The First Commander of the Black God immediately looked at the interstellar war sand table, where he could clearly see the two positions he had marked.

His starfleet showed clear signs of attack, but now, on both flanks of the attacking fleet, the Dragon Legion fleet seemed to have extended two tentacles, flanking his attacking legion fleet from the sides.

"This...this could be their trap?" The First Commander of the Black God finally realized what was happening.

These two places, which he considered weaknesses, seemed to be traps prepared for him by the opposing JF-17 commander.

"Immediately issue my order: our fleet must withdraw from these two locations immediately!" Commander Black God hurriedly gave the order.

However, the order was not passed on.

The vice-captain beside him said in a helpless tone, "Sir, what's the situation now?"

Our two fleets, comprising six thousand interstellar warships, located in these two battlefield positions, are already entangled with the enemy and have no chance or possibility of withdrawing.

Upon hearing the vice-captain's words, the First Commander of the Black God clenched his fist, feeling as if his fist had not only failed to strike the enemy but had instead struck the ground.

At the same time, the First Commander of the Black God also discovered a problem: while they were focused on the frontal battle, the opposing Falcon Dragon Legion fleet had launched an encirclement attack from both flanks.

They were moving very fast, and now their flanks were being surrounded by the starships of the Dragon Legion fleet.

The encirclement is already 60-70% complete.

If they do nothing now, they could very well be surrounded by the opposing Dragon Legion fleet.

It's hard to believe.

Their own 300,000-plus interstellar warships are now worried about being surrounded by the enemy's 80,000 interstellar warships.

As the First Commander of the Black God, he truly experienced what it was like for those conventional legion fleets of the Devouring Civilization that had previously clashed with the Wraith Dragon Legion fleet.

I guess it's similar to how I feel right now—a complete sense of powerlessness.

The current Dragon Legion fleet is completely different from the Star Legion fleet they know.

"My lord, what do we do next?" The subordinate beside him couldn't help but ask again when he saw that the First Commander of the Black God had not spoken for a long time.

In the current situation, we really can't afford to waste a single moment.

It's important to understand that the Falcon Dragon Legion's fleet was positioned in this way precisely to devour their more than 300,000 interstellar warships.

Before this, some might have thought that the JF-17 Legion fleet didn't have such a big appetite, but now the facts are clear: the JF-17 Legion fleet on the other side is indeed thinking this way.

And now that gaping maw is open, if they don't make any arrangements, they might really be torn to shreds by the opposing Dragon Legion fleet.

Retreat or attack?

This is a difficult problem now facing the First Commander of the Black God.

Retreat... If they retreat, they might avoid being surrounded by the enemy, but they will inevitably suffer heavy casualties during the retreat.

His Black God First Legion might fare somewhat better, but those regular legion fleets would inevitably suffer heavy losses during the retreat, possibly even losing more than half of their interstellar warships.

By then, they won't have the ability to launch another attack.

attack?

But do they really have the ability to attack now?

The opposing Xiaolong Legion fleet was on high alert, with all the excellent Xiaolong-class interstellar warships on display, along with the fire support of interstellar missile ships and interstellar heavy gun ships.

The cover provided by interstellar escort ships and interstellar destroyers on the main battlefield.

In addition, there are main battleships like starships.

The outcome of the attack seemed to be already clear in the mind of the Black God First Commander.

At this moment, he glanced at the communication window beside him, which had been open all along. It displayed messages requesting support from several battlefields not far away.

The main battlefield, local battlefields, and even the newly formed battlefields that have just begun to have a million interstellar warships are all now calling for help.

He may not have understood before why the war had turned out this way.

After experiencing it firsthand, she finally understood.

There's nothing we can do about it.

Because the opponent is the JF-17 Legion fleet, when you face the JF-17 Legion fleet, you will need to have more than ten times the number of troops and enemies.

Either you possess a starship of far superior quality to your enemy's.

The latter clearly devours what civilization cannot.

No matter which starship it is, none of them can match the combat quality of the Xiaolong series starships.

That leaves only the advantage of quantity.

The awkward thing is that they don't have the ability to mobilize enough spacecraft quickly.

Meanwhile, the JF-17 Legion fleet, relying on its special super flagship, was able to withdraw from other battlefields to this battlefield in such a short time.

