Chapter 2280: Trial Civilization: Five Major Forces

The Vice President of the Korki Civilization glanced at Barbara.

He smiled slightly and said, "It's a long story."

Since you're being so direct.

Then I will clarify the situation.

For a long time afterward.

It was all explained by this Vice President of the Korki Civilization.

First of all, as Barbara's secretary and His Majesty Zhao Chen had previously speculated.

The reason why the Korki civilization took the initiative to contact, meet, and even cooperate with the Xiaolong civilization after discovering its existence was because of this.

A large part of the reason is that they are indeed in a rather complicated situation right now.

The Korki civilization has now entered the T4 technology stage, but they did not provide details about its production capacity at that stage.

Barbara's secretary didn't ask any further questions about it.

The Kolki civilization also managed several star systems simultaneously.

In addition, the Korki civilization has now encountered more than forty trial civilizations.

Barbara's secretary was taken aback when she heard the number.

I only understood what was going on after I continued to investigate.

turn out to be.

In the development history of the Kolki civilization, the first half was actually similar to that of the Xiaolong civilization.

First, we were born in a star system, and fortunately, there were no other trial civilizations in this star system.

Afterwards, the Korki civilization encountered two trial civilizations in succession, and eliminated them.

It has entered a decade-long period of development.

Just as the Kolki civilization was preparing for rapid expansion and seeking new prey.

Unexpectedly, the Korki civilization was simultaneously attacked by two trial civilizations.

To be precise, it should be said that the combined forces of the two trial civilizations discovered it.

Both sides launched attacks on the Kolki civilization simultaneously.

Although the Kolki civilization had already reached T4 technology by this time.

However, within these two factions, the total number of trial civilizations exceeds seven!

It's equivalent to seven trial civilizations besieging one Kolki civilization.

The outcome was predictable.

The Kolki civilization soon lost a star system.

Just when it seemed the situation was about to collapse.

Another trial civilization emerged and sided with the Kolki civilization.

At this time, the Kolki civilization also learned about the current situation in the outside world.

It turns out that this is within this star system.

Several trial civilizations have already chosen to join forces.

They formed alliances.

There are now five known faction alliances!

The two forces that discovered their Kolki civilization were two of them.

They wanted to destroy the Korki civilization before other trial civilizations discovered it, and to devour its resources and star system.

Fortunately, the Korki civilization was discovered by the third trial force.

The third trial faction brought the Kolki civilization under its control.

Under such circumstances, it would be very difficult for the other two trial forces to swallow up the Korki civilization.

"Two against one?"

"Why don't they dare to make a move?" Barbara's secretary asked, somewhat puzzled.

"snort.

It looks like it's two against one.

You forgot, I just said that.

There are a total of five trial factions.

The other two trial forces won't be idle.

Once they find an opportunity while we're engaged in a chaotic battle, they won't hesitate to join in and feast.

Nobody wants their efforts to become a stepping stone for someone else," the Vice President of the Korki Civilization said with a shrug.

"Then you have discovered our Xiaolong civilization."

Why don't you just swallow us up?

"Instead, they contacted us directly," Barbara's secretary asked curiously.

"Because we want you to join us."

"Join us in our fight against the other trial forces," the Vice President of the Korki Civilization replied bluntly.

Secretary Barbara thought for a moment, then stared at the other party: "It was you who discovered that we already have T4-level interstellar warships."

Therefore, the time and cost required to swallow us would be enormous.

This is not good for your current situation.

Therefore, they chose to include us.

What if we are just a trial civilization with T3-level interstellar warships, or even just T2-level technology?

You will absolutely not hesitate to attack us.

That's right.

Vice President Korki smiled faintly.

There's already a lot to say in that smile.

"Regarding the current situation in the Trials of God."

More than 90% of the trial civilizations have already appeared.

And they all adopted this group-based approach.

If you do not choose to join a tour group.

Then your most likely outcome is that you will be eliminated by those united trial forces.

Even if your single trial civilization is powerful, it can't possibly be a match for several trial civilizations.

Moreover, even if your civilization manages to eliminate one trial force by chance, what happens if other trial forces launch an attack on you at that time? Could you possibly withstand it?

Barbara didn't care about her own question before the other person avoided her, since that question already had an answer.

She stared at the other party and asked, "Then why did we specifically choose your trial force?"

As you said, there are now five trial factions.

Then I have four other options.

Why can't I choose one of the other four factions?

Or do you have something that's enough to convince me?

The strongest?

The most powerful?

Or does it mean it possesses the largest galactic territory?

Faced with Barbara's barrage of attacks.

Vice President Korki calmly replied, "Neither."

Our position is the weakest among the five trial forces, and our star system territory is the smallest, so our status is naturally the lowest.

Barbara's secretary hadn't expected the other party to be so candid.

They immediately exposed their own shortcomings.

"Since your situation is so dire, why would our civilization choose to join you?" Secretary Barbara said with a mocking smile.

Vice President of the Korki Civilization said slowly, "Because we are your best choice."

The existence of the five civilizations is largely due to the need for balance.

The emergence of a new T4-level technological civilization, if you join one of the two trial forces ranked first and second in overall strength.

You will break this balance, and there is a high probability that a large-scale decisive battle will break out.

You won't have much say in those two trial forces, and you'll likely end up being the ones being ordered around.

In that case, do you think you still have a chance to have a place in the final competition of the Trial of God?

so.

Join us.

If we can strengthen our faction and bring the five forces into greater balance, we can buy you more time to develop.

This is beneficial to you.

At the same time, only within a trial force like ours.

