"There's news."
Mary hurried over to Xiao Ran and sat down in front of him. "The recon drones we sent out have confirmed the whereabouts of the warships that escaped earlier. All of them appeared in one place, and we've already compared the location of that place."
Xiao Ran raised his head and put down the pen in his hand. "Where is it?"
Mary said, "The Southern Cross Cantilever. It's still very far from here, but it happens to be in the territory of the Gra Empire."
"In other words, the enemy has been hiding in the Gra Empire all this time, and not wandering outside the Gra Empire's territory?"
"Yes."
Xiao Ran nodded and paused for a moment before asking, "Which fleet is the closest to them?"
Mary said, "If we're talking about location, it's Rabir. We'll be able to make contact with them in two days."
"Okay." Xiao Ran stood up and paced back and forth. "Let Rabir begin attacking the Gra Empire. Jay, Vry, and Big Tie's fleet continue to remain silent. No, let Jay, Vry, and Rabir meet up with Rabir and tail them silently. Remind Rabir to be careful in case of a sneak attack, but there's no need to set the target at the location we've confirmed. Just push all the way there."
"Inform Uzzes to temporarily hand over his work to Cain and lead the fleet to the location of Rabir's fleet. Keep a distance and tail them. We'll meet up with Rabir as well."
Mary asked, "Are we going to fight? Don't we need to gather more information? "
Xiao Ran's arrangement was clearly to confront the enemy. After confirming the enemy's location, of course, they had to go over and show their presence and congratulate them on settling down in their new home. However, rushing over like this was a little too reckless. After all, they did not even have more accurate information on the enemy.
"We don't have to fight. We're doing this to gather information on the enemy." Xiao Ran shook his head and said, "Moreover, there's no time to lose. Only after a battle can the other side reveal more of their strength. We don't necessarily have to fight them head-on. It's also feasible to harass them."
"If they take the initiative to reveal more of their strength, then we'll do our best to fight them once. In short, no matter how many people they send, we must send exactly the same number of people as they do. We'll boil the frog in warm water until the limit of their combat strength is squeezed out."
"Our main goal this time is to show our face. Let Rabir lure them in from the front. If there's a chance, we'll exhaust their strength. Then, we'll find the enemy's warship factory and destroy it. If the enemy is too strong, then we'll retreat and launch an ultra-long-range attack. I've never doubted the strength of our army in this war. The final victor will definitely be us."
"But what I want is not a victory with too many sacrifices. That kind of victory can only be called a defeat. What I want is for them to feel deeply powerless from the beginning to the end, as if they have nowhere to put their strength. I want them to lose in grievance. I want them to see us, but they can't touch us. The more they chase us, the more losses they will suffer. The more they want to fight, the more powerless they will become. In short, I want them to feel the pressure we bring them. I want to force them to find an ally in this universe, an ally that they think is strong enough to contend with us."
Mary nodded. Sometimes, no matter how much information they gathered, it would not be as good as directly attacking them. They could gather more information the last time. Now that they had found the location of the enemy's base camp, it was indeed time to test it out.
Standing up, Mary said to Xiao Ran, "I'll go inform them and arrange the departure work while I'm at it."
"Okay."
Half an hour later, everyone in Mary's fleet that was still on Arthea suddenly felt their personal gadgets vibrate violently. Without needing to take out their gadgets to confirm the cause of the vibration, everyone quickly put down what they were doing and went to work.
Under everyone's serious preparation, the departure work of the fleet was quickly arranged. Homestead Fortress would remain on Arthea, including all the departments and defensive forces in the fortress. Arthea could not be abandoned. It had been confirmed as the base of the Burning Legion in this world, and the logistics department had to worry about the consumption of the legion's living materials, so naturally, they had to stay to deal with the agricultural tasks.
The operation this time was not a siege mission, but a harassment mission that required them to leave as quickly as possible. It was not suitable to bring the Homestead Fortress along with them. Although it could provide some defense and firepower support for the army, it would be more useful if they left it behind.
As the fleet departed, the entire fleet began to get busy. They began to perform self-checks on every mech they were responsible for to prepare for the battle that would come at any time. Mary's fleet also took some time to appear behind Rebil's fleet. Once Rebil's fleet came into contact with the enemy, they would be able to arrive at the battlefield within a minute and provide assistance to Rebil's fleet.
Mary's fleet was the first to arrive at the target. Vry Jay and Uzzes arrived a few hours later and a day later respectively. They gathered beside Mary's fleet and moved forward silently while remaining invisible, leaving Rebil's fleet to take the lead alone.
By now, everyone knew that the base of the Anti- Burning Legion Alliance was likely to be not far from them. And this journey would be a journey of battle. Many people were already rubbing their hands in anticipation of the time when both sides would come into contact.
With the strength of a single Burning Legion fleet, it was not difficult for them to push all the way to the Gra Empire. This large-scale invasion was not the same as the small skirmishes before. Even those small skirmishes had caused the Gra Empire incalculable losses. But this large-scale operation really hurt the Gra Empire.
After Rebil's continuous advance for almost half a month, they wiped out all the Gra Empire's forces along the way. Several planets were also liberated from the Burning Legion's rule by the Burning Legion. This action, coupled with the actions of the Burning Legion and the Anti- Burning Legion Alliance, finally caused the Gra Empire to explode in the process of Rebil's fleet advancing alone and brazenly.
Half a month after the start of the war, the Gra Empire used the power of the entire empire to gather countless armies. The number of space fortresses alone was no less than 50, and the number of warships of various sizes exceeded the size of Rebil's fleet of over 2000 warships.
