Yes, in Lumbard's eyes, the human reinforcements were just that absurd.
After all, every administrative region of the Moy Union had a main fleet of 300 billion ships. In terms of organization, every 100 billion warships formed a main fleet, while every 50 billion formed a sub-fleet.
In other words, any random sub-fleet in the Moy Union was five times the size of this human reinforcement fleet.
Yet the order required all defending forces to unconditionally cooperate with the human fleet's military operations.
If that wasn't absurd, what was?
Most importantly, Lumbard had once heard a piece of gossip from a colleague at Larnass's Supreme Command: this so-called Human Federation seemed to be...
An Eighth Order Technological Civilization!
Five days passed in the blink of an eye.
"Commander Lumbard, there is only one minute left until the human fleet's scheduled arrival!"
"Good. Notify the fleet to move. Clear out all of the enemy's Hyperspace Interference Devices!"
"Yes!"
This was standard procedure whenever a reinforcement fleet was about to arrive. Otherwise, the reinforcements simply could not get in!
Perhaps this would not have been feasible on an ordinary battlefield. After all, the range of a Hyperspace Interference Device was measured in light-years. As long as they were deployed behind one's own fleet, or even several light-years behind it...
Even if the enemy could detect the coordinates of the interference devices, they would not have enough range to attack them.
But things were different at the Current Mouth. The spherical encirclement, with a radius of five AU, was enough to allow the Moy fleet on the defensive line to strike any location within it.
"Report! All interference device locations have been locked on. Thirty-seven in total!"
"Immediately concentrate sufficient warships and focus fire on each of them. Make sure they are
