These patrolling interstellar warships were not the only ones targeted by such suicide attacks.
And those defensive fortifications.
Those interstellar fortresses and outposts would be rammed by suicidal T2 interstellar warships before they even had a chance to fire a few rounds, turning into burning fireballs.
Finally, he perished.
The massive war offensives surrounding the capital star system are causing it to fall one area at a visible rate.
If you were to look at the current battle situation in the capital star system of the Ash Venerable Kingdom from God's perspective, it would be like seeing a grassland being slowly devoured by flames.
This situation was eventually reported to the temple on the capital planet, albeit with a slight delay.
When this message appeared at the temple.
Many of the outer defenses of the capital star system have already fallen.
When everyone heard the news, they all showed expressions of disbelief.
They never expected that this rebel force called the Lord of Ashes would be so audacious.
Not only did they dare to set fires all over the Ash Venerable Kingdom, but now they've gone too far and launched an attack on the capital star system.
This made Ash Venerable's expression very unpleasant.
Ashbringer slammed his fist on the armrest of his throne and roared, "These damned bastards!"
They actually dared to attack the capital star system.
"Issue my order: all interstellar warships in the capital system are to be deployed and annihilate this so-called Lord of Ashes' fleet as quickly as possible!"
It's clear that Ashbringer is truly furious.
Having been bullied by this Lord of Ashes time and time again, he's now going so far as to bully us right to our faces.
The Venerable Ashes had never suffered such humiliation.
It's one thing for the conquerors' civilization to wage war with their fleets.
They are strong.
Even if they conquered one universe after another and even attacked the capital planet.
Even Ashbringer might not experience such a strong emotional fluctuation.
After all, their strength is undeniable.
They're just better than me, and getting defeated by them isn't a big deal.
But you, Lord of Ashes, are an interstellar force that appeared out of nowhere.
They dare to act so arrogantly here; who can stand that?
The Minister of the Military also immediately began making arrangements.
But his forehead was covered in beads of sweat.
This appears to be a rebel organization, but he now discovers that it is quite unusual.
Because it wasn't just the Legion fleet attacking; they were carrying out sabotage operations throughout the capital system.
Numerous important departments were attacked.
If these departments are disrupted, their command structure will become chaotic.
"Activate the backup command center immediately!"
"The defense system at this location should immediately prepare for battle."
"We must intercept these rebel spaceships at this location!"
The military minister relayed orders one after another.
At first, things were a bit chaotic.
But this is, after all, the capital star system, and those here are the elite troops of the Ash Venerable Kingdom.
So everyone quickly returned to the proper fighting order.
The Ash Lord's fleet's offensive speed has also been greatly slowed down.
But it only slows things down.
"Report: The Legion of the Ash Lord is launching an attack on our stargate."
The Stargate is under extreme threat and requests reinforcements!
Upon hearing this news, many people in the temple began to feel nervous.
They were well aware of the importance of stargates in a war.
If the stargate of the capital system is lost, their capital system will become an isolated island in a short period of time.
Even if they need to seek support, the supporting legion fleets need to first go to the surrounding star systems and then use their own interstellar warp speed to get there.
This will take more time.
Furthermore, more unstable factors will emerge.
For example, they might be intercepted or ambushed on the way.
"Damn it, were these guys' original target actually our capital planet?!"
Their attacks on the surrounding star systems, and even the Ash Sea system, were ultimately aimed at dispersing the legion fleet of our capital star system.
Originally, we had 3.5 million interstellar warships stationed in the capital star system.
But now there are less than 1.5 million ships left, which is when our capital star system's military strength is at its weakest.
"Their goal is actually our capital planet!" A minister nervously voiced his conjecture.
After this idea was uttered, the atmosphere inside the temple became noticeably tense.
They weren't actually this nervous when wars broke out in various parts of the kingdom before.
After all, as long as the fire didn't burn them, they weren't very nervous.
Most of their ministers here have families that are stationed in the capital star system, even if they have fiefdoms or territories outside the system.
In fact, proper arrangements had been made long beforehand.
