Lin Fan knew that the black cavity armor could offset a large part of the pulling force caused by the collapse of the outer wall of the universe.
However, what he did not expect was that the empire actually built so many Lieyang-class battleships, even though they only used the prototype of black cavity armor technology.
Just as he said to Altera and Talovese, what he couldn't understand was where did the Sun River Empire get such a large number of black cavity crystals?
However, this problem is not big.
Even if it is impossible to follow the plan made before the war and directly use the surprise attack from the rear and the alliance's main force from the front to establish victory in one fell swoop, the result will not change at all, but...
Change the battle from one phase to three phases and just spend more time.
"Speaking of which, Gloucester probably thinks that the Federation fleet chose to retreat due to the pressure brought by the Sun Fleet, right?"
In the virtual conference room, Altera, who knew the three-phase combat plan, said with a relaxed smile, and the same was true for Talovis beside him.
"But we still can't be careless. Even if we destroy 80% of the supplies on the front line of the Sun River Empire, the remaining supplies are enough for them to fight intensively for a month. Once they jump over the wall, although we can still win, the losses will not be huge.
It will be small!”
"That's right, we have to fight back to the center of the universe later. That's Amleth's lair. Who knows what other tricks he has hidden!"
After hearing Lin Fan's reminder, Altra nodded in agreement.
"Then let's discuss how we will deal with it after Gloucester goes crazy..."
------
While Lin Fan and the other three were discussing the follow-up operations, the federal fleet that raided various super systems and the empire's logistics also left through the black cavity passage.
Except for the cannon fodder of affiliated civilizations on the front lines, who are still fighting desperately, the war...
It seemed like it was over at this moment!
Gloucester, finally free, immediately began to deploy.
In each super galaxy cluster, at least 100 billion battleships have been mobilized. With every three battleships as a unit and the maximum distance of accurate observation as the radius, a direct formation covering every inch of the void is formed purely composed of battleships.
monitoring network.
These battleships have only one mission, to observe the surrounding area around the clock, and report immediately if a black cavity passage is formed, and then the base camp will dispatch a fleet to destroy the passage before the enemy arrives through the passage.
Since the Federation now has technology that makes it undetectable when opening a channel, then use the most primitive method, visual inspection!
Of course, it is impossible to observe the universe visually. It can only be observed through the equipment on the battleship. If you want to observe without being affected by time, the observation range cannot be too large.
Therefore, the number of battleships required will be very large.
Although as a result, the manually available force was suddenly reduced by almost three trillion warships, it was very necessary.
Otherwise, what should we do if the next war breaks out and humans use this undetectable black channel to launch another sneak attack?
However...
While Gloucester was deploying all this, the federal fleet that he thought had retreated was like a dagger, thrust into the imperial army's seven inches.
An hour later.
Alarm sound...
It rang again.
"What's going on!"
Quickly stepping onto the bridge, Gloucester shouted loudly.
He had just made all the arrangements and was about to take a rest. Not even a minute after he left the bridge, the alarm sounded.
Was it the Alliance that came over, or did the humans sneak attack there again?
Logically speaking, it shouldn’t be right?
There are tens of billions of cannon fodder warships from affiliated civilizations on the Alliance side to resist. Even if they all line up to be shot, it will still take several days!
And it wouldn't be right for humans to make a sneak attack.
I have already used the most primitive methods and monitored all the frontline super galaxy clusters. There is no chance for a sneak attack at all, right?
In short, Gloucester returned to the bridge again with a lot of questions.
"Reporting to the commander, it is our affiliated civilization. All affiliated civilizations adjacent to our front line have been attacked by human fleets. According to the comparison of the database, these raiding fleets are the human fleets that previously attacked our rear!"
"In other words, they did not retreat before, but used the black cavity channel to directly attack these affiliated civilizations!"
The adjutant ran to Gloucester, sweating profusely, and reported anxiously.
Although the Sun River Empire does not care whether these subsidiary civilizations are destroyed, it still depends on the situation.
At least...
Under this current situation, these subsidiary civilizations are the lifeblood of the imperial army!
Before the dark energy crystal attrition war between the mainland and the Federation comes to an end, sending supplies from these civilizations to the front line through the black cavity channel is the only safe and reliable method.
Now...
Things are really serious.
aside...
After hearing the adjutant's report, Gloucester felt as if he was hit by a bolt from the blue. His whole body almost collapsed. Only three words kept echoing in his mind.
"It's over!"
All situations were calculated and targeted deployments were made.
But in the end, the affiliated civilization behind the front was missed!
At this time, the plan for these subsidiary civilizations to transport supplies to the front line through cosmic ocean currents was completely ruined.
No, it's not over yet, there is still a chance...
"Quick, contact the local area immediately and report the current situation!"
"Yes, Commander of Gloucester!"
Yes, there is still a chance...at least in Gloucester's mind, there is still a chance!
As long as we win the war of attrition for dark energy crystals launched by His Majesty later, we can reopen the channel for transporting supplies from the mainland to the front line.
Judging from the empire's current food reserves, the probability of success is still quite high!
Clenching his fists, Gloucester kept saying this to himself.
------
The central area of the universe, the sun and the empire, the imperial palace.
"We can't wait any longer, and immediately launch a war of attrition of dark energy crystals against the alliance!"
"If they accept the fight, the empire's reserves will be open without restriction until the end of this war of attrition. If the alliance does not respond, supplies will be sent there!"
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
After a guard responded, he immediately went down to deliver the order.
Amlaith looked at Intelligence Secretary Harris.
"Harris, you go to Gallon's side again. To be honest, I still don't have enough confidence in this war of attrition. You can think of a way to show your strength to Gallon and let it support us with some black crystals."
