Chapter 218: Defenders Fall.
Originally, it was not a big deal for 2 billion Level 5 Civilization warships to attack the defense line of the channel, as any alliance could easily eliminate them.
The problem was that there was not a single Level 5 warship on the Vera Alliance’s current defense line. Although the armed forces on the defensive platform can also effectively attack the Level 5 warships, it was a defensive platform after all.
The biggest problem of such fixed defense platforms was that it cannot dodge! This resulted in a 100% hit rate for the Buckland Republic warships on the defense platform. On the other hand, the defense platform’s hit rate on the Buckland Republic warships was quite low.
Seeing that the defense platforms on the defense line were constantly being destroyed, Oleg had an ugly expression on his face. Although the number of defense platforms on the entire defense line was tens of billions, he couldn’t stand such a rate of loss!
Without the cooperation of Level 5 warships, simply using the defense platform to block, the battle loss ratio was too large. On average, 10 defense platforms could be exchanged for one Buckland Republic warship.
The number of defense platforms that can participate in blocking in the middle of the defense line was also only 2 billion, which meant that the Zola Alliance could break through Oleg’s defense line at the price of up to 200 million Level 5 warships. By that time, Oleg would need to face not only the front, but also a rear attack. The entire defense line would collapse in an instant!
“Is this the end?”
Oleg naturally also analyzed the trend of the battle. It was just that he lacked absolute power in his hands and could not completely stop the advance of the Level 5 warships of the Buckland Republic. At most, he could only destroy and weaken their forces as much as possible.
However, instead of waiting for the opponent to break through the defense line, having them hide behind their own line of defense, it would be better if they take the initiative to attack and pull the opposing Level 4 warships into a melee.
Even if they were doomed to perish here, they must make the other party pay a high enough price!
Currently, the battle losses of the two sides were about 2 billion for the Zola Alliance and 3 billion for the Vera Alliance.
If the Level 5 warships of the Buckland Republic made a complete breakthrough, then Oleg, who would be attacked from both sides. He would inevitably suffer a sharp increase in losses.
Although the Vera Alliance still can’t escape the ending of total destruction, if the Zola Alliance wanted to destroy the remaining 7 billion warships, they would need to pay the price of losing at least 5 billion warships!
Thinking of this, Oleg strengthened his resolve.
“Order all of the fleets on the defense line to form an assault formation. Launch an attack on the Zola Alliance’s incoming assault formation. Force them into a close combat with us!”
“Yes, Commander Oleg!”
The sudden actions of the Vera Alliance made the Commander of the Zola Alliance’s Expeditionary Force a little confused.
He saw that the 7 billion defenders suddenly gave up their defense line, forming an assault formation from both sides of the channel and then rushed forward!
The Buckland Republic fleet, which was undergoing the central breakthrough, was even more stunned. What was the Vera Alliance going to do?
If the defenders of the Vera Alliance just gave up the defense line and charged at them, what would be the significance of their breakthrough? What was the point in advancing towards the opponent’s defense platforms?
Several million of distance may take a long time to cross for a Level 3 Civilization, but for the Vera Alliance, it was only a matter of minutes.
Since this sudden move of the Vera Alliance was unexpected, the Commander of the Zola Alliance had not made a corresponding countermeasure yet. Hence, the Vera Alliance’s fleet on both sides had broken into the array of the front-line offensive fleets of the Zola Alliance and started close combat within their formation.
The reserve fleet at the rear of the Zola Alliance and the Buckland Republic fleet, which was breaking through at the forefront, were at a loss at the new development. Looking at the mixed 17 billion warships of both sides that were fighting together, they could not provide any shooting support.
If they blindly fire, they may hit their comrades instead of the enemy. In the end, they could only watch the battlefield, which was in the middle of the fierce melee.
On the 25th day, the defense line in the direction of the Second Main Spiral Arm, the Vera Alliance’s Silver Heart Channel, fell.
From the Commander-in-chief Oleg down to the lowest of Officers, none survived. The entire 10 billion warships of the entire defending army were destroyed.
Of course, affected by Oleg’s last crazy move, the Zola Alliance was also not in a good situation.
Among their Level 4 warships, they lost 8.5 billion (most of which were lost in the melee combat in the last days of the battle), while the Level 5 warships lost more than 300 million. All of which were lost to the Vera Alliance’s defensive platforms.
It could be said that although the Zola Alliance won, it was no different from losing. They had five times more warships than the enemy and were the superior force. Yet, the battle damage they received was unsatisfactory!
Just when the defense line of the Vera Alliance on the Silver Heart Channel fell, Molos of the Freedom Alliance also got the news, which made him extremely excited.
He knew about the fact that a group of warships delivered from the Zola Alliance to the Freedom Alliance, were attacked by the Theo Alliance in the middle.
But what he didn’t expect was that this group of attackers was not the Theo Alliance, but the Vera Alliance, who imitated the warships of the Theo Alliance.
Molos quickly figured out the reason why the Vera Alliance did this. It was because if this was successful, the Zola Alliance and the Theo Alliance might also start a war.
Molos had to admit that he admires Verto. While fighting with himself, he still managed to lay down a backhand to prevent the other two alliances from taking the opportunity to expand after the war.
It’s just a pity that all this was just in Molos’s thoughts. If he knew that the real driving force behind this incident was the Theo Alliance, he probably wouldn’t be this carefree.
Today, three of the four major alliances had been involved in the galaxy war, but the Theo Alliance was still on the sidelines.
After the Zola Alliance broke through the Vera Alliance’s Silver Heart Channel defense line, they could be considered to have completely opened the external portal of the Vera Alliance. Their remaining fleet of more than 40 billion also did not stop, and immediately rushed towards the territory of the Vera Alliance.
Just when Verto was rushing to mobilize the forces in the Vera Alliance, and even prepared to mobilize some of the forces in the Freedom Alliance’s battlefield to block the army of the Zola Alliance, a not-so-good piece of news arrived.
The Freedom Alliance announced that it had added 50 billion more warships to the Silver Heart Channel!
