In the past five years, Latis had done his best and even brought out most of the Zilun Empire's resources.
All of this was to completely suppress the resistance forces in the Seras Empire and the Salamo Republic within five years.
Of course … there was also the resistance within the Zilun Empire itself.
It had to be said that when a level 10 civilization went all out, a level 9 civilization would not be able to resist at all. Even if they had adopted a completely hidden strategy, they were still found and destroyed by Latis in the past five years.
Now, the resistance forces within the three Universal Civilizations had been completely destroyed. Although they were not completely wiped out, they would not be able to cause much trouble for at least ten years.
Due to this situation and the time limit, Latis had no choice but to stop the suppression and gather the army to prepare for an expedition.
-----
Federation Calendar Year 175, Neil Kenia Supercluster, Nevila Galaxy.
As the ocean current node that led to the Wills Special Supercluster, Nevila was now filled with the Zilun Empire's battleships.
Unlike the battleships of the Seras Empire and the Salamo Republic, the Zilun Empire's battleships were very small. In terms of the size of the Federation's battleships, they were only the size of the Federation's frigates.
However, although their battleships were small, they were countless times stronger than the common battleships of a level 9 civilization.
Not to mention other things, just the dark energy weapons alone were definitely not something that a level 9 civilization's battleship could compare to.
There were even three extremely special battleships that were all controlled by the Zilun Empire's level 10 dark energy users. According to the Federation's classification, these three were all level S dark energy users using the Alpha-assisted calculation device.
"Leader, the fleet is ready. Five super attack groups, 48 normal attack groups, a total of 980 billion battleships. We can set off at any time!"
"Hmm!"
Latis only nodded and did not say anything else. He seemed to be thinking about something or making a difficult decision. There was a hint of struggle on his face.
"Leader?"
"Marshal Ares, do you understand the current situation of our empire?"
"Yes, I understand. Leader, don't worry. I'll definitely take down that human!"
Ordinary citizens might not know the current situation of the Zi Lun Empire, but as the supreme commander of the empire's armed forces and the only marshal of the empire, how could Ares not know?
Although the Zi Lun Empire had expressed their allegiance to Garen, the two civilizations were technological civilizations and biological civilizations. There was an irreconcilable conflict between them.
Now that the number of Purgatory's side was small, Garen needed the help of these three great indigenous civilizations. If Garen could solve the problem of the number of the various races in the future, would he still need subordinates who had a fundamental conflict with him?
The answer was no.
Since they no longer needed it, it was easy to imagine what would happen to the three Universal Civilizations led by the Zi Lun Empire.
Among the three Universal Civilizations, the Purple Lun Empire was the biggest threat to Garen. They were a level ten technological civilization.
In essence, the Zi Lun Empire was actually a civilization in the same dimension as Garen. However, under the super civilization, among the civilizations of the same level, the biological civilization was much more powerful than the technological civilization. This led to Garen occupying the dominant position at this moment.
However, if the Zi Lun Empire became a super civilization one day, what would happen?
Therefore, Garen was actually afraid of the Zi Lun Empire, but he did not dare to directly destroy the Zi Lun Empire.
This did not mean that he did not have the strength. On the contrary, Garen had the strength and it would not be difficult for him to destroy the Zi Lun Empire. However, there was a factor that he had to consider carefully.
Yes, Garen was very powerful, but the problem was that he was the only level ten creature in the entire Purgatory. After Haig died, he did not even have a single level nine creature under his command.
Yes, destroying the Zi Lun Empire was not difficult for Garen. He just needed to spend some time.
However, the problem was that he could not destroy the entire Zi Lun Empire in an instant, but the Zi Lun Empire's fleet could easily kill all the Purgatory creatures except Garen while fighting against Garen.
After all, it would be a piece of cake for a Tier 10 technological civilization to deal with a group of Tier 6 and Tier 7 beings with only one Tier 8 being among them.
Therefore, even if Garen destroyed the entire Zi Lun Empire in the end, he would most likely become a general without an army. This …
This was not something Garen wanted to see!
Because of this, Garen used such a complicated method in order to further weaken the Zi Lun Empire's strength.
Ares was well aware of all of this. Therefore, in his opinion, the best strategy was to take down the humans as quickly as possible and complete Garen's orders so that Garen wouldn't be able to find any more excuses to wear down the Empire in a short period of time.
"Ares, you see it clearly, but you don't understand it at all!"
After hearing Ares' answer, Latis shook his head and said.
This made Ares a little confused.
What did he mean by "see it clearly, but I don't understand it at all"?
I don't understand what my leader is talking about!
Seeing Ares's dumbfounded expression, Latis smiled instead.
"You don't understand, that's right. If you do, then you are not a general, but the leader of the empire!"
"This …"
"Listen up, Ares. Even if we survive this crisis, Garen will not let us off the hook. He will continue to use other methods to deplete our strength. If we respond passively like you do every time, we will only become weaker and weaker. In the end, it will still be difficult for us to escape the path of destruction. If we want to break out of this situation, we will never rely on passivity, but on initiative to win!"
Hearing this, Ares was shocked and immediately realized where he had gone wrong.
In Ares' mind, no matter how difficult Garen's problems were, as long as he dealt with it properly, he would not be able to find any opportunities.
However, the problem was that no matter how well he dealt with it, it was impossible to not suffer any losses every time.
Moreover, Garen would not use some easy missions to attack the Zi Lun Empire.
In this way, perhaps once or twice, the losses of the empire would not be great. However, once the number of times he hid, even if it was only a small wound, it would be fatal.
Just as the leader said, if they only responded passively, it would still be difficult to escape death.
If they wanted to break out of this situation, they would have to take the initiative to win.
Ares understood, but …
He still had no idea how to break out of this situation!
