The first duel between light and darkness officially broke out, and the two ship groups began to hedge under the command of the two gods of mechanical thinking.

For human civilization in the galaxy, this is just a high-intensity and high-intensity war that broke out in the region, and many truths will be buried under history.

Although the history of the galaxy is not written by the victors, but by the high-dimensional civilizations;

But the high-dimensional civilization also seems to be hiding something.

So much so that when the latecomers of the four major political systems involved in the war look at this history, they can only find some vague fragments in some key information.

In the galactic literary classic "The Fall of Empires", the war is summed up like this:

[When the Falling Wind Empire announced its restructuring and independence, the rulers of the empire did not feel threatened by this polity.

What threat can such a country have? Twenty years ago, it was only one of many vassals of the Empire, but it was slightly larger, could supply the Empire with more silver, and was still a standard victim of the Emperor's Replacement Plan.

But under the nose of the empire, they formed a regional alliance, and in the early evaluation of the empire, they felt that this alliance was harmless.

The wise Emperor of the Falling Wind, Edwang, and the much-praised Queen of the Falling Wind, Emilia, planned everything, designed everything, and they built a coffin with their own hands, burying the glory of the Sherman family for tens of thousands of years.

If you want to divide the fall of the empire into several landmark events, in order of importance, it should be - the Battle of Xie Luo, the Ghost Uprising.

Yes, the importance of the Battle of Xie Luo should be ranked before the Ghost Uprising.

It was a war that hit the Sherman Empire multiple angles.

Since this war, the empire has shifted from external superiority to active defense, and the free and democratic camps of the galaxy have begun a mighty anti-imperial crusade.

And how exactly was this war lost...... We're sorry, but our team only found a few words of depiction in the old database of the Imperial military, and all other data has been deleted.

These depictions are of dialogue, presumably shouts from several captains to the command:

"Damn it! They bumped into us! We must withdraw from this war! ”

"Bugs! They're bugs! This is the tactics of bugs! ”

"Damn it! The Levy ship regiment was overwhelmed by a swarm of drones! We're going to do something! We're going to support the Levy Ship Regiment! ”

That's all there is to the data on this war. 】

Latecomers may be intrigued by this summary and want to get a glimpse of more information, mostly referring to the best-selling book published in the later years of a war witness.

"The Last Legend of the Empire - Memoirs of Revell".

The description of the battle of Xie Luo is the most detailed of all the written carriers that have been circulated.

In his book, Revell writes:

[That's the Levy Ship Regiment, the most powerful and invincible ship group, the reason why the Empire is called the Evil Empire, eighty percent of the reason needs to be attributed to the existence of the Levy Ship Regiment.

When I learned of the arrival of the Levy Regiment, my tense spirit finally relaxed.

It's simple - if even the Levy can't defeat the Downwind Alliance, then what tricks do we have at our disposal? Will the Levy Ship Regiment lose? The likelihood of this is almost zero, the course of this extremely high-intensity war has changed, and our noble fleets that have been brought in are of little use.

The rest of the story, everyone knows, the empire actually lost this war.

I fell asleep and fell unconscious from the shock of the explosion, and when I woke up again, my ship was alone in a starry sky, with a meteorite belt in the distance and the wreckage of the starship was strewn all over it.

When I found the staff officer assigned to me by the military headquarters, he was sitting outside the door of the medical cabin, leaning against the wall, his eyes full of vacancy, and he had lost the ability to respond to the outside world.

When I asked him, did we win?

He nodded numbly, then shook his head again, as strong as he was, and suddenly held his head and whimpered. - As I shared in the previous story, he is an extremely strong, battle-hardened officer, but this war is indeed beyond the limits of what humans can bear.

The rest of the war was told to me orally by him, or reported to me.

The mysterious fleet belonging to the Falling Wind Alliance changed everything.

Halfway through my sleep, the war was in full swing and there was no dialogue between the two sides, because the first two wars had suffered so many casualties that there was no longer any need for conversation.

Our tactical arrangement is to separate the invincible Levy ship regiment from the regular ship regiment and open up three battlefields: upper, middle and lower; The opponent's tactical arrangement is to use their mysterious fleet and conventional ship regiments to blend and open up three battlefields on the left, middle and right.

Then, under the tough attitude of the commanders on both sides, the battlefield became nine, like a nine-square grid.

The density of ships on both sides is not too high, as both sides have amazing strategic weapons - planetary guns and dreadnoughts.

