Lan Jue's Suggestion

"The animulae itself is a form of energy and a very powerful one at that. This leads us to a question. For the three alien planets, what losses are they unwilling to bear? The loss of the animulae must be part of it. Assuming that the real predators are only the three planets themselves, then that means that all the other predators are their appendages, including their animulae. They are all part of the three predators. Based on our analysis, we gathered that this is the reason why the aliens didn't send more aliens out when Dino Bastion arrived. If Captain Lan Jue had led the Skyfire Squadron to investigate later, the losses suffered by the Dino Bastion and the four space fleets would have been even greater."
