Walk alone in the abyss

[From the outbreak of the Battle of Xieluo: 24 Galaxy hours. 】

Near the star circle of the empire, the newly established "combat command center for combat against Luofeng" is located on the command ship Asalu.

The Imperial Guard 2.0 system has completed the framework compilation of the five battle clusters, and what needs to be done now is to fill the five battle clusters.

The commander of the 'crusade army' this time is General Akez, the admiral of the empire, and the honorary duke. He is already ninety-six years old and has rich experience in commanding battle formations.

Before the rise of Thomas, the "new cutting-edge" of the Imperial Army, Akez was the "old star" with the most outstanding military achievements in recent decades;

It is obviously a wise move to hand over the crusade against Luofeng to General Akez.

General Akiz has a little personal quirk.

He likes regularity and symmetry. He always puts the phrase "Symmetry can create beauty, and regularity can highlight civilization" to highlight that he likes some space operas.

Therefore, after building the command system of the Crusade Army, he returned to his lounge, looked at his square face in the mirror, shaved his neat eyebrows little by little, and thought about the next enemy.

Falling Wind Alliance.

If someone told Akz a few galaxies ago that the entire battle group of the empire would be eaten by people in less than two galaxies, then Akz would definitely give the person who spoke a loud and loud fight. .

The empire's battle group was not only formulated according to the upper limit of the command system, but also took into account various aspects.

When an entire battle group of the empire encounters an ambush, the empire will dispatch the fleet to support as quickly as possible;

Taking a step back, an entire battle group, two or three thousand main battleships, with the firepower of dreadnoughts, why can't they break through?

Akez believed that the millions of imperial soldiers on the annihilated combat group would not all be fools.

But the fact is that they failed to break through and failed to wait for the reinforcements sent by the empire.

There is only one situation - they must have encountered too strong firepower, were completely suppressed, and suffered huge losses in the first few rounds of firepower confrontation.

It can be seen from this that the Luofeng Alliance is an enemy that must not be underestimated.

Akez hummed a gentle melody.

He likes a decent opponent.

In the seventy-two years he has been in the army, he has experienced hundreds of battles, large and small, most of which are extremely boring and plundering resources. If the other party dares to resist, then destroy the other party's military facilities and capture a group of 'war criminals' to fill the empire's slavery needs.

The three expeditions to the New Federation became the stage for those young generals, and he just turned a few times around the edge of the stage;

He naturally participated in the whole process of fighting against the swarm of giant insects, but most of the time, he just stood behind the magical imperial guard system and watched how it mobilized the army.

——This is the basic quality necessary for the generals of the empire.

"General!"

Suddenly there was an angry shout from the side.

Akez's hand holding the tweezers did not shake at all, his eyeballs moved, and he saw the middle-aged officer through the mirror.

"speak."

"yes!"

A virtual screen was opened in front of the officer, and he made a report quickly:

"Currently! Four-fifths of our army has been assembled, the private fleet of the nobles has been reorganized smoothly, and some fleets of the nobles have not yet set sail. We have issued a reminder!

"The House of Elders has completed the docking with us, and then you have the right to completely command any personnel of all noble fleets!

"It should be noted that during this expedition, many commanders of private fleets are the owners of these fleets!"

Akez stopped moving and frowned slightly.

Oh, when he frowns, his forehead lines are always not completely symmetrical, which makes Akez quickly regain his calm expression.

"I hate politics.

"Go and vaccinate those noble gentlemen, and then my order must be completely obeyed, and the military department must send more gendarmerie to station these nobles' private fleets.

"At the same time, I will report to the military department that I will make a judgment based on the war situation that can achieve the greatest possible victory in the war, and will not care about the fleet that is sent forward.

"If these noble fleets lose the chain at a critical moment, I will not tolerate them at all."

"yes!"

The officer gave a military salute, then turned and ran away.

General Akez shook his head, hummed the tune again, and began to squeeze the blackheads that appeared on the tip of his nose. With this sense of ritual, his brain was spinning rapidly.

Is there any special arrangement for the Imperial Army to send so many nobles?

Could it be that they want these nobles to sacrifice more, so as to reduce the pressure in the country?

If so, it would be too happy.

Of course, Akz knew that these noble private ships would be uniformly deployed by the Emperor Guard 2.0 system. He only needed to issue tactical orders during wartime, and the Emperor Guard 2.0 would automatically adapt them.

Emperor Wei 2.0 is said to be an advanced version of the Emperor Wei system;

This system should be more powerful. After all, the Imperial Guard system is an antique tens of thousands of years ago, and the current empire cannot be more backward than the empire tens of thousands of years ago.

In this battle, he basically didn't have to spend too much thought, and he didn't have to worry about any political factors.

