A few days later, the Silicon Charm army arrived.

The first to arrive, and the first to attack, was the fleet of the commander of Lombardo, the fleet sent by Lombardo to be precise, because the flagship of the fleet was not the "Naobi".

After a barrage of bombardment, the Silicon Legion attacked.

Actually, the bombing didn't make much sense. The fortress is a planet, and relatively speaking, more than 10,000 human soldiers are just a dusty existence. Not to mention that the fortress cannot be destroyed directly, even if the fortress is destroyed, it will not be able to kill the soldiers, and the threat to the soldiers from the bombs dropped by the battleship is almost zero.

Obviously, the bombing was just going through the motions, or rather, emboldening the attacking Silicon Phantom warriors.

With the landing of the Silicon Legion at the fortress, the battle officially began.

It must be admitted that the Grace War King who was drawn to the top did make a bloody investment, and the first batch of Silicon Charm Legions to land exceeded a hundred, and it seemed that they were going to build down the fortress in one go and destroy all the human soldiers above. Unfortunately, Grace was clearly overconfident.

Before the second group of the Silicon Legion could enter the battle, the first batch of the Silicon Legion that landed on the fortress were severely damaged.

Upon receiving the message, Grace was completely incredulous.

It's just that what happened next made him realize that he was not only facing human soldiers here, but also an extremely powerful existence, an existence whose strength was close to that of the War Emperor, at least on par with the top War King, and the strongest existence of the Galactic Alliance.

Prince Kadozo of the Hidden Spirits!

The news came not from the regiments that landed at the fortress, but from the rear, from Lombardo.

Grace knew that there must be solid evidence that Lombardo would remind him and ask him to stop the attack for a while. Leave the second group of legions behind.

The existence of a top-level war king means that it cannot be defeated.

You know, if the enemy is Lombardo, no matter how many legions Grace throws into it, it is impossible to win. With the strength of a top-level war king, you can take out all the silicon phantom warriors of a legion with a single hand. Without restrictions, no matter how many Silicon Charm Legions are used, it is impossible to defeat the top War King.

Grace is self-aware. The attack was suspended at Lombardo's request.

Of course, the battle did not end there.

When Grace asked the second legion to stay, the fleet sent by Lombardo stepped up and took on the task of sealing the fortress.

It's just that what to do next, Grace doesn't know.

Of course, Grace couldn't figure it out.

Just as the fleet rushed forward and continued to bombard the fortress, Grace's battleship was attacked, and without warning.

The attack came too suddenly. Not to mention Grace, even Lombardo didn't react.

Although the flagship of the "Naobi" was not dispatched, Lombardo did not sit on the sidelines, but followed the fleet to the vicinity of the fortress. I didn't send a flagship, but I didn't want to make it too public, after all, it was not only Kuria and other war kings affiliated to Kutum who were staring at this battle, but also top war kings such as Dibab. Lombardo knows very well if he makes it too conspicuous here. Other top warriors will intervene.

At the time when Grace's flagship was attacked and destroyed in one fell swoop. Lombardo is thinking about how he can get Grace or Jordan to take the fort without being suspected by the other top kings. Because of Barnes, this originally uncomplicated issue has now become a bit tricky.

Obviously, whether it's Grace or Jotun. None of Barnes are matches.

Do it yourself?

Putting aside whether Lombardo has the confidence to defeat Barnes for the time being, even if he does, he can't make a rash move, because as long as Lombardo personally stretches out, it is equivalent to putting the reason for intervening in this battle in the hands of other top war kings. It also loses the power to dominate the battle.

Besides, Barnes is the prince of Cardozo of the Hidden Spirit Clan, and the heir to the throne of the Hidden Spirit Clan, and has definitely no less strength than the top war king.

After receiving the news, Lombardo froze on the spot.

It was Barnes who launched the attack?

If so, there is naturally no suspense.

With Barnes' strength, it is certainly not difficult to destroy Grace's flagship in one fell swoop, and to take out Grace.

The problem is that before that, Barnes was fighting in the fortress, and at least Lombardo received the news that Barnes was assisting the human soldiers in the fortress.

Could it be that there is another powerful existence on a par with Barnes?

How can it be!?

You must know that in the Galactic Alliance, Barnes is close to an invincible existence, second only to several royal-level powerhouses. Even in the Silicon Charm Alliance, only the War Emperor has absolute certainty of killing Barnes, and even a top War King like Lombardo does not have an absolute strength advantage.

Obviously, there are certainly no emperor-level powerhouses in the fortress.

Barnes for sure!

Obviously, the only one standing in front of the Silicon Charm army is Barnes. In order to defeat the fortress and destroy the human soldiers who occupy it, this problem must first be solved. Even if you can't kill Barnes, you have to find a way to lure him away. As long as he is in the fortress, he can't take the fortress, at least not the kings like Grace and Jotun. Although Lombardo has a strong confidence in his own strength, he knows very well that it is not yet time for him to come forward, at least not to fight in person. It's just that it won't be too much of a problem for him to come forward to lure Barnes away, at least the top war kings in Dibab won't use this as a reason to send troops to the war.

