Chapter 571: Chapter 338: Isolated and Helpless All the planets within its star have been dismantled, along with the material from surrounding star systems, creating a ring-shaped world encasing the Constant Star Furnace, crafted by the Star Trading Group! On both sides of the ring, there are clusters of cities, industrial groups, and habitat environments similar to planetary surfaces. In the face of Level 4 Civilization technology, forget about concepts like “round heaven and square earth”; transforming the world into a “ring-shaped belt” is entirely achievable. Around the ring world, there is a giant Star Gate, standing empty in the vacuum, with no ships passing through. “Why is there still no news from the front-line fleet? Subspace communication has been interrupted!” Commander Yak of the ring world is anxiously waiting for their fleet’s return. “Yak, it’s the final month!” Huo Sen from the Ptolemy Civilization said to him, “If there’s still no news, everyone evacuate the M35 Star Cluster!” They estimate that the expedition fleet has likely been wiped out. “The M35 Star Cluster is our last buffer zone with the Orion Royal Court. Without it, we’ll be facing direct threats!” Yak remains reluctant, “Give me another Galaxy-level Fleet, and we still have a chance!” “Yak, you must understand, we can’t allow more losses in the M35 Star Cluster!” Huo Sen reminded, “Our star domain needs more protection!” “This is chronic death!” Yak shouted, “This is an entire star cluster, 2,500 constant stars! Without them, we’ll be completely trapped by the Orion Royal Court!” “Follow the plan.” Huo Sen also had no choice; they’ve already tried their best. But those Galaxy Nobles still have some super weapons from the former Galaxy Empire, causing heavy losses. Closing communication, Yak was silent for a long time before saying, “Prepare to evacuate!” “General!” The subordinates also are unwilling to accept defeat, but without support, they are no longer a match for Marquis Yunxiao. The Star Gate opens, and within the ring world, people board Galaxy-level warships and enter the Star Gate, returning to their star domain. At this moment, the space fluctuation detector sounded an alarm. “A space-time distortion has occurred, detecting the formation of an Insecthole!” Outside the ring world, a temporary Insecthole appeared, followed by a Galaxy-level battleship emerging from it. Along with it, came the weapons of the Galaxy-level battleship. A giant gravity bomb landed outside the ring world, instantly collapsing the gravitational balance of the entire ring world, causing it to disintegrate and fall into the Constant Star Furnace. The Constant Star Furnace itself also experienced uncontrolled stellar energy due to gravity changes, unleashing endless plasma explosion, blowing the entire Constant Star Furnace apart. Without any resistance, this ring world was completely destroyed, the entire star system engulfed by the plasma storm and gamma-ray burst from the stellar explosion, leaving nothing behind! “The final stronghold in the M35 Star Cluster has been destroyed!” The Star Trading Group immediately learned the news. This was within their calculations, but they didn’t expect it to happen so quickly. “From now on, we will lose operational initiative and can only defend passively!” A main operator of the Star Trading Group sighed. “The balance of war has tilted, future prospects are bleak!” “Recall the fleets stationed in other edge star domains, return all to the main star domain for defense.” Those fleets originally stationed in other regions began to withdraw. The Star Domain-level fleet near the Blue Star Civilization also received orders. Huo Sen also informed He Xingzhou of this decision. “Our co-defense fleet is about to withdraw; the situation in this area will change, and it’ll be up to you.” Huo Sen said. He Xingzhou frowned slightly, and said, “Can’t they stay a little longer?” “I’ve already tried my best.” Huo Sen’s tone was helpless, “You know, a Star Domain-level fleet stationed here for hundreds of years, consumes immense resources.” “Now the resources of the Star Trading Group are strained, and we must save every unnecessary expense.” “In the future in the M45 Star Cluster, you’ll have to rely on yourselves.” Huo Sen didn’t hide their intentions; rather than