The Talodan Fleet.
The muffled alarm once again shattered the brief tranquility within the flagship.
"leader!"
A crew member shouted in a panic, "An unidentified fleet has been spotted ahead of us!"
"Communication request received from the enemy fleet, on the same frequency as the Eugene civilization!" another crew member shouted. "Boss, it's the Eugene fleet!"
Aldan's face darkened as he looked at the pursuing fleet slowly advancing behind him, and a terrible thought immediately arose in his mind.
"Connect the communications," it said in a deep voice.
On the large screen, a repulsive and hideous face quickly appeared.
Looking at this appearance etched into their genes, an intense hatred rose in the eyes of all the Talodan people.
"Damn Eugene civilization, what exactly do you want to do..."
Aldan squeezed out a few words through clenched teeth.
"Talodan, you are surrounded."
The other party grinned, revealing a ferocious smile: "Surrender obediently, and then research technology for us. That's your only way out."
"Bullshit!" Aldan's anger intensified, and he roared out.
"Change course! Prepare to break out!"
"Leader!!" The muffled alarm sounded repeatedly, and panicked shouts rose and fell.
"Unidentified fleet spotted on the right side of the fleet!"
"Unidentified fleet spotted on the left!"
"Above..."
"..."
As he stared at the large screen filled with deep purple alert messages, Aldan's fur stood on end and his body trembled slightly.
Its large eyes slowly closed, revealing a deep despair.
The next instant, it forcefully opened its eyes again.
Facing the despairing gazes of its fellow citizens and the mocking looks of the Eugene people, it roared angrily, word by word, clearly enunciating each character:
"Talodan will never be a slave!"
"Fleet, defensive formation!"
"Prepare for battle!"
“Very well.” The mockery in Eugene’s eyes deepened. “As you wish!”
...
The silver-white spherical detectors spread rapidly in all directions at a speed of 20c.
Like a fishing net, it quickly unfurls in the ocean.
With a special algorithm, the compressed information in front of these spherical detectors is rapidly restored to zero.
In less than four months, given the speed of the Talodan fleet, they could only travel about 0.1 light-years.
Therefore, the exploration tasks of these detectors are not heavy.
Conservatively estimated, the screening process should take less than two days to produce results.
Just as Bai Yixuan had predicted.
Forty hours after the probe left, a tachyon message from the probe was captured by a receiver on the Titan Mothership.
Bai Yixuan, who had already submitted his request, looked at the twelve fleets of varying sizes in the message and his expression immediately turned serious.
Although he was still unclear about what had happened, he still issued the order without hesitation!
"Expeditionary Fleet, enter Level 1 combat readiness!"
"The entire ship will enter warp drive mode in thirty seconds. Cruising speed: 20c!"
"Target location:..."
"Set off!"
...
0.1 light-years away.
The relatively large Talodan fleet remained in space in a defensive formation.
The narrow spacing between each starship revealed that the Talodan civilization was in an extremely dangerous situation.
Surrounding it were eleven fleets of varying sizes belonging to the Eugene civilization.
The war has already begun.
Waves of artillery fire exploded around the Talodan fleet, faintly illuminating the incredibly dim starry sky around them.
"leader!"
Milo stumbled to Aldan's side and cried out in a high-pitched voice choked with sobs, "You must run away!"
"Ten lifeboats can carry a total of ten thousand crew members to safety..."
"Escape?" Aldan shook his head with a wry smile, interrupting Milo. "Where can we escape to?"
"Don't I know how much supplies a lifeboat can carry?"
"Let alone escaping to a nearby star system, they probably won't even be able to escape this star system before being captured by the Eugene civilization's patrol fleet."
“Well…” Milo seemed to want to say something more.
"Alright." Aldan's expression softened, and it raised its paw to gently pat Milo's head. "The Talodan civilization is doomed."
"But even so, we must never become slaves to them!"
He said in an extremely calm tone, "Even if a warship self-destructs, I will tear a piece of flesh from it."
A dull alarm sounded.
Aldan didn't care; the alarm had sounded countless times since the start of the war.
But this time, it seems a little different.
"Chief, chief, leader!!"
"[Zanka] above..."
Inside the command center, exclamations of surprise echoed one after another.
Even Milo, standing beside it, stared blankly at the large screen behind it: "Leader...why don't you turn around and take a look?"
Aldan turned around with some confusion and looked at the screen behind him.
With just one glance, it held its breath.
Its fine downy hairs suddenly bristled, making it look like a fluffy dandelion!
Aldan took a few deep breaths, his pupils trembling as he murmured softly.
"【Zanka】Huh...what is this thing..."
On the screen,
A massive fleet appeared abruptly in this star field with overwhelming force!
It stood quietly beside the two fleets, silently and unreservedly displaying its power to the surroundings!
The gamma rays emitted by the antimatter engine spread outwards like waves!
Compared to it, both the Talodan fleet and the Eugene fleet were as insignificant as small boats beside an aircraft carrier!
The fierce battle came to an abrupt end at this moment!
The aftershocks of the explosion slowly dissipated, and this chaotic star field once again returned to a brief period of tranquility!
