Chapter 501: In One Sentence
When Zhan Ruilin returned to the "Iron Ambition", the news provided by the Star Soul Empress was confirmed.
The Silicon Charm army besieging the home system has abandoned the outer defensive line that it had captured not long ago, destroyed many fortresses, and began to prepare for a retreat. In addition, the War Department has been in contact with many of the colonial system's resistance groups, as well as the raiding ships operating behind enemy lines. Anomalies have occurred in various colony systems, and almost all of the galaxy's Silicon Charm armies are preparing for retreat, and some have even begun to evacuate.
It's just that this is not something to be happy about.
Quite simply, when preparing to evacuate, the Silicon Charm army began to wreak havoc unscrupulously, and in many colonial galaxies, the Silicon Charm army even carried out complete destruction by destroying planets suitable for human survival, so that these galaxies could no longer be used by the Human Federation.
The military department also sent a message, asking Zhan Ruilin and others to hurry back to discuss the next combat operations.
As for the matter of the Weaver Legion, it was coldened to the side. At this juncture, the military and federal authorities are concerned about how to keep the colonial system.
When Zhan Ruilin returned to his home system aboard the "Iron Ambition", a royal fighter plane arrived at the Weaver fleet.
It was Lin Feng who arrived.
In order to allow Lin Feng to return to her home galaxy, the Star Soul Empress continued to let her use the spare fighter. It was in this way that Lin Feng was able to come to Proxima Centauri, which was five light years away. In fact, the Star Soul Empress never proposed to let Lin Feng return the spare fighter, which can be said to be given to Lin Feng.
Lin Feng's revelation of Yang Yi's whereabouts in the Federal Assembly was the arrangement of the Star Soul Empress, and it was also Yang Yi's decision.
Although this will push Yang Yi to the forefront, and will also make Zhan Ruilin regard Yang Yi as an enemy, the benefits are equally obvious. Not to mention anything else, Yang Yi went to Mars to resist the Silicon Charm army. It's enough for everyone to think of him as a hero of the Human Federation, especially the civilians in the colonial galaxy who are being poisoned by the war. More importantly, what the current Human Federation needs is a hero who stands up. Even if the current Yang Yi is far from being comparable to Xiao Wentian at the beginning, whether it is personal strength. is still prestige, Yang Yi is far worse than Xiao Wentian who led the human army to the Lighthouse Star, but as long as Yang Yi stands up at this time, people will associate him with Xiao Wentian and treat him as Xiao Wentian, at least they will have the same hope for him.
Of course, Lin Feng's announcement of Yang Yi's whereabouts still had a collateral impact beyond their expectations.
Not to mention anything else, the Silicon Charm Fleet came here to ambush the Weaver Fleet. Most likely, it has something to do with it.
Actually, Lin Feng had already arrived. It's just that she didn't expect that Zhan Ruilin and the others would leave the flagship, so Lin Feng could only honestly wait until Zhan Ruilin and the others left before going to find the Star Soul Empress. Of course, Lin Feng didn't waste time and did a very important thing while waiting.
"Are you sure?"
"Absolutely." Lin Feng replied decisively. "At first, I didn't believe it, but that guy told me about the battle in the Gonn system. There is no deviation. It can be concluded that the ambush here is Kutum's Silicon Fleet. ”
"Just. Kutum is not in the fleet. ”
Lin Feng nodded and didn't say anything more.
"It seems that my previous fears were indeed correct." The Star Soul Empress sighed and said, "This fleet is not here to destroy us, and Kutum will not expect to destroy us in such an easy way. He sent the fleet over. Actually, I want to figure out one thing. ”
"Did the Weaver Legion follow the fleet?"
The Star Soul Empress nodded slightly and said, "In other words, Kutum not only received the news that we were about to arrive at Proxima Centauri, but also knew that Yang Yi had taken the legion to Beacon Mars. Before that, only you announced Yang Yi's whereabouts. Although the Yu family also knew that Yang Yi had gone to Beacon Mars. However, the number of people who know accurate information is limited to a few people such as Yu Linglong, and the Yu family does not know my whereabouts, so the possibility of the Yu family leaking information is very small. ”
"It must be the military department that leaked the news."
"The question is, who will leak the news to the enemy?"
"This ......"
Seeing Lin Feng's appearance of wanting to speak and stopping, the Star Soul Empress was full of suspicions, but she didn't ask, after all, Lin Feng would tell her if she knew.
"Your Majesty, we don't need to guess."
"You think, that's it?"
"Your Majesty has led the fleet and legions of the Weaver Clan to arrive, and reinforcements from other civilizations are about to arrive. So far, we have not received any news that the Lei Ling Clan and the Hidden Spirit Clan have sent troops, and even if the Lei Ling Clan and the Hidden Spirit Clan have already started the war mobilization, it is impossible to send reinforcements in time. Lin Feng paused slightly, and then said, "It can be said that the overall situation has been decided, and the top priority is to sign an alliance treaty with the Human Federation as soon as possible." If you delay time for some trivial hours and lead to unexpected variables, it will be more than worth the loss. ”
"You think it's a trivial matter?"
Lin Feng pursed his lips and didn't explain much.
