Voyage of the Stars.

Chapter 1050 Dog Skin Plaster
In the past, because the main body of the civilization was hidden in the small universe, the Shenju civilization was not afraid of exposing its fleet. But now the entire civilization is here, and if the electronic warships really come to kill us, it will be the end of it.

So when the humans set out, they specifically instructed: "If possible, please do not let any spacecraft go."

The Shenju civilization also knows that it would be very difficult without using special technology, so they don't have any rigid requirements. It is up to humans themselves to decide how to fight.

But things often don't go as planned.

Whether it was the Reaper fleet in front or behind, their purpose did not seem to be to chase and intercept. When the Shenju civilization dispatched hundreds of millions of warships and neutron battle stars to rush over, they found that the Reaper fleet simply turned around and ran, not giving them any chance to fight.

Since there were various types of exploration spacecraft teams distributed throughout the starry sky, the Shenju civilization was detected by the Reaper fleet before it got within range.

Seeing this, the Shenju civilization specially sent out several space broadcasts from the exploration spacecraft scattered in the starry sky, saying mocking words like "If the Reapers have the guts, come and fight them." However, the Reaper fleet ignored them at all.

At first, the Shenju civilization thought that they were afraid of their own neutron battle star, but they soon realized that this Reaper fleet was specifically here to follow them.

This is very troublesome.

Because for an ancient level 6 civilization like the Reapers, their warships must be able to reach the warp speed limit of the level 6 civilization. At the same speed, it is difficult to catch up unless the jumping ability of the neutron battle star is used.

Of course, it doesn't mean that you will never catch up if the speed is similar. After all, a fleet cannot sail forever. They must stop to replenish resources and energy. In this way, the pursuing fleet will predict the route in batches and chase and intercept them. Although they cannot bring the escapees into the quagmire of war all at once, they can continue to wear them down until they are extinct.

The reason why the Reapers were able to destroy other ancient level six civilizations was on the one hand the short-range movement bonus of their electronic warships, and on the other hand was their use of conventional forces.

And now, the Shenju civilization discovered that its large fleet had also been targeted by the Reapers, and if expectations were correct, humans were facing the same situation.

Sure enough, not long after, they received information from humans.

The Reaper fleet in front also dispersed, but did not leave. Instead, they wandered in the distant starry sky. However, as long as the human fleet approached, they would repeat the same trick and continue to retreat. Sometimes they would divide the fleet into several groups and disperse.

You have to know that humans only dispatched 30,000 warships, while the Reapers had as many as 100 million warships. Logically, there was no need to retreat, but they just avoided it.

The purpose of doing this is too obvious, which is to keep an eye on the large fleet of the Shenju civilization, then pass the message back and wait for the electronic warships to arrive.

If we really have to wait until that time, we will really have to start a war.

This is not what the Shenju civilization wants to see, at least not now.

Therefore, their neutron battle star directly abandoned the main force and launched a "jump" short-distance jump to kill the Reaper fleet. By combining short-distance jumps and warp speed travel, the neutron battle star quickly killed the Reaper fleet without any chance of fighting back.

But after all, the number of warships, tens of millions, is still very large. The neutron battle star can easily crush them, but it cannot kill all the warships around it in an instant like the electronic battleship.

In the end, faced with the Reaper fleet that was broken up and split into hundreds of small fleets and escaped, the Neutron Battle Star had no choice but to return.

Danger often hides in the darkness. Although the Daya civilization has expanded its detection radius to a hundred light years, the Shenju civilization does not dare to take the risk.

Who knows from which direction the electronic warship will come in the next moment? If we don't have time to rescue the main body of civilization, we will be doomed. As for the Reaper fleet ahead of the route, it didn't give humans a chance to contact it at all.

The Lyra could use quantum tunneling to move short distances and rush over to launch a large-scale attack, but now is obviously not the time to use the killer weapon. This is also what humans and the Shenju civilization have agreed upon.

Even the Lyra didn't activate its warp enhancement device, just to give the Reapers a big surprise in the final battle.

But they are just here for forward reconnaissance.

The current plan is to either use the trump card to directly destroy these two Harvester conventional fleets, or let the Shenju civilization dispatch more conventional fleets to drive them away. After all, the Shenju civilization has the largest number of warships here.

Faced with such a situation, the Shenju civilization did not act pretentiously. It directly asked humans to drive the Lyra back to the headquarters, and it once again dispatched 200 million warships to form several squadrons to begin expelling the Reaper fleet in front.

However, it was not entirely the effort of the Shenju civilization itself. Thirty thousand consciousness-linked warships of humanity also followed suit, and were mixed in with the Shenju civilization fleet.

This was not done to confuse the audience, because the shipbuilding style of human civilization was quite different from that of Shenju civilization, and the Reapers could easily tell the difference between the two. Therefore, the purpose was actually very simple, first, to show that human civilization was also contributing, and second, to increase the combat effectiveness of the Shenju civilization's conventional warship fleet.

Each of those warships was equivalent to an awakener, and the Shenju civilization was well aware of their powerful combat capabilities. If it weren't for the different shipbuilding styles, they would definitely be mistaken for awakeners at first glance.

"Let's ignore them. The fleet continues to move forward. We can't wait any longer. The longer we wait, the more disadvantageous it will be for us. We must reach the small universe of the Galactic Center Alliance as soon as possible." As soon as the Neutron Battle Star returned to the fleet, the leader of the Shenju civilization said in the three-party communication channel,

"We and the human civilization will be responsible for expelling the regular fleets of the Reapers. As for the Daya civilization, all your fleets should go out to collect intelligence and broaden our horizons as much as possible. With the addition of your warships, I believe the detection will go more smoothly."

"As for our Neutron Battle Star and the Lyra of human civilization, they must stay here in the Grand Fleet before arriving at the Galactic Center Alliance microcosm. This is the foundation of our three civilizations, and we must be on guard against the Reapers."

"Understood!" The leader of the Daya civilization responded and turned around to arrange for the fleet to move out.

Although the Reapers are trying their best to avoid large-scale battles with regular fleets, the battles among the surrounding reconnaissance ships never stop.

Both sides are trying their best to take the initiative in information and intelligence.

After discovering that the Dayan civilization used warships to join sporadic battles in the periphery, the Reapers also deployed many warships.

Since they were all detection in nature, they engaged in small-scale battles with the Daya civilization warships in the outer void. Often, small groups consisting of several or dozens of warships were exchanging fire, and the same was true for the detection spacecraft.

The two Reaper fleets belong to their regular fleets, and their combat effectiveness is not very strong. After a small-scale battle on the periphery, they were evenly matched with the Daya civilization warships.

As the small-scale conflicts on the periphery progressed, the Daya civilization also contributed a piece of information to the headquarters of the Grand Fleet: this Reaper fleet was an ordinary conventional fleet of the Reaper civilization.

At this moment, the Daya civilization realized more deeply the power of the Awakener. By analogy, they also had a new understanding of the power of human warships and the neutron battle stars of the Shenju civilization.
