Chapter 175: Shocking Level-3 Civilization Appears!_2

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

According to Uncle Da, it was easy to build the ‘stick-shaped’ battleships. The main issue was with the ‘light needle’ production line. Despite running non-stop every day, it could only produce 100 ‘light needles’.

As for equipping the ‘stick-shaped’ battleships with ‘light needle’ launchers, that was not a hard task to solve. Basically, ten ‘stick-shaped’ battleships could be manufactured per day.

One hundred ‘light needles’ a day was quite a significant number. Zhao Yu was very satisfied. He asked Uncle Da to prioritize the production of ‘light needles’ and the modification of ‘stick-shaped’ battleships so they could be equipped as soon as possible.

Three days later.

“Commander, we’ve lost ten of our laser defense systems. We can arrange for a retreat now!”

Colonel Chu, looking tired but with a sparkle in his eyes reported.

He had personally commanded the battle against the aliens over the past three days. It had been an invaluable experience for him, and he had gained a lot of cosmic combat experience.

“Then let’s retreat!”

Zhao Yu nodded, then said, “The ‘light needle’ weapon has been loaded onto the Ruyi battleship which is on its way. We should meet them on our return journey. Arrange for a fleet to escort it…”

The ‘stick-shaped’ battleship, being new and only able to carry the ‘light needle’ weapon, was named Ruyi by Zhao Yu.

The inspiration came from Sun Wukong’s magical staff in the classic novel Journey to the West.

“No problem, I have designed two escort plans for the Ruyi battleship…” Colonel Chu also seemed excited. After all, this was a weapon that only a Level 3 civilization could have, and it was about to join their formation.

“Captain, good news, the indigenous people have started a large-scale retreat!”

Luka, aboard the command ship, rushed in with the joyful news.

Kote pushed away the woman next to him, quickly dressed, and stepped out to ask for details.

“Captain, just now, we destroyed their tenth laser defense system. Many ships in their rear base started to retreat. It looks like they are going back to Earth…”

The information leaked by Moro naturally reached the front line.

Kote and his men not only learned that this solar system was called the Solar System but also that the natives of their system mainly lived on the third planet known as Earth.

“Excellent, send the order, follow them, I want them all wiped out!”

Kote laughed, indulging in the joy of victory.

After waiting for a while, Kote noticed Luka hadn’t responded. Turning his head, he found Luca entranced, looking at the woman in his room.

Kote looked back just in time to see the woman posturing flirtatiously. She looked at Luca with a disdainful gaze. Kote quickly composed himself, lightly patted Luka’s shoulder, and smiled.

“Luka, you’ve done well recently, always watching the front line. You must be tired. I’ll reward you with a day off in my room…”

“What? This!!!”

Luka was stunned. What was happening?

“Captain, I’m not tired. It’s an honor for me to share your burdens…”

“This is an order!”

Kote forcefully put on a serious face.

Luka swallowed hard, glancing at the woman in the room. His throat moved involuntarily.

“Captain, I…”

This was his first encounter with such a situation, and he was somewhat at a loss.

“Just go!”

Kote grabbed Luca, pushed him into the room, and closed the door with a hearty laugh. Then he headed towards the command center.

In a deserted part of his route, he suddenly stopped and turned towards the guards following him like invisible men. “You know what to do, right?!”

The two guards exchanged glances, unsure. “You mean?”

“Luka has a childhood sweetheart who is also on board. She’s somewhat attractive. Find a chance to catch them in the act…”

“Yes…” The guards responded, clearly unfazed, though a bit hesitant. “That childhood sweetheart has some influence back home. That’s how she has been secretly supporting Luka…”

“Heh, does her influence surpass mine?!”

Kote sneered. If it wasn’t for the need to save face, even if he took her by force, no one would dare say anything.

“Besides, love is mutual consent. If he can’t control himself, can he blame others?!”

The guards had no words, and just nodded in agreement.