Defeat the enemies of the Empire and bring victory back to Sherman;

This is the only mission he has to accomplish.

...

[From the outbreak of the Battle of Sherlock: 16 galactic hours].

Yang Ming stretched his waist and walked out of the captain's lounge of a heavy battleship.

This heavy battleship numbered '0126' is somewhat special.

There are 3,000 crew members on it, all of them are highly simulated robots in human skin, and their cores are all mechanical thinking bodies born from the dark star; and this ship is commanded by a battleship group consisting mainly of 2,000 human crew members. ship.

In the ensuing war, it was obviously unwise for Dongfeng to show up.

——Before the Dongfeng shot, it was also mixed in the fleet, and it used three-dimensional camouflage images.

Yang Ming was wearing a loose military uniform and walking in the corridor. When the passing crew saw Yang Ming, they would stand upright by the side, performing the imperial military salute, and shouting "Father" from the bottom of their hearts.

"Commander has arrived at the bridge!"

Following the announcement by a gentle female voice, Yang Ming sat in the floating seat that floated over on his own initiative, and floated towards the captain's seat in the center of the spacious bridge.

Several rays intertwined to form the figure of Li.

"Boss, have you rested yet?"

"It's okay," Yang Ming asked, "How is the situation?"

Law immediately pulled out a simplified version of the star map, which was marked with densely packed ship icons.

"Currently, the empire has assembled five combat groups, with more than 13,600 combat ships and five dreadnought ships.

"There are also scattered private fleets of nobles who are constantly being added. It is estimated that the number of combat ships will reach more than 16,000. I am not sure if there will be a sixth dreadnought. The empire does not have any dreadnoughts under maintenance at this stage. There are eight ships that can be mobilized.

"It's worth mentioning that among the 16,000 warships, the regular army of the Sherman Empire is less than half."

Yang Ming was stunned for a moment: "Are they really playing like this? Is it true that the fleet of the nobles accounted for more than half of the empire's current assembled forces?"

"Yes, boss," Lu Du couldn't help laughing, "The empire wants to use us as a whetstone to suppress the power of the imperial aristocracy. Although I haven't found any evidence, it feels like Director Ino The moves that those people will make."

Yang Ming leaned back in the chair and fell into deep thought.

Lily asked, "What's the matter, boss?"

"Can the Luofeng Alliance's conventional military strength win this battle?"

"able!"

Law answered confidently:

"Boss, look... Our preset battlefield is here, inside the border of the Luofeng Alliance.

"The main reasons for choosing this place are, one is that this airspace has less gravitational interference, which is suitable for large army deployment and tactical maneuvers.

"Secondly, the entry of the empire's fleet into this airspace constitutes a substantial invasion, and we will occupy the right to speak in public opinion.

"Thirdly, in this airspace, we can bury some ambushes to outflank and harass the imperial fleet from the rear."

"Have you considered the reinforcements from Guell and the United States of Freedom?"

"Nothing," Li laughed, "Their soldiers will not shed blood in vain. The empire's second expedition to the New Federation has already explained everything. Only when we resist the pressure head-on and attract firepower, will they beat the dog in the water." possible."

Yang Ming thought about it carefully: "What is our estimated loss?"

"About six galaxy hours later, we will gather 70% of the total strength of the member states, which is almost all of our main force.

"There are more than 8,900 ships at the same level as the Sherman Empire's regular army. Our dreadnoughts, heavy battleships, and shield ships are absolutely inferior to the Sherman Empire.

"Our total number of ships will reach more than 13,000, of which more than 4,000 are ships with backward performance."

Law pondered a few times:

"Judging from the data on paper, we, who only have one dreadnought that is barely usable, are absolutely impossible to be the opponent of the Sherman Empire."

"Then?"

"I envision three plans, each of which requires us to expose different things and achieve different effects."

Law said softly:

"The first solution is to use drone swarm tactics.

"The general idea is to use Luofeng's conventional forces to confront the opponent from the front, and the drone swarm will outflank the opponent from the side and rear. I will adopt a decentralized layout to minimize the threat of the opponent's dreadnought ships.

"The plan estimates the loss, the loss of Luofeng's conventional military force is between 45% and 55%, and the loss of drones is about 20 million.

"The second option is to directly use our Dark Star fleet on the flanks to catch the Empire by surprise.

"The overall idea is to directly enhance our frontal combat strength, but the disadvantage is that these mysterious fleets will be exposed.

"The third option... I don't really recommend this, because this is our dark star's strategic force for self-protection, that is, those jumpable planetary guns. We only need to mobilize twelve jumpable planetary guns to let the Imperial Fleet know. What is the real technological development that brings innovation in combat power."

Yang Ming lowered his head in thought.

What Lily said was about the same as what he had predicted in his heart.

