Chapter 1074: Retreat

On one side of a huge meteorite belt, on a snowy planet.

Due to the distance from the star, the surface temperature of the planet is low, and it is frozen all the year round, and it is only because of the abundance of certain rare minerals under the thick ice that it has been valued by the high level of the empire, and there are multiple administrative districts on the surface of the planet, where tens of millions of people live all year round, most of whom are employees of mining companies and the population that provides them with various services.

This place originally belonged to the territory of the Ingetyr Empire, but after the outbreak of the war, the Mondello Empire Expeditionary Force marched all the way, and the advance of the troops advanced here before temporarily stopping, and confronted the army of the Ingatyr Empire across the meteorite belt.

On the surface of the planet, near the snow-capped peaks on the central continent, there are a series of military bases, all kinds of air defense facilities, early warning radars, and patrol warships can be seen everywhere, and the huge airport not far away is extremely busy, and a large number of warships and spaceships are constantly taking off and landing.

However, at this time, there were not many troops left here, and a large group of construction robots packed all kinds of materials and equipment in the base and sent them into the cargo hold of the deep space transport ship waiting nearby, and after being filled, they would fly away and land in exchange for another group of transport ships waiting in the sky.

The disastrous defeats of the two important battles before and after have seriously frustrated the advance of the Imperial Expeditionary Force, damaging a large number of fleets and mecha legions, killing hundreds of millions of officers and soldiers, and the fall of many Polestar Martial Gods, the morale of the army has fallen to the extreme.

On the other side, Ling Shuai seized this rare opportunity, and while stepping up the counteroffensive, he mobilized a large number of reinforcements from many star fields in the rear to outflank the main interstellar channel along the first line of Yin Feng, Baishui, and Qianhe provinces, trying to cut off the back road of the Mondello Empire's expeditionary force, and completely block this invading army in the territory of the Ingathil Empire.

The commander of the expeditionary force, Terrence, naturally did not sit idly by, and immediately took countermeasures, taking the initiative to shrink his forces, abandon some of the star fields that were difficult to defend, and retreat to reorganize the defense line hundreds of light-years away, while mobilizing more legions from the country to support.

So far, the two countries have suffered heavy losses and fought a real fire, and there is no way to talk about an armistice, and one of them has to fall completely.

In the core area of this base, in a magnificent palace, you can see fully armed elite warriors patrolling everywhere, one team after another, and each team has a strong person at the level of a Pole Star Warrior, and the defense level can be described as extremely high.

In the small garden behind the main hall, Catherine sat on a stone bench by the pool, staring in amazement at the dark sky above her head. With multiple energy shields barriers, the extreme cold and storms of tens of degrees below zero outside will naturally not affect this place.

"Your Highness......"

A familiar voice rang in my ears.

She turned her head slightly, and saw Berus walking slowly, his breath slightly vague, but it was much better than when he had just fled back from the battlefield, at least he hadn't fallen out of the realm of the Pole Star Valkyrie.

She asked gently, "How is the teacher's recovery from his injuries?" ”

"It's okay, it'll be fine in another month or so,"

Belus looked a little lonely: "That kid is really ruthless, he almost can't come back, and his attack methods are very strange, he can't see the inheritance of the genre at all, it's simply unheard of." ”

Catherine Nadai frowned and pondered, "I remember when I first met him, his true cultivation didn't even seem to be a Polar Star Divine General?" It's only been a long time since you can compete head-on with you, teacher, it's really incredible, even in the records of the past thousand years at the top of the stars, such a character is quite rare, right? ”

Bellus's eyes were full of helplessness: "It's a pity that we happened to meet one!" Now that he is in full swing, it is almost impossible to forcibly obliterate him with the power of the empire alone. ”

The potential and value of geniuses are actually in the future tense, which means that they are nothing now, and no matter how good a genius is, they need enough time and enough resources to grow, and in this process, the genius who dies halfway has no value.

From the standpoint of the Mondello Empire, since the bribery strategy is not successful, it is a reasonable choice to wipe out Qin Feng in advance.

The only thing that Belus didn't expect was that Qin Feng's growth speed was so fast that they didn't have time to continue to implement the eradication plan, and this young genius had already reached a level equal to them, or even higher.

Catherine asked coldly, "Is he really human?" It can't be some powerful alien intelligence species that is perfectly disguised, right? Trying to infiltrate the human world with a plot against you? Otherwise, I really can't imagine that a person can grow at such an astonishing rate. ”

"Obviously, genetic testing at the top of the stars is not an ornament, and no precedent has been found for such a thing so far."

Berus didn't echo his student's brains, Qin Feng was a fake human bloodline, and he had nothing to do with the intelligence of the alien race, if it really existed, it wouldn't be able to hide it at all.

As for the growth rate, this intelligent species that is so big in the sea of stars and more exaggerated than the growth rate of individual human beings seems that there is no second one at all, even if it is some branch of the Zerg, it is only the early growth rate is terrifying, and it will slow down when it reaches the level of the Polar Star God General.

The realm after the Polestar Martial God is even more difficult layer by layer, and many amazing and brilliant characters have basically exhausted their potential after stepping into the Polestar Martial God level, and it is difficult to make progress in their lifetime.

Catherine muttered, "There are still a few Star Control Realm powerhouses in the Polar Star Temple and the Imperial Room, do you want to ask them to strike again?" If this person doesn't die, the negative impact on the future plans of the empire is too serious. ”

Belus was silent for a long time, and his voice was a little solemn: "You know what? Master Pugma urged the holy weapon again last night, trying to deduce and spy on the information about Qin Lan, but he encountered an unprecedented backlash, and immediately vomited blood and fell into a coma, and he never woke up until now. ”

"Really?"

Catherine finally changed color, and asked again with a pale face, Master Pugma is the oldest celestial sage in the Mondello Empire, who has been cultivating in the imperial family for thousands of years, and his cultivation is unfathomable.

Berus nodded, and his tone was low: "This matter is still top secret, but it will definitely not be hidden for a long time, and everyone who should know it will know soon." ”

"How is the Master's injuries?"

"It's very troublesome, the heavy damage caused by the Heavenly Machine's backlash has always been extremely difficult to deal with, according to the news from the medical team, even if the master wakes up, his cultivation will definitely regress, and it is difficult to say whether he can recover in his lifetime."

Bellus's mind is far from being as calm as he appears, Master Pugma can be described as a fixed sea god needle to the Mondello Empire, he and his team of Heavenly Wise Men have made countless contributions to the Empire in previous years, but now they are unconscious, and the shock caused by all aspects is too great.

Catherine's tone was cold: "That's why His Excellency the Marshal plans to temporarily retreat and avoid the enemy's edge?" It's just that it's easy to retreat now, but it's hard to fight back later. ”

"What if not? We don't have much leverage on the table now, and if we suffer another similar defeat, it will trigger a series of negative chain effects, and I am afraid that these provinces that have been defeated now will be lost. ”

Belus spread his hands and said, up to now, this war is still profitable for the Mondello Empire, as long as the government of the Ingatil Empire is forced to sign a final war contract and include the occupied more than ten provinces into the territory of the Mondello Empire, it will be a great victory and a feat that can go down in history.

But if the next battle is not ideal, and the results of the battle that will be eaten in the mouth are lost, then there will be no way to deal with the imperial government and the opposition.
