The Elven Plane, formerly territory of the Radiant Empire, in the North Wind Star System.
The endless fleet of warships, illuminated by a sky full of stars, formed a sharply defined crystalline avenue.
The Guta Federation primarily develops crystal technology, and its focus is on training Transcendent individuals as Mage, making it a distinctive entity.
This unprecedentedly large fleet alone has more than three million main warships, not including an even larger number of transport ships, logistics ships, and countless assault boats of various types.
Among this terrifying fleet, the flagship was not one of those enormous planetary fortresses, but a Nebula Class mothership about eighteen kilometers long— the Indestructible!
This warship is the culmination of the military shipbuilding technology of the Guta Federation. Its appearance is similar to a dark yellow prismatic crystal with countless facets. At first glance, it looks like a magnified yellow diamond. Each cross-section is exceptionally flat, with vein-like blue-gold energy circuits distributed on it, flickering like stars.
The Indestructible uses the Guta Federation's most advanced "Star Diamond Reactor," which collapses an entire mature star using space technology and stuffs it into the reactor to provide energy. Once the engine is running at full power, it can easily unleash a continuous barrage of star-destroying rays, Destruction everything.
It can be said that this Indestructible embodies the most advanced technological achievements of the Guta Federation, encompassing structural engineering, energy and power, materials science, and countless enchanted runes on its external armor. Whether in terms of mobility, defense, or firepower output, it represents the pinnacle of warship technology in the Elven Plane.
Inside the flagship Indestructible, Marshal Leikesimai of the Guta Federation stood with his hands behind his back, his gaze never leaving the star map before him.
Da da da!
The sound of steel combat boots stomping on the floor reached my ears, followed by a slightly deep male voice, "Marshal, the remnants of the Planet Oklo, Planet Veyin, the Saila Empire, and the Soaring Dragon Empire, together with forces that dare to resist us, have formed the ' Justice Allied Forces.' Should we change our previous battle plan?"
"Oh? The Justice Allied Forces? Heh, it seems the actions of that new King of Gendaya have given these terrified fools new confidence, daring to unite and rebel against us..."
Leikesimai turned around, a bloodthirsty killing intent flashing in his pitch-black eyes.
"No need to change the plan. No matter how much they unite, they can't change the fact that they're a rabble. The rapid collapse of the so-called allied forces has already proven this. We only need to follow the same operational strategy as last time to destroy their newly rebuilt confidence once again!"
"But... His Excellency Akesiman has already fallen. Won't the Central Intelligence Agency become a hindrance?" the adjutant asked hesitantly.
"Don't worry, the person succeeding Akesiman is Duolunduo, the former director of the Central Intelligence Agency. That old guy has even more experience than Akesiman, there won't be any problems!"
"Yes, I'll go and make the arrangements right away!"
Leikesimai continued to study the star map, adjusting troop deployments based on the intelligence gathered from various parties, gradually forming a complete attack formation.
To avoid interfering with each other's operations, the Allied forces divided their troops into three blocks: left, center, and right.
The forces of Planet Oklo, serving as the central army, are commanded by Marshal Huomu of the Crimson Alliance. This position was personally appointed by Logo, which surprised many and represented a new adjustment to the relationship between the Gendaya Royal Court and the Crimson Alliance.
Marshal Huomu was also quite surprised, but as a typical professional soldier, he quickly adapted to his new role despite his surprise and began to deploy troops. With his skillful experience in space warfare, he quickly formed a complete defense system based on several star systems near Planet Oklo and with the almost Infinity resources provided by Logo.
It must be said that the sum Logo made earlier has had a decisive impact on the current war situation.
On the Guta Federation side, in pursuit of victory, they had to adopt a more aggressive offensive tactical deployment. However, the Guta Star People's troops have always been more adept at stalling and defensive tactics, in short, they are extremely good at defensive counterattacks.
The drastic tactical changes exposed several minor flaws in what was originally a flawless offensive system.
These loopholes might seem flawless to ordinary generals, but to a top-tier player like Marshal Huomu, there were countless opportunities to exploit them.
On the other hand, with abundant resources, the entire Planet Oklo's production capacity is experiencing a massive boom.
Logo was not stingy with the resources at his disposal, and he didn't even skimp on the Radiant Empire. This left the Pope, who had previously been cursing him, somewhat at a loss, with a complicated expression.
As for the reactions of other forces, needless to say, Logo's reputation on Planet Oklo quickly soared.
The money offensive was straightforward and unpretentious. The thinking logic of most intelligent beings is actually quite simple. Perhaps the higher-ups of those powerful forces still harbor serious suspicions about Logo, but at least the middle and lower-level members' evaluation of this chairman has risen sharply, and that's enough.
The situation in the Elven Plane gradually became tense as both sides perfected their formations. The frontline troops even began probing attacks, and the two sides engaged in back-and-forth fighting.
Allied operations command center.
The projections of Supreme Commander Huomu and other commanders of various army groups gathered together to analyze the enemy situation. Some Demigod powerhouses also listened in, and Peak Demigod- level beings would occasionally participate in the discussion and express their opinions.
"According to reports from reconnaissance radar and scout teams, the enemy's temporary strongholds have been largely established, their rear lines are secure, and they have dispatched multiple vanguard forces to advance towards the Frost Leaf, Whale Song, and Chelsea star systems. Their offensive posture is quite evident..."
