"Three months?" Blue Dragon was anxious, saying: "Didn’t you support the Blue Star Civilization very quickly before?" Huo Sen explained: "Last time, the Maoshi Star Civilization only deployed Level 6 Warp Speed Battleships. This time, Level 7 and Level 8 Warp Speed Battleships have appeared, indicating their civilization’s strength has significantly increased again." "One reason they dare attack you is because Marquis Yunxiao is restricting us, and we don’t have more advanced Star Domain-level Fleets to send for support." Obviously, the other side has prepared well, certain that the Conch Civilization would find no support during this time. Blue Dragon, helplessly, sent requests for help to other "brother" civilizations, but received no direct response. The Red Scale of the Sea Demon Civilization replied: "We really want to help, but we are the weakest in power, currently only a Level 2.9 Civilization, with no means to counter them." The Blue Shark of the Fishman Civilization replied: "We have already dispatched a Warp Fleet, expected to arrive in two months." Bai Sha of the Sea Beast Civilization, also understanding the principle of mutual survival, immediately replied: "You must hold on, our support fleet has already set out!" Although they were all willing to help, the distance of their territories posed time difficulties. Another day passed, and within that day, another Star System fell, and five Warp Speed Battleships were destroyed. "What’s the defense situation now?" Blue Dragon asked Luoyin. Luoyin, sounding weary, said: "The enemy is attacking multiple Star Systems simultaneously, much stronger than us; we can only fight fires as they arise, abandoning some peripheral Star Systems." He spoke as if it was a simple matter, but behind it, countless residents died or were captured. "Can we really hold out for three months?" Blue Dragon muttered to himself. "I’m afraid it’s unlikely." Luoyin said truthfully. Blue Dragon took a deep breath and said: "Looks like we need to prepare for the worst!" "I understand!" Luoyin said, "If the situation still doesn’t improve in a day, we’ll activate the evacuation plan." They had long planned for such a scenario, if they couldn’t win, they would continue migrating and become a wandering civilization. This was the direst plan! For the residents of the Conch Civilization, they would never want to become an affiliated civilization of the Maoshi Star Civilization. As they themselves had Level 3 Civilization technology, they certainly wouldn’t willingly be colonized by another Level 3 Civilization. The Conch Civilization sent out distress signals not only to the Star Trading Group and their related civilizations but also the Blue Star Civilization received the SOS. "We just finished fighting the Constant Star Devourer when the Maoshi Star Civilization attacked the Conch Civilization. The timing is cunning, we have no resources to support." Luo An said, "Warships are overused and require maintenance." "Just repairing the Gold Battle Star will take several years." "Even if we supported them, we’d lose to the Maoshi Star Civilization." He Hongwei said, "They have Gravity Weapons and Warp Weapons, our Fast Particle Weapons have no advantage against them!" "The Conch Civilization is a hundred light-years from our territory, then comes the Sea Demon Civilization." He Xingzhou looked at the Star Map and said: "We have almost no defense in those areas; if the Maoshi Star Civilization breaks through there all the way, it would be easier than directly attacking the Solar System vicinity!" "Unless a higher-level civilization intervenes, we can’t stop the fall of the Conch Civilization." Lei Yuanfeng said, "There’s not enough time." "But we can’t let the Maoshi Star Civilization gain the upper hand !" Xu Zhilan pointed at the Star Map, "Branch civilizations of the Black Sea Civilization, when searching for a homeland, always choose resource-rich Star Domains." "The territories of the Conch Civilization and Sea Demon Civilization are resource-rich and vast. Just the Conch Civilization occupies over forty Star Systems, adding the Sea Demon Civilization’s thirty Star Systems; once the Maoshi Star Civilization captures them, their strength will double directly!" "They are now estimated to be above Level 3.4 Civilization, if their strength doubles, breaking through Level 3.5 Civilization, then it would truly be the end for us!" He Xingzhou agreed: "Zhilan is right, we cannot just sit idly by." "Since we can’t support directly, we