Chapter 1697: Galaxy X
"Are the guys on the other side who command those interstellar heavy artillery ships really that stubborn?"
"They're already fighting like this, and they keep coming up to fight." The secretary couldn't help but complain next to Marshal Pei Shengnan.
Marshal Pei Shengnan looked at the interstellar battle sandbox in front of her.
He slowly began to speak, saying, "According to the intelligence we have received..."
These supporting legion fleets are under the command of the Black God Emperor.
Therefore, this should not be the other commander's own will, but rather the Black God Emperor's request.
They had no choice but to execute this operational plan.
"Oh? Wouldn't I be heartbroken?"
"In just five days, they've lost more than half of their interstellar heavy artillery ships," the secretary remarked with a sigh.
"But these sacrifices were not without results."
If we look at the entire A-10 system battlefield...
The Black God Emperor's arrangement clearly had an effect.
Because we redeployed some of our interstellar missile ships, interstellar heavy artillery ships, and interstellar escort ships, the combat effectiveness on other defensive fronts has decreased by at least 20% to 30%.
It's not clear what will happen in a short time.
However, as time went on, the starships on these defensive lines began to suffer increasing casualties.
And look at this.
The defensive positions in these locations are beginning to become unsustainable.
Today alone, I raised the alert level of three defensive positions.
If this continues...
"In three days at most, we will have to abandon part of our outer defensive positions," Marshal Pei Shengnan said solemnly.
On the interstellar war sandbox, the defensive positions of the 10th Legion Fleet of the JF-17 can be clearly seen in the A-10 star system.
There is a line at the location where the two sides are fighting.
These lines are in three colors.
Green, yellow, and red.
Green means that although there is a state of combat, the situation in this defensive position is under control and there are no problems at all.
The yellow color represents the area where fighting is taking place, and the intensity of the fighting is extremely high.
The meaning of red is even simpler: it means that the battle zone has reached a point of intense fighting.
The pressure is immense.
Our defenses could collapse at any moment.
If necessary, additional support will be needed.
Now, many red lines have appeared on the outer edge of the line.
And given the current battlefield situation, this situation will likely increase daily.
Marshal Pei Shengnan remained silent.
The secretary was also frowning beside him.
Although they have now controlled the threat from the Saintess Civilization Legion fleet, they have already used all the cards they have left.
Faced with the current situation, the 10th Legion Fleet Group of the JF-17 Thunder can't really do much on its own.
It seems that the only solution is to seek support from the Dragon Emperor and other legion fleets.
But... is this the end?
Is this the end of their more than forty-day-long persistence in the A-10 system by the 10th Legion of the Falcon Dragon?
Although the results so far have been quite good.
Their 10th Legion Fleet faced pressure beyond expectations.
Although the expected combat mission was not accomplished, it was still a fairly good combat result.
Even though I understand all this in my heart, I'm just ending this persistence like this.
Whether it's Pei Shengnan herself or others, there's a sense of resentment in their hearts.
After a few breaths of silence.
Marshal Pei Shengnan let out a long breath and said in a relaxed manner, "Don't be discouraged."
We have done a very good job.
The number of enemy interstellar warships they face has reached nearly 30 million.
The battle raged for forty days.
This also includes several elite enemy legion fleets, including the Black God Legion fleet and the Saintess Civilization Legion fleet.
Under these circumstances, our 10th Legion Fleet Group of the JF-17 Thunder still annihilated nearly eight million enemy interstellar warships, while suffering less than seven hundred thousand losses of its own interstellar warships.
The casualty ratio exceeded ten to one.
This is the best we could do, even with our best efforts.
I will report our current situation and predicament to His Majesty in a moment.
If the Emperor will inevitably leave us to face the enemy alone and hold the A-10 system.
Then our 10th Legion Fleet will naturally hold this position at all costs. Even without reinforcements, even if we are completely annihilated, we will still carry out His Majesty the Emperor of the Thunder!
If His Majesty Emperor Xiaolong has other plans.
We are willing to obey!
The secretary nodded in agreement upon hearing this.