catching the Blue Star Civilization off guard, it’s better to directly prepare them. “Since you need to withdraw, I can’t stop you.” He Xingzhou said, “Your years of stationing have indeed helped us greatly, and I express gratitude on behalf of our civilization.” “Additionally, I have one more request.” The rightful source is N0veI.Fiɾe.net “Go ahead.” Huo Sen said. “Allocate all military resources of the Star Trading Group in the M45 Star Cluster for our Blue Star Civilization’s use!” He Xingzhou said, “Only then can we better resist invasions from the Maoshi Star Union and the Orion Royal Court.” In the M45 Star Cluster, Maoshi Star Union has established many space outposts and military bases, and additionally, they control many civilizations. This is a huge fortune, if given to the Blue Star Civilization, it could greatly increase their strength! Huo Sen hesitated and said, “When the Black Sea Civilization existed, these resources were under their control.” “After the disintegration of the Black Sea Civilization, these resources came under joint control of our Ptolemy Civilization and the Night Owl Civilization. These things, I can’t decide.” “You must know, these resources combined can completely arm a Level 3 Civilization!” “Then please, Mr. Huo Sen, discuss with the other main operators!” He Xingzhou continued, “Aside from mobile warships, the rest can’t be taken, only destroyed or given away cheaply.” “Better to give them to us; it won’t harm Maoshi Star Union!” “Moreover, I’ve investigated all Star Trading Group members in the M45 Star Cluster, and now our Blue Star Civilization is the strongest! Only by letting us lead them in war!” “That’s not certain.” Huo Sen said, “Don’t forget, there are the Sea Beast Civilization and Fishman Civilization, both inheriting the Black Sea Civilization’s legacy. Currently, Fishman Civilization has a civilization level of 3.2, Sea Beast Civilization 3.3, higher than yours!” “Those two civilizations have long drifted apart from the Star Trading Group!” He Xingzhou said, “If resources are given to them, and they directly defect and surrender, the Star Trading Group suffers greater losses!” “Our Blue Star Civilization can guarantee fighting to the end against the Maoshi Star Union and the Orion Royal Court!” Huo Sen thought for a while and said, “Okay, I will do my best to facilitate this, wait for my news.” “After our fleet withdraws, Maoshi Star Union will certainly attack, I hope you can hold until then.” “Don’t worry, our strength is much improved now. We may not eliminate the Maoshi Star Civilization, but self-preservation is more than sufficient!” He Xingzhou said confidently. The weapons manufactured by the Planet Factory over the years have been deployed in various star domains. Their overall strength has increased more than tenfold! “Then I’ll wait and see!” Huo Sen offered his blessings, “Wish you all the best!” The Star Trading Group’s fleet departed, closely monitored by the Maoshi Star Civilization. “They finally left!” Zi Gu had been waiting for this opportunity for hundreds of years and impatiently contacted other governors, “Everyone, our chance to eliminate the Blue Star Civilization and seize the entire M45 Star Cluster is here!” In the M45 Star Cluster, apart from the already dissipated Black Sea Civilization, there is currently no Level 4 Civilization. Whoever can control this star cluster, becoming a Level 4 Civilization is just a matter of time. “I’ve received instructions from Marquis Yunxiao.” Jiang Gu appeared in the governor’s conference hall, “Take control of the M45 Star Cluster as quickly as possible!” “So, after preparing for these hundreds of years, it’s time to showcase our strength!” “The first target to eliminate is the Blue Star Civilization.” “We’ve simulated countless combat plans!” Other governors said excitedly. “Contact the Sea Beast Civilization and Fishman Civilization, have them attack together.” “When we strike, it must be with overwhelming force to completely obliterate the Blue Star Civilization, leaving no chance for counterattack or escape!” Jiang Gu said. Their operation this time is not a simple assault, but full-scale eradication! Three Level 3 Civilizations joining forces, Maoshi Star Civilization couldn’t foresee Blue Star Civilization having any means to resist them!
