"Gentlemen, I also hope that everyone can rebuild their homes. Although things have stabilized now, this is ultimately not your home. This operation is not as simple as we imagined. I remind everyone to preserve your strength, and remember that."
"General, why is this?"
"I know everyone is eager to reclaim their homeland, but now is not the time. Let those who cultivate civilizations handle the fighting. Our fleet will provide support from the rear, occasionally offering assistance. The Conqueror and Endeavor will remain the main force, leading the attack to encircle and kill the higher-level insects."
"General, are you afraid that someone will take advantage of our weakened state to cause us trouble?"
"That's possible. Before we set off, we'll temporarily move all the inhabited planets to the Solar System, leaving the fleet to provide concentrated protection. Number One, this time we're going all out. The safety of the base is in your hands. Can you complete the mission?"
"Boss, absolutely no problem. If even one of the Alliance creatures has a problem, I'll cut off my own head."
"This is not something to be taken lightly. There are nearly a trillion civilized beings here; the responsibility is immense and no small matter."
"Don't worry, boss, this is our home too, and we will absolutely not allow anyone to cause trouble."
Does anyone have any further questions?
"No, I'll follow the general's orders."
"No, we will do as the general says and preserve our strength."
"In that case, everyone prepare yourselves. Zhonghua, issue the order: all fleets under the Alliance shall immediately reorganize and set sail in three days."
A massive fleet of hundreds of billions of ships blotted out the starry sky. With Hu Yu's command, all the warships activated their warp drives and sailed majestically toward the defensive line.
The operation of countless warp drives transformed space into a turbulent ocean. The warships, densely packed, obscured the entire starry sky. If the Milky Way were Earth's sky, then these fleets would be like dark clouds, a massive, oppressive mass. Vast stars appeared as fragile candles in the wind before this fleet, which stretched for hundreds of light-years in both length and width.
Seeing this awe-inspiring fleet of civilization, Hu Yu sighed. Civilizations are truly like termites. If the galaxy were a dam, it would probably have been eaten away by these termites long ago. This is probably the second largest fleet since the birth of the Milky Way. The largest is probably still the Snow Tribe fleet, after all, they have already conducted intergalactic operations.
Over the years, Hu Yu had also wanted to visit the Andromeda Galaxy, but Hu Yu didn't dare. Several million light-years was no longer an insurmountable distance, but the Andromeda Galaxy was much larger than the Milky Way. The Snow Tribe chief had once said that the Milky Way was just a small, insignificant galaxy, yet the Andromeda Galaxy had defeated the Snow Tribe back then, demonstrating its immense power.
If he were discovered in the Andromeda Galaxy and attracted their attack, it would be troublesome. Hu Yu did not believe that the civilization that defeated the Snow Tribe back then had perished. Even if they had perished, there must have been a more advanced civilization. Hu Yu dared not take the risk. He was not strong enough and had to be timid in everything he did.
The defensive line was already bustling with activity. A hundred trillion warships had all gathered on the defensive line, instantly submerging the original Small Star Sector Civilization fleet in a sea of ships. The warships on the entire defensive line were piled up like mountains, especially in the middle section, where the number of warships could not even be described as a sea of ships.
On the other side of the defensive line, the swarm of insects had also gathered. Hu Yu could clearly feel that there were many more insects in the Insect Zone than before, and there were also a large number of giant insects. It seemed that the swarm of insects also knew about the civilization's intentions. This was not surprising. The intelligence of insects was no less than that of civilized creatures. It was just that their social structure made it impossible for them to develop technology, and the insects had no intention of developing technology.
The Conqueror were responsible for maintaining order on the defensive line and dispatching fleets. Now that humanity had become Great Star Region Civilization, the original hundred or so Small Star Sector Civilization could only obediently follow orders. Although they were somewhat envious of humanity, there was nothing they could do; strength spoke for itself, and humanity's strength had far surpassed theirs.
Several warships from Great Star Region Civilization landed on the defensive line. These were the warships of five Great Star Region Advanced Civilization, including the Yun San Civilization. These cultivated civilizations had seen Great Star Region Civilization warships before, but they were seeing the creatures of these civilizations for the first time. The generation of creatures that the Great Star Region Civilization fleets used to save the lower-level civilizations had basically all died.
"Broadcast to the entire galaxy: All civilizations along the defensive line, all civilizations in the Milky Way, for over two million years, the insectoids have invaded our homeland, killed our people, and destroyed our galaxy. Now is our time to fight back! Our minimum objective in this battle is to advance our defensive line by 20,000 light-years. If possible, completely reclaim the galaxy. Unleash your full power, attack the insectoid swarm, reclaim our homeland, reclaim the galaxy!"
The Conqueror took the lead and launched the first antimatter bomb. This was just the beginning. As the antimatter bomb exploded in the open air, the defense line erupted in chaos.
All the civilization's warships swarmed out in a massive, overwhelming barrage, rushing towards the distant swarm of insects. Countless spatial attacks instantly reached the swarm, tearing it to shreds. However, the swarm was now so large that it was affecting the galaxy's operation. If it weren't for the proximity to the central black hole, whose powerful gravity kept the galaxy running, the entire galaxy would likely have descended into chaos.
The civilization fleet formed various formations to avoid close contact with the Zerg swarm. These warships were not particularly defensive, and once attacked at close range by the Zerg swarm, they had little power to retaliate.
The defensive line instantly became a super crusher. Although there were many warships, they were still not enough to deal with some of the giant insects. This time, the number of giant insects in the insect camp was many times greater than before. Giant insects kept rushing into the civilized fleet. Dozens or even hundreds of warships were destroyed in a single impact. The defensive line was instantly breached, and more insects rushed in to engage the fleet in close combat.
Conqueror and Endeavor traverse the 100,000-light-year defense line, rushing to the aid of those in dire need. Now, even a giant insect of the 25th tier can hardly pose a threat to the Conqueror, unless Conqueror stop moving and allow the insects to attack. The insects, with their enormous size and immense strength, can still destroy the Conqueror, but the Conqueror will not give the insects that chance.
Warships roared and howled, while insects writhed and bared their teeth. The battle line, stretching for 100,000 light-years, was already fiercely contested. Many civilizations moved nearby stars and detonated them directly among the insect swarms. The explosions of stars, weapons, and warships illuminated the defensive line as if it were daytime.
