On a training ground in a rebel base, groups of soldiers are conducting all kinds of training under the loud reprimand of the instructor. The temperature in the closed base is maintained at about 20 to 28 degrees all year round, neither too hot nor too cold, but at this moment, these soldiers are sweating profusely under the arduous training, and it is obvious that the intensity of the training is very high.

Many of them were almost at their limit, but the instructors still kept their faces cold and didn't give them time to rest.

Occasionally, people passing by the base saw them, but they were all indifferent, and no one would show sympathy.

Because, these soldiers who are being trained are all prisoners from the 20th fleet of Isseras.

When Yun Yi returned to the rebel base with the 8,000 warships he had captured, the millions of soldiers were put under intensive care and undergo intensive training and rehabilitation, striving to convert their minds in a short period of time and make them useful to the rebels. After all, the rebels now have a large number of warships, but they do not have the corresponding crews. Although the robots developed by Lorraine can adapt to many jobs, there is still a huge shortage of labor.

In order to make these captives change their minds, Yun Yi even asked Zhao Xiyue to compose and sing a few songs specifically for this aspect, and played them every day when they were fine.

Several methods have been put together, and the effect is still very good, and now almost ordinary soldiers have expressed their desire to join the camp of the rebels and fight against the evil Iserath. These men included not only soldiers, but also a large number of officers, who provided fairly confidential information about Iseras, such as fleet formation, garrison arrangements, etc., which played a great role in the Resistance's intelligence collection. Of course, just like that, they still didn't dare to let them go to the battlefield on the battleship alone. They will be disrupted and wait for the arrival of Berwick's fleet, and arrange for them to be in the Berwick fleet. In that case, even if they fake their surrender, it will be too small in numbers to be of any use.

With Berwick announcing the start of the war, hundreds of thousands of special agents secretly sent by Berwick half a year ago have formed their own underground forces after secretly developing, co-opting, and growing on various planets in Isseras. On various planets, they used the large sums of money they brought to them to bribe local officials, woo the nobles, help the poor, and constantly come into contact with those who were dissatisfied with Iserras, and develop them into their own power. By now, some of the fastest-growing groups have grown to millions of people and are still expanding. With the covert help of not only the poor, but also businessmen, soldiers, police, and even government personnel who were dissatisfied with the existing policies of Isseras, the team was able to obtain a large number of weapons and even set up a mecha unit.

Of course, this is also indispensable for the help of the nobles who were influenced by Zagu and dissatisfied with Douglas's notification.

For a time, under the control of those special agents, those secret organizations wreaked havoc on the military bases, stations, shipbuilding and maintenance institutions of Iseras on various planets, and attacked Iseras from the inside.

If it was during the previous reign of Zagu, the empire would have sent troops to exterminate these people at the first time and slaughter them bloodily! But now that Zagu had become a captive of Berwick, and the ruler Douglas was not as brutal and decisive as Zagu, he was now responsible for facing the arriving Berwick army on the eastern frontier.

On January 8, 5252, the second, third, and ninth fleets of the Republic of Beric entered the territory of Isseras from the midline.

On January 9, 5252, the fourth, fifth, and eighth fleets of the Republic of Berwick attacked the area occupied by Isseras in the former Meenlan from the south.

In the afternoon of the same day, the Sixth and Seventh Flotillas of Berwick attacked the territory of Isseras from the northern front.

On the border between the Eltaviye Kingdom and Berwick, the 21st Fleet of the Chu-Tang Empire, the 3rd Fleet of the Lekima Federation, and the combined fleet of the Ketra Kingdom and the Xiao Chen Kingdom are displayed, with a total of 50,000 warships, under the commander-in-chief of the 21st Fleet of the Chu-Tang Dynasty, Xu Tianyuan. The former commander of the 21st Fleet was Lin Yiqing of the Lin family, and after the end of the Yili War, he was transferred back to Chutang to serve as the commander of other fleets, while Xu Tianyuan, who shone in the war, naturally became the commander of the 21st Fleet.

On the border between the Kingdom of Cato and Berwick in Poland, there is the 20th Fleet of the Chutang Empire, the 5th Fleet of the Republic of Leland, and the Holy Griffin Legion, one of the four legions of the Papal States of St. Calinia, which has just announced its support for Berwick's side and sent a fleet of 10,000 warships, with Yang Tiexin, commander of the 20th Fleet of Chutang as the commander-in-chief.

These two corps, which consisted entirely of guest troops, were not on the main combat mission, and the purpose of placing them here was also to prevent the two countries of Eltavier and the Polish Cato from taking advantage of the fire.

In addition to the above fleets, Berwick left only the First Fleet to defend the capital in its own country. The Tenth Fleet, on the other hand, was a fleet led by Hong Tie, a secret fleet that roamed the borders of Eltavier and Isseras. The details of the Tenth Fleet, only a few people such as Yun Yi and Qi Daoxue know that his fleet will become a surprise force and appear at the most critical moment.

The three corps of the Northern, Central, and Southern Fronts were not hindered in the slightest on the border, and drove straight all the way, rapidly advancing towards the hinterland of Isseras.

Less than half a year after the completion of the new and majestic building in the middle of the base, it is now the political center of the Resistance, where most of the base's offices are concentrated, and countless orders are transmitted from here every day to all corners of Iseras.

