Chapter 1765: The most brutal battle
Hearing this...
The gloom on Huaya Lanlan's face completely disappeared, replaced by a smile she hadn't seen in a long time, her eyes seeming to see mountains of gold and silver!
She said happily, "Great! Great!"
Relay my order: immediately assemble the personnel from the various departments that were previously evacuated.
Prepare to return to White City.
Make a return plan within 24 hours. After the Flower Fairy Universe Stargate restarts, we will be among the first to return to the Flower Fairy Federation Tribe Universe.
At the same time, preparations should be made for restarting the work.
Within 48 hours!
All our work in White Orchid City and in the Flower Fairy Federation's universe must be restarted!
Upon hearing President Hana Ya Lan Lan's series of orders, the subordinates nodded excitedly and began to carry them out.
And after this order was passed down one by one.
The flower fairies from various departments who had previously evacuated were almost all cheering and jumping for joy, even though only a few days had passed.
However, for them, every minute of the time they spent away from the Flower Fairy Federation Tribe Universe and away from White Orchid City was agonizing.
Every moment they left, they missed their city of Bailan and their home.
But who could have imagined that this turning point would come so quickly?
The news concerns the Dragon Emperor's victory over the Devouring Civilization, his leadership of the Legion fleet back to the Fairy Federation's universe, his defeat of the Conqueror Civilization's Legion fleet, and the beheading of the Grand Marshal commander.
It was also transmitted to every interstellar civilization in the entire universe in the first instance.
This news instantly dispelled the gloom that had been hanging over various interstellar civilizations for the past few months.
The return of the Dragon Emperor has brought them such a great gift.
This caused their fear of the conqueror civilization to vanish completely in an instant.
What's so great about a conqueror civilization?
Within their universe cluster, there still exists the mighty god, the Dragon Emperor, the Dragon Interstellar Empire.
This morale naturally affected the front lines as well.
In some local battles, the interstellar fleets, which were originally responsible for defense, even launched a counterattack.
This enormous mistake was completely missed by the conqueror civilization.
They actually chose to retreat.
This greatly boosted the morale of the legions and fleets on various battlefields at the front!
Many high-ranking officials even shouted slogans like "Counterattack, eliminate the invaders, and reclaim the universe!"
The most vocal among them are naturally those conquered civilizations that have taken over the universe and established exiled governments.
Having no hope before, they naturally settled down and lived a quiet life in various places, enjoying their accumulated wealth.
Now that there is hope, they naturally want to return to their homeland.
Although they were in a foreign land, they lived quite well thanks to their wealth and previous influence.
But after all, they were living under someone else's roof, and everyone still hoped to return to their own country, their own territory, and to the life they used to live.
And relying on their own strength, they naturally had no way to succeed.
Their own military strength has long since dwindled to almost nothing.
We can only rely on the existing cosmic military alliance, as well as the legion fleets of the Holy Elf Empire and the Wraith Dragon Interstellar Empire.
Especially the Dragon Star Empire.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Dragonflight Interstellar Empire has been quite lively lately.
Of course, this applies to the overall operational plan.
It's impossible for them to make any changes just because they've caused such a commotion.
The fleet of the Dragon Star Empire had just withdrawn from the battlefield of the sworn duel.
They rushed to the Flower Fairy Federation Tribe Universe without stopping to provide support.
Next, a period of rest and recuperation will naturally be needed.
If the fighting continues, they might be able to drive away the Conqueror Civilization's legion fleet.
However, this will also come at the cost of heavy casualties.
These casualties were completely unnecessary.
Anyway, the cosmic territory is there, and there's no escaping it.
Whether it's recovered sooner or later makes no difference.
The Dragon Star Empire would never do something that would cause significant damage to both itself and its enemy.
For those interstellar civilizations that keep making requests, there's only one word.
drag!
On the other hand, it also means Salamander.
She still needs to observe the next steps taken by the conquerors.
To fight or to retreat.
They still want to occupy the current cosmic territory and wage a protracted war with them.
