Chapter 1503: Chapter 11: Extremely Backward Defense Line! [Request for Official Subscription]

Within the interstellar space, a fleet of two thousand battleships swiftly forged ahead amidst the starry sky.

This fleet, though slightly smaller in scale than the Earth Fleet, was not lacking in the size, power, or even appearance of its ships.

However, its current state seemed not so formidable, speeding forward as if it were fleeing for its life.

Indeed, this fleet was fleeing for its life.

And the one escaping within these ships was none other than the most esteemed figure of the Auster Empire— the Auster Empress!

"Sister, isn’t the Earth we’re heading to quite near? Is escaping such a short distance any use? Won’t they catch up to us?"

An Auster girl, looking about eleven or twelve, stood on the flagship bridge, gazing at the starry sky behind with a touch of sadness.

Beside her, a woman who appeared around twenty or so, gently stroked her little head and solemnly said, "They might catch up, but we shouldn’t be afraid. There’s a great hero on Earth. He will help us fend off the enemies."

"I know, it’s Lord Jia Yan, right? The one who helped you become the Empress back then." The little girl giggled, as if suggesting something between her sister and Lord Jia Yan.

"Little Xun, stop talking nonsense. How could Lord Jia Yan... How could he possibly fancy someone as tainted as me!"

Rarely did the Empress suddenly show such a change in expression, her words causing the little girl, Little Xun, to momentarily pause, then dare not pursue the topic further.

About Empress Xiaoya, the work she did on the chaotic border of the Auster Empire back in the day was a highly classified secret. Even to this day, Little Xun didn’t understand what her sister had been involved with, but from her sister’s perpetual self-depreciating demeanor, she could vaguely surmise.

"Anyway, sister, the fact that we can head to Earth is good enough. I know of this Lord Jia Yan you mentioned too. Wasn’t he said to be injured? Can such a person still protect us? I find it unlikely."

Little Xun, no longer teasing her sister about ’Jia Yan,’ asked solemnly.

"I don’t know either, but I have a feeling he can guard the Solar System. After all, it’s his homeland. Besides, Little Xun, you haven’t seen him in person. You have no idea how capable he is. Even if injured, he’s definitely not someone easily defeated."

"I get it. I hear you all mentioning him so much, so I looked him up. Didn’t he wipe out a small fleet of the Ru Lan Empire in the Solar System and then flaunted his power between our Auster Empire and the Ru Lan Empire? I know all that."

"And I’ve also read Earth’s history. Although the Earth people are quite similar to us Auster people, their beliefs are peculiar. Besides Jia Yan, they also worship something called the ’Giant Mosquito Tribe,’ what a strange species."

Little Xun didn’t seem very friendly towards Earth civilization and ’Jia Yan.’

Given that she became an Auster Princess at a young age, she had nearly forgotten her early childhood calamities, now left with merely her arrogant princely attitude.

She was very displeased that Earth civilization, as an elementary civilization, could so freely give orders to the Auster.

"Enough said. You know Lord Jia Yan’s strength, even if he’s injured. When you see him, you mustn’t be too disrespectful, or with just a word, he could obliterate our refugee fleet."

Feeling her sister’s hostility towards Earth civilization, Empress Xiaoya hastily stopped her.

"As for the ’Giant Mosquito Tribe’ on Earth, I’ve consulted scholars about them. The Giant Mosquito Tribe vanished just a few years ago, but much information on Earth can prove they once existed. However, where they are now, no one knows. But there’s no doubt they saved Earth before, so you mustn’t be too disrespectful towards this Giant Mosquito Tribe, understood?"

"Tsk, I can’t be disrespectful to Jia Yan, nor to Earth people. Now I can’t even be disrespectful to a species whose existence is uncertain. This princess role is indeed tiring."

Little Xun was nearly unhappy; she had never been so uncomfortable in all her years as a princess.

No matter how these two sisters conversed, the Auster refugee fleet continued unerringly rushing towards the Solar System.

In fact, after the emergence of the Great Empire, the Auster Empire also reaped significant benefits. For instance, the battleships they were currently piloting— all two thousand plus ships were advanced battleships from the Great Empire.

Previously, without contact with such advanced civilizations as the Great Empire, many important resources of the Auster Empire had remained unused. But then the Great Empire came, purchasing them in large quantities at low prices, allowing the Auster Empire to exchange for these vital two thousand advanced battleships.

Without this fleet, the fleeing Empress and her entourage, piloting their own empire-produced battleships, would take at least several years to reach Earth.

It has now been a month since the defense line battle at the Auster border ended.

