Players are actively preparing for the follow-up war, and the Great Demon King is not unaware, and the frequent invasion of several galaxies by dotted and sporadic ships cannot be an accidental phenomenon. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

The ultimate goal of the Great Demon King is to destroy human society, but in this process, the enemies are actually only divided into two kinds - the player, and the entire industrial society that provides logistical, industrial and other support for the player.

The player's single strength in the second world is not worth mentioning at all, but with the support of the social system, he is completely an unkillable little powerhouse, so in the early stage of the confrontation, the big demon king will definitely not put his main energy on the player group.

Eliminating the social support system in the Galactic Era is a more difficult task than ever, so the Three Demon Kings can only endure when they are scouted, and slow down the pace of human counterattack by redistributing the combat power of the frontline galaxy, waiting for the response of the other side.

Such redeployments can achieve the purpose of delay, but they also have serious drawbacks.

After a second round of high-damage reconnaissance, which was a bit embarrassing for both the military and civilians, the Federation fleet organized a counteroffensive against the K10.

The Federation Fleet sent the 16th and 17th fleets on this mission, followed by nearly 400 mercenary ships from the Gabry Federation. The number of followers is small, which shows that players are not waiting to see the swarm of biters.

With a large chain of command, the decisions made by the Federal Campaign Command cannot be described as decisive. However, the scope involved in a jump circle is too large, and it takes a lot of time to search for enemies, re-accelerate, maneuver, and fight when clearing the swarm of insects in the jump area. When the fleet cut into the K10 and almost wiped out half of the swarms guarding the gate, the support force was detected through the wide-area reconnaissance equipment, which was significantly larger than the expected total amount, and had to leave behind a small number of rear troops and hastily withdraw to the K11.

The first large-scale official counterattack ended abruptly, and a large number of returning warships obtained very valuable actual combat records in enemy-occupied areas for humanity, plus some records brought out earlier during the rout of the Blue Country, and humanity has a preliminary understanding of the composition of the space force of the swarm. Moreover, from the calculation of pure combat losses, the Federal Army's operation in K10 this time was advantageous, and after excluding the most basic combat units of the swarm, the estimated battle loss ratio was still about 1:3.

The federal commander, having a slight advantage, did not have a hot head, kept his senses, and began to urge the federal mercenaries to provide the second wave of reconnaissance data as soon as possible.

Players are not naturally afraid of the memory of death, and after the results of the specific agreement came out, they also put together special funds to maintain a high combat recovery speed for the scouts, compared to the huge scale of the two sides preparing for war, the cost of reconnaissance for a single galaxy is extremely low, generally only two or three high-speed aircraft-carrying reconnaissance ships can complete the task, and the cost of high-speed aircraft-carrying reconnaissance ships that can only carry one or two fighters is lower than that of conventional medium-sized patrol ships, and the number of thousands of star coins distributed to thousands of ship owners is a negligible number, Just 30% of the discount through fully tax-free refueling can maintain more than 120 single-galaxy reconnaissance missions per month.

Under this cost, the federal mercenaries did not hesitate to distribute reconnaissance missions, and the execution of orders without delay was almost like an official reconnaissance detachment.

Depending on the mission, the second round of reconnaissance will be carried out only against K8, and the reconnaissance will be conducted in conjunction with the Federal Command. At the same time, the Federal Command began to actively communicate with the Imperial Command, asking the Imperial fleet to cooperate in the next round of counterattack operations.

Although there are many contradictions between the two sides, the current situation also requires them to work together, not to mention that once the recovery is truly completed, the side that pays more will get more support from the allies and thus more benefits, and the empire is certainly not willing to give up all the good things to the federal army. After dozens of hours of negotiations, the Federation paid part of the operational data and reconnaissance intelligence, and the Imperial Command promised that the Northumbenda fleet and the Frontier Legion Karla fleet would be engaged in the next round of counterattack operations, but the Twelfth Fleet of the Federation participating in the next round of operations must temporarily obey the command of the Imperial fleet in the enemy theater.

