Upon receiving news that the leader had arrived, the Dark Moon Civilization base commander finally breathed a sigh of relief. The leader was surrounded by the most elite military commanders. Now the base commander had received orders for all warships and planetary guard ships to retreat at full speed. Although a fleet from the Fish Horse Star Civilization was blocking their way, there were also enough Virtual Matter weapons in the rear.
The fleet retreated a certain distance, and the fourth-dimensional fleet cut out an enormous piece of four-dimensional space that appeared within the Fish Horse Star fleet. This space directly replaced the original three-dimensional universe.
The Fish Horse Star fleet seemed completely unprepared for the sudden appearance of the fleet. As soon as the four-dimensional space appeared, the Fish Horse Star warships immediately realized what was about to happen. By then, it was too late to escape, as the uncontrolled four-dimensional space had already begun to fall.
These Fish Horse Star warships were like corn in a pile of gunpowder, instantly overturned and torn apart by the violent energy. Although the dimensional reduction attack was a wide-area attack, the energy density reached a certain limit and could cause a qualitative change. Several spatial cavities have already appeared in this area.
These spatial voids, like the spatial collapse caused by the explosion of an antimatter star, are manifestations of extreme energy frenzy. The energy of dimensional reduction directly destroyed some of the Fish Horse Star warships, but most of Fish Horse Star stubbornly survived. Now that space is beginning to collapse, the remaining Fish Horse Star warships immediately dispersed and fled the battlefield.
The Fish Horse Star warships that escaped the battlefield did not go far. They did not give up their plan to destroy the Dark Moon Civilization. The number of Fish Horse Star fleets has decreased from 50 trillion to 35 trillion. The fleets of the five Great Star Region Civilization still have 6 billion ships. With the arrival of reinforcement fleets, the Milky Way civilization has gained the advantage in numbers.
"Damn it, damn it, you arrogant fool! After the battle, tell the vanguard commander Du Ka, to commit suicide as an apology!" the first leader of the Fish Horse Star Civilization cursed in exasperation.
"First Leader, please calm down. Commander Du Ka still controls the initiative on the battlefield."
"This isn't the first time Du Ka has caused damage to the fleet due to carelessness. Humans even managed to exploit a loophole in the beginning. If the grand plan of the Fish Horse Star Civilization is jeopardized, he will be the sinner of the entire civilization. Send Ci Ma over to take over as the vanguard commander. Du Ka must be immediately escorted back to the civilization to face trial!"
"First leader, Commander Ci Ma is brave and resourceful, but overly cautious. Commander Du Ka has far more combat experience than Commander Ci Ma. Our civilization has always operated covertly, and these commanders lack combat experience, so they are bound to make mistakes. Now that Commander Du Ka has gradually improved his combat level, it is not appropriate to replace him at this time."
"What you say makes sense. Let's finish this battle first and then talk about it."
"The first leader is wise."
Although the Du Ka Commander had lost a third of his combat power, he was not at a disadvantage against the Milky Way civilization, which had a numerical advantage in warships. The two sides entered a stalemate, with the combined fleet outnumbering the enemy and aided by Virtual Matter weapons, which had already halted the advance of the Fish Horse Star Civilization.
" Yun San, just received intelligence that 50 trillion ships of the Fish Horse Star fleet near the central black hole have suddenly disappeared," the Dark Moon Civilization leader said in a panic.
"Now we'll focus all our attack on one target. You all evacuate the inhabited planet, otherwise we'll be in trouble once the reinforcements from Fish Horse Star arrive. We have limited time; we must finish this before Fish Horse Star."
"On behalf of all beings of the Dark Moon Civilization, I entrust this matter to you all."
" Dark Moon, why are you saying all this? The five of us have supported each other for so many years. If you are in danger, we will naturally do our best to help. But have you thought about where you want to retreat to?" the leader of the Heavenly Peak Civilization asked.
"I've made up my mind. We'll retreat to the Mirror Sub-Universe. I suggest everyone move their bases there as well. There's no threat from the fourth dimension, and the entrances and exits are limited. Secondary Universe, the space there is strange and easy to defend, so even if the Andromeda Civilization comes to sweep through, we won't be afraid."
"Alright, we don't have a time advantage outside anyway. We can still complete the fleet construction by using the existing pipelines to transport energy. In fact, we can build more and larger pipelines to maintain our fleet production," the Tian Feng leader agreed.
"You can go if you want, we won't. Our base is well hidden; the Fish Horse Star Civilization won't be able to find it. Even if they do, we have a way out," the Demon Scorpion leader said.
"Those who want to go can go, and those who don't can stay outside. Has the exact location of the Demon Scorpion, Fish Horse Star Civilization's lair been determined?"
"It's not that easy."
" Demon Scorpion, are you kidding me? With our technology, how could we not find the Fish Horse Star Civilization civilization if it's in the Boötes Galaxy? We can just destroy Boötes altogether," the leader of the Rock Star Civilization questioned.
"Alright, you guys are great. The task of finding the lair of Fish Horse Star is yours to handle. I'm done with it."
"Alright, alright, stop arguing. Demon Scorpion, you guys need to hurry up and try your best to find the lair of the Fish Horse Star Civilization as soon as possible. That way, we can make a response sooner. Right now, we're in a really passive position."
"We've already tried our best, but this can't be rushed."
Everyone was talking amongst themselves. The battle had reached a stalemate. It was now very difficult to divert the fleet to concentrate superior forces and open a gap so that the planetary ships of the Dark Moon Civilization could escape. The two fleets were like players on a basketball court; no matter who made a move, there would be someone else to defend them.
Just when everyone thought the Fish Horse Star Civilization fleet would reinforce the Dark Moon Base, the Fish Horse Star fleet appeared near the entrance to the Mirror Sub-Universe.
Several Great Star Region Civilization still have their construction bases in the Alliance Space. They initially moved their bases to the Secondary Universe, but later, when the time advantage of the Secondary Universe disappeared, they moved their bases back to the Alliance Space. However, these major Great Star Region Civilization are not novices in war; their existence has never been separated from war.
Whether it was the struggles at the beginning of their civilization's rise, or the later battles against the Insect Race and the evasion of Andromeda, it was their experience in warfare, combining wisdom and strength, that allowed them to survive each time.
When the leaders set sail with a large fleet, they had already transferred everything in the Alliance Space back to the Mirror Sub-Universe. Now the Alliance Space is completely empty. In order to prevent the Alliance Space from being damaged in the war, they even moved the Alliance Space away from the entrance and exit of the Mirror Sub-Universe.
" The Yun San. Fortunately, we made preparations in advance. The Fish Horse Star Civilization really did have this trick up its sleeve." The leaders of the civilization who received the news were somewhat flustered.
"Very well, there won't be any Fish Horse Star warships reinforcing Dark Moon."
