Chapter 201: Starting To Strike.
Chapter 201: Starting To Strike.
There was no need for a preparation period, as the two alliances had already been at odds with each other for the last five years.
Speaking of which, the distance between the First Main Spiral Arm and the Fourth Main Spiral Arm was the closest. Of course, this refers to the part that was close to the center of the Milky Way.
The Milky Way was spiral-shaped – with the four main spiral arms – which started from the center of the Milky Way and expanding outward. Therefore, the farther the distance between the arms, the more backwards it was.
In addition, the non-spiral regions that were far away from the center were basically free of star belts. The space there was very unstable and crossing comes with great risks.
Therefore, between the four main spiral arms, everyone traveled through the channel close to the center of the galaxy.
Similarly, in the center of the Milky Way, the channel between the First Main Spiral Arm and the Fourth Main Spiral Arm had become a confrontation point for the two major Civilizations, as they accumulated a heavy amount of troops there.
After Wilt left the virtual conference room of the Big Four, he immediately issued an order for a full-scale attack.
At the confrontation point, on the Vera Alliance’s side, the 200 billion warships had immediately formed in attack formations, one after another, before rushing towards the position of the Freedom Alliance.
Soon, the world-shattering battle began!
Of course, this did not mean that there were only 30 billion warships on the Vera Alliance’s side. The Vera Alliance had actually deployed 120 billion heavy troops on the confrontation point, but since the channel could only be so wide, only 20 billion warships could pass through it at one time.
Seeing that the Vera Alliance had started to attack, the Freedom Alliance also did not show any weakness and sent their own 20 billion warships.
For a time, energy bombs and beams filled the entire channel. However, since the warships on both sides were at least Level 4 Civilization warships, the worst ones still being in the middle and late stage Level 4 Civilization, it would still take a while to determine the victor for this battle.
Orion’s Arm Branch, Babawi Empire.
In the palace, Babarea was shocked when he got the news of the war. He didn’t expect that his big brother would go to war with the Freedom Alliance, for the sake of the Babawi Empire.
But what he didn’t know was that if it really was just a matter concerning the Babawi Empire, the relationship between the two sides would only deteriorate, nothing more. It was impossible for a war to happen.
The real reason for Wilt’s decision in starting the war was because his own Trade Hub had been attacked by the Syphera Consortium.
At the same time, more than 20,000 light-years away, on Earth.
Lin Zhen and Ed were watching the members of Theo Alliance communicate.
“They’re fighting, they’re fighting! The opening show is 20 billion vs 20 billion!” [Blue-Eyes Civilization – Sai Kris]
“Can someone provide a close-up live broadcast?” [Derek Empire – Andre]
“You’re expecting too much. The entire fourth channel has been occupied by the warships of both sides, and they will not let you in to spectate!” [Werner United – Ivan]
“Don’t make a fuss. During this time, only a bunch of Level 4 Civilizations would be fighting each other. There is nothing to talk about here. It will only be interesting after the two Level 5 Civilizations, the Vera Federation and the Syphera Consortium, make a move!” [Black Light Empire – Oleg]
“Okay, although this war has nothing to do with us, we still have to deploy defenses on the Galactic Channel, to prevent the war from spreading to our Second (Main) Spiral Arm! Later I will publish the number of warships that each Civilization needs to dispatch on the terminal!” [Hitria Empire – Sith]
Seeing this, Lin Zhen and Ed also finally understood what the war between the four major overlords of the galaxy was like.
Their preliminary attack alone had a scale of 20 billion vs 20 billion. The number of warships alone was already twice the size of the Human population!
Further, there’s still the main forces that have not yet been dispatched. The tentative attack and defense of the two sides were still in the early stages.
“Ed, I think it’s time we get all of the starless void.”
After being surprised, Lin Zhen looked at Ed and said seriously.
“I am very relieved that Lin Fan is in the Shanhai Pass. As for the secondary arm of the Orion’s Support Arm, it is indeed time to unify it. Dispatch Liang Xingchen!”
Ed thought for a while and nodded. Now that the Great Interstellar Wall project had been completed, the only passage on the front line was guarded by Lin Fan.
To be honest, the Babawi Empire was really not that big of a threat to the Human Federation now. But if the Humans wanted to attack, their strength was not enough.
However, since the entire Orion’s Arm Branch couldn’t be taken down, they will unify half of it. They will then slowly develop the secondary arm over the years.
“Currently, Liang Xingchen already has 3 legions in his hands. Since the Sierra Empire was destroyed, they haven’t moved! It’s not good if they remain stagnant. Also, communicate with the Io Federation. After all, it will take decades to build a territory of more than 10,000 light-years with just three legions!”
“Alright, I’ll talk with Alfie. There should be no problem!”
After the Io Federation had won against the Sierra Empire five years ago, they had been gradually developing and continued to expand their territory.
“By the way, some of the Affiliated Civilizations in the Loulan Star Field have already assembled a fleet-sized combat power. Give them a mission and let them act together, we need speed!”
Lin Zhen thought for a while and then added.
The dozens of Affiliated Civilizations in the Loulan Star Field had been very comfortable in the past five years. The territory of each Civilization had expanded to dozens, to even hundreds of Star Systems.
With the support of the Human Federation, several Civilizations had been promoted to a Level 3 Civilization. After all, the Human Federation had put the technical data for all of the Level 3 Civilizations on sale. Even the exchange points’ needed were discounted by 50%.
As a result, several Civilizations that were at the late Level 2 Civilization stage had broken through to Level 3 in the past five years.
Of course, the biggest change was the fleet combat power of these Civilizations. Under the conscious guidance of the Human Federation, these Civilizations had, more or less, purchased a lot of the Human Federation’s level 4 warships, Energy Shields and Warp Engines.
Therefore, among these dozens of Affiliated Civilizations, even the worst ones now had a reorganized Level 4 fleet, while the stronger ones already had several.
Currently, the Human Federation had enough productivity, but there were not enough personnel to man the built warships. Hence, 80% of the warships in recent years had been exchanged by these Affiliated Civilizations.
From here, one could see how many warships there were, after the current Affiliated Civilizations were added together.
When Ed posted the war mission on the Affiliate System, all of the Affiliated Civilizations were boiling in excitement.
After all, although these Affiliated Civilizations had built powerful fleets, they were useless. They were only around by their own people, who were also Affiliated Civilizations. Therefore, they could fight no one.
But now that the Human Federation had released war missions, the fleets of these Affiliated Civilizations finally had their purpose!
