Looking at the Big Bai Fleet on the 3D light beam that was zigzagging, turning, ambushing, and escaping unpredictably like a haunting shadow, all the leadership of the federation found it hard to believe their eyes.
"Yan — Yan Xinjian!"
Right then, a military advisor whose face was full of wrinkles suddenly exclaimed, "The strategy that the Big Bai Fleet adopted today is very similar to the classic example when Yan Xinjian gathered the space pirates and assaulted the coalition fleet of the six sects of Heavenly Saints City under the cover of a cosmic storm!
After hearing that, the experts of starship warfare all beamed with interest as they recalled the battle.
The starship specialists and commanders of the Federation today were mostly from the Flying Star Sector. The strongest fleet of the Flying Star Sector in the past five hundred years was the coalition fleet of the six sects of Heavenly Saints City.
Yan Xinjian, on the other hand, was the only one who had served as the commander of the coalition fleet of the six sects of Heavenly Saints City and completely crushed it!
To this day, his morals were long gone. However, the classic battles that he left as the best starship tactician in the past five hundred years had become the teaching materials and research objects of the starship command schools of the Federation.
In the most famous' counterattack on Spider Den ', the six sects of Heavenly Saints City gathered all the forces of the major sects of the Flying Star Sector and formed an overwhelming army that marched toward Spider Den.
Yan Xinjian, on the other hand, commanded the disobedient space pirates as the 'Supreme Space Pirate'. In less than a year, he suppressed all the disobedient space pirates and polished them from mobsters into an unparalleled, well-disciplined force.
At that time, the secret sailing routes and jump points leading to the outside world on Spider Den had been discovered and blocked. The space pirates were isolated and had nowhere to run. They lacked reliable supplies and large industrial bases. The number, level, firepower, and defense ability of their starships were much lower than that of the coalition fleet.
Neither the new commander of the coalition fleet, the leaders of the six sects of Heavenly Saints City, nor most space pirates thought that the starship competition would have any suspense. They had thought that the final battle would take place on the ground of Spider Den, or at least in the orbit of the planet.
However, under the cover of a rarely-seen cosmic storm, Yan Xinjian had risked everything. He commanded the main force of the space pirates to bypass the majority of the coalition fleet and assault the supply fleet in the rear!
In the battle, Yan Xinjian's commanding skills were better than ever. He had the opportunity to completely crush the supply fleet, but he did not do so. Instead, he mixed himself in the supply fleet and regarded the enormous and clumsy carriers as his shields and barricades. In such a way, he restrained the main force of the coalition fleet as much as possible and lured them into the fiercest swirl of the cosmic storm, securing a miraculous victory!
This classic battle of the weak defeating the strong affected the later generations for two to three hundred years.
At the very least, by the time Li Yao and Professor Mo Xuan came to the Flying Star Sector, the six sects of Heavenly Saints City had not recovered yet and could not organize a second coalition fleet of the same scale. They had to count on the Grand Illusionary Soldiers to besiege Spider Den.
The battle today was like a duplicate of the battle years ago.
After a few rounds of probing and probing, the Great White Fleet dived into the depths of the second wave of starships of the Black Wind Fleet, using the components of the star beacons and the space gate as shields to resist the fury from 'Black Swirl'!
It was an extremely dangerous game. It was almost like a dance on the edge of a blade. While the enemy's battle formation was completely disrupted, it was also very likely that the enemy would disrupt it. One moment of carelessness, and they would be stalled by the frigates next to the star beacons, and it would be impossible for them to get away.
In the past five hundred years, or maybe a thousand years, Yan Xinjian was the only lunatic who was bold enough to employ such a tactic.
Even the countless starship commanders of the New Federation, after a hundred years of research, had to admit that such a unique, crazy tactic could not be duplicated and should not be duplicated!
It was because such a tactic to maintain a high level of calmness and control in the 'white blade charge' and to change the battle formation freely while the enemy was completely disrupted demanded too much computational ability, commanding ability, and insight into the performance of the starship. It was even innate and impossible to practice!
Any commander who was not at Yan Xinjian's level would only be asking for their own doom if they imitated his tactic recklessly.
"Yan Xinjian's sharpest sword can only be used by himself."
It was a very popular saying among the starship commanders of the Xing Yao Federation.
But today …
"No. It's not a duplicate."
Many starship specialists stared at the sharp, weird, ferocious, and unpredictable 'sword auras' on the light beam in a daze. They all exclaimed in a nightmare, "This is almost a 'strengthened version'. It's even stronger than Yan Xinjian in the past!"
In terms of personal combat ability and fleet commanding ability, Yan Xinjian was one of the most distinguished people at the edge of the cosmos in the past thousand years.
However, many starship specialists and historians believed that he had not dug out all his potentials and reached his' limits'!