The next move by the Conqueror Civilization is directly related to Salamander's next battle plan.
This was also the idea of Grand Marshal Charlotte.
So, regarding the situation on the main battlefield, the best approach right now is simply to wait.
And this waiting will eventually come to an end.
Conqueror Civilization Legion Fleet.
At this moment, Malthus Ritt is the special envoy acting as the commander.
He was looking at the letter in front of him with a worried expression.
This letter was sent by Grand Marshal Kevins.
That time was exactly ten minutes before Grand Marshal Kevins was killed in action.
If we also calculate the time it took him to draft this letter.
That's probably even earlier.
This letter contained all his instructions after his death.
This shows that Grand Marshal Kevins was aware of the war in the Fairy Federation Tribe Universe at that time.
He will not be able to come back alive.
At that time, it was he who gave the order to destroy the Flower Fairy Universe Star Gate at all costs.
This letter explains many things.
The worst-case scenario is that their plan completely fails, they never destroy the enemy's cosmic gate, and everything the enemy is doing is functioning normally.
Their ten million interstellar warships and those super T6 Star Conqueror-class super interstellar battleships were all wasted there.
Although, according to what Special Envoy Malthuslit knows, the actual situation is not that bad.
But it wasn't much better.
The Flower Fairy Universe Star Gate suffered some damage.
However, the Xiaolong Interstellar Empire is already working hard to repair it.
It will be fixed soon and back to normal operation.
Therefore, in a sense, Grand Marshal Kevins' plan can be said to have failed 90%.
And in the content of the letter.
The Grand Marshal gave the special envoy Malthus Ritt three completely different instructions.
It was specifically emphasized that the Xiaolong Interstellar Empire was extremely powerful.
His special envoy, Malthus Ritt, could choose to withdraw his troops.
This is one of the options.
The second and third options are to hold onto the universes they currently control and wage a protracted war with the other side; the third option is to counterattack.
And in the counterattack suggestion.
Grand Marshal Kevin emphasized that if they wanted to retaliate...
At least another 300 million interstellar warships from the Conqueror civilization's home universe cluster would be needed to provide support.
And the time frame cannot exceed one week.
If it exceeds a week, the enemy will have time to regroup.
Then much of the gains made in the previous offensive will be lost.
It seems that one should choose to remain in their current cosmic territory.
This is a point that Grand Marshal Kevins himself strongly supports.
So he explained many arrangements.
The first step is to establish a defensive line based on the space territories we have now conquered, and not give up an inch of land.
This situation would require reinforcements of at least one hundred million interstellar warships.
Furthermore, it involves abandoning the outer ring of interstellar territories and relinquishing one-third of the cosmic territory currently under control.
It only controls two-thirds of the phonological region.
In this way, the reinforcements would only need to request 50 million interstellar warships.
The worst-case scenario would undoubtedly be that they wouldn't be able to secure even a single reinforcement interstellar warship.
However, the special envoy Malthuslit was unwilling to withdraw his troops.
The only hopeful deployment is to abandon four-fifths of the current universe and establish a defensive line in the remaining one-fifth of the universe.
Awaiting further operational plans.
It can be said that Grand Marshal Kevins had a very long-term vision in this battle plan.
At the same time, he also recorded his combat experience related to the Xiaolong series interstellar warships and the Xiaolong Legion fleet.
Among them, there were unusually many praises for the JF-17 Starfleet.
It should be noted that the commanders of the Conqueror Civilization Legion fleets are always very proud and rarely praise their enemies.
Unless, of course, they are truly convinced!
Now, this presents a huge choice for the special envoy, Malthus Ritt.
So what's the next step?
Should we continue fighting?
Or should we withdraw our troops?
still......
At this moment, Special Envoy Malthus Ritt felt unprecedented pressure.
Because the entire battle situation now rests in his hands.
Every decision he makes will affect the future direction and changes of this battle.
Withdrawing troops could render all previous efforts futile.
Holding out could result in the complete loss of the remaining Conqueror Civilization fleet here.
