Galaxy Domination Guide

In the Galaxy, military achievements among civilizations were never just about who had more warships, who had bigger cannons, or whose technology was more advanced. True military geniuses would use every means possible to create favorable conditions for themselves.

Su Beisi was not entirely unaware of his opponents, the Iridium Star people; he knew that their technological level surpassed most mid-level civilizations, and it might even be at the level of a high-level civilization. However, the Star Alliance, formed after the Iridium Star people teamed up with Earth, also had significant flaws.

They lacked the real foundation of a civilization. The Iridium Star people brought advanced technology and even generously included the Earthlings, but it wasn't something Earthlings could master overnight. On the other hand, the strength of the Star Alliance was too weak. Even though they had war weapons significantly more powerful than those of Teizene, the smaller numbers made them less effective.

Su Beisi was unsure exactly how many warships the Star Alliance had before the reconnaissance ship incident, but from what he had observed over the past six months, the production capabilities of the Star Alliance had reached unimaginable levels. In a short period, they had managed to build a fleet comparable in size to Teizene's first invasion fleet.

Thus, Su Beisi knew that if he didn't curb the growth of the Star Alliance at this time, Teizene might never get another chance to defeat such an opponent in the future. And if at this critical juncture, Su Beisi's Teizene fleet could strangle the nascent Earth civilization, all of Iridium Star's advanced technology would fall into Teizene's hands, and the valuable Danlu Interstellar Cloud would become Teizene's new base.

Through tactical deception and unrevealed trump cards, Su Beisi successfully enacted this time-differential strategy, luring Xu Lanzhou with the Star Alliance main fleet far to the Frost River Galaxy, while he led Teizene's main force into the Danlu Interstellar Cloud at the same dual-stage warp speed.

From the very beginning of Su Beisi leading the fleet in warp speed travel, the strategic alert system in the Danlu Interstellar Cloud had already detected the information.

Bai Zhongqi, looking stern and somewhat pale, stared at the screen which was gathering a large amount of data; by then, he had almost guessed the truth.

"We've been played by the Teizene," said Bai Zhongqi, with a heavily suppressed aura.

Ling was still clueless about how Bai Zhongqi had reached that conclusion, looking at him utterly baffled.

Bai Zhongqi explained, "It must be because Harass's fake identity in communications has been exposed. That Sixteenth Prince deliberately leaked that his fleet needed time for repairs and that they were low on supplies and shield sharing needed time to cool down. It's a clear show of weakness. It's because of this we thought it was a good opportunity, so we sent our fleet to the Frost River Galaxy for this surprise attack."

Ling still couldn't quite believe it, "You mean, all of this was a trap set by Teizene?"@@novelbin@@

Bai Zhongqi nodded, "We were setting a trap for Teizene, and they were setting a trap for us. In fact, I should have realized sooner that at this time, Teizene's invasion fleet should not have disclosed their grim situation to 'Harass', instead, they should have bolstered 'Harass's' confidence, who is a mole on Earth."

By then, Ling was getting frantic and anxiously said to Bai Zhongqi, "If your guess is right, then inside that warp bubble with the second stage warp speed, must be Teizene's main force, and the Sixteenth Prince might have put all his main battle ships in this one warp bubble. That's up to nearly a hundred main battle ships although many of them are just for show. But our defensive forces in the interstellar cloud are already very weak, and Commander Xu is trapped in transit and can't return. We are in extreme danger."

She took a step forward, emotions somewhat unchecked as she grabbed Bai Zhongqi's arm, and said, "Your Majesty, we still have a chance to retreat. The Fourth Strategic Fleet is intact. We can take Ruyi City, take Spratly Islands, and directly activate dual-stage warp speed to leave the Danlu Star Domain. The enemy won't be able to track our route."

Bai Zhongqi's expression turned slightly cold, and he gently shook off Ling's hand, saying to her, "I know you care for me, but to leave behind my compatriots on Earth, to abandon billions of lives, just like that—I can't do it!"

Ling still tried to persuade him, "You can take your girlfriend, your family. If we evacuate now, we could still take tens of millions with us. The transport capacity of Spratly Island is considerable. Our Iridium Star capabilities can continuously replicate our forces. With just a bit of a seed left, we can obliterate Teizene to dust in the future."

Bai Zhongqi still shook his head and didn't continue to speak with Ling; he turned and walked out of the Wu Ya Palace command center.

From within the warp bubble that had exited the Danlu Interstellar Cloud, Xu Lanzhou's shoulders trembled uncontrollably; if it weren't for restraining herself, her tears would have fallen.

"It's all... all my fault." Xu Lanzhou encased her chair armrest tightly with her jade-like delicate hands, her fingers turning pale from the force.

The gentle Xu arrived beside her then, consoling her, "This isn't your fault, don't blame yourself."

Xu Lanzhou suddenly turned, her face awash with sorrow and despair, "How is it not my fault?! I was the main advocate for striking at Teizene, it was I who fell for Teizene's trickery! It's all my fault. I shouldn't have tried to prove my capabilities in front of the Chancellor, shouldn't have wanted to show off, and now I've put the Chancellor in such grave danger."

Xu's friend continued, "Your decision was not wrong at the time, and the Chancellor is not harmed now. He will definitely lead us out of this hardship."

Xu Lanzhou clenched her fists, her nails almost digging into her flesh, she bit her lip and said, "The Chancellor must leave Earth immediately; the Teizene fleet has nearly a hundred main battle ships, and with their shield sharing, we have no chance without an absolute advantage."

Xu's friend sighed deeply, "Ah, don't you understand the Chancellor's heart? No matter how difficult the situation, he will not abandon his fellow citizens. Yesterday it was Iridium Star compatriots, today it's Earth compatriots. As a leader of the Star Alliance, he carries such a burden, so fleeing is something he will definitely not do—he will stay and fight Teizene to the end…"
