Khotanese star field. Near the wormhole numbered WEQ-4707, there is a dead silence at the moment, and it is no longer the lively scene of the past!

Although this place is an important node on the main waterway, and the route of countless trade fleets must pass, but now that the war has started, as long as a businessman with a normal brain is in this situation, he will naturally hide as far as he can, so as not to be affected by the war and cause no return!

Just a day ago, the huge fleet from the southern frontier of the Shuofeng Empire advanced all the way to the border of the kingdom, and after a short exchange of fire with the border defenders, the border guards with only a few thousand ships were naturally no match for the elite legions of the empire, and they were all destroyed by the other side!

The news spread, and the Imperial fleet, which no longer concealed its tracks, began to use the main channel to advance rapidly, striving to reach the vicinity of the kingdom's capital star field within ten days!

The entrance of the black wormhole trembled slightly, and dozens of phantoms began to emerge, and then slowly solidified as time passed, and after a few seconds, they completely revealed their form.

It was a fleet of high-speed armed reconnaissance ships, with a distinctive Imperial military design in the hull!

After the reconnaissance fleet teleported, it did not stop, and immediately galloped towards the next wormhole!

After a while, another group of reconnaissance ships were teleported over, and they left in a hurry!

Such scout units are one team after another, as an important presence for the main fleet to detect the enemy's situation, and if necessary, they will also be used as the cheapest cannon fodder!

It's not without resistance, behind some wormholes, the Scout Fleet of the Starlight Kingdom is also cruising around, and once the two sides meet each other, it is a skirmish, and the battle often ends with the total destruction of one of them! Very few of the losers will survive!

On several main passages leading to the capital of the kingdom, near hundreds of wormholes, such firefights occur from time to time, and the losses on both sides are roughly equal, and it is impossible to talk about who takes advantage and who suffers!

This kind of low-cost small ship, both sides want as much as they want, and they will not feel sorry for this kind of loss at all! If you want to really decide the winner and loser, you have to look at the result of the duel between the main fleet!

On the flagship of the "Flying Tiger", Xue Chunfeng looked at the star map on the light screen and frowned!

It has been a day since entering the territory of the kingdom, and it is impossible to keep such a large-scale military operation secret, presumably the other party has already received the news! At this time, we are seizing the time to deploy troops and prepare for battle!

However, in just ten days, it is still a bit difficult to complete all the preparations! If you want to deal with your own elite fleet of two million empires, you must take out all the resources of the kingdom to have the capital to fight him!

Moreover, even if the other party can gather all the troops before he approaches the royal capital, the final victory can only belong to himself! That's for sure! If the main army of a superpower is used to deal with the fleet of a second-rate country, or if it has a large numerical advantage, it will only be a draw, then he will be disgraced and thrown to his grandmother's house!

Up to now, the fleet has passed through more than ten wormholes, and some discoveries along the way have made him have a higher evaluation of this newly born regime in his heart!

Not to mention anything else, just the unfinished interstellar fortresses at the mouth of the wormhole, as well as those large cities on the nearby ecological planets, super projects for various purposes, and large industrial bases! He had to be amazed at the economic strength of the kingdom!

Even on his own turf, he doesn't have the capital to burn money so lavishly! How much money does that young man have? Dare to squander it so recklessly?

Fortunately, I had the foresight to launch it in advance and exterminate this regime in the rising stage! Otherwise, if you delay it for a year and a half and then start again, in the face of the kingdom where the star defense system has been perfected, it will be extremely troublesome to win!

As for the doubts in my heart, after destroying this regime and taking over all his family funds, I will naturally be able to figure it out!

A regiment of up to 100,000 high-speed assault ships has already set out, and they are tasked with detecting the enemy situation and sweeping away the enemy's small forces to harass the fleet! Maintain a day's or so voyage with the main army in the rear, and in case of an emergency, they can send out an early warning message in time to remind the main army to deal with it as soon as possible!

Together with the logistics supply fleet, the huge fleet with a total size of millions passed through the wormhole in turn, quickly lined up in formation, and then sailed towards the next wormhole at high speed!

All types of high-power detection equipment are all turned on, and countless powerful detection beams cover almost all communication frequency bands, sound energy, light energy, magnetic energy, thermal energy, vacuum zero point energy, and the multi-dimensional space scanning and monitoring system, all kinds of equipment with different working principles and the same function have repeatedly filtered all the movements within a radius of 100,000 light seconds of the entire Imperial Legion many times! As long as there is any wind and grass, it cannot escape the close monitoring of multiple warning networks!

However, in the space fault not far from this huge army, a silver-gray flying saucer with a diameter of more than 100 meters was speeding silently. Scanning devices that can probe multidimensional spaces have also lost their due role in front of it!

