This star system used to be the territory of the Maoshi Star Union, controlled by a Level 1.5 civilization named Sand People Civilization. After the Blue Star Civilization attacked, the Sand People Civilization resisted slightly, realized they couldn’t win, and surrendered directly. Sand People Civilization is located at the junction between the Blue Star Alliance and Maoshi Star Union. Recently, tensions have been escalating between the two, making Sand People Civilization extremely nervous. With gods fighting above, they are at risk of becoming collateral damage. For this reason, the leader of Sand People Civilization, Huang Sha, contacts General Lei Yuanfeng, the Commander of the interstellar defense line of the Blue Star Alliance, daily, requesting more warships to be stationed there for defense. "General Lei, we need to strengthen our defenses here!" Huang Sha lamented to Lei Yuanfeng in the Virtual Universe, saying, "In the past, our trade starships being robbed by Star Thieves on the borders was one thing, but now the Maoshi Star Union doesn’t even bother to disguise — they directly send warships over. Our starships don’t dare to venture out for fear of being hit by long-range weapons!" Lei Yuanfeng reassured him, saying, "Don’t worry, we will do everything in our power to ensure the safety of the Sand People Civilization. I’ll send the patrol fleet over again to clear the Star Thieves." "The patrol fleet isn’t enough..." Huang Sha just started to say when Lei Yuanfeng raised an eyebrow and quickly changed his tone, saying, "What I mean is, the Star Thieves are actually the fleets of the Maoshi Star Union; sending the patrol fleet would be too dangerous!" "You mean stationing the main fleet in the Yellow Sand Civilization?" Lei Yuanfeng asked. Huang Sha laughed heartily, saying, "That’s not impossible. After all, our territory has a special position, and it would be even better to establish defense points!" Lei Yuanfeng said, "How we defend is our own arrangement. You don’t have to worry day and night; just tell your civilization as much." "Our Blue Star Civilization can guarantee that as soon as the enemy invades, our main fleet will arrive within a month! How does that sound?" Upon hearing his words, Huang Sha was overjoyed, saying, "With General Lei’s assurance, I naturally believe it!" Blue Star Civilization has always been trustworthy, so with his words, Huang Sha also got the assurance he needed to report to his civilization. Returning to Sand People Civilization, Huang Sha immediately relayed Lei Yuanfeng’s words to the higher-ups. He said, "This is the greatest safety guarantee we can strive for. As long as we expand our reconnaissance area far enough, even if the enemy invades, we will have time to react." The Blue Star Alliance provides various reconnaissance technologies to all member civilizations, such as detecting space fluctuations, finding warp speed battleships with reconnaissance satellites, and building Space Outposts throughout the Star Domain Defense Line to detect enemy movements early. The higher-ups said, "If Blue Star Civilization is willing to send the main fleet, that’s naturally good. We’re just afraid they’re all talk." Huang Sha said, "Regardless of what they do, we need to prepare ourselves. If war erupts, we’ll relocate immediately!" The Blue Star Civilization and the Maoshi Star Civilization are both Level 3.5 civilizations. For their Level 1.5 civilization, any random Star Domain-level Battleship could annihilate them, so they can’t participate in such wars. Thus, the Yellow Sand Civilization has long prepared evacuation plans. Once war breaks out, the entire civilization will move to the rear of the Blue Star Alliance. There are several undeveloped star systems, which can be rented or purchased from Blue Star Civilization. While discussing evacuation plans, alarms spread throughout the civilization. It’s an alarm notification from the nearest Space Outpost: "Strong space fluctuations detected, suspected enemy attack. Prepare for war!" "They’ve really come!" Huang Sha’s heart tightened as he hurriedly announced, "I declare an immediate activation of emergency plans, everyone evacuate your homes!" Even though it’s unclear how many enemies have come, their bottom line is that if any enemy comes, they run! The enemy can afford a few mistakes and lose a few Star Domain-level Battleships, but they can’t afford a single mistake or their entire civilization will be destroyed! Members of the Sand People Civilization immediately boarded the warp speed battleships of the Blue Star Alliance’s