Chapter 442: Chapter 261: Taking Advantage of the Situation_2
Destruction is always simpler than creation.
This is the main problem to be resolved in this meeting.
Some council members have begun whispering among themselves.
"Should we gather all the strength of the Pirate Alliance and storm in, grabbing whatever we can?"
"It’s difficult. Although the defense of the Es Civilization may indeed have weakened, it hasn’t weakened to the point where it can be easily rushed."
"Key timing, how much time do we have for an assault?"
"Correct, I suspect the Es Civilization has already planned, placing bombs on all devices they can’t take with them, making it almost impossible to obtain those devices."
"It’s possible, but not definite. The Es Civilization doesn’t seem to be retreating in order; they appear somewhat panicked. If the underlying reasons change quickly, they might not have prepared the plans you suggest."
"..."
As the discussion continues, things seem to become clearer, but instead of more hope, they bring more challenges.
The council members are furrowing their brows, openly displaying their emotions.
They once again recognize the power of these eighteen B-level Civilizations.
Even amidst what feels like a chaotic retreat, there’s no chance for weaker parties to glean opportunities.
However, no matter how difficult the problem is, if there’s a possibility, it can certainly be found.
"Can we seek help from other civilizations? Or, cooperation?" The speaker who stood up was a council member named Ye Dai.
Ye Dai is of mixed race, having become a council member fourteen hundred years ago and successfully maintaining his position until now, relying on the rise of the Pirate Alliance. He has distinct abilities in negotiating foreign affairs projects, as many non-human civilizations within the Pirate Alliance are controlled through the intelligence and negotiation under the department led by Ye Dai.
Thus, his first thought turning to third-party factors is logical.
"Sounds good, but there’s no suitable target." Other members also said, "Civilizations capable of helping us may not care about these things, and those who do care may not have the capability to do anything, after all, the civilization gap within the Mude System is too severe."
The council member’s last sentence points out the biggest difficulty in seeking partners.
Due to the continual annexing by B-level civilizations, the civilization gap within the Mude System between C-level and B-level is vastly large. Other than these B9 Level civilizations, only C9 Level civilizations remain, allowing the Pirate Alliance to reign like a legend in the Mude System.
Under such circumstances, there is indeed little possibility of finding suitable third-party assistance.
But Ye Dai must already know this, and having proposed it, he naturally has his ideas.
"Just as we believe, the Es Civilization may also believe." Ye Dai said, "Hence, even if we convene some third-party to invade and pillage, the Es Civilization wouldn’t detect and destroy the remaining items. But if we can hide the civilization truly capable of assisting us within them, perhaps we have a chance — have you all forgotten, there’s a heap of civilizations within Gus Land possessing high-level warships and devices, just like us."
Upon his announcement, the scene plunged into silence.
Many people showed a flicker of enlightenment, thoughtful contemplation.
Ye Dai’s words indeed seemed to locate a third party meeting requirements.
Even within Gus Land, there is no true B-level Civilization; after all, if they possess such strength, they would be either advanced partners of Gus Land or absorbed by Gus Land.
Nonetheless, this doesn’t mean these civilizations have no menace to the Es Civilization.
Or rather, a singular civilization alone presents no threat.
However, each civilization holds some fine things in their hands.
If you can assemble all these civilizations’ key powers...
"This way, the number of participating civilizations would be extremely high, increasing the chance of information leaks."
"Correct, the same Es Civilization trade market exists in Gus Land."
"It’s not entirely impossible..."
"The core zone market often doesn’t manage the peripheral markets; most crucially, we don’t require those Time Crystal troop convoys, we can directly use the Holy Land to transmit, catching the Es Civilization by surprise!"
"Gather the other C-level Civilizations too, under the guise of the Pirate Alliance for concealment."
"Until the end, even the Es Civilization wouldn’t give up; we indeed have a chance to make a bold move, even without complete success, at least strike fiercely once!"
"..."
As the discussion proceeds, a general plan unexpectedly takes shape.
Shen Shi sat at the primary seat, speaking little, but the slight curl of his lips expressed his delight.
Indeed, they found a plan potentially profitable.
"Once thought we’d need at least six thousand years before Human Civilization could confront these veteran B-level civilizations, but if successful, perhaps we can greatly reduce this time." Shen Shi mused privately.
Human Civilization’s development speed has nearly reached the limit.
Technology reserve, population growth, resource expansion...
Everything has been done to the extreme.
Yet reaching the limits of self-development doesn’t mean the strength growth has reached its limits.
Unable to design and manufacture warship production lines ourselves, but if acquiring a complete line, why not commence advanced warship production?
If sufficient weapons are grasped, why not equip a truly formidable fleet?
No matter what, if the raid on the Es Civilization’s mother star region succeeds, it would bring invaluable wealth to Human Civilization!
"This operation, not just an excellent opportunity for enhancing strength but also for foundational prestige enhancement within the Pirate Alliance!" Shen Shi looked at everyone, finishing with a closing statement, "Therefore, do not perceive this merely as a chance to make a fortune but as a significant turning point, marking our Human Civilization’s genuine step onto the high-stage of the Mude System! I hope to see a sufficiently comprehensive, detailed, and powerful plan."
"Yes!" All council members stood up, their expressions either calm, or fervent, or maintaining calm underneath suppressed fervor.
Especially seasoned members like Tao De and Chen Feng from the Earth Star Era!
Once upon a time, humans facing the Mude System and the Es Civilization likened ants gazing at stars, or fish staring at the ocean — an unimaginable chasm impossible to cross.
And now, humanity has the qualification to invade the Es Civilization’s mother star, trampling this tens of thousands, even hundreds of thousands-year Galactic Overlord beneath feet!
Even if this is merely taking advantage during turmoil, its significance remains infinitely vast.
Moreover, if looting amid turmoil is possible, would direct robbery still be far off?
At least thousands of years have past since they encountered such an exciting and anticipated event causing the entire consciousness world to tremble.
In the forthcoming period, all Human Civilization high-levels in Line Three of the future will begin targeted actions.
Though discussed simply at the meeting, such matters aren’t feasible overnight.
Determining a plan alone might require hundreds of years of time!
This is majorly due to the Holy Land saving a substantial amount of time for humanity.
Otherwise, even thousands of years might not suffice, simply transportation of messages, back and forth deployments consume vast energies.
