Although the Expeller were invincible, they were unable to approach the breach in the fortress despite the obstruction of so many Mechanical Civilization warships. This even puzzled Hu Yu. The actions of the Mechanical Civilization fleet had far exceeded the cost of interfering with the Milky Way civilization fleet. It seemed that the Mechanical Civilization was more like a staunch supporter of the Fish Horse Star Civilization.
" Old Hu, could it be that the Mechanical Civilization's leader has been Fish Horse Star Civilization?"
"Judging from the situation at the scene, that's possible."
"It's a pity there are too few Expeller. We haven't heard anything from Jianchuan yet, it's worrying."
"Don't worry, Jianchuan will be fine."
"Ugh... so good..." Inside the Super Fortress of the Fish Horse Star Civilization, Gao Jianchuan hadn't had such a good night's sleep in a long time. Only someone who had weathered many storms could still fall asleep peacefully under such circumstances.
This nap completely relaxed Gao Jianchuan's tense nerves. At this moment, Gao Jianchuan's mind was extremely clear. More than ten hours had passed, so why hadn't the fleet of the Milky Way civilization attacked? What puzzled Gao Jianchuan even more was that, after so long, the fleet guarding the breach in the fortress of the Fish Horse Star Civilization also seemed to have made no move.
Something was definitely unusual; something special must have happened outside, otherwise it wouldn't be so quiet. Gao Jianchuan looked at the black hole sealing sphere. The crack that had been broken seemed to have shrunk considerably. There were many spaceships and robots busily working there, and even many Fish Horse Star were involved in the work.
Gao Jianchuan hadn't expected the Fish Horse Star Civilization to act so quickly. After a slight hesitation, Gao Jianchuan made up his mind.
"Master controller, is there any information outside?" Gao Jianchuan asked the robot.
" General Gao, the Fish Horse Star Civilization has implemented a tight blockade. No space, energy, or particle can enter or leave. In order not to expose us, the information we transmit is all low-powered and cannot break through the Fish Horse Star Civilization's blockade at all."
"We can't wait any longer. We must find a way to get the message out, otherwise all our efforts will be in vain. Something must have happened outside."
" General Gao, we cannot transmit signals."
"Then let's charge out."
"That won't do, General Gao. Your life is the most important thing. If you rush out, your chances of survival won't exceed thirty percent."
"Thirty percent is enough. Let's get started."
"But..."
"That's an order."
The main control robot no longer speaks; commands are paramount and cannot be disobeyed. It can only choose the optimal route to ensure the commands are executed smoothly.
Near the breach in the fortress, there are still nearly 40 trillion warships defending the area. These warships are densely packed, completely blocking the breach. Moreover, these warships are constantly releasing powerful energy, making any attempt to pass through the breach impossible.
The Slaughterer clung tightly to the inner wall of the fortress, steadily approaching the breach. Utilizing cloaking technology, the Slaughterer stopped at the edge of the Fish Horse Star Civilization's defensive fleet.
Looking at the densely packed fleet before him, Gao Jianchuan felt no fear. The fleet here was so dense that ships were practically touching. If the Slaughterer wanted to get out, they probably wouldn't be able to fly, but would have to squeeze through the crowd. Getting out without alerting the Fish Horse Star Civilization's fleet was absolutely impossible.
Gao Jianchuan calmed himself down and considered the situation. Soon, Gao Jianchuan had an idea. He chose the shortest route, but this route would require passing through the encirclement and interception of at least a million warships to break through.
The Slaughterer unleashed a spatial attack, but this attack wasn't intended to destroy the Fish Horse Star warship. Gao Jianchuan adjusted the spatial attack, reducing its energy and increasing its spatial dimension, allowing it to spread further and create a passage for the Slaughterer.
As the spatial attack extended, the Fish Horse Star warship was forcibly pushed aside by the sudden increase in space. The Slaughterer rushed directly through the passage opened by the spatial attack, and continuously launched a new round of spatial attacks along the way, allowing the passage to continue to extend forward.
The Fish Horse Star fleet reacted immediately, and this reaction was collective. Whether it was the warships that had been shaken off by the Slaughterer or the fleet that continued to maintain its formation ahead, they immediately launched an encirclement operation against the Slaughterer. However, the Fish Horse Star Civilization soon discovered that only one warship had broken through the formation.
This sheer number actually put the Fish Horse Star Fleet somewhat in a bind. If they didn't attack with all their might, they wouldn't be able to harm a Galaxy-Level like the Slaughterer. However, if they did attack with all their might, over 90% of the attacks would end up hitting their own fleet. Now, they had to maintain a tight defensive formation, which put the Fish Horse Star Fleet in a difficult position.
Gao Jianchuan also realized this situation. Taking advantage of the Fish Horse Star fleet's hesitation, Gao Jianchuan increased his speed. Now, only the Fish Horse Star fleet directly in front and behind dared to fire. The Slaughterer was the most heavily defended part of the ship, which was also the focus of defense for all civilized warships. Behind the Slaughterer, due to the relative speed, the Fish Horse Star warships' attacks became much weaker and could not pose any threat to the Slaughterer at all.
More importantly, the Fish Horse Star Civilization was still on guard against whether more human warships would break through, suspecting that this warship might be a decoy used to confuse them. The resistance Gao Jianchuan encountered was far less than expected, and with the exit just ahead, Gao Jianchuan even saw bursts of fire from explosions outside. Sure enough, something unexpected had happened outside.
Gao Jianchuan grew even more anxious. In the final stage, the Slaughterer practically burst out after crashing through the Fish Horse Star warship. Finally, the firelight outside became clear. The Slaughterer, like a shark returning to the sea, swung its powerful tail as soon as it entered the water and charged towards the distant starry sky.
"General, I'm back." Gao Jianchuan immediately contacted Hu Yu.
" Jianchuan, come right away." Everyone cheered when they heard Gao Jianchuan's voice again.
"General, the fortress's interior has been breached, but the Fish Horse Star Civilization is working hard to repair it. We must hurry, or we'll likely have little chance left once the interior is repaired. Hmm... that's a fleet from the Mechanical Civilization. What's going on?"
" The Mechanical Civilization and the Fish Horse Star Civilization are colluding; we'll discuss the rest once you arrive."
Back with Hu Yu, Gao Jianchuan immediately took out the data, and the academicians began their intensive calculations.
"So that's how it is, General. With a gap appearing at this location, the corresponding part of the fortress must become vulnerable. Our opportunity has arrived," Academician Zeng said.
"Unite all the fleets of the galactic civilizations and notify them to attack in this direction. The rift is so large that the corresponding gap should exceed one billion kilometers. Let's see how the Mechanical Civilization can intercept us. Draw the war into the fortress. Move out!"
