“Today is a good day…”

Humming a tune, Colonel Chu was packing his belongings. Starting from today, he was about to leave the Moon Combat Command Center.

Knock, knock, knock!

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door. When Colonel Chu opened it, he was surprised to see Zhao Yu, with a trace of worry on his face.

His heart skipped a beat, wondering if something had gone wrong.

“There is no need to pack up…” Zhao Yu glanced at the packed luggage in the room and shook his head.

Colonel Chu immediately asked, “Has the Moro fleet returned?!”

“No, it’s worse than that!”

Zhao Yu sighed, “The Moro fleet has destroyed Pluto and Neptune. The ripples in space and time have spread out for a thousand light years…”

“In this range, there are 22 civilizations that are above level one. They now know that there is intelligent life in our solar system and will send fleets to check it out soon…”

“What?!”

Colonel Chu was taken aback, and quickly asked for more details.

Zhao Yu briefly explained the situation, then said, “It would be okay if they were all level one civilizations, but among them, one is a level three civilization and eight are level two civilizations. I want to know your thoughts?!”

“What is the technological level of a level three civilization, and what kind of weapons do they have?”

“I don’t know!”

Zhao Yu shook his head. If he knew, he could make decisions himself and wouldn’t need to come here.

Colonel Chu, thinking, carefully asked, “Could the Pangu civilization possibly help?!”

Zhao Yu shook his head, “No, they’re too far away. They can only provide some technical support, but there are certain limitations. They can’t send us technology of a level three civilization…”

He knew very well that there was no Pangu civilization. It was a cover story he made up to conceal the existence of the system.

Colonel Chu pondered for a moment, then asked, “I remember you mentioning that the Moro people escaped through a wormhole in their mothership. Do we have the ability to travel through wormholes now?!”

“Not yet!”

Zhao Yu spread his hands, “If we had a little more time, we might be able to get the technology to travel through wormholes, but not now…”

Colonel Chu put down the items in his hand, invited Zhao Yu to sit down inside, and started to pace back and forth, deep in thought.

Seeing this, Zhao Yu didn’t disturb him and quietly waited.

After a while, Colonel Chu stopped pacing and said, “We should prepare for both possibilities now…”

“First, we must prepare for war with all our strength, setting up numerous defenses near the wormhole and increasing the production of all types of warships…”

“Second, we need to plan for a possible defeat in advance. We need to figure out how and where to retreat ahead of time…”

Seeing Zhao Yu remain silent, he continued, “Considering the speed of level two civilization’s spaceships, even if a level three civilization could reach light speed, it would still take at least four years to reach our solar system…”

“So, under normal circumstances, they would also have to come through the wormhole…”

“We just need to set up a laser defense system and a large number of attack facilities near the wormhole. This way, as soon as the enemy fleet appears, we can completely annihilate them…”

“Regarding the war, let me discuss it further with other advisors and then give you a feasible plan…”

Colonel Chu paused, then said, “As for the plan to retreat if defeated, I do have some thoughts…”

“To prevent the extinction of human civilization, we could select a group of people, not many, just a million, to leave the solar system in spaceships in advance…”

“The rest can be settled on the Bel comet…”

Colonel Chu quickly took out the star map he hadn’t returned yet, quickly pulling the image to the outer edge of the solar system.

“The Bel comet is currently outside Neptune’s orbit, 16 billion kilometers from the wormhole…”

“According to the rule that a large mass object can cover the gravitational wave of a smaller mass object, we can let the remaining humans take a spaceship and stop at the Bel comet…”

“In case of defeat, we can quickly arrange for the people on the Bel comet to retreat…”

Zhao Yu looked at the star map. The Bel comet’s current position was just on the other side of the sun. Judging from the length, the distance from the Bel comet to the sun was not much different from the distance from the wormhole to the sun.

If the enemy comes out of the wormhole, their primary target would surely be the Earth.

Even if some were persistent and wanted to check every celestial body in the solar system for humans, it would take more than 50 days to reach the Bel comet from the wormhole. With this buffer time, the humans on the Bel comet could comfortably escape.

Zhao Yu’s eyes gradually brightened.

After Colonel Chu’s explanation, he suddenly realized that although the system gave him three options, it didn’t mean he could only do one thing!

He could completely transfer all people to the Bel comet first, then continue to defend the Earth and engage the enemy.

If they win, everyone would be delighted. If they lose, the people on the Bel comet would have plenty of time to escape the solar system.

“These two preparations are quite good!”

Zhao Yu nodded satisfactorily, “Advisor Chu, please prepare a detailed plan as soon as possible, so we can start preparations early…”

Leaving the command building, Zhao Yu felt relieved. This time he didn’t hesitate and directly chose the third option.

In this way, even if the war failed, he could switch to the second option, leading all humans to escape.

But this option isn’t ideal after all. The solar system is four light-years away from the Alpha Centauri system. After leaving the core area, there is a vast empty space in between, with almost no useful resources except cosmic dust.

This means that the resources they carry will eventually run out. It might not take 359 years, and humans could be trapped and starve on the spaceship.

[Choice completed, obtained title: King of War.]

[King of War: Destroy any hostile military units to gain extra tech points.]

“The way to get tech points from the ‘King of War’ title is quite broad. I can get tech points for destroying any military units with hostility…”

Zhao Yu was somewhat delighted, “I just don’t know how many tech points 1 can get for destroying a warship…”

950 light-years away, a giant black hole was continuously spewing out spaceships.

In just the time it takes to finish a cup of tea, over a million warships lined up outside the black hole.

This was the Great Whale Legion sent by the Modou Civilization to the solar system.

Naturally, they didn’t need such a big move just to check if there was civilization in the solar system.

The main reason the Modou Civilization sent so many warships was that they wanted to be opportunistic.

Two stars exploded, and within this 1,000 light-years range, level 2 civilizations would definitely send fleets to investigate.

All they needed to do was follow these fleets and trace back to their civilization’s origin.

On the leading command ship, a man with a human head and an octopus body ordered, “Notify everyone to follow my previous instructions. All legions should go and lurk in their respective galaxy. Without my order, no one is allowed to act or expose themselves…”

“Also, tell all legions that for this wormhole travel, we will activate the acceleration mode. We must be the first to arrive….”
