quietly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fortress Core.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lawrence reclines on the throne.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In front of him floats a large light projection screen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Within the screen, two powerful figures appear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The emblems on their shoulders are adorned with four shining stars.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Haha!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Lawrence!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I heard you couldn’t even conquer an insignificant star realm and got injured here?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the screen, a middle-aged man with a rugged beard laughs boisterously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Valen Edwin, leader of the Celsa Eighth Fortress, like Lawrence, is one of the ten four-star generals of the Selza Civilization.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Lawrence!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We made a continuous long-distance space jump to get here, consuming a lot of resources.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Excluding the price you previously offered, you must also compensate for this portion of resources.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Compared to General Valen’s boisterousness, the other middle-aged man has a sharp, lean face and piercing deep-set eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Harry Roster, leader of the Celsa Seventh Fortress.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Selza Civilization, with over a millennium of accumulation, possesses ten super large interstellar fortresses, ranging from the First to the Tenth Fortress.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Among them, the overall strength of each major fortress can be directly seen from the ranking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The First Fortress is the strongest, and the Tenth Fortress is the weakest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, these three fortress leaders, the most powerful on the surface, is the Lord of the Seventh Fortress, General Harry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He is also an Eighteenth-tier Extreme Evolver, but compared to Lawrence and Valen, he is a step closer to Tier Nineteen, almost at half-step Tier Nineteen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If it were the leaders of the Third Fortress or above, they are all actual Tier Nineteen Evolvers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Heh—\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lawrence, seated on the throne, let out a cold laugh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The color of his face still bore a trace of weakness and pallor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Half a month ago, that ’Star Destroying Cannon’ almost caused him to stumble due to his carelessness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Precisely because of this, he paid the price of two uninhabited planets to summon the Seventh and Eighth Fortresses as reinforcements.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lawrence was not sure—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>whether the opponent still had a trump card like the Star Destroyer Battleship.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These two fortresses are more like the shields he recruited than reinforcement troops.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The real Lawrence died the moment he arrived.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The current Lawrence’s body harbors a soul from a high-dimensional civilization.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In his eyes, whether it is the Lord of the Seventh Fortress or the leader of the Eighth Fortress, they are all low-dimensional ants, not worth his attention.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This pretense is just to be on the safe side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That behind Carol...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"There’s a big secret!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lawrence was absolutely certain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When he first came to this star realm, he was merely interested in the suspected existence of a plundering talent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wanted to try to strip it and offer it as a gift at Miss Athena’s coming-of-age ceremony, which might allow him to enter Miss Athena’s circle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Subsequent developments made Lawrence realize that the secrets hidden in this star realm were far from simple.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"A bunch of low-tier civilization players who aren’t even Tier Ten, yet control more than a dozen interstellar fortresses?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The highest commander is no more than Tier Fourteen, but they command Tier Sixteen interstellar combat mechas?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And that damned Star Destroyer Battleship...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If this were not just a low-dimensional server, I would have thought I saw an Ophelia Federation Star River Battleship...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In Lawrence’s mind, thoughts kept swirling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the surface, he remained unfazed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He immediately complied with the ’resource compensation’ claimed by the Lord of the Seventh Fortress, General Harry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This straightforward reaction made the two fortress lords on the screen momentarily pause.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This doesn’t seem like Lawrence’s usual way.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That guy is usually too shrewd to suffer any losses.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They had this thought but did not think too much about it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their instinctive impression—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lawrence was truly angered by the opponents of this star realm, willing to pay extra costs to completely annihilate them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Buzz—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Buzz Buzz—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Waves of fluctuations spread from the Seventh and Eighth Fortresses.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This is the quantum detection device of the Super Large Fortress.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before long.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Both generals saw the detection analysis results presented by their subordinates.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hmm?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Only a mere five million people?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ranks... not even Tier Ten, no, except for the Commander-in-Chief, not even Tier Nine?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But such a weak force possesses a medium-sized fortress, ten small-scale fortresses, and numerous unknown warships and mechas?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Both generals, experienced and knowledgeable, were somewhat bewildered by the information from Carol’s side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"There is a secret!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In an instant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They immediately reached this judgment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The fortress lords both had unusual thoughts swirling in their minds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No wonder!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No wonder Lawrence would pay such a high price to invite them over for support...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Lawrence can swallow this secret, why can’t the Seventh and Eighth Fortresses?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rumble—!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These two fortresses didn’t even wait for Lawrence’s combat deployment before taking action.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One medium-sized fortress after another swept out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ships and spaceships of various types roared across the starry sky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Buzz—!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To prevent Carol and others from fleeing, they even activated the large gravitational wave relay units at full power to block the possibility of space jumps within this star realm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Heh—\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ninth Fortress Core.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lawrence, watching this scene, continued to smirk coldly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Greedy and foolish low-dimensional insects.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was exactly the scene Lawrence hoped to
