Chapter 547: Chapter 326: The Collapse of the Sirius Civilization! “You management-level personnel can evacuate, but your civilization’s scientists and some elites are not allowed to leave!” insisted the negotiation expert from the Blue Star Civilization. “Upon departure, you are forbidden to destroy industrial equipment, civilization buildings, and resource planets!” “Apart from the warships for your evacuation, all other military weapons must be left behind.” “Only then can we guarantee your safe departure, otherwise our warships will pursue you! Don’t think you can escape our lock; the entire Sirius Civilization is within the attack range of our Fast Particle Weapons!” The leaders of the Sirius Civilization felt extremely stifled but were not qualified to bargain. In victory, the king prevails; in defeat, the army scatters; they are doomed to fail when their military spirit is dispersed. They agreed to these terms, and internally, the leaders placated the populace, mentioning negotiations with the Blue Star Civilization without addressing surrender. Meanwhile, they were packing their belongings, preparing to depart. “If we surrender, the main civilization won’t spare us!” someone worried aloud. “Then let’s leave the Maoshi Star Union’s territory and go to other civilizations under Marquis Yunxiao! Even the Maoshi Star Civilization wouldn’t dare trouble us!” They took their accrued wealth and sought refuge in other civilizations. To this, the Blue Star Civilization turned a blind eye, pretending not to know. After all, the Sirius Civilization still possessed considerable military strength, and directly absorbing them was the best option. Once these fleeing leaders had left, revealing these matters would redirect the Sirius Civilization’s hatred toward these escapees, facilitating governance and control. A week later, the leadership of the Sirius Civilization had mostly fled in panic. Huang Sheng commanded his warship, deploying soldiers to take over various military bases. He Xingzhou’s figure appeared on the Sirius Civilization news broadcast, and he announced: “Members of the Sirius Civilization, I am He Xingzhou, Commander-in-Chief of the Blue Star Civilization.” “The previous Sirius Civilization leaders have surrendered to us unconditionally, and we will accept all territories, assets, and population of the Sirius Civilization.” “Please remain calm and continue your normal life; we will ensure your safety. During the takeover, everything will temporarily follow the laws and systems of the previous civilization.” After He Xingzhou’s announcement, the remaining leaders came out to reassure the populace. Unexpectedly, the Sirius Civilization’s populace did not panic or cause disturbances; instead, many felt reassured. “Those bastards indeed escaped on their own!” “Surrendering is good, the war is over!” “Yes, even if the Sirius Civilization can’t continue, we still have the chance to flee to the Maoshi Star Civilization or other civilizations.” “As long as the Blue Star Civilization doesn’t continue to strike us, it’s not unacceptable.” Of course, there were those full of hatred toward the Blue Star Civilization, like those who lost relatives to them or who possessed a strong sense of cultural identity and wished to revive the Sirius Civilization. Dealing with them wasn’t difficult; without support from high-tech weapons, all disturbances were negligible. “We really didn’t expect that we could defeat the Sirius Civilization so easily!” The commanders of the Blue Star Civilization thought back and felt incredulous. “The Sirius Civilization’s fighting spirit is too weak!” Xu Zhilan commented, “They have been colonized by the Maoshi Star Civilization for too long, and their civilization has completely lost cohesion. So when faced with a crisis, they immediately splinter.” “We’ve gained a lot this time.” He Xingzhou smiled, “Taking down the Sirius Civilization, the bridgehead painstakingly built by the Maoshi Star Civilization is just gone, and from now on, all territories of the Maoshi Star Union will be open to us!” “We’ve also captured several Level 4 Warp Speed Battleships, and after reverse engineering them, we’ll quickly obtain Level 4 Warp Speed Battleships, elevating us to a 2.9-level civilization! Greatly enhancing our strength!” “And the other three star systems are basically under our control. As long as the Star Trading Group’s fleet can intercept the Maoshi Star Civilization fleet, we’ll have firmly established ourselves in this star domain!” They were still awaiting news from the Star Trading Group. Meanwhile, the Maoshi Star Civilization had also learned