Today's Zerg is no longer the Zerg of fifteen years ago. Relying on the genes of Heig and other high-level purgatory creatures, the entire race has ushered in a wave of evolution.
All of this was hidden deep inside the Boötes Hollow by Alia and was not exposed to the eyes of the Federation.
Perhaps, on the surface, the Zerg still have their original strength and have not changed much. At most, they have only recovered a lot of soldiers.
However, just in front of Aria now, there are eight emperor insects of seventh-level biological civilization. Compared with fifteen years ago, the overall strength has simply risen several levels.
However, even so, Aliya still has no confidence that she can defeat the Federation. Let alone the Federation today, even the Federation fifteen years ago, her confidence is not that high.
In her original plan, the Zerg had to immerse themselves in development for at least a hundred years before they would have the strength to compete with the Federation. However, Lin Fan suddenly broke his skin, which made her quite passive.
However, no matter how passive you are, you can only bite the bullet.
Alya knew very well that since Lin Fan had already started taking action, all of her escape routes must have been blocked. Now she had no choice but to fight to the death.
"We can't continue like this. Scattered garrisoning can't stop the human offensive at all. Call the whole family to assemble in the Newman Galaxy Group immediately!"
"Yes, Queen!"
------
The Nether Fleet cleared the way and destroyed the Zerg's command system, and then the conventional fleet followed up to clean up the Zerg swarm that had lost its command. The Federation fleet relied on this strategy and was unstoppable along the way.
In just one month, three galaxy groups have been captured, accounting for approximately 20% of the Zerg-controlled area.
Originally, there were only three galaxy groups, which could not account for 20% of the area of a large super galaxy cluster. However, the Wilster Super Galaxy Cluster was very special. The battle between the Zerg and the Saint Wei Empire more than 100,000 years ago
, 80% of the entire super-cluster area was reduced to nothingness, thus forming the cosmic wonder of the Bootes void.
Therefore, there are currently only fifteen galaxy groups in the entire Wilster Supercluster.
The outer reaches of the Boötes void, the Neumann galaxy group.
Due to the existence of the Boötes void, the only 15 galaxy groups remaining in the Wilster Supercluster exist around the periphery of the void, and Neumann is the only galaxy group that cuts off the outer circle of the entire supercluster.
, it is also a strategic location that the Federation fleet must capture if it wants to continue its advance.
Of course, there is another way, and that is to orbit in the opposite direction along the outer circle of the Boötes Hollow, but in the current situation where all the Zerg have gathered here, even if it is to orbit in the opposite direction, it is inevitable that they will end up in the decisive battle with Newman.
One result.
As the saying goes, it is better to fight early than to fight late. Since there is a decisive battle, let's accompany the Zerg here in Newman and fight this battle that will determine the outcome of the entire campaign.
Therefore, not only the Zerg are gathering, but the Federation is also gathering.
At this moment, more than eighty standard galaxy clusters have been assembled in the Wesselo Galaxy Group adjacent to Newman.
War...is about to break out.
------
At the same time, the ocean current node leading to the Nilnicea supercluster, Jerez.
"Commander, abnormal energy fluctuations in the ocean currents have been detected. Something is about to arrive through the ocean currents. Based on the amplitude of the fluctuations, there should be a lot of them!"
"Sound the first-level battle alarm. Regardless of whether it is the infernal army coming out, we will directly launch a full-scale fire blockade!"
"clear!"
Although the federal technology cannot monitor the ocean currents, based on the research over the years and the analysis of energy fluctuations escaping from the ocean currents, it is still possible to deduce that something is about to arrive through the ocean currents, even if
It's impossible to know exactly what is coming, but at least there is an early warning, right?
As for whether it is the army of purgatory that is coming?
Lin Kexin doesn't care about this. At this critical moment, even if the peace ambassador comes, he will give you a shot.
After all, the key to defending the mouth of the ocean is not to give the opponent a chance to rush out too many troops. Otherwise, once a solid bridgehead is formed by the opponent, subsequent armies can continue to gather relatively safely.
By that time, it will not be far from the defense line being breached...
Therefore, Lin Kexin did not have the time to play the game of questioning and warning with the opponent. The safest way was to go all out without saying anything and not give the opponent any chance to rush out and form a formation.
"coming!"
A few minutes later, as a shout came from the bridge intelligence team, Lin Kexin also shrank her eyes and stared at the ocean exit monitoring screen projected in front of her, and a large number of wars flew out of it.
"Um?"
Looking at the target on the screen, Lin Kexin made a confused sound.
No matter how you look at it, this is a battleship of technological civilization, not those biological legions of purgatory, right?
However, Lin Kexin would not stop the attack just because of this. At this critical moment, there could not be any omissions.
"All warships and defense platforms opened fire immediately, forming a fire network to block the ocean current outlet!"
"clear!"
Since the mouth of the ocean current is so large, even at a distance of 1 au, after excluding the area occupied by the defense platform, at most two galaxy clusters can be deployed in a hemispherical shape.
Therefore, the five galaxy clusters cannot be deployed on the defense line at the same time, and three of them can only be used as reserve teams.
Two billion Dreadnought-class warships, plus more than 100 million of the Federation's latest generation fire support platforms, under Lin Kexin's order, launched an attack on the exit of the ocean current at the same time. The powerful attack immediately formed an airtight barrier.
The firepower network completely enveloped the fleets of these unknown forces.
However, the impact of this blow made Lin Kexin frown deeply.
It's not that no attack has no effect. The wave of attacks just now did wipe out all the hundreds of thousands of warships that rushed out from the opponent's first batch.
But the problem is that Lin Kexin did not expect the devastating situation. Instead, each of his warships withstood at least five or six attacks before finally being destroyed.
This is very abnormal.
That’s right, not normal at all!
You must know that the fearless fleet has now fully applied the technology of the ninth-level technological civilization after changing its equipment.
Compared with the previous generation of Dreadnought-class battleships, the biggest difference is that the ninth-level civilization has developed the use of dark energy to a certain extent. Even if it is not stimulated by a dark energy controller, it can successfully use dark energy with technological power alone.
Energy means of attack and defense.
Of course, there is still a gap compared to the direct use of dark energy controllers. After all, there is no federal dark energy auxiliary calculation device, and without the help of dark energy controllers, fixed calculation programs can only be written into the device in advance.
In other words, it is impossible to use the auxiliary calculation device to choose different attack methods according to different situations like the Federation's dark energy controllers.
But even so, this is still a real dark energy attack, but the opponent can withstand at least five or six rounds before being exploded. How can this not surprise Lin Kexin?
"Commander, according to data analysis, the shield of the opponent's warship is the same dark energy shield as ours!"
"In other words...the other party is a ninth-level technological civilization?"
Hearing this, Lin Kexin's brows furrowed even deeper...
