Chapter 2297: ice Beyond Deep Space
Beyond the Deep Space
The three leaders of the trial civilizations sat together, each with an increasingly grim expression.
"Don't remain silent."
The current situation is urgent for us.
The entire Deep Space Beyond realm we inhabit is within the safe zone defined after this update.
Only five star systems remain as safe zones.
I was even more unlucky; my trial civilization only had one safe star system.
We can't just keep waiting like this.
"This is a slow death for us!" a leader of a trial civilization said through gritted teeth.
"We are not unaware of this situation."
But the question is, how should we deal with this?
To wage war against other trial civilizations?
This could backfire!
You have all seen the current state of the Crimson Flame Federation.
Of the five trial civilizations, the Crimson Flame Federation is currently in the worst situation.
They've been fighting wars everywhere for almost a year now.
Although they did manage to seize some territory.
However, their military strength has also been greatly reduced, and they have even encountered considerable internal problems.
Anyone with eyes can see it.
The Crimson Flame Federation will be the first of all our trial civilizations to be eliminated.
"If we initiate a war against other trial civilizations now, we will become the second Crimson Flame Federation!" another trial civilization leader said, slightly more calmly.
But he was soon attacked by the leader of the first trial civilization.
"You can hold back."
You have two of the five safe zone star systems.
He also has two.
There's only one of me.
The resources of a galaxy.
How am I supposed to maintain my starship?
If this happened to you, you wouldn't be much better off than me.
In short, I do not accept the current situation.
You must give me a satisfactory answer.
If this answer does not satisfy me.
Then don't blame me for disowning my former allies!
Seeing this, President Korki, who had been silent all along, finally spoke up.
His gaze fell on the most emotional partner.
He said calmly, "Alright, calm down."
We are at least still partners in the same boat now.
Have you forgotten the consensus we reached when we formed our alliance?
Even if there can only be one winner in the trial of the gods.
But if we are one of them, the victor will treat the other two civilizations well.
We all know very well that we cannot possibly be a match for those powerful trial civilizations on our own.
If we start fighting amongst ourselves right now, we'll only give external enemies an opportunity to take advantage of us.
"I think we should just raise the white flag and surrender!" The Korki civilization is the strongest of the three trial civilizations.
His words carry the most weight.
The other two leaders of the trial civilizations also remained silent.
"As for the situation you just mentioned, we can completely understand it."
But it would be inappropriate to start a war right now.
Only you will suffer losses.
Let's do this.
For the next year, the two of us will bear the combat costs of all your trial civilization's interstellar fleets.
Consider it a kind of compensation to you, what do you think?
Upon hearing this proposal, everyone fell silent.
The leader of the trial civilization, who had been making a ruckus, quieted down and agreed to the plan.
President Korki looked at another civilization leader.
The other party nodded in agreement.
Although he might be somewhat unwilling.
However, if they don't do this, their journey to the other side of deep space will probably end here.
"Actually, compared to our current situation..."
I think we should pay more attention to the situation of the Xiaolong civilization.
We originally thought it would happen after the insect swarm appeared.
The existence of the Dragonflight civilization will be exposed to other trial civilizations.
But I never expected that a whole year would have passed.
The Xiaolong civilization didn't make any move whatsoever.
It was as if they didn't exist at all.
There are only two possibilities in this situation.
The first option is that they abandon all star systems in the danger zone and concentrate their fleet in the safe zone star systems, preparing to wait for the final decisive battle.
Another possibility is that they are greedy.
They established defensive lines at the edges of those star systems, repelling the insect swarms.
If it's the former, then that's fine.
It's simply a matter of how much they lost.
But if it's the second scenario...
Then we need to take precautions.
After all, by now, everyone doesn't have many star systems left.
If this Wyvern civilization still controls a large number of star systems, then they will become our greatest threat.
President Korki of the Civilization said with a serious expression.
"So what should we do?"
Should we proactively expose the existence of the Wyvern Civilization to attract the attention of other trial civilizations?
Or should we take action against the Wyvern civilization now?
"However, based on our previous assessment of the military strength of the Xiaolong civilization..."
The fact that they dared to take action against the Beast Alliance and the Golden Eyes Mutual Aid Association is enough to demonstrate their strong military power.
Even if we cooperate as a three-way party, we can still defeat the JF-17 fleet.
But the question is, what losses will we have to bear after we are defeated?
Will we still be able to fight against other trial civilizations in the time to come?
Both civilization leaders could see that everyone was strongly opposed to taking direct action against the Wyvern civilization at this time.
After all, the combat power previously revealed by the Xiaolong Civilization made it difficult for them not to be wary.
The combat power of those interstellar warships was beyond imagination.
It's important to know that during this period, most of the trial civilizations chose to abandon the star systems outside the safe zone.
A major reason for this is the fear that if they send troops to defend these star systems, the interstellar civilization that is secretly plotting against them might launch a surprise attack.
If such a situation were to occur, it would be extremely dangerous for them.
Therefore, they chose to abandon star systems in dangerous areas and instead focus on stabilizing their existing military strength.
Let's wait and see.
President Korki nodded and said seriously, "What you said makes a lot of sense."
We really can't do it ourselves.
I think we need to take a two-pronged approach.
On the one hand, be prepared to disclose this information.
On the other hand, it is necessary to find out the specific situation of the current Xiaolong civilization.
Previously, we had only found three star systems of the Xiaolong civilization.
We need to find out as much as possible how many star systems the JF-17 civilization still has.
Will they pose a threat to us?
Only after we understand this intelligence can we make a judgment!
Upon hearing President Korki's words, everyone showed expressions of agreement.
This idea was ultimately adopted unanimously after the three trial civilizations expressed their support.
The other side of deep space will dispatch a large number of interstellar reconnaissance ships to investigate the Xiaolong civilization.
If it can be confirmed within three months that the Xiaolong civilization does indeed pose a threat.
Then they will carry out their prepared plan!
