One Thousand Six Hundred and Fourteen Expansion

In the vast universe, a spaceship that is not huge but has very conspicuous detection equipment is flying rapidly.

Soon, it was hit by two black energy rays, destroyed by the explosion, and turned into wreckage floating in the universe.

However, before it was completely destroyed, the data it recorded was still sent out.

This is an unmanned detection spacecraft of the Alan Hill Empire, and its role is to monitor the Watcher's fleet. It's just that this time, it was destroyed a little faster, a little earlier.

A few minutes later, inside the huge bridge of the flagship Serris of the First Space Fleet of the Alan Hill Empire, the adjutant handed a piece of information to Genesis: "Marshal, this is the unmanned scout ship just sent The distribution of detected enemy warships...I think...the situation has changed."

His tone was full of worry, and his voice was a bit strange. Genesis frowned slightly, because he knew that his adjutant was not a person who easily expressed his emotions.

After all, I have been with the Marshal of the Empire for some years, and under the influence of my ears and eyes, I still have some temperament and concentration.

So, Genesis took the telegram from the other party's hand, looked down at the content on it: "Huh?"

The adjutant explained: "Less than half an hour ago, we just detected that the number of the opponent's warships near the Higgs 4 has increased significantly... probably more than twice the original number..."

Genesis also knew this information, but compared with the content of the information in his hand now, his expression also became serious.

He folded the information and looked at the few staff officers around him who were just worried about the situation near Higgs 4.

Then, his eyes fell back on the adjutant: "But on our side, the enemy fleet attacking the Higgs No. 3 defense line... It seems that the number has not decreased."

Herein lies the problem. The enemy reinforced the field near Higgs 4, but did not reduce its forces on the field of Higgs 3.

This means that the enemy's total force is increasing, and the rate of increase is very fast!

The adjutant immediately replied: "Yes, Marshal, it's not just that, the radar reflection signal sent back by our unmanned reconnaissance ship also proves a piece of news - the density of enemy ships has increased!"

Compared with the density of the previous Watcher space fleet, the scanning situation sent back by this spacecraft now shows that in the area it detected, the density of Watcher's warships has more than doubled.

That is to say, not only the guardian fleet on the front of the Higgs 3 planet has not decreased, but the number has also increased a lot.

Genesis was taken aback for a moment, and then looked at the several staff officers around him: "The density has increased? That is to say, the Watchmen's troops have increased in the two main attack directions."

The faces of several staff officers became uneasy. They communicated with each other in low voices and began to analyze the enemy's combat intentions.

"Yes, Marshal. The situation is deteriorating. It seems that the other side's reinforcements have arrived, and the number is extremely large." The adjutant raised his chin and answered the answer that everyone was worried about.

Being able to simultaneously increase the density of warships on a front of tens of millions of kilometers is not a simple increase in the number.

In a sense, the enemies might even have doubled! Facing the doubling of numbers at this level, any commander would feel a headache.

If the number of enemies changes from 2,000 to 4,000, it doesn't actually increase much, but if the number of enemies changes from 20 million to 40 million, it can definitely rewrite the outcome of a war.

"We have no way to continuously detect the universe behind the watchman. In this case, we can't judge whether the enemy has any follow-up reinforcements. In other words, we don't know whether the opponent has invested in a strategic reserve." A The staff officer said to Genesis.

"It's not the reserve team!" Genesis shook his head, and judged: "The enemy's troops did not attack smoothly before. Judging from the enemy's deployment, they probably guessed our strategic intentions. If they have prepared If it is a team, it should have been put on the battlefield long ago."

"So..." After he finished speaking, he looked at several capable staff officers: "According to the analysis that there will be a large number of follow-up reinforcements...judging according to the most serious situation!"

"Well, if the enemy continues to increase the number of this level, then we may all be very passive in the next few months." A staff officer said immediately.

Another staff officer also expressed his opinion: "The enemy is likely to take advantage of its numerical superiority to gain control of the local battlefield. We must find a way to delay the time so that the opponent cannot smoothly increase troops to the surface of Higgs 3."

One of the staff officers repeated the old tune once and asked, "Will the enemy destroy the Higgs 3 directly?"

"We can't judge this. We can only analyze it based on the experience of Higgs 5, assuming they won't destroy Higgs 3." Several staff officers around him shook their heads repeatedly and retorted.

"I don't recommend continuing to add troops to Higgs 3...in case they open fire to attack the planet..." The staff officer who had been worried about the other party's destruction of the planet still suggested.

"If we stop the reinforcements, the ground troops will..." Several other staff officers began to argue with him. However, before they finished arguing, Genesis spoke to his adjutant: "Order...the Zaku fleet is transferred to the outer orbit of the Higgs 3 to deploy defenses...focus on defending against the enemy's attack on the Higgs 3. Landing Assault!"

Genesis is a ruthless person. He doesn't think it's a safe thing to put the safety of Higgs 3 on the watchers' conscience.

Therefore, what he has to do is very simple, which is to stabilize the air supremacy of the Higgs 3 outer space and ensure that the enemy's fleet has no chance to directly destroy the Higgs 3 planet.

This is his way of protecting General Medias and the tens of millions of troops under his command.

"Yes!" The adjutant stood at attention and saluted, before turning around and leaving. However, his departure was stopped by another officer who hurried over.

"Report! Marshal!" The liaison officer in charge of contacting the ground troops stood at attention and saluted in front of Genesis.

"What's the matter?" Genesis felt that the situation on the battlefield seemed to be undergoing tremendous changes, and the news sent at such a time did not seem to be good news.

Sure enough, the liaison officer opened his mouth and told the bad news from the ground troops: "The news just came that the number of ground troops on Higgs 3 increased sharply, and they suddenly launched a counterattack against our frontline troops. .”

