Chapter 1407: There are only 100,000 interstellar battleships?
"No, no problem!" Upon hearing this news, the commander of the Elf fleet felt as if a weight had been lifted from his heart.
Finally, reinforcements from the Dragon Empire arrived.
"Afterwards, my people will confirm the procedures for the rotation phase with your fleet to ensure that our casualties are minimized during the rotation," Admiral Qingman said earnestly.
"No problem, we will fully cooperate!"
After a brief negotiation.
The commander of the Elf fleet looked at the dimmed video window and breathed a sigh of relief: "Finally, reinforcements have arrived."
Now we can finally catch our breath.
"If the fleet can rest and regroup longer, it will not only have more combat power in battle, but also reduce the probability of it being destroyed."
"I just don't know how strong the Eighth Legion Fleet of the JF-17 Thunder is."
"I heard it was a temporary team?" the adjutant next to him muttered worriedly.
The commander of the elven fleet frowned slightly; he didn't know much about this news either.
Because before this, the Flame Elf King had only mentioned this matter briefly, telling them not to have too high expectations and to prepare for the opportunity to fight the enemy to the end.
"Never mind, let's wait."
In just twenty minutes, we will be able to see the true face of the JF-17 Eighth Legion Fleet Group.
I don't care how strong their combat capabilities are, as long as they can buy us some time to rest.
"At least this way, we won't only be able to hold out for two hundred combat hours." The commander of the Elf fleet chuckled self-deprecatingly.
Before this, they thought they had prepared carefully for so long.
Faced with an invading fleet that is devouring civilization, we can't say we're 100% certain.
But it's at least a 50/50 chance.
But after playing for a while, he realized that it was not a 50/50 match at all.
Although the enemy had a numerical advantage in starship fleets, they were already aware of this.
The fact that the situation has turned out this way is far beyond their expectations.
Think about it.
If this war had taken place in the Holy Elf Empire, even he wouldn't have been entirely confident that the Holy Elf Empire could withstand the invasion of the Devouring Civilization.
Twenty minutes is neither a long nor a short time.
It passed quickly.
Meanwhile, deep behind the battlefield defense line, the Eighth Legion Fleet of the JF-17 Thunder also appeared.
But looking at those interstellar warships...
The commander of the elven fleet was dumbfounded; he wondered if he had seen wrong.
"That's...that's all the interstellar warships?"
"Do they divide their legion fleet into several echelons, and this is just one of them?" The commander of the elven fleet looked at his adjutant, hoping to get the answer he wanted from him.
But the adjutant swallowed hard and said, "I just contacted the Eighth Fleet Group of the JF-17 Thunder."
The message we received was...
The Eighth Legion Fleet of the JF-17 Thunder only has 100,000 interstellar warships, along with some support fleets.
The total number of interstellar warships will not exceed 120,000.
The commander of the Elf fleet felt deceived!
Only a little over 100,000 interstellar warships!
In the current battlefield, this is completely a drop in the ocean.
Keep in mind that their Holy Elf Legion fleet has a million interstellar warships here.
He did not deny that the intelligence reports he had received so far all praised the Xiaolong series interstellar warships, and many high-ranking elves even said that the Xiaolong series interstellar warships surpassed those of the elves.
However, even good quality cannot completely mask the difference in quantity.
This is only about 100,000 interstellar warships.
"Report, the Eighth Fleet Group of the JF-17 has submitted a request for a rotation of its defenses and is asking for our cooperation," the adjutant reported immediately upon receiving the message.
"Immediately contact the highest-ranking commander of the Eighth Legion Fleet Group of the Wyvern, I need to speak with her!" The Elf Fleet Group commander couldn't resist.
The communication connection was established quickly.
The snake-man commander reappeared in the video window.
"General Qingman, may I ask you a question?"
Is your Eighth Legion fleet of the JF-17 only consisting of these 100,000 interstellar warships?
"Or is it that other legion fleets haven't arrived yet?" the Elven fleet commander asked very seriously.
"Yes.
