Chapter 22 Where is the Maharaja?
The Grand Duke of the Blood Clan's face sank and said, "Don't forget, I am the master here!"
The Demon Spawn and the Werewolf each snorted, not rebutting, but also expressing their dissatisfaction.
At this moment, three figures quietly appeared behind Valhalla. The body of the human race was insignificant in the void, but the extremely powerful aura was particularly eye-catching. It was the Right Minister, the commander of the two Praetorian Fleet, and the three gods appeared behind Valhalla at the same time, clearly showing their determination to fight.
The Grand Duke of the Blood Clan's pupils shrank, and he looked back past the three god generals, and saw that the Imperial fleet had basically completed the reorganization of the formation, and was orderly lining up the attack formation behind Valhalla. At this moment, the flanks and rear of Valhalla are all protected, and it is impossible to besiege it again.
The Grand Duke of the Blood Clan's fingers tapping on the armrest stopped suddenly, and said calmly: "The spider demon is finished, retreat." ”
As soon as the order was given, the images of the Demon Spawn and the Werewolf Grand Duke resurfaced, and the Demon Spawn first shouted, "Why retreat!? Retreat now, all the warriors who are still alive on the battlefield will fall into the hands of the Terrans!"
"I'm in charge here! You want to call the shots, wait until you get the authorization from the council!"
The Demonborn almost roared, "I'll impeach you in the council!"
"Please, I'll wait. The Grand Duke of the Blood Clan showed a meaningful smile, and suddenly said, "If you want to continue fighting, you can do it, the two of us will change positions, and you will face that big guy, how about it?"
The Grand Duke of Demon Descent was stunned, his face became extremely ugly, and he said, "At this moment, do you think those Terrans will stand by and watch?"
"Just talk to them and they'll agree. Or you can go head-to-head with that big guy, and I won't stop you. Why, the Demon Descendants will also be scared sometimes?" the Grand Duke of the Blood Clan sneered.
The Demon Grand Duke's face changed, and his eyes were full of murderous intent. However, the Grand Duke of the Blood Clan didn't care at all, his eyes were full of provocation, and his mouth was not relaxed. Between the two of them, in terms of individual strength, the younger Demon Grand Duke is indeed slightly inferior, otherwise he will not be given the command of the fleet by the Blood Clan.
Going head-to-head with the Ship, what a stupid idiot would have to do. Valhalla had just destroyed two Grand Duke ships, leaving the opponent almost powerless to fight back. Although it looks like a half-finished product, it already has the flavor of a legendary battleship.
No matter what the Demon Grand Duke conceived, he felt that in order to defeat Valhalla, the only way to defeat Valhalla was to rely on the top powerhouses to forcibly land. However, the experience of the Spider Demon Grand Duke is in front of him, the Demon Grand Duke thinks that his strength and the Spider Demon Grand Duke are half a catty, and the Spider Demon Grand Duke is defeated quickly, and if he is replaced on the ship, there will be no good end.
In Valhalla, I don't know how many strong people are hidden.
Thinking of this, the Grand Duke of Demon Descent slowed down his tone and said slowly, "Okay, I agree to retreat, but you still have to think about how to explain your behavior today in the council." ”
The Grand Duke of the Blood Clan sneered, "I think you also have to think carefully about why your clan's Grand Duke-level main cannon appeared on the Terran warship." It's custom-made and won't be mistaken. If I'm not mistaken, wasn't this cannon supposed to be on Ringar's flagship? At the time it didn't seem to be at full power, but now, obviously, it's a full version. So, who exactly did the Terrans debug?"
The Grand Duke of Demon Descent said angrily: "Lin Jiaer's flagship was destroyed, so this cannon fell into the hands of the Terrans. This has long been a well-established fact. ”
"Oh, yes? Well, I really do. ”
Before the Demon Grand Duke could roar again, the Grand Duke of the Blood Clan had already cut off the picture, and the Werewolf Grand Duke who was left to the side seemed to hesitate, and the image belonging to him turned black. The Demon Grand Duke's anger had nowhere to go, and with a thud, the seat beneath him turned in half.
