At this moment, General Leng Qian had a thought that seemed unbelievable to her.
Now, however, it seems so possible to her.
And at this moment.
The legions and fleets of those two families also took notice of this powerful interstellar fleet of unknown origin.
After repeated warnings and even attempts to contact and negotiate proved ineffective.
The fleet commanders of the two families immediately made a tactical arrangement that was theoretically very sound.
That is, the entire interstellar legion fleet is pressing in, closing the distance to the three thousand interstellar warships, attempting to encircle and annihilate them by relying on the numerical advantage of the interstellar warships after closing the distance.
Facing an elite fleet, this is indeed theoretically the most suitable approach.
Unfortunately, this is only theoretical; however, it might be a viable approach when facing other elite fleets.
Unfortunately, they are now facing not an ordinary elite fleet.
Instead, it was a fleet from the Dragon Star Empire, or even the Imperial Guard fleet.
It can only be said that they chose the wrong opponent.
As the two family legion fleets closed in, forming a crescent-shaped battle line, attempting to encircle the three thousand interstellar warships that had suddenly appeared.
Commander Xiong Xiangxiang also led the Imperial Guard fleet to respond.
General Leng Qian watched this scene unfold, observing the changes on the battlefield.
She could tell that the commander of the JF-17 fleet was thinking about how to arrange things.
Because the tactical arrangement is very simple.
The first line of defense consisted of a group of interstellar frigates, interspersed with interstellar destroyers and interstellar battleships.
These three interstellar warships form a triangular defense system.
It was like building a fortress.
This is a relatively common defense method.
Starships can intercept enemy attacks, as well as starfighters and star drones.
When faced with a swarm of enemy starships, star destroyers can provide fire support, while star battleships can focus on eliminating high-value, threatening targets.
This is a very simple and practical tactical approach.
But... facing an attack from nearly half a million enemy interstellar warships, wouldn't this barrier seem like a mantis trying to stop a chariot?
General Leng Qian suppressed her inner doubts and looked behind the defensive line.
If I'm not mistaken, there could also be smaller fleets composed of star cruisers and star battlecruisers.
This should be an assault team looking for an opportunity to counterattack the enemy when they are unable to break through after a prolonged siege.
Relying on the high mobility of star cruisers and star battlecruisers, they can carry out regional raids on enemy star fleets.
This is also a common tactic used on the battlefield, and it's taught in military academies.
Further back, she saw four more interstellar warships.
One of them is an aircraft carrier starship, located in the very center.
We can see that all the gates of those aircraft carriers and starships are open, but no starfighters or star drones have been deployed, presumably waiting for some opportunity.
Next to the aircraft carrier starship base is a ship type as rare as the interstellar heavy gunship: the interstellar missile ship.
The numerous interstellar missile launchers on the interstellar missile ship were all on standby, like a cat with its fur standing on end, ready to unleash its claws at any moment.
In addition to this, there is another type of interstellar ship with an even longer and narrower hull, which is even rarer than the interstellar missile ship.
If Leng Qian hadn't been so knowledgeable, she probably wouldn't have recognized this ship type.
That's an interstellar long-range hunter ship.
This is an extremely rare and uncommon ship type.
If there's any chance we might see interstellar missile ships and interstellar heavy artillery ships.
I've only ever seen this interstellar long-range hunter ship in books and documents, and I've never even heard of any interstellar faction possessing it.
This made her somewhat excited to witness firsthand the performance of this obscure interstellar warship on the battlefield.
Besides these combat-type interstellar warships.
Behind this starfleet formation, there were also some auxiliary starships.
For example, interstellar supply ships and interstellar transport ships, etc.
It can be said that although this Xiaolong fleet only has three thousand interstellar warships, it is truly small but complete.
Let's get back to the main topic.
Under the fire of the interstellar heavy gunships, the assault fleets of the two family legions were about to reach the firing range of the enemy fleet's positions.
Meanwhile, the JF-17 fleet's position opened fire first.
No one would have imagined that these star destroyers and star battleships would have such a long range.
General Leng Qian immediately understood, and she exclaimed in surprise, "These are all T5-level interstellar warships?"
Listening to General Leng Qian's excited words and incredulous gaze.
Zhao Chen said calmly, "This fleet consists entirely of T5-level or higher interstellar warships."
Upon hearing this explanation, General Leng Qian suddenly understood many things.
A space fleet consisting of three thousand interstellar warships, all of which are at least T5 level.
