"I think it would be safer to have the Allied fleet come to our aid."
"Don't worry, there's no need. The Alliance fleet can just protect this area and continue sailing towards the First Spiral Arm. Since they've made their move, they shouldn't blame us humans for retaliating in kind."
The smaller, scaled-down Exterminator fleet encountered the Gemini Civilization fleet 5 light-years from the Alliance base.
" Gemini Civilization, what are you trying to do?"
"At this point, why pretend to be deaf and dumb? Release the leader of the Fish Horse Star, or we'll raze your inhabited planet to the ground."
"With your fleet, I'm afraid it won't be enough to feed you."
"That depends on how big your appetite is."
After speaking, the Gemini Civilization fleet dispersed like blooming fireworks, rushing towards the various planets in the base from all directions. The Exterminator immediately concentrated near the inhabited planets, preparing to meet the approaching Gemini Civilization fleet.
The inhabited planets were not clustered together, but were distributed around several stars as before. It was too late to relocate them now. The Gemini Civilization fleet charged towards the Exterminator fleet like tigers descending a mountain, completely ignoring the dimensional reduction attack from the four-dimensional hypersphere.
Even with their numerical advantage Fish Horse Star Civilization Wind Star Civilization struggled to defend a single base; now, the Exterminator, completely lacking numerical superiority, face an even greater challenge in holding such a vast airspace.
Moreover, the Gemini Civilization's fleet has also mastered dimensional reduction attacks, which is undoubtedly due to technological support from the Fish Horse Star Civilization.
Soon, the first inhabited planet was affected by the dimensional reduction energy wave of the Gemini fleet, and it was blown into several huge pieces in the air, along with the more than 20 billion people on the planet who were killed in space.
Hu Yu, however, acted as if nothing was wrong, continuing to have the Exterminator desperately resist the Gemini Civilization fleet. The Gemini Civilization was merely a Small Star Sector Intermediate Civilization, and it seemed that they had absorbed a considerable amount of technology from the Fish Horse Star Civilization over the years; otherwise, their combat power could not have suddenly increased so much. More importantly, they dared to attack Human Civilization.
Although the Gemini Civilization fleet was far inferior to the scaled-down Exterminator, it had indeed reached the Small Star Sector Advanced Civilization and possessed extraordinary combat power. Soon, the second, the third, and within a few hours, more than a dozen inhabited planets were affected and destroyed, and countless civilians died.
Some of the Exterminator have withdrawn from the battle, taking the inhabited planet with them and beginning their evacuation. However, the Gemini Civilization does not seem to intend to let go of any of the inhabited planets. Although they cannot get close to the planet, they continue to jump into the fourth dimension, using the enormous energy generated by the dimensional reduction of the four-dimensional space brought by their warships to impact the planet. As long as even a trace of energy reaches the inhabited planet through the Exterminator, the consequences will be catastrophic.
"Humans, surrender."
"Fight if you want; we humans don't know the word 'surrender.'"
The scaled-down Exterminator have already lost over 10 billion, and the Twin Fleets have suffered even greater losses, with only over 100 billion still fighting. If the Exterminator weren't defending planets, these Twin Exterminator might not be enough to feed them. If the Gemini Civilization doesn't use dimensional reduction attacks, the Exterminator could easily defeat tens of thousands of them.
"That's about enough, Zhonghua, let's begin."
"I can't wait any longer."
Suddenly, a large number of Exterminator abandoned their mission to protect the planet and engaged the Gemini Civilization fleet in aerial combat. The Twin Fleet only used the four-dimensional space created by traversing the fourth dimension to launch attacks, unlike the Exterminator who used four-dimensional hyperspheres for ranged attacks.
Now the Exterminator have abandoned their defensive planets, and wave after wave of four-dimensional hyperspheres have utterly routed the Gemini Civilization fleet. However, the Gemini Civilization fleet has no intention of engaging in prolonged combat with humanity; their target is the inhabited planet. Finally, thanks to their numerical advantage, the Gemini fleet, after losing countless warships, managed to seize a complete inhabited planet from the Exterminator.
Soon after, they acquired a second inhabited planet, but their losses were enormous. On average, every ten four-dimensional hypersphere bombs could take down one Gemini Civilization warship. With over 30 billion Exterminator attacking at full force, the Gemini Civilization's fleet quickly dwindled to less than 10 billion ships.
By this time, they had also captured the fifth planet. The remaining fleet was no longer able to capture any more planets, so the Gemini fleet adopted a more direct approach, dispersing and rushing towards other inhabited planets.
The battle quickly came to an end. In addition to the more than 2 billion Gemini Civilization warships gathered around the five inhabited planets, each of the other ten planets also had one or two Gemini Civilization warships planted on it.
The landing of these warships caused immense damage to the planet, with a destructive force no less than that of a nuclear bomb with a yield of one billion tons. And this was only the landing; if these warships had exploded, not a single life on the planet would have survived.
The Gemini Civilization traded 150 billion warships for control of 15 inhabited planets, while also destroying over 30 planets. The civilian population suffered losses of over 600 billion, and the Exterminator also suffered significant losses, with less than 15 billion remaining. The Gemini Civilization ' relentless attacks made even these smaller versions of the Exterminator unable to defend themselves.
Hu Yu's actions left the Xuan Star leader and Bi Cha dumbfounded. Looking at Hu Yu Wen Zhonghua, they not only showed no signs of tension, anger, or sadness, but even had slight smiles on their faces.
"I'll let you know when it's all over, don't worry," Hu Yu said with a smile, looking at the Xuan Star leader and Bi Cha.
"Now can we talk? We hold the lives of your 300 billion people in our hands. Can we exchange that for the leader of the Fish Horse Star Civilization?"
"But I don't think so?" Hu Yu finished speaking, and all the planets occupied by the Gemini Civilization exploded simultaneously. "And now? We have two trillion people; we can handle that number."
"You!!! Madmen, madmen! Ah, the Fish Horse Star Civilization, you deserve it for provoking this mad civilization, humanity!"
"Now it's my turn to talk to you. Answer me: why are you tied to the Fish Horse Star Civilization? What promises did the Fish Horse Star Civilization make to you?"
This is a question that not only Hu Yu wants to know, but also the current leader of Xuan Star and Bi Cha most want to know: why did the previous leader agree to raise the insect swarm together with the Fish Horse Star Civilization?
"We still have a fleet worth trillions. Although you are technologically superior to us, your fleet is now so small; how can it possibly be a match for us?"
"Hmph, I know your base has been moved, but it's useless. We've deployed enough coordinate base stations throughout this galaxy, allowing us to descend from the fourth dimension to any location at any time. So don't even think about escaping. These fleets will arrive at your base before your main force returns from the defensive line and wipe you out. You can try if you don't believe me."
