Chapter 531: In the Clouds
When the first landing ships landed one after another, and the twenty regiments of the vanguard lined up one after another, Figos not only did not relax, but also had a headache. The point is, Figos is just an ordinary war king, and the twenty legions of the vanguard come from all over the world. Not to mention having twenty jagged legions ready for battle in time after landing, even organizing them would be a hassle.
In fact, Figos couldn't understand why the guy who stayed in the flagship was so arranged.
Of course, there were so many things that Figges couldn't figure out.
Although he is the king of war under Kutum, it can be said that he is the lord of the party, at least for the past hundreds of years, Figos has been the supreme existence in his ruling area, because a top king like Kutum will hardly care about the affairs of the jurisdiction below in peacetime, and all chores are handled by his war king. But in terms of identity, Figos is only a war king, and in the Silicon Charm Alliance, if not a million, a war king like him has hundreds of thousands. Even under Kutum, there are tens of thousands of war kings who are on an equal footing with Figos. In other words, for Kutum, Figos is just a war king, not an irreplaceable existence.
Apparently, Kutum will only tell Figos what to do, not why he should do it.
Figos is also self-aware of this, so he never asks too much. Like other war kings, Kutum tells him to do whatever he wants. As for why he did this, it was not something he should consider, and he couldn't ask more questions in his capacity.
In fact, after the outbreak of the war, Figos has always had a feeling of being in a fog.
First of all, the war came so suddenly and without warning. Unlike the last five Greenwich Wars, there was some rumours before they broke out. This time it was completely different, at least Figos didn't hear any rumors about the outbreak of war. As if overnight, the war came. Figos remembers very well that he issued an order for combat readiness in Kutum, asking all the kings to organize their legions within the specified time. And while he was ready for battle, Figos was worried about some trivial matters in his jurisdiction. At that time, his first reaction was that the order was passed on incorrectly, and he sent a message asking for information to find out if it was an order from Kutum himself. Of course, Figos wasn't stupid enough to ask Kutum directly, and he was shocked by the answers he received.
Secondly, the war is moving so fast that Figos feels like he is dreaming.
Until now, so to speak. Figos didn't come back to his senses.
Although he did not participate in the Fifth Greenwich War, Figos knew that in that war, it still took nearly five years for the Silicon Alliance to complete the sweep of the North Fourth Sector despite taking the lead. It was in these five years that the Human Federation completed its war mobilization and entered the Lighthouse Star in time, after fifty years of hard fighting. In the end, a big reversal was achieved here.
This time, it only took three months. Strictly speaking, it's less than three months.
Figos couldn't believe that the Human Federation, which had left the Silicon Alliance in vain a thousand years ago, was so fragile that it could even be considered vulnerable. From the Greenwich Line to the home system, the human legions were almost all the way down, and there was no strong resistance at all. In many places, human legions retreated voluntarily after being attacked. It's tantamount to giving up these vital star systems to the enemy. The point is that this is not an organized retreat, but a total rout, during which many human legions have suffered heavy losses or even total annihilation. Only a handful have returned to their home system. If it weren't for the human federation that has worked hard for thousands of years in the home galaxy and built a complete defense system, I am afraid that when the Silicon Charm army arrives, even the defenders of the home system will collapse.
Is this the Human Federation that made the Silicon Charm Alliance taste the pain back then?
What is even more puzzling to Figos is that Kutum seems to know that the human legion will collapse all the way, so he is also very aggressive when formulating an attack plan. At that time, not to mention Figos, no war king believed that he could defeat the Human Federation with such aggressive offensive tactics. You must know that before killing the home system, Kutum sent the main force to sweep other star systems, and only arranged a fleet of 1,000 warships and a hundred legions to advance to the home system, and also swept the star systems along the way, costing more than half of the legions. In other words, if the human legion does not retreat, as long as it stops in a certain star system and holds on for a while, the vanguard of the Silicon Charm army can be defeated. If the human legion has enough morale, it can even seize the opportunity to recapture a few star systems. It can be said that as long as the human legion persists in a certain star system, then the scene of a thousand years ago will be played out again.
The problem is, the Human Legion didn't do that.
At that time, Figges admired Kutum so much. It's just that what happened next made him feel like an idiot again.
In less than three months, the Silicon Charm army had reached the periphery of the home galaxy and successfully surrounded the home system.
According to Figos's understanding, the next step is to storm the home system and achieve a decisive victory before the Human Federation completes its war mobilization. According to the experience and lessons of the previous Greenwich Wars, Figos and other war kings all know that as long as the Human Federation completes the war mobilization, it can burst out with extraordinary combat effectiveness. If a commander emerges, the human legion is almost invincible.
