There is no need for any preparation period at all. The two major alliances have been at odds with each other for five years because of what happened last time Orion Arm.
Speaking of which, the distance between First Main Arm and the fourth main cantilever arm is the closest. Of course, this refers to the part close to the center of Milky Way.
Since Milky Way is made up of four main cantilever arms in a spiral shape, starting from the center of Milky Way and expanding outwards, the farther the distance between the cantilever arms, the farther back it is.
In addition, the non-spiral arm area away from the central zone of Milky Way is basically Starless Belt, and the space is very unstable, so crossing requires a great risk.
Therefore, between Four Major Spiral Arms, everyone travels through the channel close to the center of Milky Way.
Similarly, in the central zone of Milky Way, the channel between First Main Arm and the fourth main spiral arm has become a confrontation point where the two major civilizations have accumulated heavy troops.
After Verto left the Big Four Virtual Meeting Room, he immediately issued an order for a full-scale attack.
At the confrontation point, Vera Alliance's 200 billion warships immediately moved into action, formed one attack formation after another, and rushed towards the Freedom Alliance's position.
Soon, a shocking battle began!
Of course, this does not mean that the Vera Alliance side only has 30 billion warships. The actual situation is that Vera Alliance has deployed 120 billion heavy troops at the confrontation point, but the channel is so wide that even 20 billion warships have completely filled the entire channel.
Seeing that Vera Alliance started to attack, Freedom Alliance did not dare to show weakness and also sent 20 billion warships to meet them.
For a time, energy bombs and beams filled the entire channel, but the warships on both sides were at least Level 4 Civilization battleships, and at worst they were Level 4 Civilization's mid-to-late-stage strength, because this channel battle lasted for eight years every ten years, and there would be no result at all.
Orion Arm, Babawi Empire.
In the palace, Babareya was shocked when he got the news. He didn't expect that his big brother would be so aggressive for the Babawi Empire, and he would directly go to war with the Freedom Alliance.
But what he didn't know was that if it was just about the Babawi Empire, the relationship between the two parties would at best deteriorate and there would be a confrontation, and there would be no chance of a big fight.
The real reason why Verto decided to go to war, but his own trade hub was attacked by Sephira Consortium. Although it has some relationship with the Babawi Empire, it really has little relationship.
Similarly, more than 20,000 light-years away, the Earth.
Lin Zhen and Ed are also watching the members of the Xio Alliance communicating.
"It's a fight, it's a fight! It starts with 20 billion versus 20 billion!" [Blue Eyes Civilization-Chris]
"Can anyone provide a live broadcast from a close range?" [Derek Empire-Andre]
"You are overthinking. The entire Fourth Channel has been occupied by warships from both sides, and they will not let you in to observe!" [Verner Union-Ivan]
"Stop arguing, it's just a bunch of Level 4 Civilization fighting each other during this period. There's nothing to talk about. We have to wait until the two Level 5 Civilizations, Vera Federation and Sephira Consortium, take action!" [Black Light Empire-Oleg]
"Okay, although this war has nothing to do with us, we still need to set up defenses on Galactic Core Channel to prevent the war from burning into our second spiral arm! Later I will publish the number of warships required by each civilization in the terminal!" [Xitria Empire-Leader Xis]
Seeing this, Lin Zhen and Ed realized for the first time what the war between the four overlords Milky Way was like.
The early exploratory attack alone was on a scale of 20 billion versus 20 billion. The number of warships alone is already twice the human population, okay?
This is because the main force has not been dispatched, it is just a tentative attack and defense in the early stage by both sides.
"Ed, I think it's time for us to acquire all this side of Orion Arm and Starless Belt."
After being surprised, Lin Zhen looked at Ed and said seriously.
"Shanhai Pass has Lin Fan supporting me. I feel relieved. As for Orion Arm's Minor Arm, it's really time to unify and let Liang Xingchen take action!"
Ed thought for a while, now Interstellar Great Wall Plan has been completed, and the only channel on the front line is guarded by Lin Fan.
To be honest, Babawi Empire is really not that big a threat to Human Federation now, but if humans want to attack, they are not strong enough.
Since the entire Orion Arm cannot be captured yet, let's unify half of Orion Arm's Minor Arm first, and then develop it for decades.
"Well, now Liang Xingchen already has three legions in his hands. He hasn't moved since he killed Sera Empire last time! It's not okay to stay still. In addition, let's communicate with Io Federation. After all, it will take decades to conquer a territory of more than 10,000 light-years with only three legions!"
"Okay, I'll go communicate with Aierfei, there should be no problem!"
You must know that after Io Federation won Sera Empire five years ago, it has been gradually developed, and it is time to continue to expand its territory.
"By the way, some of the affiliated civilizations on Loulan Sector have already developed fleet-sized combat capabilities. Issue missions to them and let them act together. We need speed!"
Lin Zhen added something after thinking for a while.
The dozens of affiliated civilizations on Loulan Sector are now very comfortable in the past five years. The territory of each civilization has expanded to dozens or even hundreds of Star System.
With the support of the federation, several civilizations have been promoted to Level 3 Civilization. After all, the federation has opened the exchange for all technical data of Level 3 Civilization to them, and even the redemption points are directly discounted at 50%.
As a result, several civilizations that were in the late stage of the second level were able to break through to Level 3 Civilization within the past five years.
Of course, the biggest change is in the fleet combat effectiveness of these civilizations. Under the conscious guidance of the Federation, these civilizations have more or less purchased many of the Federation's fourth-level battleships, or individually purchased a large number of Energy Shield and Warp Drive Engine.
Therefore, among the dozens of affiliated civilizations, the weakest one now has an integrated fourth-level fleet, and the strongest ones already have several.
Now Human Federation has enough productivity, but there are not enough personnel to drive warships. Therefore, 80% of the warships built by humans over the years have been exchanged by these affiliated civilizations.
From here we can see how many battleships the current affiliated civilizations have together.
When Ed released the war mission on the affiliated civilization platform, all the affiliated civilizations became excited.
You must know that although these affiliated civilizations have built powerful fleets, they have no place to use them. They are surrounded by their own people who are also affiliated civilizations, and no one can fight each other. This is embarrassing.
But now that the Federation has issued war missions, the fleets of these affiliated civilizations finally have a place to use.
