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

But the only thing worth worrying about right now is that the other three major civilizations may not accept the good intentions of human civilization.

It’s still the same sentence. Now the strength of our three civilizations has been greatly damaged. The strength of your human civilization has not been damaged at all. You said you are here to support us against predators. What if you come and suddenly point your guns at us? ?

Who dares to take this risk?

"It doesn't matter."

Han Liang smiled and shook his head, his tone was calm, his expression was calm, but his words were full of domineering.

“At first they wanted us to provide assistance, but we refused and they had to accept it.

Now, they don't want us to assist them, but we have decided to send a fleet to assist them, and they have to accept it.

It is up to us, not them, to assist them. No matter what the outcome is, they can only live with it. "

After hearing Han Liang's words, the committee members suddenly realized that they had fallen into a misunderstanding.

With the current strength of human civilization, there is no need to consider their reactions. Not to mention that we have no intention of destroying you at all. We are actually helping you hunt predators. Even if we really have the intention of destroying you, so what?

This resolution was passed by the ruling committee, and it truly entered the preparatory stage.

Sending a fleet on an expedition is no small matter. The mobilization of manpower and material resources involved is enormous and extremely complex. Of course, it has not been officially announced at this time.

However, relevant rumors still spread, causing a lot of speculation in the society. I don’t know how many people are looking forward to it.

When the news of "sending an expedition fleet to assist the other three major civilizations" reached the ears of the diplomats of each civilization stationed in the solar system, the envoys immediately became restless.

After some information collection and data analysis, after basically confirming the authenticity of the matter, they immediately sent the news back to the location of their civilization.

At this moment, the Motan Galaxy, the second asteroid belt.

A mining ship, escorted by four warships, was accelerating with all its strength, trying to quickly pass through the asteroid belt where the pterosaurs were entrenched.

Next to the fleet, at least 50 pterosaurs were spraying blazing flames from their wings, pushing their own team to catch up quickly. The four warships blocked the surrounding airspace and poured out artillery fire desperately.

Akashi Hikaru, the captain of the third ship, looked solemn.

He knew in his heart that this ore ship was loaded with about 300 million tons of high-purity tungsten ore ready to be transported to the capital star. In the capital star, the supply of tungsten ore is insufficient, which even slows down the construction process of warships.

Without enough battleships, how can intelligent life fight predators?

These 300 million tons of high-purity tungsten ore are too important to be lost.

But the situation at this moment is too dangerous.

Originally there were 10 escort warships, which was usually enough. But I didn't expect that the pterosaur would be so cunning and mobilize hundreds of companions to launch an ambush and siege. Six warships were now damaged in the battle, and only four of our own were left.

If Akashi Hikaru had not been rich in combat experience and was a famous fighting hero in all civilizations. He once set an incredible record of killing 16 pterosaurs and driving away 22 pterosaurs with one battleship. I am afraid that even these four battleships would not have been able to escape. .

"Captain, it's not good, the number of pterosaurs is still increasing, and at least 20 more are coming from the surrounding area!"

The faces of the soldiers were full of horror.

The battle with the pterosaurs has been going on for more than a hundred years. In the past hundred years or so, countless comrades have perished in the vast space and been eaten by these damn pterosaurs.

Now, will we also follow in the footsteps of those predecessors?

Why are these damn pterosaurs invading us...

Akashi Hikari sighed.

His extremely high tactical literacy allowed him to instantly understand the situation at the moment.

"Fighters, now we have two plans.

First, our ship died here together with the transport ship and three friendly warships. There are too many pterosaurs. Our thrust is damaged and we are low on fuel. We cannot escape.

The second plan is...our ship will intercept the rear, delay the pterosaur pursuit process, and create escape opportunities for friendly warships and transport ships.

In my wisdom, I can only find these two solutions. "

The soldiers were silent.

Only our own side can handle the task after the break. Because only our own side is the elite, and we have heroic captains like Hikaru Akashi who are well-known throughout the entire civilization.

The other three warships didn't look down on them, but they were really incompetent.

But... no matter which plan he chooses, his side will inevitably die.

The only difference is whether only you die or everyone dies.

"Captain, let's cut off the queen and fight them!"

"Fight! Fight! As long as the cargo ship can reach the capital star, we can build more battleships in the future, and the brothers behind will avenge us!"         "It's better than everyone dying!"

The soldiers were excited.

Akashi Hikaru's eyes swept across the faces of the warriors one by one. He saw that many young warriors were so frightened that tears flowed from their eyes, but they were still gritting their teeth and roaring to fight the pterosaurs desperately.

In the face of life and death, fear is not shameful. As long as you can overcome your fear and stick to your original beliefs, you are still a hero.

"Okay. Then...slow down!"

