Chapter 377: Ants Have Learned to Build Walls?

"Ants…… have learned to build walls?"

This discovery not only failed to anger it; instead, it sparked a hint…… of interest.

For hundreds of millions of years, it has been repeating the same thing: sowing, waiting, harvesting.

In its eyes, all civilizations are merely different ingredients; the process is uniform and tedious.

And now, in this little pasture, something actually different has appeared.

This is far more interesting than mere harvesting.

……

Heavenly Heart Command Center.

On the huge star map, outside the golden bulwarks representing the Great Wall, countless intense flashing red points suddenly burst forth.

Each red point represents a failed dimensional jump attempt.

Those densely packed red points almost completely encircled the entire Great Wall bulwark.

"Report, Chief Commander!"

From the commander's throne, Nangong Lin's voice was calm and clear, echoing within the command hall.

"Detected large-scale, high-frequency dimensional jump failure responses outside the Great Wall!"

"Based on energy signature analysis, it is confirmed as the Devourer civilization."

"Preliminary estimates put the enemy fleet at over three trillion."

"The enemy…… has arrived!"

Those last four words made the atmosphere in the command hall, which had just relaxed, tense again.

Although Qin Hao had already explained the Overlord's weakness, the figure of three trillion warships still imposed enormous pressure on everyone.

That meant the Yanhuang Civilization would have to face thirty to one.

This is an unprecedented super war.

Everyone's eyes were focused on Qin Hao, awaiting his command.

Qin Hao watched the ever-spreading darkness on the screen, watched the dense red alert points, and the corners of his mouth twitched upward slightly.

Everything was within his expectations.

The Great Wall plan successfully blocked the enemy's first wave of assault.

Now it was their turn to play their cards.

"Convey my orders."

Qin Hao's voice was not loud, but full of authority.

"Order the First through Tenth United Fleets to assemble in the Great Wall interior defense zones A-1 through A-10."

"All God Might-class warships, end silent status, begin charging main guns."

"It's time to let our guests feel the enthusiasm of the Yanhuang Civilization."

"Yes!"

With Nangong Lin's orders issued, the entire war machine of the Yanhuang Civilization began to rumble into operation.

However, just then, a voice sounded.

"Chief Commander!"

Zhang Xianzhong's projection stepped forward, his expression solemn, and he said:

"Our forces are vastly outnumbered; our fleet numbers only a hundred billion, thirty times fewer than the enemy!"

"Although we have the Great Wall to rely on, a direct confrontation would still exact a heavy toll on us!"

Zhou Shaoqing also chimed in: "Yeah! The Overlord's power far surpasses ours; the Great Wall may not always be able to block its attacks."

"I suggest we immediately activate the final contingency plan—the Ark Plan!"

"Using the Heavenly Skull Fortress and the Dimensional Ark as cores, to transfer the civilization's fire seed,"

"preserve our living strength! We need not fight them to the death here!"

"Ark Plan"

……

This was the last trump card Qin Hao left behind.

In the worst-case scenario, abandoning two star systems, leading the civilization's core elite aboard the Dimensional Ark to escape,

to wander the universe in search of a new home.

Many senior leaders showed expressions of agreement.

In their view, this was the most stable and rational choice.

As long as the green hills remain, we need not worry about lack of firewood.

However, Qin Hao directly vetoed their proposal.

His gaze swept over Zhang Xianzhong and Zhou Shaoqing; his tone was flat, yet carried an irrevocable resolve.

"Run?"

"There is no such word in my dictionary."

Qin Hao's voice echoed in the silent command hall, each word landing with weight.

Zhang Xianzhong, Zhou Shaoqing, and the other military leaders were all stunned.

They had thought Qin Hao would weigh the pros and cons, consider the importance of preserving the fire seed.

But they never expected him to refuse so bluntly, so decisively.

"But, Chief Commander!"

Zhang Xianzhong still wanted to persuade, "This is no time for hot-headedness! This is a decision concerning the survival of our entire civilization! With a thirty-fold disparity in forces, we…"

"Who said we only have a hundred billion fleet?"

Qin Hao interrupted him and retorted.

Zhang Xianzhong stared: "Our Divine Might-class fleet, after four hundred years of frenzied troop buildup, really only has this number..."

"That was before."

Qin Hao's mouth curled into a mysterious smile.

He no longer paid attention to everyone's doubts; instead, in his mind, he issued a simple yet crazy command to the long-dormant system.

"System."

"Using the Divine Might II Warship as a template, carry out mass replication."

【Command received.】

【Scanning template unit "Divine Might II"... Scan complete.】

【Calculating energy required for individual replication... Calculation complete.】

【Please input the replication quantity.】

Qin Hao's gaze turned to the patch on the star map representing the enemy fleet.

His heart stirred, "Let's start with... five trillion ships."

【Quantity confirmed: five trillion.】

【The required energy is huge, it will empty 85% of the host's current reserves; confirm execution?】

"Confirmed."

Qin Hao hesitated not at all.

Energy can be replenished if lost, but if we lose this battle, we lose everything.

【Command confirmed, beginning execution...】

The next second.

The system's energy began to be consumed at a visible, frantic pace.

At the same time.

Outside the Command Center, in the vast void within the Great Wall.

Behind the star field where the First through Tenth United Fleets had assembled.

Space began to exhibit strange fluctuations.

Brand-new Divine Might II Warships appeared out of thin air!

Ten thousand, a hundred thousand, a million...

Their appearance frequency grew faster and faster, the range expanding wider!

At first, they only appeared in a small area.

But soon, within the vast space of several light-years radius of the entire pre-assembly area,

everything began to pop out brand-new warships like dumplings boiling, endlessly appearing out of thin air!

This scene was captured by the monitoring system and displayed in real time on the star map in the Command Hall.

"Report! Report!"

A technician responsible for monitoring the fleet assembly jumped up from his seat, his voice cracking from extreme shock.

"Behind the A-1 through A-10 Defense Zones, detected... detected massive warship signals!"

"The number... the number is climbing exponentially!"

"Where... where did this fleet come from?!"

The entire Command Hall, aside from those who knew Qin Hao had a system, was stunned speechless by this sudden change.

"Such a huge number of warships? Could the enemy have broken through the Great Wall Fortress?!"

Someone's first reaction was exactly that.

"No!"

Qian Yin immediately denied it, "All the signal IDs are our Divine Might II! They're friendly forces!"

"Friendly forces?"

"Where did all these friendly forces come from?"

"The entire Yanhuang Civilization's fleet is already here!"

Everyone went crazy.

They watched the star map, where the green dots representing the friendly fleet rose rapidly from the initial hundred billion.

"Two hundred billion..."

"One trillion..."

"Five trillion!"

In just a few minutes.

A massive fleet of five trillion ships, composed of the most advanced Divine Might II Warships,

had assembled right under everyone's noses!

They hovered silently within the Star Great Wall Fortress, arranged in neat attack formations.

That boundless steel torrent, that murderous aura, almost burst through the star map and hit us in the face!

Inside the Command Hall, a deathly silence.

Everyone was as if paralyzed, mouths agape, unable to utter a word.

A senior officer stared at the star map now dyed green by the massive fleet, muttering to himself, voicing the question on everyone's mind.

"This... where were these warships produced? Why is there no record?"