interstellar transport group, fleeing their home star. Simultaneously, Huang Sha kept monitoring the situation at the Space Outpost. Robots man the outposts, dispatching numerous reconnaissance satellites and ships to ascertain the situation. "Launch gravity bombs!" The Space Outpost fires gravity bombs at the location of the space fluctuation. The gravity field generated by the gravity bomb can disrupt the warp bubble, and if warp battleships continue flying in such an environment, the twisted space will tear them apart! One warp speed battleship after another exits warp flight mode and switches to sub-light speed flight, with reconnaissance ships figuring out their situation. "Thirty warp speed battleships spotted, the highest level being the Level 8 warp battleship, one of Maoshi Star Civilization’s main fleets!" The outpost reports immediately. Huang Sha hastily contacts Lei Yuanfeng, "General Lei, the enemy has truly arrived!" If not forced, who would want to leave their home? The entire Sand People Civilization worries that under the blaze of war, all traces of Sand People Civilization will be erased, and their living planets will be blasted apart, leaving them as rootless wanderers. "Don’t worry, we say what we mean!" Lei Yuanfeng quickly mobilizes defense forces, and the Blue Star Alliance Command Headquarters receives the message simultaneously. "We’re attacking too; the enemy is attacking too." He Xingzhou confirmed, "The strength of this fleet is the same as the Maoshi Star Civilization’s main fleet a hundred years ago, but it’s definitely not their main force now." The enemy cannot be so foolish as to attack actively without powerful weapons. "They want to probe." He Hongwei said. "Then let’s meet as they wish!" He Xingzhou laughed, telling Lei Yuanfeng, "Engage them first and probe the situation. Prepare measures for when the time is right." Find the newest release on novel~fire~net "Understood!" Lei Yuanfeng immediately ordered, "Border Defense Fleet, proceed to the Wolf 1055 Star System to engage the enemy. Nearby Space Outposts and forts prepare for attack. Other defense line areas enter defensive state." The main forces of the Blue Star Civilization are navigating the Zerg-occupied area, and they don’t have much military on the defense line to fight. The war has just begun, and neither side can let the other know their true situation and deployment of military strength. The Border Defense Fleet quickly rushed to the Wolf 1055 Star System. At this time, the Maoshi Star Civilization’s Third Fleet had easily destroyed the nearby Space Outposts. To them, it was just a matter of a few shots. Qing Gu ordered the Third Fleet’s Commander Yu Ze, "Don’t waste energy destroying the planets of the Wolf 1055 Star System. Just clear out the space military bases." "You need to make a step-by-step stance and lure the main fleet of the Blue Star Civilization to come over." "Received!" Yu Ze instructed the fleet to enter the Wolf 1055 Star System. The Sand People Civilization has already fled, with many resources left behind. He ordered his men, "Send robot units to planets and stars to seize the resources. The engineering team will start building space defense facilities." "We’ll stay here and wait for the Blue Star Civilization fleet to arrive." Before the Sand People Civilization left, they had installed numerous reconnaissance devices in the star system, which the Maoshi Star Civilization’s fleet couldn’t clean up immediately, exposing their actions to the Blue Star Civilization’s vision. "Are they really planning to settle down?" Lei Yuanfeng was somewhat puzzled. He had thought the enemy would simulate an attack, wait for their "main" fleet to rush over, then turn to attack other Star Domains. The way it’s set up, the enemy seems to want a head-on fight? "Report, the Border Defense Fleet is about to reach the Wolf 1055 Star System, our fleet encountered gravity weapon interference, and they have exited warp navigation." The Border Defense Fleet Commander reported. "Launch a direct attack." Lei Yuanfeng said, "Let’s see what they’re really made of!" The Border Defense Fleet of the Blue Star Civilization, although many warships still at Level 6 warp, have upgraded weapon systems with gravity bombs and other weapons, as well as ample antimatter energy, and don’t lose out in firepower to higher-grade warp battleships. Upon receiving orders, they immediately opened fire, launching fast particle weapons, warp weapons, and gravity bombs equipped with warp engines directly, striking the target from one light year away.
