Chapter 462: Fighting Back (1)
On the surface of the huge planet is a bottomless cave, or sinkhole, thousands of meters in diameter.
Suddenly, a ferocious beast with a body length of more than 1,000 meters and a bit like a dolphin appeared from the mouth of the cave and rushed into the void with a remnant. The silver light around his body was surging, and a ball of blue-white light was already brewing in his mouth, and bursts of terrifying coercion escaped!
However, before it could deliver its own smug blow, hundreds of pillars of dark blue light with a diameter of more than two meters had already locked onto its body! In the next second, the terrifying Ray of Destruction easily tore through its defensive barrier, beating it into a scream!
After two rounds of bombardment, the beast was already dying, and a giant engineering mothership immediately sent out a long-range towing beam, dragging it away from the battleship's firepower coverage area at a rapid pace!
A team of heavy mecha warriors sent out a cutting beam more than 100 meters long, dividing the big guy into several large pieces on the way, freezing it with freezing rays, and then dragging them all back to the huge storage space inside the mothership!
A suspended flying platform with a diameter of 100 meters was speeding at a constant speed in the void, Xiao Junling stood on the edge of the platform, silently looking at an asteroid with a diameter of nearly 1,000 kilometers not far away, and the fierce beasts hidden in it were being led out in groups, and then accepted the baptism of the fleet artillery fire that had been waiting for a long time!
Under the cover of the main guns of thousands of warships, few fierce beasts can break out of the fire blockade circle! Occasionally, a few fish slip through the net, and naturally there will be a second team of battleships to clean up, and there are a large number of supernatural people on standby at any time in the outermost layer!
A large number of fierce beast corpses floated in the void, and were dragged back one by one by the engineering mothership group waiting in the distance, and then cut, frozen, and sent into space containers for sealing!
The whole process was carried out in an orderly manner. It didn't take long. The tens of thousands of dimensional space containers in an engineering mothership have all been filled. And then allowed to evacuate!
"How? Our mercenaries are no worse than your fleet in combat, right? Xiao Yulan, who was dressed in fiery red light armor, had a bright face and a radiant face, smiled and said.
Xiao Junling bowed slightly: "It's very good!" It is worthy of being the most elite fleet in your country, and it is not inferior to the regular army of the Empire! ”
"Of course! Our Stardust Wind Organization has existed for nearly a thousand years, and this fame is not blown! Xiao Yulan said proudly.
After the agreement of the day is signed. The organization quickly sent all the 100,000 elite fleets over as agreed!
As the signature of the "Stardust Wind" organization, this ace regiment is also equipped with all seventh-level warships, and all officers and soldiers are well-trained and experienced veterans! Able to complete the various combat missions assigned by him very well!
Therefore, in the past month, the cooperation between the two sides has been very pleasant! The war is progressing extremely well. Under the continuous clearing under the command of Xiao Junling, the new interstellar fortress has advanced to a position hundreds of light-seconds away from the original base!
And the second combined interstellar fortress has also been transported and officially deployed, these three strongholds are arranged in an equilateral triangle, each side is 500 light-seconds long, and tens of thousands of warships are stationed in each stronghold.
These three bases are the prototype of the base network planned by Xiao Junling, and the bases are connected by hyperspace communication instruments, so that in the event of an attack by a group of fierce beasts, they can immediately send troops to each other. To this end, a large stargate has been erected near each base to facilitate the fleet's rapid teleportation!
During this period. Xiao Junling organized a fleet and repeatedly swept the void hundreds of lightseconds around each base. Kill all found herds of ferocious beasts, looting resources while reducing the range of these hordes of beasts to keep them as far away from the base as possible!
Within the fire control range of the three bases, Xiao Junling selected several asteroids with a diameter of more than 500 kilometers, and transformed them into various logistics maintenance and storage bases one by one, in addition to the garrison, several processing centers were also set up to deal with the corpses of those fierce beasts!
Yuehua's slave chamber of commerce continued to transport a large number of slaves to enrich these newly built bases.
Shangguan Xueyi left after sending him the materials he needed. Xue Qi only came to visit once a week. Only this Xiao Yulan, who needed to coordinate and deal with the joint command between the two fleets, stayed in the base and did not leave.
Xiao Junling is resigned to this, anyway, those mercenary generals who are not inferior and have eyes above the top are indeed not easy to control, and with her mediation, there will always be less trouble. As for the little bit of caution that she wanted to follow her to eat, it was nothing.
Of course, after so many days, Xiao Junling's command talent has already impressed many generals of the "Stardust Wind", including her! The original pride and sense of superiority have invisibly converged a lot!
Xiao Yulan stood on the edge of the platform, looked at the man who seemed to be smaller than her with a slightly complicated expression, and asked with interest:
"You've made a lot of progress in the past two months, but the investment is too great, as far as I know, those two interstellar fortresses alone are tens of billions of energy points! There are also the construction of new bases, the purchase of slaves, the erection of star gates, the payment of salaries to the officers and soldiers under his command, the consumption of various logistics materials, and so on! I'm afraid that there will be nearly 100 billion expenses, right? ”
"Do you think you have any hope of recouping this investment in the near future?"
100 billion energy points, as far as she knows, many big lords can't reach this number in a year! Even those who are more powerful will be cautious about spending such a sum of money, for fear of a little mistake!
However, this Xiao Junling did not hesitate to spend the money, as if he didn't take this huge amount of money seriously at all!
During this time, his progress in Shuotian Xinghe was so smooth, in addition to his excellent command talent, in fact, it was inseparable from his willingness to spend money!
As long as it helps the development of the battle situation, no matter how expensive the equipment and ammunition are, he will not hesitate to order the bulk purchase!
In the face of such a high-configuration army that is willing to burn money and armed to the teeth, it is reasonable that the fierce beast group continues to retreat! Looking at the past history, it is really difficult to find a lord who is willing to be a loser like him!
Xiao Junling smiled: "You just see the side of me spending money, can't you see the aspect of making money?" Now our fleet can capture thousands of beast carcasses every day! After processing every month, the value of various resources transported out of the river is not less than one billion energy points, how can this be called not cost-effective? ”
"However, this amount of money is only enough to pay for our mercenary expenses......" Xiao Yulan questioned in a low voice.
"At present, there are not enough, but that is because the scale of the processing base is not large enough, and many of the loot can only be sealed for the time being, and some of them are digested internally by ourselves! As long as all these planned bases are completed and put into use, the situation in the entire star field can be controlled by us! Xiao Junling didn't mind and said,
"At that time, our monthly income will increase tenfold and it will be idle! Are you still afraid that you won't be able to recoup your costs? (To be continued......)
