The Italo Union.
It was just a mid-level level-6 technological civilization. However, it was not an easy task to take down the core area of their civilization, which was the Brecht Galaxy.
At least … for a level-7 civilization, this was the case!
This was not to say that the Italo Union's technology was very powerful. In fact, their technology was only about the same as the Rose Empire's, not to mention the Federation, which had reached level-7.
However, Elfi was defeated!
They were defeated by a level-6 civilization.
The reason was that the Italo Union had discovered the ruins of a high-level civilization in the Brecht Galaxy thousands of years ago.
Moreover, it was a laboratory of a level-8 civilization's time technology.
-----
Union Capital Planet, Otas.
In the Supreme Council, the chairman and more than 30 members gathered together. Their expressions were not very good.
A year, no, less than a year!
They had already lost more than 90% of their territory. A total of 39 galaxies, and now only the Brecht Galaxy was left.
If it wasn't for the existence of that thing, they would have become prisoners by now!
The Italo Union had been established for tens of thousands of years. When had they ever encountered such a crisis?
However, fortunately, they had discovered the ruins thousands of years ago. After mastering the preliminary method of using the equipment, they were not completely defenseless!
At least … within the Brecht Galaxy, the other party would definitely not be able to attack!
"Chairman, we can't go on like this!"
"That's right. Even if we can rely on the Sacred Artifact to defend the Brecht Galaxy, the other party only needs to completely trap us here. And if we are trapped, all our development will come to a standstill!"
"Can we try to talk to the other party?"
…
The entire council was in an uproar.
Even if they had successfully taken down one of the other party's fleets, there was no excitement on the faces of these members. Instead, there was only … anxiety!
Speaking of which, they could not be blamed.
After all, as one of the members said, they could indeed take the Brecht Galaxy with the Sacred Artifact.
However, the problem was that the Sacred Artifact could not leave the ruins at all, and no one dared to move it out.
In the end, this was a technological product that far surpassed their own civilization. After so many years of research, their civilization only had a preliminary understanding of how to use some of the functions of the Sacred Artifact.
As for the principles and internal structure of this equipment, it could be said that they were still in a state of ignorance.
Under such circumstances, who would dare to move him out of the ruins?
Who would be responsible if it broke?
Therefore, this set of special equipment, which was still in the ruins, could only be used to cover the Brecht Galaxy at most.
So, as long as the enemy did not enter the Brecht system, and instead used the strategy of completely trapping the Italo alliance within the system, what would the outcome be?
It was clear that the development of the Italo civilization would come to a standstill, or even regress!
This was also the reason why none of the councilors had a smile on their faces even though they had successfully taken down a galaxy cluster of the Federation!
"Enough!"
Right at this moment, Chairman Reisers' voice reverberated throughout the council.
The absolute power that had been accumulated over the years caused the scene to instantly quiet down.
"Do you think talking will solve the problem?"
"Do you think they're here for an exchange?"
"Do you think this universe can be reasoned with?"
"Why don't you think about what we did when we unified the Mercia Star System and the civilizations of the other Star Systems begged us?"
"There is no friendship between civilizations except under special circumstances!"
"Do you want to befriend all the civilizations?"
"Then let me ask you, once you've befriended all the civilizations, how will you expand? How will you develop? "
"Either you continue to improve, or you perish, and this … is the only truth in this cold universe!"
Reisers was one of the few people who understood.
Why did the Federation come to the Mercia Star System?
Obviously, they were not here to befriend you, but to conquer you!
And there was no way they would give up on the Mercia Star System just because of a conversation.
There were only two ways to survive.
One was to completely defeat the enemy!
The other was to deal a heavy blow to the enemy and make them think that if they continued to invade the Mercia Star System, the losses would far outweigh the benefits.
After all, interstellar wars were all about benefits. Unless there was something wrong with their brains, no one would start a war without benefits.
It could be said that Reisers' logic was completely correct. There was nothing wrong with it.
The law of the jungle was never just a saying. There was only one end for the Mother Goddess' civilization in this cold universe, and that was self-destruction!
Although the Federation seemed to be very friendly to other civilizations and was not keen on destroying other civilizations, but had always been subduing other civilizations as their subsidiary civilizations.
But in reality, this image was wrong.
In the 100 years since the Federation's rise, it had destroyed at least 800,000, if not one million, civilizations.
However, in external propaganda, the Federation had always been talking about which civilizations had become subsidiary civilizations of the Federation today. They would never mention which civilization the Federation had destroyed today!
This was to be expected. Who would talk about such things all day long?
If you looked at the history of the Federation after they left the Solar System, you would realize that other than the native Milky Way and the Great Magellan Star System where the elves were located, which the Federation had given some preferential treatment, the civilizations in the other Star Systems, other than a few special existences, did not have any news at all.
That was why they left a kind image for the world.
However, what was the true face of the Federation?
Just look at the 200,000 plus subsidiary civilizations under the Federation's control!
Occupying a few Star Systems meant that they had 200,000 subsidiary civilizations?
One had to know that in the Milky Way alone, there were more than 100,000 level three civilizations and above.
So, haha!
But was the Federation wrong?
From the perspective of a civilization, it was completely wrong. It could even be said that it was unusually correct!
And this was the law of survival in the universe, the correct way for a civilization to develop!
Obviously, Reisers understood this very well.
Therefore, he knew very well that it was useless to talk because the Federation's most fundamental goal was to completely occupy the Mercia Star System.
Below the stage, after hearing what Reisers said, the senators all opened their mouths to refute, but they realized that they could not say anything.
"Because there is only one thing we need to do, and that is to defeat those enemies who want to invade the Brecht Star System again and again, until …"
"Until the enemy completely gives up because of their losses!"
"And we have the ability to do this …"
