1524 Fortunately We Also Have Many
The huge space fleet is sailing in the direction of the Higgs region. These warships can be said to be the crystallization of the war technology of the Alan Hill Empire.
As the core of the fleet, the huge invincible level 2 battleship sailed on the innermost side, and the slightly smaller invincible level battleships sailed on the left and right of it.
On the periphery of the battleships are densely packed Violent Level 2 Cruisers and Violent Level Cruisers, and on the outside are Exploration Level 2 Destroyers that have been modified and strengthened.
Behind the almost invisible fleet is the aviation strike fleet. The fleet centered on aircraft carriers can only be placed in the second echelon because they don't know whether the destructive power is enough to destroy the enemy's warships.
These super-huge aircraft carriers don't have much armor protection, nor are they equipped with huge star destroyers, but they can carry 500 to 1,000 carrier-based aircraft!
These carrier-based aircraft can carry powerful nuclear weapons, and they are more powerful super nuclear bombs that have been modified by magic enhancement.
Each battleship has its own number on the side of the ship, and behind the number is the golden eagle national emblem of the Alan Hill Empire.
Many battleships also fly the black flag of the Elland Hill Empire, but it is not so obvious in the black background universe.
Because there is no wind, these flags also deliberately use metal supports so that they can also be unfolded in space.
At the core of the fleet, on the bridge of a heavily armored and bulky invincible Tier 2 super battleship, an officer is marking a fleet that shines like stars on the spacious interstellar sand table.
This fleet is advancing along a fixed route, and the three-dimensional star map shows that the final destination of this fleet is the Higgs 5 planet.
While pointing at the advancing fleet, the staff officer introduced to his fleet commander: "The Fifth Fleet has left its home port and arrived near the Higgs 5 planet near the border of the Empire!"
As he spoke, he pointed to several light spots on the other side with the cursor, and continued: "The two infantry divisions 111 and 112 have arrived at Higgs 5 in a transport spacecraft. In addition, we are dispatching 40 The division strengthens the defense of the Higgs region, and another 50 divisions are being assembled and mobilized."
The Alan Hill Empire is using various methods to strengthen its military strength in the direction of the enemy. Not only have all the main fleets been transferred in this direction, but they are also adding ground defense forces to this area.
As soon as it got the news, the Alan Hill Empire added 92 puppet robot infantry divisions to the Higgs region—yes, that's right, a full 92 infantry divisions!
Each infantry division has a standard establishment of 30,000 people and is equipped with a large number of conventional artillery. Although the heavy equipment is not too much, the scale is still amazing.
The mixed main forces of the 111th Division and 112th Division are even more amazing in combat effectiveness. Coupled with the main force already deployed in the local area, the defensive strength has been directly increased by more than ten times!
"If necessary, 200 divisions will be sent to the Higgs region as soon as possible to fully strengthen the defense of the Higgs region." The staff officer paused and continued.
"The 1st Fleet and the 2nd Fleet have arrived in the Higgs area. In addition, we cannot confirm that the enemy will only attack the Higgs area, so we are increasing our forces to the surrounding areas." Another staff officer used the cursor The positions of other fleets were indicated, the Opening Exchange reported.
As he said, he pointed to the galaxy next to him: "Near the Higgs region is the Atlanta region and the Dothan region. The plan of the military department is to deploy the 3rd Fleet in the Atlanta region. The 4 fleet is deployed in the Dothan region. It becomes a corner and supports each other."
"Our 6th Fleet is deployed behind the 2nd Fleet as a general reserve force, and the 7th Fleet is approaching the 3rd Fleet!" As he spoke, he pointed to the place where his own fleet was, and then pointed to where the following fleet was marching. direction.
"Marshal Genesis has ordered a reconnaissance force to be dispatched,
Confirm the enemy's direction of travel, as well as the size of the fleet! "Speaking, he handed the tablet in his hand to the commander-in-chief of the fleet.
