"Bastard, how did that civilization come about?"

"Why is there an eighth-order civilization within the Savage Supergalaxy Group, and we don't know about it?"

"Is it true that the Silvertox Federation is ready to do it?"

......

In the room, the five elders of the Silver Light Empire were furious when they learned that the Federation had invaded the Empire's sphere of influence.

But there is really no good way to be angry.

Almost all of the fleets on the mainland are deployed on the front lines, and the same is true for the subordinate civilizations under their command.

Even if the military-industrial system is fully activated, the new warships produced will be sent to the front line one by one.

In this case, the rear is already completely empty.

That's right, the affiliated civilizations, including the Silver Light Empire itself, naturally have quite a few non-main fleets.

But the problem is that these fleets are not even a third-tier fleet, so it's okay to keep the sea lanes in peacetime, or clear up the interstellar pirates or something...

But if you want to deal with an eighth-order civilization that is serious, then it's better to wash and sleep!

"What now?"

"I suggest that the security fleets of the affiliated civilizations be gathered, not to be defeated, just to be delayed!"

"I also agree, the fleet at the front cannot be drawn out under any circumstances!"

"That's right, the front line is already tight, and if it is transferred, I am afraid it will cause a big problem!"

"Mt. Hiltost Federation... This is a beautiful hand!

”

"That's it, first mobilize all the affiliated civilizations, gather those security fleets, anti-piracy fleets and the like, all of them, tens of billions shouldn't be a problem, let them drag it first!"

Soon, all the elders were unanimous.

For the time being, instead of mobilizing the guards to protect the imperial capital and the empire's own garrison fleet, let the subordinate civilizations concentrate the remaining forces and delay them first.

This is almost the same as Jiang Xingchen's initial speculation.

But the subsequent development once again exceeded everyone's expectations.

------

608 years in the New Federal Calendar.

With the Pioneer Fleet as the leader and the other 117 constellation-class warships, the Federation spent five months destroying the Empire's affiliated civilization fleet.

Originally, the five elders of the empire could delay it for 2-3 years.

But the result?

It's only been five months!

After taking down the two superclusters, the Federation did not stop as everyone else thought, firmly occupying the position, and deploying defensive lines in case the Empire counterattacked.

But...

After a moment's pause, he directly entered the Wellster Supercluster.

As for the Welster Supercluster, the Federation only left a billion subordinate civilization warships to clean up and guard.

Guarding what?

Naturally, there are hundreds of billions of civilian ships that follow in the rear, used to deploy the mezzanine canopy.

Anyway, the components of the mezzanine canopy can only be placed on the corresponding coordinates, and there is no need for more complex operations.

Therefore, as long as the size of the cargo compartment of a civilian spacecraft reaches the standard, it can be competent for this job.

And all this, because of the Federation's strong attack on the Wellster Supercluster, was ignored by everyone.

------

For the Federation's invasion of the Wellster Supercluster, the five elders of the empire were naturally unbearable.

You said that you didn't forget about the two super galaxy clusters before you fought, anyway, they are affiliated civilizations, and our empire will recognize them during the special period, and it will be good to fight back after this battle is over.

But where is the Wellster Supercluster?

This is the native of the Silver Light Empire, can this be endured?

Soon, the order was given.

The 200,000 Praetorian Guard fleet guarding the imperial capital was divided into half.

Then the garrison fleets of the districts were urgently mobilized.

Set off and go to destroy the invaders!

This is a bit of a test for the Federation.

Although most of them are the third-line fleets of the empire, the 100,000 Praetorian warships guarding the imperial capital are properly the first-line combat power.

Moreover, even if it is the security fleet of each administrative region, it is also a third-line fleet of a ninth-order civilization, and it will not be much weaker than the current pioneer fleet of the Federation.

For the Federation, the only advantage is probably the quantity.

Speaking of which, almost all the wars of the Federation were carried out on the premise that they had a qualitative advantage and the other side had a quantitative advantage.

