of the Fish Horse Star People's tentacles was forcibly torn off. "You have two more chances."
The Fish Horse Star People howled in pain but remained silent. The Xuan Star warrior broke another leg of the Fish Horse Star People. Unable to bear the pain any longer, the Fish Horse Star People lost consciousness. The Xuan Star warrior had no patience for him and threw him to the ground. Then, the giant mechanical foot crushed the Fish Horse Star People into a bloody pulp.
This scene was repeated again and again by the other thirty-odd Xuan Star warriors. The Fish Horse Star People kept retreating, but the space here was only so big, and where else could they retreat to? They huddled together in fear, and all kinds of screams filled the entire underground space.
The Xuan Star warriors had already left behind thousands of Fish Horse Star People corpses at their feet. It was truly a scene of blood flowing like a river and corpses strewn everywhere, like a living hell. The Xuan Star warriors were like demons and killing gods, completely disregarding the fear and anger of the Fish Horse Star People.
"There, there, that's our leader." Finally, one of the Fish Horse Star People broke down, pointing with his tentacles at one of the Fish Horse Star People.
The Xuan Star Warrior threw the Fish Horse Star People aside, took a few steps forward, stepped on the pile of Fish Horse Star People, and grabbed the target Fish Horse Star People.
"You're the leader of the Fish Horse Star?"
" Xuan Star Civilization, you will regret this."
"You don't need to worry about that. Answer my question, are you the leader?" With that, the Xuan Star warrior annihilated dozens of Fish Horse Star People with a single shot. "Don't keep me waiting, I don't have that much time."
"Yes, I am indeed the leader of the Fish Horse Star Civilization. Let them go."
"Very well. Order your fleet to disarm. Our leader can guarantee that your Fish Horse Star Civilization will not be wiped out; otherwise, the name Fish Horse Star will cease to exist in the Milky Way."
"The fleet command base isn't on this planet. My second-in-command is commanding the fleet on another planet. I cut off contact with him the moment you entered this planet, so capturing me won't help."
"At least your people can save their lives for now."
The Xuan Star warriors had taken control of the entire underground base, but unfortunately, it was just a place similar to Earth Four, with various management centers, but the truly important place was not here. Bicha was so angry that he Bi Cha his chest and stamped his feet, regretting that he had chosen the wrong place at the critical moment. If he had chosen another planet, the Fish Horse Star fleet might have been completely controlled by now.
The Xuan Star warriors ordered the Fish Horse Star leader to shut down the planet's electromagnetic shielding. An incredibly clear and massive holographic projection appeared in the airspace outside the planet, showing the Fish Horse Star leader being controlled by the Xuan Star warriors.
All the Fish Horse Star Wind Star warships instantly fell silent, and the entire battlefield suddenly became eerily quiet, with only endless fragments of warships still flying in the air.
Hu Yu was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect that the Xuan Star warriors could actually capture the leader of Fish Horse Star. This achievement was the result of billions of Xuan Star warriors. How should they make use of it? The forces behind Fish Horse Star still haven't appeared at this point. The leader is an extremely important figure for a civilization, especially in the interstellar era. The leader is not only the navigator of the civilization, but also its spiritual pillar.
The Fish Horse Star warships have now completely surrounded this planet and another planet, making it impossible for the Exterminator and Purger to break through given their current numbers.
"Humans, Xuan Star Civilization, release our leader immediately, or not only you, but all civilizations of the Star Ring Alliance will be hunted down by the Fish Horse Star Civilization." A message was sent from another planet.
"Give up control of the fleet, and we'll spare your leaders' lives," Bi Cha without backing down.
The Xuan Star Warriors firmly controlled the leader of Fish Horse Star, making a rescue impossible. Fragile lives are nothing more than candles in the wind in the face of the technology of the Small Star Region; a gentle breath would extinguish them.
Neither side was willing to back down, and the battlefield once again fell into a stalemate. The Exterminator dared not launch a forceful attack, lest the Fish Horse Star People, driven to desperation, abandon their leader, and all the hard-won gains would be in vain. The Fish Horse Star fleet dared not attack even more, for the leader's deputy was, after all, just a deputy, and dared not risk the wrath of the world by abandoning their leader.
At this moment, a fleet of 150 billion warships was quietly approaching the Alliance base. All of this did not escape Hu Yu's notice, but Hu Yu did not take any action until the fleet was less than ten light-years away from the Alliance base. Only then did the base send out a small group of Reaper.
"General Hu Yu, it's the Gemini Civilization fleet. What are they planning to do?" the leader of Xuan Star asked.
"They're the ones we've been waiting for."
"Were the Gemini Civilization and the Fish Horse Star Civilization together?"
"Why did the Fish Horse Star Civilization know that we were consciously attacking weapons? I suspected the Crystal Civilization, but the Fish Horse Star Civilization didn't seem to know much. The Crystal Civilization knew us very well. If the Crystal Civilization was an informant for the Fish Horse Star Civilization, the Fish Horse Star Civilization must know even more. So I suspected the Gemini Civilization. In addition, the Gemini Civilization's enthusiasm seems a bit excessive. The leader of the Crystal Civilization and I have a very good personal relationship, but he never mentioned joining the Star Ring Alliance. This Gemini Civilization suddenly wants to join. Something is definitely amiss."
"Then why did you order the rest of the Alliance fleet to withdraw? You only have 50 billion Reaper, oh, smaller versions of the Exterminator. That's not enough to protect the civilian planets."
"If the Star Ring Alliance fleet doesn't leave, will the Gemini Civilization dare to come? The leader of Xuan Star doesn't need to worry. Since I'm waiting for them to come, I naturally have corresponding arrangements. My previous public announcement was partly to find my leader, and partly to mislead the Gemini Civilization, allowing them to recklessly gather information about us. These 50 billion miniature Exterminator are prepared for the Gemini Civilization. If they don't have enough confidence, I'm afraid they won't dare to come."
