Chapter 197: Ready.
With Babaweiler’s instructions, the caravan began to warp along the edge of the starless void.
However, what they didn’t know was that when the Babawi Empire’s Interstellar Caravan failed to cross the starless void, Lin Fan had already obtained the information from the monitoring device.
“Commander-in-Chief, after the database comparison, the opponent should be the Babawi Empire’s Interstellar Caravan that had appeared in the Io Federation before!”
On Vellas’s orbit, inside the bridge of the Uranus, a member of the command team was reporting to Lin Fan.
“So it’s them. Can you tell where they are right now?”
“Yes, according to the direction of their warp, they should be traveling along the edge of the starless void. There is a high probability that they regarded the Warp Blocking device as a space anomaly, and wanted to find another entry point.”
“Hmm, that should be the case. Continue to monitor them. Once they appear, immediately turn off the Warp Blocking device in that area and let them pass!”
“Yes, Commander-in-Chief!”
Lin Fan didn’t want to reveal the Great Interstellar Wall project just because of the caravan, which only had around 1,000 spaceships.
The plan designated by Lin Zhen and Eddie was about to be implemented. At this time, they must not make a mistake, such as exposing it too early!
Two days later, after traveling 10 light years, Babaweiler’s caravan withdrew from their warping state.
“Lord Babaweiler, the fleet has all withdrawn from the warping state!”
“Alright, try warping again now. See if you can warp in the direction of the starless void!”
“Yes!”
Following Babaweiler’s orders, the entire caravan began to turn towards the starless void.
After 10 seconds, the void shrank and the caravan disappeared.
“Lord Babaweiler, we have successfully warped!”
The Captain was a little excited. For him, it was the first time that he experienced not being able to warp and was naturally worried.
“Well, it seems that the space of the previous area is abnormal. Record the location of the problem area and store it in the database!”
“Yes, Lord Babaweiler!”
Soon, a document called the ‘Anomaly Space in the Starless Void’ was uploaded to the navigation database of the Babawi Empire.
At the same moment, in the Shanhai Pass.
“Commander-in-Chief, the Warp Blocking device has been turned off, and the other party has successfully warped!”
“Well done. Two days later, when they pass through the starless void, restart the Warp Blocking device in that area.”
“Yes!”
Babaweiler didn’t know that he had just gone through the gates of Hell. If Lin Fan didn’t allow it, they wouldn’t have been able to move forward.
According to the information the Human Federation obtained from the Theo Alliance, the Vera Alliance and the Freedom Alliance were already at war with each other. A full-blown war was only a trigger away.
Of course, the matter in the Orion’s Arm Branch was not enough to get the situation this far. A crucial point was that Sith had secretly made moves, making the relationship between the two alliances become more and more irreconcilable.
Now, Lin Zhen was about to ignite the last fire.
In the past five years, Lin Zhen made a lot of preparations according to the plan. He even secretly prepared a very special fleet and sent it to the Shanhai Pass!
The style of the warships in this legion was completely different from that of the Human warships. They were entirely based on the warships of the Lehman Empire, a Level 4 Civilization in the Freedom Alliance.
Lin Zhen and Ed studied every detail about each civilization under the four major alliances through the Theo Alliance’s terminal, including the distinct warship characteristics.
The reason they chose the Lehman Empire was very simple. It’s because the main weapons used by its warships were plasma cannons, just like the Humans.
As for the Energy Shield, the Energy Shield technology of the Humans was very similar to that of the Freedom Alliance, especially in terms of looks, which was light blue color.
It could be said that as long as these customized warships were not captured by the enemy and dismantled for research, everyone would have every reason to believe that these were battleships of the Lehman Empire.
Today, this fleet was already on standby in the Shanhai Pass, ready to carry out operations at any time.
This battle would be directed by Lin Fan himself. After all, this battle was very crucial. If there was a little problem, the Humans wouldn’t be able to afford the consequences.
Federal Calendar Year 81.
In the Shanhai Pass, 100,000 warships with strange styles were currently lined up in a neat marching array, making the final preparations before departure.
When it comes to this operation, it was necessary to mention a piece of information that Sith gave Lin Zhen.
Earlier, Sith sent a fully stealthy strategic reconnaissance ship. The same type that appeared during the war between the Human Federation and the Kabat Empire.
Even before Sith found the Human Federation, they had already been exploring the Orion’s Arm Branch for more than 50 years and knew the power distribution.
After the Human Federation joined the Theo Alliance, Sith fully shared this part of the information with Lin Zhen. Through this information, the Humans learned about the scope of the Level 4 Civilization, Babawi Empire for the first time.
Speaking of, their own territory spanned about 2,000 light-years, occupying the head of the Orion’s Arm Branch, the most prosperous Star Field.
Of course, this prosperity was only relative with other parts of the Orion’s Arm Branch. If compared with the Main Spiral Arms of the galaxy, it would still be considered a rural area.
In addition to the 2,000 light-year territory that they directly controlled, the Babawi Empire also indirectly controlled an area of about 12,000 light-years, extending from their own territory to the starless void. They controlled it through countless trade networks.
In this trade network, the Babawi Empire had built a total of 12 large trade hubs, 120 medium trade hubs and 1200 small trade hubs!
It took more than 3,000 years just to establish this trade network, so the Babawi Empire still had not reached the other end of the starless void for the time being.
Although the control of the other end of the starless void was still beyond their reach, for the Babawi Empire, as long as there were no forces on the other side that could threaten them, all was good!
This was why Babaweiler, as an Interstellar Merchant, went to the other side of the starless void every 20 years. Once he found out which civilization had the signs of being promoted to Level 4 Civilization, the Babawi Empire would immediately destroy it.
As for Lin Zhen’s operation, on the one hand, he wanted to continue placing the blame on the Freedom Alliance. On the other hand, he had to attack the lifeline of the Babawi Empire by means of this special operation.
That was, targeting the trade network that the Babawi Empire had spent more than 3,000 years building up!
