As the gateway to Wellington, where the imperial capital is located, the construction of the starry sky defense network is quite complete.
However, it depends on what kind of opponent you are dealing with.
If it were just pirates or ordinary rebels, there would be absolutely no problem.
However, today's enemy is the new Rose Fleet under Lance's command, and its commander is a rare and powerful faction among the nobles, Siweite!
Just relying on the range advantage of the 5 billion federal warships in hand, the entire defense network system can be destroyed without any damage, and there is no threat at all.
Of course, for the sake of the overall strategic goal, Sievert did not do this. Instead, he used the 5 billion warships as his trump card and hid them in the rear as a reserve fleet, and did not let them go forward to fight.
However, even without the federal warships, the fleet commanded by Siwitt was still not able to compete with the fleets commanded casually by those idle nobles.
Just by using some psychological tricks, all the defenders were deceived out of the attack range of the defense network.
Needless to say, the outcome is natural. Under the command of those nobles, even a stable winning situation will be ruined by them.
This is simply an ignorant child who was repeatedly ravaged by famous generals. The one-sided battle situation shocked everyone. 25 billion warships beat 100 billion warships until they cried for their fathers and mothers, and were in a miserable state.
Of course, in order to attract the Imperial fleet to support this main goal, even though he knew that as long as the Federation warships were dispatched, the battle could be won without any damage, Sivit did not do so and instead used the Imperial warships to deal with it.
This gave Emperor Langton a glimmer of hope.
Although the guards of 100 billion battleships were badly beaten, that was because of the noble commanders, not because the imperial fleet was weaker than the rebel fleet.
Emperor Langton saw this very clearly.
Because, as long as sufficient reinforcements are sent, plus the much more advanced royal guard fleet, can this rebel army be effectively captured?
The answer is yes. As for the premise, it is natural that the strength of the rebels is really what he sees now.
Under the Emperor's order, a total of 500 billion warships were mobilized, with 210 billion warships supporting Laswell and Herington respectively, and 80 billion warships raiding the capitals of the eight star regions.
If we also include the 200 billion battleship garrison of Lasswell and Herrington, then the 800 billion warships currently concentrated in Wellington in the entire empire have been mobilized by a full 700 billion, with only eight remaining
The Royal Guards Fleet and the two star fleets total 100 billion battleships.
And this number...has exceeded Lance's combat goal.
"Attract 70% of the imperial fleet to Laswell and Herington, laying the foundation for Lance to attack the imperial capital of Sasara!"
As the defenders retreated into the strike range of the starry sky defense network, Sivit also stopped pursuing. He just deployed dozens of large and small arrays outside the strike range, and finally reunited with the more than 70 billion
The gathered remnants of the army faced off.
The battlefield, which had been extremely fierce just now, instantly returned to calm.
For three whole hours, neither side made any further moves, and still maintained a confrontational posture. Until the void not far away shrank for a while, the battlefield situation was broken...
There was still no intention of stopping, until more than ten minutes later, a total of 210 billion warships almost crowded the Laswell Middle Empire.
“This is even better than expected!”
"Contact the Second Legion and ask about the situation with Admiral Al and whether any imperial reinforcements have arrived!"
Siwitt looked at the data on the tactical panel.
The reinforcements of a total of 210 billion warships do not look like the style of those nobles!
In his original thinking, based on the aristocratic logic, it would be good to reinforce 50 billion warships each time.
As for me, if I want to accomplish Lance's combat goal, I have to attract at least three waves of reinforcements, and I have prepared a thorough and reasonable plan for this.
However, it seems that all those plans are useless now. Not only did the empire not carry out refueling tactics, but it also dispatched a total of 210 billion warships as reinforcements at once, directly overfulfilling its mission!
Next, it’s time to look at Al’s side. If the situation is the same on his side, then it’s the young master’s turn.
Plunge the last sharp sword into the heart of the empire!
"Admiral Siwitt, the Second Army responded, there are also 210 billion imperial warships supporting Herington."
"Okay, pass the news to the leader immediately!"
"Yes, Admiral!"
------
In a void ten light years away from the Wellington star field.
A total of 10 billion warships are ready to go.
The style of these warships is completely different from that of the Empire. They are the raiding fleet led by Lance himself, consisting of 10 billion federal warships.
"Leader, Laswell and Wellington have sent back important military information!"
In the bridge of the Rose, Villette received news from Laswell and Herington at almost the same time, and immediately came to Lance to report.
"explain!"
"Yes, three minutes ago, the empire's two supporting armies arrived at Laswell and Herington respectively. Each of the supporting armies consists of a royal guard fleet and twenty star fleets!"
"That means the empire will send 4,200 warships at once as reinforcements?"
"Yes!"
420 billion warships?
In other words, there are only a maximum of 180 billion warships near the imperial capital?
After hearing the information, Lance did some quick calculations in his mind and immediately came up with the result.
This was much better than Lance had expected.
Before, when formulating this plan, Lance's expectation was that after Sivit and Al attracted a large number of imperial fleets respectively, there should be at least 250 billion warships around the imperial capital that he wanted to raid.
Now, this number has been reduced by 80 billion, which is really a big surprise!
This means that he can capture the imperial capital more easily and gain the final victory!
However, what Lance doesn't know is that there are actually only 100 billion battleships left around the God City!
Because, 80 billion of the warships have already set off, heading straight for the capitals of the eight star regions through the space transmission of the star gate.
However, even if Lance knew, he wouldn't care too much.
After all, today's capitals of the eight major star regions are garrisoned by a federal galaxy-level legion, and the empire's conventional fleet of only 10 billion cannot make any waves at all!
"Order the fleet to start the hyperspace engine immediately!"
"Target, the imperial capital Sasala!"
The fighter plane was fleeting, and Lance, who understood this deeply, stood up without any hesitation and shouted an order.
