The seventh day of the annihilation campaign by the Dragon Empire against the Devouring Civilization interstellar fleet trapped within its territory.

Dragon Emperor Star Command Ship

"All units should begin to regroup their fleets and refrain from hasty attacks," Zhao Chen said calmly, looking at the interstellar war map before him.

"What a pity. If we had more time, we could have devoured all 15 million of these remaining interstellar warships!" Xue Xiaoxiao muttered resentfully.

"Who says it isn't?"

It won't take long, just three days!

"Within three days at most, I can wipe out all the remaining enemy interstellar warships on this battlefield!" Leona muttered unhappily.

Around a round table, all the marshals and high-ranking officers of the Xiaolong Empire's military were gathered.

The marshals and commanders of the various Falcon Legion fleets.

"Your Majesty, is the news that the Devouring Civilization will establish a new space jump point connecting our Dragon Empire universe in about 24 hours reliable?" Wei Shishi couldn't help but ask.

Zhao Chen could tell that most of the commanders present were actually very unwilling.

After all, if they were given some more time, they could finish eating all the meat on those plates.

It's really hard to accept that there's still so much left.

"This is a message sent back by personnel from the Holy Elf Empire who were planted within the Devouring Civilization Universe."

Although it's not a real-time message, the intelligence content should be accurate.

They were also the ones who provided the previous information about the Devouring Civilization Starfleet invading our universe.

On this point, we can still have faith.

However, the timing may vary.

But we cannot take risks because of this.

The enemy appeared just as our Starfleet fleet was at its lowest point after a fierce battle.

The enemy will inevitably seize this opportunity and launch an attack on us.

At that point, we might actually incur some unnecessary losses.

"There's no need to take this risk," Zhao Chen said in a deep voice.

Charlotte, who was standing nearby, also said, "His Majesty's arrangement does not mean to stop all attacks."

It simply reduces the intensity of the attack to a lower level.

At this attack intensity, your respective legion fleets will have twenty hours to rest.

Regardless of your arrangements, you only need to ensure that within these twenty hours, your respective interstellar fleets' combat readiness recovers to 70% of their previous level in order to prepare for any potential attacks from the next phase of the devouring civilization.

The commanders nodded.

"This battle lasted for nearly fifty days."

I have seen the performance of each of your departments.

They are both excellent and very good.

After the war, I will give you the rewards you deserve.

Although we have gained an advantage in this surprise attack by the Shadow Hunter ace fleet.

"But we must not let our guard down for a moment until the war is truly over," Zhao Chen reminded him.

"Understood," the generals replied.

Next, there was some discussion about combat operations, which was mainly handled by Marshal Charlotte.

As the meeting ended, the commanders present disappeared from their seats one by one.

Soon, only Zhao Chen, Charlotte, and Lilith remained in the entire venue.

"Lilith, have there been any logistical problems lately?" Zhao Chen and Charlotte looked at Lilith together.

Lilith said directly, "I have already told Charlotte about the relevant information."

Currently, our logistical efficiency and strategic resource supply can only reach about 75% of what it was during the initial stage of the war.

Furthermore, if we continue in this state of war, logistical supplies will continue to decrease.

After all, war is an extremely costly undertaking in terms of manpower, material resources, and financial resources.

Charlotte nodded: "Lilith informed me of these kinds of intelligence as soon as possible."

I and the others had already anticipated this.

Sustaining this high-intensity combat for a month has already depleted all the resources our Dragon Empire has accumulated during this period.

Zhao Chen nodded.

The Dragon Empire was established relatively recently and is truly lacking in foundational strength.

This war would have been much better if it weren't for the war supplies and resources from the Holy Elf Empire.

That couldn't possibly last a month.

"What if, after that, the Devouring Civilization continues to fight us at all costs?"

"How long can our logistical supplies last?" Zhao Chen asked a crucial question.

"Let's proceed as is, given the current situation."

In a month and a half at most, this figure will drop to 30%, triggering a yellow warning.

After another month, it will drop to 10%, triggering a red alert.

In this situation, we need to make relevant trade-offs regarding industrial capacity.

For example, abandoning the production of interstellar warships and focusing all efforts on the production of strategic materials.

Or it could be the forced requisition of all industrial resources from the civilian population for the production of war resources.

"These arrangements are a double-edged sword," Lilith said seriously.

Zhao Chen let out a long breath.

Lilith has already made all of this very clear.

"From the current situation..."

If the war can end at this stage, even if we don't completely defeat the Devouring Civilization, it will still be an acceptable outcome for us.

We can fully recover our combat capabilities in a very short time through the subsequent recovery period.

"Then we'll slowly and methodically deal with the devouring civilization," Charlotte said earnestly.

As a supreme commander, she was not a warmonger; she knew very well when war was necessary and when it was necessary to stop it.

"However, this is not a problem that we can decide."

"It depends on our opponents." Zhao Chen shrugged helplessly.

The three fell silent.

Zhao Chen changed the subject: "So far, what are our combat statistics?"

"So far, it has been fifty days."

Not counting the nearly ten million interstellar ships we destroyed with the Supernova Ultimate Bomb.

We annihilated a total of more than 20 million enemy interstellar warships and received nearly 5 million surrendered enemy interstellar warships.

"Our combat losses of interstellar warships have reached one million." Charlotte's expression was very serious when she stated this number.

Lilith added from the side, "Although we lost a million starships, we also produced and delivered a batch of starships during this period, about 300,000."

Therefore, we still have 2.5 million interstellar warships on the battlefield.

However, these interstellar warships are not in very good condition at the moment.

One-tenth of the interstellar warships are in need of major repairs.

Another 20% are capable of fighting, but the degree of damage will affect their combat effectiveness.

The remaining 70% also suffered some damage, more or less.

A war resulted in the loss of one million interstellar warships.

This is probably the largest battle ever fought, whether during the Xiaolong Empire era or the earlier Xiaolong Legion fleet era.
