The strongest commander in the universe

If the Federation's black-armored warships can withstand [-] times the standard attack of a super civilization, then the Empire's Lieyang-class warships can only withstand [-] times, or not even [-] times.

Although in the previous battles, the Lieyang Fleet had all the limelight, but also, almost every time they experienced a high-intensity battle, they had to retreat to the rear to replenish the armor with particles, and their ability to continue fighting was almost at the limit.

Therefore, if the Lieyang Fleet continues to stay on the front line, it may still be able to suppress the alliance's fleet in a short period of time, but after a long time, it will inevitably be slaughtered by the alliance in turn.

As for the Empire's regular fleet, without the cooperation of the Lieyang Fleet, coupled with the chaotic situation of the army, if they continue to fight the alliance, the consequences will not be much better.

And the only way now is to withdraw the fleet first and stabilize the situation in the rear. Although the losses are heavy, at least there are still [-]-[-]% of the supplies, right?

Relying on these supplies, it is no problem to maintain the high-intensity battle for another month or so. As long as the battle situation stabilizes again, Gloucester can mobilize resources from the surrounding affiliated civilizations to replenish this loss.

But if even these [-]% and [-]% are lost, then the entire imperial army will really have to be accounted for here.

As a result, all the affiliated civilization fleets were once again used as cannon fodder and left on the front line to buy time for the imperial fleet to evacuate.

"Commander Gloucester, the order has been given!"

"Very good, send a message to the mainland, explain the situation and ask for support, and at the same time issue an order to all affiliated civilizations adjacent to the theater, let them act immediately, and send me supplies to the front line through cosmic ocean currents!"

"Commander, the situation is critical now. Why don't we use the black channel to let these affiliated civilizations transport supplies. If they go through ocean currents, it will take a whole month!"

After Rogster gave the order, the adjutant on the side asked a little puzzled.

"Don't you know that the alliance has the technology that can destroy our black cavity channel anywhere?"

"Under the current situation, if you were an alliance, after discovering that we opened the black cavity channel to connect those affiliated civilizations, would you not do anything?"

Gloucester looked at his adjutant with some disappointment, and then asked.

The reason is simple. Since the alliance's goal is to destroy its own logistics, it will never give itself the opportunity to build a channel to deliver supplies.

Yes, the empire does have a large amount of dark energy crystals in its hands now, but that is in the mainland, and the front line currently only has a reserve of about 1000 yuan.

Therefore, if you really want to compete with the alliance again in the consumption of dark energy crystallization reserves, it is also a local thing, not the front line.

This is why Gloucester, in addition to asking the affiliated civilizations adjacent to each theater to immediately transport supplies through ocean currents, also reported the situation to the mainland and asked for support from the mainland.

"Commander, I didn't think carefully!"

After realizing his mistake, the adjutant also said immediately.

"Okay, you can arrange it now. Except for the battle area, all other places in the rear will be monitored by warships. Since the alliance's new technology prevents us from detecting the opening of the black cavity channel, we can only use the fastest The original method, relying directly on observation to monitor!"

"This must never happen again!"

Gloucester said to his adjutant very seriously.

"Yes, Commander!"

Chapter 974 Fierce battle in the rear

With the withdrawal of the Sun River Empire's fleet, the situation on the entire battlefield changed suddenly.

The alliance that was suppressed and attacked directly launched a full-scale counterattack, but without the support of the imperial power, those ninety-level civilizations are no match for the alliance.

A one-sided battle has started immediately!

At the same time, behind those super galaxy clusters in the empire-controlled area, the war was also fiercely fought.

However, it is different from the unilateral suppression while taking advantage of the empire's defenselessness in the earliest days.

As more and more fleets withdrew from the front line, the pressure on the federal fleet also increased further.

However, Lin Fan had already faced this situation, and he was not in a hurry. He still let the fleet withstand the pressure and attracted more imperial fleets to return, thus creating opportunities for the alliance army on the front line.

Grinert super galaxy cluster, which is where the headquarters of the Imperial Army is located.

