Compared with the attack launched by the Alliance of Intelligent Civilizations, the Trulli counterattack was not only more sudden, but also more violent.

When exactly the Trulli launched a counterattack, I'm afraid no one can say. By the time Zhang Xiaogang and Bea received the news, the Trulli had already launched a counterattack across millions of star systems, and had wiped out the legions of the Alliance of Intelligent Civilizations, that is, the legions of humans and Akula. What surprised Zhang Xiaogang and Bei Ya even more was that none of these attacked legions could send back messages in time. That is, after being attacked, these corps were completely annihilated, and it was not even possible to contact the rear. From this, it can be inferred that the Trulli must have invested a lot of troops, otherwise they would not have the ability to wipe out hundreds of millions of legions in millions of star systems in one fell swoop.

You know, these are the main legions of humans and Akula.

According to Zhang Xiaogang's deployment, before completing the task of capturing all star systems, the main armies of humans and Akula fighting on the front line were all humans. At least half of the legions in any stellar system have fought in family wars, fighting the Trulli legions on frontal battles. Most of the super soldiers in these legions have participated in the battles of the family war, have rich combat experience, and have a good understanding of the Trulli people, especially the combat methods of the Trulli people. What's more, these warriors are extremely valiant and are the elite of humans and Akula. In the previous battles, these legions have shown extremely strong combat effectiveness, and they have also proved their super strength with practical actions.

Obviously, even if they encounter a powerful enemy, these legions will not be completely wiped out, and there is no reason for them to be completely wiped out by the enemy before the alarm is raised.

Unless, encountering a strong enemy that cannot be defeated at all.

Now, the problem arises.

If only the Trulli legions were encountered, then it would be absolutely impossible for all legions in millions of star systems to be completely wiped out before they could contact the outside world.

There is only one force that can do this, and that is the powerful Abaka.

The problem is that the Trulli are fighting back against more than a million star systems at the same time, and even if Abarca himself intervenes, it is impossible for them to appear in millions of star systems at the same time.

Obviously, neither Zhang Xiaogang nor Bea believed that Abaka could appear in millions of star systems at the same time.

However, such speculation does not necessarily mean that the situation is getting better.

The point is that if Abaka is not directly related to the counterattack launched by the Trulli, it can only show that the war strength of the Trulli is far beyond Zhang Xiaogang's expectations.

Obviously, this counterattack launched by the Trulli people completely changed Zhang Xiaogang's understanding of this intelligent civilization.

Although on the frontal battlefield, Zhang Xiaogang once led the human legion to face the Trulli legion, and achieved relatively brilliant results. Before Bei Yang led the Akula people to replace human civilization and become the main combat force of the Alliance of Intelligent Civilizations on the frontal battlefield, Zhang Xiaogang was always in charge of the frontal battlefield. But compared with Zhang Xiaogang's previous understanding, the combat effectiveness shown by the Trulli people in this counterattack is stronger. To put it more clearly, Zhang Xiaogang even felt that this was not just a counterattack by the Trulli people. Even if there is not enough evidence, Zhang Xiaogang still believes that this counterattack has a more important and profound significance.

Since the Trulli people can take out all the legions of the Alliance of Intelligent Civilizations in millions of star systems in one go, it is not a problem at all to recapture the millions of star systems captured by the Alliance of Intelligent Civilizations through counterattacks. If the Trulli counterattack was simply to recapture those star systems, they should have attacked all of them at once, rather than concentrating their forces on the more than a million of them.

Clearly, the Trulli were sending some kind of message through counterattacks.

To be precise, Abaka asked the Trulli to launch a counterattack in order to convey some important message.

Is Abaka testing the strength of the Alliance of Intelligent Civilizations?

Although there is no evidence to prove Zhang Xiaogang's speculation, this speculation itself is extremely significant. If this guess is correct, then the next response of the Alliance of Intelligent Civilizations, the military deployment in response to the counterattack launched by the Trulli, is of great significance.

After having this guess, Zhang Xiaogang first told Beya.

"Are you sure?"

