Chapter 2224: The Dax Empire Fleet Arrives!
Dax Empire Fleet
The captain, lying in the hibernation pod, opened his eyes and heard a notification sound.
"Warp drive has ended."
After a brief moment of stunned silence, the captain of the Dax Empire immediately recalled what he needed to do and where he was.
This is the mental quality a professional captain should have.
Ordinary people will feel unwell after a warp drive, experiencing dizziness, and some may even suffer from temporary amnesia.
He is the fleet commander of the Dax Empire civilization, commanding three hundred interstellar warships.
He was ordered to launch an expedition to a star system and wipe out the trial civilization there.
Thanks to their favorable starting point and rapid development, the Dax Empire civilization was able to enter the T1 interstellar era and even the later T2 interstellar era in a very short time.
Their subsequent interstellar civilization strategy was to fight fast and eliminate the trial civilizations in the surrounding star systems in the shortest possible time.
Under this strategy, they destroyed five trial civilizations in succession.
Furthermore, by using war to sustain war, they acquired a large amount of star system territory, and the resources developed from these territories fueled the rapid development of their civilization.
In those battles, other fleets were the main attackers, and we could only get a small share of the spoils.
finally!
After the discovery of a new galaxy.
He was given an opportunity to lead his fleet of three hundred interstellar warships on an expedition into the galaxy.
No matter how many interstellar civilizations or interstellar warships are here.
He intends to sweep through this area.
Beep beep beep beep beep beep
Suddenly, a piercing alarm sounded on the bridge.
The fleet commander was startled.
What happened?
We've only just completed warp drive, why is it alarming?
Could it be that these systems malfunctioned during warp drive?
But soon, what he saw outside the porthole left him speechless.
Because he saw a fleet of interstellar warships poised to strike, their cannons gleaming and all aimed at them.
Enemy ships?
Were we ambushed?
At that moment, his instincts as a commander told him immediately what he had encountered.
"Enemy attack!"
This is an enemy attack!
"Activate Star Shield!" the fleet commander roared.
But at that moment, all those interstellar missiles and naval cannons came crashing down.
One after another, exploding fireballs appeared on the starships of the Dax Empire civilization fleet.
Some T1 starships were destroyed by artillery fire and torn to pieces in a very short time.
They didn't even have a chance to call for help or fight back.
The fleet commander of the Dax Empire roared, "Starships forward, protect the fleet!"
Other starships, immediately prepare for battle!
Counterattack! Counterattack!
The Dax Empire's interstellar fleet also possessed strong combat skills, and immediately began preparing for a counterattack after being attacked in the first wave.
Meanwhile, on the other side were the JF-17 and Frey fleets.
They also realized something was wrong.
It was an interstellar warship encased in defensive shields.
"It's a T3 interstellar warship!" Marshal Chu Xuan stared at the enclosed interstellar warship.
The worst has happened.
The Dax Empire civilization already possesses T3 interstellar warships.
The good news is that among the three hundred interstellar warships on the other side, there is only one T3 interstellar warship.
This indicates that while T3 interstellar warships existed in the Dax Empire civilization, their numbers were limited.
But what Marshal Chu Xuan is facing right now is a difficult problem.
So, should we deal with this T3 starship equipped with Star Shield first, or should we deal with the other starships first?
Almost instantly, Chu Xuan had an idea.
"Order all T2 interstellar frigates to rush forward and entangle this T3 interstellar warship."
The remaining starships, launch a full-scale attack on the other interstellar warships!
"Transmit our battle plan to the commander of Fleet Frey!"
Upon receiving the battle plan, the Frey fleet nearby immediately began to coordinate.
They deployed a portion of their starships to besiege this T3 interstellar warship.
"marshal?
Why should we attack the other starships first?
If this starship poses a greater threat...
"Then we should concentrate all our firepower and destroy this T3 starship first." Huo Lidia asked curiously from behind Marshal Chu Xuan.
Marshal Chu Xuan glanced at Huo Lidia, just in time to see that the battle orders had already been delivered.
She explained, "T3-class interstellar warships are significantly stronger than other interstellar warships, and they are extremely troublesome."
