A sea of stars.

Perhaps most civilizations only know about the interaction between groups of galaxies, or between clusters of galaxies, or between clusters of galaxies, where space turbulence rages everywhere.

But very few civilizations know about it.

In the Void Star Sea, there is more than just spatial turbulence.

At the same time, there are spatial faults.

As for what a spatial fault is, it is a space that is completely cut off from the outside.

In some ways, it's related to the small universe in some of the fantasy works of human beings...

It's very similar.

Inside the fault, you don't have to worry about the turbulence of the space outside.

The most important thing is that if you don't know the specific coordinates of entry, then you can't say enter this fault, even if you want to find the existence of this fault, it is impossible.

And often the entrances to the space faults are very small, and can only accommodate dozens of warships entering and exiting at the same time.

As a result, even if you know where the entrance to the fault is, unless you are strong enough, it will be very difficult to take it down.

After all, the space inside the fault is large, very large.

In the internal civilization, it is completely possible to use tens or millions of warships to gather fire when you are on the defensive, and each wave is only a few dozen warships.

Therefore, the spatial fault is not only a safe haven for hunter civilization, but also an excellent stronghold that is easy to defend and difficult to attack.

------

At this moment, it is about 300 light-years away from the location where Genesis arrived.

There is a fault with an internal space diameter of 3 light years, and although there are no planets within the fault, there are also a large number of starry continents.

On one of the man-made continents about 3,000 kilometers long, several old men are arguing.

Their bodies are very different from humans, and they are not bipedal humanoids, but quadruped reptiles.

Although, their heads are very similar to those of humans...

"What now?"

"What else can we do, it's a big deal, we will defend it, they want to attack it, it's impossible not to leave a few million warships!"

"That's right, even if they are a large tribe, they can't afford to lose millions of warships."

"I also agree, if you want to annex us, you also need to see if your teeth are sharp enough."

......

Several people said indignantly.

Just three years ago, their tribe suffered heavy losses, and the fact that there were only more than 200,000 warships left was somehow known to another large tribe.

Subsequently, the large tribe wanted to annex them, and even sent messengers to threaten them several times.

And a few days ago, the so-called ultimatum was issued to them.

If they do not surrender voluntarily, the large tribe will send a large army to attack, and even claim that all males in the tribe will be killed if captured.

Obviously, this large tribe is no longer ready to drag on, and it is even more imperative to annex their medium-sized tribe.

However, it has also been said before.

It's not an easy thing to do if you want to break down the fault.

Although the warships of this large tribe were stronger, the number of warships was dozens of times that of them.

But if you want to succeed in attacking, I'm afraid you have to leave at least three or four million warships.

This is also an unacceptable loss for the large tribe itself.

After all, in this sea of void stars spanning tens of millions of light years, there is more than such a large tribe.

If they lose a few million ships, they will not be able to bear it either.

Therefore, at this moment, several old men are not very afraid of this so-called ultimatum, and they are clamoring to fight if they want to fight, we are not afraid!

At this moment, a four-legged creep covered in armor broke directly into the room.

"Bastard, who let you in?"

"Elders, there's really an emergency, I have to break in!"

In the face of the elder's angry shouting, although the guard was a little scared, he still stubbornly said.

"Huh? What's wrong? ”

"Elders, out of the 17 trade fleets we went out, five of them lost contact just now!"

"What!

！ ”

Hearing this, all the elders couldn't sit still.

To survive in the Void Star Sea, on the one hand, it depends on raiding, and on the other hand, it depends on trade with each other.

After all, although there are resources in the fault, not to mention the lack of resources, there are very few types.

Moreover, even if you can get some materials through looting, you can't just get the materials you need every time you loot.

Therefore, trade between tribes is very important.

"Have you found out who did it?"

"No, the other party is very cautious and cuts off the communication before each move."

Shaking his head, the guard replied.

At this time, the other elders could no longer sit still.

Guess what, it must be the Avi tribe, this group of damned guys, who dare to openly violate the treaty!

"Third child, be cautious, we don't have any evidence!"

"What more evidence do you need, there is no other possibility than them!"

"Of course, we need evidence, otherwise we can't speak through a coexistence treaty."

......

Hearing this, the third child was silent.

That's right, although there is indeed such a so-called coexistence pact between the raiders in this area.

The general idea is that under no circumstances should you attack the survival trade ships of other tribes.

After all, once someone opens this hole, then the other raiders will do the same, and in the end, no one will be pleased.

So, the Coexistence Pact appeared.

According to the terms of the treaty, if any tribe attacks the survival trading ships of other tribes, all the tribes in the area will unite to attack them until the tribe is completely destroyed.

Therefore, even those large tribes did not dare to do such a thing.

After all, annexation between clans is a normal thing.

And who of every tribe, especially the large ones, is not only trying to find a way, but even an excuse to annex other tribes?

So...

No matter which large tribe did this, it was only stone-hammered.

Then all the other tribes will inevitably follow this excuse and attack it en masse.

But only if...

You have to hammer it!

！

That's why, the second elder said that without evidence, there is no way to take the Awei tribe.

"What then?"

"Just watching them do it?"

"If we can't trade with other tribes, even if we can hold this fault, it's pointless!

”

yes, that's the most important question.

Although the rest of the elders were not as impulsive as the three elders, they also agreed with this conclusion.

But what can they do?

Send a fleet to escort it?

No, that should be the true purpose of the Avi tribe.

Force us to send out the only fleets we have, and then wipe them out beyond the fault.

Only in this way will they be able to completely annex us at the lowest cost.

The hearts of the people were full of irritability.

However...

But they don't know.

The Avi tribe did think of this, but they didn't.

After all, they are also afraid that if any evidence is obtained...

That would definitely usher in a joint crusade of all the tribes.

This risk...

It's too big.

So, the attackers were not the Awei tribe, but...
