Start sweeping the universe by rubbing the CPU with your hands.

Earth, the first conference room of the ruling building. Led by Liu Yuan, all the ruling committee members looked solemn.

Just before, a piece of news arrived, causing all the ruling committee members to gather here and begin to collectively discuss a response plan.

"The Hatice Civilization... actually took on the second mission? Although it is just a relatively low-difficulty engineering mission, it has as many as 8000 million points. In this way, if the Hatice Civilization takes these two missions, If all are completed, then, even if we complete these four tasks, their points will still exceed ours by million points..."

This is really bad news.

“Their social organization is too low. They have been performing galaxy cleaning missions close to their limit for many years. The potential of their civilization should have been drained.

Especially since they recently took on the ultra-difficult mission of exterminating the Erros civilization, they probably don’t have the energy to spare anymore... Surprisingly, they can take on another mission?

The personal prestige of Generalissimo Hades is so high? "

There is no doubt that the development of the situation has pushed human civilization to the edge of the cliff again.

However, we have really tried our best.

Four missions were taken on at the same time, and more than 80 warships and more than one billion military-related personnel were dispatched. Today, only about 10 warships are left to defend dozens of star systems in the homeland. That’s all.

It is not an exaggeration to say that the native land is empty. Although you are not too worried about being attacked by other Silver Alliance member civilizations, what should you do if you encounter strange life forms and malicious civilizations?

Of course, we can pay for assistance from advanced civilizations, but this will also take time, and it will take two or three years to arrive.

Can these mere 100,000 warships last for two or three years?

It is no longer possible to squeeze the potential of civilization to take on new tasks like the Hades civilization.

Because our side has really tried its best.

Nowadays, with such advanced technology, it is not easy to become a qualified warrior. This not only requires civilization to spend a lot of resources to cultivate, but also requires extremely high talents for the warriors themselves.

Not just any person can become qualified after a period of training.

With the size of today's civilization, a total population of about 3000 billion has produced a total of about 20 billion soldiers and field support personnel, which is a high enough ratio. It is almost impossible to improve again.

So... what should we do?

Is it really because the Hades civilization failed to successfully complete its mission?

This means huge uncertainty and risk.

Han Yang silently felt the heaviness in the conference room and thought of more.

With the computing power he had at his disposal, it was almost not difficult to create a fleet again to carry out the mission.

But at this moment, he couldn't do that.

This is a galaxy cleanup mission that is closely watched by all parties, and he is worried that he will be exposed.

The second thing is that he has no energy left at the moment.

He has devoted all his computing power to basic technology research and development, going all out and not daring to relax at all.

Because only in this way can we hope to be promoted to a fourth-level civilization within the predetermined time limit and truly solve the deadlock. If our side fails to advance to the fourth level civilization, then even if we win the first place in the cleaning task, what is the point?

Don’t put the cart before the horse.

I, and we, all need to go all out, is this an empty statement?

Faced with the heaviness of his colleagues, Liu Yuan remained calm.

“I’ve already made plans for this.

Not only are we taking risks, Hongyang, Uta, Blackwater, Snowland, and Yunguang Civilization are also taking risks. At this moment, it depends on whether they can hold it back..."

Han Yang was not sure that his plan would be realized, nor was he sure that the "big event" he communicated with Luo Tu Civilization would have a basis for realization.

But...it's still the same sentence.

There is no way out at this moment, there is a cliff behind us. At this moment, the only thing we can do is give it a try.

Time passes slowly.

YT-1154 galaxy.

In the flagship of the human fleet, the Guangming dwarf planet-class battleship, Commander Lu Xinghe stood in front of the porthole, looking at the huge planet in front of him, silent for a long time.

It was a dark, cold, frozen planet far away from the star. It was originally desolate and dead, but the arrival of the human fleet changed everything.

Today, there are more than 400 million human engineers, technical workers and other battlefield logistics personnel active on this planet.

Countless tall buildings have been erected, and countless mines, factories, energy bases, etc. occupy a considerable part of the planet's surface, giving this dead planet a touch of prosperity.

But prosperity is just an appearance. Chilling and war are the real themes of this galaxy.

On the remaining planets in this galaxy, a strange life called "Light Beast" is raging. The fleet from human civilization is fighting to the death. And this originally dead planet is the basis for supporting our own battle with it.

