Cui Weimin expanded the intelligence department, cultivating spies among various races, trying to spread the intelligence network from them to the Star Trading Group, the Orion Royal Court, and even other arms of the Milky Way. Lv Mei oversaw resource extraction and star system development in various star systems. Song Jinhong and Jiang Chan had already gone to the territory of the former Black Sea Civilization, researching Constant Star Giant Beasts and Starry Sky Giant Beasts with Bai Yuwei and others. Meanwhile, He Hongwei stayed stationed at the star system bordering the Maoshi Star Civilization, ready to respond to their attacks at any moment. Luo An, Qiu Hong, Huang Sheng, Meng Hai, Ding Yue, Xie Wu, and others, there are now more than twenty Level 1 Commanders in the Blue Star Civilization, each stationed in different star systems. Centered around the Solar System, over half of the 113 stars within twenty light years are already under the control of the Blue Star Civilization. If it weren’t for the limited speed of warp speed battleship construction and limited population, the Blue Star Civilization would have governed all these star systems. Due to the rapid expansion of territory, the Blue Star Civilization is now facing a new issue: the inclusion of alien races into their civilization. For example, after the Sirius Civilization surrendered, they received a population of over a trillion. Rebels naturally needed to be dealt with, but for ordinary people and elite talents, the Blue Star Civilization continued to ensure their safety. After research by the Command Headquarters, they temporarily adopted a "Alliance" civilization approach. These civilizations are allies of the Blue Star Alliance. Of course, they are still overall under their control, but the system is relatively more lenient compared to affiliated civilization regimes. For instance, they are allowed to independently develop technology with no technological blockade and have their means of external trade. The Blue Star Civilization provides transportation and navigation protection among other things, but corresponding fees must be charged. Previously among the civilizations in the Maoshi Star Union, joining the Blue Star Alliance proved to be more favorable than being an affiliated civilization to the Maoshi Star Civilization, naturally reducing their resistance. Their only worry is that the Blue Star Civilization might be unable to withstand the Maoshi Star Civilization, fearing the latter’s retribution. The Black Sea Civilization, now the Ice Sea Civilization, was renamed after the Iceberg Investigation Association took over the remaining population, to distinguish it from the original. Inside the Ice Sea Civilization, Bai Yuwei, Jiang Chan, Song Jinhong, Bai Shizao, and Bai Yao are focusing on a war. In a nearby star system called Deer Horn, the Zerg are approaching. A hundred or so years after the Black Sea Civilization disintegrated, Zerg occupied three additional star systems within their territory. Reconnaissance images show that this time over a hundred Constant Star Giant Beasts are moving. "This should be a migrating dispersal of the Zerg!" Song Jinhong determined, "The resources in the original star system have been occupied by more powerful Zerg, so they have to leave to find their own territory." "Judging by the flight path, this is indeed the case. They might have flown in from a star system that has Starry Sky Giant Beasts." Bai Shizao analyzed. "Is there enough strength to defend the Deer Horn Star System?" Song Jinhong asked. Mentioning this, Bai Yao looked awkward, saying, "No Star Domain-level battleships left, we can still mobilize one Level 3 Warp Battleship." After the Black Sea Civilization disintegrated, they were left with only a pile of junk, a few Star Domain-level battleships, all defending the border. "Then we’ll have to rely on ourselves." Song Jinhong said after contacting the Blue Star Civilization fleet commander stationed here, Ouyang Bo. "Captain Ouyang, take your fleet to the Deer Horn Star System. Over a hundred Constant Star Giant Beasts are approaching the Deer Horn Star System." "Roger that!" Ouyang Bo immediately ordered the fleet to depart, consisting of five Level 4 Warp Battleships, all constructed and commissioned by the Blue Star Civilization within the last century nearby. Level 4 Warp, more than a hundred times the speed of light! Thus, in less than a month, they arrived at the Deer Horn Star System. By this time, the Zerg had already arrived at the edge