The commander of the JF-17 Thunder took advantage of this time difference to complete this series of operations.

This gave them the advantage on this battlefield.

"Perhaps... this was Commander Xiaolong's original plan?" The First Commander of the Black God suddenly thought of this.

If that's the case, then the JF-17 commander's abilities and foresight are truly terrifying.

"My lord... my lord?" came the voice of a subordinate from the side again.

The First Commander of the Black Gods regained his senses, but he was now in a stalemate and had no idea how to proceed in the short term.

"Reinforcements! We need more reinforcements!" The First Commander of the Black God immediately prepared to contact the Black God King.

Because only the Black God King has the authority to mobilize more reinforcements.

And it's not just about having more reinforcements, but about having even more reinforcements arrive faster!

If the current pace continues, there is a possibility of a continuous stream of people rushing in to their deaths.

Just like the current situation.

For some unknown reason, it seems that the JF-17 fleet is able to know their movements in advance and make the best response.

This is also the reason for the current situation.

"Um... sir, we... can't wait any longer..." the subordinate asked anxiously.

The First Commander of the Black God glanced at the interstellar war map, and finally, with a determined look, said, "Attack! Continue the attack!"

At the same time, we must spread out our battle lines and prevent the enemy from easily encircling us.

Ultimately, the First Commander of the Black God decided to attack.

Given the current situation, they are like arrows released from a bow, with no way back.

While attacking will incur losses, retreating will also incur losses.

Most importantly, retreating might incur punishment from Lord Black God.

This is something they must take into account!

The First Commander of the Black Gods watched all this with a serious expression. His current plan was to maintain the current offensive pace and then try to contact the Black God King to request that he mobilize more legion fleets to provide support in the most efficient way.

In a short period of time, they need to increase their advantage in the number of interstellar warships to turn the tide of the battle.

This is the only solution he can consider right now.

"Understood." The subordinate immediately went to explain the situation.

The First Commander of the Black Gods took a deep breath and began to use his authority to directly contact the Black God King.

He knew very well what the Black God King would say if he reported the current battle situation to him.

He was bound to be punished, because the result was truly unsatisfactory, unless he was there and knew what had happened.

If he knew about this from an outsider's perspective, he would think that the people fighting here were simply a bunch of useless good-for-nothings.

At this moment, even the First Commander of the Black God began to sympathize with the Troll King who had previously clashed with the Dragon Legion fleet; he had truly misunderstood him.

It's not that he's useless or incompetent.

The opponent he faced this time was indeed too strong, ridiculously strong, and unbelievably strong.

At this moment, the communication with the Black God King was established.

The First Commander of the Black God was startled and forced himself to calm down.

He looked at the Black God King's black helmet, which obscured his facial expression, but even through the video communication, he could feel the terrifying pressure emanating from the Black God King.

If he's not mistaken, this is the situation here now.

In fact, the Black God King should also know something about it.

He's probably furious about this situation.

His contact with the Black God King at this moment was undoubtedly a convenient excuse to vent his anger.

The First Commander of the Black God had naturally considered this before making the contact, but he had no choice but to do so.

"Your Majesty, I am guilty."

I have seriously neglected my duties.

"I request that you revoke my position as the First Commander of the Black God. I am willing to accept any punishment!" The First Commander of the Black God did not come up to report anything, nor did he seek support.

Instead, he immediately knelt on the ground, looking like a guilty official begging for forgiveness.

This is where the First Commander of the Black Gods' brilliance lies; he knows he is wrong, and that he cannot hide it.

Since that's the case, then I might as well take all the blame and responsibility upon myself.

He is the first commander of the Black God and the right-hand man of the Black God King. If he has this attitude, there will not be much punishment.

Just as expected.

Seeing that the First Commander of the Black Gods immediately apologized, the Black God King did not say anything more to blame him. Instead, he coldly asked, "Tell me, what happened?"

The First Commander of the Black Gods remained kneeling and said, "We underestimated the enemy."

We knew before that the JF-17 Legion fleet was very strong, and that the JF-17 series of interstellar warships were very powerful.

But after actually fighting them, we realized that the power of the JF-17 fleet far exceeded our imagination.

Although it's somewhat inappropriate to talk about the enemy in this way.

