Chapter 1405: Fireline appointment!
"Breaking news! Two waves of invaders from the Devouring Civilization have appeared in the Luoyang 11 and Luoyang 04 star systems!"
Secretary Lilith nervously reported the situation to Zhao Chen.
Zhao Chen looked at the two red areas that were constantly expanding on the interstellar war sandbox.
Zhao Chen, however, did not panic excessively.
Knowing the sheer size of the Devouring Civilization's massive fleet, and knowing that this invasion only involved 15 million interstellar warships.
He had made all the necessary preparations in his mind.
This includes the possibility that the enemy will send additional starfleet.
"It seems that the enemy has also realized that the 15 million interstellar warships they have dispatched to the three battlefields they have just opened up are not enough to defeat us."
Therefore, they chose to open up two new battlefields.
Furthermore, the locations of these two new battlefields were chosen very well.
They all revolve around the Luoyang star system, forming a triangular pattern. Zhao Chen looked at the three red areas, one large and two small.
It perfectly surrounds the star system where Luoyang City is located.
"This time, it is estimated that the enemy did it intentionally, with their target being Luoyang City and the cosmic star gate we are building."
According to the information previously provided by the Flame Elf King.
This kind of inter-space travel and delivery capability.
It requires extremely high spatial stability.
Most of these types of devices have limitations.
We estimate that, given the current situation, even a civilization-devouring interstellar space transport system could only sustain a fleet of five million interstellar warships within a single galaxy.
Furthermore, not all star systems can serve as locations for space-based delivery.
"This also requires selection." Zhao Chen pointed to the location on the interstellar sand table: "Judging from the current situation..."
The enemy's attack also made them aware of the importance of our Luoyang city and the cosmic stargate that is under construction.
Because Luoyang City itself possesses space-related functions, it is impossible for outsiders to send teleports to it within the star system in which Luoyang City is located.
The same situation applies to the galaxy where the cosmic stargate is located.
Therefore, the only way to attack these two locations is by attacking the surrounding star systems.
"That means the enemy will send another ten million interstellar warships to the two new battlefields!" Lilith said with a frown and some worry.
“I don’t think it’s necessarily ten million ships,” Charlotte’s holographic image said. “If I were the commander of the Devouring Civilization’s invasion fleet this time...”
I will keep a portion of the Starfleet in my possession.
This part of the Starfleet can adapt to changing circumstances.
On the one hand, it continuously supplies various battlefields, keeping the size of the Devouring Civilization Legion fleets on each battlefield at five million ships, so that they can continuously exert high pressure on us!
Secondly, if there is an opportunity.
They could then choose a star system and launch a fierce, high-intensity attack, thereby tearing open a breach in the battlefield!
Zhao Chen placed his hand on his chin and said thoughtfully, "At this point, it comes down to how much military resources each side has."
All six of our Imperial Legion fleets have been deployed to the battlefield, with only a few elite fleets remaining on standby.
In addition, there are two more fleets of the Holy Elf Legion, totaling two million interstellar warships that can be mobilized.
"The primary issue now is to resolve the immediate problems."
We need to use our fleet to block the two newly added battlefields.
"But right now, we have very few fleets at our disposal." Lilith sighed, looking troubled.
Zhao Chen looked at Charlotte: "Do you have a plan now?"
Charlotte looked at the interstellar war sand table and slowly said, "There are only two ways."
The first option is to draw some fleets from the existing six Imperial Legion fleets, and additionally draw some fleets from various parts of our Empire, to form two Legion fleets to be responsible for these two new battlefields.
The second option is to entrust these two new battlefields to the Holy Elf Legion fleet, which also has two million interstellar warships.
While using this on these two battlefields wouldn't solve the problem, it could at least buy some time.
Zhao Chen took a deep breath.
Insufficient manpower!
This is the most troublesome problem for the Dragon Empire right now.
"You said before that we still have some extra interstellar warships, right?" Zhao Chen looked at Lilith.
Lilith nodded.
"Approximately how many?" Zhao Chen asked directly.
“A total of 300,000 ships,” Lilith replied.
"The previously arranged plan to support the various legion fleet groups and make up for the losses has been temporarily suspended."
These 300,000 interstellar warships were divided into three Imperial fleet groups, each with a size of 100,000 ships.
Two of them were sent to two new battlefields.
The remaining team serves as a reserve, ready to be deployed at any time.
Then, combining what was said before, let the Holy Elf Legion fleet take the lead.