"If the control of the universe is lost, the troops on the ground will not last long! We all know this, so the battle situation on the ground depends entirely on whether the space fleet can win the battle." Received from his chief of staff Passing the tablet, Fleet Commander-in-Chief Lester looked down at the data.
"We want to give everyone the confidence to win! Tell them to be confident and calmly face the upcoming enemies!" After reading the data, Lester continued.
"General!" A staff officer said with some embarrassment: "Everyone is very nervous now, we don't know how powerful the enemy is, and we don't know how powerful we are..."
"Perhaps once the two sides fight, our fleet will be completely eaten by the other side...Have you ever heard of a science fiction novel called Three-Body Problem? The one that became popular three years ago." Lester asked in order to ease the atmosphere A digression.
A colonel officer nodded and replied: "I have heard that, I remember that the humans in the book built thousands of warships, but they were blown up by a water droplet from the opponent."
"I heard that the book satirizes His Majesty's militarism...but it is really well written." Another staff officer frowned and reminded.
"Don't mention it, after I read it, I have nightmares every day because I was pierced through the head by a drop of water! You are not angry, but some people say that the huge fleet we have worked so hard to beat a drop of water!" Another staff officer The officer immediately stood in line and made his position clear.
Although the Ministry of the Interior of the Empire did not make any restrictions in the end, the science fiction novel called Three-Body Problem was still sold on the market, but the military has always resisted this book.
After all, in the book, the human fleet loses ugly, and it can be said that it is powerless to fight back. Under such circumstances, it is no surprise that no one is willing to mention this book.
Seeing that everyone was no longer suppressed by the tense atmosphere, Lester handed back the tablet in his hand to the chief of staff, and asked, "How is the energy preparation going?"
"Report to the general! The logistics department has established a large number of supply bases in the first-line defense positions! These bases can be used as battlefield support, and a large amount of fusion fuel and magic spar energy are stored inside!" The chief of staff immediately replied.
"General! Five hours ago, the cruiser of the 107th Squadron moved forward. It is estimated that within 4 hours, there may be contact with the enemy." At this time, a communications officer came over and handed a message to the rest.
No matter how much the atmosphere in the bridge was adjusted, it still couldn't be active. Because the war is about to break out, everyone is waiting for a result.
To be honest, many people have suffered from mild insomnia since yesterday, and even on familiar beds, they can only toss and turn.
They have been drifting in the universe for more than a year, and at least they have lived in space for a month. But they still have insomnia, because they are too nervous and insomnia!
No one knew what the war they were about to face would be like, and no one knew how terrifying the powerful guardian force that destroyed the Heavenly Sword God Sect's sect was.
Everyone only knew that these terrifying enemies had arrived at the border of the empire, and they were about to come into contact with the fleet ahead.
The communications officer saw that Lester looked down at the message, and quickly added: "The image data will be sent to all fleets as soon as possible using the most advanced overclocking space transmission device."
Lester was taken aback for a moment, then nodded and said with emotion: "Live TV broadcast? It's really convenient."
Twenty years ago, Celis's communication basically relied on messengers to send sealed scrolls on horseback! Twenty years later, the Alan Hill Empire has been able to transfer files at super-light speed through technology.
"Then take a look, let's see how our scout fleet is in the first battle with the enemy!" Lester returned to his command position, raised his head, and looked at the situation hanging there not far away. big screen.
...
Outside the empire, on the deck of the Violence-class cruiser of the Scouting Fleet, the turrets of the electromagnetic guns suddenly raised their barrels as if cramped, and quickly fine-tuned to aim at the darkness in the distance.
The captain standing in front of the porthole with his hands behind his back, waited for his battleship to start shelling distant targets.
On the screen, there were countless light spots showing the enemy army, as if a huge monster was lying across the route of the fleet.
"The enemy is in range!" A puppet robot reported loudly, and then the electromagnetic gun began to blast out rows of shining shells.
