Chapter 1014: Waiting
Lampard knows that this is an opportunity, and one that must not be missed.
Since the outbreak of the war, he has been keeping an eye on Beya. Although Bea hid well and didn't give him any chance, Lampard was not in a hurry. After all the super-soldiers desperately protecting her are gone, Bea has only two options, either flee or come out and die. In front of a more powerful creator, it is simply useless to hide. Even if you hide in subspace, you will be controlled by a more powerful creator.
Lampard believes that Bea will escape.
It is important to know that no creator wants to face death.
In the four-dimensional universe, there is no concept of "death" at all, and all intelligent individuals have an infinite lifespan, and can even exist beyond time. It is precisely because of this that when they came to the three-dimensional cosmic space, all the creators obtained eternal life through scientific and technological means, mainly star nucleus. Although it is impossible to transcend time, all creators are accustomed to this way of survival.
Giving up life is almost unimaginable.
Of course, not every creator is friendly to a defeated enemy. At least not Lampard, who never gave his enemies the right to live.
Bea is Lamb Pad's neighbor, and even if he doesn't know Lamb Pad, he knows that Lambard has eliminated many of his weaker creators in his past expansion wars. Even those creators who surrendered, Blue Padard did not show mercy and would destroy them once they had what they wanted.
Obviously, Beya will not surrender.
It's just that she can't escape.
Lampard had thought of various ways for Bea to escape.
The most direct way is to use a space bridge to escape into a distant star system. It's just that the success rate of this method is also the lowest, because the space-time information generated by opening the space bridge will not disappear immediately, and Lampard can easily know where Dao Bea has fled.
In order to avoid leaving traces, Bea may choose a subspace bridge.
Because subspace bridges can only be used between galaxies created by the same creator, without the help of parallel space, space-time information will not be generated, and the spatial distortion caused by it is not obvious and will disappear soon, so it is difficult to be discovered by other creators.
It's just that Lampard has been prepared for a long time.
That is, after the outbreak of the war, he had sent a large number of Hingis super-soldiers to the star system also created by Bea through the subspace bridge, and established a conscious connection with these Hingis super-soldiers. As soon as Bea appears in other star systems, Blue Padard will be able to get the news immediately and rush over to get there before Bea escapes, leaving Bea with nowhere to run.
Of course, if Bea had taken this into account, she might have fled to the First System.
Although it is impossible for Lambard to chase down the First System to deal with Bea, in fact, many of the creators who have been defeated in the War of Intelligent Civilizations are hiding in the First System, but for Lambard, this is not a bad thing. The reason is simple, Bea may not be able to leave the First System again.
For the creators of a civilization that has lost its intelligence, staying in the first galaxy is the only option to save their lives.
Besides, Lampard is very aware of Bea's relationship with Becca. If Bea is defeated, there is a good chance that Becca will put her under house arrest in order to prevent the leakage of her science and technology. Prior to this, many of the creators who had fled to the First Galaxy had been placed under house arrest by Becca.
If Bea knew this, she wouldn't have gone to the First System.
To know the truth, for the creator, being under house arrest is more painful than being finished outright.
If you don't go to the First System and want to escape Lampard, you have only one option, which is to go to the Akula System and try to get the protection of Beyan.
Lampard knew about the relationship between Beiya and Beiyang, and even felt that Beiya had facilitated the alliance between Beiyang and Ali, after all, Ali didn't know Beiyang at all, at least with Beiyang's character, he would not take Ali, a creator who was originally very weak and had a low status in the family, in his eyes. Only if Beya intervenes will it be possible for Beyan to agree to an alliance with Ali. In this way, it is possible for Beyan to provide shelter for Beya.
Clearly, Lampard wasn't stupid enough to challenge Bayan.
In this region, Beyan is the most powerful creator, otherwise the Akula would not have been able to grow and fight, let alone compete with Deria.
It's just that Lampard knows better that Bayan may not be able to stand out for Bea.
If it had been Ali who went to find Beyang, the situation might have been different.
Even if the alliance with Ali is not considered, Beyan has another issue to consider, which is the threat that Lampard will pose to him as he grows. As long as human civilization doesn't perish, and Ali is strong enough, there's a good chance that Beyan can help her deal with Lampard.
The problem is, Beya went to find Beyang, I'm afraid it will be different.