But as battlefield commanders, we must have the spirit to face the battlefield situation squarely. If the enemy is strong, then strong is strong. If we stubbornly refuse to acknowledge the enemy's strength, we will only suffer losses in the battles to come.

"Tell me your thoughts and evaluation of the Dragon Legion fleet," Black God King asked with interest.

The First Commander of the Black Gods then raised his head and said, "Based on my observations on the front lines of the battlefield and the firsthand experience of our Black Gods First Legion fleet..."

The Xiaolong Legion fleet is very strong, even if it's not their elite fleet, but just their regular legion fleet.

It still possesses extremely powerful and terrifying combat capabilities.

Our previous assessment indicated that the combat strength of the JF-17 Legion fleet was one to ten times that of our Legion fleet.

If we want to confront the JF-17 fleet, we must send ten times the number of troops.

However, I now believe that this data assessment is flawed.

To achieve a 50/50 split with the JF-17 fleet on the main battlefield, we would need to deploy at least fifteen times the number of troops.

If it's only ten times the troop strength, then unless the enemy's Dragon-class interstellar warships lack interstellar missiles and the firepower support of interstellar heavy artillery ships...

Otherwise, even with ten times the troops, our chances of winning wouldn't exceed 20%!

This is why we suffered defeats on many battlefields.

Moreover, the enemy possesses a very strong intelligence network. I strongly suspect that the Dragon Legion fleet may have deployed some invisible outposts, interstellar stealth reconnaissance ships, or even spies among us in various parts of our universe.

They are fully aware of every move our legion's fleet makes.

Under our military command, they always come up with the most accurate response plan.

This is very advantageous for them...

The First Commander of the Black Gods recounted many more events, the majority of which focused on describing the terrifying and formidable combat power of the Dragon Legion fleet.

Hearing this, the Black God King was not angry, but listened.

"I can tell you a lot more about the JF-17 Dragon Legion fleet."

But the situation on the battlefield is now more important.

"I'm requesting more reinforcements from your fleet, otherwise the situation on the battlefield will only get worse!" the First Commander of the Black God pleaded.

"I've already made arrangements for reinforcements, and I've also started drawing a lot of troops from other areas."

"The total number has already exceeded three million interstellar warships, and further arrangements will be made," said the Black God King.

But the First Commander of the Black God immediately said, "This is far from enough. What we need now is not the reinforcement fleet that is still on its way."

Instead, we need a support fleet that can immediately appear on our battlefield.

I even request that you bring over some soul altars.

The opposing JF-17 commanders are very greedy. They realized that we wanted to create a meat grinder battlefield here to weaken their main fleet.

They decided to use their superior mobility and manpower to create a time advantage and destroy more of our starships in the final stage of the battle.

If things continue as they are, and the legion fleet is only mobilized little by little...

Ultimately, our losses will be even greater.

Upon hearing this, the Black God King asked in a deep voice, "Then what are your thoughts? Just say it directly, don't hide anything."

The First Commander of the Black God made a firm decision and said, "I request that we use our remaining space delivery equipment now to send at least 500,000 of our interstellar warships to this battlefield within ten minutes to join the battle."

In addition, we need to find a way to transfer five level-four soul altars and one level-five soul altar.

Only by strengthening our military capabilities in a short period of time can we reverse the battlefield situation on our side!

Upon hearing the request from the First Commander of the Black God...

The Black God King remained silent for a while, then his deep voice rang out again: "You should be very clear about our current situation."

We don't have that many troops available to mobilize.

As for the equipment for transporting fleets across space, we don't have much left. If we use it now, it will be a waste.

If the JF-17 fleet has any other plans afterward, we will be in a very passive position.

As for the use of the Soul Altar, I can consider it.

However, the safety of the soul altar must be ensured.

We've already lost a significant number of soul altars; any further losses would be unacceptable.

Upon hearing what the Black God King said, the First Commander of the Black Gods spoke up: "My lord, things are different now than before."

The JF-17 fleet has already bared its fangs at us.

If we don't adopt a decisive and forceful approach now, the JF-17 fleet will take a big bite out of us.

If that's the case, I'd rather you just abandon the battle on this battlefield altogether.

"Immediately order all reinforcement fleets not to come. The legion fleets already engaged in battle should find their own way to withdraw. This will minimize our losses!"