Twenty days later.

“Legion Commander, these people from the guidance group, they are not giving you any respect…”

The deputy commander was somewhat irritated. Dugo, as the legion commander, was treating these people from the guidance group with great hospitality, but his goodwill was met with cold shoulders. They were all quite arrogant. They dared not disrespect Dugo, but for him, Dugo’s trusted deputy, they would summon him at will and dismiss him just as quickly.

“These people have more powerful backgrounds than the next. Just bear with it…”

Dugo also felt helpless. Dealing with a single person from the guidance group was manageable, he wasn’t afraid, but altogether, they had enough power to wipe out the Du family, and he dared not be presumptuous.

Luckily, these people had their own internal disputes, which allowed him to get by these days relatively unscathed, except for his deputy commander.

“Are you feeling better?” Dugo asked with concern.

Touched on the sore spot, the deputy commander said indignantly, “Commander, they aren’t disrespecting me, they’re disrespecting you!”

A twitch formed at the corner of Dugo’s mouth. If he didn’t know that his deputy was just like this, he would have scolded him thoroughly.

He patted his deputy on the shoulder, and said, “Don’t worry, you are my man.

1 remember everything they do to you…”

“But for now, we have bigger issues to tackle. If 1 can successfully conquer these civilizations, 1 will surely stand at the top. At that time, you can deal with these arrogant youngsters…”

The deputy commander was overjoyed and quickly asked, “So what’s our plan?”

Dugo nodded, “Originally, 1 wanted to try harder, but now it seems they won’t let me take all the credit…”

“Quietly inform Gou Lie that he can start now, this time he doesn’t need to go to Proxima, go directly to the Solar System…”

“After entering, show off the warships that are larger than 50 kilometers, to let the civilizations of Proxima know that they are a level 3 civilization…”

“Also, ask them not to completely wipe out the invading civilization in the Solar System, but leave some to retreat. This will allow us to follow them back to their home star system…”

“As for the native civilization, destroy it completely, once and for all…”

The deputy commander was excited, “Legion Commander, this way, the remaining five civilizations in Proxima are probably going to flee back to their home stars in panic…”

“No, there are six!”

Dugo smiled, “You forgot about the civilization that the Moro fleet belongs to?”

The deputy commander smacked his head, “Look at my memory, they are still here…”

“It’s a pity that the destruction of the Solar System civilization by Gou Lie can’t be attributed to you, otherwise you would be a great man who destroyed eight civilizations…”

“Destroying seven civilizations is also quite an achievement, enough to be remembered in history…” Dugo laughed, urging, “Come on, stop wasting time, act quickly. In a few days, the orders from the alliance headquarters will probably arrive…”

“Finally, it’s about to end…”

“Yeah, this native civilization is just mediocre…”

“Judging by their retreat, they’re almost running back to the Earth…”

“According to the intelligence from the Moro fleet, there are several layers of laser defense systems outside the Earth…”

“All these are nothing, they have also destroyed a considerable number of laser defense systems during this time…”

Outside Proxima, the representatives of the five Level 2 civilizations were all talking.

Having watched the battles for over twenty days, they were itching to join.

But at this moment, everyone’s attention was on Kote.

Everyone was waiting for Kote to destroy the Earth, then follow Kote back to their home star system, trying to catch the mantis off guard.

Just on this day, the fleets of the five civilizations suddenly detected an oddity through the gravitational wave detector.

“Why did a super-large warship suddenly appear near the wormhole in the Solar System?!”

“That’s not right, there isn’t such a big warship near the Proxima wormhole…”

“The warships in the Solar System that belong to that hunting fleet have all gone to pursue?!”

As everyone was puzzled, the giant warship that suddenly appeared in the Solar System exhibited a speed far beyond what a Level 2 civilization could possess.

At this moment, everyone was shocked.

“This speed?!”

“Level 3 Civilization!”
