Cataclysmic Era: I can unlock the tech tree

the other side.

Greys I and Greys III, the secondary flagships.

Seeing the flames of the explosion of the friendly secondary flagship, both captains were filled with terror.

It is foreseeable that if they only have two secondary flagships, they will all meet the same fate!

They attempted to issue orders to the fleet to unite against the enemy.

But the defeat was swift and devastating.

The destruction of one flagship and three secondary flagships completely shattered the confidence of the entire fleet.

Almost no one paid any attention to the two captains' shouts on the communications channel.

Fortunately.

After the explosions of the second and fourth secondary flagships, the human fleet's offensive eased considerably.

Even so, this relentless and dense offensive was something that ordinary warships could not withstand.

Even a secondary flagship cannot fully accelerate its escape under such an offensive.

At this moment, the warships of human civilization were divided into two groups.

One group continued its original fire suppression mission.

The other group accelerated and flew towards the two secondary flagships!

During the journey, countless small drones flew out from the belly of the Golden Crow battleship and slowly circled the massive Golden Crow battleship.

These drones and battleships gradually formed a slowly shrinking spherical encirclement.

As the formation grew increasingly familiar, both captains turned pale.

"Damn bugs!"

The captain of the primary secondary flagship roared angrily, "They actually used our tactics!"

On the communication channel, another captain's bitter voice came through.

"Never mind these trivial matters."

"What we need to consider now is how to break through this damn encirclement!"

When they used encirclement tactics against other civilizations, they never imagined that one day they would be caught in the enemy's counter-encirclement!

"or……"

"no!!"

The third ship captain's proposal met with strong opposition!

"Since we left our home planet, our Lator civilization has never surrendered!" Captain One roared in a low voice.

"They're just a small, level-two civilization!"

"I will never allow a single insect to swagger and swagger over our heads!!"

"But!" the third captain's tone hardened, "their weapons fired at the flagship..."

The captain of the No. 1 ship suddenly stopped speaking.

The thought of that magical and terrifying weapon filled its eyes with fear.

But soon, it shook its head vigorously.

"No, that can't be!"

"This kind of weapon is definitely not technology that a Level 2 civilization could possess!"

"Perhaps, like us, they got incredibly lucky and somehow acquired these weapons."

"I'm certain they no longer possess such powerful weapons!"

The captain's tone grew increasingly certain, even bordering on excited: "Yes! Definitely not!"

"Otherwise, they wouldn't have launched two weapons at once!!"

"Those cunning insects are trying to intimidate us!"

There was a moment of silence on the communication channel before the sound came through again.

"I hope so."

"But their encirclement is almost complete, what can we do?"

The captain of the No. 1 secondary flagship did not speak, but glanced at the large screen in front of him.

His expression softened considerably.

Thanks to this gradually shrinking encirclement, the warships that had not yet escaped were forced to move closer to the two secondary flagships.

"Perhaps we should thank this bug," it murmured to itself.

Faced with the urgent inquiries over the communication channel, it hesitated for a moment, then a slight smile appeared on its lips.

"Didn't they already tell us what to do?"

"But we don't have those giant smoke bombs!" The captain of the third ship immediately thought of the human fleet's response, but then his expression turned grim again.

"Look around," the captain said coldly. "Can't these warships be used as a smokescreen?"

Upon hearing this, the captain of the third ship was startled.

Its expression shifted several times, finally gritting its teeth and saying fiercely, "Fine!"

……

Time passed slowly.

The dense encirclement network consisting of the Golden Crow battleship and small drones has finally taken shape.

Looking at the enemy ships crammed together inside the encirclement, Lü Yongchang's lips curled up slightly as he took the initiative to send out the first message of human civilization.

Surrender, or perish?

These four simple words brought endless humiliation to the enemy ships trapped in the encirclement!

Inside the No. 1 secondary flagship, the captain's gray-white body trembled slightly, and he let out a low roar!

He suppressed his anger and edited a few messages.

The Latol civilization will never surrender!

Damn bugs, you can't fool us!

You no longer possess that magical weapon!

Let's start the war!

Let's see if we tear apart your encirclement, or if we get crushed by your warships!

The moment it clicked send, it growled into the fleet's communication channel: "All warships, prepare to break out!!"

Before the words were even finished, a gap suddenly appeared in the tight encirclement in front of them.

This sudden anomaly startled the two captains.

Soon, their doubts were answered.

Because a line of text appeared on the screen in front of them.

As you wish!

next moment!

A total of 48 small starships sailed through this gap into the encirclement!

Although the starships were small, no Grey dared to underestimate them.

There is no other reason.

Their flagship was destroyed by this inconspicuous little starship!

Those weapons, which were as thin as paper, still terrify these little Greys!

"No!"

"impossible!!!"

The captain of the No. 1 secondary flagship widened his eyes and let out a mournful and shrill wail!

"Why are there so many?!"

"It's fake! It's all fake!"

"I don't believe it!!"

"They're only a Type II civilization, I don't believe it!!"

It shook its head repeatedly, muttering to itself as if in a frenzy.

Suddenly, it pressed the fleet-wide broadcast button in front of it with a ferocious expression.

"All warships, launch an attack!!"

The roar echoed within the command center.

But... there was no response.

The next second, a message came from the third secondary flagship.

[To the esteemed advanced technological civilization, we are willing to submit!]

Clearly, this message was not sent to the captain.

The captain of the No. 1 ship looked incredulously at the porthole beside him.

Outside the porthole, the hull of the third secondary flagship was visible.

It lunged at the control panel, roaring, "Why?!"

"That's fake!"

"It's just an empty shell!!"

Before the words were even finished, a blinding light came from the side.

A large warship has been transformed into a painting without any depth.

Its lips trembled violently a few times.

Then, it lowered its shoulders and silently sent a message.

[Respected advanced technological civilization, we surrender.]
