Chapter 1726: First glimpse of victory
Grand Marshal Charlotte continued, "According to the calculations of the Dragon Emperor system..."
In this fourth month.
We can annihilate at least 120 to 140 million enemy interstellar warships.
Let's consider our own losses, without taking into account the losses of the X-Dragon Zerg fleet.
It will be reduced to around five million interstellar warships!
Zhao Chen calculated it in his mind.
At this rate of annihilation, by the end of April, the remaining interstellar warships of the Devouring Civilization would be less than 200 million, roughly 150 million.
By then, it will be much easier to deal with it.
It's only a matter of time before they are completely eradicated.
"In addition, we will continue our offensive on other battlefields as well."
By squeezing out the enemy's combat space, we can facilitate the subsequent operations of our Wyvern Zerg Legion fleet.
Significant breakthroughs are expected in Starfield B and Starfield D by the end of the fourth month, even if they cannot control the entire territory.
But this goal can be achieved at least in the first half of May.
As for Starfield C, it is adjacent to Starfield X.
It is difficult to completely control the entire territory, but it is possible to control 90% of the area.
At that time, we can gather forces from three directions to launch an attack on the enemy's last E star system.
We anticipate securing complete victory in this sworn duel by the end of May.
Hearing Charlotte's words, Zhao Chen truly felt that victory was in sight.
At this moment, the mountain that had been weighing on Zhao Chen's back for the past few months seemed to disappear all at once.
Once the oath-taking duel ends and he absorbs the resources of the devoured civilization universe, the Dragon Star Empire will have unprecedented momentum for development.
To become a transcendent being within their own universe.
By then, even if all the other interstellar powers of the Holy Elf Empire were combined, they would still be no match for the Wraith Dragon Interstellar Empire.
And finally, they had the opportunity to get a glimpse of the power of the Order.
Zhao Chen had already figured out his plan for that time.
The first step was to drive out the conqueror civilization.
It's about driving them away, not eliminating them.
Having just experienced the war of devouring civilizations, it would be extremely difficult to completely annihilate the invading fleet of the conqueror civilization.
So, it's about driving them away.
The goal is simply to restore stability to the situation.
At that time, the Xiaolong Interstellar Empire will be recuperating and rebuilding.
While constructing a passage connecting the cosmic rift, they made contact with the Machine Race and officially brought them back.
Because the current Dragon Star Empire finally has the qualifications to directly challenge the Order.
In addition, they also needed to find that little grain of rice, the leader of the mechanical race.
These are all Zhao Chen's plans, plans that need to be completed step by step.
——————
The next vow duel will take place in the fourth month.
Just as Grand Marshal Charlotte had predicted.
At the beginning, the fleet of the Devouring Civilization collapsed like dominoes, and a chain reaction ensued.
The highest single-day loss of starships even exceeded four million interstellar warships.
It should be noted that the Wyvern Zerg fleet also suffered considerable losses in the battle.
However, as the battle continued, the speed at which the Insect Princess cultivated new Insect Nest Motherships increased daily.
Not only can the enemy's lost interstellar warships be used as food, but even their own dead Zerg motherships can become food.
Even the Xiaolong series of interstellar warships, after using some kind of bacteria to render all the crew corpses inside the starship harmless.
The vacant JF-17 starships will also become food for the Zerg mothership.
The Insect Princess trains more Insect Nest Motherships to be deployed in new battles.
It was under these circumstances that the balance of power on the battlefield began to shift at an astonishing speed.
This situation affects not only the X galaxy and the A-10 galaxy.
It also implicated other intergalactic battlefields.
After all, the situation on the battlefield can have a chain reaction.
First, in the B star system.
Starfield B was originally the main route for attacking Star System X in this X-system plan.
During the process, all the interstellar warships of the Devouring Civilization located in Starfield B were trying their best to stop it, launching continuous attacks on the Xiaolong-class interstellar warships along the route.
But what was the result?
The interstellar fleets of the Fourth and Fifth Fleets of the JF-17 Thunder Corporation successfully arrived in the X system and began the next phase of the battle.
