Chapter 1088: Demon Castle Battle
Demon King's Castle Galaxy·Demon King's Castle
"Your Majesty, all I need is for you to hold back the enemy army for a month."
When my master's powerful legion fleet arrives, it will change the course of this whole situation.
This is your only chance.
A fist pierced through the light and shadow, leaving the Demon King disheveled and somewhat disoriented.
"Your Majesty, all I need is for you to hold back the enemy army for a month."
When my master's powerful legion fleet arrives, it will change the course of this whole situation.
This is your only chance.
The sounds from within the light and shadow continued to emanate.
The Demon King angrily shut it down.
He was breathing heavily, and his aura was very menacing.
He knew he was being used by the other party; in fact, even before the cooperation, the two sides had been in a relationship of mutual exploitation.
He also coveted the technology the other party possessed, hoping to use it to strengthen his demon race's military power and eventually get rid of them.
But now it seems that in the end he became a pawn of the other side.
Using their demon army fleet, they are holding back the enemy's main force here.
Although we don't know what their purpose is, they are definitely plotting something.
He was merely a tool in the hands of the other party.
No! I still have a chance!
I still have a chance.
"As long as a third party intervenes, the universe will become even more chaotic, and I will still have a chance to make a comeback!" the Demon King said with a sinister grin.
He's like someone who's fallen into a well; he'll try every possible way to seize any opportunity, no matter how small.
Even if the rope that was thrown down is full of thorns.
"Hahaha, I won't lose!"
I won't lose!
The Demon King's maniacal laughter echoed throughout the entire Demon King's Palace.
Following this, the Dragon Legion fleet, the Angel Legion fleet, and the Machine Legion fleet also reached the border of the Demon King City system in mid-August.
After a brief five-day rest.
Around August 20th, 3036 in the Galactic Calendar, the three-way allied forces launched an offensive against the Demon King City system.
The two sides have roughly equal troop strength.
The three-way allied forces had amassed two million interstellar warships, and some interstellar fleets were dealing with stubborn resistance in other demonic territories.
Within the Castlevania system, there are approximately 2.7 million interstellar warships, in addition to the defensive fortifications built using a large amount of the Demon race's reserves.
This battle is arguably the largest battle in the known universe in nearly a thousand years.
In the first few days, the three-way allied forces' offensive was slow, and they relied on the firepower coverage of the interstellar missile ships.
They gradually eroded the defenses of the Demon City system, slowly dismantling the bridgehead positions established by the demons.
To avoid excessive casualties during the offensive, a protracted war of attrition did not occur.
But this also means that the ammunition consumption of the three-way coalition forces has reached a terrifying level.
"This war is like burning money."
In just one day, strategic resources worth fifty trillion star coins were consumed.
"If it weren't for our interstellar transport fleet operating at full capacity, just maintaining this level of attrition would be extremely difficult." Lilith rubbed her temples, looking at the battlefield's attrition over the past few days with a headache.
Although this situation was anticipated long before the attack was launched.
But when I actually saw that string of numbers in front of me, my heart still felt a little uncomfortable.
"This is not something we alone should bear."
Moreover, as we agreed beforehand, the combat resources consumed in this battle, especially the interstellar missiles, will be allocated accordingly.
Although most of them are produced and supplied by us.
However, the expense will still be shared by all three parties, even though we agreed in advance on a very favorable price for the interplanetary missile.
But at least we can guarantee that we won't lose or gain anything in this war." Zhao Chen revealed a shrewd businessman's expression.
Lilith rolled her eyes. Fortunately, the commander had discussed the proposal with the Angels and Machines. Otherwise, the Falcon would have had to invest an unknown amount of resources in this war.
The other two parties agreed because the JF-17 had mastered the technology.
Those who master technology often gain control over the discourse.
Moreover, everyone wants to eliminate the demon race's current regime and power completely.
"How is the construction plan going with the three chief engineers?" Zhao Chen asked, bringing up a task he had previously assigned.
Lilith pulled up the relevant information and said, "The three chief engineers had already conducted a preliminary investigation of the five industrial bases that the Machine Race had given us a month ago."
And relevant production plans were made.
In addition to the production of regular interstellar warships.
The most important thing is the production plan for two T6 starships.
As per your request, the T6 Wrath of the Goddess-class interstellar heavy artillery ship is the top priority.
The three chief engineers spent some time assigning the production of 50% of the less critical parts for the T6 Wrath Goddess-class interstellar heavy artillery ship to the five industrial bases of the Mech race, which could greatly save production time.
The remainder will be produced by our industrial base in the Xiaolong Galaxy.
It is expected to take about three months to finally roll off the production line and enter service.
It can be delivered before the end of October and will be operational by November.
As for the other T6 Nantianmen starship, it will be delivered before the end of December and will achieve combat readiness next year.
Listening to Lilith's report.
Zhao Chen sighed softly: "It seems that there is not much chance that the T6 Goddess of Wrath-class interstellar heavy gunship will be able to catch up with this offensive against the Demon Race."
According to Charlotte's final plan, the battle against the Castlevania system could be concluded by the end of October.
Even if they manage to make it in time, the T6 Wrath of Goddess-class interstellar heavy artillery ship will likely only be able to catch up with the final curtain call.
After saying this, Zhao Chen fell into deep thought again.
Lilith noticed Zhao Chen's expression and asked, "Commander, what have you been thinking about these past few days?"
As her secretary, Lilith had noticed the commander frequently wearing this thoughtful expression in the past few days.
Zhao Chen sighed and said with a solemn expression, "The matter of the Demon Race, the matter of the Mechanical God Cult, and the strange life energy signals we recently learned about."
These issues have remained unresolved, especially the last two.
It makes me very uneasy.
I have a feeling that many of these secrets may lie on the other side of that Gaia Gate.
The leader of the Machine Race also said before he went into hibernation that as long as I could travel to the other side of the Gaia Gate.
You will then be able to learn some secrets.
So I've been thinking about the current situation.
Should I go now, or wait until this war is over?
