The operation to develop the fleet was divided into three batches.
The first batch, the Star, and three thousand Pangu-class battleships, under the direct command of Jiang Xingchen, arrived first and headed straight for Leopold's defense line.
The second batch, 23,000 Zhurong-class warships, arrived three months later under the command of Chief of Staff Rear Admiral Luo Fei (former Star Sea Federation Admiral, currently Federation Rear Admiral and Chief of Staff of the Development Fleet).
After all, the Zhurong-class battleship is not equipped with a zero-point energy module. If it wants to cross a distance of three million light-years, even after the hyperspace technology is further optimized, it will still take more than three months.
The third batch, the 300,000 mercenary fleets of affiliated civilizations, set off through space teleportation. It will take a year to cross a distance of three million light years.
At this moment, inside the Xingchen, Jiang Xingchen was looking at the real-time model of the battlefield in front of him.
"Order all warships to start disorderly evasive maneuvers!"
"Yes, Commander."
Although the Pangu-class battleship has a space shield and a zero-point energy module, its defense is extremely powerful.
However, there is always a critical point in strengthening defense, and the space shield is not absolutely invincible.
Therefore, certain avoidance is still needed.
As long as the firepower exceeding the defense limit is not hit at the same time, it is not a big problem.
Therefore, the battleship cannot stay still, but needs to perform some evasive actions to ensure that it will not be hit by too many attacks at the same time.
Soon, a large number of attacks arrived, including energy bombs and various beams.
But a scene happened that shocked everyone.
No matter what kind of attack it is, after hitting the Pangu-class battleship, it seems to have hit the phantom and penetrated directly.
If it weren't for the fact that these warships were also constantly firing and killing a large number of starry sky Zerg, everyone would definitely think that these warships did not actually exist, but were just a technology similar to virtual projection.
"Commander, we found two insect swarms outflanking the fleet from both sides."
"Be prepared for hand-to-hand combat!"
"Yes, Commander!"
Jiang Xingchen's expression did not change at all when facing the swarm of insects that were outflanking him.
It's just an order to prepare for hand-to-hand combat.
What is hand-to-hand combat preparation?
If it is a fleet of a fourth-level civilization, this order usually means deploying all close defense weapons and releasing all carrier-based fighters.
But the fleet composed of Pangu-class battleships is a completely different concept.
The next moment.
The entire fleet dispersed.
According to the conventional fleet formation, every two warships are usually fifteen to twenty kilometers apart. This is the most appropriate distance for the fleet to maintain system firepower and not hinder mutual maneuvers.
But at this moment, the entire fleet was completely dispersed, and the distance between ships was even extended to more than 500 kilometers.
This scene made Abraham, the commander of the defense zone, dumbfounded.
Facing the siege of the insect swarm, we should gather the fleet to increase the density of firepower, right?
What is the operation of going the opposite direction and scattering the fleet?
Doesn't this give the Starry Sky Zerg a better chance to surround each of your battleships individually and then defeat them?
I don’t understand. Abraham really doesn’t understand.
Soon, not long after the federal fleet dispersed the array, two seas of insects spread out from both wings, and soon the array of three thousand Pangu-class battleships...
Completely submerged.
In the picture, the existence of the federal warship can no longer be seen, but only the large swarm of insects that looks like an ocean can be seen.
"It's over, it's completely over!"
"You obviously have such a powerful battleship, why did you make such a stupid choice!"
"If you give this fleet to my command, I will definitely beat those bugs until they can no longer take care of themselves!"
"Why..."
Abraham was really sad.
In his opinion, this is like humans clearly holding the key to victory, but not knowing how to use it.
In the end, the key was simply thrown away.
Is this not heartbreaking?
Then, at this moment, the observation picture returned from the front line...
But something strange happened.
Balls of white energy rose instantly.
What should I say about this picture?
It seems neat and beautiful?
After all, every five hundred kilometers or so, an energy mass rises.
In the entire picture, those energy groups seemed to be lined up in a neat queue, covering a large area.
At this time, Abraham came to his senses.
Could it be that the dispersion just now was for this?
Completely destroy two insect swarms by self-destructing three thousand warships?