On one hand, while he boasted tremendous strength, he was not in the right mind. He coveted the so-called 'secret treasures of the Imperium' on Spider Den and betrayed the six sects of Heavenly Saints City. He degenerated from a glorious Cultivator into a shameful space pirate. In the end, he was haunted by his mental devil and died miserably on the spot during his attempt to break into the Divinity Transformation Stage.
After his death, his soul was attached to countless rats, swallowing and brutalizing each other and gradually perishing in the long years. It was truly miserable.
More importantly, Yan Xinjian was born at the wrong time. When he distinguished himself, the seven Sectors of the New Federation were isolated from each other. Techniques, magical equipment, and tactics could not be communicated with each other. The experts of other Sectors did not have a chance to compete with each other, either.
The competition between the coalition fleet of the six sects of Heavenly Saints City and the fleet of space pirates was nothing more than a storm in a teapot today.
Although he was born as a dragon, it was impossible for him to soar into the sky if he grew up in a tiny pond!
Yan Xinjian was very strong, but he could have been even stronger. If he had been born one or two hundred years later, when the New Federation was clashing with the Imperium, the Holy League, and even stronger enemies, countless starship commanders and military historians of the Federation would have thought so.
But right now …
An even stronger 'Yan Xinjian' had appeared in front of them. He had recreated the style of the sword attack, but it was sharper, smoother, more natural, and even more sordid.
Yes. Sordid!
Although Yan Xinjian was known as the 'Supreme Space Pirate', he had received the strictest education of Cultivators since he was a child. He was a legitimate fleet commander.
Although his tactics were aggressive and cunning, they did not lose the discipline of an army. It was slightly different from the style of the real space pirates who fought with their beast-like instincts.
However, the Great White Fleet in front of their eyes had perfectly combined the strictness and aggressiveness of the regular army with the cunningness and keenness of the space pirates. It was like a wolf in space that was armed to the teeth!
"What has the Great White Fleet been through in the past year?"
The commanders and all the specialists looked at each other in bewilderment, unable to figure it out at all.
Even Guo Chunfeng was staring at Jin Xinyue weirdly. Bai Xingjian was nominally her top general.
"Hey, listen to me."
The two 'compatriots' who were both transformed from demons into human beings whispered to each other. Guo Chunfeng could not help but ask, "Is this Bai Xingjian Yan Xinjian's illegitimate son or something? Why didn't you mention such an important trump card in advance? "
"I don't know, either!"
Jin Xinyue was amused. "The dates don't match. When Bai Xingjian was born, Yan Xinjian had been dead for almost two hundred years. Also, even if he is an illegitimate son or a true disciple, there is no reason for him to be so strong!"
"No wonder the boy couldn't stay in the Burning Prairie Fleet."
Guo Chunfeng sighed and grinned. "I thought that he was too arrogant. Today, after witnessing his real capability, I finally realized that he couldn't have been more modest!"
At this moment, the hundred analysts inferred the changes in the next few hours based on the situation so far.
But the data that jumped out first was the capability of the commander of the Great White Fleet according to their comprehensive evaluation.
The Divinity Transformation Stage!
The guy who was commanding the Great White Fleet right now had the computational ability and commanding ability of at least the Divinity Transformation Stage!
The highest command center was caught in dead silence again. The big shots did not know whether they should cheer in joy or be dumbfounded.
In the end, it was Wan Guqing, the Speaker of the Federation, who made the final decision.
"Right now, we can't reach out to the Great White Fleet for now. But in any case, they have disrupted the rhythm of the Black Wind Fleet's attack and bought us precious time!
"The first branch fleet of the Burning Prairie Fleet must unfold the battle formation as soon as possible without caring about the cost and enter the battlefield before the combat ability of the Great White Fleet is exhausted!
"The nine Colossi in the Heaven's Artillery should be ready to enter the space battlefield at any moment!"
As soon as he said this, everyone was puzzled.
Even at the most perilous moment just now, the Colossi of the Federation had not been deployed. Right now, the Great White Fleet had arrived to save the situation, throwing the Black Wind Fleet into chaos. The situation was obviously much better now. Why were the most elite and precious forces being deployed at such a moment?
"Times have changed."
Staring at the starry light beam, Wan Guqing said, "If we can infer the capability of the Great White Fleet and the changes in the battle, the Black Wind Fleet can do the same, too.
"Right now, they are trying to combine the two units at the front and the back and complete the deployment of the defense formation before the Burning Prairie Fleet arrives. However, the Big Bai Fleet has stabbed into the gaps of their bones like a shining saber and is still stirring there!
"I'm not very good at battles of fleets, but if I were the commander of the Black Wind Fleet, I might've considered deploying my Colossi right now!"
