Chapter 552: Insecure (2/2)

…

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.
