Meanwhile, on the other side...
The Star Alliance, which had been delayed in receiving the news, finally got the information about the Noyun system!
This is happening in the Star Alliance temporary meeting room.
"Has the Kaiyuan Nuoyun Galaxy been attacked?"
"Are you sure? Is the source accurate?!"
"Who attacked? What level of damage was done to the Noyun system?"
...
Inside the temporary meeting room, all the Star Alliance executives who were able to attend spoke with great urgency.
"Wait, how did you guys find out about this...?"
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone looked at Zhou Gan.
"Zhou Gan? Did you arrange this in the Nuoyun system?"
Hearing the questions from the crowd, Zhou Gan slowly raised his head.
Everyone was utterly horrified by his expression!
At that moment, they believed that Zhou Gan had orchestrated everything, and just as they were about to press for answers...
Zhou Gan slowly shook his head.
"It wasn't my arrangement."
"I just got this news from Xinghen..."
After everyone saw that Zhou Gan's expression seemed genuine, they fell silent.
A question mark slowly emerged in their minds.
Because of the special location of the Nuoyun Galaxy, it is situated in the heart of Kaiyuan, adjacent to the Abyss Zone, and is protected by the Elemental Alliance and the Mechanical Alliance.
It can be described as a galaxy that is easy to defend but difficult to attack.
In addition, the abundant resources within the Noyun system make any force that wants to attack think twice about whether it can outlast the Noyun system's resources.
These conditions mean that only three forces can attack the Nuoyun Star System or even pose a threat to it: the Star Alliance, the Myriad Races, and Kaiyuan.
Why would all the races attack Nuoyun?
After considering this possibility, one of the leaders immediately asked, because as a high-ranking member of the Star Alliance, he knew that the Star Alliance currently did not have the capability to penetrate deep into Kaiyuan's territory to attack Nuoyun, so the only possibility was the Myriad Races.
Before they could think about it further, they heard Zhou Gan slowly shake his head.
"Not all races."
"Not one of the myriad races?!"
These words plunged the meeting room into an eerie silence once more...
After a moment, one of the leaders tentatively asked...
"Could it be the Elemental Alliance and the Mechanical Alliance? Could it be that they can't withstand the pressure from Kaiyuan anymore?"
"According to Starmark's reconnaissance, the Elemental Alliance and the Mechanical Alliance have just dispatched fleets to the Noyun System... So, while they might be involved, it's unlikely..."
Faced with Zhou Gan's repeated denials, the other leaders could no longer sit still and immediately questioned him.
"Zhou Gan! Stop playing coy! Who is it?!"
Upon hearing this, Zhou Gan hesitated for a moment before speaking slowly.
"I'm not trying to keep you in suspense, but... I also find it incredible."
"According to information intercepted by Starscar, the ones besieging the Noyun system are the Zerg..."
"The Zerg? The Zerg..."
As one of the leaders murmured, his eyes suddenly lit up!
"The Zerg?! Could it be Jiang Wang?!"
"How is that possible? Even if Jiang Wang is a genius, he can only reach the Diamond level at most in such a short time!"
"The Noyun Galaxy has three masters overseeing it!"
The leader immediately retorted.
"Could it be a reclusive powerhouse from some insect-type lord?"
The meeting room erupted into another heated argument.
Zhou Gan frowned slightly at the sight of the argument.
"Bang!"
Everyone stopped arguing and looked at Zhou Gan, who was in the main seat.
"Regardless of who it was, after investigation by Xinghen and many other sources, it has been confirmed that Nuoyun was attacked."
"Furthermore, there has been a large-scale movement of fleets within Kaiyuan. Preliminary estimates suggest that the Ninth and Seventeenth Fleets are involved. Moreover, based on my recent reconnaissance at the front lines, Kaiyuan has lost 3 to 5 masters."
"Moreover, the Kaiyuan Fleet's recent offensive frequency has dropped to its lowest level since the start of the war, and it is also continuously retreating..."
As Zhou Gan listed out all the messages, everyone's spirits were suddenly lifted.
"So, should we...?"
A leader asked with some expectation...
"Yes, whoever attacked the Noyun system, at least it gave us some breathing room..."
Upon hearing Zhou Gan's words, all the leaders showed varying degrees of joy on their faces.
Just when everyone was happy, a voice suddenly made everyone's smiles disappear.
"Then can we organize a counterattack?!"
"Are you crazy?!"
"What we need most right now is to rest and recuperate!"
Faced with a question from a logistics leader, the general in charge of operations immediately responded.
"Resting and recuperating?!"
"With such a massive fleet stationed at our doorstep, if there really is a problem in the Nuoyun system, then its remaining resources and supplies must be extremely limited!"
"In that case, now is not the time for us to rest and recuperate, but the time for a counterattack!"
"Only a counterattack! Devastating the Star Alliance fleet will give us more time to recover!"
The general's eyes were wide with anger, and he was extremely agitated!
Hearing his words, the others showed varying degrees of hesitation.
Seeing the reactions of those around him, the general became anxious. He stared straight at Zhou Gan, as if he wanted to jump out of the virtual screen!
"Zhou Gan! This is our best chance!"
"We can't stop! So many people have died! We can't stop! As long as we fight, we still have a glimmer of hope!"
"Let me go! My 34th Regiment is willing to be the main attacker! Let's go and deplete Kaiyuan's last resources!"
"Bang! Enough!"
Zhou Gan suddenly stood up!
His bloodshot eyes stared straight at the general, then swept over everyone else.
"We need to rest and recuperate first. Even if we want to launch a counterattack, we must first make a good strategic plan."
As he spoke, Zhou Gan walked towards the outside of the conference room.
"Zhou Gan! What are you doing?!"
"I'm going to check on the Kaiyuan Fleet."
With that, Zhou Gan left the meeting room!
Inside the meeting room, everyone looked at each other, and finally all looked at the emotionally charged general.
"General Liu...you...sigh..."
...
Meanwhile, Zhou Gan sped off towards the Kaiyuan fleet...
Although he was about to venture alone into Kaiyuan's massive fleet, he was thinking about something else entirely.
That is...
Was it Jiang Wang who attacked the Noyun Galaxy?
