Lin Shuguang stared in shock at the holographic image in front of him.

What's going on?!

The Eugene civilization and the Talodan civilization from before are completely opposite!

Just as Lin Shuguang was in shock, Bai Yixuan's voice came again.

"We will guarantee the safety of the Talodan civilization for the next seven days."

His tone was as arrogant as ever, with an air of unquestionable authority: "As for the reason, I don't think it's necessary to tell you."

"Any other questions?"

Lin Shuguang: ?!

Is this how you communicate with extraterrestrial civilizations?!

This is completely different from the courses taught in the Department of Sociology!

Before Lin Shuguang could react, a string of gibberish came from the speaker again.

[Dear Human Civilization, as you wish, the Eugene Fleet will retreat one hundred million kilometers.]

One hundred million kilometers.

For a Level 3 civilization, this is not a particularly long distance.

But this is the attitude Bai Yixuan wants, and it is also the "proof of security" that the Talodan civilization needs.

Bai Yixuan nodded gently, his expression softening slightly.

But he didn't soften his tone: "Get to work and show me your sincerity."

There was a moment of silence on the communication channel.

The lizardman who was lying on the ground stood up without hesitation and muttered a few words to the crew members who were also lying on the ground behind him.

After some time, the eleven fleets surrounding the Talodan fleet withdrew to the rear.

The light emitted by the Hall thrusters clearly conveyed this information to the panda people who were filled with fear, and eased their fragile hearts a little.

However, communication with the Eugene civilization did not end.

After the lizardman who called himself Corey gave the order to retreat, he returned to the camera's view and lay prone on the dark deck, making a series of melodious grunts.

[Dear human civilization, please allow me to ask this question.]

Seven days from now, you will be ready to...

"Is that something you should be asking?" Bai Yixuan interrupted Corey directly, stood up from his seat, and waved his hand casually.

A few seconds later.

A subtle spatial fluctuation flickered across this star field and rushed toward Eugene's fleet at an extremely high speed!

As the magnetic shield overloaded, a dazzling explosion lit up the Eugene fleet, which was the slowest to retreat!

Powerful gamma rays spread out from the explosion's epicenter like a storm, sweeping across the surrounding warships like a tempestuous downpour.

As a space pirate civilization, the Eugene civilization's development path is quite different from that of ordinary civilizations.

Their extensive war experience has made them place great importance on various protective measures.

Therefore, the Eugene battleship, equipped with a thick radiation shield, did not suffer much damage from this gamma ray attack.

In a sense, the psychological impact they suffered was far greater than the actual damage to the fleet!

Looking at the Eugene fleet with its alarms blaring in the holographic projection, Bai Yixuan snorted coldly: "This is the first warning!"

"The plans of human civilization have no need for the mere ant to interfere!"

Amidst the chaos, Corey's scaly body trembled slightly as he cautiously lay prone on the ground.

It pleaded with Bai Yixuan in a low, extremely respectful tone for forgiveness.

...

Eugene Fleet.

The communication link was cut off.

But Corre and the rest of the crew remained respectfully prostrate on the ground.

After a long while, Corey cautiously stood up from the deck of the starship.

"Human civilization..."

A murderous glint flashed in Corey's eyes as he raised his hand and slammed it hard against the control panel beside him.

The hard scales collided with the metal surface, producing a crisp and loud sound.

"Damn human civilization!"

"If it weren't for them, we could have already returned in triumph with our spoils!"

“General,” a crew member, seeing this, cautiously approached Kore and whispered, “you mean…”

"Abandon this operation?"

"Bullshit!" Upon hearing this, Corey flew into a rage, swung his arm, and slammed it hard on the crew member's head.

Its sharp claws, like blades, easily sliced ​​through the fine scales on its head.

A stream of deep blue blood gushed from its wound, slowly flowing onto the deck.

"give up?"

"Are you kidding me!"

Kore quickly flicked his forked tongue and panted heavily, saying, "We must capture the Talodan civilization!"

"This is an order from the Emperor. If we fail to comply, we will face certain death!"

“But human civilization just said they would protect the Talodan civilization…” the wounded crew member, crawling on the ground, whispered, “Their strength…”

Kore instinctively turned his head to look at the porthole next to him.

Outside the porthole, the attacked fleet was rapidly retreating.

As for the unfortunate warship that was chosen as the target, it had completely disappeared by this time—the fragmented, shapeless wreckage flew out of the fleet at extremely high speed due to the impact of the explosion.

By some stroke of luck, these wrecks might one day fly to a star system inhabited by intelligent life.

Perhaps the local indigenous civilizations will worship these debris that fell from the sky; perhaps they will treat them as a formidable enemy and flee their star system as quickly as possible...

These were not within Corey's considerations.
