The three cosmic-level civilizations soon tasted the evil consequences of not being in harmony with each other and daring to engage in infighting even when they had a common enemy!

It has absorbed some of the scientific and technological essence of the three cosmic-level civilizations, and the changes brought to the ancient civilizations are extremely huge, and the effect is also extremely obvious when reflected on the battlefield.

In the military combat exercises conducted by the ancient civilizations themselves, the strength of one ship is higher than that of the previous two ships, and if the old and new combat fleets are mixed with each other, the new fleet of the same scale can compete with the old combat fleet of the same size by more than five times the strength of the old combat fleet of the same scale.

And if the new fleet unilaterally joins a part of the army of infected souls commanded by the souls of the ancient civilization to participate in the battle, there will be no pressure at all to casually destroy an old fleet thirty or fifty times larger!

The complete transformation of the strength of the combat force indicates that the frontal combat capability of the ancient civilization has completely surpassed the three cosmic-level civilizations, and the fleets of the three cosmic-level civilizations have been able to rely on advanced technological strength to gain the upper hand in the battle with the ancient civilizations, but now, after the fleets of the ancient civilizations have made up for the shortcomings of science and technology, with the combat assistance of the soul body army of the ancient civilizations, the combat troops of the same size of the three cosmic-level civilizations can only be slaughtered by the ancient civilizations!

As the ancient civilization confirmed that its own combat forces had been able to ensure the upper hand in fleet operations, the ancient civilization soon launched a new round of attacks on the three cosmic-level civilizations.

Compared with the all-out attack of the previous infiltration operations, this time after having a combat advantage over the three cosmic-level civilizations, the ancient civilizations were divided into priorities.

For the two cosmic-level civilizations, the ancient civilizations only partially had to contact them and launched low-intensity friction operations, mainly to play a certain role in containment, to ensure that these two cosmic-level civilizations would not be separated from the war, so as not to play behind them in the war, which would be detrimental to the ancient civilizations.

Now maintain a certain amount of friction and conflict with these two cosmic-level civilizations, these two cosmic-level civilizations have their own troubles, so they will not pay too much attention to the actual situation of the battlefield between the ancient civilization and the third-party civilization, which is obviously very conducive to the expansion of the ancient civilization, and the main force will attack this third cosmic-level civilization!

However, although the ancient civilization fought a main and two secondary, tendentious land expansion wars, but because of the rapid development of the combat forces of the ancient civilization, the two cosmic-level civilizations that were selected by the ancient civilization as the flank attack direction still felt great war pressure.

The combat forces of the ancient civilizations faced by these two cosmic-level civilizations are not only relatively small in number, but also relatively unimaginative in terms of combat mode, which is the usual combat attack direction of the ancient civilization, the direction of the wormhole channel!

But what shocked these two cosmic-level civilizations was that the ancient civilizations that had been dormant for decades were now showing their skills and immediately showed completely different combat capabilities from the usual.

These two cosmic-level civilizations have not made much progress in the past few decades, except for large-scale changes to some of the core components of the shipborne soul body detection equipment, and some of the built-in programs of the equipment, which have completely solved the hidden dangers of these shipborne version of the soul body detection equipment, there is basically no big change in the wormhole channel defense line.

Each wormhole passage still maintains the original defense system, and there are millions of combat fleet ships stationed near the wormhole, and in the eyes of the three cosmic-level civilizations, such an overall defense force, supplemented by a large number of fixed space defense facilities on the battlefield, auxiliary combat equipment, etc., is enough to deal with the conventional offensive actions of the ancient civilizations.

If the combat fleets of the ancient civilizations exceed the expected response limit, the three cosmic-level civilizations have sufficient reserves of warship troops, whether it is the temporary transfer of troops within the star field or the emergency recruitment from other core star fields, it is generally completely sufficient to deal with the situation.

