Chapter 1716: Fight for Galaxy X!
"yes."
Return to the interstellar battlefield of Zaun in the shattered universe.
Zhao Chen looked at the star map.
At that moment, Grand Marshal Charlotte's video window popped up.
Zhao Chen looked at Marshal Charlotte and said, "It's just in time that you've arrived."
I was originally planning to come find you too.
Grand Marshal Charlotte guessed what was going on and said, "Is there some intelligence from back home?"
Zhao Chen recounted the intelligence information he had just obtained to Charlotte.
After listening, Charlotte repeated her thoughts, especially regarding two points.
"Negotiation is no problem. We can encourage the Night Elf King Onyne and the Flame Elf King Salam to be bolder."
We'll talk for as long as we can, as long as we can buy time.
Even if we staged a surrender ceremony and delayed the process for another three to five days, it wouldn't be a problem at all.
Surrender ceremony.
Zhao Chen couldn't help but chuckle; this might really have crossed the line for both Kaguya Elf King Onyne and Flame Elf King Salam.
"As for the tactics that the Flame Elf King Salamander is currently employing, I've already mentioned it before, and there's no problem with it."
If necessary, timed or trigger-activated bacterial bombs, poison gas bombs, and so on can be placed on those evacuated planets.
This will trigger when those conquerors of civilization log in!
Hearing Charlotte's additional information, Zhao Chen felt a pang of sorrow for the Conqueror Civilization.
Fortunately, they encountered the Kaguya Elf King Onyne and the Flame Elf King Salam.
At most, they'll try to negotiate with you and buy you some time.
But if it were Charlotte, she might not actually do what she said.
After so many years of fighting, Charlotte has gradually come to prioritize victory, and nothing else can affect her state of mind anymore; reputation is even less important.
She just wanted to protect her husband, children, and family.
It's that simple.
“I have had someone relay your words.”
But I can't guarantee whether they'll actually use it.
After all, they are, in essence, high elves of the Holy Elf Empire.
Charlotte has already expressed her thoughts; whether or not the two elven kings use her is up to them.
Charlotte didn't say anything more.
"Regarding the Conqueror civilization's super T6-class interstellar warships, collect as much combat data as possible for each one."
When it's our turn to deal with it, we can then plan our battle strategy accordingly.
"Destroy these enemy interstellar ships while minimizing our own casualties." Charlotte had already planned to turn back and deal with the conqueror civilization later.
The matter of the conqueror civilization was quickly concluded.
Charlotte began to explain the important matter she had come to Zhao Chen about.
The real matter, of course, concerns the great battle in Zaun, the shattered universe.
"It has been almost two months since we arrived in Zaun, the shattered universe."
We have four months left to conclude this sworn duel within the original six-month period.
Now, we have confirmed that the Black God Emperor is in this X star system, and we have also opened a passage to the X star system, sending our entire legion fleet there.
This means that what awaits us next is a decisive battle.
Everything is going smoothly; perhaps the Black God Emperor has some tricks up his sleeve.
But no matter what, we must take over Galaxy X in the shortest possible time.
This is our only chance to achieve our initial strategic objectives!
Hearing this important topic being brought up, Zhao Chen perked up.
He asked directly, "Have you decided when to launch the attack?"
How long will it take to take over this X-galaxy?
Grand Marshal Charlotte looked at the X star system on the interstellar war sand table and said, "We have made all the preparations on our side."
First, within the next five hours, we will construct an encirclement around Galaxy X.
During these five hours, once we select a suitable location, we will set it up as a bridgehead position.
At that time, we will use the Nantianmen starship to establish a stargate and send all our interstellar transport ships and interstellar supply ships over there.
Conduct a resupply of all our starships.
The resupply time is approximately five hours, so there is no need to resupply all personnel before launching an attack.
All we need to do is ensure that the first wave of attacking starships has completed its resupply.
This creates a temporal overlap.
Once the second echelon of starfleet has completed its resupply, it will then take over the attack positions of the first echelon.
This will save us a lot of time.
Charlotte's idea is common in military command and is theoretical knowledge from books.
However, very few of them can actually be achieved.
However, this operation seems to have become the norm within the JF-17 fleet.
"Regarding the Nantianmen starship, all preparations have been completed."
"As long as Xue Xiaoxiao and Leona send the signal, we can proceed with the plan," Zhao Chen said.
Charlotte continued, "So, this preparation phase will not exceed ten hours."
If the X-galaxy's Devouring Civilization Legion fleet launches an attack within this hour, we have a backup plan to hold them off.
If the legion fleet that devoured civilizations did not take the initiative to attack.
Then, at the appointed time, we will launch our fiercest attack and strive to take over Galaxy X in the shortest possible time.
But to be honest, I don't know how long it will take to take down Galaxy X.
According to our current information, the Black God Emperor has built several stargates in the X star system, which can quickly deploy large fleets of the Devouring Civilization Legion to fight here.
Therefore, this will be a very tough nut to crack.
At the same time, I can foresee that this will be the bloodiest and most deadly interstellar battle in this oath-taking duel.
In fact, I've already made arrangements to organize several reinforcement fleet groups to be deployed.
By then, the outcome of other battles will no longer matter; all our bets will be placed on the X system.
Galaxy X must be taken!
Grand Marshal Charlotte's tone was very decisive.
It's clear that this spot, which wasn't originally on the chessboard, has now become a battleground for both sides.
However, Zhao Chen could tell that even Charlotte wasn't very confident about this military operation.
Because this is another battle, Charlotte cannot give a timeframe, or even a rough estimate.