Yang Ming actually didn't rest well before, he was thinking about how to fight the next battle.

So far, everything has been according to his and Ritsu's plan.

The adjusted "Challenger" plan is divided into two parts in total. One part refers to the White Specter's challenge to the core power group of the Sherman Empire within the empire, and the other part refers to Luofeng, a former subsidiary country, to challenge the Sherman Empire. Challenged the hegemony of the Man Empire.

Now, they are already at a critical juncture in this plan.

Without unreasonable interference, their progress should not be too smooth.

The Edwan incident continues to ferment in human civilization throughout the galaxy, and Luofeng has gained justice;

Emilia succeeded to the throne, Luofeng restructured, Luofeng declared independence, and the Luofeng Alliance sent troops to ambush the expeditionary fleet of the Sherman Empire invading the New Auri Empire. This was Luofeng's revenge and a blow to the empire;

Now, the eyes of human civilization in the entire galaxy are focused on this place.

In the next battle, no matter how many casualties there are or how many losses there are, as long as the righteous Luofeng defeats the evil empire, he will be able to achieve the effect of "warrior slaying the dragon".

Not only can Luofeng get a substantial increase in international status, but it can also naturally gain enough voice in the anti-imperial camp. It can also boost the confidence of the people internally, and enhance the centripetal force and cohesion of the "big family" of the Luofeng Alliance. The Luofeng Alliance has become a true alliance-style government.

This is crucial to the development of Luofeng in the future.

If you lose... If you lose, the country will be destroyed.

Those arrogant and cruel descendants of Levi couldn't let Luofeng humiliate them one after another.

Yang Ming sighed lightly: "It's not safe."

"Boss, what did you say is not safe?"

The law is a little unclear.

"The power we prepared is not very safe," Yang Ming said in a deep voice, "Actually, there is no need to hide it anymore. Reason knows the existence of the Dark Star, so when Levi wakes up, his authority is beyond reason. We can definitely read this part of the information."

Li pursed his lips slightly, thinking carefully.

Yang Ming said: "I understand you, Xiaoli. What you want is to keep more hole cards and use them against Levi. You always have only one enemy in your eyes, and that is Levi and Li."

Law nodded slightly: "Boss, I must calculate every detail for your final victory."

"Lü, the final victory must be ours," Yang Ming said solemnly, "The Faya people are on our side."

Law's gaze was somewhat hesitant.

She doesn't trust the Fayans.

Yang Ming smiled and said, "What is the latest task that the Faya people have given us?"

"Kill Levi."

"How to kill Levy?" Yang Ming asked, "The technology given by the Faya people is to let me use the virtual thinking body technology to enter the city of light, to assassinate or use other methods to defeat Levi head-on, right?"

"Yes boss."

"Faya people stand in a high-dimensional world and look down on us. In their eyes, our future is just a page that can be seen by flipping at will.

"Having been dealing with the Faya people for so long, haven't you found out yet?

"The choice they make must be the most likely future; if this future does not meet their expectations, they will intervene to varying degrees.

"It's like when I was about to kill Po Sao, they showed up in a hurry."

Yang Ming changed the topic:

"We have to admit that the Faya people have countless ways to erase Levi. They can create a little energy disturbance in the high-dimensional world at will, and they can make the emperor star disappear with a bang.

"And now, the Faya people have handed over this job to me.

"This shows that getting rid of Levi is only a small matter for them, which shows that Levi's interference in the future is extremely limited.

"From this point of view, why should we be so afraid of Levi?"

Law nodded slowly: "Boss, I probably understand what you said... we want to wipe out these five battle clusters, right?"

"No, no, that would make the empire desperate."

Yang Ming smiled:

"What I mean is that Luofeng's own war potential is far inferior to that of the empire. It is very important that we not lose too many human soldiers.

"In this way, we will mobilize six planetary cannons that can jump, and focus on the use of drone swarm capture technology.

"We are the most advanced in the galaxy in terms of shield interference technology and transformable robots, why not use them?"

Law breathed a sigh of relief: "Fortunately, you didn't say that I must mobilize all the dark star fleets to wipe out these five battle clusters... Alright boss, I'm getting ready, I can't wait to see the imperial officers see our planetary artillery Time's expression."

Yang Ming was a little powerless to complain.

Ritsu is good at everything, but she is a mechanical thinking body, and she doesn't care much about human life.

This is also good, there will be no women's benevolence to affect the direction of the war.

War does not require sympathy.

[Distance from the outbreak of the Battle of Xieluo: 7 Galaxy hours. 】

Revel looked at the transfer order in front of him, and leaned on the seat in an irritable mood;

After Revell nodded, the staff officer sent by the Imperial Army began to execute the transfer order.