about the Sirius Civilization’s surrender, which had infuriated the governors. “These good-for-nothings, given so much support, fled before the battle even began!” “We should have wiped out the Sirius Civilization from the start!” “In this battle, we not only lost the warp speed battleships but also lost four star systems!” “The behavior of these people from the Sirius Civilization is utterly disgraceful; they flee today, and tomorrow other affiliated civilizations will flee, or even betray us, acting as spies for the Blue Star Civilization and the Star Trading Group!” Jiang Gu said coldly: “Immediately dispatch reconnaissance ships to capture all those fleeing criminals and bring them back to the Maoshi Star Civilization for trial; we cannot let them escape so easily!” “Yes!” someone immediately went to arrange it. “Zi Gu, how are things on your end?” they asked Zi Gu, who was already close to the Sirius Star System and the Proxima Centauri Star System, just under ten days away. Zi Gu’s mood was even worse; her husband had been killed by the Blue Star Civilization, and now, seeking revenge, she was being blocked. At one light year away, the Star Trading Group’s fleet was warning her. “Attention Maoshi Star Civilization fleet, you have violated the Galaxy Light Organization’s accord that prohibits advanced civilizations from waging war on lower-level civilizations! Halt your advance immediately, or we will attack!” Zi Gu responded: “What a ridiculous agreement; does any civilization within the Galaxy Light abide by it?” “An attack on the Blue Star Civilization will be regarded as an attack on our Star Trading Group!” Huo Sen’s voice appeared in the subspace communicator, stressing: “Zi Gu, if you’re prepared for total war, continue your action.” “If not, I advise you to retreat! Once a total war begins, your Maoshi Star Civilization will first become cannon fodder!” Coming from a Level 4 civilization, Huo Sen was indeed very intimidating to Zi Gu. “Sir, what should we do?” the subordinate asked. Zi Gu didn’t reply; at this point, Jiang Gu and others began contacting her, saying: “Zi Gu, pull back.” “We’ve lost so much, are we just going to let it go?” Zi Gu was very dissatisfied, saying: “Today we retreat, and tomorrow the Blue Star Civilization will attack our territory!” Jiang Gu said: “Rest assured, we already have a new strategy. To deal with the Blue Star Civilization, we don’t need to take action ourselves, let them fight among themselves!” “At this moment, we are still not a match for the Star Trading Group; they are correct. Once war breaks out, despite being a Level 3 civilization, we will become cannon fodder in the two major forces’ war on the Orion Arm!” “Be patient awhile longer; the time is almost right!” Zi Gu wanted to reject the order, but reason told her she couldn’t allow personal feelings to burden the entire civilization. “Alright, I’ll retreat!” Zi Gu took a deep breath and said. The Maoshi Star Civilization fleet retreated, and upon witnessing this, Huo Sen sent the news to He Xingzhou, saying: “The Maoshi Star Civilization has retreated, the war is over!” “Thank you so much!” He Xingzhou expressed his gratitude. Huo Sen laughed: “It’s actually because your strength is formidable; otherwise, those decision-makers might not have agreed to dispatch the fleet.” ɴᴇᴡ ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀʀᴇ ᴘᴜʙʟɪsʜᴇᴅ ᴏɴ noveⅼfire.net “Next, you’ll have a golden development period; I advise you not to provoke the Maoshi Star Civilization for the time being.” “Its affiliated civilizations shouldn’t count as Maoshi Star Civilization, right?” He Xingzhou said. Huo Sen chuckled, neither directly confirming nor denying. After a brief chat, Huo Sen reminded: “While you’re developing, also keep an eye on the Black Sea Civilization.” “Black Sea Civilization?” He Xingzhou was somewhat puzzled. Huo Sen said, “The Black Sea Civilization is showing signs of being unable to withstand the Zerg invasion; it’s likely that the situation will change soon. We fear the Black Sea Civilization may lean toward the Orion Royal Court due to the Zerg invasion. Moreover, the Zerg expansion rate is increasing, and it’s only a matter of time before they reach your territory.” “I understand.” He Xingzhou took note of this matter and planned to discuss it with Bai Ningxiang later. After severing the communication, everyone in the Blue Star Civilization breathed a sigh of relief; with no Level 3 civilization stepping in, their victory was assured! “Everyone, it’s time to head to Sirius to welcome our new golden development period!” He Xingzhou announced loudly.
