When they arrived, there were nine Star Domain-level battleships; now they’ve lost four Level 6 warp speed battleships, and only four Level 6 warp speed battleships and one Level 7 warp speed battleship remain. In contrast, the Blue Star Civilization has only lost two Level 6 warp speed battleships. The most deadly thing is that this is Blue Star Civilization’s territory; their supply seems endless and their firepower blanket has never stopped! The four Level 6 warp speed battleships were almost all lost because their energy was exhausted, depleting their energy shields and battleship armor. "Retreat, retreat!" Fesi gritted his teeth, "If we don’t retreat, our little savings will be all gone!" He reported his decision to the Fishman Civilization leader, Blue Shark. "How long has it been, and you can’t hold on?" Blue Shark was very annoyed, he had just finished boasting in front of Bai Ningxiang and others, and they hadn’t even touched the opponent’s doorstep before being driven back? "We must retreat!" Fesi said helplessly, "Our original plan was just to entangle them, letting Pleiades Star Civilization and Sea Beast Civilization attack. Now that they are making no progress, our pressure is too great!" "If we don’t retreat, our fleet will truly be wiped out!" Upon hearing this, Blue Shark felt aggrieved; what kind of battle is this? He was hoping for a hearty battlefield, or a crushing victory! Unexpectedly, they became the first to be pushed back. "Retreat!" Blue Shark said, "Preserve our strength, we’ve done what we can, let Pleiades Star Civilization and Sea Beast Civilization take action!" They were the first to withdraw from the battlefield. "They want to retreat?" He Xingzhou noticed the situation and immediately ordered the fleet: "Pursue, destroy as many as you can!" "Yes!" The commander of this fleet, Qiu Hong, led the pursuit. "Damn it, we’re retreating, aren’t they going to support other places?" Fesi was almost spitting blood, "Accelerate, accelerate! Support fleet, come to aid immediately!" "The Fishman Civilization is being driven back already?" Bai Sha, aware of the situation, cursed: "You’re too weak!" Blue Shark retorted: "You think you’re strong, yet you’re also getting beaten!" Bai Sha was speechless and could only say: "At least we didn’t retreat, we’re still holding on!" "But the Pleiades Star Civilization, what are you doing? Where is your main fleet?" Jiang Gu responded: "Hold on for a few more days; Blue Star Civilization doesn’t have much power left. Within ten days, our main fleet will launch an attack!" "Okay, ten days!" Bai Sha gritted his teeth, "We’ll hold on for ten more days, if there’s no turnaround, we’ll retreat too!" Blue Shark said: "Our fleet will harass the surroundings; in ten days, we’ll decide whether to continue sending more troops!" "Rest assured, there will be results within ten days!" Jiang Gu assured. Ten days later, on the outskirts of the Sirius Star System, a warp fleet slowly exited warp travel. It’s not that they didn’t want to continue going forward, but that this is already a major zone of Blue Star Civilization; the outskirts of the Star System are arranged with plenty of reconnaissance satellites and space outposts. Continuing forward is likely to invite attacks. In warp travel, warships are still in cosmic space, not surpassing space-time dimensions, so they are still subject to attacks, and if their warp bubble is broken by attacks, the warship will suffer devastating damage. "We are still a light year away from the Sirius Star System. We will soon be discovered by Blue Star Civilization." A subordinate reported, and Zi Gu decisively said, "Instead of giving them reaction time, we might as well attack directly." "Directly attack their space base and constant star furnace!" "Activate warp weapons!" "Warp weapons, launch!" On the warship, one after another, warp weapons entered the warp bubble, continuing warp speed travel towards the Sirius Star System. Even if intercepted, they don’t mind; as long as the warship is intact, they can continue launching warp weapons. This change quickly caught the attention of Blue Star Civilization. "Detected unknown space fluctuation, suspected warp travel." "Found warp weapons, intercepted three warp missiles." "Detected enemy targets, too numerous, reporting to command headquarters." "Activate star system defense systems, space defense matrix initiated; planetary