Less than two minutes of sneak attack.

plus the nearly ten-hour interception battle that followed.

In the final statistics of the two-stage battle, a total of 21 princes, 628 insect group leaders, and 48,779 insect group leaders were killed.

Of course, while this may seem like a lot, in reality, the Prince only counts less than 20% of the total.

And the leader of the insect group and the leader of the swarm are less than 5% of the total.

Therefore, the strength of the Starry Sky Zerg has not suffered too serious losses.

However, Ayinsha can not care about the number of deaths of the swarm and the leader of the bug group, but the death of the 21 princes...

But it still hurts her.

At the same time, after Jiang Xingchen's wave of battles, Ayinsha, who was already preparing to order a general attack, had to stop.

After all, she has more important things to solve now, and that is...

Redeploy forces to prevent further sneak attacks.

Until 10 days later...

------

"How's the situation at the front?"

"Commander, all 600,000 combined warships have been deployed in place, and the newly arrived 150,000 combined warships are also ready to support any defense area as a reserve."

"Where is Duan Xingke's location?"

"Arrived at the designated location an hour later, just..."

After Ling Xiao reported, he suddenly showed a trace of worry.

"Are you worried about whether the mercenary fleet of the affiliated civilization alone can stop the Starry Sky Zerg?"

"Yes, after all, the combined battleship Type I does not have a space shield, and its attack power is much weaker than that of the Pangu class, once the Zerg launches an offensive with all its might, it is really not sure that it can be blocked."

"Don't worry, they don't need to last long, they can have a few hours, it's enough!"

Patting Ling Xiao's shoulder, Jiang Xingchen said.

That's right, now the Pioneer Fleet, except for the direct fleet, and the elven fleet stayed here to protect the Kaitian, the other four legions are long gone, but quietly left according to their assigned tasks.

The comprehensive combat power of 120,000 Pangu-class warships can be at least equivalent to 1.2 million Joint I warships, which is not an exaggeration at all.

After all, as Ling Xiao said, there is no space shield on the United I type battleship, let alone a zero-point energy module, and even those space weapons are castrated versions.

Therefore, the departure of the four legions also means that the combat strength in the federal-controlled area has directly dropped by at least sixty percent.

Obviously, relying on these combined warships alone, it is not a big problem to fight against the lower third-order zerg, but if you want to fight with the upper third-order...

It must have been almost funny.

"Report, the Zerg are starting to march!"

At this moment, a report suddenly sounded in the bridge.

It made everyone nervous.

Ten days...

The Zerg has finally begun to act, and the decisive battle between humans and insects is about to begin.

"Give me a real-time model of the global battlefield!"

"Yes, Commander!"

The next moment, a huge three-dimensional star map, in the form of a virtual projection, appeared in the bridge.

A small number of these areas are blue, representing areas currently under federal control.

And the rest of the more than 90% of the places are all red.

Not only is it much larger than the Federation, but the most important thing is that the blue area is very empty, and there are defensive lines on the edge, as well as internal reserves, as well as the Kaitian Battle Star and two fleets.

The red part, on the other hand, is completely stuffed, with almost no gaps.

The difference in strength between the two sides has directly reached more than a million times.

This is still calculated by the number of federal soldiers, and if it is calculated by the number of warships, this multiple is afraid that it will be "100 million" as a unit.

At this moment, the countless red dots in the Zerg control area had already entered the buffer zone a hundred light-years wide between the two sides.

Of course, although the Zerg have begun to march, the battle has not yet started so quickly.

Because the width of the buffer zone is 100 light years, and the speed of the Zerg's march is only ten light years per jump, and they have to stop and recover for a while after each jump.

According to estimates, it should be 197 minutes before the two sides begin to make contact.

"On the side of the front-line subordinate civilization, how is the morale?"

"This... In some ways, morale is higher than that of our Federation soldiers, right? ”

"What?"

asked casually, but got an unexpected answer, and Jiang Xingchen was also slightly stunned.

After all, during this period of time, he has also figured out Ling Xiao's character, and this guy will never lie.

In fact, Jiang Xingchen didn't need the morale of these subordinate civilizations to be strong, and their task was only to withstand the Zerg attack for 2,3 hours.

That's it...

But Ling Xiao said that in some ways, their morale was stronger than that of the Federation.

It's kind of weird.

"Commander, I've made a point to find out about this situation."

"Oh? How so? ”

"Actually, for our Federation, even if there is an accident in the battle of the Magellanic Galaxy, it will not endanger the entire Federation, after all, the Zerg cannot cross the galaxy, and the big deal is to wait until it is stronger, and then go back and clean up these bugs."

Hearing this, Jiang Xingchen also nodded.

Although Ling Xiao's statement is not very good, it is indeed true.

Moreover, the original plan of the military department was to immediately withdraw all fleets from the Magellanic system as soon as the situation of the battle changed uncontrollably...

Leave it to be resolved later.

"But Commander, the meaning of this battle is completely different for those affiliated civilizations."

"I kind of understand what you mean, for their respective civilizations, this battle will be the key to laying the foundation for the future strength of these civilizations!"

"That's right, don't we humans have an old saying that one step is faster, one step at a time, so there is only one thing that these affiliated civilization fleets are thinking about now, that is, for the future of their own civilization, to obtain more combat exploits, even if they all die here, they will not hesitate!

”

Jiang Xingchen also understood what this meant.

Even if they put the Federation in their place, they would probably make the same choice.

After all, the more exploits you earn, the more points your civilization will earn.

And the more points you have, the more technology you can get, more living space, more ships, and so on.

If you do fish, you will probably end up with far fewer victories than other civilizations.

So, the next time the Federation expands externally, and then brings these affiliated civilization fleets...

At that time, you will only have 10,000 warships, but other civilizations will have tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands.

At that time, even if you wake up and want to earn military merits desperately, the military merits you can obtain with 10,000 warships can be compared to the tens of thousands of warships of other civilizations?

So, the first time is the most important.

Ling Xiao is right, one step is faster!

At the moment, on this battlefield...

All the soldiers from the affiliated civilizations, all with red eyes and gritted teeth, are waiting for the war to begin.

In their eyes, the Zerg is no longer the terrifying creature, but a meritorious faction that can move, and whoever grabs it is whoever grabs it.

Therefore, from some perspectives, at this moment, they are more fearless than most of the soldiers of the Federation, and they are more eager for the coming of war.

All...

It's all for the glory of their own civilization, and for the future!

------

Three hours later.

When the Zerg at the top of the group have completed the last jump...

"Command the whole army, meet the attack!"

"Yes, Commander!"
