Chapter 416 The key technology of the sixth level civilization
To take down a swarm of insects, it was not for Ovid and the assembled army.
It's not difficult, it's even easy.
But if there are ten or twenty...
It's not that it can't be done, it can be done if it takes some time.
However, Ovid made a mistake at the beginning.
He believed that since he had enough troops and a large number of gods participating in the battle, he did not need to first deal with the command hierarchy of the Zerg like Andrew had done before, and then let the God Guards and God Envoys slowly finish it off.
After all, doing this takes too much time.
So, if you can crush it, why use this time-wasting method?
Just push it flat and you're done.
Therefore, after a day of high-intensity and continuous fighting, the energy consumption of the gods is not small at this moment, and the God Guards are also very tired.
In addition, the insect swarms arrive one after another, in an endless stream.
Who knows how many more will come next.
Therefore, after careful consideration, Ordway could only choose to retreat temporarily to allow the gods to recover their energy and to allow the God Guards to rest and recuperate.
------
Distance from the previous battlefield and the positions of the two star systems.
The army has finished resting, and even the small portion of the Divine Guards that had not had time to assemble before has arrived one after another.
At this moment, Ovid had even more troops than before the previous battle.
But correspondingly, more than a dozen insect groups that were originally scattered everywhere also gathered together.
At the same time, swarms of insects are still arriving in the space transmission channel at a rate of seven or eight every day.
And as soon as these insect swarms arrived, they also gathered there.
Again, when these tens of thousands of divine envoys and hundreds of billions of divine guards are gathered together, the life energy they emit is too tempting for the Zerg.
Three days later, the army of gods, which had finished resting, began to attack again.
What they faced were three large insect swarms, more than five hundred insect swarms.
This battle lasted on and off for more than a month.
Why do you say it is intermittent?
Because the energy of the Divine Guards is limited, every time they continue to fight for 2 or 3 days, they have basically reached their limit and have to rest.
result...
After more than a month of fighting, the number of Zerg has not decreased, but has actually increased.
On Ovid's side, in addition to a group of gods, the divine guards and divine envoys have all been reduced by more than half.
This battle...
Obviously he can no longer fight.
At this moment, in Ovid's mind, he began to have the idea of withdrawing his troops and abandoning the domain of Andis.
Of course, this thought just crossed my mind and no decision was actually made.
until...
More than ten days later, during a Zerg attack...
A Zerg prince appeared.
It is powerful and not weaker than the attack power of ordinary gods. It directly creates a strong suppressive force on the fleet of the Divine Guards.
The gods had not thought of beheading this powerful insect directly.
However, there are five insect swarms on the battlefield, with a total of more than 800 insect swarms.
Getting close to that prince is not an easy task even for gods.
Of course, it can definitely be done if energy consumption is ignored.
But the gods really can't afford it now.
Such a situation directly overwhelmed Ovid's last bit of persistence and he had to make a decision.
Exit the Andis Domain and regain strength!
However, he didn't know that after retreating, his last hope...
Buried.
Without the attack of the army of gods, the space folding transmission channel located on Berante's side directly eliminated all threats, allowing the subsequent Zerg army to...

"Everyone, the Small Magellanic Cloud is completely on track. All we have to do is wait."
"It could be two years, it could be three years, it could be longer!"
"In short, once the time is right, we will immediately implement the sealing plan of the gods."
"But, before that, the federal fleet also has important tasks that need to be completed!"
In the military conference room, Chief of General Staff Gao Tianyang spoke seriously to all the participating officers.
Now, the army of gods has withdrawn from the Andis domain, and the Zerg's roots in the Small Magellanic Galaxy have become a foregone conclusion.
Of course, the gods will definitely not sit still and wait for death.
In order to save energy consumption, most of them will massively expand the size of the divine guards and divine envoys like Andis Divine Domain.
ten times?
hundred times?
Or...a thousand times?
It's hard to say yet, but one thing is certain.
The war between insects and gods will not end soon.
The sealing plan of the gods cannot be carried out in a short time.
During this period, it is impossible for the federal fleet to dare nothing and just wait.
"Now, I declare the order!"
"The defense fleet will station in the Triangulum Galaxy immediately."
"Although all high-level bugs have left, there must be some mother bugs or war bugs still left over there."
"The mission of the Azimuth Fleet is..."
"Completely clear out the Triangulum Galaxy!"
"Next, the pioneering fleet must also take action. There are 50 star systems in this galaxy group, and the Federation currently occupies not even half of them."
"Therefore, the mission of developing the fleet is still expansion. Within ten years, this galaxy group will be brought under federal rule."
"As for the Civilization Potential Assessment Department, the Military Department will require them to cooperate with the development of the fleet."
"That's the order, do you understand?"
After taking a final look around everyone, Gao Tianyang shouted.
"Yes, Chief of General Staff!"
------
Federation year 31.
After more than a year of fighting, the Andis Divine Realm completely fell.
But with this time, Ovid also completed the first round of expansion of the Divine Guard, and at the same time successfully converted more than 100,000 divine envoys.
In addition, the divine guards stationed in the remaining nine divine realms have basically been transferred to the two divine realms bordering the Andis divine realm.
Now, on the border line, the gods' side has built a strong defense line.
Moreover, the newly formed divine guards at the rear and the transformed divine envoys are still being sent to the front line.
On the one hand, the Zerg tribe continued to launch offensives against this line of defense, and on the other hand, several princes led hundreds of insect groups to start hunting outside the ten major divine realms.
According to the analysis of the Federal Military Department, the war here will not change much in at least one or two years.
But in the future, due to the limited war potential on the gods' side, the defense line will still be breached.
After all, although the Masar tribe has a large population, population does not equal combat effectiveness.
The reason why the Divine Guards have combat effectiveness is because they have individual weapons and equipment equivalent to the level of fourth-level civilization.
However, this quantity is limited.
It is impossible to support the unlimited expansion of the gods.
If Kanter was still here, the situation might be better.
After all, in addition to being the former God King, Kanter is also the only god who can conduct technological research and manufacturing.
Whether it is the equipment of the God Guard, the equipment of the God Envoy, the faith collection ship, or the troop transport ship currently used by the gods for interstellar warfare.
These are all designed and manufactured by Kanter.
But unfortunately, he disappeared.
The most important thing is that so far, other gods do not know where these things were made.
In other words, the remaining gods can be said to be completely taking advantage of Kanter's legacy.
Whether it’s spaceships or weapons and equipment, use a little and a little less.
In addition, the battle line is too long, even if hundreds of gods are placed on the front line, it will not be able to take full consideration.
So, it's fine in the short term, but certainly not in the long term.
Only by completely shrinking the defense line can it be possible to stabilize.
However, if the defense line is completely reduced, it will mean that more faith areas will fall, which will further increase the faith supply of the gods.
And just as the war between the Insect Gods was raging, the Federation was fully expanding within this galaxy group.
Located in the Central Academy of Sciences of the Milky Way, Ling Ruoxuan broke through a key technology in space technology.
And she hasn't realized that this technology is known in the universe as...
One of the key technologies of the sixth-order civilization.
At the same time, once this technology is fully applied, it will completely rewrite the entire interstellar industry chain.
Especially the interstellar manufacturing industry.
