Upon hearing the secretary's opinion, Zhao Chen smiled slightly and said casually, "Because I am here, the enemy has concentrated a large number of troops to besiege this place."
Does that mean the pressure on other battlefields will be greatly reduced?
That would be a situation that benefits other battlefields.
So, is it necessary for me to retreat?
Zhao Chen openly expressed his thoughts.
Sweat was already beading on the young secretary's forehead, even though she had been warned by the secretarial department and Secretary Lilith.
His Majesty the Dragon Emperor often does some crazy things.
But I didn't expect it to be this crazy right from the start.
In a battle, it is undoubtedly very dangerous for one side's leader to be directly exposed to the sight of the other side's fleet.
If we are not careful, the enemy could strike first and capture the leader, which would leave one side without a leader and inevitably plunge it into chaos.
But the Dragon Emperor did the opposite.
It means knowingly venturing into dangerous territory.
Zhao Chen hadn't even had a chance to speak to his secretary.
He directly contacted Xiong Xiangxiang, the deputy commander of his Xiaolong Emperor Guard Fleet, who was actually the highest military commander.
“Commander Bear, I’ve decided to stay here.”
"Is there something wrong with your Royal Guard fleet?"
Commander Xiong Xiangxiang smiled calmly. As the deputy commander of the Emperor's personal guard fleet for many years, she had followed Emperor Xiaolong for many years and was already familiar with Emperor Xiaolong's temperament.
She had seen situations even more risky and dangerous than the one she was in now.
Therefore, in her view, this situation was a trivial matter.
"Please rest assured, Your Majesty."
"We will definitely ensure His Majesty's safety!" Deputy Commander Xiong Xiangxiang said confidently.
The secretary, who witnessed all of this, helplessly covered his forehead.
The Emperor Dragon made the decision, and even the military commander of the Emperor's personal guard fleet thought there was no problem.
There was no need for her to try to persuade him further.
All she can do now is silently pray that nothing serious happens.
Not to mention the safety of Emperor Xiaolong's life, if anything were to happen to him, she would be held responsible.
Okay, don't be nervous.
Just do your own job well.
My safety is none of your business.
"It's just that the soldiers of the Tenth Army Fleet might have to endure a lot of pressure at the very beginning of the war." Zhao Chen couldn't help but laugh at the thought of Marshal Pei Shengnan's helpless expression at that time.
Since the main fleet of the civilization-devouring legion has been deployed here.
That would mean that the 10th Legion Fleet Group of the JF-17 Thunder would be in the worst situation and would be under the greatest pressure.
If you want to push forward any further, the difficulty will increase many times over!
After all, given the current situation, only the 10th Legion Fleet Group of the JF-17 Thunder is in a state of combat readiness.
The other nine forward bases are currently in a non-combat state, proceeding with initial setup, base construction, stargate building, and starport construction, etc.
The situation of the 10th Legion Fleet of the Falcon 10 is the worst.
The 20th hour has passed since the vowed duel began.
Due to special circumstances, the 10th Legion Fleet Group of the JF-17 was granted the right to use a large number of Jade equipment before the stargate was completed.
They deployed a large number of their legion fleets to the battlefield in the A-10 system early on.
At this moment, Marshal Pei Shengnan's 10th Legion fleet also arrived at the battlefield and officially took over command of the battlefield from Lieutenant General Elodie.
"Reporting to the Marshal."
The A-10 system is currently under our control. We have established three layers of combat defense, and all legion fleets can rotate and rest for twelve hours at a time.
At this moment, the enemy interstellar legion fleet in our area has nearly five million interstellar warships.
That's five times the number of our starships!
And the intensity of their attack is extremely high!
Fortunately, they cannot break through our defenses in a short time!
However, if the subsequent civilizations that devoured the enemy send additional fleets to support this battlefield, it is highly likely that this balance will be broken.
Report complete!
"Please give instructions, Marshal!" Lieutenant General Elodie reported the battlefield situation to Marshal Pei Shengnan on the other end of the video window.
Although the report was very brief, Marshal Pei Shengnan was able to reconstruct the battle of the previous dozens of hours in her mind from this battlefield information.
