The number of Conqueror in the Mirror Sub-Universe is increasing at an incredible rate. Although the Dark Moon Civilization and others did not inform Hu Yu, Hu Yu still dispatched two trillion two-dimensional Conqueror. These Conqueror carried the latest Virtual Energy ball weapons and Virtual Matter weapons, as well as two-dimensional fragments and two-dimensional antimatter bombs.

Hu Yu hoped to eliminate a portion of the Fish Horse Star Civilization civilization's warships through a sneak attack. The Conqueror was like a ghostly assassin lurking in space, ready to launch a fatal blow against the Fish Horse Star Civilization at any moment.

At this moment, the Dark Moon Civilization's territory was in a state of utter chaos, like a boiling pot of water. Although the Dark Moon Civilization's remaining fleet was outnumbered, it managed to hold off the attack from the Fish Horse Star Civilization Civilization's fleet thanks to its defensive system, which had been built up over billions of years.

Because the fourth dimension was sealed off, all the warships could only fight in the three-dimensional universe. Space was ravaged by powerful energy, and even if the fourth dimension were not sealed off, these warships would not be able to enter the fourth dimension. The Dark Moon Civilization knew that the Fish Horse Star Civilization could directly add a dimension to the three-dimensional space. In order to prevent the Fish Horse Star Civilization from traversing space through the extra dimension, the Dark Moon Civilization always kept space in a broken state.

While maintaining the fragmented state of space, the Dark Moon Civilization fleet relied on the Virtual Matter space-based defense system to resist step by step. Virtual Matter weapons cannot be defended against as long as they are matter; they can only be passively consumed or simply Virtual Matter.

Countless Virtual Matter weapons roamed the entire airspace, far exceeding the number of the Fish Horse Star Civilization fleet. The Fish Horse Star Civilization fleet could only rely on its manipulation of space to prevent these Virtual Matter weapons from getting close to the warships. However, at this time, space had been shattered by the energy of both sides, making it extremely difficult for the Fish Horse Star Civilization fleet to manipulate space.

The Fish Horse Star warship was constantly being hit by Virtual Matter weapons, but thanks to its massive size and thick armor Fish Horse Star, it managed to hold out against these Virtual Matter bombs. Even if dozens of Virtual Matter bombs hit a single Fish Horse Star warship, it could still fight as long as they did not hit Fish Horse Star parts.

"First Fleet, Second Fleet, disperse and prepare to activate the Space Millstone to clear this airspace of Virtual Matter bombs. Fourth Fleet, Fifth Fleet, assemble! Target: Dark Moon Civilization's planetary ships. Third Fleet, maneuver on the periphery to prevent the Dark Moon Civilization from escaping!" Aboard a large, corncob-shaped warship, the Fish Horse Star general waved his arms and gave the order.

By this time, the number of Fish Horse Star warships that had entered the Milky Way had reached 150 trillion, almost equivalent to the combined fleets of the five Great Star Region Advanced Civilization. However, if it weren't for the Insect Race invasion, the fleets of the five Great Star Region Advanced Civilization in the Milky Way would not have been less than those of the Fish Horse Star Civilization.

As the command from the Fish Horse Star general was given, 20 trillion warships began to disperse in the airspace, advancing in multiple directions. Another 20 trillion warships had already assembled into a dense formation, preparing to attack the Dark Moon Civilization's planetary ships.

The Dark Moon Civilization was not to be outdone. Although its fleet was smaller, it was fighting a desperate battle for the sake of its inhabitants' planetary ships. Some of its warships escorted the planetary ships and began to retreat. However, the Fish Horse Star Civilization did not give them a chance to escape. The Dark Moon Civilization knew that its travel speed was slightly slower than that of the Fish Horse Star Civilization. If the Fish Horse Star Civilization Civilization's fleet was not completely annihilated, the planetary ships would not be able to escape.

The Space Millstone has been activated. It is a small mill with a diameter of more than a thousand astronomical units, much smaller than the Space Millstone that the Fish Horse Star Civilization created at the entrance of the Mirror Sub-Universe last time. The mill rolls forward continuously, and the Dark Moon Civilization fleet takes cover to avoid being caught in the Space Millstone.

The Dark Moon Civilization was aware of this move by the Fish Horse Star Civilization, and its fleet was constantly on guard against the Fish Horse Star Civilization fleet. This time, the Fish Horse Star Civilization's Space Millstone destroyed not many Dark Moon Civilization warships; only hundreds of thousands of Dark Moon warships that couldn't leave in time were destroyed. This number was negligible for both sides.

However, the Fish Horse Star Civilization's objective was not to destroy the Dark Moon Civilization's warships, but to destroy the Virtual Matter weapons in this space. The Virtual Matter weapons were small in size and moved very slowly in the broken space. The Fish Horse Star Civilization took advantage of this time difference to clear out all the Virtual Matter weapons in the Space Millstone in one fell swoop.

These Virtual Matter weapons were continuously destroyed, and soon the virtual particles would dissipate and disappear with the ubiquitous warship wreckage and energy on the battlefield. A safe passage was cleared, and the fourth and fifth fleets of the Fish Horse Star Civilization immediately swarmed in through this passage, following the millstone towards the distant Dark Moon Civilization planetary spaceship.

The Dark Moon Civilization commander immediately ordered the warships to risk assembling and prepare to confront the Fish Horse Star Civilization fleet. Behind them were the inhabitant planet's ships, and if the Fish Horse Star fleet broke through the defenses, the consequences would be unimaginable.

The Fish Horse Star warships also began their all-out assault, surging forward through the channels created by the Space Millstone. Apart from Virtual Matter, the Dark Moon Civilization seemed to have no more effective attacks to stop the steel torrent formed by the Fish Horse Star Civilization fleet.

"All available Virtual Matter weapons, charge forward and hold off the Fish Horse Star fleet! Hurry! Hurry!" the Dark Moon Civilization commander ordered anxiously.

Virtual Matter weapons continuously flew in from all directions around the First and Second Fleets of Fish Horse Star, constantly bombarding the Fish Horse Star warships. One Fish Horse Star warship after another was consumed by the Virtual Matter, but for every warship lost, a spaceship from the Fourth and Fifth Fleets would be added to the millstone formation.

Although the Fish Horse Star fleet was constantly being destroyed, and its losses once exceeded those of the Dark Moon Civilization, the number of ships destroyed was still small compared to the total number of ships in the fleet. This was because the Space Millstone formation of the warships was constantly moving at high speed, and the speed of the Virtual Matter weapons could not keep up with the Fish Horse Star warships.

However, the sheer number of Virtual Matter weapons was overwhelming, sometimes leaving the Fish Horse Star Civilization's warships with no way to avoid them, which is why they chose to ram them. Each Fish Horse Star warship would consume a large amount of Virtual Matter weapons when it chose to ram.

At the same time, countless robots and various small spaceships flew out from the Fish Horse Star warships, which effectively helped the Fish Horse Star fleet block most of the attacks from the Virtual Matter weapons.

"First echelon, charge forward and ram the Fish Horse Star fleet directly!" Seeing that even the Virtual Matter could not effectively stop the Fish Horse Star fleet, the Dark Moon Civilization commander had no choice but to resort to a one-on-one attrition tactic.
