After returning to the fleet, Yang Yi immediately made arrangements for Shen Chengwen to send a group of officers and soldiers of the special reconnaissance team to achieve a fast spaceship sent by the Yu family to return as quickly as possible. For the sake of insurance, Yang Yi personally told the officer who led the team to make sure that the goods were handed over to Yu Linglong. Subsequently, Yang Yi also contacted Yuyang, who stayed behind, and asked Yuyang to arrange personnel to respond, and let Yu Linglong prepare for work.

Subsequently, Yang Yi received a message from Yu Linglong.

As long as the materials are complete, the Yu family's factory will produce at full speed, ensuring that the things Yang Yi needs will be delivered before the expeditionary force reaches the Northern Alpha system.

Next, it can be said that it is smooth sailing.

Although many small celestial bodies along the route have been invaded by silicon beasts, and it can even be said that none of them have been spared, but the few large celestial bodies discovered by Yang Yi and them have not been invaded, and the distance between these large celestial bodies is less than a thousand light years, which can just serve as a space jump node on the route. Most importantly, these discoveries prove that there are not many high-level silicons that have entered the Greenwich meteorite belt and nested there, perhaps only the twelve-level silicon. In the Greenwich Meteorite Belt, it is mainly common silicon. Although many small celestial bodies were encroached upon, the impact on the shipping routes was not very large, and the threat to the expeditionary force was minimal.

Of course, Yang Yi did not underestimate the enemy because of this.

At every spatial node along the way, Yang Yi asked Shen Chengwen to deploy a squadron of a hundred soldiers. Nominally, it was to stay behind to assist the engineering troops who arrived later to carry out the construction of the project, but in fact it was to sweep the nearby area and ensure the safety of the space node.

According to Yang Yi's plan, before the expeditionary force reaches the North Alpha system, a legion's alert force will be deployed at each space node. If needed, some space nodes will also be turned into space fortresses. It's obvious. In Yang Yi's view, the safety of the route comes first.

It's just that it requires enough troops, and it takes a lot of time.

Fortunately, Yang Yi has enough troops and plenty of time.

Three months later. The expeditionary force crossed the center line of the Greenwich Meteorite Belt and entered the northern part of the Greenwich Meteorite Belt, which was the ceasefire line stipulated in the armistice treaty signed by the two sides after the Fifth Greenwich War. That is to say, from this moment on, the expeditionary force entered the territory of the Silicon Charm Alliance.

By this point, the expeditionary force had advanced 5,000 light-years in the Greenwich meteorite belt, with a range of more than 8,000 light-years.

Due to the constraints, the expeditionary force only established more than twenty space nodes along the way, and only a few were established near large celestial bodies. Because the engineering staff is limited. In addition, the engineering equipment and materials transported by the Yu family were insufficient, so the construction of the rear stronghold lagged far behind the advance speed of the expeditionary force. Regardless of whether Yang Yi wants to or not, when the rear is not stable enough and the logistics supplies are not in place, the expeditionary force has to stop its progress here. It's just that, according to Yang Yi's plan, even if there are no such troubles, the expeditionary force will stay here for a while. The point is. The expeditionary force commanded by Yang Yi had already completed its first mission by the time it arrived here.

A few days later, the vanguard of the Weavers arrived.

Because the route to the rear is unimpeded. So the Weaver Legion is moving fast.

Following the arrival of the vanguard of the Weaver Clan, there was also a transport fleet sent by the Jade Family, and it was a fleet dedicated to transporting supplies for the expeditionary force.

According to the plan, after the vanguard of the Weaver Clan arrived, the expeditionary force was to continue its advance.

It's just that Yang Yi adjusted his plan. Decided to stay here for a while. The main thing is that no one knows what is going on in front of you, and no one knows if there is an enemy in front of you.

Before the vanguard of the Weaver Clan arrived, Yang Yi sent the special reconnaissance team out, but he didn't receive any news.

Although, as far as Barnes said. The Silicon Charm Alliance did not establish a defense line in the Greenwich meteorite belt like the Human Federation, but only set up some strongholds similar to outposts and were very scattered, but Yang Yi was always skeptical of the information provided by the Hidden Spirit Clan. Besides, that was before the outbreak of war. After the outbreak of the war, especially after the Silicon Alliance voluntarily withdrew to the Northern Alpha system, it will definitely set up a defensive line in the Greenwich meteorite belt, at least strengthen the defense, and will never be as negligent as before the outbreak of the war.

Regarding Yang Yi's decision, the commander of the vanguard team of the Weaver Star Clan had no objection and had no right to object.

The Star Soul Empress had already appointed Yang Yi as the chief staff officer and royal advisor of the Star Weaving Clan, and also gave Yang Yi the privilege of making an arbitrary decision, and Yang Yi served as the commander-in-chief of the front line for this expedition, with full responsibility for front-line combat operations. In the case of unclear enemy situation, Yang Yi naturally has the right to adjust the battle plan.

It's just that Yang Yi didn't delay too long.

A few days later, the officers and men of the special reconnaissance brigade who had gone out to reconnoiter returned one after another. At the same time, Barnes also received the latest information from the rear.

