Colonized planet No. 35 ——— New Shanxi.

Standing in front of the porthole, Li Longcheng faintly looked out the window at the ruins of the destroyed colony——— which was the trace of the first time humans fought with the Turks, their colony was attacked by the Turks and occupied, and then the Star Alliance counterattacked and recaptured the colonial planet from the Turks.

And now, it is still a dilapidated scene, and the once vigorous reclamation and construction have completely disappeared at this moment. In order to escape the terrible alien invaders, most of them fled back to their home planet. Because of this, the colony, which was usually bustling with activity, has now become a ghost town, and all this is due to an invasion, an attack from an alien race.

"Look here."

Li Longcheng pointed out the window.

"This is the humiliation that those barbarians have brought upon us, and we will never surrender."

"But that guy John doesn't think so."

Hearing Li Longcheng's words, an old man sitting next to him smiled.

"They have long been accustomed to groveling and have no understanding of what a unified civilization needs, and it is no wonder that since the collapse of the Roman Empire, it has always been a chaotic battlefield."

"That's right."

Li Longcheng nodded, as the representative of the main battle faction of the Star Alliance, he has always been under a lot of pressure.

Especially since the discovery of extraterrestrial forces, they finally abandoned the restrictions between countries and formed a unified star alliance of human civilizations.

But on many issues, Mr. Lee felt that he was out of step with his Western counterparts.

Just like this time.

Without warning, the Turks attacked their fleet, raiding their colonies. Li Longcheng, as a representative, resolutely demanded that a war be waged against him and that it would be painful. After all, the long history of their civilization has already told Li Longcheng that in the face of the invasion of the barbarians, there is no other way to go except to fight hard.

However, the group of Western representatives does not see it that way, they do not value human dignity, but only good. In their eyes, the war with the aliens is an opportunity, and they can use this platform to make the Star Alliance leap to become the number one force in the entire galaxy.

This is not surprising to Li Longcheng, after all, the West has always been like this, and when they want to integrate into a certain circle, any humiliation and loss is worth it. It's like a rich man who wants to be a nobleman. However, this is obviously at odds with his thinking. However, as far as the group of whiteskins is concerned, they obviously don't care about their losses.

In their opinion, taking the initiative to show friendship can make these aliens have a good impression of humanity and thus join the other party's camp. However, in Li Longcheng's view, even if he wants to negotiate peace, he must be begged by the other party, so that he can gain the initiative.

Of course, it's not that they don't understand this truth, and the reason why they don't do it is also very clear to Li Longcheng.

Xinshanxi is the territory of the Asian League to which Li Longcheng belongs, not the colonial planet of the Lord Peace faction, so for that group of whites, this is not their loss, so they are not distressed, and they may even celebrate in secret. That's why they use the excuse of "for the sake of all mankind" to coerce the Asian League to swallow this breath, and even hope that by taking this opportunity, the influence of the Asian League will be greatly weakened.

But it was different for Li Longcheng, although the human race formed a unified star alliance. However, there are still factional disputes within the country, and the struggle between the Asian League and NATO has not stopped. At present, the power of the Asian Union is damaged, but NATO wants to take the opportunity to ascend to power, and the political ......... It's always a headache.

But it also takes courage to persist in war.

Because they are not only facing the Turks, but also the allies behind the Turks——— Citadel Council.

Just a few days ago, the Citadel Council sent representatives to the Star Alliance, and they showed humanity a picture completely beyond their imagination——— a combination of more than a dozen powerful alien races in the vast galaxy, and they came here to mediate, and hoped that the Star Alliance would also be represented by humans.

Faced with this invitation, the Lord and the faction were overjoyed, but Li Longcheng's face was gloomy. He knew very well that the representatives of the Citadel Council were not mediating, but threatening——— if the Star Federation really wanted to reject the proposal of the Citadel Council, then it meant that they would completely tear their faces into war with the huge forces composed of more than a dozen alien races.

Is it worth it?

The Lord and the faction keep talking about the survival of mankind, but what is the survival of mankind?

To live like a beggar? Or die like a hero?

Without dignity, what is the value of human beings in this universe? Is it just a simple begging?

Dignity does not come without a price.

But once the war starts, the destruction of life is imminent.

The Lord and the faction questioned Li Longcheng more than once.