defense system activated; mechanical planet temporarily closed, activating defense status; constant star furnace activating energy shield." All levels of defense systems have begun activation; in the Blue Star Alliance Command Headquarters, He Xingzhou saw the information coming from the front line and sneered: "Finally, they’ve come, the main fleet of Pleiades Star Civilization!" "Goodness, quite a number!" He Hongwei looked at the information from the outpost; they have detected that the enemy’s main fleet numbers thirty warships, including twenty Level 6 warp speed battleships, seven Level 7 warp speed battleships, and three Level 8 warp speed battleships. Generally, a Level 7 warp speed battleship is considered to have five times the firepower of a Level 6, and a Level 8 has ten times. So it can be calculated that the enemy has dispatched the equivalent of eighty-five Level 6 warp speed battleships! This power is enough to sweep any Level 3 civilization—except for Blue Star Civilization. "Originally, we thought the star domain-level warships we made were already quite a lot, but Pleiades Star Civilization has quite a few as well!" The reason Blue Star Civilization has so many warp speed battleships is all thanks to the "Lu Ban" Planet Factory, which mass-produces warp speed battleships. Apart from the warships already engaged, star domain-level warships, they can mobilize about fifty, most of which are Level 6 warp speed, and the highest being only Level 7. In terms of fleet strength alone, they are no match for Pleiades Star Civilization. But Blue Star Civilization’s advantage lies in fighting on the home front, with defensive equipment and logistical support. "First appear weak, let the enemy advance a bit closer." He Xingzhou didn’t recklessly strike out, he said: "Gold Battle Star, set off immediately, form a surrounding formation!" "In this war, we need to severely damage Pleiades Star Civilization!" In the Sirius Star System, the interceptive battle has already begun. The fleet defending the Sirius Star System started launching weapons from long range, using warp weapons and fast particle weapons for bombardment. "Raise the fast particle shield!" Zi Gu remained expressionless; they were well prepared and already had a way to defend against fast particle weapons. The shield formed by fast particles can be immune to most fast particle weapon attacks, instantly rendering half of Blue Star Civilization’s responses ineffective! And those warp weapons also found it hard to get close to them, all intercepted by the battleships. "Counterattack!" The warp kinetic cannons launched from the Level 7 and 8 warp speed battleships, if they hit, have enough power to punch through a planet! The Blue Star Civilization fleet dared not slack off at all; even if one warp kinetic bomb wasn’t intercepted, it would be a huge disaster! Twenty-four hours after the war started, Blue Star Civilization had lost thirteen space outposts! The Pleiades Star Civilization fleet advanced by one-tenth of a light year; this is a fast pace, and if they keep this speed, they could capture the Sirius Star System in only half a month. "Blue Star Civilization has currently deployed fifteen star domain-level battleships; they indeed have hidden strength." Zi Gu continuously dispatched reconnaissance ships, "However, unfortunately, they’re all Level 6 warp speed battleships and cannot stop us!" "The constant star furnace’s defense capability is strong, and there’s even an extra mechanical planet in this Star System." She isn’t clear what Lu Ban Planet is for; current investigations suggest it seems to be a space factory. "It’s too wasteful to destroy it directly!" Jiang Gu said, "You continue to maintain advancement, I will go negotiate with Blue Star Civilization; if we can take over the constant star furnace and mechanical planet intact, our strength will increase greatly!" "Guarantee mission completion!" Zi Gu continued to have the fleet advance, so far the operation was considered smooth. The source of thɪs content is ɴovelfire.net Meanwhile, in the Virtual Universe, Jiang Gu contacted He Xingzhou and others to start negotiations. "He Xingzhou, you have seen the Sirius Civilization’s situation! Our fleet, within half a month, can capture this place and then directly attack your hinterland, the Solar System!" Jiang Gu’s attitude was much more forceful this time, emboldened by their fleet.
