A Colossus rushes in at the start

Chapter 40 The Familiar Race is Too Arrogant

At the Star Alliance meeting, the representatives of the member countries were not in good spirits lately.

They were all exhausted by the unexpected changes that the Babel Tower bee swarm would occasionally cause.

"For love and dreams..."

"I originally thought our opponent was only militarily powerful, but I never expected..."

"The alliance is really in big trouble this time. If left unchecked, more and more people will side with the Babel swarm, and it may even lead to destruction in the end."

The virtual world has an advantage that reality can never match: in reality, you will definitely encounter some unpleasant things, but you won't in the virtual world.

If more than 90% of the population of a civilization is immersed in illusion, then such a civilization has no hope.

Even more frightening is that this was caused by the Babel Tower bee swarm. Connecting it with their previous strategy of deliberately infecting administrative stars with harmless spores, we finally have the answer.

That was to win the trust of the vast grassroots of the Star River Alliance, so as to pave the way for the upcoming "Love and Dreams".

Once the lower classes taste success with the Babel beehive, it will inevitably lead to an avalanche of population from the Star Alliance flocking to the Babel beehive.

"Block the channels of information dissemination! We must block them immediately! We can't wait!" a member representative who resembled a slime shouted anxiously.

"Calm down. This news came not long ago. We have plenty of time to prevent this information from leaking," another member advised.

The slime-like member representative said anxiously, "But we can't prevent the Babel bee swarm from continuing to infect the administrative star. Contact with the administrative star will inevitably lead to the leakage of information, and they will definitely tell the lower levels the truth."

"Then what should we do? Should we let the fleet burn the planet after the Babel swarm infects it?" a member who resembled a starfish and had two eyes asked.

The proposal by the starfish-shaped alien drew unanimous dissatisfaction from the other members' representatives.

"We absolutely cannot do that. That would be tantamount to pushing all the infected planets to the side of the swarm creatures, and they might even get involved in the fight against the Alliance."

"So, what do you suggest we do?"

At this point, a representative finally proposed: "I think it is necessary to install warp drives on all administrative planets. As long as the administrative planets are mobile, the enemy will no longer be able to find them, and there will be no possibility of infection. We can build an information barrier by using distance and concealment, while spreading the terror of the Tower of Babel swarm and the harm that their 'love and dreams' pose to civilization itself."

"Now we will proceed to the voting stage."

After the Speaker of the Alliance meeting finalized the proposal, it entered the voting stage.

"I agree."

"Agreed."

……

Due to the looming crisis, the meeting ended much faster than before.

Meanwhile, on the space battlefield, the expansion of the Babel swarm continued. After Lu Shang finalized the new strategy and tactics, the planetary creatures would only engage in a head-on battle with the Star Alliance fleet in very rare circumstances, such as when they occupied the star system where the administrative star was located.

At other times, when they encounter each other, they simply jump away, giving the Star River Alliance fleet no chance to delay.

Meanwhile, the Star Alliance fleet, having finally made widespread use of unmanned warships, found it extremely difficult to find opportunities to engage in combat with planetary creatures, which was undoubtedly very frustrating.

As a result, the unmanned fleets of the Star Alliance learned their lesson and, knowing that planetary creatures would definitely head towards the location of the administrative star, they dispatched a large number of fleets to ambush in various star systems.

Overall, the battle is still very intense, but most of the battles no longer need Lu Shang's concern; they have been handed over to the other main brains of the swarm.

Yes, it's definitely not that Lu Shang wanted to slack off; it's just giving the other main brains a chance to hone their abilities.

If Lu Shang handles everything, what's the point of the swarm having other mainframes?

Therefore, these tasks were all gifts that Lu Shang deliberately bestowed upon the main brains.

Just as Lu Shang was pondering what he should do after the war ended, a mechanical electronic voice suddenly appeared in Lu Shang's mind.

"Please respond... Please respond... This is Bahadun..."

Bahadun?

Lu Shang was taken aback. He recognized the name, but couldn't quite place it.

He carefully recalled his memories, and finally, deep within the hive's memory, Lu Shang found a few fragments of records.

Bahadur, a crystalline species, a race favored by the Void God, and like the Babel bees, a race that once ravaged the galaxy under the leadership of the Void God...

Based on this, it seems that besides the Babel bee colony, other familiar races in the galaxy should still exist...

Thinking this, Lu Shang replied to the other party within the swarm network: "Reply, this is the Babel Tower swarm."

"Search...confirmed the communication partner is from the same faction..." Bahadun continued in its old radio-like voice.

"Mission issued...Investigate the location of the Void God's seal...Completed..."

Upon hearing the other party announce the issuance of the mission, Lu Shang was initially slightly taken aback, but then returned to normal.

"Wait, there's something I don't understand, I'd like to ask you." Lu Shang called out to Bahadun, who was about to disconnect from the psionic connection.

Bahatton said, "Inquiry...confirmation...please ask."

Lu Shang asked, "Why is there no reward for this task you issued? There's no reward for completing the task?"

Bahadun replied matter-of-factly, "Retrieval...reward...none..."

Lu Shang was clearly stunned for a moment. This guy not only wanted to use him as a laborer, but also thought it was a matter of course.

Does this guy think I'm meat on a chopping board?

What does that mean?

You think you can take me for granted?

Lu Shang asked amiably, "Bahadun, do you mean I should be bossed around by you without any reward, to find some Void God in the galaxy whose whereabouts are anyone's guess?"

"Question inquiry...confirmation...yes," Bahadun replied.

very good!

What a wonderful "yes"!

It's been a while since anyone has dared to be this arrogant!

A refreshing experience!

"Then you can get lost now. I have no reason to help someone who has no value," Lu Shang replied ruthlessly, picking his ear.

Bahadun threatened, "According to Agreement 0132, all races of the Lord of the Void must unconditionally follow him. Violation of this agreement is considered treason and should be punished with immediate execution."

"Death penalty?" Lu Shang's originally kind smile became even more amiable.

"How terrifying! I'm waiting for you to carry out the execution, but please don't keep me waiting too long, okay?"

"I'm afraid I might lose control and go over there to kill you, so you'd better come over quickly."