Given the current situation, their 10th Legion Fleet has already done its best and there is really no room for them to make any more moves.
"Continue with the current fighting style."
"I'll go report the current situation to Emperor Xiaolong," Marshal Pei Shengnan said.
"yes."
Marshal Pei Shengnan reviewed all the previous battle reports and then took the initiative to contact the Dragon Emperor on the Dragon Emperor interstellar command ship.
A video communication window appears.
Emperor Zhao Chen's figure appeared on the other side.
"Greetings, Your Majesty." Marshal Pei Shengnan bowed.
Zhao Chen nodded and said, "Go ahead, what's the matter that you contacted me about?"
Knowing your personality, you wouldn't contact me without a reason.
Marshal Pei Shengnan explained in detail: "I am here to report to His Majesty the Emperor on the current battlefield situation and circumstances, as well as the current status of my 10th Legion Fleet."
"Go on," Zhao Chen nodded, signaling Pei Shengnan to continue.
"As of today, the 10th Legion Fleet of the Falcon Dragon has been fighting on the battlefield of the A-10 star system for forty days, for nearly a thousand hours!"
The enemy's interstellar warships have increased to 30 million, with only 20,000 remaining. Our side has annihilated 8 million of their interstellar warships.
As a result, we have lost 700,000 interstellar warships, and the loss rate of interstellar warships in the 10th Legion Fleet of the JF-17 has exceeded 20% and is about to reach 25%.
Furthermore, given the current battlefield situation, the enemy's offensive has not weakened at all, and may even have intensified.
The enemy has recently reinforced the battlefield with a fleet of the Holy Maiden Civilization Legion, putting us under considerable pressure.
If the current battle situation continues...
Even if we make no mistakes, without any reinforcements or any further starships from the enemy...
I'd like to add something here: I think it's very unlikely that the enemy won't send reinforcements!
Going back to what I just said, we are currently losing about 30,000 starships per day, and this rate will gradually increase as time goes on.
It is estimated that by the end of February, our 10th Legion fleet will have lost half of its interstellar warships.
By the end of March at the latest, our 10th Legion Fleet will be completely annihilated, and the A-10 system will also fall completely.
This is the current situation of our 10th Legion Fleet, and the enemy's situation.
Zhao Chen looked at Pei Shengnan with interest and asked with a hint of teasing, "So what are you trying to say now?"
Marshal Pei Shengnan paused for a moment, then said, "I want His Majesty the Emperor to know the current situation of the 10th Legion Fleet Group of the Xiaolong Army."
If His Majesty the Emperor deems it appropriate for the 10th Legion Fleet to continue fighting in the A-10 system without any further deployment adjustments.
Then our 10th Legion Fleet will unconditionally carry out His Majesty the Emperor of the Dragon, even if it means fighting to the last interstellar warship.
Similarly, if His Majesty the Emperor of the JF-17 makes any tactical adjustments, our JF-17 Tenth Legion Fleet Group is willing to cooperate unconditionally!
I'm done speaking!
Zhao Chen couldn't help but chuckle: "Pei Shengnan, are you just dumping the current problems of the A-10 star system on me?"
Marshal Pei Shengnan laughed and shrugged, saying, "I didn't want this either, but you know the current situation in the A-10 star system."
These bastards are really going to keep this up.
I've tried every possible solution I can think of.
Our 10th Legion Fleet Group of the JF-17 Thunder is truly out of options on its own.
So, we have no choice but to follow Your Majesty's arrangements.
Zhao Chen rolled his eyes.
However, he was actually aware of the current battle situation in the A-10 star system and the status of the 10th Legion fleet of the Falcon Dragon.
"Okay, I understand."
Go back first and focus on commanding the battle.
Regarding the battle in the A-10 system and the subsequent arrangements for the JF-17 Tenth Legion fleet.
We will definitely think things through; we won't let your sacrifices be in vain.
"Yes, sir!" Marshal Pei Shengnan immediately saluted with a smile, and then the video call ended.
Zhao Chen stared at the blacked-out video window.