The flying saucer silently followed the Imperial Legion, sending out several cryptic messages from time to time, which were delivered to the Kingdom fleet in the unknown way by unknown means! ――

"According to the report of the 'Sky Peep' Group 3, they should have entered the East Cambodia Star Domain!"

In the flagship main control room, Feng Lanxi marked the corresponding position on the star map, and then said to Gurungs:

"Their vanguard has already arrived in the Yanlong Star Domain, and it is still half way from the capital, and there are still forty-five hours before entering the first ambush site we have scheduled!"

"I think it's better to eat these 100,000 warships first and give them a dismount! It also takes some pressure off the next big battle! I wonder what you think? Guo Qiuxian proposed on the side.

Yun Haoyu said: "Of course, it's no problem to eat this fleet, but in this way, there will inevitably be a suspicion of startling the snake!" Xue Chunfeng, who has always been a little contemptuous of us, may become cautious, and maybe even retreat! ”

Gurlons smiled: "Your Majesty is too worried! Xue Chunfeng's skills are good, he has a deep heart and a tough temperament, and he will never give up easily because of a small setback! This advantage has added a lot of points to him in his previous career! However, at some critical moments, it is easy for him to fall into the calculations of his opponent and make it difficult for him to withdraw in time! ”

"And as the first expedition after splitting the soil and standing on his own, he suffered some losses and had the intention of retreating, and returned in vain, which was too great a blow to his prestige! Unless we show an overwhelming advantage at the beginning, it's impossible to get him to stop early! ”

"So I agree with General Guo's proposal to eat this forward fleet first and give him a wake-up call! Then decide the next course of action based on the reaction of the other party! ”

Yun Haoyu nodded convincingly: "Okay! It's up to you to decide, and if necessary, I'll lead the team myself! Let that Xue Chunfeng understand that the kingdom's military strength is not as fragile as he imagined! ”

Feng Lanxi looked at the star map and smiled lightly:

"Judging from the current situation, after a few years, his conducting style is still the same! With your abilities, Marshal, it will not be difficult to defeat him! I'm afraid that he still has some unknown means! It will be more troublesome to deal with when the time comes! ”

"At the end of the day, we have the cards! It's not necessarily much worse than him! Su Shangqing said confidently.

"If possible, I still hope I don't need those things!" Gurlons sighed:

"Since it's a hole card, you have to use it at the most appropriate time, I hope our current arrangement can completely suppress him!" ――

The main army of the empire advanced all the way, but the first to engage the kingdom fleet was not the forward army, but the partial division led by Zhu Yin!

300,000 high-speed warships, through another hidden channel, after a few days of rapid marching, have approached the vicinity of the Wangdu Star Domain, only separated by five wormholes, less than two star fields!

However, what the young lieutenant general did not expect was that the star defense system around the royal capital had been completed and put into use ahead of schedule because of the attention of the high-level!

"General, none of the scout fleets we sent out earlier have returned so far!" The adjutant reported with some nervousness.

"Could it be that they still have a large fleet hiding around here? It doesn't seem to be explained in the previous information! Zhu Yin asked with some confusion.

"At the moment, they have not been found to have a fleet of more than a thousand ships, but they are ......"

"Just what? Don't spit it out! Zhu Yin said with some displeasure.

"See for yourself!" The adjutant called up several three-dimensional images from the light brain.

Above is the silhouette of a huge fixed interstellar fortress, the picture is very blurry, and there is obviously an extremely clever means of space shielding and interference nearby!

This was sent back by a group of reconnaissance ships by chance before it was destroyed, showing the sight of the next wormhole mouth!

Zhu Yin only glanced at it, and he understood that his sneak attack plan was already difficult to achieve!

The three large military fortresses are all built according to the most advanced technical standards, and there are not many military facilities of this specification even within the territory of the empire! And at the mouth of this wormhole, there were as many as three at once, in the shape of "Pin", which was stubbornly guarding the throat leading to the royal capital!

He didn't give up, and tried to send a part of his troops to charge once, but as a result, a salvo of hundreds of fortress main guns blasted more than 10,000 warships that had been teleported over into ashes! It shows that they are not beautiful ornaments, but real killers!

"Retreat immediately, let's go another way!" He immediately decided.

So, the high-speed fleet retreated and chose another channel a little farther to pass through, but when approaching the royal capital star field, it once again encountered a covering attack from multiple interstellar fortresses!

After a few times, he finally discovered that the star defense system near the royal capital was no longer something he could easily break through now!

If I had known this, I should have brought a few mobile interstellar fortresses! Zhu Yin smiled bitterly in his heart.

In order to achieve the effect of a quick sneak attack in advance, his fleet is a high-speed warship with a modified propulsion system, and it is naturally impossible to carry that kind of bulky and large-scale attacking weapon, so as not to affect the speed of the march, resulting in the embarrassing situation of facing the opponent's multiple firepower blockade now, but there is nothing to do!
