He knew very well what the curvature engine represented. In the entire Orion Arm, only one civilization had mastered this technology.
That is the only fourth-level civilization, the Babavi Empire.
To say that the human federation in front of them is a curvature engine purchased from the Babavi Empire, Catherine believes that this is absolutely impossible, because the sale of this technology is prohibited in the Babavi Empire.
Then the question arises. After eliminating all the impossibilities, it seems that there is only one possible situation left, and that is...
------
More than 10 million kilometers behind the guard fleet, the Io Federation's third army was galloping through the void.
Alfie also received the latest notification from the guard fleet at this time, but the content really surprised him.
The other party actually destroyed the Oaks Empire and rescued a large number of captured angels on the Oaks planet?
Are you here to escort these angels home this time? Do you want to be so friendly? When did there be so much love in the universe?
It’s no wonder that Elfi thinks so. After all, in this jungle-like universe, the war between civilizations is the main theme, and the law of the jungle is the basis of everything. Peaceful coexistence and working together for progress do not exist at all.
Bar!
Of course, if it weren't for the fact that the Io Federation is an angel race and has been found to be able to reproduce with humans without any problems, the federation would not be doing what it is doing now.
Therefore, in essence, Elfie's idea is still correct.
What surprised Catherine the most was that the opponent's fleet most likely had a warp engine.
If this is true, then the matter is very serious. This is most likely an unexposed local fourth-level civilization, or a fourth-level civilization from outside Orion?
No matter which one it is, it is not something that the Io Federation can afford to offend.
"How long until we arrive?"
"The current distance is 12 million kilometers and we will arrive in about 40 minutes!"
"Okay, tell Commander Kesselin to stabilize the other party and wait until we arrive to discuss everything!"
"Yes, Commander of the Elphi Corps!"
In the bridge of the Ouranos, Lin Fan looked at the pale Catherine, knowing that she had realized the key point, and was ready to continue to add fire!
"Liang Xue, order a battlecruiser to fire its main gun at us!"
"Yes, Commander!"
Half a minute later, Catherine received a report from her subordinates that a warship in the opponent's fleet was recharging its weapons.
Catherine was a little nervous about this, not knowing what the other party was going to do until the next moment...
A battlecruiser not far away from the Ouranos fired a main gun-level ion beam and directly bombarded the Ouranos.
This attack immediately confused Catherine. What are humans doing?
However, the scene that followed made him widen his eyes with disbelief on his face.
The main gun-level ion beam did not pose a threat to the Ouranos. A light blue energy shield appeared in front of everyone, and the attack was easily resisted without even leaving a trace on the shield.
waves.
Now, Catherine finally understood what Lin Fan said before.
If we have malicious intentions, can your 1,000 warships and the 300,000 warships coming behind you stop us?
That's right, this is an energy shield. If the other party is really malicious, why does it need to be said to me so much? You can completely push yourself!
And what does the energy shield plus the curvature engine mean? This is a level four civilization!
Even if not, it must have already entered the fourth-level civilization. The third-level civilization is nothing in front of it. No wonder the other party destroyed the Oaks Empire easily. Now all this has a reasonable explanation.
Catherine figured it out and immediately passed the situation to the Third Army.
------
"Commander of the Elphi Corps, Commander Catherine has sent the latest information, which is a video!"
"Huh? Play it and take a look!"
"yes!"
A projection screen immediately appeared in the bridge, and the video transmitted by Catherine was played. It was the scene where Lin Fan showed off the energy shield just now.
After watching it, Alfie's scalp felt numb.
Energy shield? Coupled with the curvature engine reported by Catherine before, is this really a level four civilization?
In this regard, Alfie did not dare to neglect, but he knew what would happen if he angered a fourth-level civilization. It would definitely be the death of people and the annihilation of the whole family, and there was no other possibility.
A fourth-level civilization saved his own people and even sent a fleet to bring them back to him. However, he treated them as enemies. Isn't this looking for death?
This matter is no longer something I can handle, and I must let the Queen make the decision as soon as possible.
"Inform Commander Catherine that you must not do any rude actions. I will personally visit the opponent's warship later!"
"Yes, Commander Elphie!"
------
On the planet Io, in the Angel Hall, Queen Bella was frowning at the leaders of various tribes in front of her.
In the Io Federation, please do not think that calling the Queen is an imperial civilization.
The queen also has a term of office, but each term of the angel queen is up to one thousand years, and after the term ends, her daughter will not take over, but a new queen will be re-elected.
"Queen, Commander Elphie has sent the latest information!"
A guard walked into the room and reported to Bella.
"What did Elfie say?"
"The other party is suspected to be a fourth-level civilization. It has been confirmed that it has a curvature engine and energy shield, and the other party has no obvious malice. To show respect, I will personally visit the other party's flagship."
After the guard finished speaking, the whole room exploded.
The faces of the eighteen tribal leaders suddenly turned pale. Level 4 civilization? Are you sure this is not a joke?
Isn't there only a fourth-level civilization like the Babavi Empire on the Orion Arm? When did another one appear?
What on earth did they come here to do?
"Everyone, please be quiet!"
Looking at the tribal leaders whispering below, Bella had no choice but to stop them.
"First of all, it has been confirmed that the other party has a curvature engine and an energy shield. Secondly, the other party should have no malicious intentions as the commander of the Elfi Army said. Otherwise, they can directly overthrow us. There is no need to do this.
eventful."
In response to what the Queen said, all the tribal leaders also nodded.
The Queen is right. If the other party is really malicious, there is no need to do this. Just push it aside and be done with it.
After all, it is too easy for a fourth-level civilization to destroy a third-level civilization, and there is no need to talk nonsense with you.
Seeing that the people below had no objections, Bella continued.
"In that case, as the commander of the Elfi Army said, she will personally visit the opponent's flagship to confirm the opponent's intentions first!"