But this time, it's completely reversed.

Of course, Jiang Xingchen wouldn't really fight the Imperial Fleet here for two or three years in order to gain time.

After all, that's not his style.

As a result, the civilizations that paid attention to the battlefield soon discovered that the Federation fleet retreated again and again, and it looked like it was a bit of a rout.

But there are also many civilizations that have noticed that although the Federation fleet has been retreating, the losses are not large.

Obviously, this is extremely abnormal.

However, even if they were to notice this, no civilization would go out of their way to warn the Silverlight Empire.

Isn't he fragrant when he watches the play quietly?

A few months later, the Federation had pushed all the way to the edge of the Willster Supercluster, and all the galaxies that had been laid down along the way had been returned when the Empire had not reacted.

Retreat!

Then you have to go back to the Serpent-Centauri Supercluster, or the Peacock-Indian Supercluster.

------

"Commander-in-Chief, you're ready!"

"Act as planned!"

"Yes, Commander-in-Chief!"

Finally, the Federation army, which had no choice but to start an ultra-long-distance voyage, retreated to the supergroup of galaxies in the rear.

However, will the Empire, on its part, be content to just push it back?

No, they want to give the Federation a little color, so that everyone knows what will happen if they provoke a ninth-order civilization.

So, when the Federation withdrew from the Verster Supercluster, the Imperial fleet immediately caught up.

------

More than ten days later.

Serpent-Centauri Supercluster, periphery.

As the hyperspace windows opened, countless Federation warships arrived.

There are billions of them.

And then, it didn't take long.

A large number of hyperspace windows have opened, and a larger number of Imperial fleets have also arrived here.

Between the two sides...

It's less than a hundred light-seconds away.

That's already within range.

Soon, the scene of the Wellster Supercluster for several months happened again.

The Federation fleet retreated and returned fire.

The Imperial Fleet, on the other hand, is pursuing and frantically outputting at the same time.

Every second, a large number of Federation warships are destroyed, although most of them are warships of affiliated civilizations.

An hour later.

"Commander-in-Chief, 87% of the target's fleet has entered the trap!"

"Waiting!"

"Yes!"

On the three-dimensional star map, a range is depicted, as if two walls were erected on the periphery of the galaxy, and the distance between the two walls is 1000 light seconds.

At this moment, most of the Imperial fleet had already passed through the first wall and entered the range between the two walls.

Over time, more and more fleets have entered it.

And by the time the battleship at the front was about to break through the second wall, the figure displayed on the side had reached 99.7%.

"Do it!"

"Yes, Commander-in-Chief!"

For several months, the mezzanine canopy, which had been prioritized here, was activated in an instant.

As the interlayer is formed, a large number of foreign particles are extracted and filled by these special modules.

Just a few seconds later.

The rules within the mezzanine have become completely different.

No system will work anymore.

All the warships, as if paralyzed at the moment, stayed there motionless.

Although none of the people on these ships died, it would not be too long before they died.

Because, too, the life-sustaining system is not functional.

Even if you want to put on a warframe and rely on the system on it to make a living, you will find...

The various systems on the Warframe are also unusable.

After all, the rules in the mezzanine are completely different from those outside the mezzanine, and the scientific and technological system established by relying on the rules outside the mezzanine is meaningless in the mezzanine.

So, the mezzanine canopy can not only be used to deter the other party from invading, but in special cases...

It can also be a great killer to annihilate the enemy!

Next, as long as the Federation no longer attacks the Wellster Supercluster, I believe that the Empire will not take the initiative to rush over to find trouble.

Because, they don't have any more troops.

As for whether to take advantage of this opportunity to invade the empire on a large scale, cut off all its military production and supply channels, and help the Salttost Federation quickly win this war?

Jiang Xingchen's brain is not pitted!

Next, the Federation, like other civilizations, should be a quiet spectator!
