Chapter 294: Are You Treating Us Like Fools?

But the only thing worth worrying about at this moment is that the other three civilizations may not accept the good intentions of human civilization.

It's still the same sentence. Now the strength of our three civilizations has been greatly damaged, and the strength of your human civilization has not been damaged at all. You said you came to support us against predators. What if you suddenly point your guns at us?

Who dares to take this risk?

"It doesn't matter."

Han Liang smiled and shook his head, his tone was calm, his expression was calm, but his words were full of domineering.

"At the beginning, they wanted us to provide assistance, we refused, and they had to accept it.

Now, they don't want us to provide assistance, but we have decided to send a fleet to help them, and they have to accept it.

Whether to help them depends on us, not on them. No matter what the result is, they can only bear it."

Hearing Han Liang's words, the committee members suddenly realized that they had fallen into a misunderstanding before.

With the current strength of human civilization, there is no need to consider their reaction at all. Not to mention that we have no intention of destroying you, we are really helping you hunt predators. Even if we really want to destroy you, so what?

This resolution was passed by the ruling committee, and it really entered the preparation stage.

Sending a fleet for an expedition is not a trivial matter. The manpower and material resources involved are extremely complex. Of course, it has not been really announced at this moment.

But the relevant rumors still spread, causing a lot of speculation in society, and I don’t know how many people are looking forward to it.

When the news of "sending an expedition fleet to assist the other three civilizations" reached the ears of the diplomats of various civilizations stationed in the solar system, the envoys immediately became restless.

After some information collection and data analysis, after basically confirming the authenticity of the matter, they immediately sent the news back to their own civilization.

At this moment, the second asteroid belt in the Motan galaxy.

A mining ship, escorted by four warships, is trying its best to accelerate and try to quickly pass through the asteroid belt where pterosaurs are entrenched.

Next to the fleet, at least 50 pterosaurs were spraying hot flames from their wings, pushing their side to catch up quickly. The four warships blocked the surrounding airspace and poured out gunfire desperately.

The captain of the third ship, Akashi Hikaru, looked solemn.

He knew in his heart that this mining ship was loaded with about 3 million tons of high-purity tungsten ore ready to be transported to the capital planet. There was a shortage of tungsten ore on the capital planet, which even slowed down the construction of warships.

Without enough warships, what can intelligent life use to fight predators?

These 3 million tons of high-purity tungsten ore are too important to be lost.

But the situation at the moment is too dangerous.

Originally, there were 10 escort warships, which were usually enough. But unexpectedly, the pterosaurs were so cunning that they mobilized hundreds of companions to launch an ambush and siege. Now six warships were damaged, and only four of their own were left.

If Akashi Hikaru had not been experienced in combat and was a famous combat hero in the whole civilization, and had once created an incredible record of killing 16 pterosaurs and driving away 22 pterosaurs with one battleship, I am afraid that even these four battleships would not be able to escape.

"Captain, it's bad, the number of pterosaurs is still increasing, and at least 20 more are coming from the surrounding areas!"

The faces of the soldiers were full of fear.

The battle with the pterosaurs has lasted for more than a hundred years. In these more than a hundred years, I don't know how many comrades have been buried in the vast space and eaten by these damn pterosaurs.

Now, are we going to follow the footsteps of those predecessors?

Why do these damn pterosaurs want to invade us...

Akashi Hikaru sighed.

His extremely high tactical literacy has made him understand the current situation instantly.

"Warriors, now we have two options.

The first is that our ship, the transport ship, and three friendly warships will die here together. There are too many pterosaurs, our thrust is damaged, and we are running low on fuel, so we can't escape.

The second option is... our ship will go to cover the rear, delay the pterosaurs' pursuit, and create escape opportunities for friendly warships and transport ships.

With my wisdom, I can only find these two options."

The warriors were silent.

Only our side can be competent for the task of covering the rear. Because only our side is elite, and only we have a famous heroic captain like Akashi Hikaru who is well-known in the whole civilization.

The other three warships are not looked down on, but they are really not good enough.

But...no matter which option is chosen, our side will die.

The only difference is whether only we die or everyone dies.

"Captain, let's go and cover their retreat and fight them!"

"Fight! Fight! As long as the cargo ship can reach the capital planet, we can build more warships later, and the brothers behind us will avenge us!"

"It's better than everyone dying!"

The soldiers were excited.

Akashi Hikaru's eyes swept across the faces of the soldiers one by one. He saw that many young soldiers were so scared that tears came out of their eyes, but they were still gritting their teeth and roaring to fight the pterosaurs.

In the face of life and death, fear is not shameful. As long as you can overcome fear and stick to your original beliefs, you are still a hero.

