"It's a pleasure to cooperate. That's indeed our only condition. Of course, if you're willing to step in and kick us while we're down, we're welcome to do so. Once we get what's rightfully ours, we'll leave, and then the Sextans will be yours."
This situation was also occurring in the territories of the other two Great Star Region Civilization. Just as Li Zhixiong had predicted, these civilizations did indeed hate the Giant General Civilization to the core, but dared not resist. Now that they had a chance to turn the tide, how could they give it up? Moreover, even if humanity failed, the Giant General Civilization would not know that they had betrayed them.
The Dreadnought have withdrawn at Li Zhixiong's request. Now that the war is over, there's no point in trying to intimidate them anymore. Besides, Hu Yu doesn't dare to actually destroy all the planets in the Sextans. The Dreadnought withdrew because Dreadnought warships are more similar to those of the Giant General Civilization.
Each Conqueror carries robots that are currently extracting energy from the fourth dimension to create Reversed State to modify the Dreadnought. After simple external modifications, the Dreadnought are now eight or nine parts similar to the warships of the Giant General Civilization. If one does not know about the Giant General Civilization, the warships modified by the Dreadnought and the Giant General Civilization's own warships would be considered to be warships from the same civilization.
The Dreadnought split into two groups: one heading towards Sextans B, and the other towards NGC 3109, over a million light-years away. These two fleets would then recruit human allies from these two star systems.
However, both star systems are relatively small, and it's hard to say whether there are suitable allies inside. Sextans B is closer, Dreadnought fleet quickly arrived through the fourth dimension. Sextans B should have an advanced civilization, otherwise, with the two star systems so close, the Giant General Civilization would definitely have extended its influence to Sextans B.
Sure enough, the miniature spacecraft's probes revealed that Sextans B contained Great Star Region Advanced Civilization and a Great Star Region Intermediate Civilization. Compared to Sextans A, the atmosphere in Sextans B was much more normal, and the miniature spacecraft had already detected several low-level civilizations fighting each other.
The Dreadnought Fleet quietly docked in the fourth dimension outside Sextans B, awaiting the fleet heading to the NGC 3109 system. Fifty years later, the second fleet also arrived at the NGC 3109 system. The micro-ships began to enter the interior of the system for reconnaissance, but to everyone's shock, the NGC 3109 system was already completely silent.
The entire galaxy was littered with stellar debris and warship fragments, along with rampant, violent energy surges. Based on the situation at the scene, the war must have occurred only a few hundred years ago, and many of these warship fragments clearly belonged to civilizations in Great Star Region Civilization.
The Dreadnought deployed more micro-ships, which carefully navigated the battlefield, gathering information bit by bit. Not a single living being could be found in the entire NGC 3109 system, whether advanced civilizations or ordinary plants and animals; they had all perished in the war.
The corpses of these dead creatures can still be seen on many planets. They could have continued to survive in the NGC 3109 system, but the epic war took away all their fragile lives.
What exactly happened in the NGC 3109 system? Judging from the current situation, it seems like an invasion by a foreign race. No matter how fiercely a local civilization fights, there are limits. Although it cannot be ruled out that a war within the NGC 3109 system destroyed it, the possibility of an invasion by a foreign race is much greater.
Hu Yu immediately ordered the Dreadnought Fleet to return, leaving only the miniature ships to continue gathering information. A civilization capable of destroying such a large star system must be a top-tier Great Star Region Civilization, or even Galactic-Level Civilization. If Hu Yu were to destroy a star system now, he could indeed do it, but he couldn't do it so thoroughly.
Two-dimensional bombs can silently destroy the warships of all civilizations in a star system, but some advanced civilizations always have secret places to prevent infiltration. These places cannot be invaded by either two-dimensional or four-dimensional forces. Moreover, the current situation of NGC3109 is clearly one of mutual warfare, otherwise these celestial bodies would not have been reduced to wreckage.
If Li Zhixiong hadn't come here to find help, humanity might never have known about NGC 3109, or even if they did, it would have been tens or hundreds of thousands of years later. By then, new life might have already evolved there, and it wouldn't be surprising if civilization had appeared. Some planets have evolved life much faster than Earth. In the evolutionary history of all civilizations, Earth is among the slowest, taking more than 4 billion years for intelligent life to emerge.
Since NGC3109 can't find any help, Sextans B has enough. The Giant General Civilization only has 50 trillion warships left, while the advanced civilization fleet in the Sextans B Great Star Region Advanced Civilization has reached 100 trillion, and the intermediate civilization has also reached 50 trillion warships. This is more than enough to deal with the Giant General Civilization.
The 500 billion Dreadnought directly attacked the Firefly Civilization, the Great Star Region Advanced Civilization. Most of the Firefly Civilization's fleet was near their base, and since they were not engaged in combat, their operations were relatively loose.
The Dreadnought solidified space and then launched a dimensional reduction attack, instantly destroying billions of Firefly Civilization warships. However, the Firefly Civilization fleet quickly reacted, using their powerful energy to break free of the solidified space and launch a counterattack against the Dreadnought.
" Giant General Civilization, you dare to come here! Hmph, you're courting death!"
A message that made Hu Yu and Li Zhixiong extremely happy came back: it seemed that the Giant General Civilization had already extended its reach to Sextans B. However, the Firefly Civilization was no pushover either, and the Giant General Civilization probably didn't gain any benefits, otherwise Sextans B would have long been within the Giant General Civilization's sphere of influence.
Hu Yu immediately inquired with the leader of the Firmament Civilization, but the Firmament Civilization Giant General Civilization completely unaware of the matter. Hu Yu then changed his approach, asking if the Giant General Civilization's fleet had ever left Sextans A on a large scale. The leader of the Azure Sky Giant General Civilization pondered for a moment and told Hu Yu that the Giant General Civilization's fleet had indeed left on a large scale twice, and it seemed that when they returned, the Giant General Civilization's fleet had been greatly reduced, as if they had experienced a brutal war.
Hu Yu understood. The Giant General Civilization must have considered that if attacking the Firefly Civilization was unfavorable and led to a sharp reduction in the number of its fleet, the Great Star Region Civilization of Sextans might take the opportunity to overthrow their rule. Therefore, each attack on the Firefly Civilization was carried out in secret.
" Firefly Civilization, prepare to die, you bunch of trash, hahaha, Sextans B will belong to my Giant General Civilization sooner or later, and then I'll kill you all, leave no one alive." Li Zhixiong arrogantly cursed.
The Dreadnought, with only 500 billion ships, were already at a disadvantage against trillions of Firefly Civilization warships. Meanwhile, another massive fleet was on its way, which Hu Yu had already scouted out. This fleet was the Aurora Civilization, another Great Star Region Intermediate Civilization in the Sextans B star sector.
