It only took a short distance for the Mothership Ewen to stop. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Why did they stop again?" Spred asked, confused.

"I guess I realized that the Kazlan mothership wasn't all launched." Dart thought for a moment and replied, "After losing nearly half of the mothership, the Ewen seem to have been overly cautious again. After a moment's hesitation, he added, "It can't be said that this is bad, after all, since the beginning of this battle, it has always been the Ewen side that has been losing the mothership, and the Kazlan mothership can be said to be almost unscathed." Without knowing what the Kazlans would have done to follow, if the Ewen fleet had insisted on attacking despite the risk of losing half of its mothership. Once the Kazlan side did use the new means, the defeat of the Eun Empire was a foregone conclusion. ”

"What's more." At this time, Zhou Xin, who had been staring at the picture on the screen, spoke, "In this kind of battle situation, even if Ewen does not put the mothership into the battlefield, for them, the battle situation is a little more difficult, and it will not be defeated. ”

The ensuing battle situation was indeed just as Zhou Xin judged, after the attack of the Kazlan mothership, although the offensive of the Eun fleet was slightly delayed, it did not take long for it to launch a strong attack again. This put great pressure on the Kazlan fleet, which had far fewer warships than the opposing team, and they had to shrink their defensive line again, and the entire northern continent was completely exposed to the noses of the Eun fleet. However, fortunately, all the attention of the Eun fleet is now focused on destroying the Kazran fleet, so there is no threat to the ground for the time being.

At the same time, thanks to the previous blockade of the Eune fleet by the Kazran mothership, while Kazlan contracted the defensive line, Zhou Xin and the others were finally able to see the figure of the support fleet from the ground. The Kazran line held out for a few more minutes or so, and the Kazran warships, numbering about four hundred, joined the weakest position of the battle line. Although there is still a certain gap in the number of warships between the two sides, it no longer has the obvious disadvantage of the past. Coupled with the superiority of the defenders, the Kazlan fleet was able to hold its own line.

After the support forces joined, the scorching battle lasted more than four hours. During this period, two more Kazlan motherships used their attacks to support critical positions on the front. However, even so, the mothership Eun, which was stationed in the rear, did not join the battle. When they saw that the six motherships that had been attacking at the beginning of the battle had returned to the battle line, Zhou Xin and the others sighed in unison that the Eun mothership had lost the best opportunity to join the battle.

In the ensuing battle, I don't know if it was a mistake or accident, and even Zhou Xin and they didn't notice that one of the Eun fleets was too densely formed, but the Kazlan mothership seized the opportunity. Three more flashes of light appeared on the battlefield in the same direction, and after nearly a hundred warships disappeared under these three rays, the Ewen fleet could only retreat once more, ending the battle. Kazran, for his part, once again pushed the front back to its original position.

Over the next half month, a battle would break out between the Empire of Eun and the Republic of Kazran from time to time, lasting between four and eleven hours, with an interval of about six to eight hours. In the continuous outbreak of battles, Zhou Xin and the others were able to clearly see the military disadvantage of the Kazlan side, the most obvious being the disparity in the number of warships. In almost every battle, the number of warships of the Kazran fleet was always a little less than that of the opposing side. Moreover, all the battles were initiated by the Eun side, and the Kazlan fleet was completely passively beaten. Although Kazlan is now in a defensive state, being so passive in defense makes Zhou Xin feel too passive. Of course, considering the mothership in the rear of Eun on standby, against such a negative Kazlan fleet, Zhou Xin did not criticize too much.

On the tenth day of the battle, three of the five Eun motherships that had retreated early in the battle due to injuries returned to the battlefield again, which made Zhou Xin surprise them with the industrial capacity of the Ewen Empire. What surprised them even more was that not only had the mothership been repaired, but that during the fifteen days of the battle, between 100 and 300 warships had been added to the battle sequence on both sides every day. Of course, the number of support warships is slightly more than Kazlan's every time, which is one of the reasons why Zhou Xin thinks that Yuen's comprehensive strength is stronger than Kazlan's.

At the same time, in the course of these ten days of fighting, except for the first two battles, the Ewen mothership participated in the battle, and in the later period of time they did not join the battle because they were afraid of the Kazlan mothership's ability, even after the three motherships joined on the tenth day. On the contrary, it was the Kazlan mothership that showed itself in every battle, saving the critical defense line of the Kazlans many times. Of course, this also has something to do with the fact that the Kazlan side is slightly inferior in combat effectiveness, and every time the mothership is always forced to attack, relying on the assistance of the mothership, the Kazlan fleet can barely maintain the battle line, which also makes them always passive in the battle, and basically cannot grasp the initiative in this war.

As for the approach of the mothership Eun, the opinions in the command cabin are clearly divided into two factions. One of them believes that the Eun's approach is too conservative and that it cannot be completely avoided from the battle just because there is no countermeasure against the Kazlan mothership. Especially after the attack of some of the Kazlan motherships, it is better to fight the danger of losing some of the motherships. In fact, the Kazlan mothership has performed in every battle, on the other hand, the Yunn mothership, except for the initial battle, has completely become an ornament in a large number of battles in the future, and it has not played the role that the mothership should have at all.

Others believe that it would be better for the Eun motherships not to join the battle, and that having these motherships in the rear of the fleet can form a sufficient deterrent to the Kazlan side, so that the Ewen people can take the initiative in their own hands. I didn't see that the Kazlan side never dared to take the initiative to push the battle line outward throughout the battle, and even rarely pursued when the Ewen fleet retreated, which was obviously afraid of the Eun mothership in the rear. Once these motherships are in the fray, it would be fine if they could gain a decisive advantage, but if they suffered heavy losses like the previous two battles, it would be difficult to exert sufficient deterrence on the entire line of defense in the following battles, and perhaps allow the partial Kazlan fleet to seize the initiative in the battle and find a breakthrough in the encirclement of the Eun. If this is the case, the next development of the battle will go in an unpredictable direction, which is clearly unacceptable.

