Chapter 875: Covert Operation
In fact, not everyone thinks that Yang Yi should leave the Mohen system, at least bring enough troops. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć The most opposed thing is Shen Chengwen, and he is not against going behind enemy lines to cause sabotage, but Yang Yi should not leave him, that is, he should have a place in the elite army. According to Shen Chengwen's meaning, his strength must be fine, because those people and soldiers in the elite troops are all his subordinates, and none of them are better than him. As for leading the reconnaissance team to guard the periphery of the Moheng system, it is enough to have Jackson there, and it is the same with or without him. Yuyang, the commander and the commander of the human expeditionary force, is here, so it doesn't have much to do with him.
Anyway, Shen Chengwen didn't want to stay.
It's a pity that Shen Chengwen is Yang Yi's subordinate, so after Yang Yi gives the order, no matter what Shen Chengwen thinks, he can only obey.
In fact, Yang Yi would not bring Shen Chengwen at all.
It's not that Shen Chengwen's strength is not enough, it's not that Shen Chengwen is unreliable, it's that Yang Yi is not sure about the outcome of this trip, and he doesn't even know if he can come back alive. If it was up to Yang Yi to decide, he would even let Lin Feng stay, but in this matter, Yang Yi had no right to decide, because it was impossible for him to give Lin Feng an order like he did to Shen Chengwen, and it was impossible for Lin Feng to stay obediently. In fact, Yang Yi didn't even think about bringing so many human warriors. According to his idea, a few dozen soldiers were enough. Because there were too many officers and soldiers in the expeditionary force who had reached the level of Renkui warriors, and they all wanted to follow Yang Yi, even if they chose one out of ten, they could choose thousands. In the end, in order to stabilize the mood of the officers and soldiers, Yang Yi could only make a choice by drawing lots. Even if the probability of winning the lottery was only one percent, hundreds of officers and soldiers were selected in the end, that is, those elite soldiers of the elite troops.
Fortunately, it only takes one fast battleship to carry a few hundred warriors.
Yang Yi's first stop was a very remote and devastating star system about 400 light-years away from the Moheng Galaxy.
Not so long ago, this star system was under the control of the Dragon Empress. After the Phantom Emperor attacked, the system was quickly overrun by the enemy. Because it was too far away, of little value, and tight in all directions, the Human Expeditionary Force and the Weaver Legion did not send reinforcements to the system. However, the Silicon Legion guarding the star system did not surrender to the enemy, but fought until the last moment. The point is that the Phantom Ghost Emperor doesn't attach much importance to this star system, not only did he not come here to subdue the Silicon Phantom Legion who was loyal to the Dragon Empress, but he didn't even send a top war king over, and it was only a war king who led the army to attack the star system.
Obviously, the Warlord does not have the ability to make the Silicon Charm Legion, which is also led by the Warlord, disarm and surrender.
After months of fierce fighting, the Silicon Legion guarding the star system was wiped out, and not a single Silicon Warrior, including the Warlord, survived. Of course, the enemy also paid a terrible price and did not gain the slightest benefit from the victory.
The point is, this galaxy is just too small.
In a moment of desperation, the Silicon Phantom Legion guarding the star system released an Earth Dragon Seed, and held out until the Earth Dragon matured. As a result, by the time the last of the Silicon Phantom Warriors were killed, the planet they were guarding and the only solid planet in the system had been overrun by Earth Dragons. Because the star system has lost its value, the attacking enemy withdraws after the battle is over.
All that's left is a devastated planet and a lonely star.
The planet is not destroyed, but the earth dragon that invaded the planet is still alive, only to go into a dormant state because the resources on the planet have been depleted. This state of affairs will last for a long time, maybe tens of thousands of years, maybe hundreds of thousands of years, or even millions of years. As long as it is not affected by external factors, that is, the planet can still exist stably, the earth dragon that invades the planet will not wake up and will remain dormant. It is not until one day that the planet becomes unstable due to external factors, such as a meteorite or comet impact, that the Earth Dragon wakes up from its dormancy and sows seeds to the outside world. If a planet explodes, the Earth Dragon's seed will also attach to the planet's fragments and fly out of the star system. To put it simply, the earth dragon has entered the late stages of its life, and its only remaining mission is to wait for the time to sow seeds.
In fact, such planets are not uncommon in the Northern Alpha system.
Millions of years ago, that is, before the birth of the Silicon Charm Alliance, many planets in the North Alpha Galaxy were like this, that is, they were invaded by the Earth Dragon, and even transformed into a beast den by the Earth Dragon, becoming the home of wild silicon beasts, and then completely destroyed because of the exhaustion of resources or the loss of a large amount of mass. It is also through this method that the Earth Dragon has become the most abundant and widely distributed silicon beast in the North Alpha Galaxy.
Of course, Yang Yi and the others didn't come here to destroy the Earth Dragon, nor did they gain a foothold here, but they just passed by.
Subsequently, Yang Yi and the others went to several nearby star systems according to the planned route, but they only stayed for a short time and then left.