Only then can you have an equal voice.

In the final battle of the trials of God, you will not become stepping stones for others.

The best doesn't necessarily mean the best for you.

Only what is most suitable is the best.

After listening to what the other party said.

Secretary Barbara had to admit that what the other party said was very persuasive.

As expected of the Foreign Minister attending this meeting.

"Then I need to know first whether you are suitable for betting."

Continue your story.

I need to know what the situation is like outside.

What kind of entities are the five trial forces outside?

The Vice President of the Korki Civilization raised his hand and activated a holographic projection.

You can see five different circles above.

They vary in size.

Within these five different circles, different interstellar civilizations are also written.

Currently, the Beast Alliance is the strongest in terms of military strength.

They call themselves the Beast Alliance because most of their trial civilizations are orcs, orc-related races.

It encompasses three trial civilizations and has a total of twenty-nine star systems.

Currently, they are all at the T4 technology stage.

The second largest is the Golden Eye Mutual Aid Association, which currently has five trial civilizations and covers thirty-five star systems.

The Triad Star Alliance has three trial civilizations and possesses twenty-five star systems.

The Crimson Flame Federation has four trial civilizations and possesses twenty-six star systems.

Ultimately, we were the one with the lowest overall strength.

The three trial star systems on the other side of deep space contain only nineteen star systems.

After hearing all of this...

Barbara's expression was somewhat complicated.

So it is calculated that...

These trial civilizations typically possess between six and ten star systems on average.

It should be noted that the Xiaolong Civilization currently directly governs six regions, and will soon indirectly control three more.

This tenth star system will likely be a piece of the pie for the Xiaolong civilization as well, barring any unforeseen circumstances.

Judging from the galaxy range alone, the territory of the Xiaolong civilization is quite large.

At that moment, Barbara's mind began to race.

That is, whether or not she should tell the other party the number of galaxies she owns.

Once the number of such a vast number of galaxies is made public, it will inevitably attract covetousness.

Whether it's coveting from within this other side of deep space or from other trial civilizations.

This will cause huge trouble for the current Xiaolong civilization.

But if we're talking about hiding it, how long can it be hidden?

This became a huge problem facing the Xiaolong civilization.

This is also the choice that Barbara's secretary must now make.

"Your Xiaolong civilization is currently at the T4 technological civilization stage. How many star systems do you have?" The vice president of the Korki civilization unsurprisingly posed this question.

The number of star system resources a trial civilization possesses is crucial to its development speed.

Barbara did not answer.

The Vice President of the Korki Civilization noticed Barbara's secretary's concern: "Are you worried that we know the coordinates of your Xiaolong Civilization's star system?"

It will be detrimental to you, right?

You can rest assured about that.

Although we are an alliance.

However, we do not require the other party to disclose their galaxy coordinates.

The only thing that needs to be disclosed is the number of legion fleets it possesses.

If you don't know this.

What happens next, beyond just combat missions, will become a major problem.

I hope you can understand.

Secretary Barbara thought for a moment and replied, "Currently, our Dragon civilization possesses six star system territories."

The calculations for the galaxy in front of us have not yet been performed.

As you know, we had just found this place when we ran into you.

We haven't fully controlled this galaxy yet.

Barbara wasn't lying.

Because the number of star systems that the Xiaolong civilization directly controls is indeed six.

Six!

It's not bad.

They're much better than me, at least.

Our Korki civilization has only possessed resources in five star systems so far, and this is the sixth we have found.

Of course, you don't need to worry about the allocation of this galaxy.

As a welcome gift for the newlyweds.

"You'll occupy two-thirds of this galaxy, and our Korki civilization will take one-third."

Before even agreeing to join, the other party had already thrown out sweet talk.

"May I know the total number of interstellar warships possessed by you and other trial forces?" Secretary Barbara asked another important question.

"And the number of interstellar warships of each class."

Vice President Korki raised his hand and opened another screen window.

"Our own number of interstellar warships currently totals 150,000."

This included 1,000 T4 starships, 100,000 T3 starships, and 50,000 T2 starships.

Of course, this is the data released by each of our three trial civilizations.

People might keep some of it to themselves.

As for exactly how much was hidden, nobody knows.

"You still have T2-class starships?" Secretary Barbara frowned slightly.

Vice President Korki understood what he meant and said helplessly, "We didn't want to either."

However, unfortunately, our overall strength is currently the weakest among the five forces.

Although the T2 starship is essentially cannon fodder among the starships of the five factions.

But it's better than nothing.

In addition, the Crimson Flame Federation currently has a total of 200,000 interstellar warships.

This included 1,500 T4 starships, 130,000 T3 starships, and 70,000 T2 starships.

They also retained a certain number of T2 interstellar warships.

However, according to our latest intelligence...

They have already phased out the T2 starship production line and handed it over to the civilian sector; they are currently using T3-level starships themselves.

Once all 70,000 of these last T2 interstellar warships are decommissioned...

Their fleet will then consist entirely of T3 and higher-class interstellar warships.

The three giants, Starfleet, ranked third, have a total of 200,000 active interstellar warships, including 1,500 T4 warships, 150,000 T3 warships, and 50,000 T2 warships.

Their fleet size is the same as that of the Crimson Flame Federation, but the difference lies in the number of T3-level interstellar warships.

The three of us mentioned above belong to the second tier among the five trial civilizations.

A fleet of this size can only be considered second-tier.

Just how powerful are the Beast Alliance and Golden Eyes Mutual Aid Association, which are considered to be at the top tier?

This piqued Barbara's curiosity.
