Three months after Epsilon Eridani was captured by the Federation, the news finally reached the ears of the Oakes Empire Emperor Ramiro.
"Your Majesty, Epsilon Eridani defenders sent a message saying that Epsilon Eridani has been breached by humans, and the commander has also committed suicide! And since humans have reached Epsilon Eridani, it means that Barnard's Star and Proxima are very likely to have been breached too!"
"What? This is impossible. Don't humans only have 20,000 to 30,000 battleships?"
"Your Majesty, Adams The 200,000 fleet has been lost to humans. We can no longer underestimate humans! The current human fleet at Epsilon Eridani can already threaten Rao. We must be prepared!"
Ross is really worried now. You must know that six of the eight armies of the empire are fighting fiercely on the Kabart Empire front.
There are two legions left, one is Third Imperial Guard Legion and has been destroyed by Solar System.
There is also a Fourth Imperial Guard Legion that has just withdrawn from the Kabart Empire front, and it will take about 9 years to reach Rao.
However, Rao currently only has 50,000 defenders. If it is breached, then the more than ten Star System behind Rao, with only 5,000-10,000 warships stationed there, will be defenseless.
If they all fall, it will shake the foundation of the empire. How can Ross not be anxious?
"Order all Star System defenders around to assemble to Rao and seal Star Path for me! At the same time, uncle, please help me talk to the Kabart Empire. I can cede three Star System to them. If you agree, we will cease the war. If you don't agree, we will fight to the death!"
"Okay, they should agree!"
"Well, the armistice left two legions to guard the defense line, and the remaining four legions were all transferred to the human side. Adding in the Fourth Imperial Guard Legion that is already on the way, there are nearly 2 million warships. I don't believe that humans can't be destroyed!"
"Yes, Your Majesty, I'm going right now!"
After finishing speaking, Ross immediately ran out, preparing to contact the Kabart Empire front, but Oakes Empire did not have the federal Quantum Communication Technology. Communication was very time-consuming, and it would take at least 2 or 3 years to finally reach an agreement.
In addition to the Kabart Empire, Ross also issued orders to 14 Star System within 12 light-years behind the direction of Rao, requiring all defenders to assemble towards Rao.
Ross calculated that approximately 90,000 fleets can be assembled within 5 years. Adding Rao's own 50,000 fleets, the total number can reach 140,000.
The 140,000 fleet guarding Star Path should be able to hold on until Fourth Imperial Guard Legion and other subsequent legions arrive.
As long as Rao can be defended for fifteen years, the nearly 2 million fleet will be fully in place, and by then it will not be a problem to overwhelm the entire federation.

Epsilon Eridani, Star Path defense line, Uranus.
Lin Fan, who was training in his room, was interrupted by an unexpected communication.
"Uncle Ed, what do you want from me?"
Lin Fan was still very surprised by this private communication from Ed.
What is this daughter trying to do to accuse her future father-in-law?
"It's like this. Didn't you capture a Oakes Empire commander named Lancer in Proxima? We have been interrogating him recently, and after a few months, we finally have results!"
"Well, I know this guy. What information did you get?"
Lin Fan was a little surprised that he could obtain information from the commander of the Oakes Empire!
After all, these guys are very tough-talking, and it is difficult to get them to speak. Most of them probably use unconventional means!
"The news obtained this time is very important. First of all, Star Path of Epsilon Eridani leads to a Star System called Rao. Currently, the defenders have 50,000 warships, and there are no large legions around! In other words, there should not be a large number of the Oakes Empire fleets attacking Epsilon Eridani within ten years."
"Secondly, Main Legion of the Oakes Empire are now concentrated on their border and are at war with the Kabart Empire, and the Bakat Empire is also a Level 3 Civilization that is not weaker than Oakes Empire."
"Therefore, we decided to send your First Fleet to the Kabart Empire to perform a top-secret mission!"
Lin Fan looked at Ed and basically had a rough idea of the mission.
Either let yourself seek cooperation with the Kabart Empire and destroy Oakes Empire together!
Or let yourself fool Kabart Empire and let them fight Oakes Empire to the death!
In fact, Lin Fan's guess is very accurate, that's what Lin Zhen and Ed think.
"We want your First Fleet to pretend to be Level 4 Civilization, fool Kabart Empire, and let them fight to the death with the Oakes Empire!"
Sure enough, Lin Fan said silently in his heart.
"Okay, I'll take this task!"
"Okay, but this is a top-secret mission. Federal Fleet will not issue a formal order. In addition, we will explain it to Liang Xingchen, and he will treat it as if you First Fleet have never left! As for the coordinates of the imperial capital of the Kabart Empire, we also obtained it from the prisoners and will pass it on to you later!"
"I understand, but I need to apply for something to convince them!"
"Tell me about it!"
"I need a batch of Energy Shield devices. It's best to have a larger quantity. Of course, there must be a backdoor in the device! Level 4 Civilization asks Level 3 Civilization to do things, so it has to be paid, right?"
"Well, you have the same considerations as your old man. Don't worry. There are currently more than 10,000 Energy Shield devices in inventory. After we implant the backdoor, we will ship the Epsilon Eridani. You can set off after accepting this batch of equipment!"
"Okay!"
After hanging up the communication, the first thing Lin Fan did was to take out the Star Chart that had been rewarded by the system and check whether the coordinates of the Kabart Empire were correct.
After all, you can't trust the prisoners' confessions without reservation. You still need to confirm it yourself to be safe.
After comparing it, it was found that there was no problem with the coordinates, and Lin Fan became curious.
What method was used to open Lancer's mouth? Could it be that drugs used to force human confessions also have an effect on Oakes people?
A week later, 200 Bull-class Supply Ship arrived at the Epsilon Eridani Star Path defense line.
These supply ships carry a total of 10,000 Energy Shield devices, and they will follow First Fleet of Lin Fan to the Kabart Empire.
After everything was ready, Lin Fan left the defense line with the fleet and 200 Bull-class Supply Ship on the grounds of actual combat training. Naturally, Liang Xingchen, who had already received the news, would not say anything!
After the fleet left the radar monitoring range of the defense line, it came to an airspace far away from the Star Path defense line monitoring range.
After explaining the mission content to the captains, he passed the coordinates to them.
Ten minutes later, as the void shrank suddenly, First Fleet took 200 supply ships and jumped away at the order of Lin Fan!