In charge of the offensive here and here is a dreadnought fleet attack group of the Federation, the number is only 50 billion, while the number of battleships on the empire's side has reached 2000 billion, and as time goes by, it is still increasing.

However, the 40 times difference in quantity still made the empire have no way to take the federal fleet at all for a while.

The exile ray with a range of more than 100 AU is simply unsolvable. Every attack can take away at least a few or even a dozen imperial warships.

One after another, pitch-black caverns continued to form, directly sucking the surrounding warships into them, and then disappeared.

Even the Sun River Empire, which is a super civilization, has never seen this kind of attack.

However, even if there is no solution, you still have to rush forward, even if it takes human life to fill it!

If you can't even keep this supply, then even if the surrounding affiliated civilizations start to deliver immediately, the army will not be able to insist on their arrival.

"Commander Gloucester, we can no longer let the regular fleet board, this is simply death!"

On the bridge, the adjutant persuaded Gloucester with the casualty statistics.

If it is filled with human life, if you can rush up in the end, then forget it.

But what is the situation now?

The opponent can hit him, and all defense methods are completely ineffective, and the imperial fleet cannot attack the opponent at all.

This is not a unilateral massacre, what is that?

"No, the few supply bases we have left are all behind the defense line. If we give up the defense line now, have you thought about the consequences?"

"Before the Lieyang Fleet returns, it is absolutely not allowed to retreat, even if it costs tens of billions or even hundreds of billions of warships for this, it will not hesitate!"

It's not that Gloucester doesn't know that his fleet is being slaughtered, but that this line of defense was built with great difficulty, and behind it is the few remaining supply stations of the army.

If these are gone, then without waiting for the affiliated civilization to deliver supplies, it only takes a few days for the entire imperial army to be finished!

"Report to the commander, the Lieyang Fleet is back, and it is expected to arrive at the battlefield in 5 minutes!"

"Okay, great!"

After hearing the communication officer's report, Gloucester was also delighted.

This is indeed good news. Although the weapon used by the opponent is very incomprehensible, according to the analysis of the experts under his command, it is very likely that it is an advanced application technology of the black cavity channel.

That is to directly open a one-way door without protective measures, so that the battleship is directly sucked into the black cavity.

After all, when the black cavity channel is opened, a channel like a tunnel will be formed in the black cavity space between two points, so that the passing warships will not be eroded by the environment in the black cavity.

But the Federation's exile ray is different. It just opens a door, and the outside of the door is like a cliff. As long as you step out, you will fall directly into the abyss.

It is precisely because of this that none of the existing defense methods can play any role, because the exile ray itself does not attack the battleship, but uses the natural pulling force of the black cavity space on the inner matter of the universe to pull the nearby matter Just drag it all in.

And the only thing that can resist this pulling force is the black cavity armor that is also filled with black cavity particles.

However, because the empire's black cavity armor technology is immature and the coverage density is very small, it is still unknown how much defense it can play.

But according to the optimistic guess of experts, it should be able to resist [-]% of the pulling force, and the remaining [-]% can be offset by the power of the battleship itself.

In short, regardless of whether this guess is reliable or not, the Sun Fleet is now Gloucester's last chance.

A few minutes later, after the 30 billion Lieyang-class warships arrived, they immediately launched an assault on the Federation Fleet under the order of Gloucester.

And the rest of the regular fleet, under the leadership of Lieyang Fleet, started to advance again.

Soon, in less than a few seconds, a new wave of attacks arrived, and a large number of dark holes appeared in the void again, the number reaching billions.

However, what is different from before is that this time the pulling force from the black cavity space seems to have weakened a lot, and the empire's Lieyang battleship has adjusted its power to the maximum...

Although it can still be pulled, it is very slow. After more than ten seconds, before the battleship can be dragged in, these dark holes have gradually disappeared.

This time, the tragedy of the previous attack did not occur. Most of the Lieyang warships survived, except for a small number of warships that happened to be sucked away at the entrance of the cave.

"Sure enough, order the Lieyang Fleet, regardless of any cost, to rush over to disrupt the opponent's formation immediately, and the regular fleet will arrive soon!"

