Chapter 94 A small battle

"...Is this a war between lost empires?" Braining looked at the galaxy where the war was breaking out, with an indescribable expression in his eyes.

The heavy rain brewing in the dark clouds finally broke out into a thunderstorm.

The place where the two lost empires first clashed was in the home galaxy of the "Stone Man Civilization".

Regarding this civilization that threatened to make them "all bow down," the "Watchers" and "Farstriders" coincidentally sent a small fleet to see how he was going to make them bow down.

So the two lost empires started fighting in the galaxy.

The poor little toothpick fleet of the "Stone Man Civilization" was swept away as rubbish in the chaotic battlefield. The star base that declared the sovereignty of the galaxy also kept changing hands in the crossfire, but it did not return to the hands of the Stone Man.

The only thing they are lucky about now is that their home planet is still far away from the battlefield, so there probably won't be a few deflected beams of light coming straight towards them.

At first, only two small fleets from the Lost Empire came here, which was a small formation made up of a few frigates and a battlecruiser looking for a show.

However, after the exchange of fire between the two fleets, they began to shake people, which quickly led to the escalation of the fighting situation here.

Originally regarded as a key galaxy by the "Watchers" and "Farstriders", the place where a frontal battle might break out turned out to be unexpectedly calm.

And their fleets are constantly jumping to the edge of the Milky Way, the home galaxy of the "Stone Man Civilization" to fight.

As both lost empires, they naturally have ways to guard against sudden sneak attacks by "jump engines". Every galaxy they control has at least one "superlight suppressor" installed.

The most significant function of this equipment is to disrupt the "consistent time and space" required for the "jump engine" to jump, so that foreign enemies cannot use this elusive method to directly reach their core areas.

Even if you use the "jump engine", you can only get close to their border. After that, you still have to rely on normal hyperspace navigation to enter their galaxy.

However, in this way, the threat will be greatly reduced, and they will have enough time to respond to hostile actions.

It's just that no war occurred on the expected frontal battlefield. Instead, a large-scale battle broke out in an unknown place.

"...There are more and more, right? Are the 'Watchers' and the 'Farstriders' planning to show off right there?" Branin's men also looked at the pictures on the electronic screen, those overwhelming fleets.

, showing an incredible expression.

Where the war between the two lost empires broke out, even the most daring adventurers did not dare to go in and take secret photos. Each civilization could only use their own observation methods to find out.

However, the picture formed by this method is not as clear as the first-hand source. There are always interstellar billionaires who are funding bounties for death squads that can provide real-time live broadcasts.

No one has taken up this job yet, but even the blurry picture is enough to distinguish the number of these huge fleets.

Many civilizations calculated the size of the fleets participating in this war, and then compared their own strengths, and then sadly discovered that just a small battle that broke out here was enough to bulldoze them.

At this time, the fleets that arrived in the home system of the "Stone Man Civilization" already numbered in the hundreds on both sides, and even the Titans had joined in. It was difficult to say whether what was breaking out here was still a "small battle."

The "Watcher" fleet, which mainly uses psychic powers, seems to be unimaginably powerful in the war.

The shields they enhanced with psychic energy and Zero have far stronger protective power than normal civilizations, and even the "Far Travelers" are slightly inferior in this regard.

Under the bombardment of countless battleships, the "Far Traveler" fleet, which had a slightly weaker defense, obviously suffered greater losses.

But "Far Traveler" also has advantages over "Watcher".

Because they despise "robots", the "Watcher" fleet does not use ship combat AI. They are actually controlled by powerful psychics.

But the "Far Traveler" has conducted in-depth research on unmanned combat. Each of their warships is equipped with "intelligent combat AI", a highly efficient space combat fleet intelligence.

But even so, the ship losses of the "Farstrider" were much greater than those of the "Watcher".

After signing a contract with the existence in the virtual realm, the "Watcher"'s combat strength has risen a huge level.

The unique combat equipment "Precognition Interface" developed by them after in-depth research in the field of psychic energy can predict the future to a certain extent. Although it is not accurate and the time is very short, it also greatly reduces their losses.

After investing the same number of fleets, the "Farstrider" fleet in this system has shown a decline.

It is hard to imagine that the two sides who were evenly matched in ancient times would decide the winner so soon. As a last resort, the "Far Traveler" who was in a passive situation could only take the lead in responding.

They directly launched an attack on the homeland of the "Watchers". A large number of warships jumped to the border position, and then headed for the "Watchers" space fortress, aiming to be the first to gain a foothold.

For these two lost empires, infiltration has very little effect, and only frontal war is the most important.

The unique psychic sensing of "Watchers" can detect any spies, thereby preventing infiltration from breaking out on the planet.