Its firepower is also stronger.
It should be destroyed first.
However, T3-class starships are all equipped with star shields.
Destroying a starship with Star Shield is very difficult and requires a lot of our ammunition and time.
During this period of time, our fleet will suffer heavy losses.
In other words...
No matter how powerful this T3 starship is, it is only one starship.
If we can arrange for our starships to take turns defending and counterbalancing, we can greatly reduce our losses.
Furthermore, the remaining starships can unleash a full-scale attack on the enemy's T2 and T1 starships!
Huo Lidia pondered this principle, and it seemed she understood.
And at this time.
The T2 Lion King-class heavy interplanetary missile ship is firing at full power.
All the interstellar missiles were fired at the enemy's interstellar warships.
Furthermore, they focused their attacks on enemy starships and starship cruisers, which were the primary targets of their attacks.
Under this barrage of interstellar missiles, these Dax Empire interstellar warships suffered heavy losses.
"The severely damaged interstellar warships should be withdrawn."
Don't linger in the fight!
"Watch out for flanking maneuvers!"
"Hold the enemy's T3 flagship back!"
The number of Dax Empire interstellar warships within the encirclement is decreasing, and the encirclement is getting smaller and smaller.
Although the Dax Empire's T3 flagship possessed T3-level weaponry, it was restrained by dozens of surrounding interstellar warships and had no way to counter it.
They could only watch helplessly as the rest of their fleet's interstellar warships were gradually eroded away.
Time passed little by little.
Three hours later.
The only remaining interstellar warship of the Dax Empire civilization was the lonely T3 flagship, and almost no part of the T3 flagship's hull was in good condition.
All the weapon modules were destroyed, and a huge hole appeared in the starship, revealing its ruins.
This T3 starship has completely lost its combat capability.
"Which trial civilization are you from?"
Across the blurry video window, the commander of the Dax Fleet stared intently at the two men opposite him.
They are Marshal Chu Xuan and Commander Frey, respectively.
Marshal Chu Xuan wasn't lying; saying more would only reveal more information.
If she's not mistaken, the commander of the Dax fleet is probably sending back a constant stream of messages.
Inform them of what has happened here in their own civilization.
"If you're willing to tell us, what's the current state of the Dax Empire civilization?"
"Then perhaps I can spare your life," Marshal Chu Xuan teased.
"Ha ha ha ha.
I am a great warrior of the Dax Empire civilization.
You lot are just waiting to die.
This trial of the gods will surely be won by our Dax Empire!
Long live Dax!
Dax wins!
As soon as he finished speaking, an explosion was heard from the other side, and the video feed disappeared.
Marshal Chu Xuan looked up at the bridge of the T3 starship outside the porthole, where a violent explosion had just occurred.
The explosion was detonated by the fleet commander, presumably to completely destroy all data within the starship system and prevent them from leaking any possible intelligence about the Dax Empire civilization.
"Clean up the battlefield."
Take stock of our losses.
"Take care of the wounded promptly!" Marshal Chu Xuan instructed.
One shuttle after another flew out and began searching for the wounded inside the damaged starships.
Without dedicated interstellar medical ships, these shuttles have to fill that role.
At that moment, an interstellar transport ship sailed forward.
The interior of this interstellar transport ship has been modified to include a more comprehensive medical facility than those on other starships, enabling it to better provide medical care for the seriously wounded.
Those who sustained only minor injuries during the battle received treatment on their respective starships.
If the injuries are severe, they will be transferred to this interstellar transport ship for specialized treatment.
The battle is over.
However, the atmosphere on the battlefield remained somewhat heavy.
Because both the Frey fleet and the JF-17 fleet are still around.
"Is there any movement from Frey's fleet?" Marshal Chu Xuan asked his adjutant, Hordia.
Huo Lidia replied, "The Ferre fleet is just cleaning up the battlefield. Some of their interstellar warships are still in a state of combat readiness, with their cannons pointed at us."
But they didn't attack us.
"It seems the commander on the other side isn't a fool either." Marshal Chu Xuan breathed a sigh of relief.
Since the other side didn't make a move when the battle just ended.