And the Grand Duke of the Blood Clan stared at the empty receiver in front of him and said, "Idiot, it's a pity that it's not stupid enough." After pondering for a while, he muttered to himself, "The spider demon has also changed its formation, hey, interesting! Those guys are rarely smart, but the result is no different." ”
The ships in the rear of the Eternal Night Fleet began to turn around and withdraw from the battlefield, then the center, and finally the three Grand Duke ships slowly retreated at the same time, until they were close enough distance from Valhalla before turning to evacuate.
When the last of the Eternal Night ships disappeared from view, a tsunami of cheers erupted from every ship of the Empire.
It was the most glorious victory of the Imperial fleet in ten years. At the cost of only one battleship and more than a dozen warships, the empire completely annihilated two Grand Duke fleets, not only destroying their ships, but also besieging one Archduke of the Spider Demon and severely damaging the other.
Although few people really understood the power of Thousand Nights' final blow, it was possible to imagine the damage it had caused from the Archduke's roar of fear rather than anger.
As soon as the reinforcements of the Eternal Night retreated, control of the battlefield was in the hands of the Empire. Many of the ships of the eternal night that could not escape were only severely damaged rather than burned, and there were many living dark warriors inside. The harvest of clearing the battlefield alone can allow the empire to make up for nearly half of the battle losses. And those who were captured were not ordinary fighters, they were all experienced crews. This is another blow to the Eternal Night faction.
The Eternal Night Combined Fleet was forced to retreat, which also meant that the control of the floating land and outer air during this period officially fell into the hands of the Empire. Judging from the past situation, if the losses of the two Grand Duke fleets are to be fully compensated, even if the Eternal Night Council comes forward, it will take at least a year. Relying on the spider demon alone, I'm afraid it will take years to recover. In other words, this great victory won the empire control of outer space for nearly a year.
The losses of the Imperial fleet were negligible compared to the huge results, and it was a complete victory in every sense of the word.
Being able to win a complete victory, of course, is inseparable from the decisive assault of the right minister. At the beginning of the battle, the suicide attack of the Imperial flagship stunned the Eternal Night Fleet, and the conventional formation fought against the water, laying the groundwork for the quick defeat that followed. Otherwise, as long as there is a slight delay, the Eternal Night Rescue Fleet will arrive on the battlefield, and it will be impossible to completely annihilate the two Grand Dukes' fleets.
However, the real key to victory is Valhalla. If Valhalla hadn't come out of nowhere and destroyed two Grand Duke ships in one fell swoop, the Imperial fleet would have been forced to retreat. At that time, the two Grand Duke warships were intact, and most of the fleet's combat strength was preserved, so what was the use of the empire just destroying some small and medium-sized warships?
Thinking of this section, many soldiers have complicated hearts, especially the grievances between Qianye and the Empire have long been known, and they still come to help the war at this time, and turn the tide of the war with their own strength, which makes people unable to say what they feel in their hearts.
At this moment, Valhalla swung and leaped into the depths of the void, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
The two commanders of the Praetorian Fleet saw Valhalla go away, and they both looked to the right. They shifted their positions slightly, and were faintly between the Right Aspect and Valhalla. It is difficult for ordinary people to know the mysteries of the upper echelons, but with their status, they can keep secrets, and naturally know that the factions in the military department that really have enmity with Qianye are actually most of the people on the right.
The right minister looked at them, then looked at Valhalla, which was quietly far away, and said lightly: "It seems that he doesn't want to meet us." It's good to save embarrassment. ”
He looked at the expressions of the two Praetorian Fleet commanders again, suddenly smiled, and said, "In today's battle, the empire accepts his affection, the Praetorian Fleet accepts his affection, and I also accept his affection." This kind of thing is good if you know it in your heart, so why bother to say it explicitly? Now that the situation is changing, if you have a heart, there will always be a time to pay off. ”
As soon as the right minister said this, the faces of the two commanders looked much better.
The right minister said again: "This battle is over, and it is time for me to unload my burden." From this moment on, the authority of the commander-in-chief of the fleet was handed over to the two. ”
The two commanders were stunned, "Why is this? This battle is not over yet, and it will not be finished until the battlefield is cleared and the First Fleet is merged." Moreover, your position as the head coach of the striker was personally appointed by His Majesty, so how can you accept it privately?"
