A group of gatherers anchored in the wreckage of the starport of the Holy Vorm State, littered with scattered debris, supplies, corpses, thick armor cracked and twisted, and the majestic steel behemoth had long been torn apart by unknown power.

Although it is a ruin, full of flying and fast debris, it is indeed a good place for collectors with proton lattices, and the wreckage of this starport can be used as a life-sustaining supply for collectors.

Their observation organs are always locked in the direction of the door, beware of enemy fleets that may pass through the door.

"Aren't we going yet?"

One of the individuals couldn't wait, so he asked his people in confusion.

"Stupid, our current strategic resources are insufficient, and we have to wait for the logistics team of the clan."

"Antimatter, in particular, consumes too much."

The inquiring individual is somewhat aggrieved, it just doesn't understand why the cluster is waiting here.

"But our strategic resources are obviously abundant......"

"The remaining strategic resources are in order to deal with emergencies, and all the strategic resources are exhausted, what should the enemy do if they counterattack? What to fight? The cluster leader asked rhetorically.

"Isn't there a fleet of the new empire to take our place as a defensive force?"

The gatherers were so successful that the garrisons were so vulnerable to their surprise attacks that they were often killed in the face that the enemy had never even seen them.

The fleet in which Human Man served showed up on his own initiative to obtain more useful information about the Holy Worm State.

It was because the enemy was so weak that the gatherers felt the need to be so cautious.

But this idea of its kind is not recognized by the cluster leaders.

"What if? What if I don't hold it? The will has taught us to prepare for the worst. ”

"That's ......"

The gatherer thought about it, and no longer wanted to refute it, since it was taught by the will, it was right after all, after all, the will is always right.

……

"Sorry, we're late."

A logistics team carrying supplies arrives through a door at one end to the star system where the Gatherers reside.

These sub-light-speed creatures build a connection channel with the leaping creatures, transitioning the supply from their own bodies into each other's bodies.

While resupplying, some gatherers asked their fellow logistics team members.

"How far is the construction on the gravitational ring?"

"When we left, we were still rushing to work, the amount of metal hydrogen resources is still insufficient, we are in the hoarding stage, and we need to wait a while to build the gravitational ring."

The logistic gatherer replied, then asked rhetorically.

"Where's your progress?"

"Because of the particularity of the gate, our progress is very fast, and we have destroyed a total of 58 enemies in the star system, occupied 37 star systems, and the remaining part of the star system is used as the strategic depth of the front line." The cluster leader replied.

"Have you encountered any strong enemies?"

The logistic team gatherers asked again, and they had to ask in detail, because this was the information they were going to bring back to the other clusters, and the gatherers over there would act accordingly based on the information.

"No, it's easy." The cluster leader replied.

"The enemy is weak?"

The gatherers of the logistics team were surprised, because from the reported group intelligence, the enemy was very strong, and the clusters of other star systems were very worried about the front line of the war with the Holy Worm State.

Unexpectedly, the truth is so different from what they thought.

"It's not weak."

A leaping creature answers, followed by another leaping creature.

"The enemy's lethality is not weak, although we are in a crushing position with materials science and other technologies, but the two technologies of teleportation and light weapons have equalized their original technical disadvantage, and even we are on the side that is at a relatively disadvantage."

"Are we on the underdog? I don't understand. ”

The gatherers of the logistics team are full of question marks, are we a disadvantage? And then the opponent is weak again? Isn't that a contradiction? Since we are a disadvantage, we should be pressed and beaten, what is the situation of winning the battle all the time?

Seeing that the people of the logistics team did not understand, the leader of the cluster explained.

"For example, do you remember the Mothership class of the Empire?"

"Yes."

The gatherers of the logistics team replied.

"If you want to attack the mothership, do you have to destroy the armor of the mothership class first?"

"That's right."

The group leader is seductive and induces him to go deep into the core of the topic in the form of rhetorical questions.

"So if you have teleportation technology, you only need to bypass the defense of the mothership-level armor through one teleportation, and you can carry out internal destruction, right?"

"Uh......"

The gatherers of the logistics team were stunned, and found that after having teleportation technology, it is indeed possible to achieve some rather terrifying combat modes, if the group applies teleportation technology, I am afraid that armor will become a thing of the past.

"Teleportation combined with the kind of glowing melee weapon that can destroy even proton lattices, it's a miracle that the new empire has lasted so long."

Some leaping creatures couldn't help but sigh, after all, the new empire was so weak, and it hadn't been destroyed or defeated by the Holy Worm State.

"It stands to reason that we shouldn't be able to win so easily, why?"

The gatherers of the logistics team did not understand the situation, and the leaders of the cluster expressed their opinions.

"I don't know, maybe it's because the enemy's decision-making level doesn't have any brains."

"To win a war, it is often inseparable from intelligence, but after fighting for so long, I haven't seen them have any intelligence acquisition behavior......

Considering that the enemy will take targeted defense because of their attack methods, the leaping creatures pay special attention to the leakage of their own intelligence, be vigilant against being targeted, and often formulate dozens of countermeasures before the war.

However, along the way, the gatherers have not used these schemes, and they have always been raided and then destroyed, and the enemy is completely vulnerable to their attacks.

This victory even felt false to the gatherers, a deliberate trap set by the enemy.

"Will there be fraud?"

The gatherers of the logistics team naturally thought of this.

"It's uncertain, so we deliberately set aside some star systems as buffer zones that we didn't occupy, and we didn't dare to continue to advance and expand the results."

If it weren't for the fear that it would be a trap, the cluster leader would have been eager to lay down a few more star systems, which are all real material resources, and there is still no long delay in achieving material circulation between various star systems.

After communicating the information that should be communicated, the logistics team will also send all the supplies and ask the leaping creatures.

"Is there any message you want me to bring back?"

When asked like this, the cluster leader thought about it and answered.

"Next time, it is enough to bring antimatter alone, and other strategic resources can be processed in the star system where the new empire is located, and we must learn to save load."

"Understood."

Things like black hole bombs, sub-light cannonballs, etc., all require antimatter as raw materials, and in the star system where the new empire is located, there are not many antimatter giants, so the cluster leader proposed this.

The leader of the cluster thought of one more thing and commanded.

"Also, remember to urge them when you go back, with the gravitational ring, we don't have so many scruples."

"Huh? Urging again? ”

"What's wrong?" The cluster leader asked.

"I've already been urged by my fellow clansmen before, and they're speeding up over there......"

Before he could speak, he was interrupted by the leader of the group.

"Then urge again, if you can improve, you can improve, this is no conflict."

"Oh."