"Okay. Then... slow down!"

The other four ships were speeding up desperately. Only the warship Akashi Hikaru was in began to slow down, and in this way, it immediately distanced itself from the main force.

Fierce artillery fire poured into the vast starry sky amid the roar of the soldiers. Dozens of pterosaurs spread their wings and rushed toward the lonely battleship.

The four spacecraft successfully escaped danger.

"Comrades, we can no longer return. Please send the cargo ship to the capital star, destroy the predators, and protect our civilization..."

After this message, no more information came out.

Looking into the vast deep space, among the four spaceships, whether they were soldiers or crew members on the cargo ship, they all stood at attention and solemnly saluted in the direction of Akashi Hikari.

After confirming that Akashi Hikaru died a hero in order to cover the cargo ship's escape, an emergency call was made to the Motan capital.

Head Motan rubbed his forehead tiredly.

After more than a hundred years of arduous fighting, the huge civilization is still persisting until now, without collapse, and still retains the hope of victory. Head Motan is extremely tired.

But emergency calls cannot be delayed and must be answered immediately. Because the most important news is eligible to be delivered through emergency calls.

"Reporting to the head of state, it has been confirmed that the super battle hero, Captain Akashi Hikaru, was attacked by a pterosaur while escorting a tungsten ore ship through the second asteroid belt. In order to protect the safety of the tungsten ore ship, Captain Akashi Hikaru led the battleship to bravely cut off the rear. In the end, the tungsten ore ship escaped successfully, and a total of 89 soldiers, including Captain Akashi Hikaru, all... died heroically."

In a daze, Head Motan recalled the young man who was as tough as steel.

Not long ago, I personally awarded him a medal in recognition of his heroic deeds. Unexpectedly, he also died in space...

Head Motan's heart was filled with grief. But his expression remained calm.

The more difficult the moment, the more important it is to hold on and never show any weakness or vulnerability to the outside world. Otherwise, the entire civilization's will to fight may collapse, and civilization will completely lose hope.

"I understand. Let's hold a memorial service. I will attend in person. At the same time, I will use this incident as an opportunity to call on more people to learn from heroes."

"yes."

The phone was hung up, and not long after, the emergency communication phone rang again.

Another extremely important and urgent matter.

After looking at the message, the call turned out to be from the ambassador of the Motan Civilization in the Solar System.

A bad premonition emerged in Chief Motan's heart.

The call is connected.

"The matter is urgent, I can only report to you directly."

The ambassador to the solar system spoke solemnly: "We have just confirmed that the human government is preparing to send an expeditionary force to assist the Motan, Phix, and Yuanshan civilizations.

The reason is to fulfill alliance obligations and assist social intelligent civilizations in fighting predators. After our further investigation, there is some information that shows that human civilization is actually for economic interests.

It seems that the body tissue of predators such as pterosaurs has certain special nutrients for humans. It has the effects of nourishing yin and strengthening yang, and beautifying the skin, and is very popular with humans.

At the same time, there are very few pterosaurs in the solar system, and the supply of pterosaur biological products is seriously insufficient. Human civilization plans to obtain a large supply of pterosaur biological products by assisting our three civilizations.

But we suspect that this reason is also a disguise. "

Hearing the words of the Ambassador of Motan Civilization to the Solar System, Head Motan's heart felt cold, his face turned pale, and his body could not help but tremble slightly.

Damn it, damn it!

Sure enough, no matter what you were afraid of, the worst happened!

What bullshit economic benefits, what bullshit biological products, what bullshit nourishing yin and strengthening yang!

Damn, using pterosaurs as an aphrodisiac? Damn the compilation of human civilization is so perfunctory! They are so perfunctory in their strategic deception, they are just treating us like fools!

The real purpose of human civilization must be to take advantage of people's danger, take advantage of the fact that our three civilizations are deeply trapped in the quagmire of predators, and the strength of our civilization has been greatly weakened, and they plan to destroy us!

Damn it!

Fighting against a predator has required us to do our best. We have damaged hundreds of thousands of battleships and sacrificed almost half of our battle-hardened veterans. We have only been able to persist until now by relying on large-scale conscription. The potential of civilized warfare has been squeezed to its limit. .

Now, if there is another human civilization expeditionary force, how can we fight?

"Help me get through to the heads of the Yuanshan Civilization and the Fix Civilization, immediately."

Through the emergency hotline, after a while, the three heads of civilization appeared in the virtual conference room, and their expressions were solemn, obviously they all knew the information.

"Human civilization has such a huge appetite... This is to take advantage of the predator crisis to eliminate geopolitical threats in one fell swoop..."

So...what do we do?

The three heads of civilization looked at each other in silence. (End of chapter)
