Chapter 1668: Decline
Digital Phantom won the sixth battle. Considering the special nature of this battle, they felt that the cooperation could come to an end.
The ambush of four division-level ships failed to kill one of the infiltrating small fleets. Who would dare to make another rash calculation?
The soldiers of the Empire also knew that it would be embarrassing to pester Digital Phantom after such a victory.
So they left the slightly injured division-level ship to the other party, "This... your space equipment is very large and convenient to carry."
"Okay," the fourth boss did not hesitate at all. In the activities of the Federation, it is indeed more convenient to have some warships of the country.
"By the way, our team has also prepared some gifts... for you!"
Hearing that Digital Phantom gave them gifts, the officers and soldiers on the regiment-level ship were instantly excited.
It's really not that they want to take advantage of anything, but... the gifts given by Digital Phantom make people look forward to it.
For such a large team, can the gifts they can show be bad?
Let's take a step back and say that even if it's a little worse, it doesn't matter.
Who in the entire empire has received a gift from Digital Phantom?
Even just for this point, it is worth bragging about.
However, when the regiment-level ship actually received the gift, it was still a little confused, "Is this... maintenance equipment?"
Please figure it out. We came to the Federation to harass. What does it mean to send a maintenance equipment?
The fleet brought a lot of simple maintenance equipment. Not only is it redundant for you to send this, but... isn't this a curse?
The regiment-level ship of Digital Phantom replied, "A set of simple spraying equipment."
"We authorize the four regiment-level ships participating in this harassment to temporarily spray the Digital Phantom's paint... It's temporary!"
It's just a paint job... The soldiers of the Empire are even less motivated. We dare to pretend to be the Federation's paint job. Is it rare?
But the next moment, they were shocked, "Damn, can I spray the Digital Phantom's paint job?"
Other companies' paint jobs are fine, but Digital Phantom... Anyway, no one in the Empire has the courage to do this.
Many people have heard about how miserable the fate of those who pretended to be them to mine energy stone is.
"That's right," the other party said lightly, "Try to take care of yourself... Remember, it's only temporary."
"Temporary is enough," the soldiers said without hesitation, "Thank you for the authorization!"
"Nothing, it's all for the empire," the Digital Phantom's regiment-level ship just replied, and then disappeared into the depths of space.
The military's regiment-level ship did not respond for a long time, only the mechanical arm, tightly grasping the equipment.
After a long time, a sigh came out, "Just borrowing a name to go out, it's a great face... Who doesn't want such a life?"
"Boss, you think too much, that's the Digital Phantom, we spend our whole lives chasing them, and at most we can only see their backs."
"Bullshit, what are you talking about? In two days, I will also be a Digital Phantom..."
At the same time, Qu Jianlei and others were also discussing, "Go to Hermus, or go to Link Nebula?"
Link Nebula is where they fought Asura last time.
According to the confession of the captives, the expansion of Asura in the Federation is far less rapid than that of the alien Lin Hai in the Alliance.
There are many related factors, but the most important one is: Asura's fighting style is far less weird than that of the alien Lin Hai!
Asura individuals are very strong, and the defense and attack of the nest are also very strong, but the means are relatively simple.
There is no cutting of space fluctuations, the corrosiveness of energy is not very strong, and there is no means of spore parasitism...
In the Age of Discovery, such opponents can be said to be a headache, but it may not make people give up the idea of resistance.
In the final analysis, Asura is strong, but in terms of quantity, there is no advantage.
What is the Age of Discovery? In addition to technology, it is quantity!
In fact, in the historical process of human society, quantity is also a crucial factor!
A large number of people will cause a shortage of survival materials, and this scarcity, this survival need, is the driving force for outward expansion.
Similarly, after occupying a place, how to consolidate the rule? Population advantage is also the biggest reliance, no one!
These are far-fetched, but what is certain is that although the Asuras are powerful in single combat, their number is too small!
In addition, their means are not so strange, so it is not difficult for the Federation to deal with them.
In comparison, those inexplicable bats, which are the companion species of Asuras, are more troublesome for the Federation.
The reason is that there are too many bats and they grow rapidly!
So at present, although the Federation is also retreating step by step in the battle with aliens, it is relatively methodical.
They did not suffer a big defeat like Sihe Star or Baozhi Star, but retreated little by little.
It's just that there is no deadline for this retreat.
But there is no doubt that the Federation has summed up a set of rules for dealing with Asuras, and the future is promising.
The Alliance has no clues and no effective countermeasures for dealing with the locust world so far.
Although the two are allies, they are indeed completely different!
After discussing, everyone decided to go to the Federation to find out the news first.
The prisoners of war did provide a lot of information, but it may not be more than the information in society.
