Inside the White Dwarf Fortress.
[9436] and [9435] fell silent as they looked at the information on the screen.
Their pale blue skin turned ashen at that moment.
"The Silicon Ray Civilization is right."
[9436] said with difficulty, "Although it's different from the latest Silicon Alliance logo, but..."
"The design styles of the two are indeed the same."
"Taking into account the opponent's strength and origin..."
"It can be basically confirmed that this is the homeworld fortress of the Tenth Empire."
Upon hearing this, his companion [9435] panicked.
"Then, what should we do?"
"What do you mean, what to do?" [9436] raised a tentacle, giving his companion a slap in the face with exasperation, "Of course, we abandon this operation!"
"But, but that Enroget civilization..."
The companion [9435] turned pale with anxiety: "What if it's the mother civilization's side..."
"Are you crazy?!" [9436] glared fiercely at his companion. "Do you know what it means to attack the homeworld of the Silicon Alliance's leading civilization?!"
"The Silicon Alliance joining the war is nothing compared to what might happen if they provoke the neutral factions behind them..."
"Just imagine how headquarters will treat us!"
“But, but…” [9435] seemed to want to say something more.
"But what do you mean, 'but'!"
[9436] gave it another piece of the pawn: "If you want to die, jump into the Zero Point Furnace yourself, don't drag me into it!"
"No, no!" [9435] quickened his pace, getting all the words out at once. "I mean, the Enroget civilization shouldn't be part of the Silicon-based Alliance, right?"
"Could we..."
Upon hearing this, [9436] was stunned.
That seems... to make sense!
The Enroget civilization was only a level six civilization, while the planetary fortress was a creation of a level seven civilization.
The two designs also differ greatly.
This is enough to prove that the Enroget civilization and the Tenth Empire's homeworld fortress are not closely related!
"What you said... actually makes a lot of sense."
...
[The Silicon Ray Civilization: This is just a misunderstanding.]
Our task is simply to deal with the Enroget civilization, which is hiding behind the Tenth Empire's homeworld fortress.
They attacked the shepherds of the Milky Way.
We can compensate for the accidental damage to the Imperial homeworld fortress, but... I hope you will not interfere in the internal affairs of the Cleansers civilization!
Looking at the text in the holographic projection, Lü Yongchang's face turned green!
What do you mean by "internal matters"?!
At this moment, he could only place his hopes on [Ten].
What did we say back then?
They are the top contenders who passed the Silicon Alliance's basic tests!
The Enroget civilization is a pure-blooded silicon-based civilization!
He still remembers the evaluation given by [Ten]!
Its development potential is impossible to assess!
Logically and emotionally, we shouldn't have abandoned them!
Just as Lü Yongchang was about to send a distress message to [Ten], [Ten], having completed identity verification, had already proactively sent the "Enroget Civilization" evaluation document to [Silicon Ray Civilization].
...
The silicon ray silently examined the tachyon information encrypted using the most primitive encryption method.
The potential for civilizational development is impossible to assess?!
The Silica Ray glanced in surprise at the Enroget civilization, which was cowering behind its home planet's fortress.
When it saw the wide-area tachyon broadcast that lasted for a billion times, it couldn't help but sigh.
This encryption method and communication frequency band were abolished by the Silicon-based Alliance long ago.
No wonder it hadn't received any broadcasts from the Imperial homeworld fortress.
It stretched its body and, after making all the necessary preparations, gave its response.
【no.】
Silicon Ray Civilization, you've gone too far...
[It has been verified that the Enroget civilization is a silicon-based civilization and has successfully passed the Silicon-Based Alliance test project; they are also a member of the Silicon-Based Alliance.]
[...]
The battlefield suddenly fell into an eerie atmosphere.
The Silicon Ray Civilization, the Cleaners Civilization, and the Imperial Fortress all fell silent at this moment.
What?
Human civilization?
In such a situation, is there any right for human civilization to speak?
At this moment, Lü Yongchang wished that the human fleet would turn into an insignificant speck of interstellar dust and disappear from the sight of this advanced civilization!
...
Inside the White Dwarf Fortress.
Unlike the quiet atmosphere outside, inside the White Dwarf Fortress [9436], a raging inferno was brewing.
"9527! I'll f*** you!"
"Silicon-based civilization, what a wonderful silicon-based civilization!"
"They actually concealed such important information!"
"Damn 9527!"
Silicon-based civilization is nothing special.
However, the silicon-based civilization from the Milky Way deserves our utmost attention!
"No wonder, no wonder the Milky Way branch didn't take action against this Enrogett civilization!" [9436] trembled with anger. "So they wanted the Andromeda branch to take the blame!"
"Now..." a companion asked in a low voice.
"Now?" [9436] swung its tentacles and returned to its seat. "Retreat!"
"Report all the details to Mother Civilization truthfully!"
"Even if someone is to be punished, it should be 9527 who is punished!"
...
Time passed by, second by second.
Whether it's the Silician civilization or human civilization, both are on edge at this moment.
Human civilization goes without saying.
As for the Silicium Ray civilization...
As a level seven civilization, it also lacks the knowledge of the four dimensions, and if a real fight were to break out, it would be no match for the Cleaners civilization.
The wormholes used in the rapid battlefield and the technology to neutralize four-dimensional shockwave attacks were actually stockpiled devices left behind by the Tenth Empire.
Suddenly, after flashing a blue-white light, the slightly illusory projection of the Cleaners' civilization's white dwarf fortress became real—it returned to three-dimensional space.
The Silicon Ray civilization breathed a slight sigh of relief, and its tense body relaxed somewhat.
Without any further communication, the White Dwarf Fortress vanished from the visible universe in an instant.
According to tachyon radar, it is heading towards the Andromeda Galaxy at a speed exceeding c.
It's safe now.
Inside the Earth, Lü Yongchang slumped into a chair, a bitter smile on his face as he gently wiped the fine beads of cold sweat from his forehead.
This is probably the closest human civilization has come to extinction since it left Earth.
Of course, the crisis being resolved does not mean the end of the matter.
In the holographic projection, the enormous silicon-based creature, which looked like a ray, bypassed the imperial fortress and slowly approached the front of the human fleet.