"Charlotte, do you think this arrangement is feasible?" Zhao Chen looked at Charlotte.
Charlotte nodded: "This is indeed the most suitable one."
We cannot relinquish complete control of the battlefield to the Holy Elf Legion fleet; otherwise, if anything unexpected happens on the battlefield, we may be attacked from both sides!
This arrangement leaves us with at least some flexibility.
"Then you should go and make arrangements for this."
It is quite difficult to temporarily assemble a legion fleet group.
But we must hurry, within twenty hours.
The three Imperial fleet groups must be established.
Before that, I will contact the Holy Elf Legion fleet and ask them to take over.
Our troops will take over within twenty hours.
"But our combat strength must be guaranteed." Zhao Chen looked at Charlotte seriously.
Charlotte nodded and said confidently, "That's not a problem. Although those interstellar warships are in reserve, the personnel for each one have been arranged."
We are ready for battle at any time.
The formation of the legion fleet was quite sudden.
However, we already have the corresponding systems and rules, which can be established in a short period of time.
The most important thing is the leadership team.
To form three Imperial Legion fleet groups, the first step is to appoint three fleet group commanders.
Zhao Chen thought for a moment.
He read out three names: "Qingman, Wei Shishi, and Mi Daier."
Qingman, the snake woman, was once a trusted general under Medusa. After Medusa joined the Dragon Slayer Legion, Qingman followed her all the way to where she is now.
He holds an important position in the JF-17 Thunder Legion.
Currently, he is the deputy commander of the First Fleet Group of the JF-17 Thunder.
Wei Shishi was once a confidante of Princess Qin Xiaolei of the Starry Empire and a comrade-in-arms who fought alongside Zhao Ruyue.
Since the Starry Empire became a kingdom and joined the Dragon Empire, she also joined the Dragon Legion and is currently the deputy commander of the Dragon Third Legion Fleet.
Midale is Charlotte's half-sister, a member of the White Tiger tribe, a half-orc.
He greatly admires his older sister and, through his own abilities, passed all the tests at the military academy to enlist and has now risen to become the deputy commander of the JF-17 Second Fleet Group.
All three of them hold the rank of Imperial General!
“Okay.” Charlotte nodded in agreement.
These three candidates are all Imperial Admirals and have served as deputy commanders of Legion fleet groups, possessing extensive experience in this field.
"Then contact them immediately and have them quickly hand over their work!"
As for the conferment ceremony, we are currently in a special period, so everything will be kept simple.
You can simply issue the appointments for them.
As for their military ranks, they will retain their current rank of Imperial General. Whether they will be awarded the rank of Marshal later will depend on their performance in this mission.
Zhao Chen said seriously.
“Okay, then I’ll contact them myself,” Charlotte nodded.
We then talked about a few more things.
Charlotte immediately went to make arrangements for this matter.
She contacted them one by one.
"By order of His Majesty the Emperor, Wei Shishi, deputy commander of the Third Fleet Group of the Xiaolong Army, is temporarily relieved of her current duties."
"Hand over the current work and command of the fleet in the shortest possible time!" Charlotte announced the order from the window.
Marshal Medusa and General Wei Shishi, among others, were all surprised the moment they heard this.
Dismissal?
Removing a high-ranking commander from his post during wartime is a major taboo!
Moreover, General Wei Shishi's performance on the battlefield was commendable. Even if she didn't achieve any great merits, she didn't make any mistakes either!
"At the same time, after handing over the current work tasks."
Wei Shishi immediately rushed back to the Xiaolong Galaxy to establish the Xiaolong Seventh Legion fleet, temporarily assembling 100,000 interstellar warships.
Wei Shishi serves as the supreme commander of the Seventh Fleet Group of the JF-17 Thunder.
After hearing Charlotte say this...
Medusa finally breathed a sigh of relief, but couldn't help complaining, "Marshal Charlotte, could you please finish your sentence in one go next time you speak?"
Charlotte smiled slightly, then looked at Wei Shishi, whose expression was somewhat blank.
"General Wei Shishi, I have finished announcing His Majesty's decree."
You have one hour to hand over your current work tasks.
They then immediately headed to the Xiaolong star system to assemble the Xiaolong Seventh Legion fleet.
Within twenty hours, we must achieve combat readiness, be ready to obey orders at any time, and carry out assigned combat missions!
"General Wei Shishi, is there a problem?"
Wei Shishi finally realized what was happening. She stood up straight and said firmly, "Please rest assured, Grand Marshal Charlotte and His Majesty Emperor Xiaolong."
