A strong enemy is coming!

The big battle is coming!

It's time to come, but it's still coming after all.

Ever since Thoamide Tart and the others were captured, Qin Tian knew that sooner or later there would be a big battle with the Garan Empire.

After all, the defection of Entez caused a lot of commotion in the Garan Empire, attracting a frenzied pursuit by the Sixth Fleet.

According to Tolamide's confession, he and the chief of staff of the Sixth Fleet launched a two-way pursuit, among which the 21 starships led by Rency had been operating less than 100 billion kilometers away from the planet Halak.

With a distance of less than 100 billion kilometers, for a first-level civilization starship, it is simply 'within reach'.

It's a pity that Luncy didn't expand the search range to a large enough size, and went back without finding the planet Harak, and the toamide tart cleverly modified the space jump data and directly reached the killing range of Qin Tian's test explosion neutron pulse bomb, which turned out to be a super tragedy.

With the loss of 11 starships, the Sixth Fleet will certainly not rest on its laurels.

Therefore, Qin Tian had always believed that the Sixth Fleet of the Garan Empire would make a comeback sooner or later.

Fight, or flight?

The answer to this question had already been thought out by Qin Tian.

Planet Harak cannot afford to be lost, once this place is touched by the Garan Empire, then in this large area of trillions of kilometers, the traditional sphere of influence of the Marauder civilization will be taken by the Garan Empire, so it will be followed by the planet Adams, the planet Bor, and the planet Dastan...... And finally, the Earth of the solar system!

Topamide Tart and the others were detained for a month, and Qin Tian also got to know them for a month.

Judging from their speech and demeanor, and from their ideological concepts, Qin Tian felt that the Garan Empire was not so easy to get along with.

In the tens of thousands of years of history of the Garan Empire, they have witnessed the rise and fall of countless countries, participated in countless wars and bloody battles, experienced various ups and downs, and along the way, this empire has always been majestic and powerful, why?

It is not their aggressiveness and recklessness to use force, but their interests are paramount, inclusive, and inclusive.

In the face of a strong enemy, they will choose pragmatic cooperation.

In the face of the weak, they will not hesitate to conquer and domesticate.

Look for opportunities in crisis and cooperation in chaos.

From the beginning of a feudal farming civilization that was not strong, the Garan Empire has gone through many eras such as steam industry civilization and electrical industry civilization, and has become stronger and stronger instead of declining, gradually unifying the entire Garan planet and beginning to march towards the space age.

Along the way, the tens of thousands of years of history of the Garan Empire, I don't know how many countries have been destroyed, how many enemies have been killed, and similarly, they have also annexed and subjugated many countries and nations.

Today's Garan Empire, with a population of hundreds of billions and tens of millions of various interest groups, is a super behemoth.

And to quote the words of the tomine tart, the routine of the Garan Empire to conquer other civilizations is actually very simple.

Either submit to submission or conquer with iron blood.

If you agree to submit to submission from the beginning, it must be a comprehensive submission in many fields such as politics, military, science and technology, industry, education, etc., accept the jurisdiction and rule of the Garan Empire, and accept their reform, and this is the price that the people of low-level civilization must pay if they want to become Garans.

And if there is a strong resistance, then the Garan Empire will spare no effort to conquer and fight, mobilize heavy troops to attack and continue to besiege, until the other party is knocked down and convinced, and then after being occupied, it is natural that the population will migrate and the land and minerals will be occupied.

The hundreds of billions of people in the Garan Empire are very easy to dilute tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of people, they are a very diverse culture, and the compatibility is very strong, so after being inclusive, there are almost no races, and they still want to resist.

The metaphor of the Garan Empire is like a huge sponge, which absorbs everything, embraces it, and uses its powerful 'dissolution' ability to melt all civilizations and races together through time.

Of course, the toamide tart also made an estimate.

If the Garan Empire came to this star field, then the solution would be simple.

One by one, the interstellar warships are gathered here, and those who want to resist and resist will be wiped out, and those who want to submit will all be transported away by the interstellar giant ships, and sent to different planets of the empire in batches, starting with second-class citizens, and constantly improving their points through study, work, and paying taxes.

The vacated planets will be developed and immigrated by the major interest groups of the Garan Empire to become industrial planets, living planets, and so on.