The Federation only invested one regular fleet in the next round of counterattacks, and the Imperial side invested two fleets including a border legion, and it was natural for the Imperial side to obtain on-site command, but the Federation people were not stupid, and asked the Imperial Command to give guarantees that they would never let the Twelfth Fleet take on the task of breaking off when the situation turned bad.

After the initial results of the negotiations, the federal mercenaries reconnoitred and handed over the manual tabulation data to the federal command four hours later.

According to reconnaissance data, the size of K8's swarm has increased by about 10% compared to the previous round of reconnaissance, considering that the swarm has a large number of existences that are good at stealth, and this is not the first round of confrontation, unless the other party is not under the leadership of the Great Demon King, it must be prepared, and the mercenary table suggests that the scale should be calculated at least thirty percent of the margin and won the approval of the command.

The top management of the NPC is not stupid, they just can't recognize the nature of the "world", and after a lot of confrontation, they have already realized that this group of bugs is far from the unorganized and undisciplined rabble of the first human-insect war.

Out of an abundance of caution, the Federation Command and the Imperial Command had another tactical discussion, and two hours later, when the second counterattack fleet began to accelerate out of the defensive zone, the composition of the fleet was completely different from the results of the previous talks.

In order to obtain higher tactical timeliness and ensure a low reconnaissance distortion rate, it is necessary to speed up tactical movements, and the simplest is not to change the proportion of combat power composition of the two sides, and directly use the larger fleet to carry out the mission. The Imperial side sent the Royal Fleet Tulip Legion and the Royal Fleet Eagle Legion, and organized about two hundred civilian warships, and the Federation also sent half of the Fifth Fleet, the only main fleet of K11 at this time.

By the way, the K11 Empire's comprehensive strength in the fleet is more than that of the Federation Army, in addition to the Imperial Fleet itself, each fleet has a sufficiently complete ship composition to use more varied tactics, and the Empire can also make it easier to requisition civilian forces, for example, the civilian warships participating in this operation are all from the lords of the Imperial Mercenary Army, which is itself the strongest group of civilian forces.

The overall scale is almost four times that of the previous round of counterattacks, and there are naturally more stragglers who follow suit, about 2,000 warships of various types from the Empire, the Federation, and the K11 local have started the hyperspace jump program after following the large force, and there will be K11 local ships to participate, also because the Federation Command released news to organize a second round of counterattack operations in the early stages of negotiations with the Empire.

Due to the participation of the Federation's main fleet and the two Imperial Royal Fleets, there are more than 300 cruisers in the second round of counterattack operations against K8 alone, even if half of them are light cruiser models more than ten years ago, it is undeniable that the cruiser part alone has exceeded the overall combat power of the first round of counterattack contact! It is precisely their existence that makes followers gather, and it looks like they want to get K8 back in one go.

However, facts have once again proved that a real multi-galaxy battle is completely a competition of the comprehensive strength of the warring parties, and the front-line armed forces are only one of many links, which may be very important, but they cannot instantly determine success or failure.

The large-scale fleet jumped into K8 and only had a short fierce confrontation, and as soon as the operation of clearing the area around the jump point began to accelerate, the swarm obtained any information and left no chance for humans, and disappeared from ordinary radar reconnaissance in ten minutes.

There are a large number of hyperspace information integrated systems in the official fleet for special reconnaissance, although it is not safe, but the high-density and high-frequency scanning can still confirm that the swarm has been fully contracted, and the retreat direction is directed at K8G3!

The environment of K8 is very mature, among which K8E2 is a potential rock star that has just evolved a large area of ocean due to the decrease in surface temperature, and the gas star K8G3 has more than a dozen natural mineral stars without atmosphere, which is very suitable for development if it is not located in a special position on the resistance front. But this favorable environment now caused very big problems for the second round of counterattack fleets.

This group of insects is very special, they have a certain radar wave absorption capacity and can also carry out physical stealth, in the normal space environment can also use the hyperspace information system to identify to a certain extent, once they enter the environment with thin gas particles, it will be more difficult to be found, especially gas stars such as K8G3, the influence range of its thin gas particles can often exceed a million kilometers distance, which is simply the natural ambush area of insects.