But Lu Xinghe's eyes were not cast on those tall buildings and factories, but instead focused on this large building complex for a long time, on the huge and deep canyon that almost bisected the entire industrial area.

The canyon was bottomless and seemed to lead directly to hell. There was no light inside, and there seemed to be no trace of human activity. But Lu Xinghe knew that the true hope of his own fleet and even the entire civilization was hidden there.

"Commander, I am reporting from the logistics base that the last batch of combat readiness supplies has been prepared.

Among them, there are 580 million tons of high-purity protium fuel, 1600 billion interstellar mines, 1000 million satellites of various types, 200 million trigger-type interstellar missiles, and 50 large interstellar forts..."

"Take it."

Lu Xinghe calmly gave the order: "Prepare... for a decisive battle."

In the past ten years, the human fleet has been moving around in this distant and cold star system with a force that does not have an advantage. The command team racked their brains and tried their best, and the soldiers risked their lives and fought bravely. , after making huge sacrifices, the balance of victory finally tilted towards our own side.

Next, is the moment of the final battle.

No matter who it is, they all know that with only about 16 warships left at the moment, this decisive battle will be very difficult.

Our side is not sure of final victory. Moreover, even if our side wins in the end, we will definitely have to pay a huge sacrifice.

If they lose, the warships, soldiers, and hundreds of millions of logistics personnel who are on the expedition to this star system are likely to be wiped out, which will affect the overall strategy of civilization.

But, it’s still the same sentence. There is no way out behind him, he can only fight hard.

After receiving this last batch of large-scale supplies, the human fleet started again and began to rush to the battlefield.

The battle was fierce, with one's own front constantly being breached by the light beasts, and then being replenished by one's own. Clusters of light beasts were constantly being killed on a large scale, and they continued to gather together to attack their own side.

The war situation was intense, and the surrounding planets were like meat grinders, burying a large number of strange life forms and human warships.

At this moment, a combat staff officer suddenly turned pale and stumbled into the command room.

In the command room, Commander Lu Xinghe, several deputy commanders, many operational staff officers and military advisors were discussing something intensely. Orders are issued one after another from here, and the issuance and execution of each order may affect the life or death of thousands of people.

Everyone is like a wind-up toy, their brains are running crazily all the time, and they dare not slack off at all, let alone make any mistakes.

Under such circumstances, the intruding staff officer rushed to Lu Xinghe's side regardless of the intensity of the battle. He lowered his voice but was still full of urgency and said: "Report, there is an emergency!"

Lu Xinghe's expression changed: "Oh? Tell me."

The staff officer gritted his teeth and said: "The long-range detection system detected a large flash of light outside the galaxy, confirming that a large fleet is approaching us.

Through the tail flame type, we confirmed that the fleet does not belong to us or our allies, but is more than 90% similar to the fleet of Hongyang Civilization!

The fleet size is estimated to be around 12 warships! "

what? !

At this moment, everyone in the combat command room, which was almost in an uproar, immediately fell silent, no matter how important tactics they were discussing.

The Hongyang Fleet...is coming to attack us?

They are not here to help us, are they? The two major civilizations have forged a grudge. If they are not here to attack us, what else can they do?

But how dare they?

The Silver Alliance stipulates that any civilization is prohibited from attacking a civilization that is performing a cleaning mission!

Even the mainland is strictly prohibited from attacking, let alone the fleet itself that is fighting!

Where did they get such courage!

But this moment seems not to be the time to dwell on this issue.

Anyway, they are finally here.

But... I am fighting to the death with a swarm of light beasts.

Our own side cannot even take advantage at this moment, and has to do its best to maintain the balance of power.

There is no way, because we have to perform four tasks at the same time, and our fleet has too few troops.

Victory has not yet shown its light, and any small accident may lead to the collapse of the whole situation. Everyone, from Commander Lu Xinghe to the most basic soldiers, everyone is going all out and doing their best, and no longer has the ability to take care of the rest.

But at this moment, Hongyang Civilization actually has 12 warships attacking itself?

How can we fight this!

At this moment, everyone's face was pale and their hearts were full of despair.

Lu Xinghe's expression remained calm.

"Is it finally here?"

He clenched his fists tightly, but in his mind he recalled the words that Head of State Liu Yuan said to him personally when he set off.

"This time, the number of logistics personnel dispatched by our civilization is 400 million. However, the number reported to the outside world is 200 million. Do you know why this is?" (End of Chapter)
