More than 50 Stealth Killer remained after breaking through the defense perimeter. They quickly broke away from the Wind Master fleet and disappeared into the territory of the Wind Star Civilization civilization. This is the advantage of small ships; their maneuverability far exceeds that of the Wind Master. They were able to escape safely from the encirclement of tens of millions of Wind Star warships. Even if a few were destroyed, it did not affect the final result.
However, one of them remained in place, enduring the onslaught of the Wind Star fleet alongside the Wind Master. The Wind Master charged left and right, feigning an attempt to penetrate deeper into Wind Star territory, drawing a large number of Wind Star warships together. A dozen seconds later, the Stealth Killer were destroyed, and the neutron degenerate matter went out of control. Three minutes later, the remaining dozens of Wind Master and 40 million Wind Star warships all ceased their movements, turning into piles of scrap metal. Inside them, a great deal of matter had inexplicably accumulated.
Neither warships nor the Wind Star People could resist the silent penetration of neutrons, until their interiors were filled with metallic or gaseous elements. Then, warships exploded one after another.
At this moment, there were no longer any large-scale fleets operating within the Wind Star Territory, nor were there any terrifyingly numerous defensive systems. It appeared to be a peaceful place, with only a few million scattered fleets belonging to different factions. They were not yet gathered together and could not threaten the Stealth Killer Stealth Killer, and even if they did, it would be meaningless.
Five minutes later, the first wave of reinforcements from Wind Star arrived, numbering 40 million ships. In order to stop the human fleet in time, they also used warp drive in the passage. Although the space-based turrets and interstellar mines had friend-or-foe identification and the weapon systems around the passage would not attack them, the slow speed of the various weapons on the fleet's path made it impossible for the fleet to avoid them, and they could only crash into them directly.
In addition to the debris left by over 90% of the space-based artillery and interstellar mines in the human fleet's collision tunnel, as well as various sizes of wreckage left by the Wind Master, especially the thick defensive armor of the warships, whose destructive power was no less than that of various defensive weapons, being hit by them would be enough to give the Wind Star Fleet a good beating.
After losing ten million ships, the Wind Star Fleet finally arrived inside the civilized territory, only to find the wreckage of 40 million warships scattered everywhere, and countless more just beginning to catch fire and explode. These warships, which had rushed to their deaths, were stunned. Just hours earlier, the human fleet had destroyed ten million warships guarding the passage, and now it had destroyed another 40 million.
The newly arrived warships were already somewhat panicked. They didn't know what kind of weapon of mass destruction the humans were using, nor how many such weapons humans still possessed. Furthermore, the human fleet had already been almost entirely wiped out, so they could only quietly remain at the passageway entrance awaiting further instructions from their leader. The Wind Star Fleet was also shocked by the tragic scene before them. In this battle, five or six hundred million of their people had died. Many of these fallen kin were people they knew well, even friends and family, and served alongside them in the fleet.
The Wind Star Fleet, which had already escaped, was unable to pursue the Stealth Killer. Some of these Stealth Killer were hiding in the planetary atmosphere, some were hiding deep in the planetary waters, and some were hiding in the planetary vegetation. Even if the Wind Star Civilization's fleet caught up with them, they could not wage war on these planets. These planets were their homes, and their people and families lived on them.
The Stealth Killer did not attack immediately, and the Wind Star Fleet could only wait patiently for the leader's orders, hoping there might still be room for maneuver.
Inside the presidential building at this moment.
"Humans, what have you done?!" This time, the new leader of the Wind Star Civilization was no longer smug or confident.
"What did I do? Is that even a question?" Hu Yu said calmly, controlling the Feng Jun.
"Humans, don't think you have victory in your grasp now. Your fleet left on Wind Star has been completely destroyed. With the remaining 15 million warships, do you think you can defend our inhabited planet? Our fleet will find you soon and destroy you. Even if you can destroy this place, we can destroy you too. So I advise you not to act rashly."
"Oh, really? You only sent a fleet of a hundred million ships to search for our planet. Do you think we can't devour them? Just now, we destroyed 50 million of your warships in two separate operations. And more importantly, as you should have seen, our small warships are already hovering over every one of your inhabited planets. With just one order from me, the Wind Star Civilization will be wiped out of the universe."
What exactly do you want?
Do I need to repeat myself? Hand over the tech tree!!!
"This is impossible!!!"
"I think it's possible. I'll count to ten now. After ten counts, one planet will be destroyed. Then count to ten more, and another planet will be destroyed, until you hand over the tech tree. One... two... three... eight... nine..."
"Okay, stop."
"It's a pleasure doing business with you!"
"No, I never said I wanted to cooperate with you, Lord Fish Horse Star. You may appear now!" the new leader shouted, relaying the message.
"What Fish Horse Star?" Hu Yu asked.
You'll find out soon enough.
"It's those giant ships!!!"
"Now that you know, why ask again? I'll tell you, the Fish Horse Star Civilization is a top-tier civilization in Small Star Region, only one step away from Great Star Region Civilization."
"Hmph, I'm afraid the price you'll have to pay to get these Fish Horse Star ships to help you won't be any lower than the demands I made."
"That's true, but what can we do? Your Human Civilization has become our enemy. Rather than let the enemy grow stronger, we'd rather serve the Fish Horse Star Civilization."
One hundred colossal ships slowly emerged from the flames of the Wind Star Civilization's parent star. The star's thousands or tens of thousands of degrees of heat had no effect on these ships. They sailed out unhurriedly using conventional engines, seemingly disregarding everything. And they certainly had the right to do so. Small Star Sector Advanced Civilization were not something these Star System-Level Civilization could afford to provoke.
This time, Hu Yu finally saw the complete and clear appearance of these giant ships. Unlike the flat, isosceles triangular shape of human warships and the conventional design of the Wind Star Civilization's warships, these giant ships looked like short, fat ears of corn. Each kernel of corn had a corresponding protrusion, and huge arcs of electricity flowed across the protrusions. Hu Yu couldn't figure out what these arcs were for for the time being.
These warships were 50 kilometers long and nearly 20 kilometers in diameter. These behemoths had barely left the star's flames when they began to obscure its light. By the time these giant ships landed on the Head of State Star, the entire Head of State Star was plunged into darkness, and the star's light was completely blocked by these colossal vessels.
A Fish Horse Star People projected an image in front of the leader. The creature was covered in scales, had two pairs of eye-like lenses on its head, four octopus-like organs on its upper body, and four legs like a mule or horse on its lower body.
This image is not unfamiliar to humans, especially Hu Yu, for even after hundreds of years, this image remains deeply imprinted in his mind.
"It's the Patrols!!!"