Hundreds of billions of Garans will quickly dilute and merge the billions of people of the Marauder Civilization and get married, have children, work and live in different places, or in many years, who will remember the Marauder Civilization? I am afraid that the ancestors will forget where they are!

Therefore, the Garan Empire is not only powerful in force, but their ability to integrate should not be underestimated, after all, they have too many people and too many interest groups.

It is difficult for a foreign nation, after being scattered to all parts of the Garan Empire, can still pass on the national culture, and can also reproduce and inherit the bloodline, maybe there will be all kinds of discomfort in the first few years, but after a long time, many things will be forgotten.

Just like a farmer who has been farming for generations, if one day the farmer's son is admitted to university and stays in the big city to work, study, get married, and have children, then the farmer's grandson has lived in the city for a long time and has never returned to the countryside, will he remember the customs of the countryside? Will he be able to farm and work? Will he know the villagers?

Further, the grandsons of the farmer's son, the grandsons of his grandsons, the more descendants in the future, they are already urban people, accustomed to urban life, who still remembers the farming culture of the ancestral period?

……

It was precisely because he knew the power of the Garan Empire that Qin Tian would rather fight to the end than be conquered and domesticated.

He is a descendant of the dragon, but he is not a Garan!

If you want to conquer and domesticate the human civilization of the earth, where can it be so easy?

Qin Tian also wants to make the human civilization on earth become an advanced civilization that is the same as the Garan Empire, or even stronger than them, of course he does not accept conquest and domestication!

Therefore, in order to protect the earth's human civilization from catastrophe, the best way is to completely cut off the path of invasion and expansion of the Garan Empire in the star field of the planet Halak, so that they can't find Adams and Dastan, so they can't find the solar system and the earth, and they can't threaten the earth's human civilization.

One mountain can't accommodate two tigers!

The development concept of the Garan Empire is to constantly invade, expand, annex and tame, and such a concept is bound to conflict with the growth and growth of human civilization on the earth.

And the only result of the conflict, that is, war!

To put it simply, everyone wants to be the boss and doesn't want to be bullied and ruled, so the only way to win is to win by force, whoever has the big fist will save him to be the boss.

Of course, if there is a tie, then shake hands and make peace, and the well water does not interfere with the river water.

The Garan Empire had never negotiated such a statement about low-level civilizations, and Qin Tian had never thought of conquering and domesticating the Garan Empire, he only wanted to fight for the human civilization on Earth.

Use a big war to scare and convince the Garan Empire, so that they dare not invade rashly and expand arbitrarily, and fight for precious peace and development time in the most critical period of the development and growth of human civilization on the earth.

This battle, if it is fought well.

The Garan Empire will no longer continue to expand to planets such as Adams and Dastan, and the human civilization on Earth will continue to flourish in a peaceful environment, climbing the technology tree and becoming an advanced civilization.

And if this battle is lost, then everything is naturally over.

Qin Tian has died on the battlefield, and he can't care about what will happen to the human civilization on the earth in the future.

……

Inside the command center of the USS Ares starbattleship.

Qin Tian, who had long known that there would be a war, had arranged a lot of monitoring and early warning equipment in the trillion-kilometer star fields such as Halak Planet and Kabola Planet long in advance, and any disturbance could be quickly reported.

Even in order to strengthen early warning, Qin Tian also arranged many large-scale deep space automatic observation stations at a longer distance, carrying a large number of advanced reconnaissance instruments and equipment to observe and monitor the vast starry sky in the distance.

In this way, Qin Tian arranged two defensive warning nets, the outer layer was the key direction monitoring, and the inner layer was the whole star domain coverage.

Therefore, when Luncy, the chief of staff of the Sixth Fleet of the Garan Empire, led 21 interstellar warships, stretching for millions of kilometers, and the mighty superluminal speed rushed in, it immediately triggered Qin Tian's outer warning network to send out an alarm, and such a large-scale fleet dispatch was of course a prelude to the coming war.

On the command platform, a highly condensed starry sky had already appeared in front of Qin Tian's eyes.

In the dark background, there are countless stars, represented by white points of light, and the closer planets are embedded like marbles.

In this holographic virtual stereoscopic display of the situation map, the 21 Galan Empire starships that are approaching at high speed are represented in red, and their formation is particularly strange, in the shape of arrows, and the distance between them is also very large.

