Chapter 964: Battle Clouds Gather
Obviously, not only Yang Yi and the Yu family, but also the Star Soul Empress and the Weaver Star Clan also had no other choice. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
After the Star Soul Empress took a stand, all that remained was a matter of detail. According to the arrangement of the Star Soul Empress, Alora will be responsible for contacting and negotiating with the Yu family, and Jade Tianba will arrange for Yu Linglong to be responsible for specific matters. To put it simply, after Yang Yi made a specific request, Yu Linglong negotiated with Alora, and then the Weaving Star Clan would provide the relevant technology requested by Yang Yi to the Yu family, rather than directly to Yang Yi. The key is that the means of communication with Yang Yi are in the hands of the Yu family, and they are extremely valuable, so it is impossible to hand them over to the Weaving Star Clan. Besides, supporting the expeditionary force commanded by Yang Yi is only one of the main contents of the alliance with the Yu family.
The Star Soul Empress first withdrew from the video conference, and then Alora and Jade Linglong also withdrew.
"The situation is far more than we predicted. Among other things, we only learned until now that there is no such thing as transstellar system astronautics. Yang Yi sighed and said, "Although it is useless to talk about this now, we must make long-term plans." The news of the Weavers' technical assistance to us will definitely get out, and then everyone will know that we will never be able to return to the Southern Alpha system, and that the Galactic Alliance's expeditionary force will not be able to go to the Northern Alpha system. Perhaps the situation will not immediately get out of control, but we cannot have any illusions. As long as civil war breaks out, not only other civilizations that have expressed support and assistance to us, but even the Weavers may not be reliable. We can only rely on ourselves, and all we can do may be to leave the Southern Alpha system. ”
"Actually, what you feared has already happened."
Yang Yi was slightly stunned, and looked at Yu Tianba in surprise.
"Why do you think the Elders of the Weaving Star Clan made a decision so quickly and granted the Star Soul Empress the right to decide, leaving the Star Soul Empress in charge of cooperating with us?" Yu Tianba paused slightly before speaking, "It must be admitted that the intelligence agency of the Hidden Spirit Clan is indeed very powerful. Word spread shortly after our last contact, and based on the information we have now, it's likely that something is wrong within the Weavers. It's just that it doesn't matter anymore. Just a few days ago, a local war broke out in the western region, affecting dozens of civilizations. Although the war has been brought under control and has not caused a greater impact, the internal contradictions of the Galactic Alliance have already emerged. Several top-level civilizations can still stabilize their breath, mainly because the rumors have not been confirmed. It's just that, as you said at the beginning, as long as hope is lost, the Galactic Alliance will be gone, and we will have to rely on ourselves. ”
"You mean ......"
"Although we haven't received news yet, it's certain that several top civilizations have already started to act, otherwise the Weavers wouldn't have given an answer at this time." Yu Tianba sighed before saying, "Of course, the current situation is not too bad to be uncontrollable. In any case, the strength of the three first-class top civilizations and the four second-rate top civilizations is very strong, and it can be said that they are in between. If we tear our faces now and a full-scale war breaks out, then no one will be the winner, and the result is likely to be destruction. Besides, such a situation has never been seen in the past few thousand years, so that none of the top civilizations are ready for a full-scale civil war. In our judgment, a few top-tier civilizations will first consolidate their existing power ranges, i.e., strengthen their control over other civilizations that are dependent on them. Next, they will find ways to weaken their main rivals, the other top civilizations, and the most effective way to do this is to win over the ordinary civilizations that are attached to the other top civilizations. Obviously, this is the basis for the Weavers to work with us. Only after these two phases have been completed, that is, the spheres of influence of several top civilizations have been roughly determined, and it is impossible to weaken competitors and enhance their own strength through conventional means, it is the turn of extreme means, that is, to attack opponents through war. ”
Yang Yi nodded slightly, indicating that he understood what Yu Tianba meant.
"Obviously, we still have some time, but no one knows how much time we have left." Yu Tianba smiled reluctantly before saying, "From my personal point of view, a civil war will not break out immediately, even after the spheres of influence of several top-level civilizations have basically stabilized. Quite simply, as long as the Star Soul Empress and they have not completely lost their minds, they should know that before they find a way out, civil war will only lead to the destruction of our only and irreplaceable homeland. Although the pressure of survival will eventually force the top civilizations to choose to take risks, for thousands of years, the Galactic Alliance has been fighting but not breaking, so the contradictions formed in a short period of time are not enough for everyone to fight. To put it simply, we will try our best to maintain peace and stability and buy more time. ”
"It's just that you have to be mentally prepared for the worst."