This time, because the ancient civilization chose to choose these two cosmic-level civilizations as the side battlefield, they were not prepared to make too much movement among these two cosmic-level civilizations from the beginning, so the scale of the ancient civilization battle fleet that the part of the wormhole passage that was attacked was not too huge, it was just the routine operation of the ancient civilization, and the combat ships in each battlefield were only about 10 million, which was more than the number of garrison troops of these two cosmic-level civilizations.

It is precisely because the number of combat ships dispatched by the ancient civilization at the beginning is limited, so the various wormhole passage troops who have not realized that the strength of the combat fleet of the ancient civilization has changed from what it used to be, thinking that they can easily deal with the harassment and combat of the ancient civilization.

After all, although the number of warships of the ancient civilization is slightly more than that of their defense troops, the wormhole defense troops have an all-round advantage around their own station, such as a comprehensive radar monitoring system on the battlefield, a space defense base, etc., these wormhole auxiliary combat systems are extremely strong for the combat power of the entire combat force, and it is conservatively estimated that they can easily increase the combat power of the combat force by more than double.

So don't look at the relatively small number of combat units and ships of the cosmic-level civilization on the surface, but according to past experience, the combat troops of the ancient civilization will only sacrifice countless times more!

At the beginning of the war, the wormhole defense troops of the cosmic-level civilization went to the battlefield in a relatively relaxed mood, judging by the previous battle examples, even if the ancient civilization fleet did not retreat and fought to the end at the cost of annihilating the whole army, the battle loss ratio of the wormhole channel side would only be suppressed below five percent.

However, after the two forces really began to fight, the situation of the enemy on the battlefield obviously exceeded the psychological expectations of the combat troops of the cosmic-level civilization.

Judging from the scientific and technological content, combat performance, and actual combat ability of combat ships alone, the combat ships of the ancient civilization today are not inferior to the ships of the cosmic-level civilization, and perhaps the warships of the ancient civilization are actually slightly weaker, but from the perspective of perceptual cognition, the combatants of the cosmic-level civilization can no longer feel any obvious differences.

From the perspective of actual combat experience, although the troops of the cosmic-level civilization have the support of the wormhole passage defense system and have exerted more than twice the strength of their own combat forces, the fleets of the two sides have only clashed, and it is already the fleets of the cosmic-level civilization that have obviously fallen into the disadvantage!

Because the helper of the cosmic-level civilization fleet, the help of the wormhole passage defense system is often auxiliary and side-helping, while the auxiliary combat force on the side of the ancient civilization is a large-scale infected soul body combat force that directly participates in the battle.

This is something that has never been done before, and the changes it has brought are incomparably greater.

In the past, although the combat troops of the ancient civilization occasionally had an army of ancient civilization souls and infected souls participating in the combat process, those past battles were completely different from this time.

The essence of any of the battles with the fleet of ancient civilizations in which the soul bodies of ancient civilizations participated in them was to fight separately, and there was not much cooperation between the soul bodies of ancient civilizations and the ships of warships, not to mention that the two sides fought separately, in fact, the number of times that the souls of ancient civilizations participated in the battles was not much.

This is because the combat power of the combat ships belonging to the ancient civilization was too weak, and the self-protection ability on the battlefield was too poor, and the soul body of the ancient civilization had to take a huge risk if it participated in the battle of the fleet of the ancient civilization, so generally speaking, the soul body of the ancient civilization would not easily cooperate with the fleet of the ancient civilization to fight.

After all, the number of soul body members of the ancient civilization is limited, and the speed of reproduction has not been able to be raised, not to mention, from time to time due to various unexpected reasons, there will be a part of the soul body that dies, and there are too many accident factors on the battlefield, if it is not too important battles or important war actions, the soul body of the ancient civilization is naturally rarely involved in war operations.

