"With just the Second Fleet, we probably aren't their match. After all, the Second Fleet's primary mission is to guard the Nine Planets, and its forces are spread too thin!"
Pausing for a moment, Lian Feng went on to suggest, "Should we dispatch the Third Fleet? They're an offensive fleet with the strongest combat power!"
Du Kao walked back and forth inside the command room with his head lowered, pondering Lian Feng's suggestion in his heart.
The Huaxia Civilization currently possessed the Four Great Fleets. The First Fleet had the strongest comprehensive strength, but its mission was to protect the warship manufacturing center on Venus, which was extremely important and must never be moved lightly.
The Second Fleet, just as Lian Feng had said, had its forces spread too thin, making it unsuitable for dealing with the Taotie Legion.
As for the Fourth Fleet, it had been built for less than ten years, so it was even less likely to be a match for the Taotie. Thinking it over and over again, only the offensive Third Fleet was suited for this operation.
Having made his decision, Du Kao did not dare to delay, and immediately ordered Lian Feng, "Order Zhu Tianyi of the Third Fleet to take half of the fleet's forces and head to Pluto for reinforcement. Upon arrival, join forces with the Second Fleet garrisoned outside Pluto's defense perimeter to deal with the Taotie Legion together!"
"Understood, Commander!"
After the order was issued, Lian Feng immediately went to transmit the command to the Third Fleet. However, since the Taotie King Shi Hao had not yet ordered an attack—certainly to gather all the forces of the Taotie Civilization—Lian Feng still had plenty of time to deploy the troops.
The great battle in Giant Gorge City thus concluded easily. Although the demons had made preparations in advance, they had only deployed a thousand demon soldiers, and even those were just the most ordinary low-level demons.
Their intentions were already quite obvious, but neither Yang Hua, Liang Bing, nor Du Kao spoke directly of them.
This was because they all understood that the Super Soldier Company was a powerful force, but also a young one. They were all talents with potential, yet they needed the tempering of war.
Hmm, the genetic conditions possessed by the Super Soldier Company are indeed good. If cultivated, they will surely become a powerful combat squad in the future.
Outside Pluto, in a concealed space, Sun Wukong spoke slowly, just as he had guessed from the very beginning.
Although the demon warriors were seasoned veterans, facing a group of super warriors possessing the three major super genes of the Super God Academy and the super genes of the Shenhe Civilization, the chances of the Demon Vanguard winning were still very slim.
Take Zhao Xin, Qi Lin, and the others for example. Although they were still only half-god-level warriors, even God-Slaying No. 1 projectiles had no way of causing them fatal injuries.
And the subsequent Jia Wen, Leina, and Qiang Wei all displayed their respective advantages. Especially with Su Xiao Li's ability—without her Bewitching Power controlling so many demon soldiers, this war would not have ended so quickly.
"Enough, I know the super genes brought by those aliens are powerful, but you don't have to keep bringing them up, do you? You aren't annoyed, but I'm already sick of it!" Emperor Heaven already wore an expression of extreme impatience at this moment.
If he hadn't been unable to beat Sun Wukong, he would have made a move long ago.
"Hey, what did you make me come here with you for? The Taotie Civilization has those fleets to deal with, what are we sticking our noses in for?"
Reaching out to point at the Second Fleet's sub-fleet stationed outside the concealed space guarding Pluto, Emperor Heaven asked doubtfully.
"I'm doing this just in case. Carl doesn't look like someone who keeps his promises. In case he sends a god-level warrior to strike, these fleets will be completely finished. Our task is to prevent the enemy's god-level power and above; leave the rest for them to resolve!"
Thinking of what his master had said to him earlier above Giant Gorge City, Sun Wukong quickly explained to Emperor Heaven as well.
"Is that so? Then we'll just guard here. Hopefully the Taotie King Shi Hao won't do anything foolish!"
Within the Milky Way Galaxy, near Pluto, aboard the flagship of the Taotie Legion, two Taotie warriors who appeared to be high-ranking Taotie commanders were conversing.
"Our vanguard fleet that arrived here has already been discovered, and now Pluto's periphery has been surrounded by the fleet of the Huaxia Civilization!"
The high-ranking Taotie commander speaking was none other than the previous Taotie vanguard commander Xiong Lu, and the other was his deputy, Feng Ming—the younger brother of the deceased Feng Lei. The two of them were covered in metal armor from head to toe, looking utterly arrogant and imposing.
Hearing Xiong Lu's words, Feng Ming asked in surprise, "Then what do we do? More than half of our people haven't even passed through the Great Worm Bridge yet. To be discovered by the enemy now, this is not good news!"
Feng Ming seemed quite nervous, while Xiong Lu remained very calm and comforted him, "Don't worry, I just reported the situation to my King. King Shi Hao ordered us to speed up the progress, turn the energy of the Great Worm Bridge to maximum, and let the remaining fleet pass through the Great Worm Bridge rapidly."
Hearing these words from Xiong Lu, Feng Ming shed his previous nervous atmosphere, put on a serious expression, and nodded in agreement.
"In addition, the Huaxia Civilization has already entered the aerospace era. Although it is only their initial entry, their strength still cannot be underestimated. Presumably, their fleet already possesses different magnitudes of antimatter weapons, or even planet-destroying weapons."
"Although we also have weapons of this magnitude, if it really comes down to a fight of this scale, then even if we win, it will be a pyrrhic victory, gaining more than we lose."
"So my suggestion is close-quarters combat to the maximum limit, supplemented by a large number of airships. In this case, the high-power weapons of both sides will basically be rendered useless, and what remains will depend purely on individual skill."
"Alright, we'll go with your deployment!"
An exceptional battle plan was brewed at this moment, yet not a single person in the Huaxia Civilization's fleet sensed it.
In the days that followed on Pluto, Taotie warships arrived here continuously from the other side of the Great Worm Bridge. Similarly, ever since Lian Feng's troop-deployment order was issued, half of the Third Fleet's forces also began rapidly assembling toward Pluto.
Three days later, the forces of both sides had completed their assembly. At this time, Pluto was surrounded by a massive number of Taotie main warships, among which the flagships alone numbered in the thousands. These warships had tightly encircled Pluto, protecting the Great Worm Bridge behind them.
Outside Pluto, there was a massive Huaxia Civilization fleet. Compared to the Taotie, their numbers were not much inferior. It could be said that the two sides were evenly matched at present, and judging solely by the current situation, it was impossible to tell which side had the advantage.
Aboard the flagship of the Huaxia Third Fleet stood its commander, Zhu Tianyi, and Yang Bin, commander of the Second Fleet's sub-fleet stationed at Pluto!
"Everyone, the Commander-in-Chief has given the order: this great battle will be under the sole responsibility of this general. Now all the enemy's forces have gathered in one place. Facing an enemy force whose strength is on par with ours, what countermeasures do you all have? Speak your minds freely!"
Zhu Tianyi, serving as the Commander-in-Chief for this battle, spoke first.
