699 Shipwreck (2)
Easier said than done, although Atlantis has the tradition of "the nobles expand the land is the fief", but an empty nobleman who has lost his fief has no economic base and no resources to support, and what does Perian De, who has nothing, use to regain the fief?
So far, at least, there have been very few examples of salted fish turning over.
It seems that it is a lot easier to open up a new colony star, but the colonization must have a sufficient population, and the population on the colony star does not reach a certain number, and the star country will not officially include the colony star in the territorial scope.
The lesser of two evils, Perry and Ard know when to clench his fists and when to let go.
It is not an easy task to always make the choice that is best for you.
To be honest, the strength of the Atlantis Praetorian Guard is indeed not comparable to the second-rate legions on the border, and the pre-war reconnaissance is very good, otherwise it would not have been found that DX136 concentrated a large number of flying saucers, and sent enough fleets to destroy the saucer army in DX136 in one fell swoop.
After the Praetorian Guards won the victory of all six systems at the same time, they immediately withdrew without any delay and returned to Morro to receive the property that had belonged to Periande.
It may seem strange to take DX136 and not occupy it, but inside Atlantis it is quite normal.
Although the strength of the Praetorian Fleet is strong, it is a matter for the nobles to expand their territory, and the bigwigs of the Central Star Domain will not overstep their bounds, let alone waste their precious fleets on the battlefield of opening up borders!
The Praetorian Fleet in the Central Star Domain is the most important thing to stabilize the country, and it will never be sent abroad unless necessary. nor will it interfere with the normal functioning of the noble fiefdom in any way.
On the surface, this is a move by the Central Star Domain not to interfere with the noble fiefdoms, but in the bones, the Central Star Domain is unwilling to be consumed by the Praetorian Fleet in the war against the Saucer Clan, so as to prevent the turmoil in the country caused by the exhaustion of the military strength of the Central Star Domain.
It's not that Perian doesn't want to occupy a galaxy such as DX136, but he simply can't afford to have so many people and resources, and the lack of population and resources will greatly affect the infrastructure of the new astrological system.
This seems to have nothing to do with the war, but the galaxy that occupies the Saucer will inevitably face a full-scale counterattack by the Saucer, and the fleet in Periande's hands is simply impossible to resist the counterattack of the Saucer, and if you want to hold the new astrological system, you must build enough interstellar cannons.
You can't occupy a new galaxy without people and resources. If you can't expand your territory, you won't be able to occupy more resources. The two reasons are mutually contained, and almost put Perian in an endless cycle of no solution.
What disappointed Perian the most was that he wanted to split the Moro Star Field in two and hand over half of the battle line to the Central Star Field, but the bigwigs of the Central Star Field did not agree at all. Resolutely do not want any of the systems in the border area!
This decision made Periande's situation even worse - only half of the territory was left, but the front line was not reduced. He had already foreseen that the day would come when he would cede his territory again and ask the Central Star Domain to dispatch the Praetorian Legion was in the near future.
At this moment, Perian was extremely resentful of the low fertility of the Atlanteans. How good it would be if the Atlanteans reproduced as fast as humans? Every twenty years he will be able to raise an entire generation, and the population problem will be solved.
On May 4, 2214, all Atlanteans withdrew from the Saucer Clan. The vigorous war ended. However, the departing Janissaries of Atlantis were puzzled to discover that several of their intended targets had been destroyed before their fleet arrived, so much so that many fleets were left empty.
Although this accident reduced the losses of the Praetorian Legion, Perian also used this reason to regain many systems that would have been handed over to the central star field - the Atlanteans had to pay for the harvest in principle, and failed to destroy enough of the Saucers as planned, making the Praetorian Legion very angry from top to bottom.
However, Perian was very happy, he soon realized that the accident in the war zone was likely to be related to humans, and the image of the galaxy captured by Guò faster-than-light flight proved this, but he did not accept this at all, and instead stabbed the information directly to the upper echelons of Atlantis.
The top management of Atlantis originally just thought that the human race had some strength, but he didn't expect that the human race would be able to seize the front of the Praetorian Guard to launch a full-scale attack on the Saucer Clan.
The human warship attacked the Saucer system for only a few minutes, but the Atlantean battleship received the image in a fixed position, and there was a certain difference in the distance between the planets in the same galaxy.
Because the distance between the planets is extremely far, the time difference between the images of each planet when they are destroyed spreads in one direction, and the destruction time that was originally only a few tens of seconds apart has been extended to more than ten minutes, and in the eyes of Atlantis, it is more than ten minutes after one planet is destroyed before destroying another planet.
As a result, the Atlanteans mistakenly underestimated the combat effectiveness of human warships, but for a civilization that has not been in the universe for a long time, the human expression is very eye-catching, and all those in the Atlantis Star Kingdom are impressed.
The human alliance was also officially in the eyes of the Atlanteans higher-ups, but all the Atlanteans scoffed at this proposal, and no one felt that the great Atlantis should be allied with the slave-like earthlings.
This result made Perian very happy, at least for a short time, no one would be interested in the earthlings, and he still had a chance to take the earthlings in his pocket - the arrogance of the high level made him ignore the combat effectiveness of the human fleet when attacking the Saucer system, or rather, he did not want to believe that humans could compete with the great Atlanteans, and subconsciously belittled the strength of humans.
It's like people living in big cities look down on people in small cities, and people in the imperial capital look down on all people outside the imperial capital, even if humans show enough ability in the battle against the Saucer Clan, the Atlanteans still have enough reason to look down on the earthlings.
No matter what changes occur within Atlantis, it is impossible for humanity to get the news.
Due to the fact that the set goal was preempted by the Atlanteans, the third phase of the revenge operation ended without a hitch, and the battleships lurking in various galaxies immediately advanced to the predetermined assembly point after receiving the order to retreat, and all the troops arrived at the assembly battle in interstellar space, and the seven battleships in better condition stayed here to monitor the movements of the Disc Clan according to the orders of the headquarters, and the other warships only left their weapons for self-protection, and handed over all the excess light-speed torpedoes and planetary bursts to these seven warships and returned to the mainland.
