Chapter 573: Chapter 339: Where Did They Get Their Troops? The source of this content ɪs novelFɪre.net “Sirius Fleet?” Bai Ningxiang knew that the Blue Star Civilization currently names its fleets after star systems. The Sirius Fleet, naturally, is the fleet from the Sirius Star System. That’s the location of the Constant Star Furnace, a military stronghold, and the Sirius Fleet is definitely one of the main fleets of the Blue Star Civilization. “Isn’t it overkill to deploy the Sirius Fleet against the Fishman Civilization?” Bai Ningxiang asked. “No, the Sirius Fleet is just right.” He Xingzhou’s thoughts were clear: even if they sent out all their warships in this enemy siege, they might not defeat the Maoshi Star Civilization. So from the start, he adopted a defensive strategy against the Maoshi Star Civilization, but against the Maoshi Star Civilization’s allies, the Fishman Civilization and the Sea Beast Civilization, they couldn’t let them have it easy! Soon, Xu Zhilan brought news: “The Sea Beast Civilization Fleet has been deployed. It’s a star domain-level main fleet, including ten Level 6 warp speed battleships and two Level 7 warp speed battleships.” “I’ve already led the Sun Fleet to head there.” “Good!” He Xingzhou advised, “Stay alert, the enemy may have more moves!” Operations from all sides have begun. This is one of the largest battles in the M45 Star Cluster in a thousand years, so the entire cluster’s civilizations, the Star Trading Group, and the Orion Royal Court are all paying attention to this war. In the Virtual Universe, representatives of many civilizations of the Star Trading Group are following the battle in real-time, including several principals of the Star Trading Group. “The Blue Star Civilization has proposed to gain control and jurisdiction over all resources of the Star Trading Group in the M45 Star Cluster, and this point is still under consideration.” “If they have the strength, why not give it to them? They can just help us stop the Orion Royal Court’s offensive!” “If they can’t, these resources, even if wasted, must not fall into the enemy’s hands!” Those Level 2 and Level 3 civilizations are even more worried than the Blue Star Civilization’s commanders. “The Maoshi Star Civilization, Sea Beast Civilization, and Fishman Civilization, three Level 3 civilizations, are besieging. The Blue Star Civilization is in trouble!” “Yeah, dealing with just a regular Level 3 civilization is difficult enough! These three civilizations: the Maoshi Star Civilization has the support of the Orion Royal Court, and the Sea Beast and Fishman Civilizations have inherited the technology of the Black Sea Civilization, making them much stronger than typical Level 3 civilizations!” “With them teaming up, how can the Blue Star Civilization defend?” “According to reliable sources, the enemy has deployed over thirty star domain-level battleships in total, with more to come!” Upon hearing this news, these civilization representatives could only sigh helplessly, “The enemy’s numbers are too great, the Star Trading Group can’t provide support, the Blue Star Civilization… is in grave danger!” In their impression, even for a Level 3 civilization, manufacturing a star domain-level battleship is a highly time-consuming and labor-intensive task. It takes decades to build just one! Although the Blue Star Civilization is wealthy, they have only developed for a short time and still cannot possess so many weapons. In the Virtual Universe, Bai Ningxiang and Bai Shizao were already berating the Blue Shark. “Blue Shark, as a descendant of the Black Sea Civilization, how dare you side with the enemy and attack your own kin? Have you any conscience?” Bai Yao questioned. The Blue Shark sneered, “Don’t be naive anymore, the Black Sea Civilization has long been destroyed! In the future, there are no kin, only enemies!” “I advise you to surrender immediately. For the sake of our past kinship, I will spare you and preserve your lives!” “Surrender?” Bai Ningxiang’s almond eyes widened, saying, “Blue Shark, we originally had the power to eliminate you, but we allowed you to live a few hundred more years for kinship. Since you are unkind, don’t blame us for being unrighteous!” “The Fishman Civilization will meet its doom due to your foolish actions!” “The little girl still has a sharp tongue!” Blue Shark scoffed, “See you on the battlefield!” Their fleet was closing in on the Ice Sea Civilization, but before reaching the border star domain, they encountered attacks from fast particle