Chapter 88: The Advance Battalion Enters the Game
"Fight! We must fight!" The representative of the Schmincke civilization shouted at the top of his lungs. He had to shout. The intelligent civilization had such a huge fleet and powerful armed forces that even if they launched the retreat plan now, not many people would be able to escape. The civilization that had existed for tens of thousands of years would become the dust of history and would gradually disappear from the memory of the cosmic civilization. Even if there were only a few wanderers left, could they rebuild the civilization?
As soon as Representative Schmincke opened his mouth, the civilizations on the front line responded one after another. The purpose of their active support for the establishment of this joint fleet was to protect the civilization's territory. If they chose to run away without fighting, then why were they going through so much trouble?
As the calls for war grew louder, even some alien civilizations that had been forced to join the alliance began to shout. It was for no other reason than that the commercial zone was too profitable. The materials and technologies traded in the past few days were equivalent to what they had developed over hundreds of years. If they could continue to absorb the benefits brought by the commercial zone for a period of time, their civilization would inevitably take a giant step forward, and the distant and unattainable seventh-level technology would be within their reach.

Faced with this situation, the human lord representatives below smiled at each other and started shouting. In this feast, these lords who were also in the human camp were the ones who enjoyed eating meat the most with Liu Wen. If they were asked now whether they wanted territory or to maintain the commercial area.

Territory? What territory? Territory is not as good as commercial area. Resources, technology and knowledge are all there. How long do you have to develop a territory and how much do you have to invest to get these?
In order to accumulate enough capital for their own rapid development, these human lords, after tasting the sweetness, became the most supportive group of Liu Wen. They gave people and money to them, just like you run your own company with a monthly profit of millions and zero debt, and the bank comes to you and asks you for loans to expand your business. As long as you open your mouth, we will take care of the loan process and business planning, and you just need to sign.

The atmosphere was stirred up, and Liu Wen stopped wasting time and said immediately: "Everyone, since everyone is willing to fight, then please take this message back and take out your assets. Those who have special weapons should stop hiding them. This concerns the future of all of us."

"I am giving the order now. All squadrons of the Combined Fleet are to return immediately to fight against the intelligent machine civilization in the Schmincke star system!"

After the meeting, although some alien civilizations were hesitant, the intelligent civilization was coming with great momentum and strength, and had already dispatched its main fleet. Their combined fleet seemed to be not at a disadvantage, but it was ultimately just a combination of forces, and many of the forces still had hatred for each other, and their cooperation was not tacit. Not shooting from behind on the battlefield was already giving face to Liu Wen, not to mention their wholehearted dedication.

This massive battle was considered a losing battle by many people. The only difference was how long they could hold out, and how much time they could buy for the alien civilizations on the front lines to retreat.

Although they had many ideas, in the face of the thousands of legion troops of the Combined Fleet, these civilizations still chose to accept Liu Wen's order. After all, if they can't defeat the intelligent machines, can they still kill you?

The United still has a glimmer of hope, and singing a different tune and running away at this time will only lead to certain death.

A day later, when nearly a thousand legions of the intelligent civilization marched in, occupying several light-time void intelligent fleets and approaching the Smincke star system like a dark cloud, the forces of the combined fleet also gathered together.

Relying on the defense system established in the Schmincke star system, various void turrets are densely packed like a group of meteorites. Many high-powered and ultra-long-range fortress cannons stand on simple platforms and aim at the intelligent mechanical fleet outside the star system.

"I never thought that one day I would be able to command a fleet of thousands of legions to fight the enemy. In my imagination, after struggling for hundreds of years, it would be a very respectable future to be able to become the commander of a branch fleet of a legion."

Michelle stood in the command room, facing the dark and dense intelligent fleet that occupied most of the field of vision, and spoke to Wu Shuhe beside her.

Wu Shuhe rubbed his brows tiredly: "I am the same. As someone who didn't even make it into the top 300 of my class, how could I imagine that I can help you complete this battle now? If my family knew where I am now, I'm afraid they would have to contact a psychiatrist to come to my house for service."

"When you applied for the position of commander of the Star Fleet, did you ever think that our boss would be able to develop so fast?" Wu Shuhe asked.

Michelle smiled bitterly, "How could I have imagined this? At that time, I just wanted to be a commander and gain some experience here before applying for the Human Alliance Fleet. I didn't know that under the leadership of the boss, the group would change every day. In just a few years, it expanded to a level that many lords could not reach in hundreds of years."

"Are you leaving now?" Wu Shuhe asked with a smile.

