Chapter 363 "Tripartite Firefight"
Li Wenyuan was a little surprised when he found the "Silencer" in the "Cage" galaxy. He really didn't expect to meet this civilization that had left the galaxy here.
Although at first he only detected fluctuations in the use of the "Material Disintegrator" unique to the "Silencer", but after a period of monitoring, he finally confirmed that it was indeed the "Silencer" in this closed galaxy, and Not the other "Boundary Breakers".
Besides "The Silent One", he also detected the existence of two other civilizations in this huge barred spiral galaxy.
Judging from the monitoring situation, one of the star domains occupied is not large, even compared to some interstellar empires, it can be considered ridiculously small. It is located on one of the only two spiral arms of this barred spiral galaxy. .
But this civilization's encryption method is very good, and it is difficult for even him to get benefits from it. It is probably the "hunter" civilization trapped here.
The remaining civilizations other than the "Silent Man" and the "Hunter" occupy a ridiculously large star area, as if their messy and huge number of signal sources can be monitored from any direction.
Roughly calculated, the size of this civilization may be tens of thousands of times that of ordinary civilizations in the Milky Way, and the star field it controls may have reached half of the entire "cage" galaxy, and the general orientation of this civilization lies in the "hunter" relative on the other arm.
Li Wenyuan speculates that this civilization may be the original civilization in this galaxy, or a collection of original civilizations. It was threatened by the "hunter" and had to retreat to the other end of the galaxy.
This phenomenon is very similar to the spiral galaxy he is in now. The two places separated by two civilizations are very different and basically irreconcilable.
But what made him curious was that the "Hunter" didn't destroy everything in this galaxy, and it didn't even seem to clean up the natives in this galaxy.
Judging from the signal source of that magnitude, the original civilization has not suffered any devastating damage, and is still developing very prosperously. This seems to be different from the situation of "hunters" who "destroy everything they go". too match.
He doesn’t think that the obvious difference in astronomical positions is because the original civilization has become the servant of the “Hunter”, and there must be something else that he doesn’t know about.
So after roughly finding out the situation in the galaxy, Li Wenyuan did not contact any of the civilizations rashly, but was still silently monitoring everything in the galaxy, and at the same time deciphered the encrypted signal of the "hunter" as much as possible, and obtained it in secret. information.
He needs to confirm the strength of the "hunters" and their purpose, because the galaxy he is in is only eight million light-years away from here.
After the Hunters attacked the Huanyu Enterprise galaxy two million light-years away, the next target did not choose this closer spiral galaxy, but chose the barred spiral galaxy that is now the "cage". There is probably a reason for this of.
This may be related to the fact that they have been collecting huge amounts of energy in an attempt to "ascend" to leave this universe.
It would be a lie to say that he was not curious about what the "hunter" found. Even if he had to face it head-on in the end, he still felt that his "in the dark" situation had an advantage.
The reason why he did not choose to contact the "Silent Ones" is also very simple. This is a group of invaders from the "high dimension", a group that has to "obey" after being defeated by humans.
In the past, their performance in the galaxy may have been due to the deterrence of human beings against them, and life will change. Now the "silent ones" are already outside the wider galaxy, and it is difficult to guarantee that they will not become enemies.
He still remembers the performance of those real "boundary breakers", which is also an "extinct civilization" that uses everything to the extreme and regards "low-dimensional" as a hunting ground.
The "cage" here is still very strong, and he still has enough time to obtain information. At least it is not too late for him to communicate with him after he confirms the general state of the current "Silent Man".
So Li Wenyuan used the "Pillars of Creation" to continuously open tiny "monitoring holes" in the space-time distortion that enveloped this galaxy, silently collecting information from them.
The three-party civilization that is in this "cage" galaxy does not know that there is already an external "monitor" who is always watching their movements, and they are still doing their own things.
In the "Home No. 2" galaxy, the senior officials of the "Exile" civilization gathered together again to discuss another recent "three-way exchange of fire" incident.
This is the current "mother galaxy" of their civilization. As for "Homeland No. 1", because it is at the other end of the galaxy, it has become a victim of the "Hell Defense Line", and it is a "forgotten history".
The "three-way exchange of fire" incident in history has not happened before. It is better to say that this "three-way exchange of fire" has occurred since the "silent empire" somehow came to this galaxy.
These high-level people are already familiar with this, but this time it is a bit special, because this is the largest and most intense "three-way exchange of fire" they have ever experienced.
For this reason, they had to discuss the reasons for this "exchange of fire".
"...The battle this time took place in the 'Grand Cross Star Field' thirty-two light-years away from the 'Hell Defense Line H725 to H789 section'. It is conservatively estimated that the number of warships participating in the battle has exceeded 20,000, and this number It's still increasing."
"And the number of warships we participated in... um... There are more than 18,000 ships at present, all of which are elites on the "Hell Defense Line", and have achieved considerable results..."
In the "three-way exchange of fire", the number of warships they dispatched was surprisingly large, and they seemed to participate in the battlefield in a crushing state.
However, the reporter deliberately did not report their casualties, because among the 18,000 warships, 17,000 ships were completely destroyed or missing, just like a group of ants that are constantly heading towards the fire source. , suffered heavy casualties.
The high-level "exiles" present actually knew the news, because this "three-way exchange of fire" was essentially a tactical operation planned by them.
They have been teased by the "hunter" for a long time, and the entire space force has become more and more depressed after experiencing a period of low morale.
Before this tactical operation actually started, a large number of elite fighters had already requested to fight, and submitted various tactical plans, many of which were suicidal actions, the purpose of which was just to attack the "hunter" "The arrogance.
After secretly planning for a long time, they finally decided to hold a huge "annihilation operation", targeting those "stalkers" who often wander around the "hell defense line".