This shows that Charlotte really has no confidence.
This battle in Galaxy X could last three days, a week, half a month, or even half a month.
It could even take longer.
Even the two legion fleets originally envisioned are now unlimited in Charlotte's hands, and can be drawn from other battlefields whenever needed!
"Actually, I've always suspected that the Black God Emperor hasn't yet deployed the legion fleets of the other three reinforcement civilizations to the battlefield. Perhaps the Black God Emperor will deploy them in the X star system."
Therefore, we must take precautions.
However, given the current situation, if we take precautions against these factors, it will inevitably lead to a reduction in the intensity of our offensive.
But if we don't take precautions and something like this really happens to us, our losses will be enormous.
I haven't made any plans for that yet.
Zhao Chen noticed the worried look on Charlotte's face.
Zhao Chen then gave him a reassuring look and said, "Go ahead and do what you want."
Me, your comrades, and your fleet.
They will trust you unconditionally.
Don't forget, you are the First Grand Marshal of our Dragonflight Interstellar Empire!
Charlotte felt encouraged by Zhao Chen.
She smiled confidently, then said firmly, "In short, we will spare no effort to take over the X Galaxy!"
Zhao Chen nodded, offering his full support.
"Regarding the Fourth and Fifth Fleet Groups of the JF-17 Thunder, and those fleets surrounding the shipping lanes, I heard you've already made arrangements for their follow-up?" Zhao Chen couldn't help but ask about this matter.
Charlotte nodded and then said, "Currently, the main force of our legion fleet has arrived around the X star system."
Subsequent transportation tasks can be handled by the deployed Nantianmen starship.
Therefore, flight routes are no longer important to us.
However, the evacuation of those corps and fleets along the shipping route must indeed be properly arranged.
They have already launched their all-out attack for this plan, and we cannot let them sacrifice themselves in vain.
This is how I arranged it.
The corps fleet on this route split in two at this point.
One part evacuated towards the X galaxy, while the other part evacuated towards our side.
They evacuated one by one, instead of all at once.
This arrangement can prevent the fleet from retreating without coordination, which could lead to attacks on its flanks or being surrounded.
Zhao Chen looked at the simulation Charlotte was unfolding on the interstellar map.
You can see the star system they control, the shipping route connecting to the X star system, and if you zoom in, you can see the interstellar fleet on it.
Then, in the middle of this route, the two fleets began to regroup and withdraw towards each other.
From then on, this route was completely cut off, and its purpose was fulfilled.
Afterwards, the two fleets quickly joined up with the next fleet in their respective directions. They cooperated with each other to reduce losses and consolidate their fleets.
And so on.
This arrangement allows the interstellar fleets that were originally guarding the shipping lanes to withdraw to a safe area with minimal casualties.
After watching the simulation, Zhao Chen nodded in satisfaction.
He then asked a heavy question.
"How many casualties have we suffered so far in order to build this route?"
Upon hearing Zhao Chen's question...
Charlotte's expression also turned serious.
Charlotte was naturally very concerned about this data, because the number of interstellar warships lost and how many could reach System X were crucial for the subsequent battles.
"So far, the original plan was to reach Galaxy X within forty hours."
However, with the cooperation of the JF-17 Fourth Fleet Group, the JF-17 Fifth Fleet Group, and other elite fleet groups.
They arrived at Galaxy X ahead of schedule in less than thirty-six combat hours.
In this process, we lost a total of...20% of our starships.
There are a total of 500,000 interstellar warships.
The number of enemy interstellar warships destroyed reached eight million!
Even though we attacked at all costs, we still achieved very brilliant results! Charlotte said with a proud and self-satisfied expression as she stated these figures.
"That means we now have 2.5 million interstellar warships in the X star system."
"In less than forty hours, we lost half a million interstellar warships..." Zhao Chen read the number aloud, telling the truth.
He found it hard to believe when he heard the number.
In just forty hours, they managed to inflict losses equivalent to what might take a month for an entire star system battlefield.
But this was inevitable, after all, it was a high-intensity offensive operation, an offensive at all costs.
What's surprising is that they achieved such a remarkable kill-to-death ratio.
This is enough to show that these JF-17 fleets maintain a high level of combat proficiency in any battlefield environment and in any combat mode.
At this point, Charlotte added, "These corps and fleets that have been withdrawn this time will inevitably suffer a fierce counterattack from the enemy."
Therefore, executing my evacuation plan would reduce their casualties.
But... I've calculated it.
It is estimated that at least 100,000 interstellar warships will still be unable to be withdrawn.
One hundred thousand interstellar warships.
Hearing this number, Zhao Chen was also somewhat moved.
But there was no other way; it was all for this military operation against the X-galaxy.
"You've all done your best," Zhao Chen said seriously.
After the brief meeting concluded.
The next step, naturally, is preparation.
Meanwhile, on the other side, according to the message sent back by the Ghost Scout Ace Legion fleet, during this period, the Devouring Civilization was indeed trying to send more legion fleets to support the X star system.
So far, intelligence has confirmed that at least 30 million interstellar warships are on their way to provide reinforcements.
Meanwhile, the Devouring Civilization also attempted to withdraw troops from the main battlefields in various locations.
At this point, the Dragon Legion fleets would naturally not let these legion fleets that devour civilizations go easily.
Almost all legion fleets issued orders to hold the enemy at all costs and prevent them from reinforcing the battlefield in the X system.
At this moment, everyone is united in purpose, all for the sake of the battle in Galaxy X.
This battle determined the course of this vowed duel!
