Chapter 1353: Complete the task assigned by my brother
The debut of the near-T7 black interstellar warship.
This directly led to a sharp deterioration in the current battlefield situation.
Because almost no interstellar warship could stand a chance against this black behemoth.
Fortunately, under Princess Blanche's orders, all the starships retreated at full speed, maintaining a combat distance from the near-T7 black starship.
Because any T5 or lower-level interstellar warship that enters the combat range of this near-T7 black interstellar warship...
There will only be one outcome.
All they could do was wait.
"Your Highness."
Is this near-T7 black interstellar warship the enemy that the Xiaolong Empire fleet will face in those main battlefields?
"That's too powerful!" The secretary beside him, staring at the black behemoth in the distance, couldn't help but swallow hard.
I had heard about it before, but seeing it with my own eyes now, I truly understand just how powerful this near-T7 black interstellar warship really is!
Princess Blanche spoke quietly: "During this time, if it weren't for the Emperor personally leading the Imperial Fleet to fight on the front lines..."
Our homeland has long been invaded by these disgusting creatures.
"I just didn't know about the current situation."
Will the Xiaolong Empire fleet be able to promptly dispatch troops to support us?
I've heard that, apart from the five major battlefields...
"There are nearly a hundred small battlefields like ours within the territory of the Dragon Empire!" the secretary said worriedly.
Princess Blanche's gaze was fixed on the dark, near-T7 interstellar warship in the distance.
"I believe in His Majesty the Emperor."
Nearly ten minutes passed.
The near-T7 black interstellar warship continued to advance the battle line, and Princess Blanche arranged for the fleet to give way.
This allowed it to move about as if it were in an empty place.
Fortunately, the casualties are still within a controllable range.
However, if it continues to develop, the area behind it will become an important resource-producing region for the Warhammer Starfleet Federation.
That was the final line.
If they retreat there, then Princess Blanche's fleet will truly be unable to retreat any further.
"Why...why hasn't it arrived yet?" The secretary wiped the sweat from her forehead, looking somewhat nervous.
"How much defensive depth do we have?" Princess Blanche asked.
The secretary pointed to the last remaining yellow line on the star map.
“That’s all...that’s all left,” the secretary replied.
Princess Blanche said in a deep voice, "No matter what, this important resource-producing area must not be damaged."
Relay my orders and contact the Royal Guard fleet.
Tell them that we will fight to the death to resist the enemy's attack at the last line of defense.
We will not retreat another step!
"Yes!" The secretary was a little nervous, but still conveyed the order.
The secretary quickly replied.
"The message has been sent to our own legion's fleet."
The Guardian Legion fleet also received a reply.
The opposing fleet commander stated.
"They will launch a counterattack at the last line of defense, buying us one last chance." The secretary finished speaking, then muttered, "Launching a counterattack now... isn't that just suicide?"
"It's all to buy time." Princess Blanche turned her head and saw the Royal Guard fleet in the distance to the side through the porthole on the side of the bridge.
A sense of admiration arose spontaneously.
Whether it's the first- or second-tier JF-17 main fleet, or the Guardian Legion fleet currently in front of us, which is considered to be third-tier.
They all embody the spirit of the Dragon Empire!
Just then.
Suddenly, flames appeared on the hull of the godlike, near-T7 black interstellar warship in the distance.
"Your Highness! Look!"
"Look at that near-T7 black interstellar warship! It looks like it's under attack!" The secretary suddenly pointed excitedly at the flames on the screen.
Princess Blanche looked over immediately.
Soon, they saw that around the near-T7 black interstellar warship, there were interstellar warships bearing the emblem of the owl dragon that had appeared at some point.
Look closely.
They discovered that these were the interstellar stealth bombers of the Dragon Empire!
The ship's hull is adorned with the JF-17 Dragon emblem, along with another emblem.
That represents the Shadow Hunter's elite fleet!
Three thousand stealth interstellar bombers appeared one after another, all of their cannons aimed at the near-T7 black interstellar warship that had already fallen into the net.
This is a fleet of stealth bombers consisting of T5 Dark Wolf King-class medium stealth bombers and T4 Shadow Demon-class light stealth bombers.
Although there are no T6-class stealth bombers.
However, it is more than enough to deal with the current situation.
