Chapter 2037: Who Can Last the Longest?
In the Black God civilization's universe, they were basically in a state of mutual consumption.
The battles were relatively intense in the five universes of the Saintess Civilization.
"so far.
Almost a month has passed.
In these three battlefields, we destroyed 300 million enemy interstellar warships.
Our losses were less than ten million interstellar warships, with a casualty ratio of thirty to one.
The main battle losses occurred in the five universes of the Saintess Civilization.
This isn't because Xue Xiaoxiao's side has any problems.
"That's mainly where the enemy's attack is concentrated," Charlotte said through the video window.
Destroy 300 million enemy interstellar warships, while losing 10 million of your own.
This is a perfectly acceptable answer for the Dragon Star Empire.
"I think it's time for the Three Gods Civilization to make another move."
Their first move was to test our strength.
Seeing how stable we are now, they won't continue to wear us down.
Then they'll probably take drastic measures next.
"We need to be prepared to deal with this," Zhao Chen said seriously.
"So, in what areas might they make their move next?" Secretary Lilith asked thoughtfully.
Charlotte thought for a moment and said, "Judging from the current situation..."
I think the most likely scenario is that they've deployed a large force in these five universes of the Holy Maiden Civilization to entice us to bet on this as well.
Then, depending on the situation, send a fleet of interstellar legions to the Holy Kingdom of Ash Star.
The trade routes from the Holy Kingdom of Ash Star are quite important to us.
It's even possible that the focus of this attack will be on the Sacred Kingdom of Ash Star.
Therefore, we must be prepared to provide support to these two battlefields at any time.
I have already given the order.
At least ten legion fleet groups were prepared for battle.
If needed in either of these battlefields.
It can ensure that within 24 hours, three legion fleet groups, totaling ten million interstellar warships, can be deployed to the battlefield.
Within 72 hours, at least 30 million interstellar warships can be deployed.
In this way, no matter how elaborate the enemy's plans are.
We are confident that we can weather this round.
"And once the enemy deploys more than five billion interstellar warships, then it will be time for us to counterattack!"
Charlotte's analysis was heard.
Zhao Chen and Lilith both thought it made a lot of sense and supported Charlotte's plan.
And then.
The war entered its second month.
Just as Charlotte had thought.
The Three Gods Civilization did indeed make its move at this time.
They dispatched 1.5 billion interstellar warships to the five universes of the Holy Maiden Civilization.
Divide these 1.5 billion interstellar warships into three, and use each to attack one of the five universes that were not previously targeted.
In response, the Xiaolong Interstellar Empire deployed an additional 30 million interstellar warships to this area.
Meanwhile.
On the side of the Ash Star Holy Kingdom, the Tri-Gods Civilization dispatched an additional billion interstellar warships.
Furthermore, it was publicly declared that anyone who dared to have contact or trade with the Dragon Star Empire during this period would be considered to have declared war on the Three Gods Civilization.
This is clearly intended to force those interstellar civilizations that have been quietly making a fortune to make a statement at this critical juncture.
If we continue to cooperate with the Dragonflight Interstellar Empire, then we will become enemies of the Three Gods' Civilization, and we can expect to be purged by them after this war.
If you choose to support their Triad civilization, you must sever all cooperation with the Wraith Dragon Interstellar Empire now.
After these three divine beings unleashed their techniques.
The Xiaolong Interstellar Empire also immediately prepared to make arrangements.
"Currently, it appears that the five billion interstellar warships previously assembled by the Three Gods Civilization have all been deployed to our battlefield."
A total of 3.5 billion interstellar warships were deployed in the first battlefield of the Holy Maiden Civilization.
The Ash Star Holy Kingdom, the second battlefield, has 1.5 billion interstellar warships.
And then add the five hundred million interstellar warships of the Black God civilization in the third battlefield universe.
That would amount to 5.5 billion interstellar warships.
It also exceeds the previous intelligence report of five billion interstellar warships.
Of course, it cannot be ruled out that the Tri-Gods civilization will gather even more interstellar warships, which is something we need to be aware of.
The most serious issue right now is the current situation.
Because of the threat posed by the public statement of the Three Gods Civilization.