No matter how heated the discussion in the command module was, the battle in space was still going on in a step-by-step manner. Although every battle was thrilling for Kazlan, for some reason, they were always able to withstand the opponent's attack. This made Zhou Xin, who was watching the battle in the command cabin, feel quite incredible, but as the battle went on for more than ten days, this incredulity slowly turned into a habit, and for them now, the Kazlan defense line was breached, which might make them feel even more strange.

While the battle was going on, the ongoing reconnaissance operations of the Atlas and Voyager did not stop. Of course, most of the surveys so far have already been completed. However, what Zhou Xin didn't expect was that even in this situation, Atlas still made a new discovery.

On the seventeenth day of the battle, just when Zhou Xin and the others were focusing on the first battle that broke out between the two sides, the little girl's excited voice sounded in the command cabin.

"Brother Captain! A major discovery! A major discovery! ”

Since Zhou Xin's attention has been focused on the battle recently, after hearing Atlas's report, they still can't react. Zhou Xin was slightly stunned, and finally realized what she was talking about when Atlas repeated it a second time. After a short period of recollection, Zhou Xin subconsciously asked, "Is there any new discovery on the surface of the planet?" He thought about it, and all he thought about was that it seemed that only the exploration of the planet's surface was not yet complete.

"No, no." The little girl shook her head again and again, excited that she didn't sell it this time, but directly said the results of the investigation, "People have finally cracked the internal database of the Ewen Empire, and at the same time, they have successfully hacked their military communications." Then she said with some rejoicing, "I didn't expect the encryption method they used to be so strange, if it weren't for some clues exposed in the battle, it might take a while for people to figure out the way." ”

After listening to Atlas's words, Zhou Xin couldn't help but be happy. In fact, if it weren't for her report, Zhou Xin would have almost forgotten about this matter. After all, this investigation began when the Voyager had just arrived here, but unfortunately there was no progress for a long time, so Zhou Xin had long lost much hope, and now Atlas brought up this matter again, which was tantamount to a surprise for Zhou Xin.

After the surprise, Zhou Xin asked directly: "What new discoveries have you made?" ”

"Brother Captain, you definitely can't think of it." After being excited, Atlas returned to his previous naughtiness, and after whetting everyone's appetite, he continued, "The establishment of the entire space city was originally for a big conspiracy. ”

Hearing this, everyone in the command module showed a look of surprise on their faces, and Zhou Xin asked in disbelief: "No, the establishment of such a large space city is just for a conspiracy?" What kind of conspiracy could have allowed the Ewen Empire to build such a large space city? ”

At this time, the little girl began to explain in detail: "Actually, they didn't plan to build such a large-scale space city when the plan first started. According to the information surveyed, when the space city was first planned, it was only one-tenth the size of what we see now. But as the plans continued to change, the city grew to the size we see today. ”

"A tenth is not too small." Spred continued, "What kind of plan is it that requires them to build a space city in order to carry it out?" ”

"In the previous investigation, it has been introduced that the predecessor of the Ewen Empire was actually formed by the alliance of three countries." Atlas did not directly state the specifics of the plan, but instead mentioned the history previously investigated in the Community's base.

Zhou Xin nodded and continued: "Then these three countries occupied the entire southern continent, and then established the Ewen Empire, what does this have to do with the plan you mentioned?" ”

"At the beginning of the establishment of the Eun Empire, due to the implementation of a high-pressure ruling policy in the occupied areas, the domestic environment was relatively stable at the beginning." Atlas then goes on to talk about a history that has not been mentioned before, "However, as the entire empire gradually shifted its focus to the war of aggression against the Republic of Kazran, its control over the country also weakened considerably. As a result, some of the descendants of those who learned the truth in the former occupied territories began to stir up. ”

"Only a small percentage of these people eventually chose to join the community, but most still have the idea of regaining their country or even independence. However, although the Ewen Empire has relaxed its internal rule a lot, it has not yet reached the point where they can openly oppose it in the open, so these rebels can only operate in the shadows and wait for an opportunity to become independent. ”

"With the intensification of the Ewen Empire's foreign invasion, the activities of those who rebel have become more and more frequent, and finally they have even organized a certain force in the local area. Under such circumstances, the upper echelons of the Ewen Empire naturally discovered the actions of these people. However, since the battle against the Republic of Kazran was at a fever pitch, and the rebels were only operating underground, they did not openly show rebellion against the Empire. Therefore, although they knew about the existence of these people, the Ewen Empire did not have the energy to deal with them for the time being. ”

Later, with the inaction of Ewen's officials, these rebels became more and more emboldened, and eventually even reached a semi-public level. It can be said that in addition to the fact that no overt declaration of independence was made, part of the territory of the empire was in fact under the control of these people for a long time. If it weren't for the defeat of the Ewen Empire in the foreign war, I am afraid that the entire empire would have suffered the consequences of division again. ”

Later, the defeat on the northern continent forced the Ewen Empire to withdraw all its troops, but it also gave them the opportunity to sweep away the resistance from all parts of the country. After a few years of clearing away the apparent power of the rebels, some of them once again went into hiding when they saw that the situation was not good. ”

"For the restored stability of the empire, this time Eun's upper echelons are wary of those who resist. So, then, a plan was born for them......"
