A whole day has passed since the human fleet entered Oakes Empire Capital Sphere!

On the orbit of Planet Oakes, there is a giant fortress, which is the base of Royal Fleet.

The entire fortress is the culmination of imperial technology and took a full 50 years to build. In terms of combat effectiveness, it is comparable to half a Royal Fleet. If Royal Fleet cooperates with the fortress to defend, then even if Lin Fan has another 65,000 shielded warships, they will not dare to attack!

Of course, Lin Fan has never considered fighting hard. At this moment, he is still commanding the fleet to capture the modified Life Planet and Resource Star one by one.

The Capital Sphere where the Emperor Star is located is indeed not comparable to other Star System. The planets are like fortresses and fully equipped with various weapons. Even after the battleships cleared most of the heavy weapons and bases at fixed points in orbit, there are still a large number of weapons hidden in various industrial zones.

After all, this place will belong to the Federation from now on. For resource mining bases and other industrial bases, Lin Fan will not directly choose to destroy them, otherwise it will take who knows how many years to be redeveloped.

The three commanders combined, in the end, they relied on mechas and Assault Ship to carry out the airborne landing. The warship existed as an artillery unit, and the ground troops after airborne could call for artillery strikes at any time.

After paying a small price, although they have gained control of most of the planets, there is still a lot of resistance.

Lin Fan's order is, don't hit hard, we have plenty of time, just push slowly and gradually.

If some of the more troublesome industrial areas fail, just let the warships clear them out directly. There is no need to protect all industrial areas 100%. The lives of soldiers should be put first.

Three days later, the 12 modified Life Planet and 27 Resource Star had basically been controlled, leaving only some sporadic resistance that could not be achieved.

Until the fifth day after the war, there was no resistance on the 39 small planets.

At this time, Ramiro, who was in the fortress, had red eyes. In the past few days, he had received several reports every day, all from troops on various planets.

The news was all clear, information about the fall and requests for help. Finally, on the fourth day, all the planets' fallen galaxies arrived.

"Damn humans, 39 planets have been given to you. Now you can come over and fight to the death!"

Ramiro gritted his teeth and muttered to himself while looking at the tactical screen of Capital Sphere.

In his logic, the goal of mankind is to capture the entire Capital Sphere, so as long as he waits here on the Emperor Star, mankind will eventually come over and fight him to the death.

Unfortunately, the idea is beautiful, but the reality is cruel.

One day has passed, and 39 human fleets are still in orbit around the planets.

Three days have passed and it's still the same.

Ten days have passed and there is still no movement from humans.

It has been fifteen days since the war started, and Ramiro can't sit still.

What are these humans doing? They have controlled all the planets, but ten days have passed without any action?

"Your Majesty!"

A guard trotted up to Lamie in a panic.

"Why are you panicking? How can you be so decent? If you have anything to say, tell me right away!"

"Yes, there was a report just now from the Emperor Star. Since the resource supply of other planets has been cut off for 15 days, there will soon be a resource shortage on the Emperor Star!"

Planet Oakes Since it is the capital of the entire empire, the planet does not have any industrial base and does not carry out any resource extraction, so it is quite well protected.

But there is also a problem, that is, energy, food, industrial products, etc., all of these things must be supplied by other planets in Capital Sphere.

Now that the transportation chain has been cut off, Emperor Star has not received resource replenishment for fifteen days. If this continues, within a month, problems will begin to arise in all aspects.

Industrial products are okay, but once energy and food are exhausted, the entire planet will have big problems.

"Why are you so anxious? In this critical moment, tell them to save whatever resources they can and try to hold on for me for as long as possible!"

"Yes!"

Ramiro, who was agitated at the moment, obviously didn't realize Lin Fan's plan until the 42nd day after the war started.

The guard ran to Ramiro again.

"Your Majesty, reported from the Emperor Star, the energy aspect has been limited recently, so it can still last for a while, but the food aspect can no longer hold on, and all food stores will be exhausted tomorrow."

"Huh?"

At this time, Ramiro came to his senses and seemed to have caught something. But before he could think about it, the captain of Emperor, Vice Commander Piero, who was also Royal Fleet, also came in front of him.

"Your Majesty, there is going to be a problem with the fleet's supplies. The current supplies on the fortress can only sustain the fleet for another month at most."

Since Oakes's empire currently uses nuclear energy, the key nuclear raw materials do not exist on Oakes planet at all, but are very abundant on Resource Star within Capital Sphere, enough to last Capital Sphere for hundreds of thousands of years.

The problem is that nuclear materials need to be transported to the Oakes planet, but now, all Resource Star have been occupied by humans, and transportation has been cut off for a full month and a half.

Not to mention that it is no longer worthy of being on the planet, even Royal Fleet will have problems over time.

Everyone knows that humans have Warp Drive Engine, so it is impossible for warships to turn off their engines and park in the fortress. Instead, hundreds of thousands of warships are in a state of combat readiness at all times, which consumes a huge amount of energy every day. Under this consumption, the reserve energy in the fortress is only enough to last another month.

"Damn humans, I asked you why there has been no movement at all for more than a month. It turns out that you are waiting for us to destroy ourselves!"

"Your Majesty, we must find a way to force humans to fight us. If we delay it any longer, we will destroy ourselves without humans attacking."

Piero said eagerly to Ramiro.

On the other side, several astronomical units away, inside the Uranus bridge.

"Commander Liang, how long do you think they can support it?"

"Well, according to our previous research on the Oakes Empire's warships, they are still using the same nuclear-powered ones as we have before. Currently, all their warships are in a state of combat readiness. Without supplies, I don't think they can last more than three months."

"But it's been such a long time. The other party should have understood our intentions. I'm more curious about what countermeasures they will take?"

Lin Fan smiled. Actually, there is still a way to counter his shameless tactics, but...

No matter what the method is, Lin Fan has already prepared countermeasures in his heart!

"Commander, the opposing fleet has dispatched!"