Currently, half of our foreign trade cooperation has announced that it will be temporarily unable to supply us.
The remaining half also indicated that supply could not be restored in the short term.
Only a very small number of interstellar civilizations, whose relations with the Three Gods Civilization were already quite poor, continued to maintain cooperative relations with us.
However, this will still have a significant impact on us.
If this situation continues...
Our industrial output will decline by 13% in the coming month and will continue for at least three months.
It is expected to eventually fall to around 65% of our peak value.
The main reason is the raw materials.
Previously, these partners paid us for raw materials, and we provided them with finished products.
Although our current industrial system is very developed, even the most skilled cook cannot make a meal without rice.
Even the most advanced industrial system will fail if there is a shortage of raw materials.
Our industrial production lines have been forced to shut down.
Lilith, the secretary, explained the current situation.
This situation caused both Zhao Chen and Charlotte to fall silent for a moment.
It's clear that the Tri-Gods Civilization is truly determined to fight the Wraith Dragon Interstellar Empire to the very end.
Otherwise, they wouldn't have forced those interstellar civilizations to publicly take sides.
Such behavior is very unpopular.
If we can take this opportunity to eliminate the Dragon Star Empire, that would be great.
If they ultimately fail, the reputation of the Triad civilization in these universes will plummet to an extremely low level.
But this has indeed brought enormous trouble to the Xiaolong Interstellar Empire.
This trouble even surpasses any previous one on the field.
"To be honest, we have no way to handle this situation."
Let the Ministry of Commerce try to persuade some people; if we can't transport them openly, we can transport them privately.
The price is negotiable.
In short, no demands will be made; the Ministry of Commerce will negotiate as much as it can.
That's right.
One more thing to add.
For those who are willing to continue cooperating with us now, we can increase our cooperation and investment in them later.
Of course, we will also have any opinions on situations where cooperation cannot continue for the time being.
I can understand their thoughts.
That's what we mean.
Zhao Chen first set the tone for this.
Secretary Lilith nodded; for now, that's the only option.
"The enemy has deployed 5.5 billion interstellar warships."
What about us?
"How much margin for error do we have left?" Zhao Chen asked.
Grand Marshal Charlotte said, "We are currently on the first battlefield, which is the Holy Maiden Civilization."
The number of interstellar warships deployed has reached 60 million, comprising 20 legion fleet groups.
Although the ratio of starships to enemy ships was more than fifty to one.
However, thanks to our logistical support, we are still able to maintain our current situation.
The second battlefield, which is the battlefield of the Ash Star Holy Kingdom.
The enemy deployed a total of 1.5 billion interstellar warships.
Here we are preparing to deploy thirteen legion fleet groups, totaling forty million interstellar warships.
The ratio between the two sides is about thirty to one.
Given the importance of the Holy Kingdom in Ash Star, we place great emphasis on this battlefield.
On the other side of the Black God civilization's universe, the enemy still consists of 500 million interstellar warships.
We have deployed five legion fleets, totaling 15 million interstellar warships.
A ratio of 30 to 1 is enough to maintain the current situation.
Based on this calculation, we have deployed thirty-eight legion fleet groups on the front lines.
We still have twelve legion fleet groups at our disposal, but apart from the Ghost Scout Elite Legion Fleet Group, we haven't deployed any of the other elite legion fleet groups.
There are twelve more.
That's close to forty million interstellar warships.
Don't be fooled by the fact that Zhao Chen currently has such a large number of interstellar warships.
These are all thanks to the fierce fighting of the JF-17 interstellar fleet on the front lines.
If it weren't for the commanders and crew who were so eager to split a starship in two, it would be a miracle.
It was simply impossible to withstand the attack of so many enemy interstellar warships.
Only the commanders on the front lines know the hardships and difficulties behind this.
"Then isn't it time for us to retaliate?!" Lilith clenched her fists, looking expectant.
On the one hand, fighting the enemy like this is really frustrating.
On the other hand, due to the supply of raw materials, logistical problems will soon arise.
From the perspective of Lilith, the secretary in charge of the rear, she naturally hoped that this battle could end as soon as possible.