If there is enough time for hyperspace information analysis, the combined fleet can find out the bugs little by little and bombard them, even if it is on the surface of the planet, I am afraid that no one will be held accountable if it directly blows up the planet.

However, the huge number of K7 swarms has always been a destabilizing factor in the commander's mind, and the combined fleet will not have much time, and even if it only goes to the center of the star system, it may encounter swarm sniping from all directions.

From the reconnaissance data to K11, to the swarm of the garrison jump circle began to shrink, the total time is six hours, which also means that once the battleship group breaks into the important area of the K8 galaxy, it is likely to be attacked by a massive number of swarms in just a few hours, and eight hours may be enough for several hyperspace jumps, but it is too few for the bugs that will be invisible in a certain area.

It's very risky, but you can't do nothing.

Under the unified dispatch of the Imperial Fleet, the Combined Fleet began to set up reconnaissance points, which is completely different from the reconnaissance network set up by K11, this time using the ultra-long-range reconnaissance equipment developed by the Empire for long-term surveillance of enemy-occupied areas in large-scale battles, and the series name is Eyes of Darkness.

The shape of the Eye of Darkness resembles a powerful fighter, and its length is also more than 30 meters, forming an anti-radar polygonal integral stick, in fact, it is also a fighter on the ship. The launch is very simple, after setting the conservative range and observation area, it is dropped in the same way as a fighter, and then it is left alone.

According to the conservative range setting, the Dark Eye will keep a distance from the observation area and observe the orbital motion close to the set orbit, usually avoiding the ecliptic plane as much as possible in order to avoid encountering regular patrol fleets. At the same time, the breakpoint direction sends pulse compression packets to the designated area, and the effective receiving range of pulse packets is very large, which can exceed 20 million kilometers without the interference of large planets, and can also ensure that the data is not lost within a distance of 5 million kilometers under the campaign-level electromagnetic suppression with long duration, wide range and low intensity.

The reason why the Eye of Darkness is an enemy theater reconnaissance vehicle, in addition to the special communication mode, its observation mode is also more similar to a scientific research observer, and at the same time uses large-caliber physical observation and spectral observation, the stability brought by low orbit and low speed allows this observation method to identify celestial bodies with a diameter of five meters within two million kilometers, and the accuracy of observing large celestial bodies in a range of 10 million kilometers is also good, similar civilian observation equipment is generally used in asteroid belt prospectors, of course, its cost is far from being comparable to ordinary reconnaissance arrays, It's even a little more expensive than a powerful fighter.

In addition to dropping a certain number of Eyes of Darkness to facilitate the subsequent reconnaissance data collection of K11 in the K8 jump circle, the Imperial Fleet carried out a tactical area torpedo strike on K8E2 after communicating with the commander of the Fifth Fleet of the Federation!

The tactical area torpedo can be said to be the representative of space torpedo weapons, which can be completely distinguished from missile weapons, and its strike range can cover the entire star system, and the internal strike effect of a single shot of a standard warhead on planets with an atmosphere is equivalent to 50 million tons of TNT equivalent, and within five rounds can cause the movement of the earth's crustal plates! If it weren't for the low size and speed of the torpedo, it would also become a forbidden weapon, and the price of one of these things would cost 100 star coins, dozens of times that of conventional missiles.

The Empire does not use exactly the standard warhead, with half of the enhanced penetration warheads, the enhanced penetration warhead will release five to twelve missiles and more than sixty decoy penetration missiles in the final stage, and the configuration of five missiles can be directly equipped with the warheads of conventional missiles in space warfare, including fusion warheads, fused warheads, electromagnetic interference warheads and a series of other types.

A total of 300 tactical area torpedoes were fired, and depending on the settings, they would attack several preset targets at the same time after a hundred hours, and if effective, should be able to deal heavy damage to the area where the K8 swarm could be stationed, and would not cause planetary melting.

After doing the tricks and feet in the jumping circle, the second counterattack contact of the human swarm was over, and a large number of ships returned to K11 intact, and what to do next depends on the reaction of the swarm.
