Once the three super civilizations made their move, the Sun River Empire was put in an awkward position.
The fleet that originally planned to support the Juertes Star System Group had to give up and focus on supporting the main battlefront.
Leon could only hope that the Lothar Republic could hold off the enemy for a day.
Otherwise, even if the Juertes Star System Group was protected, the main battlefront would be torn apart by the anti-SunRiver faction. This would be an even bigger problem.
Needless to say, Artra's timing was quite good.
The flames of war instantly engulfed the entire Tulga Supercluster. It was as if the final battle was about to begin.
-----
An hour had passed since the Federation entered the battle at Tulga.
The Lothar Republic, which had not received any reinforcements, was now in an extremely dangerous situation.
The defense line had lost its purpose. After losing the geographical advantage, the defending army had to engage the Federation fleet.
Even though they still had the advantage of numbers, in front of the rampaging Black Armor Fleet and the powerful Netherworld Fleet, it was almost a foregone conclusion that they would be defeated.
With the arrival of the Netherworld Fleet and the expansion of the safe zone to hundreds of AU, three black passages were opened in the safe zone.
The efficiency of the ocean current channel was too slow. The black passage was the second stage that Lin Fan had prepared. It was also the best way to quickly transport a large number of troops.
This allowed the Federation to increase the efficiency of transporting troops by hundreds of times.
The Federation's main fleet and the Moi's fleet continued to arrive at the battlefield. At this rate, in about two hours, the numbers between the two sides would be completely reversed.
In the command center behind the Lothar Republic's front line, Spiet was in a terrible state. He had no way to stop the situation from worsening.
"General, the reinforcements from the Sun River Empire will take at least half a day to arrive, but we … Let alone half a day, it's hard to say if we can even last two hours!"
"How can I not know this? But don't forget, we are different from the anti-SunRiver Empire civilizations. The Republic is located in the inner area of the Sun River Empire. Even if they order us to die here, we have to obey. Otherwise, the Republic will be wiped out in an instant!"
Spiet said helplessly.
In fact, in the Sun River Empire's camp, not all civilizations wanted to submit.
After all, the Sun River Empire's tribute policy was too greedy.
But there was no other way. His civilization was located in the territory of the Sun River Empire. If he joined the anti-Sun River Empire camp, wouldn't the Sun River Empire directly destroy him?
Thus, no matter how dissatisfied they were, the Lothar Republic could only submit to the Sun River Empire.
After hearing what Sbet said, the aide couldn't refute it.
This was a hopeless situation, and the only thing they could do for their civilization was to die here.
Only then could the Lothar Republic continue to exist.
"Inform every soldier of the stakes in the form of a broadcast in the fleet. Then, command the fleet to maintain the frontline and fight with our lives!"
"Yes, Marshal!"
At the same time, Lin Fan was in the First Grandmist Battleship.
After the Black Armor Fleet and the Netherworld Fleet had completely destroyed the enemy's defense line and established a safe zone, Lin Fan had already arrived at the Jurtes Star System through the black passage.
Lin Fan frowned as he looked at the real-time simulation of the battlefield in front of him.
Clearly, many of the enemy's fleets showed signs of collapse just now, and many of them even turned around and fled.
But at this moment, they suddenly stabilized, and even those who had fled previously turned around and returned to the frontline.
This didn't seem normal at all.
"Marshal, this situation is a bit abnormal!"
On Lin Fan's right, Liang Xue, who was the adjutant, also frowned and said.
"Indeed, it's indeed abnormal for the fleets to return to the frontline and fight for their lives!"
"Generally speaking, the most likely reason for such a change is that the deserters are threatened by something, a threat that can even make the deserters come back to die. But what exactly is this?"
"Family?"
"Or … has it risen to the level of the entire civilization?"
Although Lin Fan had some guesses, he still couldn't be sure.
"Marshal, why don't we try to contact the other party, maybe we can end this battle directly?"
"That's true, after all, the sooner we end this, the sooner we can have a greater advantage before the other party can react!"
Hearing this, Lin Fan nodded and said.
Even if the battle continued, Lin Fan could ensure that within three hours, all of the remaining five trillion battleships would be wiped out.
But who knew how long it would take for the other party to send reinforcements, and how powerful these reinforcements would be.
Moreover, with how desperate the other party was, while he was annihilating all of them, the Federation's fleet would also suffer some losses.
Therefore, if he could win through negotiations, Lin Fan was naturally willing to see it happen.

Lothar Republic command center.
"Marshal Spet, we received a set of communication signals, the source of the signal is the enemy!"
"Should we connect it?"
The deputy came to Spet's side and asked.
"No need, there's nothing to talk about!"
"Yes, Marshal!"
"Wait!"
Just as the deputy was about to reject the communication signal, Spet suddenly shouted again.
"Marshal?"
"Connect it. Although there's nothing to talk about, I'm also curious which one of the three super civilizations they are from!"
"Yes, Marshal!"
The deputy did not think much and directly connected the communication to the command center.
However, when Lin Fan's figure appeared, Spet was stunned.
The next moment, under everyone's shocked gaze, Spet directly knelt on the ground with one knee.
"Sir!"
What's going on?
This scene made even Lin Fan dumbfounded, not to mention the command center and the rest of the Lothar Republic.
In ordinary civilizations, there were indeed very few civilizations that had seen the Alphaids, but coincidentally, the Lothar Republic was fortunate enough to have seen them, and that time, the marshal of the Republic, Spet, was also there to accompany them.
The moment he saw Lin Fan, he immediately recognized that this was definitely an Alphaid.
"Sir, since your sudden disappearance, the entire universe is now in chaos, and our Lothar Republic has been forcefully tied to the Sun River Empire's war chariot, we have no choice but to obey!"
"In order to protect my family, in order to protect the Lothar Republic …"
Lin Fan instantly understood.
This was treating him as the Alphaid Civilization, and his previous doubts had been resolved. The reason why they were fighting to the death at this moment was to ensure the survival of their civilization.
In this case, there was indeed room for negotiation!
Yes, as the representative of the Alphaid Civilization in the Cang Dragon Universe!