Even if the target is a near-T7 black interstellar warship.
These interstellar stealth bombers were under attack from interstellar torpedoes and interstellar missiles at such close range.
The ship was riddled with gunfire from top to bottom.
It's like a giant black whale being adorned with countless 'flowers'.
Princess Blanche stared at the scene.
The secretary next to her had already gripped the hem of her military uniform tightly; if it weren't for the good quality of the uniform, it would probably have been torn long ago.
final!
A gasp of surprise rang out.
"Report! The energy intensity of that near-T7 level is rapidly decreasing!" The bridge officer monitoring the situation shouted in surprise.
"Very good!
"We won!" The secretary leaped three meters into the air, excitedly waving his fist.
If you look closely at this point, you'll find that this secretary actually looks a bit like a kangaroo man.
Princess Blanche took a deep breath, controlling her expression, and then said, "Now it's time for us to do our part."
Don't waste the opportunities that others have fought for us.
Relay my orders.
The original battle plan was revised.
"Immediately launch a counterattack, surround all the dark interstellar warships, and simultaneously cover the Shadow Hunter elite fleet's stealth bombers as they withdraw from the core battlefield."
"Yes!" The secretary immediately and excitedly carried out the order.
Without the deterrent effect of the near-T7 black interstellar warships, the remaining black interstellar warships posed little threat to them.
Most of those stealth bombers had already finished dropping their bombs and needed to evacuate, so they naturally needed support and cover from friendly ships.
The Royal Guard fleet was also doing the same thing in perfect unison.
At that moment, a video communication window appeared in front of Princess Blanche.
Opposite him was an officer dressed in a specially made black military uniform.
Princess Blanche knew.
Currently, among the first and second-line fleets of the Xiaolong Empire, only the Imperial Guard Fleet, besides those elite fleet groups, possesses specially designed military uniforms.
Princess Blanche.
Our fleet was ordered to come to our aid.
"We have now completed our mission and will withdraw from the battlefield." The opposing officer was rather unusual; he did not specify which fleet or unit he belonged to.
This is a right reserved only for the Shadow Hunter Ace Fleet.
Unless facing Emperor Zhao Chen or Five-Star Marshal Charlotte, any Shadow Hunter Elite Fleet Group's subordinate legions or fleets can choose not to report their unit number when communicating with other legion fleets.
It's important to know that the hull numbers of all the interstellar warships in the Shadow Hunter Ace Fleet are also hidden.
Therefore, to outsiders, apart from the style, every interstellar stealth bomber looks exactly the same.
Everyone can understand this.
After all, the Shadow Hunter Elite Fleet is a team that operates in the shadows, and it is said that they also cooperate with the Royal Guards to carry out some secret missions.
In terms of mystery, it's definitely top-notch.
This elite fleet of Shadow Hunters made a clean escape.
Flagship Bridge
The fleet captain took a deep breath and pressed the communication button next to her: "Report, this is Shadow Hunter IV."
The hunting mission has been completed.
Awaiting instructions.
Soon, a voice came from the other end.
"Shadow Hunter IV, now proceeding from the nearest stargate to the designated starport for resupply."
Half an hour later, a new combat mission will commence.
"Yes." Upon receiving the order, the Shadow Hunter elite fleet immediately set off.
They came without a trace and left without a sound.
This is the style of the Shadow Hunter Ace Fleet.
The Shadow Hunter Ace Fleet's highest flagship at this moment
Zhao Wan'er stood solemnly on her command platform, looking at the star map of the Xiaolong Empire before her.
There is also a document above containing detailed information about the various battlefields within the territory of the Dragon Empire at this moment.
This includes the appearance of near-T7 black interstellar warships, as well as the situation on various battlefields.
"So far, four near-T7 black interstellar warships have appeared."
Based on our previous calculations.
As long as our fleet can silently infiltrate the vicinity of the target and launch an attack within the nearest range.
The target can be killed by consuming about 70% of the ammunition of a fleet.
"The fleet that has completed its mission will immediately proceed to the nearest military starport to replenish its supplies and await further operational orders," the secretary beside Zhao Wan'er said.
"Just four?" Zhao Wan'er squinted.
"So far, there are only four."
"Perhaps it's because that strange 'ink' is so small. It's impossible for nearly a hundred 'inks' to produce nearly a hundred near-T7 black interstellar warships," the secretary said afterward.
