A full 2,000 legions poured into the Empire's home universe.
That number could nearly fill more than half a universe.
After all, a Supercluster could accommodate at most several quadrillion warships, no more than that.
Thus, once those 2,000 legions entered, they could directly fill several thousand Superclusters. It was an utterly terrifying force.
With such troop strength, Lin Yu's group of over 20,000 would eventually be completely surrounded.
The prerequisite was—
That they had enough time.
But clearly, they did not have enough time at this moment.
Because the Alliance forces along the defensive lines had already launched a full-scale offensive.
Having exhausted all their self-destruct planets, the self-destruct ships converted from civilian vessels alone could not pose much threat to the Federation's several hundred legions.
They had neither speed nor defenses. Even though some ships had temporarily been fitted with naval cannons, they simply could not bring out their true power.
Therefore, the Federation only needed to deploy a hundred legions to defend the outer perimeter of its fleet formation.
That alone was enough to ensure that those self-destruct ships could not approach the fleet.
As for the Empire's 500 Main Legions stationed along the first defensive line, they had already been outnumbered. Combined with the massive performance gap between them and the Federation's Canglong-class Warships, they failed to last even an hour before the line was breached.
Of course, that did not mean the Federation had wiped out the Empire's 500 legions within an hour.
That was not the case. They had merely punched a passage through the defensive line, allowing the Federation fleet to pass through it and directly launch an offensive against the second defensive line.
In reality, the Imperial fleet at the first defensive line had only lost a little over a hundred legions.