As a result, Kutum gave an order, and the Silicon Charm army that had surrounded the home system stopped.
At first, Figos also felt that there was a reason for the incident, after all, it was the vanguard that arrived in the home system at that time, not only did it not have enough legions, but also did not have enough warships, so it rashly launched an attack, not only could not capture the home system, but also exposed the lack of confidence of the Silicon Charm army.
The problem was that after the fleets and legions from other places arrived, Kutum still did not give the order to attack.
Then, a piece of bad news almost left Figos in despair.
Unbeknownst to him and without any news from the other Warlords, the Silicon Fleet under the command of Kutum encountered the Weaver Fleet in the Central Region and suffered a crushing defeat, with most of the capital ships damaged and more than half of the small warships unable to escape.
Why did Kutum lead the main fleet deep into the Center? Why did you encounter the Weaver Fleet? Why suffered a crushing defeat in the decisive battle of the fleet?
Too many whys made Figos almost hopeless.
At this point, not only Figos, but also other war kings felt that the best time to capture the home galaxy had passed, and the only way to avoid suffering greater losses and avoid complete defeat was to shrink the battle line, abandon the home system, adjust the combat deployment in time, and prepare to fight with the reinforcements of the Weaver Clan. To put it bluntly, the sudden appearance of the Weaver fleet is enough to prove that the Weaver reinforcements are about to arrive.
It's just that Kutum's decision once again surprised Figos.
After returning, Kutum's first order was to launch a general attack, so that all the Warlords who were near the home system at that time would launch their legions.
Although surprised and puzzled, Figges carried out the order given by Kutum.
In fact, judging from the situation at the time, Figos saw this as a last chance to capture the home system before the reinforcements of the Weavers arrived.
Of course, Figos is not the only one who has this realization.
It is precisely because of this that the Silicon Charm Army launched the largest attack since the beginning of the war, and strictly speaking, this is also the first attack of the Silicon Charm Army in this war, because in the previous battles, the Silicon Charm Army almost bloodlessly captured the colonial galaxy of the Human Federation.
It can be said that Figues is only one step away from victory.
At that time, the legion under the command of Figos had been at the forefront, the first to break through the outer defenses of the home system, and the first to advance to the second line of defense.
It's a pity that it was this last step that Figues didn't take over.
When he received the retreat order from Kutum, Figos was organizing his legions and preparing to launch a new offensive with the intention of breaking through the second line of defense in one fell swoop. After being shocked, Figos learned that reinforcements from the Weavers had arrived, and that Proxima Centauri, just a few light-years away, had routed the fleet sent by Kutum in the battle and took control of Proxima Centauri. In other words, reinforcements from the Weavers could appear near their home system at any time. Because it had consumed too many troops in the previous attack and suffered too many losses, the Silicon Charm army had no reserve troops, and if it was attacked by the Weaver Clan Legion at this time, it would definitely be completely defeated.
Obviously, if we don't withdraw now, I'm afraid there will be no chance to withdraw.
It's just that when Figos was ready to withdraw to the Northern Alpha system, Kutum sent a new order, asking him to take the legion to the Tomb of God Ten Light Years away from the Wolf Smoke Galaxy, and lay in ambush there, waiting for a new order, and clearly mentioned that no action can be taken until the new order is received, and the only thing to ensure is not to be discovered by the enemy, that is, not to reveal his whereabouts.
Figos has no objection to this.
The Wolf Smoky Galaxy is on the route across the Greenwich Meteorite Belt, and if the Silicon Charm army is ready to withdraw to the North Alpha Galaxy, it will have to control this route, and it will have to control the Smoky Galaxy. Because the human legion had already entered the Wolf Smoke Galaxy in advance, and the legions commanded by other war kings had not yet withdrawn, it would be impossible to organize enough legions to launch an attack for a while and a half, so it was normal to ambush in the Divine Tomb Galaxy first.
It's just that this wait is more than a month.
It wasn't until a few days ago that Figos received an order from Kutum to rush out of the Tomb system with his legion and head towards the Wolfsmoke system.
It was only at this time that Figos realized that it was not only him who Kutum had sent to attack the Wolf Smoke Galaxy, but also eleven other legions commanded by the War King, as well as a fleet large enough but without many capital ships. Because Figos was the first to arrive in the Tomb system and was the most prepared, according to Kutum's deployment, he was the vanguard, responsible for landing on Beacon Mars and seizing the landing ground for the other legions.
It's just that Figos is not commanding his own legion, but a mixed army.
Of these twenty legions, only two belong to Figos, and the other eighteen legions are all from other war kings, and are only temporarily commanded by Figos.
Obviously, this is a big problem. (To be continued.) )