can’t just watch." He Xingzhou looked at Bai Ningxiang and said: "Ningxiang, dispatch rescue warships under the name of the Ice Sea Civilization, to accept refugees from the Conch Civilization." Among these refugees are many high intelligence elites, absorbing them will strengthen the civilization’s power. "Additionally, communicate with them and the Sea Demons, tell them not to surrender!" "Alright, I’ll handle this immediately!" Bai Ningxiang was very attentive, as those people were once her kin. "Commanders." He Xingzhou addressed the fleet commanders again, "This time the Maoshi Star Civilization’s attack on the Conch Civilization means their internal forces must be vacant." "Our power can’t yet achieve a diversion tactic, but we can seize some territory. Attack their affiliated civilizations, all the way to the border of the Maoshi Star Civilization!" The region surrounding the Maoshi Star Civilization’s Star Domain is filled with their affiliated civilizations, forming a circle that protects them. When the Maoshi Star Civilization expands, they either directly annex the affiliated civilizations or make them relocate. They use this method to gradually expand their core circle. If they had captured the Solar System back then, presumably their core circle would have already spread to the Solar System! The commanders immediately gathered strength and began attacking the Maoshi Star Civilization’s affiliated civilizations, applying significant pressure on the Maoshi Star Civilization. Without the Maoshi Star Civilization’s Star Domain-level Fleet present, all their affiliated civilizations are no match for the Blue Star Civilization! This is the Gold Battle Star temporarily losing its combat capability, otherwise, it would crush everything along its path! The three-day deadline arrived, seeing that the Conch Civilization had no intention of surrendering, Jiang Gu directly ordered to intensify the attack, striving to quickly eliminate the Conch Civilization. The Conch Civilization was unable to resist, having to voluntarily contract its territory, abandoning Star Systems in peripheral areas, narrowing down to the core circle. Even so, they still struggled to resist the attacks of the Maoshi Star Civilization, losing on average one Star System every ten days! After two months, the Conch Civilization’s territory had shrunk by half! Much shorter than their expected three-year resistance. At this point, the support fleets of various civilizations gradually arrived, slowing the Maoshi Star Civilization’s aggression somewhat. But this did not stop the declining trend of the Conch Civilization. The downfall continued, and six months later, the Conch Civilization’s territorial control was less than ten Star Systems. "We’ve lost another Star System. The support fleet is no match for them!" Blue Dragon was already exhausted. "Sir, we’ve relocated half the residents, some have gone to other civilizations, while others plan to wander alongside us." Luoyin said. "Wandering?" Blue Dragon smiled bitterly, saying: "From the Black Sea Civilization wandering to here, and then continue wandering. We’re like stray dogs, chased and driven away!" Luoyin remained silent, as the hardships they faced were deeply felt by everyone. "There’s no escape." Blue Dragon sighed, saying: "The entire Orion Arm is at war, the Orion King’s warfare has swept through every Star Cluster!" "Other arms have long had owners, we have few Star Domain-level Battleships left, can we possibly flee out of the Milky Way?" "What should we do then, sir?" Luoyin asked for his opinion. "Dissolve internally and join other civilizations." Blue Dragon’s voice was filled with helplessness, "Whether it’s the Sea Beast Civilization or the Fishman Civilization, even the Blue Star Civilization, joining them there might be a chance for survival." New ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄhapters are published on NoveI★Fire.net "As for the Sea Demon Civilization, it’s not worth considering. Their strength is weaker, once we’re exterminated, they’re next!" After saying this, Blue Dragon said: "I’m tired, you go discuss this matter." "I understand." Luoyin felt bitter inside, realizing that they’ve finally reached this step. Meanwhile, the Blue Star Civilization was sweeping Maoshi Star Civilization’s affiliated civilizations while engaging in interstellar construction. He Xingzhou’s Quantum Light Computer was undergoing another upgrade because the Constant Star Furnace had been completely completed!
