Speaking of which, although there were countless civilizations in this universe, seventy percent of the civilizations encountered by the Federation were humanoid creatures.
Of course, in the beginning, the scientists of the Federation thought that this was a coincidence.
However, as more and more civilizations were encountered, the proportion of humanoid creatures remained high.
All of this could no longer be explained as a coincidence.
In the end, Lin Hong's contact with Lin Fan revealed that humans, the Alphadians of ancient times, were the most perfect species in this universe and the only species that could be promoted to a god-level civilization.
Therefore, they suddenly realized that all of this was not a coincidence. It was because humanoid creatures were the most suitable species for survival in this universe. They were the beloved children of the universe.
Although the specific reason was limited by the level of civilization of the Federation, they still did not know.
However, this understanding had now become the consensus of the scientific community of the Federation.
Therefore, even if the Langdon Empire in front of them was also a humanoid creature and had a higher degree of similarity to humans, it would not cause the soldiers of the Federation to be surprised.
After all, this was too normal. Compared to the Langdon Empire, there were dozens of civilizations that had a higher degree of similarity to humans. In fact, their similarity could even reach seventy to eighty percent. Among the affiliated civilizations of the Federation, there were dozens of them.
Of course, they were almost exactly the same as humans. For example, angels, elves, and the Three-Eyed Race were another matter.
After all, these three races could be explained as branches of the Alphadian civilization. They were originally the same species as humans, only slightly mutated.

The First Fleet belonging to the First Galaxy Group Legio II of the Federation Expeditionary Force had now completely surrounded Lance's patrol fleet.
Moreover, the cannons of all the battleships were ready to fire. As long as Commander Liang Dong gave the order, the ten thousand Langdon Empire battleships surrounded in the middle would have no way to survive.
In the bridge, looking at Lance who was also wearing a military uniform and listening to his question, the corners of Liang Dong's mouth curled up slightly.
"Before answering your question, I'll announce three rules!"
"First, as long as your troops have any activity of charging the cannons, they will be annihilated on the spot!"
"Second, as long as your troops have any activity of external communication, they will be annihilated on the spot!"
"Third, as long as your troops have any activity of transition, they will be annihilated on the spot as well!"
Lance was dumbfounded.
This was too domineering!
However, so what if the other party was overbearing? Even if he was dissatisfied, Lance did not dare to act rashly.
At this moment, he was certain that this was definitely not a dynasty fleet or a pirate fleet. It was most likely a fleet from an unknown civilization.
Furthermore, this civilization was definitely much more powerful than his own empire.
Not to mention other things, just the means by which he came here was completely incomprehensible to Lance.
After all, the Langdon Empire where Lance was from was only a level-6 civilization, and the empire had never encountered an advanced civilization outside the system. Hyperspace technology was even more unheard of.
The most important thing was that Lance had a terrifying guess.
How did he know that he was here?
If this civilization was the one that caused the fall of Sela, and he had been here for no more than two minutes.
However, in less than two minutes, the enemy had already completed the entire process from discovering him to arriving and surrounding him!
Sela was a light-year away from here, and it was highly likely that the other party had crossed the distance in less than two minutes, or even less than a minute …
If his judgment was not wrong, the other party's superluminal means were even more advanced than space teleportation, right?
Could it be …
This was a civilization from an alien galaxy group, right?
"Your Excellency, I can temporarily follow your rules. Then, can you also tell me who you are, and which civilization you are from?"
After quickly running through various hypotheses in his mind, Lance asked in a low voice.
"We?"
"You will know, but not now!"
"As for now, follow us to Sela. Again, don't violate any of the rules I say, or you know the consequences!"
After saying that, Liang Dong did not care about Lance's confused expression and directly cut off the communication.
"Commander, some of the enemy's battleships are approaching us!"
In the battleship where Lance was, the adjutant anxiously reported while operating a video in the bridge.
In the video, tens of thousands of battleships emerged from the huge encirclement and headed toward the patrol fleet where Lance was.
"Don't do anything!"
"Yes, Commander, but …"
"No buts. Not being afraid of death and dying for nothing are two different things!"
"Yes, sir!"
Lance naturally had his own considerations. Obviously, the other party did not really want to kill all of them, so acting recklessly on this Intercepting Eye was no different from dying for nothing.
Since this was the case, it was more appropriate to follow the other party's instructions first, and then observe the situation before making a detailed plan.
Soon, more than 30,000 battleships had arrived at Lance's patrol fleet and were embedded in the formation.
Every two battleships were in a group, and they were positioned on both sides of an imperial battleship, and released several powerful emerald green tractor beams.
The imperial battleship was firmly fixed in the middle.
It did not take much time, and a total of 10,000 battleships were dealt with in the same way.
What are they going to do?
Are they going to rely on the tractor beams to drag us to Sela?
A distance of one light year … and relying on the tractor beams to drag us, the speed would definitely not exceed 30,000 kilometers per second.
Going to Sela like this?
Wouldn't it take a few decades?
Lance looked at the scene in front of him, completely unable to understand what the other party was trying to do.
However, in the next moment, the scene in front of him caused his brain to crash.
Other than the 20,000 battleships, the remaining 10,000 battleships were arranged in a strange formation in front of the fleet.
This formation did not look like it was for offense or defense. It merely formed a huge circle.
"Commander, the hyperspace array is ready and can be activated at any time!"
In the flagship bridge of the First Fleet, the adjutant stood behind Liang Dong and reported.
"Activate immediately!"
"Yes, Commander!"
When the order was given, the 10,000 battleships that formed a circle turned on a strange device, and a dazzling white light constantly flashed.
After just three seconds, the entire void seemed to pause, and a huge blue vortex-shaped hyperspace window was instantly broken in the circle!
This …
This was one of the Federation's latest technological achievements, the hyperspace array.
By synchronizing the hyperspace engines of multiple battleships, a larger hyperspace window could be opened for a certain period of time.
"This is …"
In the battleship where Lance was, everyone was petrified at this moment …
