Orion arm, the star system Horton.

As the military industrial center of the Oaks Empire, 30,000 warships have been stationed here for many years.

Even if there was a series of bad news from the front line, Josel, as the commander of Horton's defenders, was still calm, after all, Horton's external star path was amazingly narrow, even if there were only 30,000 warships, he was confident that with this first pass of the Oaks Empire, he could block the million-strong army of the Kabat Empire.

At this moment, 30,000 warships are presenting a C-shaped formation around the exit of the Star Path, and any warship that emerges from the Star Path will suffer an all-round attack from a 180-degree range of 30,000 warships.

Coupled with this narrow Star Path, which can only pass through 200 warships at the same time, you can imagine that 200 battleships appear together through the Star Path, and then 30,000 warships around you cover and shoot from all angles, do you still have a way to live?

A few months ago, the 800,000 warships of the Leo defenders defended the way of the Sicilian star, of course, only 300,000 warships could fire at the same time, so it can also be understood as 300,000 defenders.

Sicili's Star Path can pass through thousands of warships at the same time, and it was still beaten by the Leo defenders in the early stage with a 1:9 battle loss ratio, which shows that the defenders have more advantages.

Josel looked at the layout of the defensive line on the flagship, and nodded with satisfaction, with a proud face.

"I'd like to see how the Kabat Empire breaks through this defense!"

"Commander Josel, I just received a message from Isa, the commander of the Fourth Legion of the Praetorian Guard, that they are expected to arrive in 17 days!"

"I don't know what Lord Ross thinks, as long as I send the defenders of several star systems around me and give me enough 100,000 warships, I can definitely block the millions of troops in Kabat, why let the Fourth Guards Legion come over to help defend! They should go to the front line! ”

Josel looked unhappy, the galaxies behind Houghton, because they were relatively close to the imperial capital, had a lot of garrisons, basically 1-20,000.

As long as the empire concentrates the defenders of a few galaxies and sends them to Houghton, it will definitely be able to block the Kabat army from taking a single inch.

And the Fourth Legion of the Praetorian Guard has 300,000 main warships, but they don't go to the front line and come here to join in the fun, isn't this a slap in the face!

In fact, Josel completely misunderstood Ross, although the defenders of Leo reported that there were only a few hundred shield warships left in the Kabat Empire, but who knows if there were others.

No one dares to take this risk, if Horton loses it, the empire will not be far from the country!

So the safest way is to let the Fourth Guards Regiment and the 30,000 defenders of Josel go with Horton!

Just when Josel was complaining with an unhappy face, the combat readiness alarm in the battleship sounded!

Josel was so excited that he immediately looked at the tactical screen, but the tactical screen did not show any trace of the enemy ships at the exit of the Star Path.

"What's going on, how can the alarm go off without an enemy!"

"Commander Josel, it's not the Way of the Stars, it's something wrong with our rear!"

As soon as he heard that something was wrong in the rear, Josel immediately panicked, what was his rear? That's a group of battleship manufacturing bases.

If something happens there, the Empire will lose 70% of its warship productivity, and that's no joke!

"Report immediately, what's going on?"

"Commander Josel, according to the report of the rear fortress, 20,000 warships have appeared out of thin air and have launched an attack on us! According to the database comparison, it is the newest warship of mankind! ”

"What, humans? It's impossible, aren't the human beings trapped in Tianyuan IV, and Rao's side has also gathered more than 100,000 warships, and they haven't received the news that they have been breached, even if they are breached, it is impossible to get to our side so quickly, right? ”

"Commander Josel, two human fleets of 20,000 ships have suddenly appeared out of thin air on both sides of our side, and they have already opened fire on us!"

The adjutant shouted anxiously for Josel!

But Josel didn't pay attention to him at all, but ran his brain at high speed, thinking about countermeasures!

What does it mean that a human fleet appears on 2 sides of your own defense? His own fleet is now in a C-shape, surrounding the exit of the Star Road, isn't the human fleet that appeared on both sides behind his two wings?

How can this meet the enemy? Turning to meet the enemy? No kidding!

This is to turn 180 degrees, it will take at least 3 minutes, and when it turns 90 degrees, it will become sideways to the other side, which is the weakest position of the battleship!

Straight-line acceleration to get rid of? What's more, the two wings accelerate in a straight line, isn't that a collision of two wings! Now it's a C-shaped line of defense!

"Commander Josel..."

"What's wrong again?"

"The other party... After scanning, the opponent is all composed of battlecruiser-class warships..."

"Boom..."

Josel was directly stunned, what did his adjutant just say? The opponent's 40,000 warships are all of the battle cruiser class?

More than yourself! Occupy an absolute advantageous position! Or are they all capital ships? Can this battle be fought?

"Commander Josel..."

"What's more, you can't finish it all at once!"

"When our battleship returned fire through the secondary guns, we found that all the opposing warships had energy shields, and our attacks were completely ineffective..."

"Bang..."

Josel fell straight to the ground.

All capital ships .. Energy Shield: Numerical advantage: Location advantage...

At this moment, Josel's mind was full of these words, echoing them repeatedly.

"It's over!"

"Commander Josel, what are we going to do now? If there is no countermeasure, we will be wiped out in ten minutes! ”

The adjutant on the side was also in a hurry.

"It's no longer possible, order the air carrier to release all the fighters, and the whole fleet will turn to meet the enemy, and fight to the death! Try to kill a few of the opponent's warships before you die! ”

"Commander Josel!"

"Carry out the order, by the way, open the com, I'm going to send one last comm to Lord Rose!"

"Yes!"

Eight minutes later, despite the desperate efforts of Houghton's defenders, they still couldn't escape the fate of being wiped out, and they couldn't even bring a little damage to the Federation fleet.

This is the crushing of technology, if the Horton defenders have millions of warships, then they can still fight, and it is still unknown who will die!

But the actual situation is that there are only 30,000 warships, and in the face of 40,000 warships that can crush themselves technologically, it is absolutely impossible to even resist.

As for the fighters that were released, the attack on the battleship's shield could not even compare to the recharge speed of the shield, and in the end it could only end up being gradually wiped out by the battleship's close defense guns.

At the same time as the defenders were settled, Jianghai's Second Fleet also secured the rear fortresses.

Immediately, the three fleets pounced on their next target.

Jiang Hai pounced on the ship-building base group, Liang Xingchen and Lin Fan dispersed their fleets, and a detachment of fleets pounced on the resource stars and the life planet respectively!

After three hours, all resistance across the galaxy had been cleared.

All the planets, as well as the shipbuilding base groups in space, have been completely controlled.