These star systems, without exception, were devastated in the flames of war.
Along the way, Yang Yi and Lin Feng, as well as the accompanying officers and soldiers, witnessed the cruelty of the war.
In a way, the civil war between the Dragon Empress and the Phantom Ghost Emperor has done far more damage to the Northern Alpha System than the Human Expeditionary Force and the Weaver Legion. The point is, neither the Human Expeditionary Force nor the Weaver Legion would deliberately destroy a star system, and neither would their opponents. What's more, in the battle against the Human Expeditionary Force and the Weaver Legion, both sides of the war have a clear purpose, and they will make adjustments according to the situation on the battlefield. To put it simply, both sides will only commit enough troops when they can achieve their goals. If the goal cannot be achieved, or if the goal set before is no longer meaningful, more rational actions will be taken, including active retreat. It can be said that only in some extreme cases will the fight be insisted on to the last man. Obviously, such an extreme situation did not arise, at least in the previous battles, and both the Human Expeditionary Force and the Weaver Legion had other options.
Obviously, in civil wars, such extremes often arise.
In fact, this is also related to the culture of the Silicon Alliance, or the way the Silicon Alliance is governed. For those who defected to the Dragon Empress, there was little difference between defeat and surrender, at least until they thought of it as the Phantom Ghost Emperor. The same is true for those who are loyal to the Phantom Emperor. As a result, it was possible to force the other side to surrender only if the Emperor of War personally appeared on the battlefield. If the commanders of both sides are war kings or top war kings, then it is normal to fight to the death. What's more, absolute loyalty to the Emperor of War will make the soon-to-be-defeated King of War make a last-minute choice to die with the enemy, or at least not to get the slightest benefit. Releasing Earth Dragon Seeds is just one way to do it, and in some cases it will destroy planets, or even entire star systems.
In fact, in the past few million years, the Silicon Alliance has had several civil wars, with at least one-third of the North Alpha system's star systems at war, and many more systems that have been severely damaged and no longer fit for the Silicons.
It can be said that as long as the civil war between the Dragon God Empress and the Phantom Ghost Emperor continues, the Northern Alpha Galaxy will suffer a catastrophe.
This civil war must be ended as soon as possible, and the Phantom Ghost Emperor must be killed as soon as possible.
It's just that everything has to go according to plan, and you can't go fast.
Yang Yi and the others made a big circle around the Moheng Galaxy, and they did not rush to the hinterland of the Northern Alpha Galaxy, just to confuse the enemy.
To put it simply, it is to make the enemy think that they are a reconnaissance detachment responsible for patrolling the outer perimeter of the Moheng system. Because the patrol area is too large, a hundred light-years away from Mo Hengxing, a battleship is needed. Also because it is too far away from the Moheng Galaxy, the patrol intensity is not very large.
As long as the enemy made such a judgment, he would not stare at the fast battleship that Yang Yi was on.
Of course, there is no way around it.
Yang Yi and the others were only riding an ordinary fast battleship, not an advanced Shadow Ship. Prior to this, that is, when the Star Soul Empress returned to the North Fourth District, after being attacked by the Wanluo War Emperor, she transferred the ten Shadow Ships back. If it weren't for Yang Yi to kill the Wanluo War Emperor in time and stabilize the situation in the Galactic Alliance, the Star Soul Empress would even have transferred all the three thousand Star Weaver Clan legions back.
Relying on an ordinary fast warship to penetrate deep into the Northern Alpha system is obviously not an easy task.
To put it bluntly, this battleship is easy to be discovered by the enemy, as long as it is targeted by the enemy, let alone hiding its whereabouts, it is difficult to even get rid of the enemy's tracking.
It was precisely because of this that Yang Yi had to take the elite troops to go around in circles around the Mo Heng galaxy.
In fact, this is also the main reason why Yang Yi let Shen Chengwen stay.
According to Yang Yi's arrangement, while they were wandering around the periphery, Shen Chengwen would lead the reconnaissance team to deploy a defensive line of defense mainly for prevention and surveillance in the area two hundred light-years away from the Moheng Galaxy. As long as the reconnaissance detachment's actions are fully launched, even if the enemy discovers the battleship where Yang Yi and the others are, they will regard this battleship as a patrol ship on a reconnaissance mission, and when this battleship suddenly disappears, the enemy will take it for granted that it has returned to the Moheng system, and will not think that this battleship is on its way to the hinterland of the North Alpha Galaxy. As long as you can successfully break through the enemy's defense line near the Moheng system, then the probability of being discovered by the enemy is very small. Quite simply, no matter how many troops the Phantom Ghost Emperor has, he can't deploy enough legions in all the star systems of the Northern Alpha System. Because the Human Expeditionary Force and the Weaver Legion retreated to the vicinity of the Moheng Galaxy, and due to logistical constraints, it was impossible to advance the battle line hundreds of light-years at once, so there was no need to leave too many legions behind the battle line, let alone defend all star systems.
It is precisely in this way that Yang Yi needs to be patient. (To be continued.) )
