Although the loss of nearly two hundred battleships is nothing to the four major civilizations in the galaxy.
But what has to be said is that since the demise of the Star Sea Federation, they have never suffered losses of this level.
Even the last time Kyle was killed seventeen frigates at once, it was already called an unprecedented shame in the Imperial Parliament in hundreds of years.
One can imagine how much shock this loss will cause.
However, the real losses were caused by the affiliated civilizations who came to support them. The losses were as high as thousands of battleships. Among them, the first few second-level civilizations that arrived, and even the entire fleet were wiped out.
Without energy shields, they can only be regarded as cannon fodder on this kind of battlefield. If they are hit by a few energy bullets from the tail scorpions, they will be directly attacked.
However, compared to losses, what everyone is more concerned about now is...
Why did the insect escape?
------
On a Kerry Empire battleship.
"What's the damage like?"
"According to preliminary inventory, we have lost a total of one cruiser, eight destroyers, 35 frigates, and more than 7,800 Annihilator fighters."
"In other words, in the survey fleet, almost 80% of the warships belonging to our empire have been lost?"
"Yes, Commander, the situation of the other three civilizations is similar to ours!"
Hearing what the adjutant said, Kyle's expression still did not ease in any way.
Forty-four battleships were lost at once, plus the seventeen frigates lost in Tolan, and the two frigates a year ago.
Half of the fleet in his hands was immediately reimbursed...
"Where's the result?"
"According to incomplete statistics, the number of insects killed should be between 4 and 5 million, and the number of insect nests destroyed is 38."
In other words, the four major civilizations lost nearly two hundred battleships of various types and tens of thousands of space fighters, and in the end they only achieved this little result?
Kyle was silent.
Although the main reason for this was that the incident happened suddenly, the investigation fleet was not prepared in any way, and there were problems such as insufficient initial strength, which led to heavy casualties.
But the loss is too great...
Even Kyle had to admit that it would be difficult to deal with the starry Zerg with long-range attack methods just relying on the power in his hands.
"Commander, what should we do next?"
"Although I don't know why those bugs retreated, time is in our favor. Get me through Commander Brown!"
"Yes, Commander!"
Soon, when the communication was connected, Brown's figure was projected on the bridge.
"Kyle, how is the situation over there?"
"Those bugs retreated into the Death Nebula..."
"What, defeated them? Didn't you say the situation was very critical before?"
Hearing this, Brown was stunned for a moment.
Just a few minutes ago, I just received a report saying that the losses were too large and it was basically impossible to hold on?
How long has it been since the results came out? Are you telling me that we have already fought off those bugs?
"Commander Brown, we did not defeat them, but those bugs suddenly retreated for some reason."
"Retreat suddenly?"
"Yes, if anything happened before they retreated, it should be the arrival of the garrison of our flood-light star system."
After pondering for a moment, Kyle added.
However, Brown still didn't understand the connection.
You must know that only half of the troops stationed in the flood star system have arrived.
The other half, on the other hand, have been fighting the starry sky Zerg here from the beginning, and there are even fleets of affiliated civilizations arriving one after another from surrounding star systems.
Therefore, Kyle and his two hundred or so battleships alone should not be able to scare away those bugs.
"Kyle, regardless of why these bugs escaped, I want you to guard this hole, can you do it?"
"Commander, with the power I currently have, it may be difficult."
Shaking his head, Kyle said.
Don't say that he doesn't know how many such bugs there are in the Death Nebula.
Even the ones he fought just now are not something that can be resisted by the power in his hands. The hundreds of thousands of bugs that can attack from a distance can completely collapse him.
"Commander Brown, won't the mainland send a fleet to support it?"
"Don't expect it in a short time. The parliament is talking about this matter. Even if a decision can be made immediately, it will take nearly two months to reach you."
"That's it..."
Hearing this, Kyle also smiled bitterly.
It’s not just the parliament that is talking nonsense, I’m afraid the four major civilizations are also talking nonsense to each other, right?
Finally, if we want to reach an agreement and send a large army into the Orion Arm, it is estimated that it will be impossible within two or three months.
Coupled with the time for the fleet to assemble, the time to pass through the wormhole, and the time to travel, it will take almost two or three months.
Therefore, if local support can arrive within half a year, that is already a blessing.
"Commander Brown, if local support cannot arrive in the short term, can you give me the right to recruit all affiliated civilizations?"
"Yes, as long as you can firmly block those bugs in the Death Nebula, on the Orion Arm, and all the affiliated civilizations belonging to our Kerry Empire, you can recruit them at will!"
Brown agreed directly without any hesitation.
When Brown nodded in agreement, Kyle was slightly relieved.
At present, in the Orion Arm, in addition to the four major civilizations stationed in the floodlight star system, the other star systems are stationed and managed by their own affiliated civilizations, with more than 2,000 in number. Among them, there are those affiliated with the Kerry Empire.
587.
These 587 civilizations all have fleets stationed in the star systems under their jurisdiction, ranging from dozens to hundreds of warships.
Therefore, as long as Kyle obtains the right to recruit them, it means that he will get the command of tens of thousands of battleships, although they are only some battleships of second- and third-level civilizations, and most of them are second-level civilizations.
But after all, the quantity is here, even if it is used as cannon fodder, it is still very good.
At least, it's much stronger than having dozens of battleships in your own hands, right?
However, it is not easy to conquer the entire affiliated civilization of the Orion Arm, even with the authorization from Supreme Commander Brown.
You know, the length of Orion's arm is tens of thousands of light-years.
Therefore, except for some relatively close civilizations that can be reached in a short time, other civilizations will take a long time, and even some that are thousands of light years away will take several months to arrive.
"Immediately convey an order in my name to all affiliated civilizations, requiring them, in addition to the necessary remaining forces, to rush to the Death Nebula as quickly as possible and temporarily put them under my command."
After ending the communication with Brown, Kyle gave a direct order.