Yu Tianba nodded and said, "Actually, the biggest uncertainty factor is the four second-rate top civilizations, because they support us, in fact, to a large extent, they hope to change the current pattern of the Galactic Alliance through you. When this hope is dashed and civil war is inevitable, then they are likely to act directly, simply at a time when they have a certain advantage. ”
"Advantage?"
"Obviously, the time advantage is in the hands of three first-class top civilizations."
Yang Yi frowned, thinking seriously about Yu Tianba's words.
"Among the four second-rate top civilizations, only the Extreme Realm Clan can be regarded as dominant, and the conditions of the Southern Region under its control are not ideal, far inferior to the Central Region. More importantly, the contradiction between the four second-rate top-level civilizations and the three first-rate top-level civilizations is extremely acute. Don't forget, the three first-class top civilizations were originally a family. If war is inevitable, then it is very likely that the three first-rate top-tier civilizations will join forces to eradicate the four second-rate top-tier civilizations first, and then fight each other. Yu Tianba let out a long sigh before saying, "According to our analysis, this situation is extremely likely. From another perspective, the four second-rate top civilizations also have such concerns. Because fighting alone is not the opponent of a first-class top-level civilization at all, and the contradictions with the first-class top-level civilization are irreconcilable, they still rose up together to resist at the beginning, so as long as such a judgment is made, it is very likely that the four second-rate top-level civilizations will unite first and concentrate their forces to eliminate a first-class top-level civilization, such as the most threatening Weaver Clan, or the most aggressive Lei Ling Clan. Even if you can't kill three first-class top-level civilizations in one fell swoop, you can change the balance of power by defeating one of them, forcing the other two first-class top-level civilizations to compromise, even if it's only temporary. It was clear that if four second-rate top civilizations wanted to survive, this was the only way to work. ”
"The problem is, we can't do anything."
Yu Tianba shook his head with a wry smile and said, "Before that, I asked Linglong to find Queen Renhui, but there is no follow-up until now. ”
Yang Yi was slightly stunned, and looked at Yu Tianba incomprehensibly.
"As I said at the beginning, what we can do now is try to maintain peace and stability and buy more time. Among the four second-rate top civilizations, although the Kunyang clan has always been the leader, it is the Extreme Realm clan that really holds the dominant power. If you can stabilize the Extreme Realm Clan, you will also be able to stabilize the four second-rate top civilizations. It's a pity that we obviously overestimate Queen Renhui's influence among the four second-rate top civilizations. As I meant, Linglong proposed to Queen Renhui that she would like to maintain the alliance, and said that as long as the current situation continues, we are willing to share all the gains with the Extreme Realm, mainly the news of your presence in the Northern Alpha System. Unfortunately, Queen Renhui has not given us a clear answer so far, nor has she given an explanation on whether or not to continue the alliance. ”
Yang Yi sighed before he said, "Perhaps, it's just that the four second-rate top-level civilizations haven't reached an agreement yet. ”
"Obviously, that's where we're worried."
"You mean ......"
"If the four second-rate top civilizations have come to an agreement, then it's okay to say. It is naturally a good thing to be able to coexist peacefully. Even if we can't live in peace, we know who the enemy is, so we can take action in time. The problem is that if there is a disagreement within the four second-rate top civilizations, we cannot act rashly. When the time comes, the war breaks out suddenly, and the consequences are difficult to imagine. Yu Tianba smiled bitterly and sighed before saying, "According to our analysis, if a war breaks out suddenly, then all the civilizations of the Galactic Alliance, including the three first-class top civilizations, will take action for their own interests, especially survival, that is, send troops to participate in the war. When tens of thousands of legions of civilization are involved in this civil war at the same time, the scope of the impact and the consequences are unpredictable. What's more, for almost all civilizations, this is a war that cannot afford to lose, and defeat means destruction. Then for civilizations that have no hope of becoming the final winner, and whose survival is not even guaranteed, destroying everything they have before defeat and leaving the enemy with nothing to gain is the only option. As long as a part of civilization develops this realization, then the Southern Alpha system will be destroyed before this war is over. Obviously, no civilization, including us, was able to hold out until the moment when the war ended. ”
"Is there nothing we can do?"
"Perhaps, the only way is to strengthen the alliance with the Starweavers and speed up the preparations for war." Yu Tianba paused for a moment before saying, "It's just that these methods won't have substantial results in the end, so our hope is still you." ”
Yang Yi frowned, and his expression was very ugly.
"To put it bluntly, leaving the Southern Alpha System may be our only way out." Saying this, Yu Tianba closed his mouth.
Obviously, after so many detours, this is what Yu Tianba wants to say.
Yang Yi let out a long breath, and he didn't know what to say. (To be continued.) )