The key point is that those prisoners of war were guarding the meat grinder line. They had not been replaced for two or three years, so the information would naturally be outdated.
The task of guarding the warship still fell on Bentley, who was not very interested in traveling to a foreign country.
Then Qu Jianlei began to consider which planet to teleport to.
In the Federation, they still set up several teleportation arrays.
However, he found that two of the three teleportation arrays on Yongxing Star did not respond.
There is only one possibility for this situation-the teleportation array was destroyed.
"Oh my..." He was a little surprised, "What happened there?"
Jing Yuexin reminded him, "That is the military star of the Jinyang Star Region, and the inspection is very strict."
"I have an impression," Qu Jianlei frowned and nodded, "I just want to know, is it self-destructed or discovered?"
Two of the three teleportation arrays were damaged, and there was still one that could be used. It shouldn't be a big deal to send a clone to investigate first.
With Jing Yuexin and Duogan's successful tribulation, the high-level members of the team basically cultivated their own clones.
Even Duogan, who had just passed the tribulation, cultivated a clone.
However, Mrs. Jia thought that for safety reasons, it was not appropriate to go to Yongxing for the time being. "What if we were ambushed?"
After discussing it, everyone decided to go to Tres in the Valencia star field.
The teleportation array of Tres was intact. When everyone appeared in the mountains, it was dark.
The teleportation array was very close to the city. Looking at the lights in the city ahead, Claire exclaimed.
"Why does it feel... not particularly prosperous?"
Jing Yuexin whispered softly, "It was much more lively when I came last time."
Then everyone dispersed and left, blending into the vast night.
In the evening of the next day, everyone met in a park again, scattered in two picnic shops, and communicated with their minds.
The liveliness of Tres is indeed not as good as before, mainly because the federal government is now financially tight.
Whether it is a state-owned or private enterprise, the operating rate is not very sufficient, and the phenomenon of wage arrears is everywhere.
The reason is that the pressure of fighting on two fronts is too great, which has led to a tight federal finance.
Their battle with the Empire not only consumed a large number of lives, but also consumed a huge amount of war materials.
However, compared with the battles of the alien races, the battles on this front are child's play.
The Link Nebula has an endless stream of Asuras, which are spreading wildly to the surrounding areas.
The Federation's defense is very determined and has been guarding it tightly.
However, it is really impossible to win. The Asuras are fearless and powerful, and the Federation army is retreating step by step.
The good thing is that the Asuras' methods are not too weird, and the Federation has also dealt a heavy blow to the other side.
Up to now, the Federation and the Asuras have also fought a real fire.
The other side is desperate to attack and almost does not consider the losses. The Federation is desperate to defend, and the demand for war materials is almost endless.
The military industry and related enterprises are working around the clock, but the profits are falling sharply-Guojia has no money.
Other enterprises are becoming more and more withered-if they can't make money, who will consume?
The fourth boss couldn't help but sigh, "Fighting two wars at the same time, both of which are so tragic... you are really stubborn!"
"I can't stop," Jing Yuexin said lightly, and then looked at Qu Jianlei, "Do you want to find Tony?"
"Forget it," Qu Jianlei shook his head. He was impressed by the military instructor. At that time, the other party thought he was a separatist force.
Although the situation of the Federation is difficult, most people are still gritting their teeth and holding on. There is no decline like the Alliance.
The probability of expecting a traitor in the military is relatively low, so why bother to do that useless work?
"The blockade of specific information here is also relatively strict," Hua Xiezi said in a deep voice, "I didn't find any topic about us."
Regarding the invasion of Asura, the Federation did not hide it and would update a lot of news in time.
There is really nothing that cannot be said about the war with alien races-in a racial war, even if you want to be a deserter, there is no chance.
Regarding the news of the meat grinder, the Federation did not report too much, and it was selected and reported, mostly reporting good news but not bad news.
Even the latest infiltration fleet of the Empire was reported by the Federation as "a small group of remnant enemy troops appeared".
As for the information about the Digital Phantom, it does not exist at all. You have to know that they have fought many tough battles in the past three months.
"Let's go to Hesmus," Qu Jianlei made a decision, "where there are many people, it is easier to get information."
To go to Hesmus, Xizhao has to go out and build a teleportation array first.
Xizhao said that we are now in large numbers and have so many Yuanying, so we can just sneak into the cargo hold, what are we afraid of?
Even if someone checks, can't we just interfere with the spirit?
This makes sense. The confidence of the team is really growing day by day.
(I am almost dying. I will continue to update. Feng Xiao is so desperate. I will call for monthly tickets, follow-up subscriptions and recommendation tickets.)