However, even so, is it too wasteful?
As long as there are those three thousand battleships, not to mention two insect swarms, even twenty insect swarms can be killed.
There's no need to blow yourself up...
However, when three thousand white terrifying energy groups slowly dissipated half a minute later, Abraham's eyes widened when he looked at the scene on the observation screen.
The entire area seemed to have been thoroughly cleaned and was very clean.
Ah no...
It can't be said to be very clean.
After all, there are still 3,000 warships out there.
Each of its battleships is covered with a large number of silver-white hexagonal barriers spliced together to form something similar to an energy shield, but it is not an energy shield.
Well, none of that matters.
What's important is that the Star Sea Federation's three thousand warships suffered no losses at all.
Abraham was completely stupid, okay?
While Abraham was dumbfounded, Jiang Xingchen had already issued the latest order.
"The fleet has the maximum combat speed, directly enters the insect swarm, and then continues hand-to-hand combat!"
If Abraham heard Jiang Xingchen's order at this moment, he would definitely complain like crazy.
Is this called hand-to-hand combat?
Damn hand-to-hand combat!
After being completely surrounded by enemies, throw the cold fusion bomb directly.
He even blew up his own battleship.
It's just that the space shield of your own warship can withstand cold fusion bombs.
Is it wrong to say hand-to-hand combat?
Isn’t this super close combat?
Although the attack range is larger...
In short, Jiang Xingchen didn't care how confused Abraham was now, the Xingchen had already rushed out at the lead, followed closely by the 3,000 Pangu-class battleships, still maintaining an extremely loose array.
Soon, white energy groups rose up one after another in the battlefield, ravaging everything within its envelope.
Except for the initiator.
Two hours later.
More than half of the twenty insect swarms that originally entered this place have been lost. Under the orders of their respective insect swarm leaders...
The retreat begins.
The 079 defense zone, which was in great danger before and was likely to collapse, has just achieved a shocking reversal.

Blue Eyes Civilization Capital Star.
Leader's Mansion.
In the office, Cassanders and Marcus were looking at the real-time synchronization of the front lines in a daze.
"Hiss...Is this the fleet of the fifth-level technological civilization?"
"Marcus, I feel that these three thousand battleships alone can even annihilate the entire fleet on Leopold's defense line as long as they fight head-on and there is no time limit, right?"
Taking a deep breath, Cassanders couldn't help but ask.
Marcus on the side nodded in deep agreement.
Let alone millions of battleships with level 3 and 4 technological civilizations. If there are no battlefield restrictions, even if there are more battleships, there is nothing we can do against these 3,000 battleships, right?
"Marcus, in order for the Star Sea Federation to fully support us, I am going to sign an order immediately to make the Blue Eyes Civilization a subsidiary civilization of the Star Sea Federation and form a legal document. What do you think?"
"I agree. I have learned about the Star Sea Federation's affiliated civilization system. It is different from other civilizations. It is more like a cooperation agreement and will not forcefully demand anything from the affiliated civilization."
"Oh, tell me in detail!"
Suddenly, Cassanders became interested.
He quickly asked Marcus.
And Marcus also shared the information he learned bit by bit.
Federation-affiliated civilization platform.
Points system.
Assessment system.
Also...
Everything is voluntary.
Oh my God, is this still a subsidiary civilization?
After listening, Cassanders immediately exclaimed.
After all, in his opinion, this kind of system cannot extract the value of subordinate civilization to the maximum extent.
As Marcus said, this is not so much a subsidiary civilization system as a cooperative system.
However, in this way, Kasanders' last resistance to becoming a civilization affiliated with the Federation disappeared.
Except that the word "affiliate" sounds a bit unpleasant, there is no harm in the rest, and you can even get a lot of benefits.
In particular, Marcus said that the Federation has opened up a complete library of fourth-level technological civilization technology to all affiliated civilizations, and points can be exchanged for any one of these technologies.
This is what excites Cassanders the most.
After all, after completing the main technologies in all aspects of the fourth-level technological civilization, it can also bring them closer to the fifth-level technological civilization, right?
join in...
Must join the federation's affiliated civilization system.