"Leave? This is my home, where else can I go?" Michelle's tone was firm, as if she really regarded the Star Sea Territory as her home.

"Report to the commander, all fleets are in place and the special weapons submitted by the alien civilizations have been deployed. Please give instructions!" A staff officer ran over to report.

"Order all combat units to stand by." Michelle connected to the intelligent center and began to organize battlefield data, while Wu Shuhe was also busy sorting out related matters.

The fleet of the intelligent civilization continued to approach, adjusting its formation as it advanced at 30 percent of the speed of light. Thousands of reconnaissance ships flew to various parts of the star system, and detection radars scanned everything in the star system unscrupulously.

Many blocking devices and shielding devices were deployed in the void and turned on to the maximum. Various anti-detection devices were activated at the same time. Faced with the intelligent mechanical reconnaissance ship that was too close, the person in charge of the area decisively opened fire and destroyed it to avoid exposing the defense deployment in the area.

While the two sides were testing each other, Liu Wen, who was in charge of the rear, was meeting with Yang Zhenshan, the major general and deputy commander of the advance battalion from the People's League's 12th Operations Department.

"Major General Yang, please take a seat." Liu Wen warmly greeted Yang Zhenshan, who was at the seventh level of the fusion stage in front of him. The other party was born in the Immortal Palace, and although he was dressed in military uniform, the artistic conception of unity between man and nature on his body made people feel refreshed, so naturally people ignored the meaning of his military uniform.

"My lord, you're welcome." Yang Zhenshan casually bowed in return, signaling the others behind him to do as they pleased.

Liu Wen personally poured a cup of spiritual tea that was said to be produced by the Divine Court and handed it over. Then he asked, "Major General Yang, why are you here at this time? Is there anything the Human Alliance needs my cooperation with?"

Yang Zhenshan took the tea and took a sip, feeling the rich spiritual energy mixed with the pure power of Shinto's faith entering his body. He nodded slightly, feeling very satisfied. This lord could be dealt with.

"Your Excellency Lord of the Star Sea, the purpose of my coming here is naturally for the intelligent civilization. According to the investigation of the Human Union Intelligence Department, this intelligent branch originated from the Plato Superstar Cluster and is directly affiliated with the third sequence of intelligent machines. It has currently occupied the Tuomu Thunder Star System. The only one who appears here now is the personal force of an intelligent life sequence number 03-308 who entered the No. battlefield."

"Is it just a personal fleet controlled by intelligent life?" Liu Wen looked at the other party in surprise.

Yang Zhenshan nodded: "That's true. The structure of the intelligent civilization is different from ours. Each intelligent life is the master of one side. The intelligent civilization will provide them with a complete set of technological systems and basic personal weapons, and then let them go out to explore their own territories and develop technology."

"Therefore, each intelligent life can be regarded as an independent kingdom. The intelligence currently detected shows that the intelligent life with serial number 03-308 already has a complete galaxy as its base and has built a legion of more than one million. You are just one of his hundreds of attack directions." Liu Wen frowned after hearing this. The size of the opponent's galaxy is beyond their ability to cope with. Moreover, judging from Yang Zhenshan's expression, it seems that the Human Union does not intend to send troops to directly expel it from the No. Development Star Field. This is quite interesting.

Liu Wen had no way of knowing what the higher-ups of the Human Rights Alliance were planning, and they would not tell him directly. To put it cruelly, Liu Wen's size was not worthy of the Human Rights Alliance's serious treatment. As the deputy commander of the advance battalion, Yang Zhenshan was able to appear here because of the power of the Combined Fleet under his command, otherwise he would probably not show up at all, and would have simply taken over the fleet in accordance with wartime decrees at the critical moment.

"The Operations Department hopes that you can hold back this fleet. Our advance battalion will take action to stabilize the situation at the critical moment, and the Operations Department will also provide logistical support."

After Yang Zhenshan finished speaking, he drank his tea and waited for Liu Wen to think slowly.

Liu Wen didn't think much about it, because he had no say in what he did. This was just a notification, not a discussion.

"No problem. I will fully cooperate with the work of the Human Rights Federation Operations Department." Liu Wen patted his chest and assured: "As long as the Operations Department issues a task, I will resolutely execute it."

Yang Zhenshan smiled and waved his hand: "Your Excellency the Lord is indeed a human elite. What the Human Union lacks is a human backbone like the Lord."

The fancy sedan is carried by everyone, the commercial flattery during pleasant negotiations does not cost any money, and everyone is happy, so why not do it.