He shook his head with a wry smile. Although Marshal Pei Shengnan didn't say it, judging from her expression, she still hoped that the 10th Legion Fleet Group of the Xiaolong could receive some support.
However, because of the previous attack mech, she couldn't say it directly.
Zhao Chen contacted Grand Marshal Charlotte.
Charlotte needs to oversee the overall situation, although she is also paying close attention to the battlefield in the A-10 system.
However, there are simply too many things that need attention.
Therefore, the surveillance mission for the A-10 system was entrusted to this Dragon Emperor, and she was to be contacted again if any situation arose.
This made him, the Emperor of the Dragon, seem like the Grand Marshal's underling.
The communication was quickly established.
Grand Marshal Charlotte appeared on the opposite side.
Zhao Chen didn't waste any time and immediately recounted everything Pei Shengnan had told him.
"This is the current situation in the A-10 star system and the 10th Legion Fleet Group of the JF-17."
What Pei Shengnan said is all true; I saw it all myself.
I originally thought that she would seek support when the Saintess Civilization Legion fleet appeared, but I didn't expect her to hold on until now.
However, the situation is that the pressure exerted by the enemy on the A-10 system is really great, and it is difficult for the JF-17 Tenth Legion fleet to completely withstand it on its own.
"What do you think we should do?" Zhao Chen asked Grand Marshal Charlotte for her opinion.
Grand Marshal Charlotte said, "It is naturally impossible for the 10th Legion Fleet of the Falcon Dragon to live and die together with the A-10 system."
However, we have finally managed to build a bridgehead in the A-10 system, and it would be a great pity to just let it go to waste.
Our previous battle strategy was that each legion and fleet group would fight independently, eventually choosing a main direction of attack, concentrating the superior forces of the elite legion and fleet groups to launch an offensive and destroy the enemy's main legion and fleet or that Black God Emperor.
Thus, they achieved a swift victory in this vowed duel.
Actually, I was just about to contact you.
News has come from Zhong Xiaoxia's Ghost Scout Elite Fleet that they have basically confirmed the location of the Black God Emperor!
Upon hearing this news...
Zhao Chen immediately perked up and asked curiously, "Where is the Black God Emperor now?"
Are they holed up in the E star system?
The E star system is currently the only place that the Dragon Legion fleet has not yet set foot in, making it the safest and most crucial base for the Black God Emperor.
"That's true, and it's also false."
The location of the Black God Emperor is precisely at the boundary between the E and C star systems.
It's possible that the war that caused this universe to shatter was, by sheer coincidence...
There is actually a very small fragmented star system between the C and E star systems. How small is it? There are no planets there, only a few small meteorites.
If it weren't for those few small meteorites, people probably wouldn't have thought that it was a fragmented star system.
This is why this fragmented galaxy was not included in the previous calculations of the Zaun territory of the broken universe.
And coincidentally, the Black God Emperor is currently located right here.
We named it the X Galaxy.
The Black God Emperor established a temporary base here, which served as a command center.
The E-star region is more like his rear base, with a constant stream of legions and fleets devouring civilizations, just like us.
They came to this shattered universe, Zaun, from the universe that devoured civilizations through the stargates built at their base!
Apart from the legion fleets that directly used spatial warp to enter the battlefield.
All other legion fleets must pass through this X star system to enter the battlefield.
This results in the X system having very few troops nominally stationed, roughly five million interstellar warships.
However, due to the continuous stream of interstellar legion fleets, and the fact that attacking this place would inevitably cause the surrounding interstellar legion fleets to converge here.
Through investigation and surveillance by the Ghost Scout Elite Fleet, calculations have shown that approximately thirty million interstellar warships may be gathered here.
"Thirty million interstellar warships, including some elite legion fleets."
"It will indeed be quite difficult to take over this place," Zhao Chen thought, rubbing his chin.
"Then I thought about it, taking into account the current situation of the A-10 galaxy."
If we attack this X star system, wouldn't that indirectly cut off the support and supply routes for the Devouring Civilization's fleet attacking the A-10 star system?
That's indirectly helping the JF-17 Tenth Fleet Group!
