The Budapest's attack succeeded in scaring both the Theron and the fugitive fleet watching from afar, and a large number of Therons in the Theron flagship, who were in charge of commanding the fleet, were stunned by what they saw. They had guessed that the enemy would be strong before they came, but no matter what they thought, they didn't expect the enemy to be so strong.

The strongest combat power in their hands, the Theron Battle Fortress, which was invincible in the previous war against the human race, would actually be killed by the other party in seconds! This made them doubt the collective decisions they had made before.

Even No. 1, who was the most determined advocate of fighting, didn't know what to do at this time, and was looking at the battle situation in front of him in a daze, and even a few Theron people next to him didn't react to him.

"We can't win this battle, we must get out of here immediately......" Seeing that the No. 1 who had been leading them for as long as they could remember, a No. 3 Theron man standing in front of the main console hurriedly said.

"Then what about our deceased brothers and sisters, do you let them die in vain?" A No. 5 next to him objected, and from his expression, it could be seen that he was actually scared, after all, now that the rebirth ship was gone, they all had only this one life now.

Although these Theron people claim to be nobler than their own creators, they are still just as panicked when faced with the threat of death. Although the 1st had managed to convince them all to support and participate in the battle for an unknown purpose.

However, in just a few minutes from the beginning of the battle, they had lost nearly 10,000 of their compatriots, much more than they had lost when they were resisted during the massacre of Kobo 12 Colonial World. This shook their confidence in the leadership of No. 1.

"Stop arguing. We have to make a decision now, or we'll join them, and I propose to vote on whether or not to retreat immediately......" said a bespectacled No. 6 nervously. An 8 also chimed in.

"Enough! I'll take care of this ......" Number One, who had been in a daze just now, finally spoke, his voice was not loud, but all the nearby Theron people immediately stopped arguing violently with each other. It can be seen how strong the influence of this No. 1 is.

On the one hand, the reason why No. 1 has this influence is because he is the first model of the humanoid Theron, and more importantly, during the First Theron War many years ago, Number One and their creators created all 7 of the current 7 mass-produced Theron people, so they have a very high status in Theron society, and are often regarded as fathers and brothers by other Theron people.

Just when the Theron people were arguing and hesitating. The Budapest didn't stop working. Shen Chao continued to use the ramming tactics, and soon destroyed 2 more Theron battle fortresses, successfully destroying the opponent's firepower projection formation.

It was this turn of events that brought Number 1 out of his daze, he realized. No matter what you think. His plans have failed. The fugitive fleet has embraced the thighs of this unknown third party. It is impossible for them to defeat this unknown force and exterminate humanity with their current strength.

Thinking of this, although he was very frustrated, he still took on the leadership responsibility and immediately sent a communication request to the other party. Ten seconds later. Just as the Budapest was aiming for another target to attack, a Terron communication reached his console.

The message from the Theron flagship was brief, to the effect that they were proposing a truce and negotiations. After the truce, most of the Theron fleet will immediately withdraw from the system, leaving only a few ships to negotiate with them.

Shen Chao thought about it for a moment when he saw this, and then ordered his own fleet to cease fire and sent a message to accept the other party's ceasefire request. In this way, the first large-scale exchange of fire between the two sides came to an end. At the cost of 10 battle fortresses destroyed and 14 damaged by different courses, the Theron people figured out the huge gap in combat effectiveness between themselves and their opponents.

The ceasefire between the two fleets went more smoothly than expected, and in just 10 minutes, the warships of both sides were out of the war zone as agreed, and the Theron people quickly sent most of the warships out of the system.

The flagships of the Budapest and the Theron did not lean back like the other warships, but instead sailed together into the middle ground formed by the confrontation between the two ships for the sake of negotiations. The Pegasos, which had been left to watch the battle, also sailed nearby.

In the middle ground, the two sides identified themselves and engaged in a series of programmed exchanges. The Theron were noncommittal about Shen Chao's claim of the Earth Alliance, and they offered to send a representative to interview Shen Chao and the fugitive fleet he was protecting.

This request was exactly what Shen Chao wanted, so he naturally agreed, but he asked both the Theron and the representatives of the fugitive fleet to come to his ship for this tripartite meeting. The Theron simply agreed, and the fugitive fleet was busy here.

At the height of the battle, Admiral Kane had the Galactica jump to other galaxies with the fugitive fleet, along with Madam President. Now, they need to spend some time getting the Galactica to jump back into the system with the fugitive fleet and gather the official representatives of the fugitive fleet.