Then, there was a head-to-head bombardment that lasted for six galaxies.

Every battlefield was chaotic, but the battle loss ratio of the warships on both sides was always close to '1'.

This is a contest of wills, and whoever has a cowardly mood and the battle formation is shaken, whose battle line will collapse directly.

The soldiers of the United States of the Free States and the Güell Alliance have a strong will to fight, they are professional troops.

For the third time, the ragtag army of the Falling Wind Alliance was shocking, they united for a certain belief, and burst out with the will to fight that was not inferior to the soldiers of the four great powers.

On the surface, the battlefield continues to be scorched, but in the eyes of the Güell League and the United States of Liberty leadership, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

Why?

Quite simply, because four of these nine battlefields belong to the Levy Fleet and the Falling Wind Mystery Fleet, two extremely powerful fleets that crush the armies of other polities, and the battle loss ratio is infinitely close to one to one.

This is a scene that has never occurred in the tens of thousands of years of history of the empire.

According to what I heard later, the two major governments at this time were fully convinced that the high-dimensional civilization that controlled the galaxy had abandoned the Sherman Empire, and the Falling Wind Alliance was the lucky one chosen by the high-dimensional civilization.

They will definitely complain - why didn't the high-dimensional civilization choose us?

In fact, the high-dimensional civilization does not have any clear attitude and instructions in this war, everything stems from the psychological offensive launched by my idol, Mr. White Ghost.

Equalization with the Levy Ship Regiment is a huge advantage.

The top brass of the two families chose to believe in the Fayas, and they began to take out the troops hidden nearby, and continue to fill the huge furnace like dry wood.

The scale of the war began to spiral out of control.

The Reich also had to keep the reserves forward, and squeeze out new reserves in the basic defense forces in the rear to go to the top of the front line.

At the height of the Battle of Xie Luo, the Imperial Military Department had suggested to the Sherman family to withdraw the expeditionary force of the New Federation and fully support the Battle of Xie Luo, and at this time, the New Federation, which had been cowering, suddenly launched a full-scale counterattack against the Imperial Expeditionary Force.

It's a real counter-offensive, and those hypocritical Federans take on their ferocious appearance as interstellar pirates and engage in a fierce battle with the Imperial Expeditionary Force.

Of course, the result of the fierce battle was that the Imperial Expeditionary Force with the blessing of a small number of Levy ship regiments taught the New Federation a hard lesson.

It was this victory of the Empire in the new Federation that kept the Empire from being completely passive.

Let's go back to the Battle of Shero.

Six galactic hours into the battle, the first 13,000 ships sent by the Levy Fleet lost 35 percent, which was comparable to the loss of the Mysterious Fleet.

At this time, a detail appeared, and this detail determined the course of the war.

A banner suddenly appeared over the mysterious fleet: We will launch a suicide attack on your unit.

Then, thousands of warships synchronously accelerated their dash, locking on the remaining Levy ship regiments.

At this time, the reinforcements of both sides were still in the rear and did not move forward, and the remaining energy of the remaining ships of the mysterious fleet and the Levy ship group was not much, but the ships of the Falling Wind Mysterious Fleet showed shocking performance, which is also the project that all countries are tackling now - super explosive negative energy engine.

It is the regret of my life to miss that scene, and I can only paint that scene for you through the dictation of my chief of staff and soldiers.

The first is the overwhelming swarm of drones, tens of millions of drones continue to bomb us, and the number of drones on the other side is increasing, successfully holding back our retreat path.

At the same time, the fleets of the Falling Wind Alliance, the Güell Alliance, and the United States of the Free States began to cover our fleet with full firepower, and they seemed to be crazy, filling the main cannon with all their energy, and the precious self-propelled planetary cannon fought with the risk of self-destruction, and opened fire in advance, just to cover the ships of the mysterious fleet.

My staff officer said...... It was a starry purgatory.

The two sides were originally in a melee, and the mysterious fleet rushed into our battle formation at a speed close to sub-light, and about fifty percent of the silver-white ships in the field entered the formation of the Levy ship regiment under the cover of the drone swarm, and thirty percent of the silver-white ships entered the cover range of our regular ship group.

The explosion began.

We didn't know exactly how this technology came about, but there were huge balls of light all over the battlefield, like supernova explosions, like helium flashes of stars. Later, I learned that it was the super-explosive negative energy engine of these ships, which had an energy output comparable to that of positive and antimatter annihilation.

