On the Arteya Star, Xiao Ran received the report not long after Tetsuya's side started fighting.
A hodgepodge of thirty fleets, a pilot suspected to be a Legendary-level pilot. From the initial shock when he first received the report to the boredom after reading it, the entire change in mood took only a few seconds.
After reading the report seriously, Xiao Ran did not take the matter of the encounter to heart. After all, there were more than two hundred super-sized warships and even more super-sized combat troops. So what if there was only one suspected Mythical-level pilot? Even if the final battlefield evolved into an asteroid system, it still could not pose any fatal threat to Tetsuya's team.
The Mythical-level compared to the S-level, but Tetsuya's fleet had more than one S-level existence. Xiao Ran did not need to worry at all.
He shook his head and said to the person who came to deliver the news, "Inform everyone about this matter. Tetsuya's side has come into contact with the Anti- Burning Legion Alliance. As for the specific situation, wait until the battle over there is over. Tetsuya will explain it personally. Those who want to listen to the report can join by themselves. After that, Tetsuya will organize a detailed report and distribute it."
He nodded and said, "Well, I'll inform them right away. There's one more thing. The logistics department reported that the consumption of materials is very large and needs to be replenished as soon as possible. Their field investigation results showed that we can't reach the level of self-sufficiency in a short period of time. We have to replenish enough materials from outside to maintain the standard of supplies above the normal level."
Xiao Ran pondered for a moment. "I've already read the report on this matter. The consumption of food is indeed not small. It will take at least a few months to reach the level of self-sufficiency. This time, we are indeed a little underprepared. There's no stronghold support, and all the consumption is supplied by the reserve materials. It's understandable that we are not well prepared."
"I've also thought about the channels to obtain materials. The entire galaxy is so big, and it's actually very easy to provide for such a small number of people. However, if we are to prepare by ourselves, it will be necessary to allocate a lot of manpower to this matter. But this is secondary. Planting and breeding are things that the logistics department should worry about. It's also not appropriate to let the soldiers carry guns and hunt everywhere in the galaxy."
"At present, the progress on Earth is not very fast, so it's not realistic to control and use the manpower there to provide us with materials in a short period of time. Most of the materials on Uzzes and Rabir now also need to be provided by this side. The situation on Arteya Star is that it will take a few months to reach the point of self-sufficiency."
"Originally, I wanted to see if I could send a team to the universe that the Gra Empire has yet to conquer, to look for other countries and civilizations to trade with. If I could find a few trading partners, then the daily consumption of our people would not be worth mentioning."
"But this time, Tetsuya's report mentioned that the people of the Anti- Burning Legion Alliance seem to be plundering the warships and materials of the Gra Empire. I think we can do the same. You should also inform the teams that go out to collect as much materials as possible in the future. Also, the matter of looking for civilizations to trade should be carried out simultaneously. Let the logistics department handle this matter. You can also see who can help them."
After taking note of this matter, he asked again, "What about the new race on Arteya Star?"
Arteya Star was the planet of Princess Alola, which was also the place where Xiao Ran and the others were now. Princess Alola's country was destroyed 10,000 years ago, and since then, the planet had been without a true master. But in the past 10,000 years, a new race had appeared. They were very short, and had something very similar to a sheep's horn on their head. They were intelligent and worshipped Princess Alola as the Lion Goddess. At the same time, the overall character of this race was quite gentle and brave, which was also discovered by the Burning Legion in the process of continuous investigation and development of this planet.
Xiao Ran said, "It's better to let Princess Alola handle this matter. There are two things. First, hire them to provide us with materials and labor, and also choose them as trading partners. Second, migrate all the discovered races to farther places. Tell them that there is a high possibility of war and possible dangers in the future, and let our people provide them with more assistance."
After that, Xiao Ran looked at Tetsuya and asked, "Is there anything else?"
Tetsuya shook his head, "I don't think so."
Xiao Ran nodded and said, "Actually, you can handle this matter on your own. There's no need to report it to me and let me arrange it."
Tetsuya smiled gently and did not answer. She said to Xiao Ran, "Then I'll go down and inform them."
"Okay," Xiao Ran replied, "Go."
There were not many battles now, but there were a lot of miscellaneous matters. Xiao Ran had to deal with a lot of miscellaneous matters every day. Although most of the miscellaneous matters did not necessarily reach his level to deal with, with the huge number of miscellaneous matters in the Burning Legion, there were naturally a lot of them that required his personal approval.
On Earth, Uzzes and Rebil did not enter Earth on a large scale, but only sent a small force to infiltrate Earth, which was led by Cain and his Demon Envoy.
Through the infiltration of the forces on Earth, the Burning Legion also obtained a lot of information about this world's Earth. As an overall force that had been unified for many years, it had not been long since they created a new type of spacecraft. As a whole, they had shown an active openness to the outside world, and had been working hard to explore the entire solar system.
Due to the trend of overall governance and peace over the years, the population on Earth had experienced an explosive growth. According to the law of development, the next step was to open up the universe and find another place to colonize that could reduce the pressure on Earth. It was a transition period between the old and the new era.
As for the internal situation on Earth, there were a lot of things. For example, some people in the management level were fond of grandiose achievements, and in order to prepare for the next period of expansion, the phenomenon of militarism still existed. Basically, it was a special situation in this special period. Most of Earth's resources were invested in space exploration projects, and many schools were built to train future explorers. The few young men and women selected by the Five-Headed Lion came from such schools.
The lack of resources had also become a normal phenomenon in this period. In fact, even if they really controlled Earth, there were only two aspects of benefits that could be discussed. The first was food. Relatively speaking, 20 million people was not much compared to the current population of Earth, and the supply of food was indeed a normal part of the supply.