Such an interstellar flight really made Qin Tian a little incomprehensible.

The formation is too bizarre, it doesn't look like a sailing formation, and it doesn't look like an attack formation.

"Strange! Are they sailing across the galaxy? How do they look like they're training! If they attack in such a scattered formation, it would be too arrogant and arrogant!"

Qin Tian frowned, keeping an eye on their movements.

The distance is getting closer.

This menacing starfleet is still about a light-year away from the planet Halak.

For low-level civilizations, the distance of one light year is too far, more than 9 trillion kilometers, if you can't make a space jump or fly at supersonic speed, it is simply a distance that you can't cross in a lifetime.

However, for Luncy's fleet, a light year is nothing, and at their current speed, it will only take about 47 hours to reach the planet of Halak.

And this also means that the battle will inevitably start in two days, and if Luncy lets the fleet speed up, then the time will be advanced.

"How to fight this battle?"

Qin Tian stared at the situation map closely, his mind thinking quickly.

Judging from the current navigation posture of the enemy, they are neither like attacking nor like sailing, scattering spacing and maintaining formation, which is somewhat similar to the feeling of 'attacking and defending', which means that they can launch a group attack at any time, and can also be switched to a formation defense.

At the same time, such a formation can also bring an advantage, that is, it can expand the reconnaissance and search range, because the reconnaissance and sensing ability of a single warship is limited, and after 21 warships deploy a super formation, they can form a very large reconnaissance and sensing range.

It's like looking for something in the grass, one person goes forward to search, the search range is limited, if ten people, a hundred people, or even more people, line up in a row to keep a certain distance, everyone goes hand in hand to search forward, naturally the search range is larger and more efficient.

Combined with the previous active confession of the Topazine Tart, it was not difficult for Qin Tian to guess that Renxi, the chief of staff of the enemy's Sixth Fleet, must not know the exact location of the planet Halak, so he would use such a strange formation to search and advance, and at the same time be able to attack and defend together.

What a safe plan!

"Thoamide Tart is really not wrong, this Luncy is really a conservative, conservative in tactical thinking, and forward-looking, so it is not surprising that he arranged such a formation!"

Qin Tian picked up the teacup and took a sip. "The question is, how to break the defense? Lunxi's formation, which can attack and retreat, is really a bit like a turtle shell, and it is difficult to smash it open!"

While thinking about the tactics of the campaign, Qin Tian first calculated the comparison of the situation of the enemy and us.

Although the Sixth Fleet of the Garan Empire is missing 11 warships, it can be regarded as a scourge by the unlucky bastard of the Toramide Tart, but the remaining 21 interstellar warships in Renxi should not be underestimated, all of them have reached the level of first-class civilization, with 2 super star destroyers, 5 heavy ships and 12 attack cruisers, plus 2 high-speed combat comprehensive supply ships.

Those two supply ships can be ignored for the time being, that is, ammunition supply and battlefield maintenance workers, and they can be regarded as combat ships with a certain combat effectiveness, but their combat effectiveness is not enough to attract attention.

In contrast, Qin Tian values the 19 real combat ships more, according to the category of warships of the Garan Empire, the super star destroyer is the strongest, as the name suggests, it can blow up a planet with one battleship, which is equivalent to the combined version of 'interstellar battleship + interstellar mothership', attack power and protection power, needless to say, it is also the most powerful.

And the heavy ships of the Garan Empire are equivalent to interstellar battleships, but their functions are slightly weakened, and as for attack cruisers, they are equivalent to interstellar destroyers.

As a result, the balance of power between the two sides is very large.

Star Destroyer (Star Battleship + Star Mothership), two to zero.

Heavy ships (weakened versions of interstellar battleships), five to two.

Attack cruiser (interstellar destroyer), twelve to eight.

In this battle, the number of warships sent by the Sixth Fleet of the Garan Empire was extremely advantageous, and although Qin Tian's 10 warships had a certain advantage in single ship performance, they had a particularly obvious disadvantage in numbers, especially none of the Star Destroyers.

However, Qin Tian also knew where his advantages were.

The first is the God of War and the Raptor, these two interstellar battleships are both at the pinnacle level of first-class civilization, in other words, it is definitely not a big problem to take out the opponent's heavy ship with one against two, and even have the ability to single out the opponent's star destroyer, and the combat effectiveness of the Dragon Soul-class interstellar destroyer is not bad.

