Chapter 1657: The Great Invasion Plan
Instead, he continued, "After determining when this white hole existed, we can roughly estimate the time period of the 100,000 interstellar warships that attacked you."
In order to find the tracks of these interstellar fleets.
These are 100,000 interstellar warships, not a few hundred or a few thousand, which can be easily hidden away.
These 100,000 interstellar warships must have left behind many clues over the past three years.
Finding the trails of 100,000 interstellar warships is far simpler than finding white holes.
I spent a week determining the trajectories of these 100,000 interstellar warships over the past three years.
As they spoke, the Elf King Onyneus opened a map of the stars.
"First of all, these 100,000 interstellar warships would not be able to use highly volatile inter-universe warp technology because they need to conceal their tracks."
Therefore, their activity area is limited to the territory of the Majas interstellar empire.
First, they remained stationed there for about a year; then they traveled along the desolate airspace of the border of the Majas Interstellar Empire to the border space of the Majas Interstellar Empire's U71 system.
The U71 system was previously the territory of a princess of the Majas interstellar empire.
Zhao Chen didn't need to think much to know who this princess was.
"These 100,000 interstellar warships have been hidden in the border space of the U71 star system for more than two years."
During these two years, although the main force of these 100,000 interstellar warships did not move, there were some small-scale fleet movements.
There were approximately three hundred ships, mainly used to handle matters for the princess and prince.
The three-headed dragon pirate gang that attacked you was done by these three hundred interstellar warships.
These three hundred interstellar warships are most likely all T6-class interstellar warships.
Onyne, the Elf King of Kaguya, also showed several news reports about the Mehasian Interstellar Empire. Without exception, they were all about attacks. These attacks either couldn't find the culprits or claimed that the perpetrators were some kind of pirate group, but at the time, there were many things that didn't make sense.
Now, with these three hundred interstellar warships, everything that happened before becomes clear.
Even a regular fleet would find it difficult to wipe out the Three-Headed Dragon Pirate Gang so cleanly and efficiently.
But if it's three hundred T6-class interstellar warships, then it makes perfect sense.
These are the elite of the elite.
Moreover, the mobilization of three hundred interstellar warships makes it very easy to conceal their presence.
"I have no doubt that you can track the movements of these 100,000 interstellar warships."
"But how did you figure out the routes of those three hundred interstellar warships?" Zhao Chen asked curiously.
This time, the Elf King Onyons didn't roll his eyes at Zhao Chen, but explained, "It is indeed quite difficult to confirm the tracks of these three hundred interstellar warships."
In this matter, we owe a great deal to the help of the White Orchid Interstellar Trading Group under your command.
They have already established an intelligence network within the Majasian interstellar empire, and after learning about what we are investigating, they are fully cooperating with us.
With their assistance, we obtained a lot of important information.
When these three hundred interstellar warships are on the move, they will inevitably need to pass through some important routes. In order to hide these three hundred interstellar warships, some people will intentionally block these routes at certain times, and the reasons given are very reasonable, such as the routes entering the military management stage or the routes being temporarily closed.
Taken individually, these are not really a big deal.
However, combining these factors with the attacks, the trajectory of these three hundred interstellar warships can be deduced. The Elf King Onyons of Kaguya remained calm as he answered these questions.
Zhao Chen looked at the calm expression on Kaguya Elf King Onyne's face.
Everyone wanted to applaud the Elf King.
"Onyons, what if one day you stop being the Elf King?"
"Would you be interested in working for my Imperial Guard for a while?" Zhao Chen said, his eyes gleaming, as if he had spotted some kind of talent.
Kaguya Elf King Onyons rolled his eyes at Zhao Chen.
He ignored Zhao Chen's 'joking' face.
"And in this process, I used a piece of network information that remained."
Indeed, some valuable intelligence has been recovered. The words of the Kaguya Elf King Onyons immediately perked Zhao Chen up.
Kaguya Elf King Onyneens continued, "There are two main points."
First point: The Dragonflight Interstellar Empire poses a threat and must be eliminated first.
