Galactic System, Vita Defense Line.
A full month has passed since the last Vita offensive and defensive battle.
Spanning a full light-year distance, no starry sky can be seen now, and the entire void has been squeezed out by the Zerg without any spare space.
It was only then that Liang Xue realized that the previous report that it was ten thousand times the size of the Milky Way Zerg was definitely wrong, and it was outrageously wrong!
Since the Zerg began to attack the defense line again half a month ago, the entire battlefield has not stopped for even a second.
Fortunately, with the existence of the Federation, it has a crushing advantage over these ordinary insect swarms, so that the insect swarms never get within 1AU of the defense line.
In addition, all the defenders can take turns to rest, and will not fight continuously without interruption like the previous first offensive and defensive battle, preventing the soldiers from being greatly reduced in combat effectiveness due to excessive fatigue.
At the rear, in addition to continuing to organize the evacuation through the space migration channel opened by Wei, the Three-Eyed Empire has now joined in. A large number of military and civilian ships continue to rely on hyperspace technology to travel back and forth between the Gal Galaxy and the Andromeda Galaxy, speeding up the entire evacuation by at least three times.
The evacuation plan that originally took more than a year can now be completed in just three months.
It seems that everything is going in a good direction, but Lin Fan doesn't think so. At this moment, he is presiding over a combat meeting.
"The Zerg attack has been going on for a month, and according to our detection, the entire light-year range in front of Vita Defense Line is already filled with swarms of Zerg, and they are all heading towards our location!"
"Do you have any thoughts on this situation?"
As he said that, Lin Fan looked at the dozen people below. Among them were the five cluster commanders who had followed him to Galactic System, as well as the former high-ranking generals of the Three-Eyed Empire Vita Defense Line.
Although he already had a certain idea in his heart, Lin Fan still wanted to find out if his subordinates had any ideas!
This can be regarded as an assessment, but at the same time, it can also be regarded as a brainstorming session. After all, Lin Fan is not a god, so there is no guarantee that nothing has been missed.
"Marshal, I think this Zerg attack is very strange!"
Among the generals, the first one to speak was Lin Fan's most capable general, Li Cangqiong.
He is no longer the outstanding mecha master he once was, let alone the fledgling Fleet Commander. Today, he is already the commander of a huge galaxy-level cluster, the Federation's Two-Star General, and has participated in almost all Federation wars!
"It's been half a month. The Zerg should have fully understood that as long as we are here, they can't get close to Vita Defense Line. However, they are still attacking, as if they want to send all the Zerg in the entire galaxy group to us, waiting for our execution!"
"I think this is very abnormal, unless the commander of the Zerg is a creature with low intelligence and can only rely on instinct to act. However, it is obvious that the Overlord Insect is not such a creature. On the contrary, based on our past experience, the Overlord Insect is definitely a highly intelligent life form and will not make such brainless commands!"
"So I judge that the current actions of the Zerg should have other purposes, one that is based on defeating us. We must be more cautious!"
Lin Fan nodded. Although Li Cangqiong did not think further than himself, the basic idea was consistent with his own.
I believe that as long as he is given some more time, he will definitely figure out the other problems.
"Marshal Lin Fan, I also have some ideas, I wonder if I can share them."
Just as everyone was pondering what Li Cangqiong said, Mu's voice sounded in the combat conference room.
Although the two civilizations have not officially completed the integration, Lin Fan already treats the generals of the Three-Eyed Empire as one of its own and will not behave differently.
"Of course, Mu Grand Marshal please say it!"
Lin Fan nodded.
"Well, that's it. Everyone should know that based on the information we obtained from the previously captured Tier 3 Queen Bug, the top Zerg commander who attacked Mels Star Cluster should be a Tier 1 Queen Bug."
"However, after nearly a hundred years of war, we have never seen this king insect appear. In fact, let alone Tier 1 Queen Bug, so far, we have not even seen Tier 2 Queen Bug!"
"It's embarrassing to say that, maybe in the eyes of the Zerg, just Tier 3 Queen Bug is enough to deal with us, so the first and second level king bugs don't need to play in person at all."
"But the situation is different now. At the moment when all Tier 3 Queen Bug are killed, if the Zerg want to regain the initiative on the battlefield, they should use more powerful force. Instead of this, not even a king insect appears, and they just rely on the ordinary insect swarms to continuously carry out suicidal attacks!"
"Therefore, I'm wondering if that Tier 1 Queen Bug, after seeing the Federation's combat power, thought it couldn't win even if it played on its own, so it used ordinary insect swarms like cannon fodder to continuously attack the defense line and completely pin us down!"
"And its purpose is probably to wait for an opportunity to defeat us, and this opportunity will take time, for example, a more powerful existence support than Tier 1 Queen Bug?"
Lin Fan looked at Mu with some surprise. He really didn't expect that Mu could think of this level.
After all, in the past half month, Mu has always felt like Liang Xingchen, the kind of general who prefers conventional tactics, doesn't like taking risks, and is a bit rigid.
This is not to say that such generals are not good. It should be said that in many situations, such generals are more useful. However, this type of generals have a common problem, that is, they only use conventional thinking to think about the enemy.
This is why Lin Fan was surprised.
In fact, Lin Fan was really wrong about Mu. The reason why Mu's command style has been so close to that of Liang Xingchen over the years is mainly because he is responsible for the fate of the entire empire and does not allow him to take any risky actions, not because he is really conservative in his tactical thinking!
"Mu Grand Marshal and I have completely the same views. As for this opportunity, I think it is very likely that it is the Insect Emperor!"
Seeing that all the generals below, especially the federal generals, except Fujiwara Ayako, were all surprised by Mu's words, Lin Fan sighed slightly in his heart.
Except for a few generals with outstanding talents, the others have indeed fought too few battles and have too little experience.
Thinking about it, the number of wars that the entire federation's top generals have participated in can be counted with two hands, and most of them can even count it with just one hand.
Moreover, these are all wars based on the crushing of technology. They have not even encountered an opponent of comparable strength. How can they gain a lot of experience?
He stood up, looked around at all the generals below, and Lin Fan revealed his plan.
