Meanwhile, the main fleet of the Agaros Legion, which had just finished warp drive and arrived at its destination, received a message from another of its fleets.
Marshal Agaros looked at the message with a very solemn expression.
He remained silent for a long time.
"My lord? What's wrong?" asked the trusted adjutant beside him with concern.
"The King of the North... is gone."
These few words struck the trusted adjutant like a thunderbolt.
"The Northern King is gone? Could it be that the Northern King was beheaded by the enemy?" The trusted adjutant swallowed hard and asked incredulously.
"No, it's that all 300,000 interstellar warships of the Northern Monarch Legion have been wiped out."
"The King of the North... has also perished." Marshal Agaros said in a deep voice, a look of grief on his face.
The King of the North, as one of the older generation among the original twelve marshals, was a highly respected figure.
Although the Northern Monarch Legion has always had around 300,000 interstellar warships, the difference is huge compared to some demon legions that have as many as a million interstellar warships.
However, it has never been able to shake the position of the Northern King's Legion among the Twelve Demon Legions.
In particular, the personality of the Northern King himself led many demon marshals to befriend him, forming a relationship that was both teacher and friend.
Like, the Red Devil Marshal is gone, the Red Devil Legion is gone.
To most people, it might just be a minor incident.
However, the loss of the Northern King's Legion was a momentous event for the entire demon race!
"This...this...this..." Upon hearing this news, the trusted adjutant was unable to calm his emotions for a long time.
"Report: Suspicious interstellar fleet spotted ahead. Reconnaissance ships have been dispatched to approach and investigate!"
A message came back shortly afterward.
"Report: A suspicious interstellar fleet ahead is our enemy, the Dragon Legion interstellar warships."
There are nearly 50,000 interstellar warships!
Hearing these reports, and then looking at the scattered dots that had already appeared in the radar range.
Fifty thousand Xiaolong interstellar warships faced three hundred thousand Devil interstellar warships.
The difference in troop strength between the two is still quite significant.
"Prepare for battle."
Commanders at all levels are hereby notified that they must not underestimate the Wyvern Legion.
"Since they have the strength to annihilate the Northern Monarch's Legion in a short time, they should not be underestimated!" Marshal Agaros said in a deep voice.
"yes!"
Three hundred thousand Agaros Legion interstellar warships slowed down and began preparing for battle, forming a very cautious battle formation.
In the past, if other high-ranking commanders of the demon legions had seen the Agaros Legion, facing an enemy six times their size, still adopting such a cautious battle formation, it would have been a shock to them.
They'll definitely make fun of them.
But now, with the bones of the Northern Monarch Legion still warm, no one dares to underestimate the Wraith Dragon Legion.
"The enemy seems to be very cautious."
"Three hundred thousand interstellar warships, arrayed in such a battle formation." Commander Su Lan looked at Commander Charlotte on the other end of the video window.
This time, the interception operation was carried out by their two-person Dragon Legion fleet.
Commander Charlotte glanced at the scene for a moment, then said with a hint of helplessness, "The enemy is very cautious; it seems there's no chance of gaining an advantage."
Let's proceed with Plan B.
To delay the enemy's advance with minimal casualties.
At the very least, we can delay the situation until we gain an advantage on other local battlefields, and that would be our victory.
Su Lan, you are in charge of the legion fleets of our two divisions. Unless there is an emergency, you can let me know. Otherwise, you can make your own decisions.
I need to command operations on various local battlefields.
Commander Su Lan nodded slightly, her expression unchanged.
She is no longer the green recruit who just graduated from the Northern Starship Military Academy.
Having been ravaged by war several times.
With the reliable technological foundation of the Dragon-class interstellar warships, she was confident she could face any enemy.
Even if the enemy has six times the number of their warships!
How can we know who will win or lose if we don't even try?
Moreover, this mission is only to delay rather than annihilate, making it much less difficult.
After explaining to Su Lan.
Charlotte was also watching the entire battle intently.
She looked at the interstellar sand table in front of her as if it were a chessboard.
The game mainly consists of three parts.
Two main parts, and one small part.
A small portion of the campaign was a cleanup operation in the Mechanicus system, primarily focused on gathering intelligence on any remaining Mechanicus planets and preserving them as much as possible.
Based on her previous discussions with Commander Zhao Chen.
The best-case scenario is that these mechanical planets can be preserved, based on the intelligence information currently available.
These mechanical planets are essentially starship manufacturing factories. Although they were damaged in the war, repairing them is not a difficult task.
If it can be repaired, the future Xiaolong Legion will have a starship industrial manufacturing base second only to the Xiaolong system!
Starship production capacity will double!
Therefore, Zhao Chen proceeded cautiously and step by step in his strategy for conquering the Mechanicus planet.
If it weren't for this, we could have simply sent interstellar missile ships to wipe out the enemy in one wave after another, and ended the battle much sooner.
It's clear that the Demon King went to such great lengths to mobilize nearly half of his demon army to aid this side, partly in an attempt to rescue his partner.
On the other hand, they also coveted this massive starship manufacturing industrial base!
Once this place is lost, the demon legion will lose the production capacity of 300,000 to 500,000 demon interstellar warships per month!
The Demon Legion's monthly production of new ships will be reduced by more than half!
This is similar to the significance of the War Angels Starfield to the Angel race.
We cannot afford to fail!
It may seem like the smallest battlefield, but it is the most valuable.
The other two battlefields are, firstly, the clash between the Angels and the Demons. Although the Wraith Dragon Legion did not participate in this battle, it was still closely related to the situation on the Wraith Dragon Legion's side.
The other battleground is the clash between the Dragon Legion and the Demon Clan.
Currently, the JF-17 Legion is engaged in five small-to-medium-sized battles in localized battlefields.
The Eighth Legion of the JF-17 Thunder, which was originally in the best position, has now taken a sharp turn for the worse.
Because they were facing a force of nearly 200,000 interstellar warships from the Argalos Legion that had come to their aid.
Having just experienced a fierce battle with the Northern Monarch Legion, this is undoubtedly the biggest test for Ye Xiaotong and her Eighth Dragon Legion.
The situation in the other three local battlefields is very close. They may have an advantage, but they are not yet able to turn that advantage into a victory.
"It seems we need to use our last trump card."
Will we be able to win this battle?
This is the one to watch!