"Yes, Commander!"

After watching the whole process of the Federation's offensive, Gloucester's confidence also increased greatly. As long as the Sun Fleet can rush in, then he has the confidence to take down the opposing fleet.

however……

The third attack group of the Federation Dreadnought Fleet, inside the flagship bridge.

"Reporting to the commander, the enemy has launched a new fleet. The attack we just had had little effect. According to the analysis, it should be the Sun River Empire's Sun Fleet from the intelligence, which used the prototype of black cavity armor technology. "

"Understood, proceed according to the second stage of the battle. After locking the coordinates, immediately open the black cavity channel!"

Hearing this news, Carroll, the commander of the third attack group, was not in a hurry and immediately ordered.

"Yes, Commander!"

At the same time, the empire also discovered the change of the federal fleet.

"Commander Gloucester, the enemy has not launched a new attack for 1 minute. According to our observations, the enemy fleet is gathering its array."

"Collect the array, what is this for?"

"The report, according to its behavior analysis, is likely to be retreating!"

"Notify the fleet. If the enemy wants to run, let them go. They can't catch up. Moreover, ensuring the safety of supplies is the top priority now!"

"Yes, Commander!"

Chapter 975 War of Attrition, Restart

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 didn't expect was that the empire actually produced so many Lieyang-class warships, even though they only used the prototype of the black cavity armor technology.

Just like what he said to Altera and Tarovis, 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 formulated before the war, and directly use the surprise attack from the rear and the main force in the front of the alliance to establish the victory in one fell swoop, the result will not change in any way, but...

From one-stage combat to three-stage combat, it just takes a little more time.

"Speaking of which, Gloucester probably thinks that the Federation Fleet is under pressure from the Sun Fleet and chose to retreat, right?"

In the virtual conference room, Altera, who knew the three-stage battle plan, said with a relaxed smile, and the same was true for Tarovis on the side.

"However, we still can't be careless. Even if we destroy [-]% of the supplies on the front line of the Sun River Empire, the remaining supplies are enough for them to fight at a high intensity for a month. Once they jump the wall, although we can still win the victory, the loss is bound to be great. It will be small!"

"That's right, we will fight back to the central area of ​​the universe, which is the old lair of Amlaith, who doesn't know what else he is hiding!"

After hearing Lin Fan's reminder, Altera nodded in agreement.

"Then let's discuss how we should deal with Gloucester after he goes crazy..."

------

While Lin Fan and the other three were discussing the follow-up operations, the federal fleet that raided the supergalaxies and the empire's logistics also left through the black tunnel.

Except for the cannon fodder of the subordinate civilizations on the front line, who are still fighting desperately, the war...

As if at this moment, it was over!

Gloucester, finally free, immediately began to deploy.

In each super galaxy cluster, at least 1000 billion warships were mobilized, with every three warships as a unit, and the maximum distance accurately observed as the radius, directly formed a space that covered every inch of void and was purely composed of warships Monitor the network.

There is only one mission for these warships, to observe the surrounding area around the clock, and immediately report the formation of a black cavity channel, and then the base camp will send a fleet to destroy the channel before the enemy arrives through the channel.

Since the Federation now has the technology to make itself undetectable when opening the channel, then use the most primitive method, visual inspection!

Of course, the universe is impossible to observe visually, and 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 warships required will be very large.

Although in this way, the manually available force will be reduced by almost three trillion warships, but this is very necessary.

Otherwise, when the next war breaks out, what will happen if the human side uses this undetectable black cavity channel to launch another wave of sneak attacks?

however……

While Gloucester was deploying all this, the federal fleet he thought had retreated was like a dagger, piercing seven inches into the imperial army.

an hour later.

Siren……

It rang again.

"what happened!"

Stepping into the bridge quickly, Gloucester shouted directly.

He had just completed the overall deployment and was about to take a break. He had only left the bridge for less than a minute when the alarm sounded.

Is it coming from the alliance, or is it that humans have attacked there again?
