"We...we were lied to?"

"Yes, it is."

I heard the commander of the Krupp Civilization Council trembling and asking with a touch of despair.

The adjutant swallowed his saliva and nodded in response.

Immediately, the adjutant heard the commander's lung-splitting yell.

"We were deceived. We were deceived so miserably!"

"Ahhh!"

The commander vented for a while and finally regained his senses. He quickly held a meeting and started discussing with others.

Although everyone is confused and doesn't know why such a thing happens.

But everyone understands that things have happened. No matter how angry they are or how they refuse to believe it, the facts are the facts!

All they have to do now is to deal with the aftermath and review the scam just now.

It is enough to encounter such deceptive tactics once, and you must not be deceived a second time!

Thanks to the efforts of Krupp civilization experts to review.

It was indeed discovered that there were still many differences in details between the projected fleet and the real fleet.

However, in the past, these detailed flaws would not have caused others to think so. They might even think that their own observation equipment was affected by the other party's anti-reconnaissance system, which caused these abnormalities.

Considering that the other party was only observed at such a close distance, this explanation is undoubtedly much more reliable than these being all false and just an illusion!

After seeing that the opponent's phantom fleet was not invulnerable, the commanders and generals breathed a sigh of relief, and then they remembered the major incident of the attack on the mining base.

They quickly paid attention.

What he saw was a mining base that had become ruins, scrapped aircraft and mining ships floating near the asteroid belt.

And...the tail flames of the engineering spacecraft that was driven away.

"..."

"What's going on? Why was our mining base destroyed by a warship and why was the mother ship captured?"

A general couldn't accept this result and shouted loudly, then opened his own panel and looked at the battle video transmitted from the mining base.

In these videos, the general gradually stopped talking.

In the video, the enemy spacecraft was not big, and its firepower was average, which was at the level of a lightweight battleship of the Crump Civilization.

Except for the ability to evade the detector with one hand, the rest of his performance, although amazing, is within the understanding of the Krupp civilization.

However, several unscientific monsters appeared on this spaceship!

Among these monsters, there was the humanoid creature that was observed at the beginning. It wielded an unscientific lightsaber and destroyed the most powerful artillery attack platform in the mining base in one go.

The officers and soldiers of the engineering mother ship also lived up to the trust of the Crump Civilization Council.

They fought bravely and used almost every weapon at their disposal.

It's a pity that their opponents are too powerful, too strange and terrifying.

The power involved is not even more bizarre than the Tower of Heaven.

Because of this, the engineering mother ship finally chose to surrender.

Although they were angry, the generals still understood.

As for self-destruction or something like that, to be honest, the Krupp Civilization has been traversing the starry sky near its home star for so many years and has never had an opponent.

Although many warships were still built, the self-destruction system was not added, and there was no environment for them to install it.

This actually gave Xiao Yu an advantage. After learning that the opponent's mothership did not have a self-destruct device, he simply changed his plan and directly hijacked the entire engineering mothership.

"The combat personnel were reduced by 50%, and they... did their best."

The commander rubbed his one eye between his brows, setting the tone for the capture of the engineering mother ship.

Under this tone, at least the families of the tens of thousands of officers and soldiers on the engineering mother ship do not have to bear too much moral pressure or even official punishment.

One hour after Xiao Yu successfully attacked the mining base.

The Krupp civilization galaxy behind the space-time gate.

The council in the home planet of the Krupp civilization received the report from the front line.

The chairman saw the report and learned about the enemy's strange strength and his own losses.

The good mood originally brought about by the heavy damage to those mechanical octopuses also disappeared all of a sudden.

"Chairman!"

Just when the chairman was upset, the projection of an old man from the board of directors appeared on the communication screen.

The old man called out to the chairman and then said:

"You have received the report from the front line, right?"

"Yes, I have read them all."

"So, do you think our plan is too hasty?"

The eyes of the old man on the council shone with wisdom and he said in a low voice:

"The enemy's background far exceeds the estimates of the expert meeting."

"I suggest that the fleet be withdrawn from the Guwa star system and focus the defense on our side of the space-time gate."

"The entrance and exit of the space-time gate is relatively narrow and easy to defend. Even if our detectors cannot capture the opponent's special warships, we can prevent the opponent from sneaking in by laying star mines and arranging a physical defense network."

"After all, the opponent can't really teleport and run over, right?"

The proposal of the old man on the council is undoubtedly prudent and reasonable.

The chairman believes that if a vote is held, the majority of people will support it.

only……

In the chairman's mind, he thought of the giant tower that reached into the sky.

Suddenly my heart tightened and I said:

"What's their attitude?"

"they?"

"this……"

The old man on the council was slightly startled, and was about to say don't pay attention to those monsters.

Suddenly there was a commotion behind him, amidst the bursts of noise that could not be like this.

The chairman suddenly stood up and suddenly saw several mechanical octopuses appearing behind the old man on the board of directors in the projection.

While seeing those mechanical octopuses, I could vaguely hear whispers:

"Flesh and blood are weak, but steel is immortal!"

"Poor fools who are bound by desires and bound by the flesh..."

"Now, it's time for you to contribute."

"The leader of the ignorant people, Krupp, who thinks he is a wise man, you should sign the order and fight to the end to realize the great mechanical ascension plan."

"As long as there is one Krupp around, the plan will not stop!"

Hear the voice of the mechanical octopus.

Both the chairman and the old man had cold hands and feet, and at the same time they deeply felt that the warnings of their ancestors were right.

Although this giant tower that reaches the sky has given the Krupp civilization the dawn of technology, it also hides a huge conspiracy inside.

The plan of the Tongtian Giant Tower must not be fully trusted!

Now it seems that this is indeed the case. Are they really going to turn their backs on customers?

"Hehe, hehehe!"

The old man on the council sat on his desk and laughed loudly.

Immediately, he shouted loudly:

"I have served the Krupp civilization for one hundred and twenty years, worked for six presidents, and am a first-class honorary bachelor of the Academy of Sciences!"

"Except for those who have been assimilated by you, my descendants are all civil servants of the Krupp civilization... How can I listen to you and betray them?"

"This is really...unreasonable!"

As he spoke righteously, a mechanical octopus suddenly lay on the table with its eight claws, and its head suddenly came close to the old man's face.

The deep red eyes revealed a deep murderous intent.

At this moment, the elder director had goosebumps all over his body.

Fear seemed to appear in his body like an invisible hand, squeezing his heart.