This is probably an incredible existence in the Cancer interstellar civilization universe.
But don't forget who this person is.
The supreme ruler of the Dragon Emperor Interstellar Empire.
Those who can follow the Emperor Dragon's interstellar fleet are definitely not ordinary beings; what's so special about being equipped with T5-level interstellar warships?
It is estimated that the number of T6-class interstellar warships is no less than double digits.
General Leng Qian was even more pleased after discovering that the military strength of the Xiaolong Legion fleet far exceeded her expectations.
Since you've already chosen to sell yourself, you naturally hope your buyer will be a good one, so that you can get a good price for yourself.
This battle consisted entirely of T5-level interstellar warships; this was the first time General Leng Qian had ever witnessed a battle scene of this magnitude!
On the forward defense line formed by that JF-17 Thunder fleet.
Although there are only a little over a thousand interstellar warships, the firepower of the Chaos Knight-class heavy assault interstellar destroyer is such that even the enemy's T5-class interstellar battleships dare not confront it head-on.
Because the firepower of this star destroyer is truly terrifying.
As for the T5 Holy Redeemer-class heavy interstellar armored battleship, it reached an even more demonic level.
At first, General Leng Qian was puzzled as to why this starship with its somewhat unique appearance possessed such terrifying combat power.
But he learned the name of this interstellar battleship from Emperor Xiaolong.
This is a heavy interstellar armored battleship with heavy artillery!
Just by looking at the words in its name, you can tell that this is a rather special interstellar warship.
Especially when the Redeemer-class 300M caliber electromagnetic railgun, the four Divine-class cluster laser cannons, and the eighteen 20M caliber heavy electromagnetic cannons fired.
The intensity of that attack was so great that it seemed to make the entire star field tremble!
It should be noted that in addition to these weapons, the Holy Redeemer also has 366 eight-barreled heavy particle energy rapid-fire cannons!
This is simply a behemoth armed to the teeth!
Its firepower is so intense that once it targets its prey, there is almost no chance of survival.
Under the onslaught of the T5 Chaos Knight-class Heavy Assault Star Destroyer and the T5 Holy Redeemer-class Heavy Star Armored Cannon Battleship.
This seemingly final stretch of distance resulted in considerable casualties for both family-run fleets.
Just as their interstellar warships, enduring relentless bombardment, finally reached combat range where they could retaliate.
Their interstellar warships began to unleash their long-suppressed rage.
The cannons locked onto the enemy starfleet's positions.
Even before this, many of their starships had been destroyed by enemy star destroyers and star battleships.
However, the sheer number of interstellar warships—hundreds of thousands—is a given.
Even at this stage, there are still quite a few interstellar warships at the forefront.
The number of interstellar warships ready to fire at this moment far exceeds the three thousand interstellar warships on the other side.
As those attacks rained down on the three thousand interstellar warships on the opposite side.
An unexpected scene unfolded.
The previously quiet interstellar frigates now had all their cannons activated, unleashing a barrage of bullets at the attacks.
These attacks were intercepted halfway, resulting in a series of exploding fireballs.
And the success rate of this interception is quite high.
At least half of the supply has been intercepted.
The remaining half of the attack was about to land on those interstellar warship positions.
A massive light curtain rose up, directly enveloping the three thousand interstellar warships.
The attacks could only fall on this huge light screen, like raindrops falling on the surface of a lake. After creating ripples, everything returned to normal.
This scene left many people stunned.
"This...this interstellar frigate is called...T5 King of the Hill-class Heavy Interstellar Strategic Frigate..."
"So this is the escort capability of a T5-class interstellar frigate?" General Leng Qian swallowed hard.
She had just learned about this interstellar frigate.
Although starships in ordinary legion fleets also bear similar responsibilities, they are nothing like the one in front of us, which shelters the entire starship and keeps it unscathed from the enemy's dense attacks.
It's truly breathtaking.
It was a shock that cannot be described.
They not only possessed sharp spears, but also the thickest shields.
Such an interstellar fleet...
General Leng Qian's eyes were filled with envy.
But this drama is far from over.
For both family-owned fleets, there was no turning back once the arrow was released.
Since the decision has been made to launch a full-scale attack and destroy these three thousand interstellar warships of unknown origin, there is naturally no possibility of stopping.
Moreover, both of their commanders were trying to comfort themselves.
They have hundreds of thousands of interstellar warships at their disposal.
The enemy only had three thousand interstellar warships, which was a significant difference between the two.
