Fourteen days later, border node, Vien Star System.
At this moment, Sera Empire's army is resting, but Basel is very cautious. He did not do what Kabart Empire did, but divided it into many batches to allow the fleet to maintain its combat capability to the greatest extent.
After all, in an interstellar war, anything can happen. As a qualified general, no matter what the situation, relaxing your vigilance is a major dereliction of duty!
It can be said that if an enemy comes to attack at this time, the combat effectiveness of the Sera Empire's army will not be affected too much.
In the orbit of Venn II, there is a 15-million-ton heavy battleship.
"Adjutant, how long will it take for the soldiers to complete their rest?"
"General Basel, according to the current progress estimate, it is estimated that the rest plan will be completed in ten days!"
"Very good, order the fleet not to relax its vigilance and be ready for battle at any time!"
"Yes, General Basel!"
Before United Fleet set out for Wien, Lin Fan, Liang Xingchen and Ailena had studied Sera Army, who currently occupies Wien.
The rigorous formation and cautious posture made the three of them understand that the opponent's commander must be a very experienced general. A sneak attack would most likely not achieve the desired results, and could even have the opposite effect if not careful.
After all, there are huge numbers there, and there are nearly 120,000 Level 4 Civilization battleships.
For Liang Xingchen and Lin Fan, what they want is not to win, but to win at the minimum cost.
Humanity's current population is limited to this, and it cannot withstand too much loss. They are no different than Io Federation. After losing a few legions, they can immediately gather enough people to rebuild these legions.
Therefore, the coalition forces directly gave up the option of sneak attacks, and instead adopted a combat method of luring the enemy deep into the enemy. Queen's Guard Legion performed a show and completely took advantage of the speed difference between the Sera Empire battleship and Babawi Empire Imported Warships to lure out the 120,000-shield battleship to encircle and annihilate it!
As mentioned before, Venn is one of the three nodes bordering Io Federation and Sera Empire. The two nodes next to it are Ordo and Fein.
According to the data transmitted back by the monitoring equipment, it can be found that Sera Army has not established defense lines at various Star Paths. It should be that its commander believes that it is safer to disperse the troops to various Star Paths than to gather them together.
After all, Wien has 6 Star Paths, and the strength in his hands is absolutely crushing to Io Federation.
Therefore, Basel does not want to give Io Federation any opportunity to take advantage of it because of the division of troops. If someone really attacks through Star Path, he only needs to lead an army to suppress it.
But this situation gave Lin Fan and others an opportunity to take advantage of!
At the Star Path exit of Venn and Ordo, the void shrank for a while, and then 3,000 warships appeared here.
This situation was captured by the Sera Army immediately!
"General Basel, Io Federation warships appeared at the Star Path exit in the direction of Ordo, the number is 3000!"
"Huh? Ordo direction?"
"Yes, General Basel... Information update, there are currently 3,000 more ships, 6,000 in number!"
Basel frowned, this situation was a bit unexpected.
Ordo is 5.6 light years away from Wien, and it takes nearly 2 years to travel to Star Path. Could it be that the fleet that set off from Ordo 2 years ago has just arrived now?
Is it a defense change mission? If they really set out 2 years ago, then they may not have received news of the fall of Wien yet. After all, it has only been more than a month.
No matter why you came, since you are here, there is no reason not to stay.
"Order all the soldiers on the planet to return to the battleship immediately. The fleet will attack in twenty minutes, direction Ordo Star Path."
"Yes, General Basel."
At the exit of Ordo direction Star Path, the rhythm is still maintained, with 3,000 warships appearing every half minute.
When Sera Army began to dispatch twenty minutes later, the number of Io Federation warships at the Star Path exit had reached 120,000. As if they had discovered that something was wrong, they began to hurriedly deploy in the direction of the Sera Empire army!
When Basel saw this situation, he breathed a sigh of relief.
It seems that the fleet really set off from Ordo a few years ago. It was bad luck and it happened to hit the fall of Wien when it arrived.
However, Sera Army is not close to Star Path in the direction of Ordo. It took a full hour for the fleet to attack Io Federation's fleet immediately.
More than thirty minutes later, the number of Io Federation's warships had reached 200,000. At this time, the entire fleet gave up its defensive formation and fled in the direction of Star Path, the direction of Aola (which is the direction of Bernice's retreat).
"General Basel, the opponent should have already sent out all Star Path, with a total number of 200,000. They are currently fleeing towards the entrance of Aola Star Path. They are expected to arrive at the entrance of Aola Star Path in forty minutes! According to the current marching speed of the fleet, there is no way to catch up!"
Listening to the adjutant's report, Basel frowned again.
He can understand the opponent's operation. After all, the Io Federation battleship is very fast and can reach a speed of 8,000 kilometers per second, which is similar to the battle speed of the Sera Empire.
Without knowing that we have the Royal Guards Corps (a regiment established by the Sera Empire using Babawi Empire's Imported Warships), this choice is quite normal. After all, normally, we cannot successfully catch up and intercept them.
However, with a nearly invincible Royal Guard Fleet in his hand, the situation is completely different. He can completely stop the opponent, and then attack them from both front and back to completely defeat them!
"Order Royal Guard Fleet to immediately start the engine, catch up, and stop them before they reach the entrance of Aola Star Path!"
"Yes, General Basel!"
After all, Royal Guard Fleet's battleship can reach a speed of 30,000 kilometers per second, so it is relatively easy to stop the opponent!
Soon, Royal Guard Fleet relied on its terrifying speed to throw away the main fleet behind it, and drove towards the entrance of Aola Star Path at high speed!
More than thirty minutes later, Royal Guard Fleet of the Sera Empire arrived at the predetermined location first, with the interception array arranged against the entrance of Aola Star Path! The route for the Io Federation fleet to enter Star Path was completely blocked.
At this moment, the fleet of Io Federation was less than 3 million kilometers away from the entrance of Star Path. However, this fleet did not immediately change its course and flee to other Star Path as Basel expected.
Instead, he fired at Royal Guard Fleet at the entrance of Star Path.
This made Basel a little confused. Did he want to rush in?
The more Basel thinks about it, the more likely it becomes.
