Just when several people were concluding their discussions and preparing to leave, a trusted general rushed in with fear in his eyes: "The marshal is in trouble. We just got news that Black Scale City dispatched more than 500 starships to attack
Our direction is coming."
"What? More than five hundred ships?"
All four people in the room stood up in shock. Marshal Gulan's old face was ashen, and a trace of panic flashed in his eyes.
The Minotaurs dispatched more than 500 starships. The last time they attacked the Eight Gates Base, it was also on this scale. It was by no means a small attack.
Gu Mu said eagerly: "This is impossible. There are not many tauren troops in Black Scale City. How can they launch an attack at this time?"
Junior brother Gu Qing was relatively calm and said: "Are you sure there are more than 500 starships? How many ground troops did the Minotaur dispatch?"
"There are definitely more than five hundred ships. Although our reconnaissance ships are far away and cannot be seen clearly, the number is definitely correct. As for the ground troops?"
When the trusted general said this, he hesitated and said: "There seems to be no sign of ground troops dispatching. The news we have so far is that there are only 500 Tauren starships setting off from the starship base in the mountainous area outside the city."
"No ground troops?" Gu Qing raised his eyebrows and said calmly: "There are only starships and no ground troops dispatched. This should not be an attack on us."
"good!"
After hearing this, Marshal Gulan also realized that he had lost his composure, glared at the confidant who hurriedly came to report the news, and sat back in his chair: "In the future, use your brain more, and don't make blind noises when you see the slightest movement.
Order the reconnaissance ships to continue to monitor closely, especially the tauren ground troops, and come back immediately to report if there is any abnormal movement."
"Follow the order!"
When the trusted general left in disgrace, the four people in the room still looked suspicious.
Junior Brother Gu Qing stood up, looked at the map on the wall and said: "Senior Brother, the Tauren did not send ground troops, but only sent more than 500 starships. What do they want to do?
In this direction, apart from our Eight Gate Base, the closest thing to the Tauren is the Floating Mountains?
Do the tauren want to use starships to forcibly clear away the giant bats in the floating mountains? Seize the floating mountain mines?"
"Isn't it possible?" Gu Mu touched his chin and shook his head: "Let's not talk about the giant bats in the floating mountains. The total number is as high as more than 20 million. Under normal circumstances, let alone 500 starships, there are a thousand.
You may not be able to beat it.
What's more, even if they win the battle, the losses will not be small. It is estimated that not even one-tenth of the five hundred starships will be left.
In addition to the troops driving the starships, five hundred ships would cost at least more than half a million yuan. Can the Black Scale King be willing to bear such a huge loss?"
"It's hard to say!"
Marshal Gulan, who had been silent for a long time, finally spoke. He stood up, walked to the map, and said with a gloomy face: "When we calculated the floating stone mines in the Floating Mountain area, we did not calculate these floating mountains.
If included, it is not a large mine at all, but a super mine, with total reserves of tens of billions of tons.
Once the Tauren capture these floating mountains, they will be able to build three to four thousand more starships and put them into the battlefield within two to three years.
Therefore, it is not impossible for the Black Scale King to be ruthless and pay the price to take over the Floating Mountain once and for all."
"this!"
After hearing what their senior brother said, Gu Mu and Gu Lan both took a breath of air and became uneasy.
It is normal for a big battle in the ancient battlefield to last for several years, or even more than ten years.
Two or three years have passed by in a blink of an eye. If the Tauren really increase their fleet by three to four thousand starships, this will be a big problem.
"Elder brother, if the tauren really attack the Floating Mountains, we must find a way to stop them!" Gu Qing reminded with an embarrassed look.
"You are right, yes stop it!" Gulan nodded gloomily.
The Tauren can enter the Fifth Star Ring from the Fourth Star Ring through the ancient passage in the center of the ancient battlefield, but the Tauren's starship cannot.
Because of the conflict with the laws of space, starships containing space law crystals cannot pass through any form of space channel, except for the legendary most stable wormhole. Otherwise, they can only jump slowly in space on their own.
Therefore, the Tauren's starships were all made by collecting resources from ancient battlefields after reaching the fifth star ring.
Originally, the Tauren occupied the central region, which is the richest in resources. Wouldn't it make matters worse if the Tauren obtained such a large sum of floating stone mines?
