Chapter 771: The Situation on the Front
The Heavenly Saint Emperor's "confession" surprised Yang Yi very much, and while remaining skeptical, Yang Yi also realized that the Heavenly Saint Emperor had missed several opportunities and could no longer miss this last opportunity. To put it bluntly, the general trend is no longer something that the Heavenly Saint Emperor and the Hidden Spirit Clan can control. After the Wanluo War Emperor is finished, the new emperor of the Lei Ling clan will definitely form an alliance with Yang Yi, plus the Weaver Clan led by the Star Soul Empress, the two top civilizations are enough to influence the situation of the Galactic Alliance, even if the Hidden Spirit Clan opposes it, it will not have much effect. With no other choice, the Heavenly Saint Emperor could only form an alliance with Yang Yi to ensure the core interests of the Hidden Spirit Clan in the Galactic Alliance.
Of course, Yang Yi did not reject people thousands of miles away.
Although there have been conflicts and even conflicts with the Hidden Spirit Clan, those are things of the past, and what Yang Yi needs now is a stable and united Galactic Alliance that can destroy the Silicon Charm Alliance in the next war and capture the entire North Alpha Galaxy. As long as the Heavenly Saint Emperor is willing to make concessions, recognize Yang Yi's strength, and accept the fait accompli, then it is not impossible to reconcile with the Hidden Spirit Clan.
Seeing off the Heavenly Saint Emperor, Yang Yi relaxed.
In the next few days, many representatives of civilization came to visit the Star Soul Empress. Although the news of Yang Yi's victory over Wanluo Zhanhuang had already spread, not many people believed it. In the eyes of most people, it was the Star Soul Empress who defeated the Wanluo War Emperor, and she was by no means a small human warrior. Because she has formed an alliance with the Human Federation, and she still needs the support of the Human Federation to expedition to the Northern Alpha Galaxy, so the Star Soul Empress gave Yang Yi the credit for defeating the Wanluo War Emperor, so as to improve Yang Yi's status and enhance the influence of the Human Federation in the Galactic Alliance. Besides, the Star Soul Empress was originally an emperor-level powerhouse, and even if she claimed that she had defeated the Wanluo War Emperor, she would not be able to improve her status in the Galactic Alliance. Giving this glamorous-looking title to Yang Yi can also reflect the magnanimity of the Star Soul Empress, making more civilizations believe that she is an ally worthy of cooperation, thereby enhancing her image as a leader.
As a result, representatives of most civilizations ignored Yang Yi's existence when they visited the Star Soul Empress.
Fortunately, this is also the result that Yang Yi wants. In any case, he is just a human soldier, and the Human Federation is not powerful at all. Although it has recaptured its home system from the Thundering Legion and recovered other colonized systems, the Human Federation has suffered a great loss of vitality after suffering this catastrophe. If nothing else, simply reorganizing the federal authorities and the military department is a big problem. If Yang Yi comes out strong at this time, it will definitely bring a lot of trouble, and it will even have a bad impact on the internal situation of the Human Federation. At this time, more is better than less. Since no one takes Yang Yi seriously, Yang Yi is happy and relaxed.
Five days later, Prince Corgon's coronation took place at the Thundering Palace.
Because of the limited space in the palace, only representatives of the top and advanced civilizations were invited, while representatives of other civilizations could only be seated in the plaza outside the palace. The Human Federation is not a high-level civilization, although Prince Korgen gave Yang Yi the status of a special guest, but Yang Yi did not accept it, and Yang Yi is not a representative of the Human Federation, he just followed the Star Soul Empress to Lingxiao Star to congratulate Prince on his ascension to the throne.
While everyone's eyes were on the palace, Yang Yi was at the Human Federation Embassy to discuss things with Yu Linglong and Shen Chengwen, who had arrived a few days ago.
If it weren't for Shen Chengwen's return from the Northern Alpha Galaxy and the extremely important news he had brought with him, Yu Linglong would not have made a special trip to Lingxiao Star to find Yang Yi.
That is, the situation in the North Alpha system has changed subtly.
According to Shen Chengwen, after Yang Yi and the Star Soul Empress left, the battle situation was originally very calm, and the Phantom Ghost Emperor fulfilled the promise he made before and did not provoke incidents, although there were occasional conflicts, and they were only actions taken by some war kings or generals in private, not at the behest of the Phantom Ghost Emperor, but not long ago, to be precise, after the Wanluo War Emperor was finished, such small-scale conflicts intensified, and several of them even turned into wars. In order to stabilize the situation, the main army of the Weaver Clan took the initiative to advance and expand the depth of defense, and the human expeditionary force also took action to launch counterattacks in several main directions, temporarily curbing the enemy's arrogance. However, these actions and deployments have not stabilized the situation, and conflicts continue to occur, and there are many bad signs.
"Although there is no evidence that these conflicts are related to the Phantom Ghost Emperor for the time being, we have reason to believe that without the Phantom Ghost Emperor's instructions, at least by default, those War Kings and War Generals would never dare to mess around. It's not just me who thinks so, Yuyang thinks so too. If these recent conflicts are related to the Phantom Emperor, then there is reason to believe that the Phantom Emperor is planning a large-scale attack and will carry it out in the near future. These previous skirmishes were actually testing our defensive line, looking for loopholes in the defensive line, or forcing us to adjust our defensive deployment, disperse our limited forces, and expose the flaws in the defensive line. ”
Yang Yi nodded slightly, but didn't say anything.