The right minister smiled slightly and said, "Let's talk about it when we go back to the ship, and in addition, send someone to invite Song Zining." Qianye didn't want to see me, but he was always willing to come. ”
Moments later, on the new flagship, the top of the entire forward fleet was in line. The main seat is naturally sitting on the right, and on both sides are the two god commanders of the Praetorian Fleet, and then Song Zining. This position can be described as extremely grand, surpassing a group of elderly generals in the army, but no one is dissatisfied.
The right minister looked around and said slowly: "This battle is a big victory, it can be said that the foundation of the floating land battle was laid in one fell swoop, and the empire may start with this." However, there is still a long way to go, and we are only laying the first brick and stone for this, and what the future holds, it remains to be done for you to work together to contribute to the prosperity of the empire and the survival of the human race. ”
The generals got up together and said in unison: "I deserve to die!"
The right minister pressed his hands weakly, asked the generals to sit down, and said: "The credit for this battle should be the first of Qianye and Song Zining's Dark Fire Legion, I don't know if you think so?"
The generals are not blind, they have just seen clearly, and they will not have any objections.
Song Zining sat still, his expression unchanged, and waited for the following. Generally speaking, after the right minister has said this, there must be the following. Song Zining wanted to see what his plans were, as he clearly wanted to go to the battlefield to get credit, to give away his big head.
The right minister said: "This battle is over, and the burden of my forward coach can be handed over." Then there are all kinds of trivial matters, and I have to bother the two commanders. I've got a floating ship ready for the floating land. I'm ashamed to say that the rear is where I'm good at. ”
Speaking of this, he paused and said: "Actually, I also have a little selfish heart in this battle, just to let the world know that I am not greedy for life and afraid of death. And even though I am a civilian, I also know a little about military affairs. ”
When these words came out, all the generals nodded secretly, and even Song Zining had to admit that no matter whether he was brave or commanding, he couldn't find anything wrong with the right minister in this battle, and even his luck was good.
When he saw each other, he smiled and said, "Okay, I'm done, I'll go." ”
After that, he ignored the generals and left the table. A moment later, a high-speed destroyer left the fleet and flew to the land.
Even Song Zining was a little stunned, he just left? Could it be that the right minister really didn't have any selfish intentions this time?
By the time the battlefield was cleared, the First Fleet of the Imperial Praetorian Guard had also arrived and merged with the Forward Fleet. Song Zining left with a few warships belonging to the dark fire, and went to join Qianye, waiting for the arrival of the follow-up troop fleet.
The Imperial Praetorian Fleet was to be deployed immediately, patrolling the entire floating land, continuing to strike and drive away the remnants of the Eternal Night Fleet, clearing the way for the next ground attack. When control of outer space is basically in hand, Darkfire can set off and land behind the eternal night.
In the depths of the void, Song Zining rushed to the predetermined assembly point and joined the Valhalla, which had been waiting here for a long time. When Qianye walked into the combat command room of the battle patrol, he saw Song Zining standing in front of the floating land map, contemplating and pondering.
The map is densely packed with various markers, and the average person will feel dizzy after a few glances. And Song Zining thought about it for a while, and would add a few more strokes to it.
Qianye didn't bother him, just stood by and watched, and gradually saw the doorway. This is another version of the floating land battle, which is the same as Lin Xitang's main point, but there are many differences in the details, which can be said to be Song Zining's version of the floating land plan. Both versions of the plan used the same forces and resources mobilized, while the offensive ideas differed substantially.
However, this version of the plan is still being developed, at most it is in the middle game, and Lin Xitang has drawn up a plan even in the late stage, which is already a very complete battle plan.
After moving the two troops, Song Zining began to frown and think hard, unable to make a decision for a long time.
The more Qianye looked, the more fascinated he became, and he had long forgotten the time. Song Zining encountered a problem and was silent. And so they stood until evening.
Qianye suddenly remembered something, and said, "What about the Heavenly King?"
In this version of the plan, there is no factor of the Great King and Heavenly King, and there is no existence of them at all on the entire military map.