When the First Commander of the Black God finished speaking, his heart was already in his throat.

Because these words implied a rebellion against the Black God King, he took a great risk by saying them.

If an ordinary person said this, they probably wouldn't have enough lives to survive.

It's just that his identity as the first commander of the Black God is rather special.

The Black God King remained silent for a while before speaking, "Now that you've said so much..."

Let's make it simple.

Speak your most honest thoughts.

The First Commander of the Black God took a deep breath and raised three fingers, saying, "We currently have three choices, each corresponding to one of three scenarios."

The first option is that we will bear less risk.

However, we also failed to obtain the profits we had imagined.

That means using some of the space-transportation fleet's equipment to send at least 300,000 interstellar warships to this battlefield, and then continuing the previous reinforcement fleet deployment. However, it will take at least 72 hours to mobilize no fewer than 10 million interstellar warships to this battlefield!

Three hundred thousand interstellar warships were directly deployed to the battlefield, and then ten million interstellar warships were added to support them within seventy-two hours.

It has to be said that the First Commander of the Black God's request really had the flavor of 'asking for the moon'.

After the First Commander of the Black God finished explaining the first arrangement, seeing that the Black God King did not speak, he continued, "The second one."

Five hundred thousand interstellar warships were deployed to the battlefield, and then the Black God Fourth Legion fleet and the Black God Fifth Legion fleet had to be dispatched to join the battle.

I know that you arranged for the Black God Fourth Legion fleet to be in the star system of the Troll King in order to secure our gains.

But given the current situation, the battlefield here needs the Black God Fourth Legion Fleet even more!

In addition, it still involves mobilizing ten million interstellar warships.

The difference between the two plans of the First Commander of the Black God is actually the two Black God Legion fleets.

While this may seem like a difference of only 60,000 interstellar warships, there is actually a considerable gap.

After all, if these 60,000 interstellar warships were directly sent to this battlefield, it would have a significant impact on the overall situation.

At least, judging from the battle situation on the side of his Black God First Legion fleet.

With the addition of these 60,000 interstellar warships, the First Commander of the Black God was fully confident that he could turn the tide and seize the initiative and advantage.

This is the crucial role that elite fleets play on the battlefield.

"What about the third one?" The Black God King had been waiting for the Black God First Commander to continue, but he hadn't heard anything yet, so he had no choice but to ask.

The First Commander of the Black God hesitated for a moment before speaking, "The third method is one that will allow us to achieve more results, but... at the same time, we will have to pay a higher price."

We need you to personally lead your Black God Royal Guard fleet, along with two Black God Legion fleets, plus the previously requested 500,000 interstellar warships, to the battlefield to provide support.

"By making this one move, we can turn the tide of this battle."

The Black God King personally led the expedition.

The Black God King showed no surprise at this request, as if he had already seen through the Black God First Commander's idea.

"Currently, the only near-T7 level interstellar warship in our Devouring Civilization that still possesses combat capabilities is your Black God."

If your Black God can appear on the battlefield, it can not only suppress the momentum of the enemy's T7 Golden Scarab-class heavy interstellar dreadnought in the Xiaolong Legion fleet.

It can also boost our morale in battle.

So far, due to the combat capabilities of the enemy's Dragon-class interstellar warships, and the god-like status of that near-T7 Golden Scarab-class heavy interstellar dreadnought on the battlefield, the situation has been dire.

This has put considerable pressure on our Starfleet.

We cannot allow this situation to continue.

"So your appearance and the Black God's appearance are very important to us!" the Black God's First Commander said solemnly.

The Black God King remained silent, seemingly deep in thought.

The First Commander of the Black God couldn't help but speak again: "First of all, we underestimated the Dragonflight Interstellar Empire before."

I won't deny that I've made the same mistake.

But now that we've realized our mistake, we can't let it continue.

The Dragon Star Empire possesses extremely strong development capabilities, enabling it to grow to its current terrifying state in just ten years.

The Dragon Empire's attack this time is clearly aimed at weakening our expeditionary capabilities, and preventing us from launching expeditions into the Dragon Empire's universe for a short period of time.

What is the purpose of this? Isn't it to buy time for development?

If we give the Dragon Star Empire another five years, three years, or even just one year.

What kind of entity will we be facing then—the Wyvern Interstellar Empire?