The shape of those space fortresses was also quite unique, just like the umbrella-shaped warships of the Burning Legion. Most of the 50 space fortresses had a similar structure, but they were not umbrella-shaped. Instead, they had a large round pancake as a front defensive shield. It had to be said that this round pancake's defensive power was indeed very strong. Normal warship cannons could not even leave a mark on this defense.
Countless battleships carried countless space combat jets and armors, but these weren't their main fighting force. The Gra Empire used their resources to create a large number of mechas with different shapes and sizes, and their abilities were also strange and strange, causing people to scratch their heads in confusion.
The number of these gigantic mechas was also very large. There were close to 100 Legendary mechas, and there were even 2-3 Mythic mechas. Their appearance was very domineering, and they looked like bosses. The number of Epic mechas below Legendary was even more.
After all, the Gra Empire was a universal organization that had been developing for ten thousand years. Although it was nothing compared to the Burning Legion and the Anti-Burning Legion Alliance from another world, the foundation that they had accumulated was definitely not to be underestimated. As an emperor who had ruled over a galaxy for ten thousand years, and in addition to the existence of magic in this world, the Gra Empire definitely had plenty of good things and powerful treasures in their hands.
Moreover, even if they had forcefully built up such a force, it was definitely not all that the Gra Empire could do now. For such a long time, the emperor of the Gra Empire had tolerated the Burning Legion and the Anti- Burning Legion Alliance's unscrupulous actions because he was certain that the two armies had extremely high level and combat power. During this period of time, if it was not for the sake of developing and gathering such a force, how could he just swallow his anger and do nothing?
The former emperor of the Benguela Empire was still planning to continue increasing his reserves, but the actions of Rabel's fleet made him feel even more threatened. If he did not stop them now, Rabel's fleet would send them all the way to the capital planet. The prestige of the entire Benguela Empire in the Milky Way would be destroyed by this fleet.
When such a huge fleet of the Gra Empire appeared, the people of the Burning Legion were not too surprised. They were only a little surprised that the Gra Empire was able to gather such a force in such a short period of time. This only showed that the Gra Empire's foundation was indeed very strong.
On the other hand, the Anti- Burning Legion Alliance was also paying attention to Rabel's fleet. From the beginning, they had discovered that Rabel's fleet was advancing in a straight line. Moreover, according to the direction that Rabel's fleet was advancing, it was very likely that they would find their stronghold soon. How could they not pay attention to the movements of Rabel's fleet?
For the people of the Anti- Burning Legion Alliance, they were very surprised to see that Rabel's fleet had battleships of this scale. The key was that all these battleships did not look like they were pieced together. The entire fleet was completely self-contained and had a unified style. This meant that the Burning Legion had the ability to build their own battleships. Moreover, they had a very advanced technological reserve. Moreover, they had all the necessary conditions to be able to build a battleship of this scale. In the end, they speculated that the Burning Legion had a large universe as their faction territory.
After knowing this, the black-haired man from before began to feel a little jealous. This time, the Burning Legion was just a pretense, a primer. It just so happened that they were preparing to use the Burning Legion as an example. Who asked the Burning Legion to destroy his subordinate legions in a previous mission?
The key was that it was not just one legion that was destroyed, but a few smaller legions that were more or less related to his legion. This greatly affected the black-haired man's legion's income.
Therefore, using the opportunity of declaring war on the Burning Legion, he deliberately pulled in other legions that had some grudges with the Burning Legion to start this war. The purpose of this war was to be able to enter a world with a large universe background. This was also the faction territory that his legion currently needed. For this, the black-haired man actually paid a price, just in case.
Before the war, he thought that the Burning Legion would pull in some helpers or ask for help from their backer. The Burning Legion was so mischievous, reckless, and hateful, but until now, they were still safe and sound. This gave people the impression that the Burning Legion must have another huge legion supporting them. It was natural to think this way. After all, the Burning Legion was too unknown and had only appeared for a short time. Under normal circumstances, it was impossible for them to develop to an unimaginable level.
He did not expect that the Burning Legion did not find any helpers or backers. They jumped out and accepted the war on their own. At that time, the black-haired man knew that the strength of the Burning Legion did not depend on anyone but themselves.
But after all, he did not really value the Burning Legion. After all, his legion was one of the largest legions in the super area. His strength was also one of the best in the super area. He could not wait for the Burning Legion to last a little longer. It would be best if they could fight to the death with the idiot legions. First, he could clean up the mess last. Second, he would have enough time to arrange the faction territory. Third, he could weaken the idiot legions' strength and force them to join his legion.
It could be said that the black-haired man had thought about what he wanted to do and what he wanted to achieve from the very beginning. He had calculated everything, but he did not take into account the Burning Legion's strength and foundation. After seeing the Burning Legion's fleet, the black-haired man was jealous. As the leader of a huge legion, he could not get a faction territory with a big universe background. But this f * cker, who came out of nowhere, had the ability to create a fleet of such a scale.
Not only was he jealous, but it also made the black-haired man determined that he must completely destroy the Burning Legion. Then, he would use the victory of this war to take the faction territory of the Burning Legion into his own hands.
When the Rebil fleet and the larger fleet of the Gra Empire were about to come into contact, the black-haired man also made his move. He gathered all his forces and was ready to go. Not only did he want to defeat the Burning Legion, but he also wanted to capture the Burning Legion and eat the entire fleet of the Gra Empire.
