Hu Yu quickly led his fleet to the Boötes Galaxy. Wen Zhonghua, Gao Jianchuan, and the others were overjoyed to see Hu Yu leading such a large fleet and to hear news of Luo Zhigao. However, the war was the priority and it was not the time for reunion. They had to stay at their posts. With such strong support, everyone's confidence was boosted.
With the addition of Hu Yu's new fleet, the strength on one side of the Milky Way increased significantly, and the pressure on the Super Fortress rapidly decreased. This time, countless warships directly blocked the front of the Super Fortress, and endless energy and space were poured into the path of the Super Fortress, and even onto the Super Fortress itself.
Even though the Super Fortress possessed immense energy, it was simply too large. Coupled with the considerable number of Milky Way fleets and the addition of new forces, the Super Fortress was finally brought to a complete halt. No matter how hard the pilots of the Fish Horse Star Civilization tried, the Super Fortress could no longer advance an inch.
This behemoth could only move forward by brute force, and its maneuverability was many times worse than that of a warship. No matter which direction it maneuvered, the fleet could arrive in its direction of advance in advance to intercept it.
"First Leader, the Milky Way has suddenly gained over two hundred trillion main warships. The fortress is blocked and cannot advance."
"How did you do your intelligence work?! Where did these fleets come from? Why weren't they reported before?" The first leader of the Fish Horse Star Civilization was furious.
"First Leader, some of the newly joined fleets don't seem to be from the Milky Way. Based on our database comparison, they should be from the Blazing Sun Civilization of the Large Magellanic Cloud."
"Hmph, the Blazing Sun Civilization, is it? I'll remember that. As for the intelligence officer, he should atone with his life. He said before that it was impossible for a large fleet to appear in the Secondary Universe, but look what happened, these fleets have appeared again, disrupting our plans time and time again."
"First Leader, we can't entirely blame the intelligence officer. Our operations have been exposed, and the Milky Way civilizations aren't pushovers. Otherwise, we wouldn't have had to painstakingly build this up for so many years. We must get to the Milky Way as soon as possible. These next few thousand years are the best time. If we miss this opportunity, we don't know how long we'll have to wait. Commander Ci Ma has been urging us many times."
"I understand, initiating the second-level workflow of the Super Fortress."
"First Leader, if we initiate the Level 2 procedures, it might give the Milky Way civilization's fleet an opportunity. Although they are slightly weaker than us, their numbers are too great, and I'm afraid something might go wrong."
"Don't worry, they can't shake the Super Fortress. Execute immediately!"
"Yes, First Commander, you can respond within 24 hours."
Inside the Super Fortress, countless creatures and robots from the Fish Horse Star Civilization busied themselves. With their efforts, several enormous passages were cleared, each with a diameter exceeding 100,000 kilometers. However, there were only four passages in total on the flat side.
The exits of these passages remained closed. The Super Fortress slowly rotated, pointing one of the passages towards the densest concentration of the Milky Way blocking fleet. The fleet in this direction mainly consisted of over two hundred trillion warships from the Rock Star Civilization and other Great Star Region Intermediate Civilization. The Rock Star Civilization was slightly weaker, so its fleet was more densely packed.
The more than 200 trillion warships were spread over an area of more than 100,000 kilometers. When they saw that the Super Fortress seemed to have the intention to advance, all the warships launched a fierce attack again.
Suddenly, the barrier at the exit of the passage in the direction of the Super Fortress collapsed under the impact of violent energy and spatial deformation, creating a hole tens of thousands of kilometers wide. Moreover, as the attack continued, the hole continued to grow larger, which excited all civilizations.
Although the hole appeared somewhat abruptly, no one paid any attention at the moment. After repeated Super Fortress, even if there was a black hole inside, it would likely have exhausted its energy or had its internal structure destroyed by the fierce attacks, leading to the Super Fortress finally being breached.
"Charge!" the leader of the Rock Star Civilization commanded excitedly.
Before the Rock Star Civilization's fleet could move, the fleets of other Great Star Region Intermediate Civilization had already rushed towards the cave entrance. The Rock Star Civilization was naturally not to be outdone, and its fleet instantly accelerated to 0.6 times the speed of light. With its powerful mobility, these fleets rushed ahead of all the other civilization fleets.
The Conqueror had been roaming the flanks, also caught sight of the breach, less than a minute later than the Rock Star Civilization. Hu Yu was also somewhat suspicious about this suddenly appearing breach, but Hu Yu quickly dismissed his doubts. Once he broke into the Super Fortress, the sabotage would be much easier, regardless of whether the Fish Horse Star Civilization had any ulterior motives.
Hu Yu originally planned to rush into the fortress through the gap opened by the Rock Star Civilization, but the gap was too small. Since the Rock Star Civilization could break through the fortress, he was sure he could too. Hu Yu immediately gathered a large force and launched a fierce attack from a distance of 3 astronomical units from the gap.
However, the expected breach did not appear, and the Super Fortress remained as sturdy as ever. Hu Yu immediately had a bad feeling. Suddenly, a hole appeared on both sides of the Super Fortress, which was not much different in size from the first one. The fleets on both sides were basically Great Star Region Intermediate Civilization.
These fleets consisted of warships from the Star Ring Alliance and other Great Star Region Intermediate Civilization of the Secondary Universe. Their main task was to contain the Super Fortress. Their attack power was slightly weaker, and far inferior to that of the fleet under Hu Yu's command. In theory, such an attack should not have been able to harm the Super Fortress.
Suddenly, Hu Yu seemed to realize something. "Quick, contact the Rock Star Civilization and stop advancing! This is a trap! Hurry, hurry!"
But it was too late. The fleets of the Rock Star Civilization and other civilizations were less than 20 million kilometers away from the Super Fortress. In the context of interstellar warfare, this distance was no different from the close combat between ancient soldiers.
With the gap in the Super Fortress at its apex, within a 30-degree cone-shaped space, the forward speed of all the warships accelerated once again, instantly breaking the speed of light, and heading straight for the gap.
"What's going on?! What's going on?! Why is the fleet out of control?" the leader of the Rock Star Civilization shouted anxiously. This fleet accounted for almost 90% of their combat power on the battlefield.
"Chief, a powerful gravitational pull has suddenly appeared in the gap. This pull is so strong that even our fleet cannot withstand it."
"How is this possible! How can there be such strong gravity? Our fleet can freely enter and exit even at the infinite redshift plane of a black hole. Although there is a black hole in the Super Fortress, it should not affect this distance at all."
