The Tree Race couldn't transfer to the Conqueror, and the fleet had to buy time for the Tree Race and the fleet transferring the population. When the Tree Race planet had traveled less than two hundred light-years, the Fish Horse Star fleet arrived. Just like when they entered the Solar System, these fleets launched a fierce attack without any warning, and two-dimensional warships were constantly exposed.
At this point, Gao Jianchuan couldn't care less about anything else. The spatial attacks of the two sides were completely unequal, like one person holding a spear and the other holding a dagger. Gao Jianchuan had no choice but to order the warships to adopt the most primitive tactics: suicidal dimensional reduction.
Gao Jianchuan deployed half of the warships in the fourth dimension. The Fish Horse Star fleet had just arrived, and the Conqueror of the fourth dimension had not yet been exposed. The dimensional reduction attacks used by the Conqueror of the three-dimensional universe could not reach the Fish Horse Star warships at all.
The fleet can now pinpoint the three-dimensional universe with precision. One by one, the Conqueror, carrying giant four-dimensional spaceships, descended beside the Fish Horse Star warship and exploded at close range. The energy of the explosions overturned the Fish Horse Star warship, sending it tumbling through the air for millions of kilometers before coming to a stop, but the Fish Horse Star warship remained completely undamaged.
This left Gao Jianchuan dumbfounded, and Hu Yu, who witnessed this scene, was also stunned. Previously, the fourth dimension had been controlled by the Fish Horse Star warship, and in order to create an attack environment for the two-dimensional antimatter planet, the Conqueror had not been able to find an opportunity to reduce the entire ship's dimensions. Now, Gao Jianchuan had seized the opportunity to reduce the entire ship's dimensions, but the result was like this.
The power of the entire ship's dimensional reduction was so great that it could easily destroy even a star nearby. It had been effective in battles against other civilizations before, but now it had completely lost its effectiveness against the Fish Horse Star warships. The Conqueror had no other means to harm the Fish Horse Star fleet.
After fighting for a while, the Fish Horse Star warships did not find the Tree Race appearing. Some Fish Horse Star warships immediately left the battlefield and continued to bombard the area, constantly expanding their search range, trying to force the Tree Race planet out.
"General, what should we do? Our attacks are having no effect, and our two-dimensional strikes have failed."
"Hold them off, reinforcements will be here soon, and I'll be there too."
"Yes."
Gao Jianchuan verbally agreed, but both he and Hu Yu knew that the Conqueror were of no use other than sending people to their deaths. Even if Hu Yu arrived, it wouldn't change anything. The rescue fleet was still on its way, and coming from a place more than a million light-years away would definitely be much slower than the Fish Horse Star fleet, which was traveling tens of thousands of light-years across the galaxy.
Suddenly, the Fish Horse Star fleet seemed to have discovered something. The Fish Horse Star warships that had been left in the Solar System to strangle the Conqueror and near the Tree Race coordinates all stopped fighting and entered the fourth dimension. After a pointless resistance, nearly 800 billion Conqueror were destroyed. From the beginning to now, more than 4 trillion Conqueror have been reduced to just over 2 trillion.
Even if it's meaningless, the Conqueror still have to fight. At least they can cause some trouble for the Fish Horse Star fleet and delay their actions. Now the people are basically safe. The Fish Horse Star Civilization is difficult to detect in the two-dimensional warships. These warships have completely severed the four-dimensional network, leaving not even photon pairs. They will head towards the exit coordinates of the Mirror Sub-Universe according to the instructions they have been given.
Humans have escaped, Fish Horse Star Civilization will surely take its anger out on the Tree Race. A few of the Tree Race's elders might be able to escape, but the ordinary members of the clan will not be able to escape at all. These ordinary members are the foundation of the entire Tree Race Tree Race to grow again, even though the Tree Race is currently the slowest growing race.
At this moment, Hu Yu had already arrived at the Tree Race planet. Looking at the densely packed Tree Race people covering the land, Hu Yu was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan. He could see that the Fish Horse Star fleet was definitely chasing after him along the spatial fluctuations caused by the planet's curvature. The difference was only a little over a hundred light-years, and at the speed of the Fish Horse Star fleet, it would only take a few hours to catch up.
" Ninety-Seven, speed things up."
"General, don't worry about us, you can go."
" Ninety-Seven, what are you saying! How could I possibly abandon you? Quick, you'll be safe once you reach the coordinates designated by Academician Zeng."
"It's too far, there's no time."
"Damn it, don't give up! Fight until the very last moment, even if there's only the slightest chance!" Hu Yu shouted at the dejected Ninety-Seven.
Hu Yu thought the Fish Horse Star fleet would arrive in just a few hours, but a day passed and there was no trace of the Fish Horse Star Civilization fleet. Two days passed and there was still no sign of the Fish Horse Star fleet. In another hour, the Tree Race planet would reach the designated coordinates, and Hu Yu and everyone else secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
However, the scene that appeared before Hu Yu an hour later filled everyone with despair. The entrance to the Mirror Sub-Universe had been tightly surrounded by the Fish Horse Star Civilization fleet. All the trillions of Conqueror transporting civilians had ceased operations within trillions of kilometers of the exit. The Fish Horse Star Civilization possessed advanced technology, and further approach would likely result in discovery. Due to the severed communication, even these Superintelligent Robot were dumbfounded.
After the Tree Race planet appeared, large numbers of Fish Horse Star fleets suddenly appeared in all directions of the entire airspace. Hu Yu instantly understood why the Fish Horse Star fleet had acted earlier. The Fish Horse Star fleet already knew the exit of the Mirror Sub-Universe and guessed the human plan. They deliberately arrived at this entrance first, waiting to ambush and wipe them all out.
If humanity had scattered and fled, the Fish Horse Star Civilization might not have been able to track down all the Conqueror. Now that all the Conqueror are gathered here, it's like they've walked right into a trap.
"It's my fault. I underestimated the Fish Horse Star Civilization, plunging humanity into an abyss of no return." Academician Zeng slapped himself several times, saying regretfully.
"The responsibility isn't yours, I agree. We were too confident, thinking we could solve any problem in the past, which made us believe that humans are the smartest, without realizing that there are always people more capable than us, and that there's always something beyond our understanding."
"You old geezer, if you don't do something about this, I'll haunt you even in hell!" Wen Zhonghua suddenly shouted.
"Alas, even I am powerless to help," Daozi said dejectedly as he appeared inside the warship.
"You old bastard, you were watching the show all along. Now look what's happened, the main character is about to die."
" The Fish Horse Star Civilization has sealed off all space and dimensions. I really can't save you. You've overestimated my abilities. In reality, I'm just a cripple. Sigh." The old man took a sip of wine and shook his head.
"How is that possible? All five Great Star Region Advanced Civilization are wary of you. This Fish Horse Star Civilization is only slightly stronger than them; it hasn't even transcended the stage of Great Star Region Civilization."
"Alas, you don't know, the main body of this Fish Horse Star Civilization is not a civilization of the Milky Way at all. I didn't expect that either. If they were a civilization of the Milky Way, I might be able to think of some solutions."