This is an extremely exaggerated way of thinking, they made the ship itself into a superbomb.

They simply don't think about our habitual way of thinking - using tactics and tactics to effectively destroy the enemy and try to preserve themselves.

It seems that the purpose of the birth of these mysterious fleets is to die together with the invincible Levy ship group of the Sherman Empire today.

Half of the battle was emptied, and for them, the explosion also caused some accidental damage, but they had the overall advantage in the overall battle, and they launched a final strangulation against us.

As the reserves in the rear of the Empire, as well as more of the Levi fleet, began to jump, countless silver-white warships appeared behind the Falling Wind Alliance.

The good news is that they're still far away.

The bad news is that they are on par with the Levy regiment.

The losses of the empire are already too great for us to bear; And the excited United States of Free States and the Güell alliance are already about to take advantage of the situation to launch a counteroffensive against the Sherman Empire, and their politicians are already chanting slogans such as entering Sherman and liberating Sherman.

Throughout the history of the Empire, the Empire has suffered heavy losses in its regular military power, and within tens of thousands of years the Empire has suppressed dozens of governments that have attempted to challenge their supremacy, some of which are even more powerful than the New Federation at its peak.

But in the history of the empire, there has never been a case of heavy losses of the Levy ship regiment.

At this time, we realized a terrible fact - the Levy ship group is a semi-permanent ship group, and there are few production lines in the empire that can produce semi-permanent materials, which are the crystallization of tens of thousands of years of condensation in the empire, and it is a near-non-renewable resource.

In the current situation, especially until the Imperial military industry is fully operational and producing sufficient production, no further Levy Regiment's ships are allowed to be destroyed.

We can only retreat, retreat in disgrace.

The empire lost 13,000 Levy regiments, 21,000 conventional warships, and nearly 80 million dead and wounded soldiers.

Of course, the Güell Union and the United States of America also suffered heavy losses.

In this war, there is only one winner, and that is the Falling Wind Alliance.

Their formidable mysterious ship has become a new deterrent, officially codenamed Mystery.

Their mysterious ships are as numerous as the Sherman Empire's Levy Fleet, and they don't hesitate to resort to suicide tactics.

After this battle, the military strength of the Falling Wind Alliance was ranked among the top five in the galaxy, and dozens of surrounding governments sent requests to join the alliance one after another; However, the arrogant Falling Wind Alliance closed its doors, and the vetting of member countries became extremely harsh, which also brought more benefits to itself.

These are all ongoing effects of this war.

When the war ended, when I listened to the staff officer's account, my first reaction was not whether the empire could go to the Falling Wind Alliance to find a place again, but whether we could defend ourselves in the next difficult time.

Ninety percent of my family's fleet never made it home.

But I was also lucky that I survived, in my slumber and coma.

It was also the war that touched me so much, the battle of Shelok tore the last fig leaf of this ancient, decaying empire, and we already knew that it was time for us to face the problems that we had been avoiding so far. 】

Next, you might as well look through this treacherous time dimension and return to the moment when the war just ended.

……

After the Sherman Empire retreated on the periphery, the Dark Star Ship Regiments also began to jump.

Instead of being inside the Downwind Alliance, they went straight to the other side of the Downwind Alliance.

When the dust settled, Yang Wei in the command ship was already slumped in his seat.

The law on the side is reporting the attrition of this war.

On the big screen in front of Yang Wei's eyes, tens of thousands of ships of the Dark Star Fleet had completed a continuous jump, arrived at the airspace near the Dark Star Nine Base, and accelerated towards the Dark Star Nine Base.

Yang Wei shouldn't have laughed at this time.

With so many dead people and so many ship regiments, the loss of the Falling Wind Alliance's regular military strength is also extremely huge, but he still can't help laughing, and his smile is relaxed and relieved.

Two-thirds of the tens of thousands of ships in the Dark Star Fleet began to 'collapse' on their own - energy storage drones flew out of the hull, the mass of the ship itself quickly shrank, and the energy stored by the ship itself was exhausted, barely maintaining a constant speed in front of it.

There was nothing wrong with Li's judgment at that time;

Under the explosive development of mechanical civilization, the Dark Star Ship Group is still a few years away from the Levy Ship Group.

Boss Yang climbed out of the seat and took out the "Biography of the Emperor" that had been with him.

The weakness of the character of the Levi and Li combination is that they are too conservative and cautious.

Said in the book.