He immediately covered his mouth and spat three times to the side.
He muttered under his breath, "What a jinx!"
"You're right, we need to prepare for the worst."
Sending the fleet to the nearest military starport for resupply after the battle is a good option.
But it's not the fastest option.
Ask Lilith, the secretary, for permission.
Grant me a batch of interstellar supply ships to accompany my fleet.
After the combat mission is over, resupply ammunition directly in the nearest safe area.
"In this way, we can save half the time!" Zhao Wan'er said seriously.
“Okay, I’ll go apply.” The secretary immediately went to handle the matter.
Zhao Wan'er stared at the imperial star map in front of her, and she had a premonition.
The enemy's attack was definitely not that simple.
The threat of four near-T7 black interstellar warships was not enough to plunge the entire Xiaolong Empire into chaos.
Even bigger storms are yet to come.
"Report: A near-T7 black interstellar warship has appeared in the **** star system!"
"Report: A near-T7 black interstellar warship has appeared in the **** star system!"
"Report: A near-T7 black interstellar warship has also appeared in the **** star system."
At the same time, three near-T7 black interstellar warships appeared.
Fortunately, this was still within the capabilities of the Shadow Hunter Elite Fleet.
It's not a very difficult thing.
Zhao Wan'er immediately dispatched the three Shadow Hunter fleets closest to the scene of the incident to provide support.
"Marshal, good news!"
"Secretary Lilith has agreed and will arrange a special fleet of interstellar supply ships to support our operations," the secretary said excitedly as she ran over.
Zhao Wan'er breathed a sigh of relief, and said with emotion, "Now, all five main battlefields are under considerable pressure and require interstellar supply ships."
"For Secretary Lilith to be able to free up a batch of interstellar supply ships for us at a time like this, she must be under considerable pressure herself."
The secretary nodded in agreement.
She was also a secretary, so she knew all too well how stressful that position was.
"My brother trusts me, which is why he entrusted me with this important task."
"No matter what, we Shadow Hunters must complete this mission perfectly!" Zhao Wan'er clenched her fists and said firmly!
Battlefield One: Dragon Emperor Starship - Bridge
"Did Wan'er contact you just now?" Zhao Chen looked at Lilith, who had finally managed to free herself from the conversation.
During this period, Lilith, as the chief secretary, was extremely busy, needing to handle various matters.
Lilith nodded and said, "Wan'er has requested a batch of interstellar supply ships."
By following her fleet into battle, there would be no need to travel to the nearest military starport to resupply after a mission.
I think that makes a lot of sense.
It also takes into account the current situation in various parts of our empire.
They devised a way to allocate a batch of interstellar supply ships to her.
Zhao Chen walked to Lilith's side and saw a bead of sweat on her forehead.
He reached out and gently wiped it.
Lilith, a succubus, blushed slightly at this moment.
"Your Majesty, there are people watching here."
"What's wrong with someone?"
"I feel sorry for my wife, is that illegal?" Zhao Chen snorted indifferently.
Then he looked at Lilith with some pity.
Lilith hasn't had a proper rest lately, and she doesn't look well.
"Lilith, you should also take care to rest."
After all, your current physical condition is quite special.
Don't overwork yourself.
What is the purpose of the secretarial department you set up yourself? Isn't it to have them help you with your work?
Don't take on everything yourself.
Hearing Zhao Chen's words, Lilith felt a warmth in her heart.
She gently stroked her lower abdomen.
She is currently pregnant, and her physical condition is indeed not as good as before.
But now is a critical moment for the empire, how could she possibly relax?
"Don't worry, I'll take good care of myself," Lilith said softly.
Zhao Chen sighed.
He also wanted to help Lilith, but many of Lilith's jobs were irreplaceable. It wouldn't be a problem for Zhao Chen to lead troops into battle or even engage in hand-to-hand combat.
However, when it comes to calculating the various aspects of imperial logistics, Zhao Chen is truly inferior to a professional secretary.
He could only supervise Lilith from the sidelines and arrange for her to rest from time to time.
Zhao Chen gazed at the map of the Xiaolong Empire, which was engulfed in war.
I wonder when this disruption to order will finally end!
They're just like mosquitoes, they never stop!