"Of course, we have adjusted our defensive deployment in a targeted manner, not only the Human Expeditionary Force, but also the main army of the Weaver Clan. Since four legions already have full combat power, and the main legions of the Weavers have all been left, we are able to deal with a normal level of attack. The problem now is that if it is the Phantom Ghost Emperor who is in command of the Silicon Phantom army, our current defense deployment cannot guarantee that the defense line will be held. ”
"No more information?" Yang Yi asked.
Shen Chengwen sighed and said, "We tried to get more information, but nothing came of it. The only thing that is certain now is that the Phantom Ghost Emperor has left the central region of the Northern Alpha System. It's just that where she went, we don't know, and neither does the Dragon God Empress. As for the few top Warlords under her command, we can only determine the exact location of two of them, and the others are missing. What's more, it is very likely that the Phantom Ghost Emperor has canonized a new top-level war king, and not just one, maybe several. The only thing we can be sure of is the deployment of the Silicon Charm Army, and judging from the intelligence obtained from the reconnaissance of the front line, the Silicon Charm Army deployed near the battle line has more than doubled compared to before, and it is increasing every day. In fact, it is precisely because of this that we conclude that the Phantom Ghost Emperor will launch a full-scale attack in the near future. ”
Yang Yi let out a long breath and looked at Yu Linglong.
"I have adjusted production and will deliver war materiel to the front as quickly as possible. We can also use strategic reserves if needed, just ......"
"Actually, I expected this situation for a long time."
Yang Yi suddenly burst out, and Yu Linglong closed her mouth.
"We have known for a long time that the Wanluo War Emperor and the Phantom Ghost Emperor are in cahoots. If it weren't for the trap set by the Phantom Ghost Emperor, the Star Soul Empress and I would not have been in a hurry to return to the North Fourth District, and we would not have been ambushed by the Wanluo War Emperor in the Greenwich Meteorite Belt. Looking at it the other way around, the Phantom Ghost Emperor must have pinned her hopes on the Wanluo War Emperor, thinking that as long as the Wanluo War Emperor kills us, she will be able to attack the Dragon God Empress and kill the biggest threat, thus unifying the entire Silicon Charm Alliance. It is precisely because of this that the Phantom Ghost Emperor agreed to a truce with us, but unfortunately, the Wanluo War Emperor not only did not kill us, but also lost his life. After learning that the Wanluo War Emperor was finished, the Phantom Ghost Emperor had no way out. She could have imagined that once we had secured the Galactic Alliance, we would make another expedition to the North Alpha System. When the time comes, because there are no worries, we will definitely go all out. With the strength of the Phantom Ghost Emperor alone, it is obviously impossible to fight against the entire Galactic Alliance. ”
"Therefore, she can only launch an attack first, catch us by surprise, and before we can react, drive the human expeditionary force and the main army of the Weaver Clan out of the Northern Alpha system, kill the Dragon Empress, recover all the lost territory, and then rely on the Greenwich meteorite belt to establish a line of defense. Even if we can't force us to give up on the attack, we can buy a lot of time and there is a silver lining. ”
"Why now?"
Shen Chengwen was slightly stunned, and looked at Yang Yi incomprehensibly.
"Also, what's the point?" Yang Yi paused for a moment before he said, "It is undeniable that if the Phantom Ghost Emperor can regain the lost territory before we organize an expedition as you said, kill the Dragon God Empress, and unify the entire Silicon Charm Alliance, we will indeed be able to establish a line of defense relying on the Greenwich Meteorite Belt." The question is, does she have enough troops to defend this line of defense that is tens of thousands of light-years long? The answer is obviously no, even if the Silicon Phantom Alliance is unified, the Phantom Ghost Emperor will not be able to assemble enough Silicon Phantom Legion in time to defend the defense line. In addition, she is the only Emperor of the Silicon Charm Alliance, and none of the top Warlords under her command are our opponents. From a purely military point of view, rather than wasting valuable forces on the forward line of defense, it is better to rely on the vast depth of the North Alpha system to fight the invasion. To put it bluntly, if the Phantom Ghost Emperor wants to win, even if it is just to force us to abandon the operation of invading the Northern Alpha Galaxy, the only way is to cultivate more War Emperors, not to form more Silicon Phantom Legions, let alone a line of defense that cannot be defended at all. She needs time, and relying on the entire Northern Alpha system, she can only buy enough time by using the tactics of strong walls and clear fields. ”
"You mean ......"
"Obviously, the Phantom Ghost Emperor's purpose is not to rely on the Greenwich Meteorite Belt to create a line of defense."
"So, what is her purpose?"
Yang Yi rubbed his forehead and said, "According to your point of view, what should we do now?" ”
Shen Cheng was stunned for a moment and said, "There is no doubt that instead of waiting to be beaten, it is better to take the initiative and grasp the initiative in the war." ”
"That is, to take the initiative to attack?"
Shen Chengwen nodded, indicating that this was what he meant.
"Obviously, that's what the Phantom Ghost Emperor is for." (To be continued.) )