The remaining four spaceships were accelerating desperately. Only the battleship where Akashi Hikaru was located began to slow down, and in this way, it immediately distanced itself from the large force.

Fierce artillery fire poured into the vast starry sky amid the roar of the soldiers. Dozens of pterosaurs spread their wings and rushed toward the lonely battleship.

The four spacecraft successfully escaped danger.

"Comrades, we can no longer return. Please send the cargo ship to the capital star, destroy the predators, and protect our civilization..."

After this message, no more information came out.

Looking at the vast deep space, among the four spaceships, whether they were soldiers or crew members on the cargo ship, they stood at attention and solemnly saluted in the direction of Akashi Hikari.

After confirming that Akashi Hikari died a hero in order to cover the cargo ship's escape, an emergency call was made to the Motan capital.

Head Motan rubbed his forehead tiredly.

After more than a hundred years of arduous fighting, the huge civilization is still persisting until now, without collapse, and still retains the hope of victory. Head Motan is extremely tired.

But emergency calls cannot be delayed and must be answered immediately. Because the most important news is eligible to be delivered through emergency calls.

"Reporting to the head of state, it has been confirmed that Captain Akashi Hikaru, a super battle hero, was attacked by a pterosaur while escorting a tungsten ore ship through the second asteroid belt. In order to protect the safety of the tungsten ore ship, Captain Akashi Hikaru led the battleship to bravely cut off the rear. In the end, the tungsten ore ship escaped smoothly, and a total of 89 soldiers, including Captain Akashi Hikaru, all... died heroically."

In a daze, Head Motan recalled the young man who was as tough as steel.

Not long ago, I personally awarded him a medal in recognition of his heroic deeds. Unexpectedly, he also died in space...

Head Motan's heart was filled with grief. But his expression remained calm.

The more difficult the moment, the more important it is to hold on and never show any weakness or vulnerability to the outside world. Otherwise, the entire civilization's will to fight may collapse, and civilization will completely lose hope.

"I understand. Let's hold a memorial service. I will attend in person. At the same time, I will use this incident as an opportunity to call on more people to learn from heroes."

"Yes."

The phone was hung up, and not long after, the emergency communication phone rang again.

Another extremely important and urgent matter.

After looking at the message, the call turned out to be from the ambassador of the Motan Civilization in the Solar System.

A bad premonition emerged in Chief Motan's heart.

The call is connected.

"The matter is urgent, I can only report to you directly."

The ambassador to the solar system spoke solemnly: "We have just confirmed that the human government is preparing to send an expeditionary force to assist the Motan, Phix, and Yuanshan civilizations.

The reason is to fulfill alliance obligations and assist social intelligent civilizations in fighting predators. After our further investigation, there is some information that shows that human civilization is actually for economic interests.

It seems that the body tissue of predators such as pterosaurs has certain special nutrients for humans. It has the effects of nourishing yin, strengthening yang, and beautifying the skin, and is very popular with humans.

At the same time, there are very few pterosaurs in the solar system, and the supply of pterosaur biological products is seriously insufficient. Human civilization plans to obtain a large supply of pterosaur biological products by assisting our three civilizations.

But we suspect that this reason is also a disguise. "

Hearing the words of the Ambassador of Motan Civilization to the Solar System, Head Motan's heart felt cold, his face turned pale, and his body could not help but tremble slightly.

Damn it, damn it!

Sure enough, no matter what you were afraid of, the worst-case scenario still happened!

What bullshit economic benefits, what bullshit biological products, what bullshit nourishing yin and strengthening yang!

Damn, using pterosaurs as an aphrodisiac? Damn the compilation of human civilization is so perfunctory! They are so perfunctory in their strategic deception, they are just treating us like fools!

The real purpose of human civilization must be to take advantage of people's danger, take advantage of the fact that our three civilizations are deeply trapped in the quagmire of predators, and the strength of our civilization has been greatly weakened, and they plan to destroy us!

Damn it!

Fighting against a predator has required us to do our best. We have damaged hundreds of thousands of battleships and sacrificed almost half of our battle-hardened veterans. We have only been able to persist until now by relying on large-scale conscription. The potential of civilized warfare has been squeezed to its limit. .

Now, if there is another human civilization expeditionary force, how can we fight?

"Help me get through to the heads of the Yuanshan Civilization and the Fix Civilization, immediately."

Through the emergency hotline, after a while, the three heads of civilization appeared in the virtual conference room, and each of them had solemn expressions, obviously knowing this information.

"Human civilization has such a huge appetite... This is to take advantage of the predator crisis to eliminate geopolitical threats in one fell swoop..."

So...what do we do?

The three heads of civilization looked at each other in silence. (End of chapter)
