Faced with the Mechanical Lord's insults, the leader of Fish Horse Star displayed the good manners and proper attitude of a leader of an advanced civilization. He did not get angry, but instead remained calm and began to test the Mechanical Lord.

"What! You're retreating?" Although the Mechanical Lord is intelligent, everything is dominated by computing power. In addition, the unique pyramid structure of the Mechanical Civilization means that some of the Mechanical Lord of the Fish Horse Star Civilization civilization.

"Yes, we only managed to withstand the combined attack of the Milky Way civilizations by relying on our fortress. Now that the fortress has been breached and humanity has created such an unstoppable fleet, are we just going to wait to be annihilated if we don't retreat?"

"I suggest you abandon your plans to escape, otherwise I will join forces with the civilizations of the Milky Way to launch an attack on you."

" Mechanical Lord, what do you care whether we advance or retreat? Don't forget, you are also the common enemy of the Milky Way and even the entire universe."

Therefore, we should unite and stand together through thick and thin.

"No, you're wrong. We can survive safely if we retreat, but you won't have that privilege. No matter which star system you run to, you'll be hunted down. Mechanical Lord, your insistence on our advance is probably not just about taking revenge on the Milky Way civilization."

"Why do you care so much? I'm here to help you. I'll ask you one last question: are you advancing or retreating?"

"Retreat," replied the leader of the Fish Horse Star Civilization.

This answer nearly drove the Mechanical Lord mad. His mission was to ensure the smooth arrival of the Fish Horse Star Civilization's Super Fortress in the Milky Way. Now, the Fish Horse Star Civilization's leader was retreating, and the Mechanical Civilization Lord was at a loss. The Dark Shadow was elusive and he couldn't find it. Now he could only watch helplessly as his fleet was destroyed one by one by these wolf-like warships.

While the leader of the Fish Horse Star Civilization was speaking with the leader of the Mechanical Civilization, the three fleets of the Fish Horse Star Civilization had already gathered together. The three fleets combined amounted to nearly 120 trillion. Under the command of Ci Ma, the fleet that was receiving scientific research data had all entered the fourth dimension and was preparing to return to the fortress base.

Just to be on the safe side, Ci Ma made two backups of the research data and three warships. As long as one of them successfully reaches the fortress base, the mission will be considered a complete success. Moreover, it would be extremely difficult for them to track him in the fourth dimension, since he had already shaken off those Galaxy-Level warships.

This is Ci Ma believes. In reality, Wen Zhonghua has already used the Slaughterer to firmly lock onto Ci Ma. However, in order to coordinate with the Conqueror ' encirclement operation, the other Slaughterer pretended to have found nothing and left the battlefield after traversing the fourth dimension for a period of time, leaving only a few ships hidden in the fourth dimension to maintain a lock on the Fish Horse Star fleet.

However, Wen Zhonghua was also somewhat frustrated by the successive arrivals of the Fish Horse Star fleet. There were too many of these fleets, exceeding the number of Conqueror. With such a massive group, it was hard to say whether the Conqueror ' encirclement formation could still achieve the desired effect. The plan had to continue, and destroying even one Fish Horse Star warship at this time would weaken their strength.

The fleet exceeded expectations, forcing Wen Zhonghua to regroup the Conqueror at a more distant edge of the Milky Way to prevent the Fish Horse Star Civilization from making a desperate move and causing further damage to the already battered Milky Way.

The route taken by the Fish Horse Star Civilization is uncertain. After this war, Wen Zhonghua has gained a new understanding of the enemy's commander. This overly cautious commander certainly will not travel in a straight line back to Boötes.

After various deductions, analyses, and calculations, Wen Zhonghua finally narrowed down the Fish Horse Star fleet's route to three possible directions. The most likely scenario was that the fleet would leave the Milky Way and return to the Boötes via the distant interstellar void. However, if the Conqueror split into three groups, they would be unable to inflict an effective blow on the Fish Horse Star fleet.

Wen Zhonghua finally made up his mind and placed the Conqueror on the most distant route. These three routes were very far apart. If the Fish Horse Star Fleet did not take the route Wen Zhonghua estimated, the Conqueror would not have time to maneuver to another route to intercept them.

The Fish Horse Star Fleet seemed ready. They began their voyage in the fourth dimension. After traveling a distance, they gradually moved away from the three-dimensional space of the Milky Way. According to the Slaughterer's message, the Fish Horse Star Fleet was not heading in the direction Wen Zhonghua had planned.

Several short men urged Wen Zhonghua to immediately change the Conqueror ' position. Wen Zhonghua frowned, looking at the Fish Horse Star fleet's route. This was definitely not the route a cautious commander would take. Even if the enemy commander didn't take the three routes he had estimated, he would definitely not take this route.

After waiting for several days, Wen Zhonghua began to have doubts about himself. The other side was unaware of the existence of the Conqueror. All the fleets of the Milky Way civilization were near the Boötes. In addition, given the power of the Fish Horse Star warships, did they think that they no longer needed to take this route? Or had they already sent the research data to the base remotely?

Just as Wen Zhonghua was about to give up, the Fish Horse Star fleet suddenly turned and rapidly approached Wen Zhonghua's direction. This move made Wen Zhonghua curse out loud, "Damn it! It's not that the enemy commander wasn't cautious enough, it's that I underestimated their caution."

"Prepare for battle."

The Conqueror were already on high alert. The Fish Horse Star Fleet did not use energy to defend against the Two-Dimensional Conqueror ' actions at this time, because the energy released during high-speed movement would immediately reach the rear of the fleet and be of no use. Energy circle defense is only useful when the fleet is stationary.

As the Fish Horse Star fleet approached, Wen Zhonghua became a little nervous. The 80 trillion Two-Dimensional Conqueror had already set up a huge pocket formation in the fourth dimension. The Fish Horse Star fleet seemed to be in a relatively dense formation to protect the scientific research data. The Two-Dimensional Conqueror let go of a few small vanguard fleets and quietly waited for the main force to arrive.

Closer and closer, the little dwarfs were already itching to launch an attack. Wen Zhonghua remained calm and composed until the vanguard of the Fish Horse Star army was less than 100 million kilometers away from the bottom of the trap set by the Conqueror. Only then did the Conqueror release the two-dimensional space fragments that they had prepared long ago.

The Conqueror were well-prepared this time. The two-dimensional space fragments had hardly been used during the previous attack on the Super Fortress. In addition, due to years of preparation in the Secondary Universe, each Conqueror carried a sufficient number of two-dimensional space fragments, which were all released by the Conqueror within ten seconds.
