"They are about to discover us!" Xiong Manni reminded, "We are still an hour away from Sirius c." "That’s about right. Even if we are discovered now, we are well-prepared to respond." Huang Sheng said, then sent a message to He Xingzhou: "Commander, we have approached Sirius c and expect to launch the attack within an hour." "Alright, await instructions." He Xingzhou responded. At this time, He Xingzhou entered the Virtual Universe and returned to Initial City from Galaxy City to connect with the current leader of the Sirius Civilization, Jin Ye. A few minutes later, Jin Ye entered the Virtual Universe and upon seeing He Xingzhou, his first words were: "He Xingzhou, we’ll soon find your Blue Star Civilization’s Warship and destroy it!" "I doubt you have the capability." He Xingzhou said, noticing his arrogant attitude, "I contacted you to give you a warning." "Your Sirius Civilization once invaded us, and for the past few centuries, you’ve been manipulated by the Maoshi Star Civilization to stand against us!" "So what?" Jin Ye replied arrogantly, "The Blue Star Civilization will soon be annihilated! Our Sirius Civilization will take its place!" "Stop dreaming!" He Xingzhou ruthlessly dismantled his arrogance, saying, "Do you have any control over all those weapons of the Sirius Civilization? Even if we kill Dong Zhen, they’ll just appoint a new commander." "I won’t waste words with you!" He Xingzhou said, "I demand the immediate surrender of the Sirius Civilization! After surrender, our Blue Star Civilization can guarantee your safety." "You are delusional!" Jin Ye was about to retort when He Xingzhou interrupted him, saying, "Our Warship is already near Sirius c, in fifty-five minutes, it will launch a superweapon to destroy all organic life on the planet!" "You have only fifty-five minutes to choose surrender or war!" "That’s all I have to say. Consider your choice carefully. Sirius c is your mother planet, home to tens of billions of people. If you don’t want them to lose their lives, surrender obediently!" "Are you threatening me?" Jin Ye was shocked but still refused to lower his attitude. "I am indeed threatening you." He Xingzhou did not deny it, "You now have only fifty-four minutes left." Jin Ye immediately contacted other high officials, "Quick, find and destroy that Blue Star Civilization Warship!" He Xingzhou’s words were also known to the high officials. "He is too arrogant; this is our territory, impregnable. Even if he launches Fast Particle Weapons or Antimatter Weapons, it’s impossible to destroy Sirius c!" someone grunted. "He Xingzhou is just putting on a bluff!" "How can our dignified Sirius Civilization surrender just because of his words?" Someone else expressed concern: "What if what he says is true? The Blue Star Civilization has always been unpredictable!" "Sirius c is our most important planet, and most of our elite live on Sirius c!" "It’s better to be cautious! Evacuate the populace!" "Evacuate? Flee our own mother planet because of a baseless claim from the enemy? Ridiculous!" Hardliners firmly opposed! "Can you take responsibility if such weapons indeed exist?" "The Sirius Civilization should possess the courage and strength to defeat the Blue Star Civilization, unafraid of death or sacrifice!" The sides argued endlessly, and time gradually slipped away. At this moment, someone reported: "We’ve found the Blue Star Civilization Warship; it’s approaching Sirius c. It’s a Level 3 Warp Battleship, and we’ve already launched weapons to force it out of warp speed, and it is now approaching Sirius c at sub-light speed." "How long until we take them down?" Jin Ye asked. "At least an hour; our Warp Battleships are on their way!" Previously, they had dispatched the Warp Battleships for expeditions or patrols because they believed that even if Warp Battleships approached, the space military fortresses near Sirius c could fend off an attack. However, the moment they discovered the Blue Star Civilization Warship, Fast Particle Weapons had already reached the Space Fortress, destroying it. "A Star Destroyer has the ability to devastate a planet’s surface; this is a Constant Star System Warp Battleship. If it fires with full force, our planet’s surface could suffer heavy damage!" a high-ranking member reminded. Jin Ye hesitated, retreating now would deal a huge blow to his prestige and a heavy blow to the dignity and confidence of the Sirius Civilization. Yet before he made a decision, the Blue Star Civilization had already aided by spreading propaganda. On Sirius c, Blue Star Civilization’s robotic spies made themselves public, announcing on the news: "Citizens of Sirius Civilization, we are the Blue Star Civilization Warship." "In half an hour, we will destroy all life on this planet. Those willing to surrender, please leave this planet immediately! Those unwilling shall be buried here forever!" This announcement threw Sirius c and the entire Sirius Civilization into chaos. For original chapters go to n͟o͟v͟e͟l͟f͟i͟r͟e͟.net "The Blue Star Civilization is attacking? They are going to wipe out all life on this planet! Let’s evacuate quickly!" On the planet, a large number of citizens boarded ships to leave. As a key civilization supported by the Maoshi Star Civilization, it would take less than ten minutes for the inhabitants of Sirius c to leave the planet. However, a considerable number still expressed skepticism and opposition. "This is a lie, how could they launch an attack!" "Don’t be afraid, we will defeat the Blue Star Civilization!" "Flee? How could our Sirius Civilization flee? Let them come, I will personally battle them!" A general boarded a battleship, arrogantly claiming to teach the Blue Star Civilization a lesson.