The portion of the Dragon Legion fleet that remained in Starfield B did not give up the war.
Having completed their original combat mission, their next task was naturally to continue the attack.
During this process, a large number of interstellar legion fleets in Starfield B were diverted to support Starfield X.
This resulted in the Devouring Civilization Interstellar Legion fleet in Starfield B receiving almost no reinforcements.
By the third month, more than two-thirds of the star systems in Starfield B were under the control of the Dragon Legion fleet.
And in the fourth month, progress was made even more.
In the end, only a few star systems remained, and the remaining millions of interstellar warships that had devoured civilizations were still making their final, death throes.
The battle in the C star system can be described as the most intense fighting area outside of the X and A-10 star systems.
After the battle in the X galaxy broke out, in order to cover the battle in the X galaxy, the four Dragon Legion fleets in the C star field launched the fiercest attack.
They contributed to the annihilation of over 100 million enemy interstellar warships in the third month.
As the fourth month drew to a close, more than twenty of the thirty star systems in the C star region were under the control of the Wyvern Star Legion fleet.
The remaining ten, although still possessing interstellar warships capable of devouring civilizations, are all, without exception, in a state of war.
Then there's the D star region, which is where the 10th Legion fleet of the Falcon Dragon is bogged down due to the A-10 star system battlefield.
Progress in the D star system has been slow.
However, the Third and Ninth Fleet Groups of the JF-17 Thunder showed no signs of discouragement.
Even if they had one or two fewer fleet groups than other war zones, they continued to fight.
When the battle for the X-star system finally began, both of their fleet groups simply abandoned their original battle routes.
They aimed directly to conquer the entire D star system.
In the fourth month, the Third Legion Fleet of the JF-17 swept through ten star systems.
The Ninth Legion Fleet of the JF-17 was not far behind, and captured eight star systems.
By the end of the fourth month, twenty of the twenty-four star systems in the D star system had been taken over by the Xiaolong Legion fleet.
Only four galaxies remain, struggling to survive.
It's even possible that the D star region will become the first star region to be completely controlled by the Dragon Star Empire!
For the Dragonflight Interstellar Empire, everything is moving in a positive direction regarding this sworn duel.
The situation is not so optimistic for the other 'protagonist' in this battle.
The Black God Emperor's flagship has already quietly withdrawn from the X-system.
They returned to the safe E-star region.
The highest commanders of those civilized reinforcements also withdrew to the E star field.
However, their main fleet was still fighting on the front lines.
Withdrawing a few hundred interstellar warships is not a problem, but withdrawing tens of millions of interstellar warships is basically impossible.
They could only watch as their interstellar warships were destroyed one by one in battles against the Wyvern Legion fleet and the Wyvern Zerg Legion fleet.
They had no chance to surrender.
Because they had all pledged allegiance to the order, once they surrendered, their fate was essentially death.
Now, the Black God Emperor faces the commanders of three civilizations' reinforcements.
He was absolutely furious; you could tell he was extremely angry.
"Why is your legion's fleet retreating from the front lines?!"
Can someone explain to me why we retreated at this time?
"Do you know you're betraying your own teammates?!" Black God Emperor roared, pointing at the three of them.
But at this moment, the three of them were not in a good mood either, and no longer cared about the Black God Emperor's identity, so they gave him no kind look.
First was the representative of the Holy Maiden Civilization; beneath her veil, her disdainful aura was not concealed in the slightest.
She said bluntly, "Is it any use saying all this now?"
The situation in the A-10 and X star systems battlefields has now largely been resolved.
Our starships in these two locations are basically like fat pigs on their way to the slaughterhouse, destined only to become minced meat.
The Legion fleet in the X-system battlefield fared relatively well; they managed to withdraw some of their forces if they managed to seize the opportunity.
However, those interstellar warships that had penetrated deep behind enemy lines and were fighting in the A-10 system had absolutely no hope left.
Those are all elite legion fleets of our Holy Maiden Civilization.
Those interstellar warships perished on the battlefield.
How could I not feel bad?