It may seem ordinary, but in reality, the pressure on Lieutenant General Elodie to achieve this level of command was immense.
It is clear that the Devouring Civilization on the other side has a very clear attitude towards attack this time, and seems to have the idea of taking the lead in invading the A-10 system.
If, before this, the entire 10th Legion fleet of the Wyvern had arrived, the opposing Devouring Civilization Legion fleet would have been able to penetrate into the A-10 system to carry out relevant combat deployments.
That could very well have a huge impact on the current battle situation in the A-10 system.
The situation might not be the same as it is now.
Over the past dozen hours, both sides have been carrying out extremely intense battlefield deployments and maneuvers, with high-intensity clashes occurring continuously in just over ten hours.
If the Emperor Dragon hadn't placed no restrictions on ammunition consumption for this battle, allowing all ammunition and supplies, including interstellar missiles, to be used freely...
It's estimated that Lieutenant General Elodie might not be able to withstand the powerful attack from the Devouring Civilization Legion fleet.
"You did a very good job." Marshal Pei Shengnan praised Lieutenant General Elodie, commander, from the bottom of her heart after seeing these battle reports and records.
But Lieutenant General Elodie shook his head and pointed to several battle reports, saying, "I haven't done nearly enough."
In these battles, if I could make some changes to command or adjust the fleet arrangements, the situation would be better.
Marshal Pei Shengnan looked at Lieutenant General Elodie opposite her in great surprise. She did not expect that the other party could reflect on his previous battle plan in such a short period of time.
This was something she hadn't expected.
She genuinely admired Lieutenant General Elodie's talent as a commander, and believed that her previous arrangements were correct.
Training Lieutenant General Elodie as commander was the right choice.
"These are not major problems."
You've done a great job.
I see that your 410th Legion fleet is currently in poor combat condition. For the past few dozen hours, it has been engaged in high-intensity combat without any rest.
Now you can lead them to take turns resting.
"I will take over the affairs on the battlefield!" Marshal Pei Shengnan said.
Lieutenant General Elodie opened her mouth, as if she wanted to say something.
But seeing the resolute look in Marshal Pei Shengnan's eyes across from him...
She knew that even if she spoke up, Marshal Pei Shengnan probably wouldn't agree.
All she could answer was, "Yes."
The 410th Legion Fleet of the JF-17 Thunder was ordered to take turns resting.
But if there is any need on the battlefield, please feel free to arrange for us.
The 410th Fleet of the JF-17 Thunder is ready to carry out any combat mission at any time!
Although Lieutenant General Elodie didn't say it outright, his words emphasized that his fleet was ready to continue fighting at any time.
"Yes, I understand." Marshal Pei Shengnan nodded, then temporarily suspended communication with Lieutenant General Elodie.
Immediately afterwards, she put her staff in charge of the battlefield and made subsequent combat deployments.
After explaining all this, Marshal Pei Shengnan finally took the time to contact Emperor Xiaolong, who was in their A-10 star system.
Zhao Chen looked at Marshal Pei Shengnan opposite him.
"Marshal Pei, you're not here to interrogate me, are you?" Zhao Chen teased deliberately.
Marshal Pei Shengnan immediately replied, "This subordinate dares not."
"If I weren't here, your 10th Legion Fleet Group wouldn't have become the first battlefield to start the war, and you wouldn't be under such intense combat pressure right now."
"You really don't blame me?" Zhao Chen blinked and looked at Pei Shengnan across from him.
Pei Shengnan naturally understood the teasing tone in Emperor Xiaolong's words.
She smiled calmly and said, "I don't think there's anything wrong with that."
Even if you are not on our galactic battlefield, you will appear on other galactic battlefields.
If this is the reason why we are afraid of fighting and want to avoid trouble.
Then we are not worthy to be soldiers of the JF-17 Dragon Legion fleet!
We might even be fortunate enough to be among the first battlefields to engage in combat during this campaign.
I feel very honored.
Because the most important combat missions and the most difficult battlefields are often entrusted to the most trustworthy legions and fleets.
"Since Emperor Xiaolong has chosen to stay with us, it means that His Majesty Emperor Xiaolong trusts us!" Marshal Pei Shengnan stood tall and proud.
