But this situation will change within ten minutes, because the Pleiades Fleet’s warships are still approaching. When more warships reach attack range, their energy shields definitely won’t hold. "This is our final warning, if you don’t surrender within one minute, we will retaliate!" Ding Yue continued sending messages to the enemy warships. "He’s out of his mind. How does he plan to retaliate?" "Wishful thinking!" The Pleiades Fleet captains mocked and continued the attack. Ding Yue didn’t move, instead he watched the clock. "Captain Han, our safety is completely in your hands!" He communicated with Captain Han Shi of the Blue Star. "Don’t worry, our new weapon will definitely surprise them!" Han Shi replied. At this time, the Blue Star had already approached the battlefield, yet the enemy reconnaissance ships hadn’t detected it. They were traveling within a warp bubble, and those reconnaissance ships that couldn’t detect subspace were impossible to detect them. "Ten, nine, eight..." Ding Yue had already started the countdown for the opponent. His confident actions truly made Ruger suspicious, "Could they have any trump card?" "Anyway, swift decision!" Ruger ordered, "Increase firepower!" "Received!" Each ship increased firepower output, and the energy shields of the Blue Star Civilization’s warships were rapidly depleting, they wouldn’t last three minutes at this rate! Follow current novᴇls on NovєlFіre.net At that moment, a strange energy fluctuation suddenly appeared on the battlefield. Soon, a huge warship appeared out of nowhere! The Blue Star had arrived at the battlefield! As soon as it appeared, all of the Pleiades Fleet captains were shocked, "Warp speed warship!" "How could a warp speed warship appear?" Ruger was puzzled, "Could it be a Black Sea Civilization’s warship, or a Star Trading Group’s warship?" "We’re no match for a warp speed warship." "Commander, the enemy has a warp speed warship, should we retreat?" his subordinate inquired. "Fool, with our navigational speed, how can we escape from a warp speed warship?" Ruger scolded, "Plus the interference from the Blue Star Civilization’s warships." "It seems only one warp speed warship has appeared, if there aren’t more, we still hold the advantage!" At this time, Ruger couldn’t discern which side the warp speed warship belonged to, so he didn’t attack recklessly. But the opponent clearly had already deemed them as enemies, as a beam shot from the warp speed warship at a sub-light-speed battleship. This was an absolutely dark beam, as no light could spread from around it. It was composed of antimatter, which conventional perspectives and detectors couldn’t even spot. The attacked ship had its energy shield activated, but a black hole suddenly appeared in the shield, continuously exploding. The Destruction Death Light easily penetrated the energy shield composed of positive particles. When these antimatter particles came into contact with the warship’s armor, the retrofitted and reinforced equipment, special space metal, strong force materials, etc., were all swallowed up in the annihilation reaction without any effectiveness. Soon after, the sub-light-speed battleship rapidly disintegrated, exploding into a ball of annihilation in space. The captain didn’t even have time to send a distress signal before he and his warship vanished from the battlefield. "Antimatter weapons!" Ruger recognized this attack method, he was even more terrified. He had always known that antimatter weapons were lethal to sub-light-speed battleships! The Bessel Civilization had always been researching and requesting help from the Pleiades Civilization to develop antimatter technology. But the parent civilization always procrastinated and dismissed it, because once they possessed antimatter weapons, they would have the technological means to harm the parent civilization. This was intolerable for the Pleiades Civilization. Therefore, in Ruger’s and other second-level civilizations’ minds, antimatter weapons were forbidden weapons that only the parent civilization possessed! Now, the forbidden weapons were being used against them! "Attack, direct attack, don’t mind those two sub-light-speed battleships!" Ruger gritted his teeth, "Get rid of the warp speed warship first!" They turned their attack to the Blue Star, which also raised its energy shield. The attack from fourteen warships hitting the energy shield could deplete it, yet the energy shield continued to regenerate. In the Blue Star Civilization Command, Luo An exclaimed: "The energy output of this antimatter reactor is really high, resisting fourteen without a scratch!" "This can be considered a dimensional reduction strike!" He Xingzhou commented, between a 2.5-level and a 2.4-level civilization, the difference was just the antimatter technology; truly worlds apart! "Keep attacking!" On the Blue Star, Han Shi ordered an attack on another target. Soon, another warship was destroyed. Ruger was terrified, he finally understood why the other side said they were surrounded earlier. It turned out it wasn’t their fifteen warships surrounding the other side, instead, it was the other side’s one warship surrounding their fifteen! "Unbelievable, this can’t be Blue Star Civilization’s technology." Ruger immediately contacted the Pleiades Civilization’s governor, "Lord Qing Gu, an advanced civilization is intervening, we’re close to being wiped out, requesting help!" "A warp speed warship appeared?" Qing Gu was puzzled, "We’ve been watching the Black Sea Civilization closely, and their warships haven’t moved. Did they move secretly?" "Other civilizations aren’t possible either, was the Blue Star Civilization itself building it?" Ruger was anxious, now wasn’t the time to consider these things, if they ponder any longer, they’d be dead! "My lord, save us!" Ruger urged again. However, Qing Gu was indifferent, she said: "We’re not at war with the Black Sea Civilization or the Pleiades yet. If we mobilize, it will surely trigger war." "What about us?" Ruger asked. "Save yourselves, remember, you’re just star thieves." Qing Gu finished and ruthlessly cut off communications. Ruger’s face turned ashen, he knew they were abandoned by the parent civilization. Indeed, to the parent civilization, what did a few sub-light-speed battleships matter? They were all eliminated long ago. Not to mention fifteen, even if they lost a hundred, they wouldn’t be heartbroken. As for these people, they were nothing more than dogs raised by the Pleiades Civilization. Once they died, the Pleiades Civilization would immediately select new dogs from their civilization. They became abandonments! "Damn it!" Ruger was extremely unwilling, he snarled: "Everyone listen, the parent civilization has abandoned us!" "Now we’re no match for the Blue Star Civilization, and against the warp speed warship, resistance and escape are meaningless!" "So I order, everyone surrender! Surrender immediately!" "Surrender?" The captains had long wanted to do this. As soon as Ruger announced, they promptly sent signals of surrender: "Stop firing, we are willing to surrender, unconditionally surrender!" All warships sent signals. The Blue Star paused its attack, Han Shi inquired from the command. He Xingzhou said: "Since they surrendered, let’s stop attacking. The Pleiades Civilization doesn’t care about sub-light-speed warships, but they’re still useful to us." "Leave the warships. As for the captives, lock them up in Proxima Centauri b, they intended to destroy it, so let them work as laborers to build the Proxima Centauri Star System!" "Is this what’s called karma?" Xu Zhilan laughed. Ruger and the others never imagined that after traveling across galaxies to the Proxima Centauri Star System, they would end up as builders. Moreover, Blue Star Civilization, in dealing with such captives, doesn’t allow them to reproduce except those with special contributions, so as to avoid unnecessary conflicts. "Thanks to the warp speed warship! Now our Blue Star Civilization’s status in the Orion Arm will rise significantly!" The commanders were extremely satisfied with the warp speed warship’s performance. But to the Pleiades Civilization, this was terrible news. "The star thief raids also failed, Blue Star Civilization already possesses warp speed warship. Unless we personally intervene, none of our affiliated civilizations can match them!" Qing Gu conveyed the news to other governors, and all seven governors felt very anxious. Previously inconspicuous Blue Star Civilization, how did it grow so fast? It can already threaten them!
