Chapter 1994: The Decision of the Holy Maiden Civilization
Yunlong Universe.
The Dragon Star Empire and the Saintess Civilization's legion fleet have been locked in a stalemate for some time.
The previous balance has finally been broken at this moment.
"Warning! Warning! Warning! Abnormal spatial fluctuations have been detected in multiple airspaces!"
The subordinate hurriedly reported the situation to Marshal Xue Xiaoxiao.
Marshal Xue Xiaoxiao looked at the red glowing dots that appeared on the interstellar map, their number increasing from a few to dozens.
It covers almost every location in the entire Yunlong universe suitable for space travel.
Xue Xiaoxiao, however, showed no panic.
Instead, he calmly said, "Pass on my order to immediately gather all the fleet groups."
Shift from offense to defense.
Await my next command.
"yes!"
"I want to see just how many of you have come," Xue Xiaoxiao said, squinting as she awaited further news.
Xue Xiaoxiao had already anticipated the subsequent reinforcements from the Holy Maiden Civilization.
After all, the current situation leaves the Holy Maiden Civilization with only a few options: either to wait it out, to withdraw, or to gamble everything and reinforce its troops again, or even to wage a full-scale war against the Wyvern Interstellar Empire.
Each one actually has a one-third probability.
Therefore, Xue Xiaoxiao had long anticipated that this would happen.
Since it was something she had already anticipated, Xue Xiaoxiao didn't panic at all, no matter how bad the situation was.
Time passed little by little.
The JF-17 fleet groups here began to systematically contract their battle lines, with some fleet groups being quite far apart from each other.
Instead of blindly pursuing rejoining the main force, they activated their backup plan and sought a suitable location to gather here with several other legion fleets that also couldn't retreat in time.
Ultimately, the fifteen Dragon Legion fleets in the Cloud Dragon Universe were divided into three gathering points, resembling a triangular formation.
And looking across.
A large number of interstellar warships have emerged from those suddenly appearing space warp tunnels.
Because Xue Xiaoxiao had deployed many JF-17 interstellar stealth reconnaissance ships in various locations early on, she was able to obtain the latest information on these situations.
These messages will also reach Xue Xiaoxiao.
Xue Xiaoxiao looked at the ever-increasing information on the enemy fleet in front of her.
From the initial enemy having only one billion interstellar warships, to the increase to one billion interstellar warships, and then to one billion and thirteen billion interstellar warships.
1.5 billion interstellar warships.
Eventually, this growth slowed to around 1.6 billion interstellar ships, after which there was a slow increase in some logistical support interstellar ships.
"Report, what can be confirmed at present is..."
The Holy Maiden Civilization has deployed nearly 600 million interstellar warships to the Cloud Dragon Universe, bringing the total number of interstellar warships to sixteen.
In some localized battles, the Saintess Civilization has already launched a new offensive!
"Report, the latest intelligence information has been obtained."
It came from our spies who were planted in the native universe cluster of the Saintess Civilization.
The Holy Maidens' Society of the Holy Maiden Civilization has officially announced that it will wage a full-scale war against our Dragon Star Empire and will deploy all available legion fleets to attack the five universes under our control.
The first goal is the Yunlong Universe.
We will announce to the public that we will annihilate the fifteen legion fleets that invaded our Yunlong Universe!
Even if our Dragon Star Empire sends more legion fleets in the future, they will spare no effort to bury all of our legion fleets here.
Furthermore, they will launch an expeditionary operation against our Dragon Star Empire's home universe cluster!
The information released to the public shows that the Church of Saints is taking a very firm stance this time.
If that's the case, then the number of interstellar warships deployed to the battlefield in the future might not just be the current 1.6 billion.
The staff officers surrounding Xue Xiaoxiao fell silent at that moment.
"Why is everyone so quiet? Didn't you all anticipate this situation?" Xue Xiaoxiao teased, looking at the silent staff officers.
One of the staff officers said helplessly, "We did consider this situation in advance."
We never imagined that the Holy Maiden Civilization would actually go to such lengths.
In this way, our original plan was to fight a local war here, control five universes including the Jessica universe, and then stop while we were ahead.
But now, this local war may have escalated into a full-scale war.
This exceeded our original expectations.
This is beyond our control.
The course of this war needs to be reported to higher authorities and requires the permission of His Majesty the Emperor of the Dragon.
Our current fleet of legions is far from sufficient.
The other staff officers nodded in agreement.
Xue Xiaoxiao said calmly, "Now that we know these things, His Majesty the Dragon Emperor will also know them."
As for what arrangements and deployments His Majesty the Emperor of the Dragon will make afterward, that is not something we need to worry about.
If there are new orders, they will naturally be relayed down.
Until then, we are still soldiers fighting in this universe, and we must do everything we are supposed to do.
Relay my orders.
Each legion's fleet groups defended their own battle lines, resisting enemy attacks and depleting enemy spaceships.
Make reasonable tactical deployments.
I don't ask for anything else.
"At least the casualty ratio of each fleet group must reach twenty to one!"
Xue Xiaoxiao set this standard for each legion and fleet group without hesitation.
A ratio of 20 to 1 forms a line.
Even if the fifteen legion fleets brought by Xue Xiaoxiao are completely wiped out here, the enemy will still have to pay the price of at least one billion interstellar warships!
On the other side.
Dragon Star Empire - Dragon Star Region
The Dragon Emperor was awakened directly from his own body. He had been in the Black Great Wall in the outer space for some time.
This was the first time he had been directly awakened.
Looking at Lilith standing beside his bed, he knew that something serious must have happened.
He sat up and asked, "What happened?"
As he spoke, he prepared to get up.
Lilith, the chief secretary, acted like a maid as she picked up Zhao Chen's clothes, dressing him while reporting on the events unfolding in the Cloud Dragon Universe.
"The Holy Maiden Civilization has gone all in; the thing we least wanted to see has happened."
Perhaps this time we have truly crossed the line with the Holy Maiden Civilization.
They have declared war on us in full force and have already deployed additional interstellar warships towards the Saintess Civilization. At this moment, the Saintess Civilization's fleet in the Cloud Dragon Universe has reached 1.6 billion ships!
