Galaxy No. 2.

In the Mantis Man's cockpit, Fandel couldn't help but curse.

"Those bugs are here again?"

Intelligent Computer: "The train of the Crystalworm Civilization has just entered the outer space circle and has released warships to form an offensive formation."

"Contact the queen immediately and ask her what she means."

The call was quickly connected, and Fandel angrily demanded, "What do you want to do? Have I ever offended you?"

The queen insect is in the form of a giant insect, with its body huddled behind the cockpit and countless insect limbs extended and placed on the operating console.

"You haven't offended me, but I'm short of energy crystals and would like to borrow some from you."

Vander jumped up and down: "Borrow again?"

Although I am angry, it is better to do more than less, especially at this critical moment.

"How much do you want to borrow?"

"Fifty million."

These words immediately dispelled Vandel's idea of ​​compromise.

Fifty million energy crystals would have a huge impact on him, causing him serious damage and making him more passive in the subsequent competition for a spot.

"Since you want to start a war, I will fight you to the end."

War is not all bad. First, it helps you qualify to upgrade the train, and second, it gives you a chance to get the train core.

So Vandel actively prepared for war and summoned back all the warships and mantis people from all over the place.

This upcoming war has attracted much attention, and other train conductors are watching, wanting to know the final outcome.

"The energy crystal resources in the star field have long been exhausted. Those insects are probably forced into a corner."

"A civilization that solely consumes energy crystals has no reason to exist. This time, I support Vandel."

"It's difficult for Vandel to win. After all, the Crystal Zerg are very powerful, especially in landing battles."

There are many train conductors on the Star Domain Network who predict the winning rate of both sides, and almost all of them predict that the Crystal Insect has a higher winning rate, which can reach 70%.

Chen An also asked Fuyao to make a prediction.

[Both civilizations will lose, because no matter who wins the war, they will enter a weakened state. At this time, there will definitely be a train that takes advantage.]

"The closest ones are the Rat People and the Lingshuo People. But Luo Da has bigger plans and would never cause trouble before, so it had to be the Rat People who took action. It's a pity we're so far away, otherwise I really want to wipe them out."

Looking up at the screen again, the train of the Crystalworm civilization was entering the inner star circle and the picture was interrupted.

"Fuyao, continue showing the screen."

[Invading the Mantis Network through the Star Domain Network]

[Invasion successful, inner star circle image restored]

At present, only he and Luo Da can see the status of the war, and other train conductors can only see the alien circle picture.

The fleets of Crystal Zerg and Mantis Man gradually approached, forming a classic offensive formation.

Chen An frowned: "Is Vandel too stupid, or am I overthinking it? He has the home advantage, why should he attack?"

"The master's idea is correct. It's just that Vandel is too stupid. He could actually abandon his position and fight everywhere, because the crystal worms only need energy crystals, and other resources are useless to them."

"I told you, a head-on collision is the worst way to fight, but it's the most entertaining way to fight."

Good things cannot be shared alone, so Chen An went to the living room and called Fei Yi and Luo Yu to watch the fight.

Fei Yi pointed at the Mantis Man's train and exclaimed, "That's where I used to be."

She panicked, the pain of the past flooding back.

Chen An: "Forget the past as soon as possible. Look at how the Mantis Man died."

…

When the distance between the two trains was only 500,000 kilometers, they finally stopped.

Vandel had already made his stance clear, and he offered a final word of advice: "You can go to the outer space circle and find a weaker train. Why come here and risk your life?"

The Queen: "The closer you get to the outer layers, the fewer energy crystals there are. You're in Galaxy Number Two, and I know you have a large reserve of energy crystals. Fifty million isn't much, but you can afford it. Just give it to me and I'll leave immediately."

Vander slapped the console, cutting off the communication.

"Fire!"

In an instant, thousands of cannons were fired at the same time, and neat energy beams formed a continuous light curtain.

The crystal worms fought back in the same way, and the two sides began to exchange pieces, and the frigates were scrapped one after another.

Not to mention Vander, even Chen An felt distressed just watching him.

As the war progressed, Chen An discovered problems.

"It seems the Crystal Worm's warships can recover automatically. What's going on?"

In the picture, the crystal worm's warship will withdraw from the battle sequence after being damaged, and will be able to repair the damage in the rear for a while and return to the battle sequence.

It seems that the losses of the crystal worms are far less than those of the mantis people, and the combat power of the two sides will gradually be widened.

"Fuyao, zoom in on the picture."

When the picture was enlarged enough, Chen An saw that on the returned trains, there were many light golden bugs scratching at the gaps in the warships, repairing them at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"Are those crystal worms?"

[It is indeed a crystal worm. They have strong mechanical repair capabilities.]

Chen An became interested.

"If I could only get these bugs..."

Many thoughts came to his mind. He now hoped that the crystal worm could defeat the mantis man and not be destroyed.

The subsequent war situation was just as Chen An had expected. The Mantis People became increasingly weaker and weaker, and were gradually unable to cope with head-on confrontations.

Vandel did understand some tactics. He hid his destroyers in the rear and brought them out at the critical moment, causing a considerable blow to the Starworm's front line. Even many warships that were being repaired were completely destroyed.

But even so, they couldn't defeat the crystal worms, and the gap in firepower between the two sides was getting bigger and bigger.

"We can't fight anymore, let's withdraw."

In a rare display of cleverness, Vander steered the train off the tracks.

"Those bugs want energy crystals, but all the energy crystals for Galaxy 2 are in my car. He has to come after me."

When the queen insect saw the enemy train withdraw from the battle, she hurried to follow.

But the battleship could not keep up with the speed of the train, so it had to be left behind temporarily.

So for the next five hours, the two trains chased each other around the star, consuming each other.

Chen An was tired of watching and asked Fuyao: "Have they ever used their special abilities?"

[I haven't seen it yet, it may be an ability that cannot be demonstrated]

For example, the observation deck that Chen An obtained had no offensive or defensive capabilities and could not be used in the war.

"I'm going to play with Fei Yi. Let me know if you have any results."

Another two hours passed, and Fuyao reminded Chen An.

"The Mantis have begun a counterattack. They have stopped the Crystal Insect train and are launching a landing operation."

Chen An became interested and asked Fu Yao to play the picture.

The two trains were seen colliding with each other, flying around the star at the same speed without losing power.

Countless Mantis people drove shuttles into the Crystal Insect train, and the two sides fought fiercely.

"The crystal worms are not strong in close combat, and the mantis people are better at legionary combat."

The train was almost a one-sided massacre of the Mantis People, as the insects themselves were too weak.

"That won't do. If the crystal worms are gone, it will be difficult for me to obtain their technology."

Chen An was about to help Jing Chong, but at this moment, Fu Yao called up another picture.

In the picture, a black train is approaching from outside the system very cautiously.

[That's the Ratman's train]

Chen An frowned and thought for a while, then asked Fuyao to send a message to the queen insect to tell it that the rat people had joined the war.

“It’s not easy to get a bargain.”