The "Farstriders" also have their own methods. Their cutting-edge mechanical prosthetics and lie detectors have unparalleled effectiveness in dealing with spies.

Therefore, this "Battle in Heaven" duel is actually a competition between them in terms of production capacity.

However, the "Watchers" who have signed a contract with the Void Realm now have an absurdly high production capacity. During the "calm before the storm", the fleet they assembled was much larger than that of the "Farstriders".

Therefore, after a confrontation, although the civilizations did not see anything unusual, the Far Travelers internally realized the seriousness of the situation.

"——Our intelligence is wrong? How come their fleet is replenished so quickly?" A Farstrider fleet commander looked at the battle damage report with a not-so-good expression on his face.

Having been immersed in a depraved environment for a long time, he never imagined that his first battle after waking up would be a failure.

The small battle that took place in the home system of the "Stone Man Civilization" has come to an end. In the eyes of the civilizations, it seems that they have withdrawn their troops, but in fact it was the "Farstrider" fleet commander who first issued the emergency jump order.

The "Watcher" fleet that failed to eliminate the opponent naturally left with it, but they appeared in certain galaxies with purpose, seemingly in a guerrilla state, searching for the lone "Farstrider" fleet.

After they left, the stone-man civilization thought it could breathe a sigh of relief, but it didn't expect that a large number of spaceships from other civilizations would follow.

Many of them are adventurers, but most of them are official personnel. They are constantly dismantling and transporting the remains of the fleets in this galaxy, or selling them, or trying to study the lost mysteries from them.

During this process, some friction naturally arose. The Stoneman civilization without a fleet could only wait for them to finish, and then watched helplessly as the wreckage of the warships was carried away piece by piece, leaving no one left.

After a while, the entire galaxy was like locusts passing through. Except for the planets, everything was clean. Even the asteroid belt was taken away with ulterior motives. It is hard to imagine that a war broke out here.

However, the stone people who regained control of the star base have returned to their confident appearance, and it is completely impossible to tell that they have declared war on two lost empires.

The commanders of the "Far Traveler" began to worry about the outcome of this "War in Heaven". They did not understand why their old enemy, who was once evenly matched, actually grew stronger than them after a long time.

The fleet that had tentatively attacked the "Watcher" border before had lost contact, but they had no bearing on the life or death of this fleet because it was originally used as a bait.

Finally, an intelligence agent discovered some clues from the galactic information that they regarded as garbage, and informed these high-level rulers.

"'The End of Reincarnation'? This strange space seems to have provided a powerful boost to those idealistic idiots..."

"...According to the 'Prophet' Zaklan who was removed from the list, the 'Watcher' signed a contract with this thing in exchange for an incredible blessing..."

"This is really idealistic, but if this is the case, according to the records about 'The End of Reincarnation', then they don't have much time..."

"so……"

"——Defend, as long as we delay them until they are liquidated, that will be our victory. By then, we can also use this galaxy to achieve our goals..."

These senior executives quickly made a decision and began to enter defensive mode. If they fought on their own territory, their advantages were quite obvious.

And in order to delay time, they would occasionally send out harassing fleets to roam around the galaxy, with the purpose of distracting the "Watcher" fleet.

The "Watchers" have also stepped up their offensive efforts, not only because they want to completely eliminate this old enemy that has been against them since ancient times, but also because they themselves understand the urgency of time.

During this process, a certain evil idea born deep in the heart also began to progress.

"High Priest, what is the purpose of the megastructure we recently started?" On the "Throne of Heaven", a believer asked the high priest what the megastructure near the holy place is used for.

"...It is a machine that extracts the power of the virtual realm. The cracks in the virtual realm left by the 'Apocalypse' around the holy land allow us to easily extract a huge amount of spiritual energy. With this power, we can soar into another world.

A world to catch up with the footsteps of the 'Apocalypse'."

The high priest's gentle voice seemed to calm the believers, but the eyes of the believers were still filled with strong uneasiness.

This was an inspiration given by spiritual power. Not only that, but the prophecy that Zaklan made before leaving also made him very frightened.

"...High Priest, 'Ring'..." He wanted to continue asking, but was directly interrupted by the High Priest.

"This is what the followers of the evil god use to deceive people's minds. The 'circle' is just inexplicable nonsense. Your faith is not firm enough. I will punish you by copying the Book of Revelation a hundred times."

This time the high priest's voice was very calm and made the believers tremble and leave with their heads lowered.

After there was no one in the temple, the high priest muttered something to himself in a low voice.

The powerful psychic energy blocked everyone's detection of him, so no matter what the circumstances, the psychic link could not sense what he was thinking.

But if someone is here with the body and listens with ears, they can hear that he seems to be talking to something, and the breath of that unknown existence is very similar to the virtual world.