weapons and warp weapons. The Sirius Fleet of the Blue Star Civilization had already arrived. “How did they get here so quickly?” The Fishman Civilization’s commander, Fesi, was astonished. He had just received news that the Blue Star Civilization’s main fleet was being held by the Maoshi Star Civilization at the Sea Demon Civilization Star Domain Defense Line. “Sir, the enemy’s firepower is too fierce, it’s difficult for us to even approach the star system!” The captains reported to Fesi. Constant attacks from fast particle weapons and warp weapons forced them to exit warp speed travel, raise energy shields, and activate the weapon interception system. Even so, the enemy’s firepower still left them unable to take a single step forward. “Reconnaissance ship, how many enemies are there exactly? Why is the firepower so strong?” Fesi shouted. Their reconnaissance ships had been deployed long ago; after a while, the reconnaissance ship’s captain finally replied, “There are at least ten star domain-level warships of the enemy!” “What? Ten?” Fesi exclaimed in disbelief, “How could they have so many star domain-level warships?” The Sea Demon Civilization itself was supposed to have twenty already, wasn’t it? Their Fishman Civilization took on average twenty years to build a star domain-level warship, so manufacturing ten in two hundred years was roughly the speed. The Blue Star Civilization has only been a Level 3 civilization for over two hundred years. Even if they could build one every ten years, there should only be just over twenty! Where did these warships come from? Fesi, helpless, could only report the situation truthfully and said to Blue Shark, “Sir, the enemy’s firepower is strong, we can’t get close, we can only have a passive defense.” “Passive defense?” Blue Shark ate a humble pie, having just made threats to Bai Ningxiang and others, and now couldn’t even enter their star domain! “There are ten here; the Blue Star Civilization can’t have more.” Blue Shark immediately contacted Bai Sha, saying, “Bai Sha, it’s your turn!” “Haha, it’s time for us to shine!” Bai Sha thought, since the Blue Star Civilization had already displayed thirty star domain-level battleships, other areas must be weak in defense. Attacking with their fleet would be like cutting through butter, wouldn’t it? “Attack, attack! In this war, we are the main players!” The Sea Beast Civilization Fleet commander Rugen shouted to his subordinates, “The enemy doesn’t have much defense power left. We need to strike while our allies hold them, and take down the Blue Star Civilization in one fell swoop!” “It’s time for us to make our mark!” The captains couldn’t wait any longer. “We’ve long been displeased with the Blue Star Civilization, it’s a humiliation that a low-level civilization could run rampant on our turf and subjugate the Ice Sea Civilization and Sea Demon Civilization!” “We will overthrow the Blue Star Civilization and take its place!” Their fleet had already reached the Blue Star Civilization’s border star domain, but before exiting the warp bubble, they were hit by warp weapon assaults. “Exit the warp bubble! Prepare for battle!” commanded Rugen. All warships exited the warp bubble simultaneously, and twelve colossal star domain-level warships appeared in space. This was an extremely formidable force, without exaggeration, if they desired, they could pulverize a star system into dust! All the captains were filled with confidence, such power was enough to be considered the main fleet, even during the Black Sea Civilization era! Taking down a besieged Blue Star Civilization would be a breeze, wouldn’t it? However, right as they exited the warp bubble, they were greeted with a more intense attack. Fast particle torrents, warp antimatter cannons, and warp kinetic cannons all rained down on them, enveloping every warship. Several warships had their energy shields pierced directly by fast particle weapons, damaging their hulls. “Defend, defend!” Rugen immediately realized they had been ambushed! Such concentrated and fierce firepower was impossible without ten star domain-level warships! “Sir, the enemy has appeared!” The reconnaissance ship had already detected the Blue Star Civilization fleet one light year away, and the captain reported in fear, “Their numbers, twice ours!” “Twice?” Rugen was shocked, questioning: “Where did they get so many warships?” “I don’t know either, but we’ve confirmed that one light year away, twenty-four star domain-level warships have appeared, and they’re attacking us!”
