[War Without End]

"Intercept."

Lin Xiao gazed at the densely packed warship formations of varying sizes displayed on the radar.

They absolutely couldn't allow the enemy fleet to continue to exist.

The longer the enemy's warships remained, the greater the threat to them.

As the order to intercept was issued, without him needing to give any further instructions, two massive fleets fearlessly charged into the Zerg swarm, as if on a suicide mission.

However, that was not the case.

When the two massive fleets entered the Zerg army, all three fleets deployed their attack systems, with various lasers and rule-based missiles wantonly crisscrossing the battlefield, concentrating their attacks on the Zerg Warriors surrounding the two fleets.

In a short moment.

Half of the area around the two fleets was cleared.

But the Zerg's counterattack was still terrifying.

In less than two minutes, they surged towards the two Star Ancient Empire warship fleets that were trying to intercept them once again.

They seemed to be fearless warriors charging forward, regardless of the overwhelming barrage of fire from behind.

You clear out one batch, and we have another.

The Zerg were fighting a war of attrition with you, to see who could outlast the other.

The other Joint Fleets were facing similar situations.

But no one called for retreat.

They were not fighting for themselves, and they were very clear that since they had completely fallen out with the Zerg this time, there was only one ending.

A War Without End.

Until one side fell.

Imperial Palace.

Hall of Governance.

"Your Majesty, according to frontline statistics, regarding the war with the Zerg."

"In just three days, our losses have already reached a significant scale."

"Currently, we have lost 7,000 warships, with personnel casualties as high as 150 million. It is estimated that in the next week, our losses will reach an unprecedented level."

"The maximum loss is estimated to be around 25,000 T0-Level warships, and personnel casualties could reach a staggering 1 billion or more."

Bai Wen, the Supreme Commander of the Military Department, stood in the Star Ancient Empire's Hall of Governance, looking at His Majesty on the throne, her face expressionless, relaying the frontline battle report in detail to the Emperor.

A hundred years was not enough to reduce the size of the Empire's T0-Class Joint Fleet.

Therefore, the current T0-Class Joint Fleets, except for the First United Fleet, are basically the fully equipped formations from the past.

She wasn't panicking at all.

"What's the situation? Losses exceeding seven thousand T0-Level Warships, and casualties reaching a staggering 15,000? And you've only managed to take one Six-Dimensional Universe?"

Hearing this, Minister of Public Security Bai Hong turned his head in shock to look at his family head, utterly astonished.

You must know.

Back when they fought the Aolei Empire, they didn't even lose this many Warships.

Now, they've lost so many Warships and personnel.

And the result is that they've only taken one universe?

The Frontline is still in combat, and losses are increasing at an alarming rate.

"Minister Bai, don't forget."

"The Aolei Empire is, after all, a human civilization, but what about the Zerg?"

"The Zerg are not a human civilization; how could they easily give up their territory to you?"

"Moreover, the Zerg's desire for territory is well known. If you compress their living environment, how can they not go crazy?"

Prime Minister Long Ye glanced at the Minister of Public Security.

Human civilizations, in the end, still consider the bigger picture.

But the Zerg, their way of life is that the more territory they have, the stronger they become.

If you seize their territory, how can they not go crazy?

"Your Majesty, I propose that Marshal Bai Lin's imprisonment be lifted and that Marshal Bai Lin be allowed to join the war."

Just then.

Minister of Finance Yang Lin Er stepped out of the ranks and voiced her thoughts.

At this time, they shouldn't dwell on the previous losses.

They can discuss Bai Lin's problem after the matter is over.

Right now, the war is the priority.

This concerns the survival of human civilization.

Personal grievances cannot compare to the human civilization as a whole.

"How is the Imperial logistics?" Yang Yu asked, looking at Yang Lin Er after the noisy Hall of Governance quieted down.

War is all about logistics.

Therefore, the Frontline's losses must be replenished as quickly as possible by logistics.

Otherwise.

The consequences are unimaginable.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, the Empire's Star Ports are currently accelerating the construction of Warships and are fully capable of bearing the current losses and consumption."

"We currently possess twenty thousand Six-Dimensional Universes, and our Imperial Treasury's plan is to jointly construct one warship for every two Six-Dimensional Universes."

"In that case, we can build a T0-Level Warship in two days."

"As for personnel replenishment, that depends on the Imperial Prime Minister's Office."

Minister of Finance, Yang Lin Er, immediately listed the corresponding names.

"Will this have a negative impact on the Empire's normal development?"

Yang Yu asked.

If the war affects the Empire's development, then they must tighten their belts.

"Currently, it won't affect the Empire, but if the time drags on, it will still impact our Imperial Treasury."

"Our Treasury plans to increase commercial trade with the Elf Empire to keep the funds circulating, so we can wage war against the Zerg for a long time."

"Of course, our Imperial Treasury Department has not cut funding for the Imperial Academy of Engineering's projects, please rest assured, Your Majesty."

Yang Lin Er informed the Emperor about the potential impact of the ongoing war on the Imperial Treasury's income, but also assured the Emperor that the war would not affect the project funding for the Imperial Academy of Engineering.

After all, the Empire's technological advancements all stem from the tireless efforts of the Imperial Academy of Engineering.

Listening to Yang Lin Er's words, Yang Yu was very satisfied and said, "If permissible, the Empire can sell those Aolei Empire warships that have not yet been dismantled to the Elf Empire, even selling the Empire's T1-Class Warships to the Elf Empire is not out of the question."

Being able to exchange them for sufficient funds and resources would be the best thing.

War is all about money.

"Long Aiqing, what do you think?"

Yang Yu's gaze fell on Prime Minister Long Ye, and he asked softly.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, the current Imperial population is fully sufficient to join this war. I can say with certainty that when the war begins, my Star Ancient Empire's ability to produce soldiers can directly increase by +300%, and the warship construction speed will increase by +300%."

"And it will not affect the development of various industries in the Empire."

Long Ye immediately projected some data in front of him, pointing to the data above, and said, "Perhaps, relying on the Imperial citizens of the Six-Dimensional World, it is impossible to wage war against the Zerg."

"But after we migrate the people of the Four Dimensions and Five-Dimensional Worlds to the Star World, even if we use population to pile up, we can take 1/3 of the Zerg's territory."

"Anyone can talk big, say something practical."

The Minister of Education said unceremoniously, "Carrying out various projects simultaneously puts a lot of pressure on the Imperial Treasury. May I ask, Minister of Finance, are the funds really sufficient? If they are not sufficient, I am willing to contribute 90% of my family's wealth."

"You..."
