Chapter 496: Ambivalence
Although only a very few people know the exact arrival time of the Star Soul Empress, the news that the Star Weaver Clan sent troops to participate in the war, and the Star Soul Empress personally put on the battle has long spread. In addition, when the Weaver Legion will arrive is not untraceable, nor is it a secret.
The most obvious sign is the offensive actions of the Silicon Charm army.
When the outer defense line of the home galaxy fell and the people of the human federation were panicking, the Silicon Charm army did not take advantage of the victory, except for intercepting the spaceships trying to escape from the home system, the Silicon Charm army did not take any other action, did not even harass it, and did not even attack tentatively.
The battle, which was still in full swing, just stopped.
Soon, it occurred to someone that it must be the Weaver Clan Legion that was about to arrive, and after feeling threatened, the Silicon Charm army stopped attacking.
It's just that the federal authorities haven't released any news, so everything related to the Weaver Legion is all rumors.
It's not that the federal authorities are deliberately secretive, but that the federal authorities have not yet made a decision on the issue of an alliance with the Weavers.
Although everyone knows that only the Weaver Clan can save the Human Federation now, if the Weaver Clan Legion commanded by the Star Soul Empress does not arrive, then it will not be long before the Silicon Charm army will occupy the home galaxy, and the Human Federation will be defeated, but in the eyes of some people, there is no need to form an alliance with the Weaver Clan. In the eyes of these people, even if there is no alliance, the Weaver Clan will still send troops to fight. More importantly, the Star Soul Empress led her troops to personally conscript, not to save the Human Federation, but to protect the core interests of the Star Weaver Clan. To put it simply, if the Human Federation is defeated, the Weavers will also suffer heavy losses, and it is absolutely impossible to gain the slightest benefit from it.
Besides, the Weaver Legion is about to arrive, and the Star Soul Empress can't just withdraw with the Weaver Legion just because she hasn't signed an alliance treaty.
hold this view. Not a few.
Prior to this, only the third war zone was actively promoting an alliance with the Weaver Clan, and the other eight war zones did not express their position, and they were all waiting and watching. Even if Yang Yi was sent to meet the Star Soul Empress, it was just a delaying tactic, after all, at that time, including the Hidden Spirit Clan. None of the other civilizations of the Galactic Alliance have expressed their stance on participating in the war, and the Galactic Alliance Council has rejected the war proposal and has not immediately mobilized for war. To put it simply, let the Weaver Legion participate in the war first to reduce the pressure of the war. Whether to form an alliance or not, that's another matter. In any case, it was impossible for the Star Soul Empress to force the Human Federation to form an alliance with the Weaving Star Clan, let alone use the Weaving Star Clan Legion to coerce the Human Federation.
That's right, on the issue of an alliance with the Weavers. The federal authorities are not active.
Up to now, even Zhan Ruilin's attitude has undergone subtle changes. It's very simple, it is not Zhan Ruilin who leads the alliance with the Weaver Clan, but Yang Yi.
Although Yang Yi is not in the home galaxy and cannot participate in the alliance negotiations, and as Yang Yi, he is not qualified to participate in the alliance negotiations, but the reinforcements of the Weaver Clan were found by Yang Yi. Moreover, Yang Yi's personal relationship with the Star Soul Empress is very good, even if Yang Yi is not present. Without participating in the negotiations, the Star Soul Empress would have regarded him as an alliance, and would never treat those federal officials she didn't know as trusted allies.
In other words, the first beneficiary of the alliance with the Weaver Clan is Yang Yi.
With the support of the Star Weaver Clan, there is the big backer of the Star Soul Empress. Does Yang Yi still need the support of others, and does he need other backers?
The answer is obvious and anyone can think of it.
At this time, from Zhan Ruilin's standpoint, this problem is even more prominent.
The key is not the relationship between Yang Yi and the Star Soul Empress. Instead, Yang Yi did not follow the Star Soul Empress back to his home galaxy, but went to Mars.
In fact, after Lin Feng returned to his home galaxy, Zhan Ruilin sensed trouble.
Subsequently, Lin Feng mentioned in the Federal Assembly that Yang Yi had gone to Beacon Mars, and planned to resist the invading enemy there and fight for the final victory, Zhan Ruilin immediately thought of the Star Weaver Clan, the Star Soul Empress, and the powerful army that could turn the situation on the battlefield.
To put it bluntly, why does Yang Yi think that he can defend Beacon Mars?
With Zhan Ruilin's mind, it is not difficult to think that as long as the Weaver Clan Legion arrives and there are reinforcements from other civilizations, the battle situation will inevitably change dramatically, and when the time comes, not only Kutum, but other top war kings will lead the commander's Silicon Charm army to retreat, at least temporarily avoided. There is no doubt that there must be a lot of silicon magic armies flocking to Beacon Mars, and even if they do not withdraw from Beacon Mars to the Northern Alpha System, they will definitely occupy Beacon Mars and prepare for the retreat. In fact, this is the reason why Yang Yi went to Mars. As long as you can control the beacon Mars, block this route, and block the main retreat route of the Silicon Charm army, so as to achieve the strategic goal of encircling and annihilating the Silicon Charm army. As long as it succeeds, it will not only be able to regain the lost territory in one fell swoop, but will also be able to greatly speed up the course of the war. It can even be said that as long as a good battle is fought on Mars, the Human Federation will be able to launch a strategic counterattack with the support of the Weavers.
As the commander of the Third Theater and the marshal of the Human Federation, it is impossible for Zhan Ruilin not to see Yang Yi's intentions.
