Due to the war, the Orion Arm is fully preparing for combat. The current state of civilization has long departed from the normal starfield scope, with nearly everything tilted towards war, resulting in a distorted development.

Therefore, the Orion Arm needs some time to recover and heal; otherwise, the ordinary industrial chains will disappear, culminating in an irreversible starfield recession.

Jia Yan is pondering that once the Orion Arm completely finishes the current battle, it will require at least ten to twenty years to transition from the current combat type to a fully developed civilization.

Of course, this period of distorted development isn’t without rewards. At least Orion Arm, pressured by the immense force of the Allied Army and the resulting massive casualties, which previously led surrounding starfields to call it the ’Weaker Star Domain,’ has finally undergone a complete and dazzling transformation.

While it can’t be compared absolutely with a normal Galaxy Level Powerhouse starfield, at least among the many surrounding starfields, it already stands out as the definite strongest one.

Moreover, this period’s intense labor to build battleships and various military equipment, with military industry driving civilian industry and technological applications, like forcibly aiding plant growth has rapidly enhanced many aspects, indirectly improving technology. Although such improvement is limited to military levels, these enhancements will eventually manifest in civilian use, similarly to how Earth’s past post-war military technologies transformed into civilian technologies, significantly advancing human civilization.

Hence, the benefits to the Orion Arm are substantial.

Of course, all of this is premised on the Orion Arm safely passing through this war.

If the war is lost, then neither the Orion Arm nor Jia Yan himself has much future to speak of, with only a dim outlook ahead, waiting to be gradually slaughtered, while Jia Yan becomes ’Tang Monk Meat’ in the enemy’s mouth.

"Alright, these folks are almost done with their setup. In about a month, they should provoke the Orion Arm, turning this place into their chosen battlefield location, possibly selecting another battlefield to feign retreat while making this the final battleground."

Jia Yan has roughly figured out how the enemy might act, realizing they currently view this location as a perfect place to restrain Jia Yan. Hence, they won’t forgo attracting Jia Yan here. In the future, there will undoubtedly be some small maneuvers on this.

Thus, Jia Yan shouldn’t think about rushing into their ’trap,’ responding instead with their own techniques. Rather, he should proceed slowly, gradually entering the enemy’s trap, preventing any alarm, then drawing out all Galaxy Level Powerhouses, and then...

It’s the time for Jia Yan to shine!

"Great, let’s proceed like this. Hope there won’t be any surprises."

Jia Yan silently waits in the Starry Sky.

In fact, after understanding the enemy’s behavior patterns and thoughts, everything is easy to predict, similar to how the Allied Army can foresee the Orion Arm and Jia Yan’s intentions. Upon reaching warfare levels among Strong Ones and entire starfield levels, playing tricks is notably difficult. Moreover, after years of fighting, neither side can come up with any novel schemes.

Therefore, as predicted by Jia Yan, a month later, the battle erupted.

The initial scale was very small, akin to many war reenactments. This war began when two scouting battleships from either side accidentally encountered one another in a portion of the Starry Sky, slowly evolving into warfare.

It’s just that at the outset of this battle, countless people knew it wouldn’t be a minor skirmish.

The initial two scouting battleships from both sides might already be destroyed beyond recognition in the conflict, yet subsequent probing actions by both reconnaissance armies led to further combat.

Ultimately, the fleets from both sides were fully drawn into the war.

Both sides are confident yet wary of each other.

Hence, neither underestimated the enemy, fighting fiercely, battle brought True Fire.

"Ah ah ah, you Orion Arm weaklings, dare to fight us one-on-one!"

"Hahaha, what kind of talk is this from the Allied Army? Even if we outnumber you, we’re a level weaker. If not multiple against one, should a Respect Level challenge your Semi-permanent Star Level one-on-one? That’s foolish!"

"So infuriating, Orion Arm bastards, you’re so despicable!"

"It’s the Allied Army that’s shameless, slaughtering so many of our Orion Arm civilians. Do you still think we’re easy to bully?"

Across interstellar space, not only is the fighting and cannon fire ongoing, but also the above exchanges in insults.

Both sides are employing every possible tactic since the abilities of both have been laid bare. Hence, such propaganda tactics are also being utilized, even if they only slightly boost the chances of victory.

This is already an earnest war. Previously, the Allied Army cautiously engaging the Orion Arm, wary of a total extermination of the Orion’s Arm Army, causing Jia Yan to abstain from any appearance, has vanished without a trace.

Boom boom boom!

That said, apart from the insulting exchanges, the true warriors are still sacrificing themselves, joining the war with full dedication, resulting in countless soldier fatalities, achieving merely slight territorial advancements.
