At the beginning of 2460, on the edge of the deep space theater of operations, a total of 485 planets are now quietly occupied by unmanned units, and the number of unmanned units that can be put into operation is approaching 5 billion.

After Nana's meticulous preparations, the unmanned legions, totaling more than 1 billion, set sail from various star systems and entered the elephant-class mothership one after another to begin the leap.

A war seems to be about to start, and it will take months for the first contact with this 400-light-year war zone, even the closest to each other.

In the Cosmic Void, Wells' spaceship is followed by an unmanned legion that has set off from a local planet, and in addition to them, there are at least 10 or so Pioneer small organizations, as well as an ace army called "Triumph of Victory".

Wells looked at the starry sky in the distance, imagining that there were countless allies in the darkness, and from the grapevine he knew, the dispatch of more than 10 million unmanned units and 20,000 pioneers on the planet was extremely unusual.

In the cabin, several pioneers of blood feud are still playing mahjong boringly, which is said to be a popular traditional entertainment in the country of Night Rabbit, with the rise of retro sports in recent years, it has once again been popularized by humans.

The leader of their tactical team, the leader of the Blood Feud Regiment, walked in and raised his hand to signal to the surrounding crew, "Everyone, I have a message... This time it's a big operation, codenamed Swarm. ”

Just as everyone turned their heads in anticipation and tried to understand the details, their regiment commander shook his head: "The battle plan is kept secret, and when you get close to the war zone, you will naturally know the details, anyway, you just need to know that it is a big operation." ”

"Boss, what is big?" Another crew member asked.

"What do you think of the battle that will affect 55 star systems?"

At this moment, if there is an opportunity to consult the military information of the map of the galaxy. Notice the new movement in the Deep Space Theater, with 55 extra red dotted lines on the map representing the direction of the legion's travel.

Each dotted line stretches out from an uninhabited planet, spanning tens of thousands of astronomical units or even light-years, connecting to a planet occupied by the unknown.

There are several red dots of varying sizes on each dotted line, some representing unmanned legions. Some of the ships representing the Pioneers were scattered at first, moving in the direction of the end with the red dots, and all the forces were slowly being integrated.

And this is Operation Swarm, a large operation that affects 55 star systems, directly throwing the legions of many uninhabited planets in the rear into the front line in a brutal way, opening up dozens of planetary war zones with fierce conflicts, and forcibly colliding with the unknown.

500 million unmanned regiments were mobilized, and 2 million pioneers in the expansion department were recruited. There are also no less than 200,000 regular soldiers of the future Sixth Fleet, and their strength is not strong after being distributed among the 55 star systems.

However, Nana's battle plan is obviously not so simple, in the final analysis, the above is just the surface of the swarm operation, and the real target is probably only the participating commanders, the bosses of the development department, and the staff officers who assist in formulating the battle plan will know the truth.

In the year 2460, after a voyage that lasted several months. Most of the troops are close to their targets, planets of all kinds. Some are dark gray, some are silver, some are pale yellow, some are dark green, some are blood red... Planets of all sizes, some of which are dwarfs. Some are terrestrial planets with a diameter of 40,000 kilometers, some are gaseous planets... The unknown number on it varies, from a few million to as many as 10 billion, and some are like a great flood that has annihilated the planet. There are not many natural landscapes to be seen, and some of them are unknown but have just been developed here, and their nests have not yet been established.

If anything, there are no signs of activity on every planet.

"Are we targeting this planet?" Wells looked at the planet under his feet, according to the planet map, the unknown number on it was about 80 million, relying on the 15 million unmanned legions on their front, and 50,000 pioneers, it was not very difficult, it was like a routine clean-up activity.

The pioneers of the Blood Feud Group stepped into their positions, and there was already a fierce conflict ahead.

The unmanned army at the forefront of the formation gradually closed and converged, and a cloud of silver dragons gradually appeared in the starry sky, stretching for hundreds of kilometers, rushing towards the unknown on the surface of the planet.

The Unknown Legion was facing head-on, and the war between the two sides was not long in orbital space, and the ships of the blood feud also shuttled through it, facing the oncoming enemy and letting out their own rage.

"Watch ahead, gravity cannon!" A command sounded, the crew in charge of maneuvering in front nervously entered the parameters, the only gravity cannon in front of the spacecraft fired, and the invisible gravitational force distorted Fang Yuan's space for hundreds of kilometers, pulling the originally scattered unknown together.

"Beam cannon, beam cannon, catch on! No, use the Death Light! There are too many of them. Another voice rang out.

On the battlefield where the situation suddenly changed, an inconspicuous crimson pillar of light pierced the starry sky, destroying hundreds of thousands of unknown legions in an instant, and winning a beautiful result, in the entire deep space theater, it was actually just an inconspicuous point.

If you look at the entire planet, you will find that the same thing is happening in more locations, the unmanned legion suppresses the unknown on the surface of the planet, and the human race is harvesting in it, but because the human race itself has its own exclusive unmanned legion, it makes no sense to divide the credit too clearly.

Gradually, the war in orbital space was pushed to a height of several kilometers, and the fierce conflict caused the land to be swallowed up by clouds of dust, and a storm belt up to 100 meters high continued to envelop the planet, stretching for more than hundreds of millions of square kilometers, equivalent to the size of the Pacific Ocean.

If you zoom in and out of the field of view and put it into the entire battlefield, then you will see an even larger scene, where every planet seems to be lit up, which is the glow of various beams, electromagnetics, gravity, and strategic weapons firefights, they are so striking that they are about to turn into part of the self-reflected light of the stars, and can be observed from a distance.

Of course, there are still many unknown legions on the planet that have the advantage, even if the unmanned units that enter the area to fight are as high as 50 million, and the human soldiers are more than 200,000, and with strategic weapons, in the face of those planets with a total amount of more than 10 billion, it is not without much benefit to rashly set off a full-scale war of attrition, so the style of play here is conservative.

The significance of the swarm operation lies in this, not that all 55 star systems will be conquered, but in the final analysis, it is a constant toss, consuming unknown living forces, and laying cover for the real goal of the operation. (To be continued.) )