These shells pierced through the black space of the universe, and rushed straight into the darkness in the distance. In the next second, dense black energy rays rushed out of the darkness and hit the defensive magic circle on the bow of the Violence-class cruiser.
"Boom!" The huge vibration caused the captain of the cruiser to almost fall to the ground. He managed to hold on to the glass to stabilize his body, and saw the darkness in the distance began to squirm densely.
He waited for his eyes, carefully identified, and finally saw clearly what it was that seemed to be wriggling that blocked the stars!
That is a densely packed fleet! It's one after another of the strange balls that used to appear in the Higgs 5!
The difference is that there were only three such strange balls on Higgs No. 5 at that time, but here... there are thousands of the same strange balls!
Those strange balls gathered together, surrounded by a larger and more terrifying-looking strange spaceship, approaching the place where the Violence-class cruiser was.
"Start the space jump!" The captain, who knew that if he acted recklessly, he would die, immediately gave his subordinates the command to run away.
At the same time, he pointed forward and continued to order loudly: "The energy laser cannon fires!"
Turning around and running is not the style of the Alan Hill Empire Army. If you don't fire a cannon at this time, the captain feels that he is sorry for himself.
A huge ray of light suddenly illuminated the nearby starry sky, and the five patrol cruisers in formation almost simultaneously shot out beams of energy laser cannons.
These beams rushed into the strange balls like a swarm of bees, triggering a series of explosions. In the exchange of fire at such a long distance, neither side seemed to be able to do anything to the other. After shelling each other for a round, the reconnaissance fleet of the Alan Hill Empire activated the space jump engine and disappeared in place.
"The enemy army is the same as what we encountered before! They just strengthened their main guns and increased the range of some weapons..." After the scouting fleet of the Alan Hill Empire disappeared not far away, a voice in the darkness was very disappointed. Said: "They steal the energy of the universe, tear apart the space, and destroy the laws... Apart from this, they have not grown at all."
"If they're only at this level, then it's really a waste of time for us to come all the way!" Sorens' voice sounded, a little irritated and a little disappointed: "I hope they don't let us down..."
In the territory of Ireland Hill, Marshal Genesis sat on his command position, looked up at the screen, the densely packed enemy fleet, his eyes were full of shock.
As the commander-in-chief of the Imperial Space Force, he once thought that there would be no force that could have a force comparable to the size of the space fleet of the Alan Hill Empire.
But now, he saw with his own eyes the scale of the Watcher's fleet—it was also a fleet with no end in sight, and it was also a super fleet with such a large number that it would make one's scalp tingle at a glance!
"There are too many radar reflections, and the computer is no longer able to analyze the number of the opponent's warships. According to preliminary estimates, the number of the opponent's first-line warships should exceed 3,000! A conservative estimate should be that the number of opponent's warships should be more than 10,000!"
"Good guy...the Watcher actually has 10,000 battleships comparable to the Violence-class cruiser!" Genesis let out a sigh of relief, feeling a little unbelievable.
"This is just a conservative estimate! Marshal Genesis! The opponent probably has more than 30,000 ships!" A general of the staff reminded in a low voice.
"I know!" Genesis stood up, walked to the porthole of the flagship Serris, stared at the stars in the distance, and ordered: "The 1st Fleet moves to the left rear to give way to the front of the Higgs 5." !"
"Move, retreat obliquely to the rear..." After hearing Genesis' order, the helmsman in the entire fleet began to repeat the order, and there were busy voices one after another.
"Order, the 2nd Fleet moves forward to the other side of the Higgs 5! Make up the frontal gap! All positions are ready for battle..." Genesis continued to order, ignoring the busy helmsmen.
On the other side of the Higgs 5, inside the bridge of the 2nd Fleet's flagship, the Mayne, Bakarov showed a smile on his face: "You are really cautious! The fleet is moving forward! Get ready for battle!"
"Fortunately...we have more than 10,000 warships!" He stood up, walked to the porthole, and muttered softly as he watched Higgs 5 gradually being left behind.