Wei Shishi guarantees to complete the task.
If anything goes wrong, Wei Shishi is willing to be court-martialed!
"Alright, I have some orders to pass on."
"I'm not going to waste any more time with you guys." Charlotte said, preparing to end the communication.
But Medusa stopped them.
Meanwhile, Medusa used her privileges to close everyone else's communication windows, leaving only herself and Charlotte.
"Charlotte, I know it's not appropriate for me to ask this now."
But I still want to ask.
As far as I know, the Xiaolong system has 300,000 interstellar warships in reserve.
Since Wei Shishi's newly formed Seventh Legion fleet has a temporary strength of 100,000 interstellar warships, should the remaining 200,000 interstellar warships be used to form two more legion fleet groups?
"And the supreme commanders of the remaining two fleet groups?" Medusa asked with concern.
"Three candidates, one of whom is Qingman." Charlotte left a curt statement and ended the communication immediately.
Medusa stared at the blacked-out video window. The usually stern Medusa couldn't help but smile slightly at this moment.
Qingman is her clansman, and she has followed her all the way.
Qingman is now the supreme commander of the Xiaolong Empire fleet, which makes her even happier than if she had been promoted herself.
Whether viewed from a personal or racial perspective, this is a joyous occasion.
personal.
In her eyes, Qingman was always like her child or younger sister.
From a racial perspective.
Although the appointment did not announce Qingman as the Imperial Marshal.
But presumably, once this battle is over, as long as Qingman doesn't encounter any problems, this is inevitable.
In this way, within the Dragon Empire...
The Serpent People clan has two Imperial Marshals!
This is enough to establish the status of the Snake-People race in the Dragon Empire for hundreds of years to come.
"Little girl, don't let me down," Medusa whispered.
...
"General Qingman, I hereby convey the decree of His Majesty Emperor Xiaolong."
You are relieved of your post as deputy commander of the First Fleet Group of the Xiaolong Army. Complete the handover of your duties within one hour and proceed to the Xiaolong System.
There, you will be responsible for forming the Eighth Legion Fleet of the Dragon King, with you as the supreme commander, and temporarily assembling 100,000 interstellar warships.
You only have twenty hours to complete these tasks.
Twenty hours from now, your JF-17 Eighth Legion fleet must be ready to engage in battle at any time!
Clear and understand!
"Qingman obeys!"
...
Charlotte looked at Midor in front of her, and her gaze softened.
This is a child I've watched grow up.
Back when he used to follow me around and play war games, he was just a little kid.
Back then, she said she wanted to always follow "Sister Charlotte".
Unexpectedly, the child really did what she said; she did indeed follow Charlotte's footsteps closely.
"General Midier, I hereby convey the decree of His Majesty the Emperor of the Dragon King."
You are relieved of your post as deputy commander of the Second Fleet Group of the Xiaolong Army. Complete the handover of your duties within one hour and proceed to the Xiaolong System.
There, you will be responsible for forming the Ninth Legion Fleet of the Dragon King, with you as the supreme commander, and will temporarily assemble 100,000 interstellar warships.
You only have twenty hours to complete these tasks.
Twenty hours from now, your JF-17 Eighth Legion fleet must be ready to engage in battle at any time!
Did you hear me clearly?
Upon hearing Marshal Charlotte's words, Midor was immediately stunned.
Her expression was somewhat blank, and even the tiger tail behind her froze, as if she had been frozen in place.
“Middle!” Charlotte emphasized.
Midier immediately snapped out of her daze, stood up straight, and subconsciously replied, "I understand."
But soon, she looked at Charlotte with some nervousness.
"Sister Charlotte... Grand Marshal..."
"I will be in charge of a legion fleet group." Midel hesitated.
Of the three appointed this time, Midel is the youngest and has the least combat experience.
Therefore, she has always been under the most pressure.
"If you think you can't do it, you can tell me right now."
I can request His Majesty to change the candidate.
But you don't have much time to think about it.
One last question for you.
"Middle, are you ready?!" Charlotte's tone became even more forceful.
Midor looked at her sister Charlotte in front of her and clenched her fists.
yes.
I've always been prepared to follow in my sister's footsteps.
Why are you afraid now that you're here?
"Please rest assured, Your Majesty and the Grand Marshal."
"The Ninth Legion Fleet of the Falcon Dragon will be combat-ready within twenty hours, and is ready at any time!" Midier shouted loudly.