Secondly, Qin Tian is waiting for work, within a trillion kilometers of the Harak planet, he has been operating for a long time, and for this battle, he has made full preparations for the battle, and has made great efforts in the construction of reconnaissance and early warning networks and the laying of mines in key waterways, which is equivalent to having an advantage in obtaining information.

No, Qin Tian dared to bet that the enemy's Sixth Fleet, which was in the same formation, definitely didn't know how far away the planet of Halak was, and they hadn't realized that they were going to encounter a tough battle, and they didn't know that they were about to burrow into the ambush circle carefully constructed by Qin Tian.

In the end, Qin Tian was lucky before, allowing Toramide Tart to accidentally lose 11 starships.

Originally, Qin Tian planned to transform and upgrade by himself, and after 'flashing the machine', he used it for his own use, but it turned out to be too difficult and had to let the Monopoly system use equipment to recreate skills to turn them into the God of War, but the previous transformation preparations were not in vain.

In order to 'brush the machine', countless intelligent robots have put a lot of effort into it, and all kinds of reconnaissance and research have almost made every battleship familiar with it.

Coupled with the active explanation of the tormine tart, Qin Tian knew even better, not to mention the Sixth Fleet, in the eight fleets of the entire Garan Empire, almost many large warships lacked combat training, and almost after the successful construction and delivery, they rarely went out of the port for training, let alone actual combat, the Garan Empire had not fought for many years, the exercises and drills were mere formalities, and most of the warships lacked due maintenance.

Therefore, don't look at Lunci, he led 21 battleships majestic and domineering, but his battleships, maybe there will be small problems and small problems in the battle due to poor maintenance, and at that time, maybe the small problems will also be fatal.

In short, for Qin Tian, this battle was like a 'home battle' fought at home, with the right time and place, and the insufficient number of troops, it was no longer a matter of concern.

Right now, Qin Tian is thinking about how to win the maximum result at the lowest cost.

How do you win cleanly and with minimal losses?

In Qin Tian's mind, a weapon suddenly appeared - neutron pulse bomb!

At the beginning, Qin Tianzheng tried to explode this enemy-killing weapon, but as a result, Toramide Tart led 11 warships to break in by mistake, and was tragically annihilated because of the poor protection of the space jump just ended.

Now, Luncy's 21 starships are maintaining a faster-than-light search formation, and they will inevitably turn on most of their reconnaissance and sensing equipment in order to carefully detect and accurately perceive.

It's like walking in the dark, of course, your eyes widen and you try to see the road clearly.

Imagine what it would be like if there was a sudden flash of light at this time? If you are not blinded on the spot, you will be blinded for a short time, so that you can't see anything, and your eyes will be damaged.

On the battlefield, of course, it is 'to attack the enemy's weakness with one's own strengths', and there can be no sympathy and pity, and mercy to the enemy is cruelty to oneself.

Just like two soldiers meeting in a narrow way, one side's magazine has been empty, and the brave one gets on the bayonet to rush up to fight, and the other side happens to have ammunition, at this time only a fool will change to a bayonet to fight the other party, wouldn't it be more convenient to shoot directly and knock down?

Just like now.

Qin Tian waited for work and prepared sufficient ammunition for this battle.

Now that they know the direction of their fleet, and know their trajectory and speed, why not lay a vast minefield on their way?

What neutron pulse bombs, gravity bombs, super large-yield nuclear bombs, antimatter heavy space mines, etc., whatever is powerful, put what, and wait for them to rush up and blow up, even if they can't all be killed directly, at least they can be damaged a lot, instead of stupidly sending a fleet to rush up for a bloody battle, that would be too stupid and naïve.

Of course, the high-spirited Renci, he only knew that it was not long before he caught up with the adventurous fleet of the Marauder civilization, and he was one step closer to becoming a knight, but it was impossible for him to be unpredictable.

He didn't know that the direction he was pursuing was the planet Harak, the habitat of Entez and other defectors who had been hunted down or killed by the Emperor's Black Pupil, who claimed that they must be hunted down or killed no matter what the cost.

He didn't know that further ahead, life and death were uncertain and dangerous......