The tactical star map was three-dimensional, floating above the table, with thousands of coordinates marked. Marshal Huomu would zoom in or out on certain parts of the star map from time to time at a very fast pace. If it were just an ordinary person, they would definitely get dizzy.
The commanders present were either Transcendent or had auxiliary chips implanted in their cerebral cortex, giving them computing power comparable to computers. With just a glance, they could grasp the current battle situation perfectly, and they all listened attentively.
The main force of the Guta Federation had completely entered the influence zone of Planet Oklo, but instead of taking immediate action, it sent out small groups to infiltrate and establish temporary outposts to increase its margin for error. Although it claimed that the allied forces were insignificant, Leikesimai's actions spoke louder than words, and the arrangements he made were extremely meticulous. The few flaws that appeared were due to objective reasons that could not be changed. It can only be said that Logo's surprise attack was a huge blow to the Guta Federation.
There was another reason why the Guta Federation's main force did not advance in full force: once they fully entered the war zone, in order to maintain the combat performance of their warships, they had to maintain a conventional navigation state and could not enter subspace jump. They would most likely encounter beyond-visual-range firepower from the Allied forces along the way.
As the defending allies, they spare no effort in managing their territory. Planets in various star systems are filled with all kinds of interstellar weapons. Once they open fire at full speed, the large forces will be too big of a target and will suffer extremely high losses in a short period of time. Therefore, it is necessary to use the vanguard forces as much as possible to disrupt the allies' formation. Leikesimai does not want his own fleet to be bathed in gunfire.
After Huomu Holm finished his explanation, it was time for open discussion.
General Wagulina, a Grand Admiral from the Veyin Empire, spoke up, "The average performance of the Guta Federation's warships is far superior to ours, and they are much more maneuverable. If frequent mobile warfare occurs, we are likely no match for them. I suggest that the entire army take the initiative to advance and, in coordination with the frontline fortifications, launch an offensive defensive operation!"
These words drew nods of agreement from many commanders, but a general from the Soaring Dragon Empire countered, "Lord Wagulina's plan seems sound, but it abandons our advantages. Currently, our greatest advantage over the Guta Federation lies in our vast strategic depth, abundant resource reserves, and pre-established fixed lines. If we abandon these and launch an offensive, although we can avoid the Guta Federation's mobile warfare, can we definitely suppress the Guta Star People in terms of direct firepower? I doubt it!"
The general's rebuttal did not anger Wagulina; instead, he asked in a gentle tone, "Then, General Mingke, what are your thoughts?"
Yes, this general from the Soaring Dragon Empire is none other than Mingke du Sylvie, who once led the Fifth Army of the Iridescent Light Empire in a bloody battle against the Saila Empire. He is a general with a distinguished military record. After the Iridescent Light Empire surrendered to the Guta Federation, he led his subordinates in a fierce uprising and became a general of the Soaring Dragon Empire.
Mingke is quite renowned in the military circles of the Elven Plane, which is why he was able to gain Wagulina's approval. If any other general dared to contradict him like that, he would definitely be scolded mercilessly by this hot-tempered Weiyin People.
Facing the gazes from all sides, General Mingke remained calm. He walked to the star map, pointed to a few stars, and said, "These locations are heavily fortified with traps and dense artillery clusters, capable of launching beyond-visual-range strikes. If we can lure the enemy troops into the range of these locations, we can annihilate them with minimal losses."
"The problem is, the other side won't let us lead them by the nose!" a general immediately retorted.
Mingke replied, "No, they will. As long as we remain inactive, the Guta Federation will definitely launch an attack. Even if they don't send their entire army, they will certainly send a considerable portion of their main force. As for the reason, the Guta Federation's resource reserves are their Achilles' heel. Even if there is no problem, we can create one."
As he spoke, General Mingke turned his gaze to Logo, who was listening in the audience, and bowed slightly, saying, "I wonder if His Majesty Campbell would be willing to take action again and destroy the enemy's logistics base?"
"Heh, you're ordering me around now?"
"I dare not say so. I merely fulfilled my duty as a general, using every means possible to win this war," General Mingke said solemnly.
Logo gave him a deep look and nodded slightly. "Alright, I'll try my best, but I can't guarantee anything. After all, the Guta Federation is definitely wary of me."
Upon hearing this, all eyes turned to Mingke, filled with admiration and surprise. They hadn't expected that a general would dare to send one of the three leaders to help in the battle, and even more unexpectedly, His Majesty Campbell had agreed.
"That's all right!" General Wagulina nodded.
The other generals had no objections, so under Marshal Huomu's direction, the various commanders began to assign tasks.
After they finished assigning tasks, it was the turn of the many Demigod.
After glancing at the numerous high-level combatants, Marshal Huomu said in a deep voice, "You don't need to participate in the initial firepower exchanges and battles between warships. Apart from the mechanical class providing some network-level assistance, the rest of the Demigod will remain at the base, awaiting orders from headquarters before launching any further attacks."
"Good!"
The Demigod all nodded in agreement, without any objection. They were joking; even His Majesty Campbell was willing to follow the military's orders, let alone these little Karamis. No matter how strong you are, can you compare to His Peak Demigod Campbell, who can take down a peak demigod with a single shot?!
