Starting with God's perspective, how to lose an interstellar war?

Although they didn't gather much intelligence due to the distance.

However, they were able to deduce that a new civilization had arrived.

This was thanks to the Tonghe civilization's war against human civilization.

Even when the reconnaissance fleets of the Tonghe civilization detected warships of the Fishman civilization, they would subconsciously mistake them for warships of the human civilization.

As for human civilization, compared to the passive detection buoys that are ubiquitous in deep interstellar space, the warships of the fish-man civilization are as conspicuous as flashlights.

Qin Beiwang simply ignored it because the other side had not taken any large-scale action.

Soon, the scouting fleet of the merfolk civilization transmitted the intelligence it had gathered back to the Coral Fortress.

On the bridge, President Hyde sat in a large chair that resembled coral.

Just then, the communications officer reported to the superior.

"Reporting to the Commander-in-Chief, intelligence has been sent by the reconnaissance fleets including the Sea Worm!"

Upon hearing this, Hyde jumped up from his seat.

He urged impatiently, "Tell me quickly, what are the specific details of the battle?"

At this moment, everyone's eyes on the bridge were focused on the communications officer.

They were overjoyed when they learned that human civilization had been invaded by other civilizations.

They wished they could join the other side and beat up human civilization together.

If it weren't for the fact that the Grand Commander hadn't suppressed them by claiming that the new civilization hadn't yet made contact with them and might also be hostile towards them, they would probably have already joined the war.

The communications officer glanced at it and then spoke.

"The new civilization participating in this war is the Tonghe Civilization!"

Upon hearing the name Tong Hewen, the previously enthusiastic crowd immediately lost interest, and their faces revealed expressions of disgust.

"So it was Tong Hewenming, those damned human traffickers!"

"This time they've set their sights on human civilization; they've probably just asked for trouble!"

"If I weren't outmatched, I would have joined human civilization and given them a good beating."

...For the fish-men, the evil of the Tonghe civilization far surpasses that of human civilization.

They are notorious throughout the universe for their penchant for enslaving people.

Even their fish-man civilization had many members who had been plundered by small groups of Tonghe civilization's troops.

At first, they were unaware of Tonghe Civilization's strength, but after a battle, they suffered a loss.

Based on the principle that if they couldn't win, they could always hide, they shrank their territory back to a few initial star systems, including the Fanhai star system.

Even so, they were still targeted by the Zerg.

This is also why Tong Hewenming did not bother them again.

After all, the other party didn't want to be targeted by those disgusting Zerg guys.

Meeting an old friend in a foreign land is like encountering foul water in a low mountain.

It's disgusting.

At this moment, some tide commanders hurriedly made suggestions.

"Great Leader, the Tonghe civilization is quite powerful; otherwise, they wouldn't have forced us to retreat to a few star systems. Could we take this opportunity to initiate a second round of peace negotiations with human civilization?"

In exchange for a habitat, they will join forces to resist the invasion of the Tonghe civilization!

"Yes, Your Excellency!"

The strange force field of the Tonghe fleet can nullify our resonant cutting beam.

We suffered a lot back then!

I'm afraid even the human fleet wouldn't be able to cope with that strange force field.

"Even Qin Beiwang, hailed as a hero of the Federation, would be helpless against that strange force field, wouldn't he?"

……

However, faced with their cacophony of suggestions...

Hyde remained silent.

He only spoke to the communications officer after everyone had quieted down.

"Go on, what happened next?" the communications officer stammered.

"It seems the Tonghe fleet has been driven away!"

Upon hearing this, the people on the bridge immediately erupted in chaos.

"What?"

Even the Tonghe Fleet… that Tonghe Fleet with its strange force field couldn't defeat the human fleet?

"Could it be fake?"

Did we gather the wrong information again?

Let's not end up like Sue Lekharin, bringing back another false intelligence.

Once is enough for this kind of thing!

"Communications officer, are you kidding me?"

How could Tonghe's fleet possibly lose to a human fleet?

...Just when all the Tide Commanders were unable to accept this fact, Hyde raised his hand.

"quiet!

"Communications officer, do you think this intelligence is true?"

The communications officer said with a wronged expression.

"President, I also hope this is false information."

But that is indeed the case.

The sea worm reconnaissance fleet relentlessly pursued the fleeing Tonghe fleet.

Upon hearing the communications officer's affirmative answer, the Tide Commanders felt as if the sky had fallen.

However, some optimistic Tide Commanders were quite pleased with themselves.

"That's good too. At least it shows that our defeat to human civilization wasn't unjust."

After all, even a powerful civilization like the Tonghe civilization had its fleet driven away by humans.

"They've avenged our clansmen who were previously plundered." These words immediately drew the ire of some of the Tide Leaders.

"What's wrong?"

Is there a way to win even when you're losing?

"A competition to see who's worse, is that it?"

Should we thank humans?

……

At that moment, Hyde raised his hand again.

Soon, the quarreling Tide Lord quieted down again.

At Hyde's prompting, the communications officer continued.

"The Tonghe Fleet and the human fleet first fought a battle outside the Hanshan Galaxy, and then had a decisive battle inside the Yuegui Galaxy."

Ultimately, Tonghe's fleet was defeated and fled.

"They are currently heading into deep interstellar space, and their exact destination is unknown." At this moment, another Tide Lord suggested.

"Commander, Tong Hewen has suffered a setback, and he certainly won't let it go."

They're probably going somewhere to lie low and wait for reinforcements.

Why don't we cooperate with the Tonghe civilization and divide up human civilization together?

"That's right, Commander-in-Chief, our advantage lies in our relatively abundant military strength."

Now, after a period of rest and recuperation...

Our military strength has recovered to 55 billion warships.

"It can be considered a legion-level fleet at least!"

……

Suddenly, some of the Tidemasters remembered the Zerg army.

He quickly replied.

"If we're going to cooperate with the Tonghe civilization, then there's no need to bring the Zerg army here. Otherwise, even if we defeat human civilization, this habitat will eventually fall into the hands of the Zerg."

At this moment, all eyes were on Hyde, awaiting his final decision.

Hay De slowly walked to the porthole and stood still.

Gazing at the vast starry sky outside the porthole, he couldn't help but hesitate.

He now faced two paths, but neither of them was easy to take.

Peaceful negotiations with humans are probably out of the question, especially given the crushing defeat of Tonghe's fleet; there's simply no point in them negotiating.

As for the remaining two paths...

One option is to continue luring the Zerg fleet to force humanity into peace negotiations, but this could end in mutual destruction.
