"Thank you for your hard work, Captain Vry." Xiao Ran sat in the cockpit and completely ignored Cruzet's words. Instead, he noticed Captain Vry beside Cruzet nodding slightly and asked, "How's the situation over there?"
"If you're just going to ignore me like that, then it's really sad." Cruzet shook his head and spread his hands. "We've brought you some good news."
Xiao Ran raised his eyebrows slightly when he heard Cruzet's words. According to the original plan, when the Frontier led another team to the Federation's other fortress, the two ships would maintain necessary communication. Because the Phantom Heretics were all on this side, the attack on that side was only a temporary illusion. The purpose was to split the Federation's forces.
Once the battle started, the Frontier would directly jump to the battlefield on the side of the Galactic Songstress and launch a surprise attack on the Federation's forces from the side or the rear. Of course, the surprise attack depended on the situation. If they could end the battle with a deterrence, that would be the best, but if the enemy did not choose to surrender after the Frontier appeared, the Frontier would also launch the attack that had been fully charged and eliminate most of the enemies once again.
After the battle on this side was over, the two battleships would head to the other side to continue the battle. With the two Macoross class battleships and the participants, as well as the Phantom Heretics that were brought along along the way, they would definitely have the ability to clash head-on with the other side of the fortress. Obtaining the final victory was also within expectations. However, when Kreutzer suddenly brought along a piece of good news, it wasn't hard for Xiao Ran to guess that the battle on the other side had already ended.
However, looking at Cruzet's expression, it seemed like he would not answer if he did not ask personally, so Xiao Ran could only take the initiative to ask, "What's the good news?"
"Hehe." Cruzet smiled slightly. After making a small joke, he did not intend to continue. Instead, he directly said to Xiao Ran, "The war in the universe has ended. The last of the Federation's forces have been destroyed. Only a few defeated soldiers are left."
Xiao Ran frowned and was a little surprised. "How did you get there so quickly?"
Cruzet spread his hands slightly. Instead, Captain Vry continued, "We did not reach the target fortress. The other fortress of the Federation was thrown out to attract our attention. If we did not send the Skeleton Squad to scout ahead, Brown City would have fallen into the Federation's hands."
Captain Vry's words. Xiao Ran immediately understood what the fleet led by the Frontier had encountered. He could not help but break out in cold sweat.
Although Captain Jeffrey didn't say much, Xiao Ran had already thought of the whole process. Just before the Frontier led the fleet to the fortress, the Skeleton Squad had investigated that the fortress didn't have the slightest bit of defense. Therefore, there was no need to say where the other half of the Federation's fleet went. Of course, it was the current capital of the Federation, Brown City.
On the Frontier, there was the old fox Vry and the ruthless Cruzet. It was not difficult to guess the Federation's plan. They threw out the fortress as a target and let the Frontier deal with it. The fleets that were supposed to gather in front of the fortress went around the fleet led by the Frontier to Brown City. It was fine if the fortress was lost, but if Brown City was conquered by the Federation, the biggest logistics base would be gone. Then, Xiao Ran and the others would face a very dangerous situation.
After the Skeleton Squad's report, Vry and Cruzet immediately led the fleet back to Brown City. They stopped the Federation's fleet not far from the Moon. The two sides immediately engaged in battle. One side was focused on attacking Brown City, while the other side had to stop the Federation's fleet.
But after all, the two sides were on opposite sides. The Moon was also on the side of the battlefield. There was no way they could effectively intercept the Federation's fleet. Under such circumstances, especially when Cruzet was on the Frontier, there was no way he would hold back in the battle. He would definitely use all his firepower to annihilate the Federation's fleet.
Xiao Ran nodded silently. "How are the casualties?"
"Not too big. This is because we used weapons other than the large reactive round." Captain Vry shook his head. He said apologetically, "That's why the enemy's fleet that surrendered is less than 40% of the original number."
"Large MDE round?" Xiao Ran shook his head slightly. He did not expect to reveal the true trump card of this mission in advance at such a time.
Previously, he had displayed all kinds of crushing, space jumping, and particle transformation as a participant time and time again. Camilla's Final Waltz, Law and Barsad's Super Overlord Movie Bomb, the Milky Way Songstress' MACROSS Cannon, and so on, could be said to be used unscrupulously, and there was no fear of being targeted.