The second was personnel. If the Burning Legion needed to do something that required a lot of personnel, such as building a large space fortress, looking for new soldiers, and so on, they could recruit a lot of people from Earth. However, there was really no other place that could provide additional support to the Burning Legion. In fact, Earth was a rather weak place.
If there was no Burning Legion, under normal circumstances, and without the Five-Headed Lion, the Gra Empire would quickly discover Earth and then invade. With the current military size of Earth, if it was in the internal environment of Earth, they really had the ability to fight against the Gra Empire. However, it was only a single battle. The military scale and overall strength of Earth was too far away from the Gra Empire.
And after comparing the information collected, Earth's technology was still very different from the mainstream technology in the universe. The mainstream technology in the universe was mainly energy technology, and the core was a special mineral with high-intensity energy. Whether it was Althea from 10,000 years ago or the current Gra Empire, they all used this kind of energy crystal. Just a small piece of crystal could provide a very large amount of energy.
It just so happened that Earth did not have this kind of energy source, and even the entire solar system did not exist. What's more, the Gra Empire was already a universe-level force 10,000 years ago, and Earth had only entered the universe for a short period of time.
About half an hour after leaving, the red light on Xiao Ran's table flashed. With a light tap, a screen appeared on the table, and Mary's figure also appeared on the screen.
"Tetsuya has turned on a remote video call. Do you want to start now?"
"Let's start now. Inform the fleet commander." Xiao Ran tapped another virtual button to allow himself to be connected to the communication. After the image changed, Xiao Ran also saw Tetsuya standing on the other side of the screen.
Zeng Jia and Alssam were standing behind Tetsuya. The three of them raised their hands and saluted at the same time. "Lord Xiao Ran."
Xiao Ran nodded. "Yes, wait a moment. The meeting will start in five minutes."
"Understood."
Five minutes passed very quickly, and all the people who were supposed to be connected to the video conference were connected. Tetsuya's report officially began.
At the beginning, Tetsuya explained how the fleet had encountered the other party and the situation at that time. Xiao Ran had already seen this report before and could completely ignore it. He mainly focused on the content at the back.
"Among the 30 warships owned by the other party, most of them were standard warships of the Gra Empire. The entire fleet's mix and match style is very heavy, and there are no standard characteristics. It can be determined that this fleet is a mixed fleet made up of 25 divisions. In the battle, Zeng Jia took the lead to fight the enemy's mythical pilot.
"I will forward the data of the airframe to you in the form of a report later, but I can't determine what level the other party belongs to among the mythical pilots and what level they are in the other party's alliance. This time, the fleet encountered can be confirmed to have one mythical pilot and three legendary pilots.
"The three legendary pilots showed superior strength compared to ordinary A-grade pilots. It requires close to S-grade pilots to be able to compete with them in a one-on-one situation. The mythical pilot was finally entangled by Zeng Jia, Alssam, and the SRX team. He did not show too much strength, and we can't rule out the possibility that the other party is also preserving their strength.
"From the other party's actions and fleet composition, it can be determined that the number of warships owned by the other party may not be too large. Even if they have a certain number of warships, the number of warships that can perform ultra-long distance jumps should be small. The purpose of attacking the Gra Empire is to plunder warships and resources. This can show their urgency for warships.
"In this battle, in order to hide their strength, all the battles were fought by our own ship. The main cannon destroyed more than two-thirds of the enemy's warships, and the airframe combat also eliminated more than half of the enemy's warships. After the enemy's mythical pilot burst out, Zeng Jia and the others chose to take the initiative to retreat and did not further pressure them. In the end, three enemy warships, mythical pilots, two legendary pilots, and several low-level pilots escaped."
Xiao Ran pondered for a moment before asking, "Did you track their escape route?"
Tie Zai replied, "No, I did send out a drone, but it was destroyed by the other party. There was no chance for the drone to get close to the three warships that the other party escaped."
Xiao Ran said, "Yes. After that, you will sort out the detailed reports and all the records of the battle and send them back. The General Staff will use this information to determine the enemy's strength. However, your analysis shouldn't be wrong. The enemy lacks warships, especially warships with warp jump capabilities. This is something we predicted beforehand."
Xiao Ran knocked on the table and said, "But now that we know that the other party lacks warships and has set their sights on the Gra Empire, we can't do nothing and wait for them to develop freely. Next, we have to make some changes in our actions."
"Lebil, transfer your fleet from Earth and let Uzzes continue to be in charge of Earth's affairs. As for the direction of the transfer, get closer to the border of the Gra Empire's territory. Uzzes, you have to speed up on your side. I will see the first batch of living materials delivered in a week."
The images of the two people whose names were called appeared on the new screen. They nodded to indicate that there were no problems.
"All ten operational fleets, I need you to be more aggressive. Launch more attacks on the factories, energy areas, and resource gathering areas of the Gra Empire. Do this whether the other party has discovered you or not. It's better if they have discovered you. They will definitely know that it was their intention that caused us to launch such aggressive attacks. This way, it will be inevitable for them to obtain more warships before we destroy them."
"Once they are forced into a corner, they will take the initiative to expose themselves. They will either choose to intercept and attack you directly or increase the intensity of their attacks. What we need to do is to find them and gradually nibble away at them."
"Other than Lebil's fleet, I will also mobilize Big Tie, Jay, and Vry's fleets. Choose a time to set off. The three of you will coordinate with each other and take down the Gra Empire. The operation will be set for two weeks later. So, the ten operational fleets, how much you can do in these two weeks will represent how much advantage we can gain and how much information we can gather. You must make them anxious and afraid, understand?"
"Understood!"
