Chapter 925: Final Appearance
The United Front acted quickly as soon as they said it. Their garrison fleet was not far from the Star Empire, so they were directly mobilized there.
Rays of light shuttled through the jump channel. The fleets of seventeen civilizations had different appearances. A large number of soldiers stood on the deck, eager to try.
MacKenzie was sitting in the main ship, with a comprehensive analysis chart of various data in front of him. He had sharp eyes and a powerful aura.
He wants to let this young civilization know the vastness of the universe!
When he thought of the other party's response to him, his eyes were still filled with unquenchable anger.
…
A huge space fortress is suspended in the universe, with jump base stations distributed around it. From time to time, passages open and close, and fleets of ships fly out.
Pro Fortress is a gathering fortress located in the heart of the Star Empire.
In order to fight against the United Front's garrison fleet, the Star Empire made sufficient preparations and adopted a very unique strategy.
They simply gave up the outer defense and fighting, as if they had gathered all their strength and were not prepared to rely on the home advantage to engage in a long tug-of-war.
It's like preparing for a battle to determine the outcome!
At this moment, in the top-floor conference room of Pro Fortress, countless people gathered together with solemn expressions.
Not only the commanders of various fleets, the commanders of the colonial fleet, the high-ranking officials of the Star Empire, Lloyd, and even the golden armor - King Dal are all here.
A three-dimensional projection of a strategic star map floats above the table.
"According to the report from the front, the United Front's garrison fleet is advancing deeper and deeper, and is expected to reach the outermost defense circle in half a month. We are ready to fight."
The person in charge of commanding this battle was Loren, who had disappeared for a long time.
When Leman ruled the Star Empire, he conducted a purge of the top leaders, and Loren was among them.
But he was smart and survived. Now the middle class of the Star Empire is in decline, and countless high-ranking officials have fled.
Only Loren has enough experience to command this war.
As he spoke, he operated the star map, zoomed in on a certain area, and marked each location in red, representing the areas that might be hit by the first wave of impact.
Although the United Front had a great advantage on paper, it did not act rashly.
They were divided into a large number of vanguard teams, advancing in different arcs, and finally heading towards the capital of the Star Empire from different directions.
"We have long had the idea of fighting to the death, so let's just fight."
"That's right, the Empire cannot be insulted!"
"Just follow the established strategy, and when they actually break in, we can adjust accordingly."
Many officers spoke up, eager to fight.
Although many high-level officials ran away, those who stayed behind loved and were more loyal to the Star Empire and were willing to die for it.
Loren sighed secretly and said, "Emperor, the strength of the United Front's garrison fleet is far stronger than ours. Although there are not many garrison fleets, each one is the elite of their civilization."
"But the most troublesome thing is that the commanders of each garrison fleet are at the level of super life forms. I'm afraid it will be difficult for us to deal with them."
He looked at Lloyd, trying to get some expression on the young Emperor's face.
"Oh..." Lloyd nodded, looking a little lazy.
oh?
What's your reaction?
Loren was a little speechless. Considering the reaction of the army, he looked around and said, "Everyone else, leave here and wait for orders. The Emperor and I have some secrets to discuss."
Others did not doubt it and left one after another.
"Emperor, you asked me to preside over this war, but you didn't tell me the truth. Don't you trust me?" Loren's eyes were dim.
He was a smart man, and he had noticed a lot of things wrong since Lloyd asked him to come out of retirement.
Lloyd didn't seem to take the war seriously, but based on his understanding of the other party, this attitude didn't seem like he was giving up, but rather seemed to have something on his mind.
"Mr. Loren is still so smart..." Lloyd was stunned for a moment, but he was not surprised. He said casually: "In this case, why don't you guess what the truth is?"
"Dragon Lord!" Loren spat out the two words without hesitation.
"Great." Lloyd laughed.
However, the golden armor beside him frowned slightly: "So you rely on him."
"You didn't guess it?" Lloyd was a little surprised.
"No, I thought you missed your father and wanted to go and be with him." The answer from the man in golden armor was concise and to the point.
" Ha...ha..." Lloyd smiled with a forced smile.
"Your Excellency Long Zun should be able to see that this united front is just a bait." Loren frowned: "His real enemy is the five major civilizations."
"You don't have to worry about this. Success or failure is not something we can decide. We just need to build the stage." Lloyd shook his head.
Loren couldn't help but sigh: "Why should I be the commander of this meaningless war?"
"You have nothing to do anyway, so why not just do the whole show?" Lloyd's explanation made Loren laugh and cry.
…
The atmosphere in the Star Empire is filled with panic, and the authorities have issued an evacuation guide.
It even allows garrisons in major galaxies, and any choices made in critical moments and with the main purpose of protecting citizens will not be held accountable.
What I mean is, it’s okay even if you surrender, just don’t die.
This made the citizens of the empire, who had enjoyed peace for a long time, completely panicked and they didn't know how to respond.
Those who fled fled, and those who prayed prayed.
On the holographic projection hanging on the wall, Li Yu’s majestic figure looked down at the citizens below.
They were lowering their heads, muttering to themselves, hoping that Dragon Lord could bless them to get through this difficult time.
"Mom...the incense is out of battery!" The young child suddenly pointed at the curling incense sticks on the table, only to see them become blurry and distorted.
"Go get the button battery..." the old woman said immediately, and hurriedly prayed: "Dragon Lord, please don't blame me..."
Half a month passed in a flash, and the United Front had no interest in those ordinary galaxies. They were not there to invade, but for Lloyd.