I'm even starting to doubt why we came here!
And all of this responsibility should rest with you, the great Black God Emperor!
With the saintess representative of the saintly civilization leading the way, others also stopped tolerating it.
The commander representing the Soul Apostle civilization spoke in a somber voice, his tone tinged with anger.
Perhaps because he was extremely angry, his voice was no longer broken.
"Your Majesty the Black God Emperor, you should be the one explaining things to us properly."
You told us that the Xyz Dragon Interstellar Empire possesses the Zerg.
But you didn't tell us that these Zerg from the Dragon Star Empire are actually this strong!
Furthermore, it possesses the ability to directly deploy swarms of insects across the universe.
And then there are the Zerg, and all sorts of battles.
That really was the Zerg?
I have fought against the Zerg before.
But I can say that these insects from the Wyvern Star Empire are stronger than any insects I have ever seen.
I don't think I'm fighting a bunch of bugs.
Instead, they are fighting against a fleet of legions with extensive combat experience!
Moreover, their numbers are so vast, showing no fear of death whatsoever.
If you hadn't failed to inform us of these things, my Legion fleet wouldn't have suffered such heavy losses in the battle against these Zerg.
You should be held responsible for our losses!
"Your Majesty, the Black God Emperor!"
The representative of the law enforcement civilization looked coldly at the Black God Emperor, his tone less angry compared to the others.
But there was no emotional fluctuation on his face.
He stared at the Black God Emperor and said coldly, "I don't deny that the outcome of this battle has little to do with you."
The fighting power of the Dragon Star Empire is beyond imagination.
But what I want to say is that ultimately, someone has to take responsibility for the outcome of a war.
I believe this is all your responsibility.
Hearing the accusations from these three people.
The Black God Emperor laughed uncontrollably, then said, "Good, good, good."
It is my responsibility.
It's my responsibility, okay?
But is now the time to talk about these things?
If it is my responsibility, I am willing to personally apologize before the Great Order after this battle ends.
But the most important thing now is how to win this battle.
Don't forget!
This is a duel by oath, not some random interstellar war.
You know the outcome of your sworn duel!
Upon hearing the Black God Emperor's hysterical words, the three commanders fell silent.
They knew all this, and they knew what the consequences would be.
But to be honest, they are also quite wary of the Xiaolong Interstellar Empire.
They all had some doubts: was this Xiaolong Interstellar Empire really just a T6 interstellar civilization?
Is it really just an interstellar civilization that has been developing for more than ten years?
They even suspected that behind this Dragonflight interstellar empire, there might be a similarly ordered T7 interstellar civilization supporting it.
If that's the case, then all the strength that the Dragon Star Empire currently possesses makes sense.
However, these questions are unlikely to be answered for them at present.
Now, they are faced with this sworn duel.
And the fate of swallowing up civilization.
"We have lost the battle on the battlefield of Galaxy X!"
But this is just one battle.
We still have the E-Star Domain; we still have a chance to fight back.
Now we have seen all of the trump cards of the Xiaolong Interstellar Empire.
Their elite fleet, their super flagship.
We've already seen their Wyvern Zerg fleet.
They've already used all their trump cards.
Now, all you need to do is draw a portion of your legion fleets from your respective civilizations.
Each... each only needs fifty million interstellar warships.
We are fully capable of launching a counterattack and turning the current situation around.
Hearing the Black God Emperor's request.
The three envoys from the civilizations remained silent for a moment.
First, the Holy Maiden Messenger of the Holy Maiden Civilization spoke: "I cannot give an answer to your request."
I need to contact our civilization first.
Me too.
On our side, we are at war with another civilization, driven by the mandate of order.
We previously deployed 40 million interstellar warships to support your battlefield, Emperor Black God; that was already a huge sacrifice.
"We need to discuss sending another fifty million interstellar warships," said the envoy from the Law Enforcer civilization.
"Give me a little time to report this," said the representative of the Soul Apostle civilization.
After that, the three figures disappeared.
In this space, only the lonely figure of the Black God Emperor remained.
