As Sun River Empire's fleet withdrew, the situation on the entire battlefield suddenly changed.
The alliance, which was originally suppressed, directly launched a full-scale counterattack. Without the support of the imperial power, those Ninth/Tenth Order Civilization are no match for the alliance.
A one-sided war has begun!
At the same time, the war was also fiercely fought behind those Supercluster in the empire-controlled areas.
However, it was different from the earliest days when the empire was unprepared and unilaterally suppressed it.
As more and more fleets withdraw from the front line, the pressure on Federal Fleet further increases.
However, Lin Fan has been facing this situation for a long time, and is not in a hurry. He still wants the fleet to withstand the pressure and attract more imperial fleets to return, thus creating opportunities for the alliance forces on the front line.
Greenlert Supercluster, this is where the Imperial Army Commander Command Center is.
The person responsible for the offensive here is a Dauntless Fleet attack group from the Federation, with only 5 billion in number, while the number of warships on the Empire side has reached 200 billion, and is still increasing as time goes by.
However, the 40-fold difference in quantity still left the empire unable to do anything about Federal Fleet.
The Exile Ray, which has a range of more than 100AU, is simply insurmountable. Every attack can take away at least a few or even a dozen imperial warships.
One dark cave after another continued to form, directly sucking the surrounding battleships into it, and then disappeared.
Even Sun River Empire, who is Super Civilization, has never seen this attack method.
However, even if there is no solution, we still have to rush forward, even if it means paying for it with human life!
If even this small amount of supplies cannot be held, then even if the surrounding affiliated civilizations immediately start transporting them, the army will not be able to hold on to their arrival.
"Commander Gloucester, we can no longer allow the conventional fleet to attack. This is just a matter of death!"
In the bridge, the adjutant took the casualty statistics and persuaded Gloucester.
If you use human life to fill it up and you can finally rush forward, then forget it.
But what is the situation now?
The opponent can hit itself, and all defense methods are completely disabled, and the imperial fleet cannot attack the opponent at all.
If this is not a unilateral massacre, what is it?
"No, the few supply bases we have left are all behind the defense line. If we give way to the defense line now, have you thought about the consequences?"
"Before Blazing Sun Fleet returns, no retreat will be allowed, even if it costs tens or even hundreds of billions of warships to do so!"
It's not that Gloucester doesn't know that the fleet under his command is being slaughtered, but that behind this line of defense, which was finally formed with great difficulty, are the few remaining supply depots for the army.
If these are gone, then there is no need to wait for the affiliated civilization to deliver supplies. In just a few days, the entire imperial army will be destroyed!
"Reporting to the commander-in-chief, Blazing Sun Fleet is back and is expected to arrive at the battlefield in five minutes!"
"Okay, great!"
After hearing Communications Officer's report, Gloucester was also very happy.
This is indeed good news. Although the weapon used by the other party is unexplainable, according to the analysis of my experts, it is most likely an advanced application technology of Black Hole Channel.
That is to say, a one-way door with no protection measures is directly opened, so that the battleship is directly sucked into the black cavity.
After all, when Black Hole Channel is opened, a passage like a tunnel will be formed in Black Hole Cavity Space between the two points, so that the passing warships will not be eroded by the environment in the black cavity.
But the Federation's Exile Ray is different. It just opens a door, and outside the door is like a cliff. As long as you take one step out, you will fall directly into the abyss.
It is precisely because of this that the existing defense methods cannot have any effect, because Exile Ray itself does not attack the battleship, but uses Black Hole Cavity Space's natural pulling force on the internal materials of the universe to drag in all nearby materials.
The only thing that can resist this pulling force is Black Hole Cavity Armor, which is also filled with Black Hole Cavity Particles.
However, since the Empire's Black Hole Cavity Armor technology is immature and the coverage density is very small, it is still unknown how effective it can be in defense.
But according to experts' optimistic guesses, it should be able to withstand 70% of the pulling force, and the remaining 30% can be offset by the battleship's own power.
In short, regardless of whether this guess is reliable or not, Blazing Sun Fleet is now Gloucester's last chance.
A few minutes later, after the 3 billion ship Blazing Sun-class Warship arrived, it immediately launched an assault on Federal Fleet under the order of Gloucester.
The rest of the conventional fleet, under the leadership of Blazing Sun Fleet, started to advance again.
Soon, in less than a few seconds, a new wave of attacks had arrived, and a large number of dark holes appeared in the void again, numbering in the billions.
However, unlike before, the pulling force from Black Hole Cavity Space seems to have weakened a lot this time, plus the power of the Empire's Solar Battleship has been adjusted to the maximum.
Although it could still be pulled, it was very slow. After more than ten seconds, before the battleship could be dragged in, these dark holes began to gradually disappear.
This time there was no tragedy like the previous attack. Most of the Solar Battleship survived, except for a small number of warships that were directly sucked away at the entrance of the hole.
"Sure enough, it works. Order Blazing Sun Fleet. No matter what the cost, rush over and disrupt the opponent's array immediately. The conventional fleet will arrive soon!"
"Yes, Commander!"
After watching the entire Federation offensive, Gloucester also became more confident. As long as Blazing Sun Fleet could rush in, he would be confident to win the opposing fleet.
However.
Federal Dauntless Fleet third attack group, inside the flagship bridge.
"Report to Commander, the enemy has arrived with a new fleet. Our previous attack had little effect. According to analysis, it should be Blazing Sun Fleet of the Sun River Empire in the intelligence, which uses the prototype technology of Black Hole Cavity Armor."
"Understood, proceed according to the second phase of the operation. After locking the coordinates, immediately activate Black Hole Channel!"
After hearing such news, the commander of the third attack group Carroll was not in a hurry and immediately ordered.
"Yes, Commander!"
At the same time, the empire also discovered the abnormality of Federal Fleet.
"Commander Gloucester, the enemy has not launched a new attack for a minute. According to our observations, the enemy fleet is gathering its array."
"Collapse the array, what are you doing?"
"The report, based on its behavioral analysis, is likely to require a retreat!"
"Inform the fleet that if the enemy wants to run, let them go. They can't catch up. Moreover, ensuring the safety of supplies is the top priority now!"
"Yes, Commander!"
