翁公和在厨房猛烈进出

Engaging again with the humans had been a total tragedy to the Glassians.

Before the fleets started traveling at the speed of light, they had already lost four fleets in a lengthy three hour period.

...

At the war command hall of the Space City.

As the scenes of the war were synced to the space fighters, the entire hall was filled with excitement and many of their faces had flushed red.

Most of them were being pessimistic about the war before it started.

Glassian were the human’s teachers to some extent. Humans learned their technology and everything from the Glassian. Humans started from an imitation and soon they were beyond the Glassian’s capabilities. However, they were not confident enough since their improvement was compared to the technology that the Glassian had developed about 60 years ago.

Human’s target was to catch up with the Glassian and it had been done better than expected.

Everyone was disappointed and depressed, especially when the Glassian’s fleet was getting a head start on the war by approaching the Barnard’s Star in a way that was beyond imagination.

It was a dramatic victory. Despite it being beyond one’s expectations, although they somehow had relied on luck, it had still boosted their confidence.

They then realized that the Glassian were not as powerful as one would imagine. Putting aside that they could travel at a superluminal speed, their warship was incomparable to the human’s warship. Furthermore, they were confused and also somehow relieved when the Glassian’s fleet had no idea what should they do as soon as the war had begun.

"It means that we’ve only lost three space fighters and in turn managed to destroy four of their warships." Looking at the odd results, Bi Jianping was confused. The results of the war had been verified several times and confirmed that it was true. Otherwise, he would have doubted their reliability.

Was it because the humans were too strong or maybe the Glassians being too weak.

"No particular conclusion has been made yet but the pre-judgment is that there might be an issue among the commanders which caused them fail to enter the state of war." An officer explained, "However, their warships are indeed weaker. They can’t defend against our gamma-ray cannon."

Gamma-rays had a high penetrating power. However, heavy metal atoms could defend against the penetration of the gamma-ray effectively. The human warships were equipped with multiple layers of advanced gold alloys. It was impossible for a space fighter to destroy a warship through such a penetration protection system. Apparently, the Glassian’s warships did not do proper precautionary measures in order to prevent that.

That’s how technology was. When there was a shield, there would be a spear. There was no skill that could fight everything.

At that moment, an alarm was heard coming from the war command hall. The space wave detection system had discovered that there was a drastic change in their flight path. It all caused a stir in the hall and thus everyone was paying close attention to the changes occurred in the light dot.

It seemed like the light dot that was representing the Glassian’s warship was traveling on a curvature path. It gradually made a big turn and soon... it was heading back to the direction where it came from.

Bi Jianping was stunned and asked in doubt, "What are they doing?"

The officer was puzzled as well. The Glassian’s act was beyond comprehension. He opened his mouth and mumbled, "It could be a strange strategy!"

...

Of course, that was not the Glassian’s strategy. It was because they were not yet granted authority and on the other hand, after they had been defeated earlier they had to be extra careful.

If the war was said to have made the humans excited and happy, what was left for the Glassian was nervousness and alertness. The confidence they had before the war had vanished.

"These are the human defense distribution map and the Space City which is situated on the orbit of the rock planet. We detected them before traveling at a superluminal speed."

On a big holographic screen, a complex defense network was being displayed. They were like stars scattered all over the infinitely large space. All of the top management who participated at the meeting was stunned while staring at the screen since they felt that it was unbelievable.

The number of defense facilities available was lesser than what the Glassian had but that was expected since theirs were built over the period of hundreds of years. As they had not encountered any enemies for a long period of time, they were seldom involved in military matters. Most of the space defense facilities were worn out antiques that had been built more than 10 years ago.

But how long had humans stayed there?

It was only about 20 years since they had lost contact with the spaceship that went on a long voyage. Even if the spaceship began traveling at full speed in order to leave the galaxy, it would have taken about 12 years to do so. That being said, they had been staying there for at most eight years. Realistically, that period of time would be a lot shorter.

"Their technology is quite advanced. To some extent, they have surpassed our technology." The Glassian military staff continued and his face turned grave, "They are using a super high powered gamma-ray cannon that is beyond comprehension. The defense of our spaceship is as weak as a thin layer of iron sheets. It is incapable of defending against it at all and yet this is merely the weapon of their mini warship."

"They have even built three large warships. They are at the position of our original trajectory path. It is obvious that they are aiming to block our way." The screen changed again. The people were all terrified by the large warships. They were so smooth and shiny and there were no splice joints, indicating how powerful their industrial ability was.

Everyone remained silent in the meeting room.

"Alright, the analysis will stop here! Does anyone of you have any solutions? Let’s discuss it." The commander of the Glassian said as he was trying to hide his anxiety and anger. In this current moment, he was disappointed in the bureaucracy that had entangled him. He had not been granted the authority to declare a war even until now.

Of course, he could not admit that he had underestimated the enemy as nobody would expect that when they were still 3.5 light years away from the nearest planet (approximately 90 billion kilometers, using the Kuiper Belt as standard, the radius of the solar system was 15 billion kilometers), at the outer region of the galaxy, which was absolutely a safety zone, they would encounter the human armed forces. According to their original plan, they would undergo a brief maintenance over there and also collect some information. They would then proceed to kill all the humans with ease.

It was not his fault. Instead, the Glassian had underestimated the ability of humans. The human race was terrifying. They had lost the war and failed to destroy the human race. In less than 10 years, humans would take revenge on the Glassian.

Fortunately, it was not that they couldn’t turn things back.

Thanks to the technique of warp drive, the initiative lied in the hands of the Glassian. At the same time, it was a technique that possessed terrifying destructive power. Even if it went on a rampage, the human defense would still collapse.

However, he had no idea why he had such a strong sense of insecurity, it was as if that was the early warning of a disaster.

It seemed like there was a driving force, urging him to leave this place immediately.

...

At the same moment, Luo Yuan was like a soul, hanging in the dark space that was hundreds of millions of kilometers away from the Glassian spaceship.

Due to the dark background, it seemed like his body had merged with the darkness. His vision had been readjusted and his previous sensitivity had been restored. He gazed at the Glassian’s spaceship quietly as if he was in deep thought.