Because these were never the final trump card against the world intruders. The only trump card was the large reactive round. Only the large MDE round was the big gift that Xiao Ran left for the world intruders.
The large reaction projectile was not the standard model carried by a fighter, nor was it the smaller reaction projectile launched by the Milky Way Geisha as an ordinary missile. It was the real high-yield reaction projectile. It was a real nuclear weapon of mass destruction, and it was also the weapon that the new unified army in the Transdimensional Fortress strictly required to use. This kind of missile was comparable to the size of a fighter transformed into a human form. Even a battleship like the Frontier did not have many launch holes of this model. A single large reaction projectile might not have much effect, but there were large and small missiles in a dense cluster. Once the waves of missiles were launched, one could imagine how terrifying the power would be once they exploded.
It was the same for the large MDE round. Currently, the MDE rounds produced by the 25th Fleet were roughly divided into three types. The first was the MDE round used by the Gatling Cannon. Once it hit the target, it would form a small dimensional collapse that would completely engulf the target. Even the toughest defense could be ignored. It could be said that if one were to be swept by this round, even the Justice Gundam would not be able to withstand it.
The second type was the standard miniature missile used by the fighter and battleship. Every time it exploded, it would also form a small black hole. This small black hole was about the size of the explosion range of a high-explosive round. It could engulf and attract everything within and around it. If one's propulsion was not enough to escape the attraction, the only result of being hit was death.
The third type was the large MDE round, which was similar to the large reactive round. This was the weapon used by Captain Vry and the others. Once the missile exploded, although it could not reach the range of the large reactive round, it was still relatively large. It would not be a problem for it to engulf a scattered fleet. The original form of the MDE round was the Dimensional Devourer. Every large MDE round was equivalent to a Dimensional Devourer with limited power, so there was naturally no need to elaborate on the effects.
However, other than the MDE round and the standard MDE round, which was the miniature missile, which was relatively cheap to produce, the cost of each large MDE round was relatively high. Xiao Ran had to pay at least 50,000 war achievement points for every missile that was brought out from the fleet, and that was the cost price. However, for the sake of the unknown intruders, Xiao Ran still prepared some for the two battleships.
However, Xiao Ran had never thought of using these weapons in the hands of the Federation. After all, Xiao Ran believed that the Federation would belong to him sooner or later, and the low-level soldiers of the Federation were a group of helpless tools that could only be controlled by certain people. Other than not wanting to cause more casualties, he also felt that it was too wasteful.
Since they had already been used, Xiao Ran could not blame Captain Vry and Cruzet for it. He also understood why the battle ended so quickly.
"It's okay. Since we've already prepared a lot for this mission, so be it." Xiao Ran shook his head. He really did not care about the MDE round that had been used at all. Putting aside whether it was one, two, or three, even if they had used a few more MDE rounds, it was still not as important as Brown City.
After leaving the fleet of the Unified Army to receive them, Xiao Ran returned to the Moon with the Milky Way Singer. After completing its mission, the Frontier naturally headed towards Earth again, but this time, it took away a total of 70 Phantom Heretics, leaving only 30 Phantom Heretics for use in space.
A battle that should have resulted in heavy casualties on both sides ended peacefully with the participation of the two battleships, the Milky Way Songstress and the Frontier, as well as a group of participants. The decisive battle ended with the Unified Army occupying the entire universe, while the Federation, apart from a few stray cats, had completely lost the ability to control the universe.
When the upper echelons of the Federation on Earth received the news, a few of them were so angry that they fainted. However, after waking up, all their anger turned into fear for the Unified Army in a very short time, and they were at a loss for the future. An accident in space would inevitably mean a failure on Earth. In a universe without the Federation Army, most of the space troops of the Unified Army could be converted into ground troops to fight against the Federation. With the current strength of the Unified Army, it was only a matter of how long the Federation could last.
Some of the more quick-witted people began to think when they saw that the situation was hopeless. Even factions like the Privileged Faction, who were completely tied to the Federation, began to secretly contact the Unified Army, let alone other people. The failure of the war in space also meant that the Federation's last shred of dignity no longer existed. The barely united army's morale collapsed again because of the actions of these people.