Zhang Xiaogang nodded slightly and said, "Obviously, the war strength of the Trulli people is far beyond our expectations. If my judgment is correct, in the previous battles with the Beka, the Trulli did not use their full combat strength, at least in those battles in which we participated, the Trulli had reservations. Judging from the current situation, it will not be difficult for the Trulli to recapture all the star systems that we have captured, or even completely wipe out the Alliance of Intelligent Civilizations. The problem is, the Trulli didn't do that, they just recaptured more than a million star systems, and without any suspense, let us lose these star systems and the legions in these star systems. If the purpose of the Trulli was only to deal with us, they should not have fought like this. ”

"It should be dispersed and attack all the star systems we have captured at the same time."

"Even attacking our new homes at the same time."

Bea let out a long sigh and said, "If the Trulli people really have such strength and don't do it, then your guess is not wrong. ”

"Obviously, Abaka's letting the Trulli launch a counterattack at this time is of great significance in itself."

"What do you mean?"

Zhang Xiaogang smiled reluctantly and said, "The timing of this counterattack is very unusual in itself. Don't forget, after the first two years of fighting, the strength of the Intelligent Civilization Alliance has been proven, and at least enough members of the Creator Alliance have agreed. Now we are not only fighting against the Trulli, but also many intelligent civilizations that originally belonged to the Abaka family. If this momentum is not contained, it won't be long before all the members of the Creators League join in and become enemies of the Trulli. At this point, even if Abaka is strong enough, he will not be able to pacify the rear without paying a heavy price. ”

"In other words, Abaka wants to use this to stabilize the rear?"

"It's not stability."

"What's that?"

"Through us, through the Alliance of Intelligent Civilizations, a larger-scale military alliance will be formed, including the Alliance of Creators."

"This ......"

"Although we have an alliance agreement with the Creators Alliance, it is not binding and therefore of little practical value. It is also true that when we attacked the Trulli, not all of the Creators League members joined the war. Even though more and more members of the Creators Alliance join the war as a result of our efforts, their purpose is not to help us defeat the Trulli, but to grow through this war, to be precise, to expand the living space of the Trulli people without time for anything else. Abaka is obviously not stupid, and if he waits until the tide is over to deal with us, even if he defeats us, he will have to fight against the many members of the Creator Alliance. In fact, with just one Creator Alliance member as an enemy, Abaka will run into a lot of trouble. ”

Beya nodded and said, "Maybe the Creators Alliance won't help us defeat the Trulli, but they will unite against Abaka." ”

"Exactly. As long as Abaka poses a threat to the Creators Alliance, then the Creators Alliance will mobilize and all members will become Abaca's enemies. ”

"Obviously, Abaka wants to avoid such a situation."

"For this, he needs an intermediate force."

"What is the amount of intermediate force?"

"A force that can connect him to the League of Creators."

"We?"

Zhang Xiaogang nodded and said, "In fact, this is also the key reason why Abaka did not directly eradicate us when we were growing and developing. Perhaps, Abarca never took the Alliance of Intelligent Civilizations into account, nor did he see us as a threat, but he knew that in due time, we could be a bridge between him and the Creator Alliance, and connect him to the Creator Alliance. ”

"This ......"

"If we're an insignificant force, then the Creators Alliance is a big deal."

Bei Ya was slightly stunned, and then nodded, indicating that he understood what Zhang Xiaogang meant.

"Also, no matter what, the members of the Creator Alliance belong to the Abaka family, no matter how deep their contradictions with Abaka were in the past, Abaka's trust in them is far greater than that of the Wisdom Civilization Alliance from the Becca family, so it is easier to form an alliance with them."

"It's just that it is impossible for Abaka to directly come forward and invite an alliance."

"Obviously, if Abaka personally came forward to invite an alliance, the Creators Alliance would be asking too much, and he would have to accept such a request in order to win the family war. If it wasn't Abaka who came forward to make an alliance, but someone who had nothing to do with him at all, the Creators' Alliance would have demanded much less, and Abaka's price for the alliance would have been much lower. ”

"The problem is, this existence needs to be strong enough."

Zhang Xiaogang smiled and said, "That's why Abaka has never contacted us directly, even now. ”

"This ......"

"If we can withstand the Trulli counterattack, we are qualified to form an alliance with Abaka and act as an intermediary between Abaka and the Creators' Alliance."

Beya nodded, indicating that she understood what Zhang Xiaogang meant.

"The Trulli are definitely going to have a second round of counter-attacks, and this is our last chance."
