With Yuyang opening the way in front, and the "Divine Mother" acting as bait, Yang Yi and the others did not encounter any trouble in the next few days. It's just that what he saw and heard along the way, that is, the construction work of various military bases made it difficult for Yang Yi, and the progress of the project was too slow. Obviously, Yuyang's estimate is too optimistic, let alone five to ten years, even if it takes another ten years, it will not be able to complete the construction of all the strongholds.

It's just that there is no way around it.

Even if Yang Yi wants to speed up construction, there is nothing he can do in the case of insufficient manpower, shortage of equipment and difficulty in delivering materials.

To put it bluntly, the problems encountered in engineering construction cannot be solved by ability at all.

The point is, there is space in the Greenwich meteorite belt. On this route, the average distance between large objects is more than 100 light-years. Although most cargo ships have space jumps of more than 100 light-years, some small celestial bodies have to be modified to be safe. What's more, these objects exist in isolation, and there are no other objects nearby at all, so there are no resources. As a result, all the materials and equipment for the construction of military bases had to be transported from the rear, and transportation alone was a huge problem. To put it simply, building a small planetary fortress in the Greenwich Meteorite Belt would cost hundreds of times as much resources as building a fortress of the same level in the North Fourth Sector. If it was just a military stronghold, the strength of the Yu family would not be a problem. It's just that Yang Yi wants to build hundreds of military bases in the Greenwich meteorite belt, of which more than 100 are planetary-level military bases, and the others are small-planet-level military bases. Not to mention the Jade Family, even if the Human Federation goes all out, it will be difficult to complete it in a few years.

Now it's a time of war, and the problem is even more acute.

Along the way, Yang Yi carefully inspected all the military strongholds, had a clear understanding of the situation, and also knew that Yuyang was too optimistic.

Obviously, what they need is not ten, but decades, or even hundreds of years.

So, what's next?

You know, not to mention decades, even if it's a few years, you may not be able to get it. The point is that as long as Yang Yi's true intentions are exposed, not only the Wanluo War Emperor, but even the Star Soul Empress will turn against him. It can be said that those in power in the Galactic Alliance will definitely not let the Human Federation embark on the path of independent development, especially those who understand the past, that is, have a clear understanding of the Second Age. To put it more seriously, if the Human Federation cannot be prevented from breaking away from the Galactic Alliance, these powerful beings will definitely eradicate the Human Federation with their own hands, at least it is much better than letting the Human Federation grow and posing a threat to their status and even their existence.

You have to come up with a complete solution, even if you can't buy that much time, you have to do your best.

The question is, how do you buy more time?

Along the way, Yang Yi was thinking about this problem, but he didn't come up with a feasible solution. It's not that he's not smart enough, it's that the current Human Federation is too weak. Even if Yang Yi had the confidence to defeat the Wanluo War Emperor, he didn't have the courage to lead the Human Federation to challenge the Lei Ling Clan. It's not because he's timid and afraid of death, it's that the Human Federation doesn't have the strength to challenge the Lei Ling clan at all, let alone face all the top civilizations.

It can be said that as long as the situation gets out of control, the results are unimaginable.

Obviously, the top priority is to stabilize the situation, and it is necessary to let the Star Soul Empress return to the North Fourth District safely. In addition, it is also necessary to establish a good relationship with the Star Soul Empress and maintain the relationship with the Star Weaver Alliance. As for what to do next, Yang Yi didn't think much about it, and there was no need to think about it now. After the situation stabilizes, whether or not she suppresses the Wanluo War Emperor and becomes the overlord of the Galactic Alliance, the Star Soul Empress will once again expedition to the Northern Alpha Galaxy, and will also bring the legions of other civilizations, and even win over the Hidden Spirit Clan. Quite simply, the Star Soul Empress would not give up the God Emperor Armor because of this. At that time, the Human Federation, as an ally of the Weaver Clan and the actual controller of the North Fourth Region, will not only be able to occupy a place, but also play a vital role, and will be able to influence the course of the war.

In the same way, the Wanluo War Emperor would definitely do everything in his power to prevent the Star Soul Empress from returning to the North Fourth District.

Coming to the ninth station, Yang Yi found the Star Soul Empress.

It was a planetary-level military stronghold, and it was originally planned to be based on the human home, and although the construction work was later adjusted, there was still enough space in the stronghold to accommodate tens of thousands of legions. When completed, the spaceport in geosynchronous orbit will be able to support tens of thousands of warships. It is also the closest key stronghold to the Northern Alpha system, and is garrisoned by 3,000 officers and soldiers. Strictly speaking, it was actually three thousand militiamen, because these officers and soldiers did not belong to the expeditionary force, but were recruited by the Yu family. However, they enjoy the same treatment as the officers and men of the expeditionary force, and they can be incorporated into the combat unit of the expeditionary force at any time when necessary.

Yuyang had already made arrangements and prepared a barracks for Yang Yi and them.

In order to keep it secret, the Star Soul Empress and the accompanying Otis and other female warriors were disguised as expeditionary officers and soldiers, and belonged to a special force led by Lin Feng.

After Yang Yi expressed her intention to talk about it alone, the Star Soul Empress took Otis away.