Grand Marshal Charlotte shook her head and said in a deep voice, "The bullets haven't flown far enough."
We need to wait a little longer, just a little longer.
It was the Grand Marshal's words, "Wait a little longer."
Another half month has passed on the front lines.
Over the past two weeks, the combat pressure on the front lines of the JF-17 fleet has been increasing.
As a result, Emperor Xiaolong even arranged for some interstellar legion fleets to rotate their defenses.
While ensuring that the number of frontline starships remains unchanged, some Starfleet fleets that have been fighting for too long and are in poor condition, as well as Starfleet fleets in the rear, will be replaced.
This can also alleviate the pressure on the front lines.
To relieve the pressure on these Starfleet warriors who have been fighting for a long time.
This war lasted for a month and a half.
The opportunity has been delayed for a long time.
This caused problems to arise within the Three Gods' Civilization as well.
The Supreme Command of the Three Gods Civilization Alliance.
"This can't go on any longer."
"I think we should unleash our trump card now!" A supreme marshal from the Law Enforcement Civilization stood up and slammed his fist on the table, roaring.
"But what we know for certain is that the Xiaolong Interstellar Empire still has at least 40 million interstellar warships that have not been deployed."
Furthermore, the Zerg fleet, whose numbers were previously unknown and had appeared on the battlefield, remained inactive.
This is completely different from our initial thoughts at the beginning of the operation.
We haven't pushed the Dragon Star Empire to its last moment yet!
"If we reveal our trump card now, we might end up being the ones on the defensive!" the Supreme Commander of the Soul Apostle Civilization said in a deep voice.
At this moment, both of them looked at the supreme commander from the Holy Maiden Civilization.
He is also the nominal supreme commander of this coalition.
They both also need to obey her orders and arrangements.
"Not enough."
The opposing marshal is still testing our patience.
The enemy hasn't finished playing all their pieces yet.
We cannot take action at this time.
Activate our backup plan.
Those interstellar civilizations want to join us, don't they?
Let's give them a chance.
Tell them that the opportunity is in front of them now.
Whether they can catch them or not depends on themselves. The War Saintess said, squinting her eyes.
Then.
Some subtle changes occurred during this war between the Triad Civilization and the Wraith Dragon Interstellar Empire.
Ten interstellar civilizations suddenly declared war on the Dragonflight Interstellar Empire, citing a variety of reasons.
These interstellar civilizations include both T5 and T6 types.
In total, nearly one billion interstellar warships were assembled.
I must say, just looking at the numbers is quite frightening.
The fact that these interstellar civilizations launched an attack on the Xiaolong Interstellar Empire at this critical juncture makes their intentions all too obvious.
Among the civilizations in other universes, many are opposed to the existence of the Three Gods' Civilization.
Because they feared order, and the three gods made civilization a tool of order.
Who would like these guys?
Some interstellar civilizations, however, wanted to take a different approach: if they couldn't defeat them, they would join them.
They sought to join the civilization of the Three Gods.
However, the Three Gods' Civilization has one thing in this regard... how to describe it, obsessive-compulsive disorder...
They will attack other interstellar civilizations and annex their interstellar races and peoples.
However, nominal membership is almost never accepted.
Because nominal membership implies granting the other party certain rights and status.
For example, two interstellar civilizations applied to join the Saintess Civilization, but their condition was that they must be given a certain degree of autonomy.
At the same time, one must have a titled saintess position, several grand saintesses, saintess positions, etc. within the Saintess Society.
These conditions were beneath the notice of the Three Gods' Civilization itself.
Therefore, they rarely accept these applications to join.
But now.
The timing is different now than before.
The conditions that the Three Gods Civilization was previously unwilling to accept are now acceptable to them.
After all, compared to those unsightly conditions, the Dragon Star Empire was far more of an eyesore.
All of these extra billion interstellar warships were assigned to the Ash Star Holy Kingdom.
As a result, the total number of interstellar warships deployed by the enemy in the Ash Star Holy Kingdom reached a terrifying 2.5 billion.
It's fair to say that the borders of several universes surrounding the Ash Star Holy Kingdom are completely filled with enemy interstellar warships.
There are dozens of battlefields of varying sizes.