"Let me give you a heads up, Your Lordship. This time the advance camp has dispatched a large group of people. We will fight in the name of the Star Sea Territory Special Forces. However, unless it is a critical moment, it is best not to use the seventh-level combat power. The intelligent machine side will also increase the number of combat troops accordingly." Yang Zhenshan kindly reminded.

Liu Wen nodded in agreement, and at the same time signaled his secretary to go and meet the staff brought by the other party and add them to the combat sequence.

While eating and drinking, the two of them admired the real-time combat projection of the front line. From time to time, Yang Zhenshan also commented on Michelle's combat deployment. Liu Wen was very cunning and sent all the other party's instructions to Wu Shuhe, asking them to quickly adjust the combat deployment in a targeted manner. Although there was some delay in time, the combat of thousands of legions was not flexible enough, and even if there was some delay, it would not affect the fleet's combat deployment.

Through the projection, Yang Zhenshan naturally discovered this situation. He had just finished commenting on the front line and the deployment was revised according to his words. How could he not be clear about the reason?

Yang Zhenshan, who discovered this, was not angry at all. Instead, he began to control the remote control with great interest. As a major general in the Human Union, although he had no experience in commanding thousands of legions in battle, his internal combat data and rich battlefield experience made his deployment much stronger than Michelle's, who was forced to do something. He seemed more calm and composed in dealing with his old rival, the intelligent mechanical civilization.

On the battlefield, the fleets of both sides interspersed and surrounded each other, creating a beauty of order in the chaos.

Within an area with a diameter of hundreds of millions of kilometers, billions of fighter jets of the intelligent mechanical civilization were flying around at will, but the Joint Fleet did not dare to release any fighter jets at all and could only rely on a large number of defense systems for interception.

The battle between the two sides cleared a large area of ​​the asteroid belt, and the metal wreckage produced by the explosion of the battleship became a new obstacle.

As energy was wasted, the loss rate of the Combined Fleet's warships rose rapidly. In more than two hours of fighting, nearly 300,000 warships and a large number of defensive weapons were reduced, and the number of damaged warships returning for repairs reached millions.

The combat effectiveness of the combined fleet dropped by nearly 20%. On the other hand, the large mobile fortresses of the intelligent fleet fired crazily. The energy beams of the fortress cannons with a diameter of hundreds of meters penetrated the entire battlefield. All the battleships below the fortress level along the way turned into a pile of wreckage floating in the void.

The battle became more and more fierce, and the casualties of the Combined Fleet began to rise sharply. The fleets of both sides were intertwined and surrounded each other.

Seeing that the tactical goal had been achieved and the special weapons mixed in the fleet were in place, just as he was about to give the order to use the special weapons to attack, the intelligent mechanical fleet was the first to put them into use.

Visible ripples spread from the intelligent fleet toward the combined fleet at the speed of light. After the warships along the way came into contact with these ripples, various devices inside them crashed and were forced to shut down. All equipment that relied on energy supply became ineffective. The warships became iron coffins, flying by inertia, and were blown up on the spot by the subsequent naval guns.

"Damn it, use all the special forces equipment immediately, don't hold back, go all out!" Michelle shouted at the top of her lungs.

Thanks to the vast battlefield space, the ripples spreading at the speed of light could not immediately cover the area, so most of the special weapons were successfully launched. Among them, some special weapons that needed to be detonated internally were detonated prematurely due to ripples encountered along the way due to their defense mechanisms.

In the end, out of the more than 200 special weapons launched by alien civilizations, only more than 300 successfully penetrated the intelligent fleet, less than half of the number launched.

Special weapons developed based on the four basic forces of the universe exploded, a large number of intelligent warships were destroyed, and the firepower projection suddenly dropped significantly.

At this time, the Combined Fleet was also hit by the unknown capabilities of the intelligent machines. The ripples pushed by hundreds of points at the same time quickly covered most of the battlefield. Nearly half of the Combined Fleet's warships were damaged and forced to shut down, becoming living targets. The intelligent warships that were not caught up in the special weapons attack frantically output firepower, focusing on attacking the main warships of the Combined Fleet, causing the Combined Fleet's firepower output capability to drop rapidly.

"After the special attack of the intelligent civilization, immediately activate the Storm special ships and destroy all the fortresses of the intelligent fleet." Michelle's forehead was sweating and he looked nervous. The losses of the joint fleet were too great at this time. More than 17 million warships from thousands of legions were used as living targets and blown up in just over ten minutes. Most of them were battleships used as firepower output. As a result, more than 300 legions lost their command system and collapsed.

Because the intelligent fleet is commanded by the intelligent life behind it, there is no possibility of command system failure. Even if there is only one warship left, it can still output stably.