And now, because of the great breakthrough in scientific and technological strength, the combat ships of the ancient civilization are no longer weak compared to the cosmic-level civilization, and the safety of the soul body of the ancient civilization when it joins the war has a certain guarantee, so the ancient civilization has formulated a new system, and the soul body of the ancient civilization has been generally included in the combat force for the first time.

In this battle, the ancient civilization side can be said to have enabled an unprecedented combat coordination mode, and in each combat battlefield, the ancient civilization fleet is accompanied by more than several ancient civilization soul bodies, as well as an army of infected soul bodies directly under their command.

This is a new type of combat mode that is directly incorporated into the construction of the army as a formal combat configuration, although the soul body of the ancient civilization is still not directly involved in the war, but stays in different combat command ships, and remotely controls the infected army to participate in the combat battle. However, in this new mode of warfare, the soul body of the ancient civilization established contact with the command system of the combat fleet of the ancient civilization for the first time through liaison personnel, and the two sides could cooperate tacitly to make up for the operational loopholes on the battlefield and jointly launch a strike against the enemy, which can be said to be an unprecedented thing, and the influence on the war is also unusually huge.

Before this official battle with the three cosmic-level civilizations began, the ancient civilizations had already conducted many adaptive training on the new combat mode, so that the cooperation between the ancient civilization's combat fleet and the army of infected souls formed an unprecedented tacit understanding.

And now the result of actual combat is that the combat fleets of the cosmic-level civilization side often encounter unprecedented setbacks when they are fighting against the ships of the ancient civilization side on the battlefield, and a large number of ships have quickly appeared in various situations.

You must know that under the new cooperative combat mode, the ancient civilization can be said to have launched two different dimensions on the battlefield at the same time, and on the visible side of the universe-level civilization, a large number of ancient civilization warships are charging into battle.

But on the side that cosmic-level civilizations can't see, every ancient civilization ship has a special vehicle, which is loaded with a large number of infected soul bodies, and these infected soul bodies move with the ancient civilization combat ships in the void, some of them continue to get off the ship, and they are all over the battlefield, and the other part of the infected soul bodies move with the ship, and then quickly get off the ship after approaching the combat ships of some cosmic-level civilizations, quickly get closer to the ships of the cosmic-level civilization, and try to infiltrate the interior of their ships!

In this way, in addition to the frontal battlefield, the ships of the cosmic-level civilization will also face the invasion of almost ubiquitous infected soul bodies! This increase in the level of danger is not as simple as doubling or two, it is simply a terrifying feeling.

You must know that when fighting against the ancient civilization fleet, the three cosmic-level civilizations all start semi-artificial and semi-intelligent control ships, because only such ships are the safest in the face of the ancient civilization fleet, and they will not easily cause the entire ship to be defeated out of thin air because of the outbreak of the soul virus within the crew.

For such a ship, the combat personnel inside each ship are generally only about three or five, and the other people who are responsible for various operations on the ship are intelligent robot crews.

As a result, the work of the command staff of the cosmic-level civilization combat ship is relatively intense, and they can cope with the challenge of a frontal combat ship, which has consumed the vast majority of the energy of the crew inside the battleship.

However, the current situation is that in addition to facing the ships of the ancient civilization fighting head-on, the crew of the cosmic-level civilization also needs to constantly deal with the threat of infected soul bodies, which is inevitably too difficult to fight!

It must be known that in previous wars, when the cosmic-level civilization side needed to deal with the challenge of the infected soul body, it was very small, and in similar battles, the reason why the cosmic-level civilization fleet was able to win was largely because there were two major factors playing a role together.

One is that there is a soul detection device that acts as an eye and ear, which allows the crew inside the battleship to find the target in time, so as to destroy these infected souls, so as not to affect the outcome of the war.

The other is that in similar wars, the fleets of cosmic-level civilizations often have absolute superiority. In this case, once the cosmic-level civilization fleet discovers the appearance of an army of infected soul bodies, it can quickly call friends and gather the strength of a large number of fleets to wipe out these infected soul troops!