"The Eighth Legion of the Xiaolong fleet had only been established for less than twenty hours, and currently only has 100,000 interstellar warships." Admiral Qingman did not hide anything and explained in detail.
"Established... in less than twenty hours?" The commander of the elven fleet gasped. He hadn't expected that an even bigger pit awaited him here.
He was actually going to fight alongside a fleet that had only been established for less than twenty hours.
Is this... a joke?
He now understood why the Flame Elf King had only mentioned this matter briefly before and asked them not to pay too much attention to it.
So that's where it was.
How could they feel at ease having a fleet of legions that had been established for less than twenty hours fighting alongside them and taking over their battle lines?
"General Qingman, it's not that I don't trust you."
However, as is well known, it takes a long time for a legion or fleet to become combat-ready.
Your legion fleet has been established for less than twenty hours.
"Forgive my frankness, but I find it hard to be certain of the fighting strength of your legion's fleet," the Elven fleet commander stated bluntly.
General Qingman was not angry because of the questioning. She calmly said, "I know what your concerns are."
But I have great confidence in my JF-17 Eighth Legion fleet.
Furthermore, I had already made a pledge when I accepted the mission for this military operation.
Although my JF-17 Eighth Legion fleet has only been established for less than twenty hours, I am certain that they are not much worse than those veteran ships.
What you can do, we can do too.
Now, as previously agreed, your fleet will withdraw, and I will place my fleet on top to complete the rotation of the defensive line.
Your fleet can now disembark and rest.
Seeing that the opposing commander was completely unmoved.
The commander of the Elf fleet said somewhat angrily, "Admiral Qingman, I am speaking to you very seriously."
I will not allow myself to hand over the defensive line I have held so firmly to... a legion fleet that I cannot trust!
General Qingman's tone remained calm and composed: "First of all, I am now carrying out the orders of Emperor Xiaolong, and I only need to obey."
I didn't need to explain much to you.
But I still want to say something to you now.
You probably won't believe anything I say now.
As a warrior, the only way to prove one's strength is to unsheathe one's sword on the battlefield.
Furthermore, I will take responsibility for everything I and my legion's fleet have done.
After the next rotation, if my Eighth Legion Fleet Group of the Falcon will allow the current defensive line to retreat even one meter!
I am willing to take full responsibility.
This is the pledge I, Qingman, the supreme commander of the Eighth Fleet Group of the Xiaolong Army, have made.
Now!
Please have your fleet complete its rotation mission.
This is the last time I will repeat this.
General Qingman's words were very serious and left no room for doubt.
The commander of the elven fleet scratched his head in frustration. He knew that Admiral Qingman's request was not unreasonable; it was simply following orders.
If he continues to refuse to relinquish his defensive positions, then the responsibility lies with him.
He has no other choice now.
"I hope you can take responsibility for what you've said!" The commander of the elven fleet hung up the communication immediately after speaking.
“It seems this elven commander doesn’t have much faith in our strength.” General Qingman shrugged and looked at the secretary beside her.
The secretary smiled slightly: "Then let's prove ourselves on the battlefield."
General Qingman's snake-like eyes narrowed as she stared at the interstellar war model of this star system.
Five hours.
"We must ensure that the defensive line is held in our hands for five hours," General Qingman said firmly.
Five hours isn't a very long time.
However, for the Xiaolong Eighth Legion fleet, which only has 100,000 interstellar warships, it is not a short time.
But that was the order given to her by her superiors.
"Execute according to the battle plan we formulated beforehand," General Qingman said.
"yes."
Next, the Eighth Legion Fleet Group of the Falcon Dragon will rotate with the Holy Elf Legion Fleet Group in front of them.
Although it was the first time the two teams had worked together, the rotation went relatively smoothly.
Because of the previous rotation of battlefields in other star systems, a lot of templates and experience have been provided, and these experiences are shared among each other.
With the experience accumulated by the former, they only need to ensure that they do not make mistakes.
Because the Eighth Legion of the JF-17 only has over 100,000 interstellar warships, the entire rotation process was carried out very quickly.
All thirty fleet groups of the Eighth Army Corps of the JF-17 Thunder have entered their designated combat positions.