After the battle ended, a thousand biochemical star region battleships began ravaging the Auster Empire’s territory. Although forces of the Auster Empire fiercely resisted everywhere, under overwhelming superiority, the vast empire still fell within a month.

In reality, several other civilizations similar to the Auster Empire faced similar fates.

Aside from the thousand external battleships wreaking havoc in the Auster Empire, there were also two similar fleets attacking surrounding civilizations.

These civilizations, unable to withstand, pondered the best defense point ahead...

Earth!

Though Earth civilization is not a powerful civilization, within it exists a being claimed to be the strongest in the Orion Arm.

Even if it’s rumored outside that this strong one has suffered severe injuries, even if he recovers, it’s impossible for him to return to his peak in just a month or two.

But a strong one is still a strong one. Even if this ’Lord Jia Yan’ is weak, he is definitely stronger than any strong one in the surrounding civilizations, and this is a recognized fact.

So it was only natural for them to decide to use their remaining forces to construct another defense line on Earth.

"Hey, sister, are we almost there? I think I see us approaching the Solar System on the star chart."

When Little Xun, who was playing with the smart brain, said this, indeed, a warning communication from afar reached the communication channel of the Auster exile fleet.

"Fleet ahead, this is the Earth Civilization’s galaxy. Please identify your force, or according to interstellar law, this civilization will regard your fleet as an enemy and commence an attack." frёewebηovel.cѳm

Receiving this message, the Auster fleet, which had already negotiated with the Earth Civilization, immediately sent their identity and the previously agreed-upon key information.

Soon, a human figure appeared in the communication channel.

"To the Auster people, the Earth Civilization welcomes you."

This was an officer from the External Command who was receiving the alien civilization. After saying these words, the Auster civilization was allowed to proceed.

"This is..."

When the Auster fleet entered the asteroid belt of the Solar System, the entire fleet fell silent for a moment.

They saw a scene that shocked them.

They did not see the expected strong defensive line, nor any advanced defense weapon system. On the contrary, they saw that on the outermost defense of Earth, there were just some artillery fire built on interstellar matter. And judging by the look of it, even if the Auster fleet stood there for artillery fire to attack, the artillery might not be able to penetrate the battleship armor for years.

"This... this is Earth’s defense!? This level of outer defense, even if we randomly find an interstellar matter place in the universe, the defensive fortifications built would be hundreds of times stronger than this, right."

A senior member of the Auster fleet almost murmured.

"Actually, it’s not surprising. Earth Civilization has just stepped into the universe as an elementary civilization. The battleships they can fly here, they can’t even build themselves. They can only rely on donations from other civilizations or purchase battleships from great empires. To be able to create such fortifications is considered good."

"Are we really doing the right thing by coming to Earth to co-defense? One must know, Lord Jia Yan is already seriously injured."

The soldiers’ shock and Doubts were the same among the high-level members inside the flagship.

Even Little Xun, who was with Empress Xiaoya, also realized Earth’s civilization’s backwardness.

"Sister, is this the Earth civilization defense line you mentioned? I think compared to our failed defense line, it’s hard to say how much worse it is. Sister, we better not stay on this Earth and escape towards the civilizations behind, anyway, the fleet’s energy is still sufficient."

Little Xun advised her sister.

"Uh, Little Xun, let’s go over and take a look first. Previously when Earth communicated with us over an ultra-long distance, they mentioned that Lord Jia Yan had thought of some solutions. Let’s go take a look, and if it really doesn’t work, then we can discuss leaving."

Empress Xiaoya, seeing Earth’s actual outer defense, also felt some regret.

Earth seems, perhaps, to be more backward than she imagined.

And under the guidance of an Earth battleship, progressing all the way, what the Auster fleet considered the real Earth defense line did not appear either.

It wasn’t until they got near Mars that they finally saw a defense line that looked somewhat decent.

"Welcome, valued members of the Auster Empire."

This was a line of over ten thousand small aircraft, composed of combat weapons. They were led by dozens of battleships, stationed near Mars.

"I see now, Earth’s population is too small. It’s impossible to defend an entire galaxy, so they only have forces in important places."

Some Auster high-level officials easily saw Earth’s greatest disadvantage at a glance.

But before they could think more, outside the Mars defense line, a battleship had already emerged, coming to the forefront of the Auster Empire’s two thousand battleships.

"We meet again, Auster Empress. I am Daphne, the diplomatic emissary of the Earth Defense Line. Earth’s defenses welcome your arrival."

"Time is too short, so now please, esteemed members of the Auster Empire, join us in the defense line’s training. Otherwise, I fear we won’t catch up with the upcoming war."