of the star system, having occupied an icy giant planet at the star system’s edge. "This is ours now!" Some Constant Star Giant Beasts devoured the substance on the planet, having burned a lot of energy during their space journey. "Useless." Their leader, called "Lord of Light," a Constant Star Giant Beast emitting radiant glow and radiation all over its body, exclaimed. The Lord of Light ordered, "The planets in this star system are yours, the star is mine!" The beasts looked greedily at the star, their true source of energy and resources. Yet, they dared not challenge the Lord of Light, reluctantly agreeing. "Just wait, once we regain strength, we’ll definitely seize this star!" The bugs thought to themselves. Even Constant Star Giant Beasts cannot devour an entire star, so they still have a chance. They will continue to grow, becoming Constant Star Devourers. If they can consume a quarter, or an entire small-mass star, these Zerg will have the opportunity to evolve into Starry Sky Giant Beasts. By then, only a Level 4 Civilization would be able to deal with them! Within the Deer Horn Star System, over ten billion people lived, all members of the Ice Sea Civilization. They refused to break away from the Black Sea Civilization, deciding to stay and join the Ice Sea Civilization to resist the Zerg. But their most advanced weaponry included only one Level 3 Warp Battleship, the Deer Horn. On the Deer Horn, Captain Xu You looked at the scenarios in the recon image, almost in despair. "A hundred or more Constant Star Giant Beasts, needing at least a hundred warp speed battleships—how do we fight this alone?" Xu You, who is over eighteen hundred years old and experienced in Zerg warfare, understood clearly that going forward meant certain death. "They should have evacuated, moved to branch civilizations!" Someone regretted, wanting to leave. "If we leave, our relatives will die! They’re still living in this star system!" "If we proceed, it’s just like mantis trying to stop a wagon! Without Star Domain-level battleships, how do we deal with so many Constant Star Giant Beasts?" The crew argued non-stop, inevitably leading to a rebellion. At that moment, a message was relayed to them. "This is the Blue Star Civilization fleet, we’ve arrived at the Deer Horn Star System. Deer Horn, immediately transfer the civilians—we’ll take over the defense here!" Came Ouyang Bo’s voice. "It’s the Blue Star Civilization fleet!" Everyone felt a surge of relief; unexpectedly they got help, truly a miracle! "The Blue Star Civilization fleet may not be a match for the Zerg." "In any case, let’s transfer first!" Xu You felt uneasy, reminding them, "These Zerg are very terrifying, battle-experienced, be careful." At this time, the Blue Star Civilization battleships had started the battle. Fast Particle Weapons began firing from a one light year distance and hit the Constant Star Giant Beasts within a minute. "Who’s attacking me?" A Constant Star Giant Beast roared furiously, having just lost half of its body! "I’ve also been attacked, where’s the enemy?" Due to the distance, the bugs didn’t even know who the enemy was. "The attack was too fast, I couldn’t react!" A Constant Star Giant Beast, unable to dodge in time, was pierced by a Fast Particle Light Spear, the energy released shattered its crystal core, abruptly dying in the vacuum. Nearby counterparts instantly dismembered it, while feeling dread, wondering where the enemy emerged from? "It’s the Blue Star Civilization’s Fast Particle Weapons!" The Lord of Light judged, "After the Black Sea Civilization disintegrated, this territory became Blue Star Civilization’s ground!" "They say these guys are tough to deal with; they’ve destroyed one of our branches before!" "That was nothing more than a Planet Devourer; we’re Constant Star Giant Beasts, what’s there to fear?" "Fast Particle Weapons? A constant plasma protection layer will be enough!" Thɪs chapter is updatᴇd by NoveI~Fire.net "My reconnaissance insect has already located them, let’s go meet them!" As the Lord of Light launched the attack, it deployed a Space Insect Nest, hatching reconnaissance insects to scout the situation. By this time, scout insects had found the location of the Blue Star Civilization fleet. Some Constant Star Giant Beasts began warp speed travel, heading toward the fleet! "The bugs are coming!" It was one of their territories, Zerg movement was under human commander control. "How nostalgic. It’s been hundreds of years since we last fought the bugs!" Ouyang Bo lamented.