Upon hearing this news, Zhao Chen noticed the somewhat hostile and resentful gaze of the Kaguya Elf King Onyne.
They're probably thinking about why these people consider the Dragonflight Interstellar Empire a threat but not the Holy Elf Empire. Isn't that a sign of looking down on the Holy Elf Empire?
"Second point: to create operational space for the large-scale invasion plan."
Zhao Chen's heart skipped a beat.
The Great Invasion Project... Just hearing the name tells you what it's all about.
Zhao Chen said in a deep voice, "Is there time? And the scale of the intrusion? Or any other useful information?"
The Elf King Onyneus shook his head and said, "None of these exist."
But based on the clues I've gathered, I have a premonition.
These people wouldn't send so many legion fleets to the Majas Interstellar Empire for no reason.
If there really is a large-scale invasion plan, I estimate that the Majas interstellar empire is the outpost, which is why they deployed a large-scale legion fleet here so early.
Furthermore, I believe that relying solely on their technological capabilities and their own capabilities, it would be impossible for them to send a large number of legion fleets over.
Since they have already visited our universe cluster, they are aware of the military strength of your Xiaolong Interstellar Empire.
They must have already assessed it.
For them, the worst-case scenario is to become enemies with all interstellar civilizations in our universe cluster, so their first task is to determine how many fleets they would need to fight us.
It's important to understand that this battle is significant for both us and them.
In terms of 'favorable timing and geographical advantage', it is extremely unfair.
They might not even be able to keep up with logistical support.
If previous inter-universe battles were a difficulty level of ten for the attacking side, then this battle spanning multiple universes could very well reach a difficulty level of one hundred!
At this point, the Elf King Onyons paused and turned his gaze to Zhao Chen.
It's important to know that Zhao Chen's Dragon Star Empire had just experienced a cross-universe battle.
Zhao Chen, the Emperor of the Dragon, was very clear about the battle.
Zhao Chen nodded and said, "This is indeed very difficult."
Leaving aside military strength, the strategic resources you would need to consume are several times that of the enemy.
If we want to completely conquer the enemy and achieve a total victory...
Your legion's fleet needs to be at least three times stronger than the enemy's in overall combat power; and the strategic resources you invest need to be five to ten times greater than the enemy's.
If any of these factors cannot be met.
Even if an advantage is gained on the battlefield, the situation could ultimately deteriorate rapidly due to a lack of follow-up action.
This is why Zhao Chen's Dragon Legion fleet chose to withdraw during the battle with the Devouring Civilization.
And this is still under the condition of cross-universe combat. If it is cross-universe group combat, the factors and difficulties involved will increase exponentially.
"Those guys aren't stupid. If they dared to come up with such a plan, they must have made some preparations."
I estimate that they will send at least 30 to 50 million interstellar legion fleets, and these will all be elite fleets.
The quality of your fleet may only be inferior to that of your JF-17 Legion fleet.
Based on intelligence data from previous battles against your legion's fleet.
It is estimated that a large number of near-T7 level interstellar warships will emerge at that time!
If there were a choice.
Right now is the perfect time for them to attack.
At this point, the Elf King Onyons looked at Zhao Chen again.
The optimal time to attack is self-evident.
It's already obvious.
"But we might be able to predict when those guys will attack next," said Onyrons, the Elf King of Kaguya, offering a piece of good news.
Zhao Chen looked at Kaguya Elf King Onyons with some surprise: "How can you be sure?"
"Let me state upfront that this is just my calculation, and it may be wrong."
First, let's assume that our previous assumptions were correct, and that those guys came to the Majas interstellar empire with a purpose.
The Majas Interstellar Empire is their outpost, so it's highly likely that when they launch an attack, they will land in the Majas Interstellar Empire's universe.
Furthermore, based on what I said before, I believe it is impossible for them to cross the universe using only their own technology.
However, it is possible to rely on white holes.
If they can use white holes to conduct inter-universe clusters, then it proves that they must have made significant achievements in the field of white hole technology research.
As for how much they actually know about white holes, that remains unknown.
Let's assume that they either can predict the appearance of white holes in advance, or they can create white holes artificially.
