Chapter 184: Civilization Exposed.
On Planet Sierra, in the Imperial Palace.
At this moment, the one sitting in the main seat was not Imran, but Babaweiler. Imran and Harun were only standing on the side.
This was the difference between a Level 3 and Level 4 Civilization. Even if the other party was not the Emperor of a Level 4 Civilization, the Emperor of the Level 3 Civilization had to bow and pay respects.
“Now that I’m here, tell me more about this matter!”
After sitting down, Babaweiler said.
The only thing he wanted to know was whether what Harun said about there being a new Level 4 Civilization was true or not.
“Yes, Lord Babaweiler! The thing is, there is a Civilization called the Io Federation on the edge of the Sierra Empire. I believe Lord Babaville should know about them.”
“Well, I know this Io Federation, I have been there.”
Babaweiler nodded.
He indeed knew about the Io Federation and had been there several times. He even admitted that the exquisite and beautiful architecture of the Io Federation had left a deep impression on him.
“We were fortunate enough to obtain hundreds of thousands of your Empire’s warships, so we waged a war against them as revenge for the past years. At the beginning, it went very well, but then…”
“What happened after?”
Babaweiler knew the strength of the Io Federation, and they were much worse than the Sierra Empire. If not for the fact that the Star Path was favorable for the defenders, the Io Federation would have been long destroyed by the Sierra Empire.
“Hundreds of thousands of warships with Energy Shields and Warp Engines suddenly appeared on the battlefield!”
“Wait!”
Babaweiler stopped Imran, staring at him with deadly eyes.
“Did you just say ‘hundreds of thousands of warships with Energy Shields and Warp Engines.’? Are you sure you meant ‘the’ Warp Engine?”
“Yes, Lord Babaweiler, I’m sure. They arrived to Vion through the Warp Engines. It was a real Level 4 Civilization fleet, not a Quasi-Level 4. We were helpless against them.”
Imran gritted his teeth, while Babaweiler, on the throne, was gloomy.
If Imran and Harun did not lie to him, then this was a big problem.
The Babawi Empire could rule the Orion’s Arm Branch because of the Warp Engines.
But once others get access to them, it would pose a direct threat to the rule of the Babawi Empire.
For context, among Level 3 Civilization, even the worst one had three or five million warships in their arsenal. If there were more than 100 Level 3 Civilizations on the Orion’s Arm Branch, the total number of warships together would nearly be one billion. If all of these warships were equipped with Energy Shields and Warp Engines…
Babaweiler did not dare to think about it. The only thing in his mind was: They must destroy this new Level 4 Civilization!
“Go out, I want to contact the Empire!”
“Yes!”
Without any hesitation, Imran and Harun immediately retreated, even though this was Imran’s audience room.
A few dozen seconds later, another figure like that of Babaweiler appeared in the audience room.
“Babaweiler, it’s you. Aren’t you supposed to be conducting business right now?”
“Emperor, I am currently about 20,000 light years away from the Empire, in a Level 3 Civilization called the Sierra Empire; the same Civilization that gave us the Level 5 warship!”
“Oh, the Sierra Empire, I indeed have an impression of them. The warship is currently being studied by the Empire’s experts day and night, what have they unearthed there?”
The Emperor of the Babawi Empire, Babarea, asked curiously.
“Emperor, something big may happen this time…”
Babaweiler then relayed the information that Imran had just said in detail. At this time, Babarea’s face changed completely.
This was not a trivial matter, but a big enough event that would destroy the Babawi Empire’s domination of the Orion’s Arm Branch.
“Babaweiler, you need to find out what this Level 4 Civilization is about. How far has it developed, and assess whether we can destroy them. If so, how many troops do we need to use?”
“Understood, Emperor!”
War was not a child’s play, and the Babawi Empire would not send their troops blindly.
However, surveying for information of the enemy difficulty was not an easy task. After all, they can’t just barge into the latter’s territory.
“Notify me immediately of the latest news!”
“Yes!”
After cutting off the communication, Babaweiler let Imran and Harun enter the room again.
“I need to know more about that Level 4 Civilization, what can you do?”
Babaweiler thought for a moment and asked Imran. The latter were the locals, and they did not know what was going on here as much as the latter.
“My Lord, that mysterious Level 4 Civilization and the Io Federation are very close. If my Lord pretends not to know and goes to the Capital Circle of the Io Federation for business as usual, you should be able to obtain a lot of information. There might even be a chance to see that mysterious Civilization!”
“That’s one way. I will go there! If this incident can be solved, the Sierra Empire would be rewarded more than handsomely!”
Babaweiler’s eyes lit up. Imran’s suggestion had given him great inspiration.
Satisfied, he nodded and left after saying a few words.
Imran and Harun were overjoyed. The last reward to obtain was a fortune. They were rewarded with 360,000 Level 4 Civilization warships! This time…
Thinking of this, Imran’s drool threatened to fall. What he didn’t know was that he had actually pushed his entire Empire into the abyss.
Meanwhile, Babaweiler returned to the warship with the escorts, and then set off for the Capital Circle of the Io Federation.