These are undoubtedly very difficult choices.
After thinking about it for a long time.
Envoy Malthuslit was the first to abandon the idea of continuing the attack.
According to the information left by Grand Marshal Kevins, if they wanted to continue the attack...
That would require deploying at least 300 million interstellar warships to this battlefield.
Based on his current understanding of the Conqueror civilization's native universe, it is absolutely impossible for him to mobilize 300 million interstellar warships to this cosmic battlefield in a short period of time.
Therefore, this option can be ruled out at this time.
The remaining options are to withdraw troops or hold the occupied territories.
Of all these options, withdrawing troops is actually the best decision to make.
But the consequences were severe; Grand Marshal Kevins had already sacrificed his life.
If he goes back and his superiors blame him, he will undoubtedly be the only scapegoat left.
Therefore, this decision was a dead end for him.
Then all that's left is defense.
At the same time, there are different options within this defense.
Envoy Malthus Ritt looked at the current interstellar war sandbox.
Based on the description of the Dragon Star Empire in Grand Marshal Kevins's novel, the enemy will definitely launch an attack and reclaim lost territory once given the opportunity.
Therefore, if we do not relinquish even the slightest bit of the space territory we have already occupied.
That will inevitably lead to a major battle.
At this juncture, an outbreak of battle would undoubtedly be extremely disadvantageous for the Conqueror Civilization fleet, whose morale is already low.
That would require retreating a certain distance and abandoning some cosmic territory.
So how much should we actually give up?
This was a very difficult decision.
Giving up too much is tantamount to wasting these strategic spaces.
If we give up too little, the opposing Falcon Star Empire will still keep harassing us.
Therefore, this quantity is very important.
Sudden!
Envoy Malthus Ritt had an idea.
Why not try to negotiate with them?
Compared to force, envoy Malthus Ritt was more adept at negotiating deals at the negotiating table.
Now that you've thought of that...
He immediately ordered his subordinates to contact the Kaguya Elf King Onyne, proposing his idea of peace talks.
Unexpectedly, the other party agreed so easily and decisively.
It took less than half an hour in total.
A holographic conference channel appeared.
Inside the meeting room, only his special envoy Malthuslit and the Elf King Onyne were present this time.
"Long time no see, Your Excellency." The Elf King Onyneus smiled as he looked at the envoy Malthuslit opposite him.
Envoy Malthus Ritter stared at the other party, and to be honest, he really had an urge to beat him up.
If it weren't for the other person deceiving his feelings back then.
Their attack will begin a week earlier, which doesn't seem like a long week.
But it could change many things on the battlefield.
And the guy in front of you is the culprit behind all of this.
And now, I'm still sitting here negotiating with the other side.
Just thinking about these things fills me with rage.
But for the sake of the bigger picture, Special Envoy Malthus Ritt suppressed his anger and said with a smile, "Your methods are truly impressive."
We underestimated you before.
I acknowledge that you and the Dragon Star Empire are both formidable adversaries.
But to be honest.
In a way, we are also friends on the same side.
"oh?
"How so?" Kaguya Elf King Onyne looked at the other party with an interested expression.
Envoy Malthuslit immediately said, "Your Holy Elf Empire suffered from technological stagnation in the past due to the punishment of the Order."
The Devouring Civilization is also constantly harassing you.
The fact that the Dragon Star Empire has now taken over the Devouring Civilization will inevitably provoke the wrath of the Order.
Soon, Order will gather new minions to attack your cosmic cluster.
At the same time, our conqueror civilization and the order are irreconcilable enemies.
You may have already inquired about it.
In our universe, we are constantly at war with the law enforcement civilization.
The reason we have traveled thousands of miles to your universe is not simply to invade.
The main purpose is to expand our military strength.
In exchange for the goal of defeating the civilized law enforcement and being able to confront the order.
In this way, interstellar universes threatened by persecution by the established order can also be protected.
Therefore, we are also considering the bigger picture!
hypocritical.
Upon hearing this, the Elf King Onyne silently evaluated it in his mind with one word.
