The virtual combat conference room.
The military chiefs of all the alliance's core civilizations gathered once more.
Everyone present wore a grave expression. After all, the topic of this combat meeting was rather
outrageous.
Yes, outrageous.
Lin Fan stated that this operation would wipe out six of the seven remaining Cleaners in one fell swoop.
And among them was the Peak Seventh-order Black Hole Civilization, the Black and White Church!
Wasn't that absurd?
At the very least, everyone present thought so.
But soon, as Lin Fan explained, everyone's expressions turned strange. Some even began to sympathize with the Cleaners.
It truly was...
Right after this combat meeting, the fleets of the entire alliance began to assemble.
The member states used warships recently phased out by the Federation. Their performance was just slightly stronger than that of Peak Sixth-order Cleaners, and they numbered 150,000 legions.
The Federation, meanwhile, deployed second-generation Leviathan warships.
Now that Black Hole Cavity transformation had been fully implemented and over seventy percent of the adult population had reached the Third Tier, conventional warships had been completely phased out by the Federation.
Leviathan warships had become the standard equipment of the Federal Fleet.
Their numbers had also reached 100,000 legions.
Besides the 200,000 legions serving as the main force, the warships phased out during the member states' refits were not wasted either. They formed another 200,000 second-rate legions.
Although these second-rate legions were not as strong as a Peak Sixth-order Black Hole Civilization, they had still reached the Sixth-order and did not suffer from a generational gap.
Thus, the alliance's total assembled force reached a staggering 450,000 legions.
Federation Year 6589.
After ten years of preparation, all fleets had finally assembled.
The operation officially began!
Lin Fan divided this operation into two stages, the first of which was