Madame President gathered a makeshift team to help her prepare for the negotiations, changing her clothes, applying makeup, and drafting the negotiation papers...... All of this was going on at the same time with the help of her assistants, all of whom came to ask for her instructions.

On the run for so long, Laura. For the first time, Ms. Rothlin felt like a real president of the 12 colonies. Although this victory was not the result of the Colonial Fleet, her sense of self-aggrandizement and the way people looked up to her made her feel like the Colonial Government had been reborn from the ashes, and she was the most important person in the organization!

With such narcissistic thoughts, she joined up with Captain Adama of the Calacica, who had also changed into a dress, and after meeting with Admiral Kane's men, they set off with a delegation of the fugitive fleet.

Shen Chao gave the two sides the quota for negotiations and entourage 20 people, so the fugitive fleet reduced its delegation as much as possible, except for Admiral Kane, Madam President and Adama, the three most powerful people in the fleet. There are also technologists like Dr. Portal.

Of course, if they had known that Dr. Portall was a well-established traitor, they might have come up with a different plan for the group. In general, most of the fugitive fleets have embarked on a negotiation journey with optimism.

On the other hand, the Theron people on the other side are a completely different picture. While the fugitive fleet was busy preparing for negotiations, a heavy memorial service was taking place in the flagship of the Therons. Death is a very heavy topic for the Theron people, who have the technology to respawn and almost never die by accident.

Today, in one day, they have lost thousands of brothers and sisters forever to fighting, which is a great loss for a Theron society with a limited population, a very flat social structure, and no fertility.

In the airport of Battlestar, 1 presided over the traditional ceremony under the watchful eyes of the other Therons. In terms of the steps of the ritual. In fact, it is similar to the burial ceremony of the remains in the fugitive fleet, which shows their cultural homology.

After presiding over the ceremony, the 1 was ready to board the shuttle to participate in the negotiations that would soon decide the fate of their race. But because there were too many doubts about today's events, he was still stopped by a few people who were overly curious.

"Wait. Before you go to the negotiations, you should at least tell me who we were fighting against, right? You said before that they could never be earthlings. But they so protected the fugitive fleet. And how do you know for sure they're not earthling? A 3 pulled them into a sparsely populated area and asked.

"You really want to know?" Well, I don't necessarily make it back alive anyway. So listen, the reason why I know that they are not earthlings is because of our creators and our parents. That is, the story that the "Ultimate Five" once told me about my earth, and they are from the earth. Their planet had been subjected to a devastating nuclear war, and they left because they could no longer survive there......"

It seems that he really believes that he is going to be lucky this time, and No. 1 does not put on his usual mysterious and mysterious appearance, but patiently explains the truth he knows. Before they were captured, someone sent a message from the Insiders they had planted in the fugitive fleet, mentioning the Earth Alliance that had appeared out of thin air.

And No. 1 knew that the so-called Earth Alliance could not exist at all. So he decided that the fugitive fleet had either encountered other remnants of the colonial military and was trying to scare them, or they had encountered an impostor third-party alien force.

Either way, it's bad news for One, who has spent decades trying to wipe out hostile humans, only to have such a big accident when he is so close to his goal.

If he didn't take the risk of meeting and negotiating with the other party, needless to say, the opportunity to exterminate the human race would be lost, so he finally decided to take the risk and concentrate all his forces to try to exterminate the remnants of the human race at once.

He had also considered the possibility that the other party was an alien force with high technology, but with the leap technology, he did not think that his adventure would pose a serious threat to the survival of the Theron people, and even now, with their fleet being abused by the other party, he was still not very worried about the future of Theron as a race.

I have to say that ignorant people are really happy sometimes. How would he feel if he knew that the combat power he witnessed today had completely exploded, and their expedition fleet was still only a half-finished fleet that had not yet formed a formal combat effectiveness. (To be continued......)

PS: First of all, thank you to "Keiji" who generously rewarded me after my update yesterday and "Jackyc" who voted for it. I've now started the second chapter.,If nothing else.,There's a second update tonight.。

In addition, I found that many familiar book friends have not come back yet, and someone reminded me in the group because they didn't know that I had changed, so this cat has a request here. If you're not too busy, can you help me push the book? Recommend it in your group or forum. I still like the atmosphere of the book review area, which gives me a lot of inspiration, and of course, the ticket......

Okay, no more nonsense, I'm going to code words