The Silicon Alliance has not strengthened the defense deployment of the Greenwich Meteorite Belt!

When Barnes sent the information, Yang Yi still didn't believe it. It's just that the officers and men of the special reconnaissance team who went out to reconnoiter proved the information provided by Barnes. At least a thousand light-years ahead, no enemy lines were found, and even scattered strongholds were few and most of them had been abandoned. Although there were many areas that were not searched, no enemy was found in the areas searched by the officers and men of the special reconnaissance brigade.

Obviously, Yang Yi was very confused, and so were the others.

You must know that before the Silicon Charm army retreated, the Weavers had already sent troops to fight. Not to mention a top war king like Dibabu, even a general with a small brain can think that in order to grasp the initiative in the war and lead this war, the Weaver Clan will definitely actively launch a counterattack and pull the Human Federation. Even if the Silicon Alliance does not suffer heavy losses, it still has enough military strength, and it should strengthen the defense deployment of the Greenwich Meteorite Belt after retreating, and it is impossible not to defend it, unless there is serious civil unrest in the Silicon Alliance. It's not impossible, because after Kutum is finished, other top warlords will definitely rush to seize his territory and fill the power vacuum created by his death. It's just that in Yang Yi's opinion, this possibility is not big. At present, if Dibabu's top war kings are still self-oriented, thus posing a mortal threat to the Silicon Charm Alliance, then the legendary war emperor will definitely not stand idly by. As long as the War Emperor comes forward to preside over the overall situation, all the top War Kings will have to stand aside, and the Silicon Charm Alliance will also be united.

Could it be that the legendary Emperor of War did not come forward to preside over the overall situation?

Doubts are doubts, after the preparations have been put in place, Yang Yi did not delay any longer. With the return of the last group of officers and soldiers of the special reconnaissance team who went out to reconnoitre, Yang Yi gave the order to set off.

This time, it was still the special investigation team that opened the way in front, and Barnes asked for help again, and Yang Yi also agreed again.

A few days later, the fleet arrived at "Point A", the first forward outpost built by the Silicon Phantom Alliance discovered by the officers and men of the Special Reconnaissance Team.

In fact, it is a medium-sized celestial body, about 100 kilometers in diameter.

Like those objects that have been attacked by the Silicon Beast, the interior of this body has been hollowed out. The difference is that the interior of the celestial body is honeycomb, divided into thousands of regions of various sizes. Although the officers and soldiers of the special investigation team had already reported the situation and taken video footage of the interior of the celestial body, Yang Yi still personally investigated. Just as the Special Reconnaissance Team hung up and reported, the Silicon Phantom Warriors stationed there retreated in a hurry, and the various areas inside the celestial body were very messy, and there were still many things that were not taken with them, including some heavy weapons that had been completely destroyed. In addition, there are several corpses of Silicon Warriors in several areas. It's just that these silicon warriors all died of natural causes. The enemy did evacuate the outpost on their own initiative, because all the valuable and incapable things in the outpost were gone. Judging from the corpses of the Silicon Phantom warriors, the enemy left here not long ago, that is, around the time of the withdrawal of the Silicon Phantom army from the North Fourth District. Because before the outbreak of the war, Kutum guarded the Greenwich Meteorite Belt, so the silicon warriors stationed here were all Kutum's men. It was clear that it must have been after the news of Kutum's death came back that the Silicon Phantom warriors there withdrew.

In addition, it is a frontier outpost that has been around for a long time and was once highly valued.

Among other things, there are a lot of heavy weapons in the outpost, and they are mainly defensive weapons. In addition, there are many areas in the outpost for the Silicon Warriors to live in. It is conservatively estimated that these areas can accommodate a million Silicon Phantom warriors in total, that is, hundreds of Silicon Phantom legions can be stationed here. With the technology of the Silicon Phantom Alliance, as long as necessary, this outpost can even be transformed into a super warship, sending hundreds of Silicon Phantom legions to the battlefield. If you're fighting defensively, you can transform the post into a medium-sized space fortress. That is, this outpost has a high military value. Without a special reason, there is no reason for the Silicon Alliance to abandon this outpost.

Kutum's death is obviously not a special reason.

Of course, Yang Yi did not personally probe the enemy's outpost.

When he came to the center of the outpost, Yang Yi stopped and gave Shen Chengwen a look.

Shen Cheng didn't ask much when he heard this, and immediately propped up the energy barrier, wrapping the entire area, cutting off the connection between the area and the outside world.

At the same time, Lin Feng activated the communication equipment he brought.

Not long after, the three-dimensional projection of Yuyang appeared in front of everyone.

"Yuyang, just the three of us now, let's talk."

"I also just received the message, and I'll send it to you now."

Yang Yi nodded slightly and didn't ask any more.

Soon, another three-dimensional projection of a person appeared in front of everyone, a little blurry, but it was clear that that person was Jackson.

This is not a real-time communication, but a video recording.

It was after receiving the message from Yuyang that Yang Yi offered to personally investigate the inside of the outpost, thus avoiding Barnes.

Jackson's activities in the North Alpha system are top secret, not to mention Barnes, even the Star Soul Empress does not know. (To be continued.) )
