The Barak system, the home base of the main army of the Weavers.

Although this is an extremely large star system, in addition to the main sequence star, there is a slightly smaller companion star, and dozens of planets of various sizes, as well as countless asteroids, dwarf planets and moons, but in the heart of the North Alpha Galaxy, the Barak system is not huge, or even inconspicuous, because there are similar star systems everywhere in the vicinity, and the distance between adjacent star systems is less than ten light years.

Due to the destructive exploitation of resources, the Barak system fell hundreds of years ago. Most of the capable inhabitants have moved to other star systems, and only a few small populations still live here, with no place in the Silicon Alliance. In addition, most of the planets have been abandoned due to the depletion of resources, and there have been no silicon people to settle down for a long time. Although the environment and conditions of these planets are harsh, not suitable for survival and long-term habitation, they are not a big problem for the main army of the Weaver Clan, which is only temporarily stationed here. Because they don't have to face the natives, after entering the Barak system, the main army of the Weavers doesn't have to sweep around.

In fact, this is also the main reason why the main army of the Weaver Clan chose the Barak system.

After the human expeditionary force commanded by Yang Yi stopped advancing, the main army of the Weaver Clan rushed to the front. Although he had the support and assistance of the Silicon Charm army under the command of Curia, in order to avoid affecting the prestige of the Dragon Empress, Curia has remained behind the main army of the Weaver Clan, mainly responsible for taking over the captured star system and establishing a ruling order with the Dragon Empress as the honor, so as to achieve the purpose of consolidating the rear. Since there was no direct aid from the Silicon Legion, the Star Empress would try to avoid the star-populated star systems when choosing an attack route. Under normal circumstances, the main army of the Weavers will capture a star system with few inhabitants, establish a base to advance, and wait for the arrival of the Silicon Charm army led by Curia to continue the advance, and Curia will be responsible for sweeping the nearby star system.

It's just that the main army of the Weaver Clan has been staying in the Barak system for almost half a year.

According to the plan made before, after occupying the Barak system, the main army of the Weaver Clan will only need one month to complete the construction of the advance base, and Kuria should also lead the Silicon Charm army to arrive at this time, while the main army of the Weaver Clan will continue to advance. Because the Silicon Charm army under the command of Curia did not arrive on time, the main army of the Weaver Clan did not continue to advance. Of course, there are other reasons.

That is, it is no longer possible to march forward.

After capturing the Barak system, the main army of the Weaver Clan did not stop, but strictly followed the plan, while building an advance base, while arranging reconnaissance ships to go out to detect the enemy's situation, and at the same time monitoring the nearby star system to prepare for the next march.

The discovery of the reconnaissance ship announced the end of the marching operation.

A large number of Silicon Phantom Legions appeared in the nearby star system, and all of them were in good standby, and on the offensive route of the main army of the Weaver Clan, the enemy deployed three lines of defense, and there were enough troops on each line, and there was a large fleet in the rear. Even in other directions, the enemy deployed large forces. Not to mention the Silicon Charm army commanded by Kuria, even the main army of the Weaver Clan may not be able to successfully capture the nearby star system. It's just that the Star Soul Empress didn't give up her plan to continue to march for this reason. Under her arrangement, the main army of the Weavers launched several tentative attacks, trying to find holes in the enemy's defenses.

After figuring out the enemy's troop deployment, the Star Soul Empress also received a message from the rear.

It's not just the Silicon Charm army under Commander Curia that is under siege, but even the Human Expeditionary Force is under attack, that is, the enemy has already begun to counterattack, or is about to launch a counterattack.

Then, an encounter broke out during a reconnaissance mission by the Female Samurai Guard, which made the Star Soul Empress realize that it was impossible to continue advancing. That is, the female warrior guards have encountered a powerful enemy, and if it were not for Otis's best efforts, I am afraid that the whole army would be annihilated.

Obviously, the one who can make Otis go all out, and who can eliminate dozens of female warriors in one battle, is definitely not a top war king.

Combined with Otis's report, the Star Soul Empress immediately concluded that it was the Phantom Ghost Emperor who attacked the female warrior guards.

If there were only some top-level battle kings standing in the way, the Star Soul Empress would not have any worries. You must know that even the most powerful top war king, namely Kutum, is not the opponent of the Star Soul Empress, and is not even qualified to fight the Star Soul Empress. But it's the Phantom Ghost Emperor who commands the Silicon Charm army, so that's another story. In the entire Silicon Charm Alliance, the only one who can match the Star Soul Empress is the Phantom Ghost Emperor.

Of course, this also explains why the Silicon Charm army is gathered here.

Prior to this, the main army of the Weaver Clan could be said to be advancing all the way, and even if it encountered resistance, it was not a stubborn resistance. Most of the time, the main army of the Weaver Clan can capture the target star system without blood, and the Silicon Charm army guarding the star system will take the initiative to retreat after a little resistance, and will definitely not rush to fight a decisive battle with the main army of the Weaver Clan. Otherwise, the main army of the Weaver Clan would not have marched so fast.

If there was no commander of the War Emperor, those top War Kings obviously did not have the courage to stop the main army of the Weaver Clan.

