There is no need for any preparation period at all. The two major alliances have been at odds with each other for five years because of the Orion Arm incident last time.
Speaking of which, the distance between the first main spiral arm and the fourth main spiral arm is the shortest. Of course, this refers to the part close to the center of the Milky Way.
Since the Milky Way is made up of four main spiral arms in a spiral shape, starting from the center of the Milky Way and expanding outward, the distance between the spiral arms is farther away from the rear.
In addition, the non-spiral arm areas far away from the central belt of the Milky Way are basically starless belts, and the space is very unstable, so traveling through them requires taking great risks.
Therefore, everyone travels between the four main spiral arms through the channel close to the center of the Milky Way.
Similarly, in the central belt of the Milky Way, the passage between the first main spiral arm and the fourth main spiral arm has become a confrontation point where the two major civilizations have accumulated heavy troops.
After Verto left the virtual meeting room of the Big Four, he immediately issued an order for a full-scale attack.
At the confrontation point, the Vera Alliance's 200 billion battleships immediately moved into action, formed one attack formation after another, and rushed towards the Free Alliance's position.
Soon, a shocking battle began!
Of course, this does not mean that the Vera Alliance only has 30 billion warships. The actual situation is that the Vera Alliance has deployed 120 billion heavy troops at the confrontation point. However, the channel is only so wide. Even 20 billion warships have already occupied the entire channel.
Completely stuffed.
Seeing that the Vera Alliance started to attack, the Freedom Alliance did not dare to show weakness and also sent 20 billion warships to meet them.
For a time, energy bombs and beams filled the entire waterway, but the warships on both sides were at least level four civilization warships, and at worst they were mid-to-late level four civilizations, because this waterway battle lasted every ten or eight years.
There will be no results at all.
Arms of Orion, Babavi Empire.
In the palace, Barbarea was shocked after receiving the news. He did not expect that his big brother would be so aggressive for the Barbarian Empire and would directly go to war with the Free Alliance.
But what he didn't know was that if it was just a matter of the Babavi Empire, the relationship between the two parties would at best deteriorate and there would be a confrontation, and there would be no chance of a big fight.
The real reason why Virto decided to start the war was that his own trade hub was attacked by the Saphira Consortium. Although it has some relationship with the Babawi Empire, it really has little relationship.
Similarly, more than 20,000 light-years away, the Earth.
Lin Zhen and Ed were also watching the exchanges between members of the Xio Alliance.
"The fight is on, the fight is on! The starting point is 20 billion versus 20 billion!" [Blue Eyes Civilization-Syklis]
"Can anyone provide a live broadcast from close range?" [Derek Empire-Andre]
"You are overthinking. The entire Fourth Channel has been occupied by warships from both sides, and they will not let you in to observe!" [Werner United-Ivan]
"Stop arguing, this period of time is just a bunch of level four civilizations fighting each other. There is nothing to talk about. We have to wait for the two level five civilizations, Vera Federation and Saphira Consortium, to take action." [Black Light]
Empire-Oleg]
"Okay, although this war has nothing to do with us, we still need to set up defenses on the galactic channel to prevent the war from burning into our second spiral arm! Later I will publish the number of warships required by each civilization in
Terminal!" [Hitria Empire - Leader of the Sith]
Seeing this, Lin Zhen and Ed realized for the first time what the war between the four overlords of the galaxy was like.
The early exploratory attack alone was on a scale of 20 billion versus 20 billion. The number of warships alone is already twice the human population, okay?
This is because the main force has not been dispatched, it is just a tentative attack and defense in the early stage by both sides.
"Ed, I think it's time for us to acquire this side of the starless belt on Orion's arm."
After being surprised, Lin Zhen looked at Ed and said seriously.
"I feel relieved that Lin Fan is supporting me at Shanhaiguan. As for the secondary arm of the Orion arm, it is indeed time to unify it. Let Liang Xingchen take action!"
Ed thought for a while, now that the Interstellar Great Wall plan has been completed, the only channel on the front line is guarded by Lin Fan.
To be honest, the Babavi Empire is not really that big a threat to the human federation now, but if humans want to attack, they are not strong enough.
Since the entire Orion arm cannot be taken down yet, then half of the Orion arm, that is, the secondary arm of the Orion arm, should be unified first, and then develop for decades.
"Well, now Liang Xingchen already has 3 legions in his hands. They haven't been touched since the last time they destroyed the Serra Empire! It's not okay to stay still. In addition, let's communicate with the Io Federation. After all,
To conquer a territory of more than 10,000 light-years with just three legions, it would take decades to complete!"
"Okay, I'll go communicate with Elfie, there should be no problem!"
You must know that after the Io Federation captured the Serra Empire five years ago, it has now gradually developed it, and it is time to continue to expand its territory.
"By the way, some of the affiliated civilizations in the Loulan Star Territory have already developed fleet-sized combat capabilities. Issue missions to them and let them act together. We need speed!"
Lin Zhen added something after thinking for a while.
The dozens of affiliated civilizations in the Loulan Star Territory are now very comfortable in the past five years. The territory of each civilization has expanded to dozens or even hundreds of star systems.
With the support of the federation, several civilizations have been promoted to level three civilizations. After all, the federation has opened the exchange of technical data for all level three civilizations to them, and even the redemption points are directly discounted by 50%.
As a result, several civilizations that were in the late second-level civilization themselves managed to break through to the third-level civilization within the past five years.
Of course, the biggest change is the combat effectiveness of the fleets of these civilizations. Under the conscious guidance of the Federation, these civilizations have more or less purchased many of the Federation's fourth-level battleships, or individually purchased a large number of energy shields and jump engines.
Therefore, among the dozens of affiliated civilizations, the weakest one now has an integrated fourth-level fleet, and the strongest ones already have several.
Now the human federation has enough productivity, but it does not have enough personnel to drive battleships. Therefore, 80% of the battleships built by humans in recent years have been exchanged by these affiliated civilizations.
From here we can see how many battleships the current affiliated civilizations have when added together.
When Ed posted the war mission on the affiliated civilization platform, all affiliated civilizations went crazy.
You must know that although these affiliated civilizations have built powerful fleets, they have no place to use them. They are surrounded by their own people who are also affiliated civilizations, and no one can fight each other. This is embarrassing.
But now that the Federation has issued war missions, the fleets of these affiliated civilizations finally have a place to use.