Even if the enemy's interstellar warships are incredibly strong.
But as long as they can keep attacking, no matter how thick the shield is, it will eventually be shattered.
Even using sheer numbers, they could destroy these three thousand interstellar warships.
With this in mind, the battle continues.
But the outcome was completely beyond their expectations.
Soon, the entire battlefield was out of their control.
This mysterious elite fleet of three thousand interstellar warships, though having constructed a defensive line, had no intention of cowering.
The first to take action were the cruiser fleets.
A mobile cruiser fleet consisting of thirty ships.
They launched an offensive, each seeking a breakthrough.
With only a small fleet of thirty interstellar warships, they dared to plunge directly into the enemy ranks and launch a fierce attack.
When General Leng Qian saw this scene, she couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.
Even if these are T5-level star cruisers and star battlecruisers, sending only thirty of them into the enemy's vast ocean is... isn't this like moths to a flame?
As it turns out, this wasn't a moth drawn to a flame, but rather a dragon roaming the world!
The cruiser fleets, with their incredible speed and powerful supply firepower, managed to tear a gap in the enemy formation and plunge into it.
They seemed to be charging forward recklessly.
However, General Leng Qian, looking at the interstellar sand table, quickly noticed something amiss.
These mobile cruiser fleets were not randomly charging around, but were specifically designed to infiltrate and divide the enemy fleet.
At this moment, nearly 10,000 interstellar warships have been cut out and separated within one area.
Because of the breakthroughs by several cruiser fleets outside, they are now isolated and have no chance to contact other interstellar fleets.
They also attempted to break through.
However, at this moment, the T5 Chaos Knight-class heavy assault star destroyers, which were originally meant to form a defensive line, rushed forward, bursting with extremely high speed in a short period of time.
Then they blocked the route that the cruiser mobile fleet had previously torn open, thus forming a blockade around these 10,000 starships!
And then...
The aircraft carrier starship, which had been waiting behind for a long time, made a move at this moment.
That was the heavy aircraft carrier starship known as the T5 Fire Kirin, and you could see a large number of interstellar fighters and interstellar drones swarming out from all parts of the ship.
The dark mass surged towards the enemy's ten thousand severed interstellar warships.
The scene that followed was like a locust swarm passing through.
Those ten thousand interstellar warships were destroyed one by one by these astonishingly large swarms of interstellar fighters and interstellar drones.
General Leng Qian swallowed hard as she looked at the swarm of interstellar fighters and interstellar drones.
I couldn't help but glance at the Dragon Emperor on the other side of the video window.
Although the Emperor of the Dragon did not introduce the T5 Fire Kirin-class heavy aircraft carrier starship this time, it was from her observation as an officer that...
She could roughly deduce it.
This T5 Fire Kirin-class heavy aircraft carrier starship is equipped with more than one million interstellar fighters and more than thirty million interstellar drones.
Furthermore, all of these interstellar fighters and interstellar drones are, without exception, T5 level.
Therefore, for the starships of those two families, the threat posed by these starfighters and swarms of star drones is no less than that of the starships themselves!
Under this offensive, the ten thousand interstellar warships were wiped out in less than ten minutes.
The subsequent battles followed a similar pattern.
This kind of massacre is being repeated over and over again.
The two family legion fleets were losing nearly 100,000 interstellar warships per hour on average.
At this rate of destruction, even if the enemy had hundreds of thousands of interstellar warships, they couldn't withstand this level of attrition.
On the other hand, the JF-17 Starfleet...
None of the interstellar warships in the battle position were threatened, and even the star shield of the T5 Hill King-class heavy interstellar strategic frigate was still intact.
Only some of the star cruisers and star battlecruisers that carried out the assault and infiltration missions suffered some attacks on their hulls after the Star Shield energy was exhausted.
But they all safely evacuated to the defensive line.
Therefore, the battle lasted for nearly two hours.
The two family legion fleets lost nearly 200,000 interstellar warships, but failed to destroy even a single enemy interstellar warship.
Ultimately, after the two family legion fleets were gripped by fear of these three thousand unidentified interstellar warships.
The commanders of both family fleets chose to evacuate.
It could almost be described as a complete rout.
During their retreat and defeat, the JF-17 Starfleet did not pursue them, but merely launched a few attacks in a passive manner.
At this moment, the long, narrow interstellar warship that had remained silent finally revealed its fangs.
That's a crossbow!