This made an already difficult battle situation even more difficult.
Although he firmly believed that the tauren would retreat sooner or later, he did not want to be defeated prematurely on the ancient battlefield.
After all, his large-scale transfer will take several years. The eight major sects have great undertakings, not to mention all kinds of rare materials, and even if they transfer tens of billions of people, a few years will be a short time.
"Send a fleet to monitor from a distance. If that doesn't work, we can only fight with the tauren!"
After a long time, Marshal Gulan finally gritted his teeth and nodded. As a quasi-tenth-level strongman, he still had blood in his bones.
"I will send someone to make preparations right now." Gu Qing accepted the order in a deep voice.
Gulan nodded and said: "It is estimated that by now, the news that the Minotaurs have dispatched five hundred starships has spread outside.
Go and tell everyone, and then inform the major bases, that the main force of the tauren is fighting on the right battlefield and the second plane. It is the time when they are weak.
Even if they want to start a war, we are not afraid!"
"Okay senior brother, I'll go and do it right away. Do we need to notify the Four Emperors Palace as well?" Junior Brother Gu Qing nodded and asked again.
Gulan thought for a moment and said: "They should have received the news and notification at this time."
"Senior brother, what about me? Should I still go to the Floating Mountain Base?" Gu Mu also stood up and asked eagerly.
Seeing that the war was about to start, he didn't want to go to Fukong Mountain at all.
"Go, why not go?"
Gu Lan's old eyes glared. Although he is the oldest, he is also highly cultivated and looks a bit younger than Gu Mu: "Now is the time when we need the latest information. You should leave immediately and don't delay for a moment!"
"I~~~"
Gu Mu's throat was crawling, and he really wanted to spit it out. Is he really treating his junior brother like a human being?
"Have you heard? The Tauren have dispatched more than 500 starships to come towards us!"
"What's there to be afraid of? I just got news about the sect's caravan. There are millions of human prisoners gathered in Black Scale City, as well as a large number of injured Tauren soldiers and damaged starships. It is estimated that the Tauren are fighting with the third
A battle between two planes of coalition forces.
At this time, the tauren still dare to provoke, so we are just going to break into Black Scale City and rescue our brothers in the second plane."
"Yes, that's right. Send troops to Black Scale City. We have nearly two thousand starships in our base. We're afraid of being embarrassed!"
He Gulan's guess was good. When Gu Qing left the office, he was immediately surrounded by a group of high-ranking generals. News about the Minotaur dispatching 500 starships had already spread.
"Everyone, the marshal has ordered to send a fleet to monitor the Tauren fleet group.
If the Tauren really want to attack our Eight Gate Base, we will not be polite!" Gu Qing announced Gulan's decision loudly, causing bursts of cheers.
He did not tell the target of the tauren, but it was suspected to be the floating mountains.
"Well done, Marshal. With such a good opportunity, we should launch an attack on the Tauren!"
"Yes, the tauren are fighting against the coalition forces of the second plane. If we don't attack now, when will we wait?"
"Assemble the fleet, rush into Black Scale City, and rescue the brothers from the second plane."
Soon, the entire eight-door base was in a frenzy of requests to go to war.
Regardless of whether the Minotaurs really want to attack the Eight Gate Base, the spark of the battle has been ignited inadvertently, and it has become a prairie fire and is unstoppable.
"Damn, how could this happen?"
In the office on the top floor, Marshal Gulan got the news and opened the window to the outside, his face was ashen.
He knew that he had made a mistake. If the tauren did not want to mine the floating mountains, or not all of them, but only one or two small floating mountains, the war atmosphere here had already taken shape, and he could suppress it any further.
Difficult.
At this time, the second clone did not know that he had inadvertently dug a big hole for Marshal Gulan.
At the same time, the main body is still worried about starting a war with the tauren and how to get the sect alliance into the water together, but it seems that there is no need to worry.
"The Tauren sent more than five hundred starships? It is suspected that they want to wipe out the giant bat group in the Floating Mountain. Gu Mu is on the way with a fleet?
Let me go, these five hundred starships are not scrapped ships sent to me, are they?"
Half an hour later, at the Fukong Mountain Base, the second clone received the message from the Eight Gate Base and was stunned.
