A Colossus rushes in at the start

Chapter 60 The Curtain Falls on the Star Wars

To the Stars of My Hometown

Mother, by the time you receive this message, it will have been quite some time since I received it.

The Babel swarm's attack remains so fierce that I have barely had time to reply to your messages. Please forgive me for not responding to your messages for such a long time.

Well, you may not be able to perceive the time interval, but it has indeed been a long time for me.

I have a lot to say to you and Father, but after thinking about it, I've decided against it. I'll wait until the war is over and I go back to tell you.

Are you still panicking over there?

After all, from your perspective on time, not much time has passed.

I want to tell you that there is no need to worry too much. Your child is an excellent warrior. Our fleet has been working hard to slow down the enemy's advance. This tactic has been very effective. The creatures of the Babel swarm are exhausted from chasing the fleets that are under our control, and their offensive speed has slowed down. The situation is now approaching stability.

Although these fleets will eventually be destroyed, new fleets will soon be assembled at the fortress ships, which is equivalent to no loss.

Once the Allied forces find a way to damage the enemy, all problems will cease to be problems.

Please believe that the Allied Forces will build the strongest bulwark for the people, and your children will forever protect you from the shadows.

—Fleet communications officer Balod.

……

After Lu Shang finalized the strategic plan, the planetary creatures of the swarm occupied the outer edge of the galaxy, which the Star Alliance had voluntarily ceded, and then launched an attack from the outer edge towards the center of the galaxy.

The battle line stretched for 640,000 light-years. These enormous, living planets, wandering among the stars, were like messengers from hell, leaving countless warship wrecks in their wake.

If the battle takes place within a star system, occasionally a poor star might be struck by a black hole that flies around randomly, causing a violent explosion.

The swarm-like, coordinated advance of the enemy forces was a nightmare for the Star River Alliance.

Although the Star Alliance fleet attempted to concentrate its superior forces to break through the swarm's hundreds of thousands of light-years-long front line and prevent it from regrouping and advancing, the Star Alliance's fleet was still unable to achieve its goal.

Unfortunately, while the strategic thinking was sound, the strategic weapons were simply inadequate.

The Star Alliance fleet was unable to inflict effective damage on the microcosm-type planetary creatures, resulting in a zero casualty ratio on the planetary creatures' side for a long time.

In order to stop the planetary creatures from advancing, the Star Alliance's decision-makers had no choice but to expand production capacity and have the fleet launch suicidal attacks, sacrificing the fleet to slow down the enemy's advance.

Lu Shang could obviously see what the Star River Alliance was up to.

However, Lu Shang was in no hurry to show the Star River Alliance that such tactics were meaningless. Under his command, the planetary creatures focused their attention on the incoming fleets, effectively slowing down their advance.

This was done to temporarily lull the enemy into a false sense of security and prepare for the final step of the war.

The Star Alliance's gravity-blocking ships are unable to stop faster-than-light travel by cosmic planetary beings.

According to the original strategy, as long as the scale of planetary life forms increased to the same level as the number of administrative stars of the Star River Alliance, each planetary life form would be responsible for one administrative star as its target, and would arrive at the target star at faster-than-light speed to carry out the infection. In this way, all civilizations of the Star River Alliance would be completely infected in a short period of time.

At this stage, the war will be over, and the entire Star Alliance will become a piece of meat on the chopping block of the Tower of Babel.

Currently, planetary life forms have indeed surpassed the administrative stars of the Star River Alliance, and can be easily swept away.

However, on the battlefield now, the administrative stars are concentrated in the central region of the galaxy. If they are pushed forward all at once, it will inevitably mean that most of the planetary creatures in the swarm will have to gather in the central region of the galaxy.

Lu Shang was concerned that the Star River Alliance might cause trouble at the center of the galaxy again, just like during the decisive battle with the Void God. Therefore, based on the principle of caution, he planned to further increase the number of planetary creatures on the current scale, and finally wipe out the enemy completely in one fell swoop.

This won't take long, just another year. Lu Shang can spend five hundred years focusing on researching closed-loop spacetime, and he has the patience to wait a year for the number of planetary life forms to increase.

However, to Lu Shang's surprise, just before he was about to launch a full-scale attack by the planetary creatures, the Babel Tower swarm received a surrender request from the nearby Star Alliance fleet.

After inquiring, Lu Shang learned that a portion of the Star River Alliance had already left.

The upper echelons of the Star Alliance could no longer witness the victory of this war, nor could they break through the faster-than-light blockade network constructed by planetary life forms, which stretched for hundreds of thousands of light-years.

After a collective vote, the Star River Alliance used the immense energy at the center of the galaxy to create a small universe and collectively escaped into the outside world.

However, not all of the civilizations in the Star River Alliance were willing to enter the microcosm. Some of them couldn't bear to leave behind their fellow beings, so they chose to stay and surrender to the swarm.

After so many years, with such intense warfare and so many destroyed civilizations, the intergalactic war initially instigated by the Void Gods came to an end in this somewhat anticlimactic manner.

……

After the war ended, Lu Shang did not exterminate these alien civilizations.

The main reason is that killing them or not makes no difference. These civilizations infected by the bee spores are under the surveillance of the bee swarm, and they no longer pose any threat to the Babel Tower bee swarm. In fact, they are even beneficial to it.

After all, the Babel bee colony's specialization is too severe. Currently, only Lu Shang in the entire Babel bee colony has a deep enough understanding of spacetime, while the other main brains' talents are all focused on gene modification!

Therefore, for various reasons, after demarcating the territory of the Babel Tower bee colony on the outer edge of the river system, Lu Shang began a period of rest and recuperation, allowing the Babel Tower bee colony to enrich its knowledge reserves first.

However, those alien civilizations don't seem to want to give up so easily...

"What? You're forming a Star Alliance? Do you think the Swarm has been too lenient with you?"

Lu Shang stared speechlessly at the alien messengers on the other end of the communication line. Did these alien monsters really think he would have any pity for extraterrestrials?!

If it weren't for the fact that the bee colony has shortcomings that need to be addressed, you aliens would have become nutrients long ago!

Seeing Lu Shang's reaction, the alien envoy hurriedly explained, "Lu Shang, please don't get agitated. Please allow me to finish what I have to say."

"Here's what happened..."

After some explanation, Lu Shang gradually understood.

Unlike a swarm of bees, extraterrestrial civilizations do not become chaotic as their numbers increase. Instead, they inevitably interact with each other, and this interaction means the formation of a vast extraterrestrial society within a galaxy.

However, if this river system civilization is left unmanaged, it will remain in a state of disorder and chaos. In the future, newly emerging civilizations in the river system will fight each other, eventually leaving the river system riddled with holes.

Therefore, an entity of order is needed to oversee things.

This entity of order used to be the Star Alliance, but now the Star Alliance has been destroyed by the Babel Swarm.

Therefore, these alien civilizations thought of using the Babel beehive as the core to reconstruct the galactic order, which would be yet another galactic alliance.