At the rear of the ballista, a light appeared as it charged up, and then a glowing arrow was launched.
It hit a T5 starship that was retreating!
"That range!" General Leng Qian exclaimed in surprise.
Although she already knew that this interstellar long-range hunter ship had a long range, this range was more than ten times that of ordinary interstellar warships!
This is absolutely terrifying.
Moreover, this attack intensity doesn't seem to be from an ordinary T5-class starship, does it?
Could it be that...?
"Your Majesty, is this interstellar long-range hunter also a T6-class interstellar warship?" Leng Qian couldn't help but ask Zhao Chen.
Zhao Chen introduced it generously: "T6 Seraphim Ballista-class Interstellar Long-Range Hunter Ship."
Its correct usage should be before or at the start of a battle.
To carry out precise sniping of high-intensity enemy combat targets.
But this time the opponent was too weak.
Use it before battle, for fear of scaring the enemy.
It will be arranged at the very end, during the final stages.
Upon hearing Emperor Xiaolong's explanation, General Leng Qian expressed her understanding.
That is indeed the case.
If the enemy could see the power of this T6 Seraphim Ballista-class interstellar long-range hunter before the battle even begins.
They have to carefully consider whether or not to launch another attack.
What followed was the thrilling hunt.
Almost all of the enemy's T5-class interstellar warships were sniped from a distance by the T6 Seraphim Ballista-class interstellar long-range hunters as they fled.
In fact, these enemy T5 starships had already been located by the radar of the Dragon Emperor starship command ship long before.
They were just waiting for this opportunity.
Finally, after the Imperial Guard fleet joined the battle, the fight ended after two and a half hours.
Both sides presented an astonishing battle report.
In the battle against the Imperial Guard, the two families' legion fleets lost more than 200,000 starships, with all T5-class starships annihilated.
Both enemy flagships were also completely destroyed, but it is unknown whether the enemy commanders were killed.
Because after the T6 Seraphim Ballista-class interstellar long-range hunters launched their hunting operations, shuttles began to appear on those T5-class interstellar warships.
It is estimated that the high-ranking officers on those T5 starships realized the danger of being on the T5 starships and fled one after another.
But this didn't matter to Zhao Chen. Those high-ranking commanders were nothing more than small fry to him.
On the other hand, the JF-17's personal guard fleet suffered no casualties.
Only some of the three thousand interstellar warships suffered minor damage.
There are even accompanying interstellar supply ships now deploying unmanned repair robots to perform emergency repairs on these interstellar warships with damaged hulls.
"General Leng Qian, what is your opinion of my Xiaolong Legion fleet now?" Zhao Chen looked at General Leng Qian opposite him with a calm and collected expression.
General Leng Qian took a deep breath and then said seriously, "If your Xiaolong Legion fleet had the same combat power as these three thousand interstellar warships..."
Then I retract my previous estimate. All you need is for us to provide a star fleet like this, 30,000 starships.
Within twenty days... no...
Within half a month, I will be able to control the entire Luohe Star Region!
A fleet entirely of T5-class starships, along with a considerable number of T6-class starships.
Judging from the three thousand interstellar warships in front of her, she estimated that at least one hundred of them were T6-class interstellar warships.
Three thousand T5-class interstellar warships—that's a number that even five interstellar kingdoms combined could barely manage.
If she were really given 30,000 T5-class Xiaolong-class interstellar warships, Leng Qian would be confident that she could deliver on her promise.
Zhao Chen slowly opened his mouth and said, "This interstellar fleet is my personal guard fleet."
In terms of configuration, it is stronger than the regular JF-17 fleet.
The standard JF-17 fleet is currently primarily equipped with T4-class or higher interstellar warships.
Hearing Emperor Xiaolong's explanation, General Leng Qian was not disappointed, as she had actually had this suspicion before.
If the Xiaolong Interstellar Empire had a fleet of three thousand interstellar warships like this, then even an enemy of the level of Devouring Civilization might not be a match for the Xiaolong Interstellar Empire.
However, there are still a large number of T5 and T6 level interstellar warships that can be fully deployed.
This is enough to demonstrate the formidable strength of the Dragon Star Empire!
If that's the case.
That's an estimate; give me 100,000 interstellar warships.
"I can fulfill my promise within twenty days," General Leng Qian said solemnly.
One hundred thousand JF-17 series interstellar warships.
Lilith, standing beside her, twitched her eyebrows slightly; this number was something they could completely accept at the moment.