"Now it's just the two of us, let's do whatever we want."

"Your Majesty, don't you think that our journey is too smooth?"

"Isn't that good?"

Yang Yi smiled faintly and said, "If you can go all the way back to the North Fourth District, it will naturally be great." It's just that Your Majesty thinks we can go all the way back to the North Fourth District? Not to mention anything else, the Wanluo War Emperor blatantly formed a coalition army, and also took out hundreds of thousands of cargo spaceships to cheer up other civilizations, obviously not just for show. It can be said that the Wanluo War Emperor is determined to deal with His Majesty, and we have left the front line and returned to the Northern Fourth District alone according to his plan. Maybe he hasn't heard from us yet, or hasn't figured out our whereabouts yet, so he didn't do anything. It's just that if it drags on like this, we may not be able to hold out to the end. ”

"What do you mean?"

"To put it simply, the Wanluo War Emperor knows that we will definitely return to the Northern Fourth District, and he will leave immediately. In the case of instability in the rear, we will certainly not stay at the front, at least you will not. For him, the biggest problem is to find out where we are, or where we are. The problem is that we are low-key, and there are military strongholds controlled by the Human Expeditionary Force along the way, and the intelligence system of the Lei Ling Clan is not very strong, so the Wanluo War Emperor may not be able to obtain key information in time. Although it would not be difficult for the Heavenly Saint Emperor to figure out our whereabouts as long as he was willing to help, with the character of the Heavenly Saint Emperor, he might not be willing to choose a position before you and the Wanluo War Emperor were separated. In this way, it will be difficult for the Wanluo War Emperor to grasp our whereabouts in time, and he will not be able to take action. The question is, will Wanluo Zhanhuang give up because of this? The answer is obviously no, because as long as you successfully return to the North Fourth District, his good days will come to an end, and the hegemony of the Lei Ling Clan will come to an end. Whether it's for yourself or for the sake of the Lei Ling Clan, Wanluo Zhanhuang will not let you return smoothly. If it drags on to the end, he will definitely have no choice but to take risks. ”

"At that time, I'm afraid he won't be in charge."

"The premise is that Your Majesty can spread the news, can have an impact on other civilizations, and can make the Wanluo War Emperor realize that he has been defeated."

The Star Soul Empress's brow jumped a few times, and her expression darkened.

"There is no doubt that this is almost impossible. It's very simple, before returning to the North Fourth District, we must not take the initiative to contact the rear, because this will inevitably expose our whereabouts, which is equivalent to telling Wanluo Zhanhuang where we are. In addition, before His Majesty returns to the North Fourth District, even if the Weavers have controlled enough civilizations, especially those that have always been friendly with the Weavers and have already begun to mobilize for war, they may not be able to change anything. It's very simple, as long as the Wanluo War Emperor is released, the first thing to deal with is the Human Federation. After the Human Federation was controlled by the Wanluo War Emperor, not to mention other civilizations, I am afraid that even the Weaver Star Clan would not be able to touch the Northern Fourth Region. ”

"In this way, no one knows what happened in the North Fourth District."

Yang Yi nodded and said: "Wanluo Zhanhuang is ruthless, and when the time comes, he will have no scruples, with his person, I am afraid that he will not deal with His Majesty alone, and there will be no fair duel." If we are facing the Thunderling Clan's legion, or even the Thunderling Clan's fleet, does Your Majesty think we still have a chance to win? ”

The Star Soul Empress didn't say anything, but her stern look answered the question.

Yang Yi also sighed, and didn't continue, he had to give the Star Soul Empress a little time to think.

"In that case, we can bring in some legions."

"Useful?"

The Star Soul Empress looked at Yang Yi incomprehensibly, waiting for Yang Yi to make her words clear.

"Not to mention how much time it will take to mobilize the legion, as long as the main legion of the Weaver Clan moves, the Phantom Ghost Emperor will guess our whereabouts and then inform the Wanluo War Emperor. If Your Majesty were the Emperor of Wanluo War, what would he do? Obviously, as long as His Majesty returns to the Northern Fourth District with the main army of the Weaver Clan, it is equivalent to telling Wanluo Zhanhuang that you already know about his conspiracy and are ready to turn against him. ”

"Of course."

"So, has Your Majesty ever thought about what the consequences would be if we were forced into a corner by the Wanluo War Emperor before we could have an impact on the situation in the Northern Fourth District?"

"What consequences?"

Yang Yi let out a long breath and said, "Obviously, this is tantamount to forcing the Wanluo War Emperor to make a move in advance. If I were him, I would immediately take control of the Human Federation, even if I offended the Weavers and even went to war with them. At that time, what awaits Your Majesty in the North Fourth Region will definitely not be the legion of the Human Federation, nor the fleet of the Yu family, but the Leling Clan legion commanded by the Wanluo War Emperor, and the strength of the army will be at least twice as large as ours, or even more. I don't know how Your Majesty feels, but at least I don't think it's a wise move to use three thousand already exhausted Star Weaver Clan legions to deal with the Lei Ling Clan Legion who are waiting for work. What's more, this will inevitably lead to serious consequences that none of us can predict. ”

At this moment, the Star Soul Empress understood. (To be continued.) )
