Kepler Starfield, Administrative Star Rabi.
After layers of screening of the surrendered garrison fleet, although only 20% of them were finally usable, Lance once again gained a large number of troops.
Finally, after completing the reorganization, the scale of Rose Fleet increased to 3.8 billion warships in one go.
As for the additional one billion warships, they are still using warships provided by the Federation.
Unknowingly, Lance no longer looks down on the empire's battleships.
Even if Chris informed them, the Federation could help them solve the problem of the highest authority of the royal family!
At the same time, Lance also recruited a large number of civilians to join the army on Rabi Star.
However, these civilians are not like the soldiers that Lance reorganized from the surrendered garrison fleet before. They only need a little adaptive training before they can be used.
These civilians have not received any systematic military training. Even if they are being trained now, it will take at least several months for them to meet the actual combat requirements.
At this time, the latest information came from those members of Commoner Faction who were still hiding in various parts of the empire.
According to intelligence, the empire's top brass has issued a conquest order. The military will assemble three star fleets and a total of 30 billion warships to go to Kepler Star System where Rabi Star is located.
The estimated arrival time is about one month later.
If it were before, the three star fleets would definitely make Lance's scalp numb.
But now, he really doesn't take these three star fleets seriously!
After all, the Federation's warships are much stronger than the Empire's warships in terms of performance.
Even if it is 3.8 billion versus 30 billion, which is a numerical gap of almost one to ten, Lance is sure to win.
Not to mention that there is a big question mark as to whether the empire's fleets, under the command of noble commanders, can exert 20 to 30% of their combat power.
A month passed by in a flash.
After all, the Empire owns Spatial Teleportation Technology, although its Spatial Teleportation Technology is still very rudimentary. At the same time, due to energy problems, it cannot produce large-scale or even Super Star Gate like the Federation.
However, there is still no problem in relying on small and medium-sized star gates to sneak attack Rabi Star.
Lance doesn't want to have his nest stolen by them while fighting the imperial fleet on the front line.
Therefore, for the sake of safety, Lance requested assistance from Chris to help it defend Rabi Star during the war.
Regarding this request, Chris nodded and agreed without thinking at all.
After all, this is part of the agreement between the two parties, and the interests of the federation also need to support Lance as soon as possible. If necessary, Chris is even ready to take the initiative to speed up the process of Lance overthrowing the nobles.
——
Ten light years away from Keller, tens of billions of warships lie in the void.
Originally this should be a shocking scene, but anyone can see that although this fleet is large in size, the quality of its soldiers is very problematic!
Except for some of the fleets whose arrays are very neat, most of the fleets are a little crooked and not at all what a well-trained Interstellar Fleet should look like.
In the bridge of one of the Titan-class battleships, more than a dozen richly dressed nobles were sitting around a table.
However, they were not discussing the upcoming war. Instead, they were leisurely drinking afternoon tea and chatting, as if they were on an outing.
"Speaking of which, those two guys Osal and James are really useless. They have a total of five billion battleships, but not even a single message has been spread!"
"Who says it's not the case? In the end, we were so tired that the three of us made a special trip."
"Just look at it, we were traveling armed at that time!"
"That's right, hahaha!"
Suddenly, the entire bridge was filled with laughter from these three people, while the others seemed to be used to it and did not react at all, except for one of the staff officers.
Smile, you can still smile now.
After a while, I'm afraid I won't be able to cry even if I want to!
Looking at the three commanders of the star fleet, Lucas sneered in his heart.
As a member of Commoner Faction, because he is in a key position, he is the staff officer of the star fleet commander.
Therefore, he did not go to Lasais like others, but continued to stay and continued to provide various intelligence to Lance.
Those three commanders didn't know yet, but their every move had been known to Lance through Lucas.
"Commander, the fleet has finished resting. Do you want to set off now?"
The captain looked at the time, frowned, came to the side of one of them, Rels, the president of this expedition, and said.
"Asshole, didn't you see that we are having afternoon tea? You have no eyesight!"
"Okay, Rels, you don't have to be so irritable, you might as well finish it as soon as possible!"
"Yes, although the starry sky is beautiful, you will still get tired of it after staying there for a long time. Let's finish it earlier and let's go to Rabi Star to rest comfortably for a few days."
"Well, since you all say so, let's go!"
Rels You were right. After staying in space for more than a month, I was really getting tired of it.
It's better to Rabi Star go to rest after finishing the business earlier.
Speaking of which, Rabi Star is the seventh-level Life Planet, with a beautiful environment and pleasant climate.
"Why are you still standing there? Didn't you hear what we just said? Let's go quickly!"
"You really have no discernment at all!"
Rels, who was imagining himself sunbathing on the Rabi Star beach, happened to catch sight of the captain who was still standing aside with his peripheral vision, and he immediately started to curse.
"Yes, Commander!"
"How many times do I have to say it, you are the commander-in-chief? Is your head full of mush?"
"Yes, Commander-in-Chief!"
Although he was on the verge of bursting out, the captain still suppressed his anger.
And this scene was all seen by Lucas on the other side.
Lucas naturally knows the origin of Xiwet.
A down-and-out nobleman in the empire. Every generation of his family has been very upright. He has never bullied civilians, and even often helps them.
However, such behavior is ultimately incompatible with the aristocracy as a whole. Therefore, Xiwet's family has been rejected by other aristocrats for many years and gradually declined.
Nowadays, his entire family has no other assets except the ancestral home, and he is afraid that he will be demoted to civilians in this generation.
It seems that Xiwet can fight for it!
Looking at Captain Xiwet who was forcibly suppressing his anger, Lucas couldn't help but think so in his heart.
"Order the entire fleet to activate Warp Drive Engine and implement a joint jump with the third jump array."
"Target, Kepler Star System!"
Just when Lucas was planning how to win over this lonely nobleman, inside the bridge.
The command Xiwet has already sounded!