At that point, there's no need to take any further action.
"Get me in touch with their commander."
"yes."
The communication window is open.
Commander Ferre appeared on the opposite side, his face expressionless.
"The battle is over."
However, our message has already reached the Dax Empire.
The next time the Dax Empire sends a fleet, it won't be just three hundred ships.
Moreover, it is highly likely that they will send a large number of interstellar fleets to attack us in a very short period of time.
Therefore, we cannot let our guard down.
Prepare for the next battle.
After this war, the wreckage of these Dax Empire starships was divided equally between our two civilizations.
As for the wreckage of this T3 starship, it will be valued based on its remaining worth.
Whoever wants it, we'll exchange it for resources.
how?
If we discover anything new in our research, we should share it.
After listening to Commander Chu Xuan's words, Commander Frey thought for a moment and nodded, saying, "We will build an interstellar fortress here."
A fleet is permanently stationed there.
This time we can ambush them.
Next time they will definitely be prepared, they will certainly be prepared.
It's practically impossible for us to launch an ambush.
They could only rely on the scattered sentries to detect the approaching starfleet.
"Yes." Marshal Chu Xuan nodded.
The two sides exchanged a few words and then the communication ended.
"marshal.
The post-war statistics have been compiled.
In this battle.
We destroyed more than 150 enemy ships.
Our side lost fifteen starships, and another thirty-five starships were damaged to varying degrees, but are still navigable.
More than 1,300 people sacrificed their lives.
Thirty-nine people were seriously injured.
The seriously injured have received treatment and are currently undergoing emergency care.
Marshal Chu Xuan glanced at the reported battle damage data and recorded the information of all the fallen personnel.
Thirty-nine people.
In this battle, thirty-nine people from their Xiaolong Kingdom died.
These are thirty-nine people out of those ten thousand.
Marshal Chu Xuan couldn't help but clench her fist.
Although not all of the 10,000 people brought over these years died.
However, Zhao Chen has always treated these people with great care.
After all, with each of these 10,000 people who die, there will be one less to lose.
More importantly, none of them knew whether those who died in this trial could be resurrected.
But everyone knows that something is there.
However, during the battle, no one was afraid of fighting or dying.
Those who made it onto this list of ten thousand were all prepared to die for the Xiaolong Empire.
Thirty-nine people died in this battle.
In interstellar warfare, starship casualties would only be greater.
When a starship is destroyed, the crew is likely to perish, and only a few will survive.
Marshal Chu Xuan took a deep breath.
She said, "Take all the wreckage of our starship back."
If we find the bodies of our soldiers, we should collect them.
They are our martyrs who died in battle.
We cannot allow their bodies to drift aimlessly in this universe.
"who!"

Dragon Palace Star Harbor
Zhao Chen received the news immediately after the war.
Zhao Chen was not surprised by the news of the victory.
When ambushing the enemy, victory is to be expected.
What he is concerned about is...
The enemy has a T3 interstellar warship.
This means that the Dax Empire already has starship factories and production lines for producing T3 interstellar warships.
This means that the Dax Empire will have more and more T3 interstellar warships in the future.
In this battle.
The JF-17's starships, along with those of the opposing Frey civilization, suffered a loss of nearly fifty ships.
If it weren't for the presence of this T3 flagship, the losses would have been at least halved.
"A T3 interstellar warship?" Zhao Chen closed his eyes and pondered.
There is a T3 interstellar warship, based on this calculation.
The Nadax Empire currently possesses approximately ten T3 interstellar warships.
Not too many.
Otherwise, they wouldn't have sent only one T3 interstellar warship instead of a fleet of three hundred starships.
But there is still one question.
That's the production capacity of the Dax Empire's future T3 interstellar warships.
"Nearly two years ago, when the Dax Empire attacked the neighboring star system, there were no T3 interstellar warships yet."
In two years, ten T3 interstellar warships were created.
Let's calculate based on this situation.
If it were our Dragon Kingdom...
With current production, the annual output should be around thirty to fifty ships.
No more than one hundred ships.
"Next time, at least a third of the T3 interstellar warships will arrive." Zhao Chen frowned.