Zhao Chen couldn't help but chuckle, and he said with a smile, "You're quite the smooth talker."
To be honest, the other side is still sending more legion fleets.
If it weren't for the fact that the number of legion fleets that can be deployed at the same time within a certain range of space is limited.
The number of ships in the Devouring Civilization Legion here is a mere ten million.
You should be aware of this.
As long as the other side doesn't change its fighting strategy, more and more interstellar legion fleets will arrive here in the upcoming battles.
And all of this is because I'm here.
According to the rules we established when we formulated the battle plan.
The ten fleet groups, regardless of the circumstances, fight and advance independently.
In other words, even if the enemy gathers 20 or 30 million interstellar warships here.
Aside from ensuring your logistical supplies, no reinforcements will come to support you.
Do you still have the confidence to fight this battle?
Now, all you have to say is that you feel pressured.
"I can consider changing the location later." Zhao Chen offered Marshal Pei Shengnan this option.
Marshal Pei Shengnan answered without hesitation: "Your Majesty, please rest assured and stay here until the battle is over."
No matter how many interstellar legion fleets are coming from the other side.
I cannot guarantee that we will ultimately win, but as long as our 10th Legion Fleet still has one fleet and one interstellar warship here.
They will surely stand in front of your flagship!
Hearing Marshal Pei Shengnan's unwavering words...
Zhao Chen was very pleased. He smiled and said, "I didn't force you to do this."
You made the choice yourself, so that's the case.
"Then my Imperial Guard fleet and I will remain stationed here until the end of the campaign."
"This is the glory of our 10th Legion Fleet!" Marshal Pei Shengnan even showed a confident and proud expression on her face.
"Then I look forward to your performance." Zhao Chen didn't waste any more words.
This video conference has now ended.
Zhao Chen looked at the video window that had been there all along, and on the other side was Grand Marshal Charlotte.
"Don't worry."
Since Pei Shengnan has already said that, what questions could I possibly have?
And this is the situation no matter where I am.
"The Devouring Civilization wants to attack me directly. Am I supposed to go and tell that Black God Emperor, 'This won't do; you can't all attack me at once!'"
Zhao Chen paused for a moment and then continued, "Moreover, this situation is advantageous to us."
The Tenth Legion Fleet Group was under immense pressure, which would reduce the pressure on the other nine Legion Fleet Groups.
In the subsequent offensive, only if your attack is strong enough will it inevitably affect the enemy.
By then, even if the enemy is unwilling, they will have no choice but to deploy their fleet to hinder your attack.
Upon hearing Emperor Xiaolong's words...
Grand Marshal Charlotte looked at Zhao Chen helplessly; this guy was using him as bait again.
But she also knew that this was the current situation, and there was no way to escape it.
"No matter what, you must take care of your safety," Grand Marshal Charlotte said as her first reminder.
Then she continued, "Our Ghost Scout Elite Fleet has now basically gathered information on the enemy's initial battle deployment plan."
The Black God Emperor deployed his legion fleets in almost all major star systems, scattering them like a shower of flowers.
The quantity is very large.
To date, the number of interstellar warships dispatched by the Legion fleet has approached one hundred million.
I estimate that the Black God Emperor's tactics are to first rely on his numerical superiority to compress our battle space.
Finally, they will surround and annihilate us.
Zhao Chen thought for a moment and said, "Isn't this exactly what our tactics are all about?"
The enemy consists entirely of soldiers, so we can advance directly.
"Let's see if the enemy has more starships, or if our attack is more powerful!"
Grand Marshal Charlotte nodded and said, "It seems that the only way now is to proceed according to the original battle plan."
If any unforeseen circumstances arise, we will adjust our battle plan accordingly.
"How long do you think it will take at most to determine our main attack route?" Zhao Chen asked curiously.
Grand Marshal Charlotte thought for a moment and replied, "That cannot be determined at the moment."
However, within roughly three months, another important influencing factor was the location of the enemy, the Black God Emperor.
This is also a fundamental factor directly affecting our choice of which fleet group to use as the main offensive direction!