The most important thing is that the Elama created by Beya have surrendered and been disarmed, and Bea has little influence over humanity.
Obviously, Beyan certainly wouldn't think that by supporting Bea, he would be able to control the humans against Lampard and the Hingis.
In this case, Beyan will provide refuge for Bea with personal connections, but will definitely not support Bea, let alone go to war with Lampard for Bea.
According to Lampard's judgment, if the overall situation cannot be changed, Beyan will try to win over another creator, and it is likely that he will be a neighbor of Lampard, and will even encourage this creator to start a war against Lampard before the Hingis achieve a total victory, so as to achieve the goal of weakening Lampard. In this way, even if the Hingis exterminate humanity and occupy 10,000 star systems controlled by humans, they are likely to lose their native star systems and be severely damaged, and they will not be able to pose a threat to other intelligent civilizations in their vicinity. At least in the short term, Lampard will have to focus on recovering the Hingis, and Bayan will have a stable external environment as a result.
What is certain is that Bayan will never come out to face Ranpad in person.
The reason is simple, if Bayan himself comes out to face Ranpad, Deria will not sit idly by, or at least take the opportunity to hit Bayyan.
As for the threat from other creators, Lampard wasn't too worried.
The other three creators are all under Beyan, and even if they are stronger than Lampard, they are not much stronger. Maybe they'll be moved by Bayyan's words and will act in their own interests, but they'll certainly have some scruples, at least considering that Lampard has gained more strength after defeating Arley. In this way, they may not be able to act immediately, and Lampard can use this opportunity to defuse the crisis.
Of course, the Hingis can also use this opportunity to seize the galaxy controlled by humans.
As long as Lambard becomes strong enough, as long as the Hingis become strong enough, then the other creators will accept this fait accompli.
When the time comes, Bei Yang can only accept this fait accompli.
If this is the case, it is possible that Beyan will change his attitude towards Ranpard and form an alliance with Ranpard to maintain the balance of the outer space and eliminate the threat from the periphery, so that he can concentrate his forces on Delia. In this case, he will even tolerate and support the expansion war launched by Lampard, and acquiesce in the Hingis waging war against other intelligent civilizations, thus giving the Hingis a chance to grow and grow.
In other words, even if Bea fled to the Akula system, all she would lose was her science and technology.
The Hingis will surely be able to win this war, and Lampard will be able to emerge stronger.
As such, Lampard was not worried about Bea escaping.
Of course, it would be great if Bea had the guts to come out and fight him.
Lampard was patient, and with all that he could, he had no reason to destroy the star system that was about to belong to him and to be controlled by him.
In fact, a stalemate in the war would do him even more.
That is, the elite of human civilization is all here, and the continuous fighting has caused the damage of human civilization, which has also helped to conquer other star systems controlled by human beings in the future. It is obviously more advantageous to wipe out the main force of human civilization on the spot than to start a war in other star systems. If humanity can be made to realize the gap between humanity and the Hingis through this brutal war, it may be possible to force humanity to surrender. When the time comes, 10,000 star systems will be captured without blood, and the war will be greatly shortened. As long as the Hingis are fast enough, they will be able to seize the fruits of victory in the war before other intelligent civilizations intervene.
Of course, when the Hingis and humans are in a stalemate, other intelligent civilizations may not intervene in this war, especially those three powerful intelligent civilizations. The reason is simple, in the case of a less clear ending, the addition of the other three intelligent civilizations will only complicate the situation. If they help the Hingis against the humans, and it is the humans who win in the end, they will be burned to death. If they secretly help humanity and it is the Hingis who wins, they are getting into a powerful enemy for no reason. Only when the situation becomes clear and victory or defeat has been decided, will the three intelligent civilizations take action to capture the fruits of victory.
The longer this battle drags on, the less chance there will be for other intelligent civilizations to intervene.
Lampard didn't want to share the gains with other intelligent civilizations, so there was no reason to launch a strong attack, and this war of attrition was maintained.
It's just that Blue Padd can't be distracted.
He had to keep an eye on Beya, and he had to keep an eye on the planet that had been moved from the orbit of the substar to the orbit of the main star and transformed into a military fortress.
Lampard was patient, but he ignored one issue.
Ali didn't die, Chu Tianjiang didn't die, and Beya wasn't his main enemy at all.
