System: My Doomsday Train-Chapter 964 - 361: "Will They Fall for It?

"If that’s the case, then there’s nothing to fear from the last one."

"We..."

"Seems like we’re invincible now."

"Is there any need to hold a meeting? Let’s simply crush them with the force of thunder."

"Pig Train Captain."

Biaozi spoke somewhat helplessly: "Master Mang means how to suppress them. The train currently lacks strong means of suppression. If we use Two-dimensional Foil, we’ll lose resources, so it’s about how to quickly destroy all living forces of the Cyan Mountain Civilization while preserving resources."

"This... seems to be difficult."

Old Pig shook his head after thinking for a while: "If we don’t use Two-dimensional Foil, once the Cyan Mountain Civilization discovers they’re under attack, they’ll definitely leave and launch a counterattack, which in itself will consume a lot of resources."

"If they find they are truly unmatched."

"They will destroy all resource depots before demise or take all resources and prepare to escape, just like the Good Cat Civilization."

"Oh, right."

Old Pig suddenly realized: "Or we could force the Cyan Mountain Civilization to reach that point? When they are ready to gather all resources and escape, we appear and capture them all, like we did with the Good Cat Civilization."

"Then the problem returns," Biaozi said helplessly: "If you don’t use a method like Two-dimensional Foil, you can’t force them to that point. They’ll always feel they can fight, and once a stalemate forms, resources will be consumed like flowing water."

"Once you use Two-dimensional Foil, everything is gone."

"Moreover..."

"We still don’t know if the Cyan Mountain Civilization has a means to resist Two-dimensional Foil." 𝑓𝘳𝘦𝑒𝑤𝑒𝘣𝘯ℴ𝘷𝘦𝓁.𝑐𝑜𝑚

"Also not right..." Old Pig spoke again.

...

Sitting on the train, Chen Mang patiently listened to everyone’s opinions. Though many were unusable, the clash of ideas provided him with plenty of inspiration.

His strength was currently at an awkward stage.

If weaker, he wouldn’t even consider this matter, just flee, or fight desperately.

If stronger, he could strongly suppress, taking everything.

In this awkward stage.

He had to begin making choices.

He truly was reluctant for those resources rightfully his to be consumed wastefully in warfare, such a waste.

"What about... encircle and attack aid?"

Ai hesitated and spoke: "We could swallow the resources of this army first, then wait for the Cyan Mountain Civilization to send reinforcements repeatedly, and then we devour them one by one. Finally, when the Cyan Mountain Civilization realizes, we infiltrate their interior."

"Will they fall for it?"

Chen Mang frowned and asked: "A level 6 civilization, with countless advisors, would they make such simple mistakes?"

"Let’s try."

...

After unifying opinions.

Chen Mang didn’t think further; many things can’t be figured out just by thinking. It’s only by doing and constantly improving that answers are found.

Next moment—

The Constant Star Train quickly jumped through the wormhole, hiding its component information, without using the domineering method of "seizing AI control," fearing it might scare away the subsequent reinforcements.

Instead, relying solely on the train’s strength.

Continually firing with the Akanon Light Energy Main Cannon at level 700.

After a hard-fought ten minutes, it finally swallowed these seven trains.

Captured a total of 10.6 units of iron ore foundation.

The last train had been charging, preparing to use 10 units of iron ore foundation to fire a 1000-level main cannon, which he urgently intercepted by taking over the AI control of the opponent’s train to prevent this firing.

Not just because of feeling distressed over iron ore.

More importantly, in case his train could withstand a 1000-level main cannon—this information being transmitted back; he feared it would scare the reinforcements away.

...

The universe is silent.

This quickly-ended war attracted no attention from any civilization, while the information captured and sent back through these trains slightly satisfied Chen Mang, who tried to hide his identity as the Constant Star Train, and it seemed he succeeded.

The message sent back by the opponent.

Didn’t involve any mention of the Constant Star Train.

But rather...

"A train from an unknown civilization attacked our army. The strength was overwhelming, unstoppable. Requesting aid, requesting aid..."

"Pretty good."

Chen Mang nodded with satisfaction; a level 6 civilization surely has delay-free communication methods, so the information should already be transmitted back to the Cyan Mountain Civilization; he should be waiting for reinforcements now.

However—

"Wait!"

Chen Mang suddenly felt bewildered, looking at the Doppler radar map, only to see the Cyan Mountain Civilization, almost at its fastest speed, sealing the entirety of its territory and nearby regions with Space Seal!

This means!

No one in the Cyan Mountain Civilization can create wormholes to leave the Cyan Mountain Civilization.

Similarly, no one can create wormholes to enter the Cyan Mountain Civilization.

It’s like putting themselves under a tortoise shell.

This scenario...

Wasn’t like he imagined!

"You’ve got to be kidding me."

Chen Mang murmured as he gazed at the Doppler radar in a daze: "Simply an external army, annihilated by a train from an unknown civilization, with no other news, and the train didn’t show any absolute crushing stance."

"The Cyan Mountain Civilization became a turtle hiding its head?"

"They aren’t even willing to send anyone to take a look?"

"Isn’t this too cautious..."

He knew that many advanced civilizations in the universe are both arrogant and cautious, extremely arrogant facing weaker civilizations, but extremely cautious facing stronger civilizations.

But he didn’t expect such caution.

After a long silence.

He couldn’t help but sigh and raise a thumb, impressive!

Even as an opponent, he had to admire their caution.

No wonder they’re a level 6 civilization; with this level of caution, a level 7 civilization also seems possible in the future.
