Chapter 1604 - 518: Facing Fleet Focused Fire
Chapter 1604: Chapter 518: Facing Fleet Focused Fire
"How much longer is expected?"
After a moment of silence, the Favored of the Creator asked in a deep voice.
The reporting Favored straightened up and immediately provided the pre-calculated answer:
"When detected, the fleet of the Three Great Civilizations was still at the entrance of this Star Region.
If there are no special measures or accidents, according to calculations, there is about half an hour left."
"Half an hour, almost the same as the result foretold in the prophecy..."
Comparing this result with the earlier prophecy of the Favored in a white robe, a slight sense of reassurance settled in his heart, but it lasted only a moment before the pressure filled him again.
"Half an hour is enough.
The fleet has already fully arrived nearby, and together with the space fortress originally set up there, we should be able to build a defense line before their arrival..."
The Favored calculated in his mind, still feeling uneasy.
The fleet he referred to was one that had traveled directly towards that direction via teleportation during earlier battles.
They certainly couldn’t rely solely on the Teleportation Gate for all their fleets.
Initially, using the Teleportation Gate to deploy warships was sought after because it was the fastest method, but it didn’t mean it was the only option.
Moreover, when they decided to use the Teleportation Gate to deploy the fleet, they were already prepared for delays. The gate itself couldn’t teleport every fleet, so they had additional insurance.
Early on, when launching the first attack on the vanguard fleet of the Three Great Civilizations, aside from the fleet attempting to break through with the Teleportation Gate, the rest were already teleporting directly in that direction through primitive means.
After all, according to calculations, the position where the vanguard fleet arrived was bound to be the main assault direction of the Three Great Civilizations.
However, according to the original plan, they should have already dealt with this vanguard fleet by now.
Once the fleet is dealt with, they can calmly set up defense in advance and even intercept the main fleet of the Three Great Civilizations outside the direct control area.
Unexpectedly, they were forcibly delayed for so long.
This drastically reduced the time available for deployment, sharply increasing the battle pressure.
These fleets that journeyed through teleportation indeed became the final insurance, the defensive line’s last resort.
Even though they were mentally prepared, the news of reinforcements for the Three Great Civilizations made the atmosphere more oppressive.
After a long silence, someone finally broke it:
"I still think we need to deal with this fleet first!
Even if we need to face the main fleet next, this vanguard unit is still the enemy.
If not dealt with now, should we wait until the main fleet arrives and let them regroup as our enemy again!
Since they are all enemies, shouldn’t we seize the opportunity to take them down with minimal sacrifice while they are still weak?
I only ask for one fleet to be sent over.
They are already barely holding on, and if we break the balance, victory will be easy!
Just one fleet will not affect your arrangements!"
The Favored in a blue robe clenched his fist, slapped the armrest, and glared at the Favored of the Creator with a burning gaze.
"Sigh...
Alright, I’ll arrange for a fleet."
With a faint sigh, the Favored of the Creator was persuaded and allowed the plan.
To say he didn’t want this fleet taken out is false; he had personal grievances with this fleet.
If only they could have attacked this fleet sooner, if only they hadn’t been deceived by Fan Mao, which wasted so much time.
He would have been the first to fully support taking out this fleet.
However, it had been delayed for too long, and for the sake of the larger picture, he had to abandon targeting this fleet and prioritize deploying strength against the main fleet of the Three Great Civilizations.
Just as now, that vanguard fleet fears their strength, and they must do everything possible to delay their full attack, but the premise is that it mustn’t affect their fleet’s response capacity to a total war.
They also fear the incoming strength of the Three Great Civilizations, needing to do their utmost to delay the attack on their homeland.
Simultaneously, they must ensure there’s no doubt over the true defense line.
Yet in this confrontation, the Three Great Civilizations had the upper hand, more precisely, Fan Mao had the upper hand.
Unconsciously recalling Fan Mao’s remarkable impression in several battles, his expression grew darker.
"I’ll have everything prepared for your fleet; you can go directly to command. Prioritize subsequent defense. If you can’t break through quickly, don’t get entangled in a fight.
But if there’s a chance... never mind.
Even though he wanted to urge them to eliminate Fan Mao, in the end, he refrained.
Trying to deal with that fleet was already difficult enough; adding extra objectives would risk losing too much.
Fan Mao’s strength was too mysterious. If this cost them both the objective and the fleet, it would be a grave loss.
"Rest assured, I might not be good at much, but I can retreat just fine. I’m heading over now!"
The blue-robed Favored spoke excitedly, got up suddenly, stepped into the void, and disappeared from the room.
"Alright, we should also get moving and head to the defense line.
By the way, how is that ’Sleeping Beauty’?"
"She has already returned."
Finally receiving some good news, the heaviness on the Favored’s face eased slightly.
"Very well, then we can give the Three Great Civilizations a surprise..."