In the same way, after the Phantom Ghost Emperor appeared, the Star Soul Empress did not dare to underestimate the enemy, at least not as quickly as before.

In fact, by this time, the Star Soul Empress had sensed the threat.

Prior to this, the enemy retreated all the way, not to mention a counterattack, not even a decent resistance, in fact, it was not fear, nor was it cowardice, but to lure the enemy deeper, that is, by actively retreating, let the main army of the Weaver Clan go deep into the North Alpha Galaxy, lengthen the logistics supply line, increase the difficulty of logistics supply, and at the same time let Kuria, who assisted the main army of the Weaver Clan, have to use more troops to control the star system along the way, so that he cannot invest too many troops on the front line and cannot provide strong support for the main army of the Weaver Clan. As for the Human Expeditionary Force, it is also pinned down, that is, it needs to spend more troops to maintain logistics and ensure that the main army of the Weaver Clan is not affected.

In fact, this problem has already emerged.

After the capture of the Barak system, the main army of the Weavers has advanced thousands of light-years, which means that the logistical supply lines have been extended by thousands of light-years. Even if the Human Expeditionary Force had used enough transport ships, it would be only one-tenth as efficient at the start of the offensive to deliver war supplies to the front lines. In order to control the rear and consolidate the logistical supply lines, Kuria captured thousands of star systems along the way, deployed heavy troops in hundreds of star systems, established dozens of transit centers, and established considerable forts. As a result, more than half of the tens of thousands of Silicon Phantom legions commanded by Kuria were used to carry out the occupation mission, and only more than 10,000 legions could be used to assist the main Weaver Clan. Because it is responsible for the main base in the rear and also responsible for the delivery of supplies, the human expeditionary force cannot send troops to the front line at all.

To put it simply, the main army of the Weavers is at the end of its power after conquering the Barak system, and if it is not, it is almost there.

Obviously, if you continue to advance, just the logistical support problem will be enough to drag down the main army of the Weaver Clan.

Not to mention that the Star Soul Empress is not stupid, even if it is replaced by someone else, as long as she has a little brain, she can think that continuing to attack is tantamount to throwing herself into a net.

The problem is that it is no longer up to the Star Soul Empress to decide whether to fight or not.

After the female warrior guards were ambushed, the Silicon Charm army switched from defense to attack and began to take the initiative. Although the scale of the counterattack is not very large, mainly to test the opponent's virtual reality, perhaps in order to lure the opponent out and create an opportunity to inflict heavy damage on the opponent, but the enemy launched counterattacks in multiple directions at the same time, and all of them invested enough troops to repel the enemy's counterattack unless they abandoned the Barak system.

Obviously, the Star Soul Empress did not order a retreat.

For several months, the main army of the Weavers did not retreat, but they did not achieve a victory worth showing off.

The battle has been going on, either here or there. Although the enemy's casualties far exceeded those of the main army of the Weaver Clan, if you fight for attrition, the advantage will definitely be in the hands of the enemy. Don't forget, the Star Soul Empress only has three thousand legions in her hands, and it takes a lot of time to train a warrior. In comparison, the Silicon Warrior is simply cannon fodder. What's more, this is the home of the Silicon Alliance. After the return of the Phantom Ghost Emperor, it is not difficult to recruit Silicon Phantom warriors at all, and in order to defend their homeland, various groups have mobilized for war. From the point of view of material consumption, as long as the logistics supply is problematic, even if the combat effectiveness of the main army of the Weaver Clan is stronger, it will be difficult to maintain.

It can be said that if these fights continue, the main army of the Weaver Clan will be defeated sooner or later, and it will not be too long.

Don't forget, the purpose of the Star Soul Empress's attack is not to capture the entire Northern Alpha Galaxy, let alone completely eliminate the Silicon Ghost Alliance, but to force the Phantom Ghost Emperor out. That is, at the time of the attack, the main army of the Weaver Clan did not prepare for a long-term battle.

Now, the Phantom Ghost Emperor has come out, but the Star Soul Empress is facing a dilemma.

The point is that the Phantom Ghost Emperor did not rush to the front line to kill, but always hid in the rear, let alone duel with her, the Star Soul Empress didn't even know where she was.

Obviously, unless the Star Soul Empress decides to give up, the main army of the Star Weaver Clan will soon be overwhelmed by the brutal war of attrition.

Do you want to give up?

After months of brutal fighting, the Star Soul Empress had no choice. Every day, the warriors of the Weaver Clan are killed, and every day there are warships destroyed, but there is no news of the Phantom Ghost Emperor. Even if the Star Soul Empress really wanted to find the Phantom Ghost Emperor to duel, she knew that after the main army of the Star Weaver Clan was defeated, the result would be the same. To put it bluntly, if there is no strong legion, even if you find the Phantom Ghost Emperor, it will be useless.

Since the result is the same, why let the Weavers die in battle?

It's just that just when the Star Soul Empress decided to retreat, the situation changed. Lin Feng and Shen Chengwen arrived with two advance legions of the Human Expeditionary Force, and they were two legions composed entirely of soldiers. What's more, they brought news of the Phantom Ghost Emperor. (To be continued.) )