Alternatively, other methods could be used to pinpoint the appearance of a white hole to a specific cosmic coordinate system.
If all of our above conjectures are correct.
The key clue is the white hole.
"If we know where the white hole will appear in the future of the Majas interstellar empire, then we'll know when they'll launch their attack!"
Onyne, the Elf King of Kaguya, gave a very accurate explanation.
At least it can be explained.
One of the most crucial issues is predicting the appearance of white holes in advance.
"You can predict the appearance of white holes?" Zhao Chen stared at Kaguya Elf King Onyne.
This guy has given me so many surprises. Apart from his bad temper and grumpy face, I really want to poach him to work for me.
"Based on our years of research on white holes."
We can roughly predict the occurrence of white holes.
"But the success rate is not high," said Onyrons, the Elf King of Kaguya.
Zhao Chen immediately asked, "Has there been any testing before?"
The Elf King Onienstein said, "We have conducted 132 prediction tests and accurately predicted the time and location 17 times."
The location was successfully predicted, but the timing was incorrect six times.
There were three instances where the time was successfully predicted, but the location was significantly off.
Zhao Chen was taken aback: "Then the success rate is at most 20%."
“Yes, so there is a certain risk,” said Onyrons, the Elf King of Kaguya.
Zhao Chen frowned and thought for a moment, then said, "Twenty percent it is, it's better than nothing."
Zhao Chen looked at Kaguya Elf King Onyons: "Since you've summoned me, you must have some ideas, right?"
Onyx, the Elf King of Kaguya, nodded and said, "It's better to believe it exists than to believe it doesn't."
Now that we know these guys are planning a large-scale invasion of us, we must be prepared.
Currently, the strongest in our universe cluster are naturally your Dragon Star Empire and our Holy Elf Empire.
And now, your Wyvern Interstellar Empire, through the most subtle and effective measures, has already achieved a status within our universe that surpasses that of any other interstellar civilization in history.
Zhao Chen said with a wry smile, "Don't praise me now."
Do you not know the current situation of our Xiaolong Interstellar Empire?
I know that we are in a high overall position now, but this is also due to the pressure we have faced.
We must prepare to fight the oath that devours civilization.
As you said, those guys will choose the most opportune time to launch the invasion.
It's obvious when that happened.
"At that point, it will be very difficult for our Dragon Star Empire to balance both ends."
Zhao Chen's words were true; preparing to fight the oath to devour civilization was itself a formidable task.
If one also has to contend with the invasion of a conquering civilization, the difficulty will inevitably increase dramatically.
The Elf King Onyne said solemnly, "I am naturally aware of the situation of your Wraith Dragon Interstellar Empire."
So, I asked you to come here first to discuss a plan.
Zhao Chen raised an eyebrow and looked at the Kaguya Elf King Oniens with a mocking expression: "What Your Excellency Kaguya Elf King said is quite interesting."
"Such an important matter, and you actually contacted me first, instead of following the procedures of your Holy Elf Empire and convening an Elf King's Council or a High Council meeting?"
Onyx, the Elf King, paid no attention to Zhao Chen's teasing.
He frankly stated, "In extraordinary times, extraordinary measures are naturally required."
Let's get down to business.
I understand that your Dragonflight Interstellar Empire will be overwhelmed with the oath-taking duel against the Devouring Civilization.
However, relying solely on our Holy Elf Empire and other interstellar civilization fleets that may unite, it will be quite difficult to deal with the invasion of the Conqueror Civilization.
From your perspective.
Even if you win the duel against the devouring civilization, do you have the confidence to clean up the mess left by our universe cluster?
Your purpose in establishing the Cosmic Trade Alliance and those interstellar investment banks is nothing more than to make our Cosmic Cluster a strategic reserve base for your Dragon Star Empire, continuously supplying you with strategic resources.
By then, all these strategic reserve bases will be on fire, and your Xiaolong Interstellar Empire will have just gone through a fierce battle with the Devouring Civilization.
Then they faced the onslaught of civilizations.
What are your chances of winning?