Cleaning up the average galaxies would be a waste of their time.
The united front came from different directions, but was blocked by the defense line outside the capital of the Star Empire.
Some observation ships from various civilizations and forces were broadcasting the battlefield in real time from a long distance.
The two sides did not engage in battle at the first moment, but instead formed a standoff.
Compared with the huge army of the Star Empire, the garrison fleet of the United Front has only a mere 100,000 soldiers, and it seems that there is a huge gap in strength between the two sides.
But in reality, no one who knows the real situation would think so.
…
Behind MacKenzie, there are eighteen floating screens, each of which corresponds to a civilization leader, who seems to be supervising the battle.
Although they considered it to be just a small-scale war, it was the first war since the establishment of the United Front and was of great significance.
"We have surrounded the target, but the enemy's warships are huge in scale and number. If we force our way in, we will probably suffer considerable losses," said Mackenzie.
"Let them hand over that emperor. We can support a puppet and make this Star Empire our base." A head of civilization suggested.
"Anyway, the Great Cosmic Alliance doesn't seem to have much interest ."
"That's right. Every interstellar human is an excellent experimental material. It would be a waste to kill them all." Another person echoed, speaking in a condescending tone: "Just execute the emperor in public."
"Looking at their attitude, it's unlikely that they won't fight. Let's just use the decapitation tactic. Our fleet is very precious, and we can't afford to lose even a single one."
They were discussing freely here, thinking about how to divide up the Star Empire .
They are already very familiar with this process, as each of their civilizations has repeated it countless times during its rise.
Only the Kabbalah leader remained silent and even looked at them with a strange look.
"Head of Kabbalah, don't you have any suggestions?" someone suddenly asked.
"No, there are no one from me in this garrison fleet. There is no need to talk." Head Kabala shook his head.
This has caused dissatisfaction among some people, and Head of Kabala now rarely participates in the internal affairs of the United Front.
Moreover, the look in the eyes of the Kabbalah leader now made them feel very uncomfortable, like pity?
Leader Kabala remained silent. He had long understood that this war was full of problems.
The relationship between Long Zun and the Star Empire is not at all what the Great Cosmic Alliance promotes.
The United Front was used as a pawn and was doomed to a bad end.
It can even be said that the reaction of the Star Empire is very interesting, as if it is deliberately inducing the United Front to take action.
But he did not remind them because he had been marginalized by the United Front and could only gain limited benefits from it, so there was no need to get involved.
With the large amount of technology they had previously acquired, they took their research on the Tree of Kabbalah to the next level.
As long as the coordinates are not leaked and we stay hidden for a while, we can become a powerful civilization at the same level as the five major civilizations.
Only then will Kabaka truly rise.
If they alerted the United Front and offended Long Zun, and their coordinates were leaked, it would be a waste of time and effort.
MacKenzie received specific instructions and did not hesitate to negotiate directly with the Star Empire, demanding the handover of Lloyd, otherwise he would attack directly.
Seventeen super life forms stood in front of the garrison fleet. The fleet of the Star Empire covered the entire star field like a wave, with almost no end in sight and even more difficult to count.
But the extraordinary individual power is enough to penetrate this wave.
Seventeen super life forms can directly break into the core area and complete the decapitation when most warships are unable to react.
…
On the side of the Star Empire, seventeen figures like stars were reflected in the pupils of the soldiers. Their lips were tightly clenched and they subconsciously clenched the energy rifles in their hands.
The officers looked even more nervous. They knew more and knew what life forms of this level meant.
I also know what it means when the number reaches this scale.
"They are here. Where is Long Zun?" Loren looked at the screen and said slowly, "He won't wait until we fight to the very end and run out of ammunition and food before appearing as a savior, right?"
Lloyd's expression changed slightly, and he shook his head, "He shouldn't be so vulgar."
Although he said this, he had already lost some confidence in his heart.
Li Yu, you're not really planning this, are you?
"I've told you long ago that outsiders are unreliable." The man in golden armor snorted coldly, drew out the golden mechanical sword from his waist, and prepared to fight the enemy.
Seeing that the countdown was over and there was still no reaction from the Star Empire, MacKenzie issued the order without hesitation.
"Charge! Tear everything in sight to pieces!"
He was also among the seventeen people, shining like a star, stretching as far as the eye can see, and quickly approaching the camp of the Star Empire.
And at this moment, all communication signals and information waves in the area were distorted instantly at the same time.
The specific form of this is that all the screens detected a high-energy explosion point at the same time after blurring for a moment.
The location is right in front of the imperial defense line facing the seventeen super life forms.
The radar was locked, and at this moment, an interstellar human appeared on countless screens at the same time.
"Ha, here it comes!" Lloyd stood up suddenly, clenched his fists involuntarily, and looked somewhat excited.
After so many years of hard work, he has long since mastered the ability to keep his emotions hidden, but in this situation, it would be a lie to say he wasn't excited.
Loren let out a long sigh, his expression looking a little complicated.
"Long Zun, it's Lord Long Zun!"
"I told you that Lord Long Zun would never give up on us!"
On the warships of the Star Empire, many soldiers cheered, sweeping away their previous gloom and anxiety.
Dragon Lord is their backbone!
Mackenzie and seventeen others suddenly stopped and looked at the figure that suddenly appeared in front of them in surprise and doubt.
They had never had direct contact with Dragon Lord. The only contact between the Great Cosmic Alliance and the United Front was after the Protoss High Priest was killed.
This was the first time they had seen someone who had defeated the Great Cosmic Alliance.