The problem is that it is definitely not an easy task to hold Mars.
You must know that as long as the tide of battle is reversed, it will not be a few Silicon Charm Legions that will flock to Beacon Mars, but a large number, or even thousands of Silicon Charm Legions.
Yang Yi relied on twenty temporarily armed legions, and they were civilian armed forces, so could they hold Beacon Mars?
Don't say that Zhan Ruilin doesn't believe it, and no one else will believe it.
Of course, even if Yang Yi received the support of the Yu family, and it was full support, such as obtaining more legions and more troops with the assistance of the Yu family, he would definitely not be able to hold Beacon Mars, let alone defeat the swarming Silicon Charm army here that desperately wanted to return to the Northern Alpha Galaxy.
Don't forget, the Jade Family's influence is limited to the Human Federation.
Even if the Yu family has hands and eyes and controls many colonial galaxies, and can find enough soldiers, they will definitely not be able to do anything beyond their own capabilities.
If the Jade family can turn the tide of the war, do they still need the assistance of the Weaver Clan?
So, where did Yang Yi get such strong confidence?
Obviously, the answer is the Star Weaver Clan and the Star Soul Empress!
Although it was just a guess, Zhan Ruilin was sure that it was not only the civilian armed forces that followed Yang Yi to Beacon Mars, but also the Star Weaver Clan Legion, and even the main legion. If the Star Soul Empress is bold enough, she may even hand over most of the legions to Yang Yi to assist Yang Yi in defending the Beacon Mars.
Of course, the Star Soul Empress's courage is definitely not small.
Not to mention anything else, she was able to make the decision to go to war when no other civilization was at war, and she did what she said and went to the battlefield with the standing army of the Weaver Clan, which was enough to prove how bold she was. Besides, the decisive battle of the fleet that took place outside the Goen system, as well as the subsequent confrontation with the Lei Ling Clan's fleet, and the battle on the Slag Star, would also make the Star Soul Empress more confident and trust Yang Yi more.
From another point of view, Kutum, who suffered a crushing defeat in the decisive battle of the fleet, obviously did not have the courage to fight the Star Soul Empress again.
In Zhan Ruilin's opinion, the Star Soul Empress didn't need to bring the Weaving Star Clan Legion over at all, as long as she herself came to the home galaxy, it was enough to help the Human Federation break the siege.
In this way, the Star Soul Empress will pay more attention to Beacon Mars.
In addition, there is another factor that plays a crucial role.
That is, the Lei Ling Clan is also secretly mobilizing for war, and not long ago, the Wanluo War Emperor was still confronting the Star Soul Empress outside the Goen Galaxy. In other words, the Lei Ling clan will soon send troops to the war. From the standpoint of the Star Soul Empress, in order for the Star Weaver Clan to become the leader of this war, it is not only necessary to form an alliance with the Human Federation as soon as possible, but also to achieve a decisive victory before the Thunder Ling Clan enters the war.
Obviously, only if Yang Yi defends Beacon Mars and uses this to encircle and annihilate the invading Silicon Charm army, can the Star Soul Empress command the Weaver Clan to achieve a decisive victory before the Lei Ling Clan enters the war, and only then can the Lei Ling Clan stay outside the battlefield, thus ensuring that the Weaver Clan becomes the biggest winner in this war.
There are so many factors that are enough for Zhan Ruilin to change his position of forming an alliance with the Weaver Clan.
It's just that Zhan Ruilin can't come forward to object.
It's very simple, if he opposes an alliance with the Weaver Star Clan, it is equivalent to a showdown with Yang Yi, and when the time comes, it will not only be Yang Yi, but also the Star Soul Empress.
More importantly, there are not a few people who intend to replace Zhan Ruilin.
To put it bluntly, the commanders of the other theaters opposed an alliance with the Weaver Clan, not because they didn't want the support of the Weaver Clan, but because they didn't want the Third Theater to dominate the matter. If Zhan Ruilin changes his position, then the other theater commanders will come forward and actively promote an alliance with the Weavers. As long as you rely on the big tree of the Star Weaver, it is no longer a dream to become the master of the Human Federation. You must know that the third war zone can overwhelm other war zones, and Zhan Ruilin can become the first person in the Human Federation, and he has never been surpassed in the past thousand years, because in that war more than a thousand years ago, he took the Hidden Spirit Clan, signed an alliance treaty with the Hidden Spirit Race as a representative of the Human Federation, and was supported by the Heavenly Saint Emperor.
Besides, even if you want to oppose it, you have to have a justifiable reason.
The outer defenses of the home system have completely fallen, and the Human Federation does not have enough troops to deal with a strong enemy, so what reason is there to refuse the support of the Weavers?
Obviously, whether it is Zhan Ruilin or several other theater commanders, they can only remain silent at this time.
It's just that the Star Soul Empress will not slow down her advance because of the ambiguous attitude of the federal authorities, and the Star Weaver Legion will not sit on the sidelines.
Lin Feng was the first to return to his home galaxy, mainly to inform the federal authorities about the Weaver Clan's legion.
Since they have already taken a stand on the issue of the alliance and have set the conditions for the alliance, there is no reason for the federal authorities to keep the Weaver Legion out.
Of course, there are also many contradictions within the federal authorities on how to deal with the Legion of the Stars.
Among other things, the views of the federal authorities and the military department are diametrically opposed to whether or not to allow the Weaver Legion to be stationed in the home system.
It's just that as the day of the arrival of the Weaver Legion approaches, no matter how big the disagreement, a decision has to be made. (To be continued.) )
