Chapter 1262 - 353: Preparation, the New Round of Operations (2)

It can help him analyze the situation of the war and the movements of the Mechanical Race’s various actions.

In fact, the Mechanical Race is sustained by the Mechanical Queen as a core personality.

Of course, Chen Ming can understand the Mechanical Race’s thoughts through the Mechanical Queen.

Moreover, as the war progressed, Chen Ming increasingly understood the power held by him, the Mechanical Race, and the Empire, gaining more and more detailed war data.

The more detailed the data, the more content the Mechanical Queen can analyze, closer to the reality.

And based on the current situation, the Mechanical Queen analyzed the war situation and judgment.

The Mechanical Race is indeed preparing to inflict as much damage as possible on the Empire before annihilation.

But a greater possibility.

Is that all arrangements and deployments by the Mechanical Race in the war are aimed at Chen Ming.

No matter who is placed in the position against the Mechanical Race.

Faced with a choice between eliminating part of the Empire’s living forces before inevitable destruction or taking down Chen Ming, who poses a comprehensive threat to the Mechanical Race, the latter will certainly be chosen.

No matter how the Mechanical Race tries to show a desire to desperately fight the Empire and deploy forces to the frontline against the Empire.

Chen Ming cannot completely let go of his vigilance.

He trusts the analysis of the Mechanical Queen, but he also believes he has the ability to achieve his goals against the Mechanical Race.

The Mechanical Race knows that Chen Ming has a Mechanical Queen and knows that Chen Ming is interested in certain existences within their star realm.

So the current situation is that Chen Ming and the Mechanical Race’s thoughts are basically transparent to each other.

It’s just a matter of who makes the first wrong move in this open confrontation.

The Empire’s current actions are more like a countdown.

Forcing Chen Ming and the Mechanical Race to decide the winner before the countdown reaches its end.

Because if the Empire completely occupies the Mechanical Race star realm, the Mechanical Race will have no chance to kill Chen Ming, and Chen Ming will have no opportunity to seize what he needs.

Robbing from the Mechanical Race and robbing from the Empire are obviously not the same thing.

If looking from the most fundamental aspect, Chen Ming is not afraid at all.

He has been undefeated from the beginning.

As long as he has no aspirations, he cannot lose.

But he has aspirations.

So he is still somewhat worried about one thing happening.

That the Mechanical Race might move the Destruction Carrier to the frontline against the Empire, making him lose the possibility of acquiring Destruction.

However, these issues are for later; at least currently, the Mechanical Race has no plans to do so.

They still hope to rely on their own strength to retaliate against the Empire.

And the Empire is also constantly deploying and adjusting military defenses to respond to the Mechanical Race’s attacks.

Although the war has started, almost every star system on the border has devices to detect transition fluctuations, and fleets are stationed in every star realm.

Although it might not necessarily stop the Mechanical Race’s attack, it can at least delay them for some time.

As long as the Mechanical Race invades, they can be detected and blocked immediately.

Sufficient time to hold until fleet reinforcements transition and arrive.

In recent days, the Mechanical Race’s attacks have suffered almost no losses.

Especially after the fighting force from Benou joined the war.

As the Empire’s war machine gradually started operating, a large amount of military force arrived at the border, fortifying the border’s strength.

And since the Empire’s initial intent was to ensure a certain victory in this war, the preparation of military forces was quite sufficient.

Resulting in the current situation, where considering the Mechanical Race’s performance, the Empire needs to worry not about how much military force is needed to achieve the Empire’s goals, but instead, there are not enough enemies to allocate to them.

Originally thought the front lines would extend, and the war would develop in the direction of the Empire surrounding the whole Mechanical Race star realm, needing a large number of troops, also requiring part of the troops to be stationed at the border of the Dusk Star Realm to prevent Dusk from causing trouble.

But now, the situation is that the Empire’s vanguard has pierced into the Mechanical Race star realm like a nail.

The Mechanical Race has no choice but to shrink their defense lines again and again, completely abandoning the frontier, shrinking like a turtle.

At the same time, probing the Empire’s forces with a small fleet.

Leaving a large number of Empire troops with no capability to employ effectively.

Of course, the scale of the Mechanical Race star realm is there, and the Empire winning battles does not necessarily mean occupation, which is also a consideration in this war.

And the Empire’s aim from the beginning has not been to win, but to seize.

Thus, the overall pace of the war between the Empire and the Mechanical Race hasn’t changed much compared to before.

It still aims for a slow advance to occupy the Mechanical Race star realm and has even slowed down somewhat.

The Mechanical Race’s retreat still holds some effectiveness; the deeper the Empire’s fleet penetrates within the Mechanical Race star realm, the stronger the defensive forces.

So the Empire’s choice is to continue increasing the offensives on the frontline.

Not giving the Mechanical Race any chance to breathe.

And several backup fleets near the border are always ready for transition reinforcement to areas under surprise attack by the Mechanical Race.

For the Mechanical Race, the war genuinely is just a slow death.

There is one issue Chen Ming has never fully understood.

Where did the Mechanical Race’s reinforcements go?

Besides the frontline war, the Empire has been continuously active in the rear.

Right after Lu Bai took down the Mechanical Race Mother Ship.

Chen Ming received news from the civilians about the Empire’s published military achievements report.