At this time, in the large conference room on the top floor of the building, several high-ranking members of the rebel army gathered here, and a young man sat at the top of the house. Despite his age, the top leaders of the rebels in the audience all looked at him with admiration and respect, and listened quietly, not nodding their heads in agreement.

“…… To sum up, we can fully judge that the reason why Berwick's fleet did not encounter the enemy must be that Douglas has shrunk his defensive line and abandoned a large area of the starry sky, and the fleet under his control is rapidly concentrating in this area. We can imagine that once these fleets are assembled, they will form a strong defensive front. Although this front was not long, it gathered eighteen of the twenty-one main fleets of Iseras, and they surpassed us in the number of warships! At the same time, three more fleets stationed in the rear can also support the defensive front in a very short time! ”

The person who spoke was naturally Yun Yi, and while pointing to the star map projected around him, he explained carefully: "We also know that the person in charge of this defensive operation in Iserath is Douglas, who has the title of 'Piercing Water Shield', this person is extremely good at defensive operations, and can keenly grasp the flaws in the combat environment and launch deadly attacks. It must be said that this is an extremely formidable enemy. Look here, these planets and space bases that I marked with red dots are all important logistics and supply warehouses for the enemy. These locations are all very close to the defensive line, and according to me, the Yserath side has been secretly hoarding large quantities of supplies in these places since three months ago. Once the battle starts, the enemy can deliver supplies from these positions to the front line in close proximity, leaving them logistically stress-free! ”

"So!" He raised his head, his gaze swept over everyone, and said slowly: "The purpose of our resistance base is not to assist Berwick in occupying the planet, nor to help them defeat the enemy warships, but to do our best to delay the enemy's gathering!" As long as we can prevent them from rallying in the necessary time, this line of defense that Douglas has painstakingly prepared will be broken! ”

Sitting in second place on the right hand was Xiao He, a veteran of Zhao Song, and after Yun Yi finished speaking, he said slowly: "Lord Yun, although the current resistance base has been replenished by Berwick's forces in the past six months, the number of warships available for combat is less than 20,000, and it may be possible to contain part of the Iseras fleet, but I am afraid it will not exceed more than four." ”

Yun Yi nodded and said, "What about the others?" ”

Aurelia thought for a moment and said, "With the help of those commissioners and the 'Cook' team, we can destroy the enemy's base where supplies are hoarded. ”

"Well, I've thought about that before. But we can think of it, and Douglas can definitely think of it. Destruction behind the scenes can be done, but it must be done with care, caution, and not unnecessary sacrifices. Now, what do you think about delaying the enemy's build-up? ”

Everyone frowned, although it was an extremely important strategic task to be able to stop the enemy from gathering, but with the current ability of the rebels, it seemed that it would be difficult to complete the task.

He suddenly raised his head and said, "My lord, our cavalry regiment can contain at least five or more fleets. ”

During the ambush of the enemy's 2nd Zero Fleet, the cavalry regiment shone brightly. After watching the video footage of the battle, Aurelia and the others were deeply shocked by the strength of the cavalry regiment. Ambushing 15,000 warships with 4,000 mechs, defeating 6,000 enemy warships and capturing 8,000 warships without losing a single mech, such terrifying combat capabilities almost made them unbelievable.

At this moment, when they heard the proposal of the Gui Division, several other people immediately agreed. Even in the opinion of some people, as long as the cavalry regiment is sent out, regardless of whether the enemy has completed the assembly or not, the enemy can be easily defeated.

"The cavalry regiment will not attack for the time being."

Yun Yi said lightly. Others may not know, but he knows it himself. The cavalry regiment was able to defeat the 20th Fleet without losing a single soldier, on the one hand, the cavalry regiment was extremely capable of fighting, and more importantly, it was the existence of the bear. If there was no Cub to shield reconnaissance, block communications, and control the engine speed of enemy ships for the cavalry regiment, perhaps those two cavalry regiments could have won, but they would definitely have suffered a lot of casualties, and the existence of the cavalry regiment would have been known to Douglas.

It's hard to say whether Iserras and Berwick will win or lose now, but if the cavalry shows up, whether it's Douglas or others, they will think that Iserras will definitely lose. In this case, the Dragon Slayer will never sit idly by and wait for Iserras to perish. In other words, now that the cavalry regiment is exposed, it is very likely to attract the army of the Dragon Slayer Society, which is not what Yun Yi wants to see. Cavalry regiments can strike, but by no means now!

After Yun Yi vetoed this proposal, everyone was at a loss, and they all frowned and pondered. Even Yun Yi didn't have a good idea for a while, unless he sent Xiao Xiong and the cavalry regiment to go out together, but then he could only attack one or two fleets, and more fleets would still gather towards the defensive line.

After a while, Lorraine, who was sitting next to Aurelia, suddenly said: "Alas, it's a pity that the robot's autonomous combat procedures have not yet been completed, otherwise a shipload of robots will be loaded with a transport ship and quietly moored at the necessary point on their assembly route, and as soon as they dock, the robots will be released, and a suicide attack on the enemy warship will be carried out directly from the spaceport, which will inevitably delay their assembly speed." ”

Hearing his words, Yun Yi's heart suddenly moved, and he laughed: "Good idea, good idea!" ”