"Directly use the division to increase the number of ground troops on the surface of Higgs 3? Why didn't they do this before?" Genesis was taken aback, and then looked at the staff officers who were already a little dazed.

These staff officers also looked at a loss. The Alan Hill Empire had already established a more accurate model of the division of the Sweeper troops before.

Judging from this model, there is a certain pattern in the splitting speed and quantity of the Watcher's troops. This general pattern allowed the Alan Hill Empire to draw up accurate combat plans and achieve a series of victories.

But now, the watchman has broken the laws of this mathematical model, which means that a series of subsequent strategic decisions will have to be reversed and reset.

A staff officer spoke bitterly, and said to Genesis: "We don't know. We are still studying the other party's split, and there is no definite analysis result yet."

"What did Medias say?" Genesis also knew that such things could not be blamed on the computing department that built the model, and the Imperial General Staff. Because the previous model should be accurate, the immediate changes should be special cases. So he looked at the Army Liaison Officer and asked.

The liaison officer immediately replied: "General Medias has ordered the troops to retreat, abandoning the tidal tactics, and shrinking the troops back to the original fixed line of defense. Some troops have suffered losses, but everything has not exceeded the tolerance."

After a slight pause, he continued: "He called to explain to us that he had used 25 high-yield nuclear bombs in the enemy's controlled area in an attempt to block the enemy's pursuit."

"What about the effect?" Genesis asked immediately.

The liaison officer replied with some regret: "It has had a certain effect. The enemy and our ground troops have indeed disengaged. However... Judging from the feedback from the reconnaissance plane, the number of opponents is still increasing. The effect is not as obvious as the previous few times.”

"Did he say the reason?" Genesis wanted to hear Mediath's analysis.

But it's a pity that Medias is also confused now - he didn't find the enemy space reinforcements, but the number of enemies in front suddenly increased, and it was impossible for him to make a correct judgment.

As for the liaison officer, I don't know anything. So he shook his head, and said to Genesis: "No, this requires professional analysis by technicians. It may be that the radiation resistance has increased, or it may be that the other party is simply splitting..."

A staff officer straightened out his thoughts at this time, and said: "At least we know that the splitting of the other party requires energy, that is, magic. The increase in the splitting speed will definitely consume a lot of magic energy."

Glancing at the environmental data in the computer, he continued: "However, the magical energy in almost all the universes and regions in the theater has not dropped sharply, that is to say...in a short period of time, the concentration of magical energy near the theater has increased! "

Genesis immediately looked at the adjutant who hadn't left, and gave another order: "Send the situation to the expert group on astronomy and magic...Things don't happen for no reason, we must know why!"

"Yes! Marshal!" The adjutant who did not leave once again stood at attention and saluted, and agreed.

At this time, a fleet communications officer hurried over, and reported before arriving at the place: "The flagship of the outpost 300457 fleet sent a message, it is the clone commander of the fleet, Colonel Bufas..."

"Read." Genesis vaguely felt something was wrong.

"The enemy launched an attack suddenly, and our fleet has been surrounded. Long live the empire, and I will live and die with the battleship..." The communications officer finished reading the message in a low voice.

Many of the ultra-small fleets commanded by these clones are deployed forward on the periphery of the fleet and used as sentry posts or guard fleets.

Even in normal times, this kind of fleet may be wiped out by the enemy's sudden attack anytime and anywhere. Their existence is to warn in advance to ensure that their main fleet will not be successfully attacked by the enemy.

However, as the commander of the fleet, Marshal of the Empire, receiving several similar telegrams every day still makes Genes feel depressed.

"It seems that the other party doesn't want to wait for a second." Genesis said with a sigh.

The adjutant who did not issue an order immediately asked softly: "So, Marshal, the transfer of the Zaku fleet...is it going to continue?"

Genesis nodded and said, "Continue, order Bakarov's 2nd Fleet to approach me, and Heidi Cannon's 11th Fleet to enter the Higgs theater!"

After finishing speaking, he continued to issue a series of orders: "Let Bourgeois lead the 10th Fleet to approach Higgs 4! I feel that the offensive that the other party will launch later may exceed our imagination."

The size of the fleet he is now mobilizing is already too large to imagine. Counting the 5th Fleet, almost half of the main fleet of the Ireland Hill Empire was assembled to the Higgs region.

For a transfer of this scale, it is not only the command and dispatch of the campaign that needs to be considered, it can even be said to be related to the national destiny of the Alan Hill Empire.

"Yes!" The adjutant swallowed a mouthful of saliva before replying.

Apparently, Genesis was also aware of the impact of mobilizing such a large fleet, and continued to order: "Send the information we got back to Alan Sirius! Copy to Chief of Staff Luo Kai! Send the troop transfer request to His Majesty, and wait for His Majesty's instructions before starting to execute!"

After he finished speaking, he paused slightly, and then continued: "We need more support, including a more complete and reliable model of the expansion of the number of enemy troops! This requires the calculation of professionals and equipment, which we cannot handle by ourselves. .”

Seemingly thinking of something again, he added: "Also, call the alert fleet near Taiyi to be careful and not to cause any problems!"

"Understood." The adjutant nodded again.

The cautious Genesis has tensed up his nerves now, and he said emphatically: "Taiyi is our real reliance. Only Taiyi can deal with the number of enemies at this level. Nothing can go wrong!"

"Yes!" The adjutant knew the importance of the matter, and immediately responded with a solemn salute.

Genesis looked at the universe outside the porthole, and he didn't know whether it was a whisper or an order: "Also, tell the rear that we need Zaku, 100,000, 200,000! Even 1 million Zaku!"

"..." The adjutant stood at attention, turned around and walked out of the bridge with a series of orders.