All the Xiaolong series interstellar warships immediately entered combat readiness.
As ordered, once enemy interstellar warships entered their firing range, these warships opened fire immediately without any request for permission.
The goal is to unleash firepower in the shortest possible time!
After all, the opposing side has nearly five million interstellar warships.
Although they weren't actually facing five million interstellar warships, the difference was still enormous compared to the 100,000 JF-17 series interstellar warships.
soon.
The JF-17 Thunder fleet on the front lines began to face immense pressure.
The defensive lines ✧ NоvеIight ✧ (Original source) began to be suppressed little by little.
"My lord, look."
Within twenty minutes of taking over, various degrees of crisis had emerged on multiple defensive lines!
If this continues, let alone five hours.
"I estimate the defensive line will collapse in an hour!" The adjutant, who had been watching the battlefield closely, couldn't help but report this to the fleet commander.
The commander of the Elf fleet placed his hand on his chin and said with a serious expression, "Give an order to our legion fleet."
Do not let your guard down during the rest and resupply phase.
Be ready to return to the defensive line at any time!
At this moment, he was already prepared for the Eighth Legion Fleet of the Wyvern to be utterly defeated, and his Holy Elf Legion Fleet would immediately fill the gap!
"Yes!" The adjutant understood immediately and began to make arrangements.
And at that very moment.
A portion of the Starfleet located behind the Eighth Legion Fleet Group of the JF-17 Thunder began to move.
That's an interstellar missile ship!
It's roughly equivalent to a fleet of interstellar missile ships.
All the interstellar missile ships equipped with them had their missile launchers activated, and each interstellar missile was ready to be launched.
The commander of the Elf fleet showed an expression of interest.
He had also seen scenes of interstellar missile ships launching in combat data from other star systems, but there were only a handful of them.
This scene, where an entire fleet of interstellar missile ships provides fire support, seems to be the first of its kind.
He never expected to see it here.
"Is this your trump card?" the commander of the elven fleet asked with some anticipation.
The next moment.
These T5 Crimson Reaper-class heavy interplanetary strategic missile ships and T6 Blood Angel-class heavy interplanetary strategic missile ships that he knew opened fire together!
Tens of thousands of interstellar missiles were launched, creating a swarm of meteors.
It landed towards the enemy's attack position.
It was like a series of ignited fireballs, covering the attack positions of the invading civilization fleet.
Just looking at the scene in front of me is incredibly beautiful.
"So beautiful." The high elves, who were very particular about aesthetics, praised the scene from the bottom of their hearts.
They never imagined that they could witness such a beautiful scene during wartime.
"strangeness.
The area covered by their interstellar missile ship seems a bit scattered.
"Why didn't they eliminate the enemy fleet on the front lines first?" The adjutant, looking at the areas of fire coverage appearing on the interstellar sandbox, raised his doubts.
The commander of the Elf fleet lowered his head and looked carefully at the area covered by the interstellar missiles.
His eyes suddenly widened.
"This is......
This is them dividing the battlefield!
The interstellar missiles blasted a chasm between the enemy's forward and central positions.
Within the chasm, apart from a small number of T5 and T6 class interstellar warships, all other interstellar warships were reduced to wreckage.
Meanwhile, these interstellar missiles continued to fall.
Within the Eighth Legion Fleet of the JF-17, the defensive positions were breached, and some interstellar warships unexpectedly emerged and launched an offensive.
Launch a counterattack against the enemy starfleet located at the front lines!
"My God, they're actually launching a counterattack!" The adjutant exclaimed, covering his mouth in surprise.
Then, he saw something even more astonishing.
Those were swarms of interstellar fighters and interstellar drones!
Like a swarm of bees, they coordinated with the proactive JF-17 fleet to launch a counterattack against the enemy.
Under this sudden counterattack.
The enemy's forward attack fleet was instantly cut off and separated.
Then came the barrage of fire from the subsequent JF-17 Starships.
Unable to receive support from the rear, these disconnected Devouring Fleets could only watch helplessly as they were gradually destroyed by the Falcon Fleet!
