Chapter 114: Key Figures
Thirteen hours after the Battle of the Thousand Plains Defense.
The two armies of the Duchy of Xiyao and the Plate Federation arrived at the predetermined position an hour ago, but the swarm had already prepared for this, and a second-level brood led two first-level broods, 17 million ship insects, and 180 million space insects to snipe.
The reinforcements of the two armies were thus stopped, although the wielding side was desperately moving forward, and all the planetary weapon platforms in the entire northwest star region had completed the chrono-temporal strike setting and started to support the astro-temporal fire, but even so, it was estimated that within twenty-three hours, it would be impossible to break through the resistance of the swarm.
However, the fleets of the two armies still shared nearly half of the defensive pressure for the Thousand Domains Plain, especially after the planetary weapon platform in the northwest star region finally completed the long time and space strike setting, and the unprecedented fire support greatly reduced the pressure on the entire defense line.
Under normal circumstances, the swarm should have considered retreating when it was surrounded like this, but this time the swarm was determined to take the Thousand Domains Plain, and they continued to advance forward, withstanding heavier and heavier space-time firepower, exchanging huge casualties for advancing space.
Now the entire defense line of the Thousand Domains Plain has been broken through to the last line of defense, and the entire defense line has been completely compressed to the point of only three astronomical units.
The losses of the defense fleet began to increase in half an hour, even a famous defense general like Guangwei could not do much in such a situation, after all, the number compared to the insect swarm has never been the strength of human beings, and the defense line of the Thousand Domains Plain is a defense line that has only been built for a month, and it cannot be compared with the main defense line that has been operating for dozens or hundreds of years.
"General. We should send a special ship!" Isaac proposed to Guangwei for the third time.
The White Yama is an arrogant and irascible fellow. But in the face of a generation of famous players. In the face of the military gods of the Easterners, in the face of the current battlefield situation, Isaac still maintains the respect of a subordinate for the commander-in-chief. However, he was not an ordinary soldier after all, and he was already a little impatient when he proposed it for the third time.
"Commander Isaac, you have to understand that the special ships are our last resort, and there will be huge losses. And this loss is far more far-reaching than the other losses of personnel and equipment!" Guangwei did not have any resentment about Isaac's impatience. Rather, it is patiently explained.
"General, I heard Xiao Ming say that you Orientals have a saying, the brave wins when you meet on a narrow road. Whether it's my Dragon King mercenary group or the Academy Army of Heaven Star, each and every one of them is a qualified warrior. Everyone who is ordered to conduct a special operation knows what situation they are facing, and they know what kind of outcome they will usher in!"
Isaac reveals a mouthful of teeth: "Death is never something we fear. Obviously having power but not being able to use it is what we are most afraid of!"
"Well, I will order the special ships of the first battalion to make an attack, if ...... Major General Isaac. Please understand that if the expected goals are not achieved. I'm not going to send special ships again. The students cultivated by the Heavenly Star are the future of mankind and should not be sacrificed on the senseless battlefield!" Guang Wei said solemnly.
"Hah, no problem. I won't let you down, General!" Isaac cheered like a child, and was already shouting in his communication channel, "Little cubs, it's time for you to show off your skills. If you don't do well enough, you'll never get a chance. I think you know how to do it!"
There was a burst of cheers throughout the special communication channel, followed by a chorus of responses.
"General, is that group really okay? Most of them are just children! After all, the special elite like Team Zero is a minority!" The adjutant beside Guangwei couldn't help but be a little worried.
"But they're still warriors. Since the academy army has specially proposed the role of specially equipped ships, it is time to use them at this time! Our defense line can no longer be retreated. Taking a step back, the Captive Hive and the Thousand Domains Plain itself would be within the direct strike range of the swarm, and then our defensive purpose would be considered a failure. Guangwei couldn't help but sigh.
"We can't afford to fail, you should understand that this is a mission that cannot be flinched!"
Yes, the collapse of the defense line of the Thousand Domains Plain itself does not affect the stability of the defense line of the entire Northwest Star Sector, and the Northwest Star Region still has enough strategic depth to defend without it. But the captive brood and the Plains of the Thousand Domains have a different meaning.
One is the only captive nest in the 2,000-year history of human warfare against insects, and its research is of great significance. The other is the place where the Worm King's seal has been confirmed.
If the former is destroyed, then if humans want to capture a brood, who knows how many years it will take? If the latter is destroyed and the insect king is released, then anyone with an IQ higher than the table knows what this means to mankind.
But neither of them can be moved.
Although it is still possible for these two to move through sufficient means, such as coordinate engines, etc., the speed is not about the same as in the cosmic environment. Especially the latter, the speed of less than ten kilometers per day is simply negligible.
And the former itself is dragged by the fleet, and it still has a good speed, but that refers to the state of the previous brood, after Xiao Ming left, the brood underwent a series of changes, in addition to guiding the spatial leap of the insect swarm, it also carried out spatial anchoring.
In the case of space anchoring, the movement of this captive brood will be worse than that of the Thousand Domains Plain - not that it cannot be moved, but with the current technology of human beings, forcibly moving will destroy the brood.
Now the top brass of the human side regrets and rejoices. I regret that due to political reasons, I had to put this captive brood in an awkward position of defense, so that I couldn't defend my line and couldn't achieve the best effect. Thankfully, they didn't, otherwise it would have been an even greater disaster if they had jumped into an important position by the swarm in this special way.
Now the only requirement of the human high-level for the defense line of the Thousand Domains Plain is to persevere, and persist until Xiao Ming's return. Let's see if we can do something after Xiao Ming's return.
It is ridiculous to say that such a large-scale battle, such a far-reaching significance, and even a battle that will affect the future of mankind to some extent, the final key core is an eighteen-year-old boy. (To be continued.) )