"Well, even if you're not mistaken, it's a trivial matter. If you stop there and don't pursue it anymore, do you think there is still any point in forming an alliance? If nothing else, at least those who leak the information will think that the Weavers are easy to bully, so the alliance between the Weavers and the Human Federation will be difficult to maintain for a long time. "The Star Soul Empress is indeed a little angry, because she didn't expect Lin Feng to say such a thing." What's more, the threat to the home system has been lifted, and I'm afraid that the authorities of the Human Federation will not be too enthusiastic about forming an alliance. Even if I take your advice and don't pursue this matter further, I may not be able to sign an alliance treaty with the Human Federation in time. ”
"Your Majesty really thinks so?"
The Star Soul Empress was slightly stunned, and looked at Lin Feng incomprehensibly.
"First of all, I didn't say that I won't pursue it anymore, it's just that it's not the time yet. Secondly, as long as the empress wants to, then the signing of the alliance treaty is a matter of course. ”
"Really?"
Lin Feng sighed secretly and said, "Although I don't know who leaked the news, I can be sure that this guy's purpose is not to bring down the Human Federation, but he just feels that an alliance with the Weaver Clan will not bring anything to the Human Federation, or that there is still hope for the Hidden Spirit Clan." ”
The Star Soul Empress frowned, did not say a word, and waited for Lin Feng to continue.
"Besides, how much does Your Majesty know about the Human Federation?"
"What do you mean?"
"It is undeniable that the Federation of Humanity is not a monolith, especially in peacetime, where almost everyone lives only for themselves. It is also undeniable that in the past thousands of years, after experiencing the devastation of several Greenwich Wars, the Human Federation has not only not been defeated, but has become stronger and stronger, and there must be something extraordinary, and it can even be said that there is something inherently strong. Perhaps in the eyes of a foreigner like Your Majesty, human beings themselves are a contradiction, but doesn't Your Majesty feel that this is where human beings are strong? ”
The Star Soul Empress nodded thoughtfully, in fact, she didn't understand, she was just thinking seriously.
"I say this, in fact, I just hope that Your Majesty can understand that no matter what the purpose of that person is, in fact, it is ultimately for the Human Federation, but his views and positions are different from ours. Facts speak louder than words, and no matter how many people still have hope for the Hidden Spirit Clan or the Thunderling Clan, the first reinforcements to arrive are the Weavers. I believe that after the Legion of the Weavers enters the battle and helps the Human Federation defeat a strong enemy, no matter who it is, it will recognize the reality and know who is the ally of the Human Federation and who is a trustworthy friend. On the other hand, if the Weaver Legion doesn't do anything after they arrive, wouldn't it just make those guys get their wish? ”
"I didn't expect you to say that."
Lin Feng was slightly stunned and laughed embarrassedly.
"You're right, if we don't move, we'll just let those guys seize the handle, and when the time comes, let alone form an alliance with the Human Federation, it's a question of whether we can trust each other." The Star Soul Empress let out a long sigh and said, "It's just that right now, there aren't many places where the Star Weaver Clan Legion can play a role. ”
"Your Majesty thinks so?"
"Kutum has begun to withdraw his troops, and the other top warlords will be no exception. In fact, even if we don't do anything, the Silicon Charm army will withdraw. ”
"And then?"
The Star Soul Empress looked at Lin Feng incomprehensibly.
"Your Majesty, there is only the Human Federation in the current North Fourth District, and other civilizations have long since perished. Even if the Silicon Charm army retreats, nothing will be left behind. ”
"You mean ......"
"If we don't take action, then when the Silicon Charm army retreats, there will definitely not be a planet left that we can use."
The Star Soul Empress fell silent, her expression very solemn.
"The retreat of the Silicon Charm army, whether it is a direct retreat to the Northern Alpha System, a retreat to the Greenwich Meteorite Belt, or just a temporary retreat, will make long-term plans, and the most important thing is that we will not be able to launch a counterattack in time, so that we cannot pose a threat to the Silicon Alliance. The Weaver fleet and legions have arrived, reinforcements from other civilizations will also arrive, and the Human Federation has long begun to mobilize for war, so the most effective way is to destroy the occupied star system while retreating, so that we have no basis for counterattack. Lin Feng paused slightly, and then said, "If my worries come true, it will be a huge disaster not only for the Human Federation, but also for the entire Galactic Alliance. It is conceivable that in this war, and even for a long time to come, we will not be able to gain a strategic advantage, and it will be impossible to completely defeat the Silicon Charm Alliance. Wait until the next war breaks out......"
"Wait!"
The Star Soul Empress suddenly interrupted Lin Feng's words, Lin Feng was stunned for a moment, and then immediately stopped.
"You're starting to get to the point."
"The key?"
The Star Soul Empress nodded slightly, sighed again, and said, "There is a question that I haven't figured out, and you reminded me when you started. ”
"This ......"
"Are you free? If you're not in a hurry to get back, come with me. ”
"Where are you going?"
"Beacon Mars."
Lin Feng was slightly stunned, and immediately nodded in agreement. Although I don't know why the Star Soul Empress went to Mars, but Yang Yi is there, Lin Feng certainly won't care about trouble. (To be continued.) )