Is it worth it to go to war for ethereal dignity and let humanity die in the midst of war?

Is it worth it?

This question is really funny in Li Longcheng's opinion.

Of course it's worth it.

A unified civilization has never been polite, iron and blood are its fuel. If there is no strong enemy to resist the outside, how can we talk about prosperity?

If they can't hurt each other, how can they know how to respect humans?

The carrier-based plane landed steadily on the ground, and Li Longcheng withdrew his gaze and stood up.

This time, he is not here just for the past, but for the future.

The future of humanity.

"Order the fleet to stand by above."

"Yes."

However, Li Longcheng didn't see it, and not long after he walked into the base, the fleet that was hovering outside the planet left quietly.

And all this, of course, can't escape Duanmu Huai's eyes.

"Look, that's stupid."

Duanmu Huai looked at the screen in front of him and pursed his lips.

"The great enemy of mankind is now, but they are still fighting in the nest?"

"Why do you have to start a war...............

Eclair sighed helplessly, and Duanmu Huai glanced at her.

"In order to tell others that you are not easy to mess with, whether it is a country, a civilization or a person, it is the same, or the next time someone harasses you, you should not fight back but wash yourself in vain and take the initiative to send it to the door?"

"Uh..............."

Hearing Duanmu Huai's answer, Eclell was speechless.

"It's not the same thing.........

"That's the same thing, think about it, other people's target is just your body, if you resist, it will kill you, then you just lie still and let the other party enjoy it? Why risk your life for the sake of your senseless dignity? ”

"Uh......... This ........."

Sweating profusely, Elclere didn't know how to refute it, and in the end, she chose to raise her hand and surrender.

"Well, I was wrong."

"However, no matter how powerful this civilization is, it is impossible to defeat so many alien races."

An also raised her own questions, as a royal daughter, although there is a big difference in science and technology civilization, but when it comes to the political level, there will not be much change in a few thousand years.

"Indeed, it is unrealistic to want to completely eradicate it, especially in the current state of this civilization. But the problem is that they have to hurt each other, and only then will they know that humans are not easy to mess with, and they are not an echo worm that says whatever you say. In this regard, a resolute attitude and firm will are necessary. ”

Duanmu Huai stared at the picture silently, the second reason why he chose to intervene was that Duanmu Huai wanted to cooperate with this civilization. After all, whether it was the Guardian civilization or the UNSC before, they all belonged to the kind that couldn't take care of themselves when they were too busy to take care of themselves, on the contrary, the Star Alliance not only had a developed level of science and technology, but also had online military capabilities, and if they could cooperate with them, the natural benefits would be much stronger than other civilizations.

The only problem is that there are stupid bureaucrats who are no different from the Southern Song Dynasty......... It depends on whether it can be saved this time.

Just as the group was discussing, suddenly, I saw a warship quietly drill out from the dark depths of the universe, it stopped at the edge of the planet, and then saw several transport planes emerge from it and fly in the direction of the colonial base.

The dilapidated colonial base seemed to be unaware of the arrival of these transport planes, only to see these transport planes stop not far from the colonial base, and then the hatch opened, and then a team of alien aliens wearing cosmic armor and holding weapons walked out of it. They have green skin, locust-like heads, and four eyes.

"Batare, well, that's not surprising."

Seeing this, Duanmu Huai snorted coldly, he still knew a lot about the race of this alien alliance. In this alien alliance, Asari, Salari, and Turui are the "permanent members" and have the greatest power over the entire alliance council. Asari is good at resolving political disputes, Celeri is good at scientific research, and Turi is a military expert.

Among the other races, the most unpopular is the Batare, this is a cosmic rogue race, when it comes to the Batare, everyone's first impression is criminals——— well, the only one with a worse reputation than them is Wocha.

In fact, in the game, most of the attacks on the human frontier are also criminals funded by the Batare. Moreover, the Batarui actually hate humans, so their appearance here is not surprising to Duanmu Huai.

Duanmu Huai could even be sure that behind this mission must have been the acquiescence and support of the representatives of the three major races of the Divine Citadel Council, but it was a pity that no one from the three major races came forward this time, otherwise he would have been able to seize this point and make the three major races bleed.

But Batare......... Better than nothing.

Thinking of this, Duanmu Huai cleaned up the outfit in his hand.

"Alright, guys, let's go."