In fact, the only one who can lure Barnes out is Lombardo.

Grace is dead, and it's Jotun's turn to play. Obviously, Jordan and Grace were half-hearted, and even if they were on guard and were not killed by Barnes, they would not be able to lure Barnes out of the fortress. As long as Barnes fights inside the fortress, no amount of silicon magic can be invested in the fortress.

An existence close to the Emperor of War, capable of easily killing thousands of Silicon Charm Legions.

After thinking about it, Lombardo also made a decision.

While asking Jordan to send the legion over and prepare for battle, Lombardo transferred the battleship "Naobi" from the rear.

It wasn't just his flagship, it was his status symbol.

What's more, Lombardo knows very well that the key is not what Barnes does, but how to build the fortress, to be precise, to assist Jordan in laying the fortress.

If Jordan fails, it's time for Kuria to fight.

Although according to Lombardo's judgment, Kuria is also unable to defeat Barnes, but Lombardo also knows that as long as Kuria is in battle, the battle will be out of control and will no longer be controlled by him. In other words, Jotun can only win, not lose, and must make Jotun the final winner.

Between dealing with Barnes and assisting Jordan, Lombardo had to make a choice.

Fortunately, this is not a difficult choice.

Quite simply, Lombardo is only a top fighter and is not absolutely sure to defeat Barnes. What's more, Barnes is the prince of the Hidden Spirits and the first in line to the throne. Even if Lombardo is simple-minded, he can think that the consequences of killing Barnes are extremely serious. If the Hidden Spirits are allowed to participate in the war in an all-round way and form an alliance with the Human Federation and the Weavers, the Galactic Alliance will be able to unite together, and at least most of the civilizations will unite around the Hidden Spirits and the Weavers, thus breaking out with unprecedented war strength. At that time, even if the Emperor of War comes forward to unify the Silicon Charm Alliance, he may not be able to take advantage of it, and may even suffer a heavy defeat because of it.

All Lombardo had to do was lure Barnes out, and then Jotun would take the fortress under the command of the Silicon Legion. Lombardo knew full well that Barnes was only assisting the Human Expeditionary Force. After the fortress was captured by the Silicon Phantom Legion, Barnes naturally had no reason to continue to work for the Human Expeditionary Force. What's more, the defeat suffered here will inevitably have an impact on the Hidden Spirits, and it is possible that the Hidden Spirits will stay out of the matter.

In addition, Lombardo has every reason to believe that as long as he comes forward in person, it will not be difficult to bring out Barnes.

After the arrival of the "Naobi", Lombardo gave an order to Jotun, who had already arrived, to attack only after receiving an order from him. Before that, they all had to stay outside honestly, and they must not rashly send legions to land in the fortress.

It's just that Lombardo wasn't so arrogant as to go straight to Barnes for trouble.

After receiving Jotun's reply, Lombardo made adjustments to the deployment of the fleet, leaving only a few warships to bombard the fortress and support Jotun in attacking the fortress, and all the other warships were withdrawn, and then a large fleet was formed with the "Naobi" as the center.

In fact, for Lombardo, the biggest capital is the fleet.

No matter how strong Barnes is, he is only one person. Even if thousands of Silicon Phantom Legions can be wiped out with their powerful combat power, no matter how powerful they are on the space battlefield, no matter how powerful they are, they are definitely no match for a huge fleet. Besides, Barnes is only close to a royal-level powerhouse, not a real emperor-level powerhouse. Even if he has a royal-class fighter, he can only deal with a few capital ships at most, and it is absolutely impossible to defeat a fleet led by the "Naobi". Don't forget, the "Naobi" was once the flagship of the Emperor of War, and it can be regarded as the most powerful warship in the Silicon Alliance. If measured in terms of combat effectiveness, the "Naobi" is comparable to the "Divine Mother", surpassing the flagships of the Lei Ling Clan and the Hidden Spirit Clan.

Relying on the "Naobi", Lombardo was confident enough to deal with Barnes, or at least to push Barnes back.

As long as Barnes is pushed back, nothing else is a problem.

After all preparations were made, Lombardo came to the "Naobi" and immediately gave the battle order for the fleet to march towards the fortress.

Not to attack the fortress, but to put pressure on Barnes and force Barnes out.

Of course, in order to achieve this, Lombardo gave the order to fight, and it was an order to attack the fortress. In his opinion, as long as he put on a posture of destroying the fortress, Barnes would come forward to meet the battle, and would never abandon the tens of thousands of human soldiers in the fortress at this time.

Because it was not far from the fortress, the fleet did not make a space jump and flew towards the fortress in the usual way.

It's not fast, and it will take some time, but in Lombardo's opinion, time is not an issue, as long as Jordan is still on the battlefield, it will not be Curia's turn to fight. (To be continued.) )