They made arrangements well in advance when the Conqueror Civilization Legion's fleet was deploying its attack.
In those fiefdoms, agents were appointed to manage them, so that the fiefdoms could continue to operate and the agents could obtain the value of the produce.
Even if the fiefdom is affected by war or even falls to the enemy.
For them, there was no danger.
After all, they had made these preparations long ago.
A large amount of wealth had already been transferred to their mansions in the capital star system.
Now, the capital star system has been attacked.
This is what hit them where it hurts.
If the capital star system falls, their families and their entire fortunes will be wiped out.
Therefore, they were even more worried about this than the Ashbringer.
This is also because the properties these people have acquired in the capital star system are located in locations that are definitely more peripheral than the capital star itself.
If something goes wrong in the capital star system, their planet will be the first to fall.
How could they not be anxious?
At this point, some people couldn't help but offer their opinions to the Ash Venerable.
"Your Excellency, I believe the most urgent task now is to recall reinforcements to protect the safety of the capital star system."
Other places are important, but none are more important than your safety!
"Yes, even if we lose the other star systems, we can take them back in the future."
These rebel groups are nothing but clowns.
However, we cannot tolerate any risk to your safety.
"What will happen to our Ashbringer Kingdom if anything happens to you?"
"Your Excellency, please order the legion fleet to retreat immediately to support the capital star and protect your safety!"
These people who stood up and spoke, each of them spoke very well.
It is to protect the capital star, and to protect the safety of His Excellency.
But it's obvious to anyone with eyes to see that they are worried about themselves, their families, and their wealth.
Ash Venerable naturally listened to what these people had to say.
To say he's not afraid of death?
That's impossible.
The Ashbringer was extremely afraid of death; the longer he lived, the more afraid he became.
Otherwise, they wouldn't have stationed so many interstellar warships in the capital system.
Now, the legion fleet of that so-called Lord of Ashes is heading straight for the capital star system, and even for him, the Lord of Ashes.
He dared not take the risk; who knew if something unexpected might actually happen?
"Pass on my order: of the one million interstellar warships dispatched to the Sea of Ashes, five hundred thousand interstellar warships shall be withdrawn."
All other dispatched interstellar warships were immediately withdrawn.
"Prioritize the safety of the capital star system!" Ash Venerable issued the order at this moment.
The ministers also breathed a sigh of relief.
If only these legion fleets that were originally stationed in the capital system could be withdrawn.
That means there's basically no danger in the capital star system.
However, the Minister of the Army considered this to be a very foolish act.
In his view.
The enemy commander's actions were clearly a feint.
It seems that their stated military objective is to capture the leader first.
But what is the reality?
This is using the capital star of the Ash Venerable Kingdom as bait to lure more of the Ash Venerable Kingdom's legion fleet to remain in the vicinity of the capital star.
This would give them an advantage in other battlefield positions.
You should ask him how he came to that conclusion.
Because if he were the commander of the Ash Lord, and if he really wanted to attack the capital planet of the Ash Lord's kingdom...
Then he wouldn't launch an attack at this critical juncture.
He will wait.
We should wait until the deployed legion fleets are fully engaged in combat on their respective battlefields before launching an attack on the capital system of the Ash Venerable Kingdom.
In this situation, it would be much more difficult and take longer for fleets already at war to disengage.
Furthermore, they can order the rebel fleets in these areas to hold off the enemy at all costs.
To buy time for the war in the capital system.
This will greatly increase the tactical success rate of the capital star system.
But the other party did none of these things.
Even before the scattered legion fleets could reach the battlefields in various locations, they hastily launched an attack on the capital system.
It was as if they were worried that the supporting legion fleets might actually affect the situation on various battlefields.
There was another, more important reason: he had been puzzled as to why the Lord of Ashes would attack the worthless Sea of Ashes.
Moreover, they dispatched such a large number of legions and fleets.
Now everything makes sense; this was all to lure out the military forces of the capital star system.
The other side's real purpose was not the capital system, but to use it to contain more of the Ash Venerable's legion fleets in the capital system, preventing them from leaving without permission.
This would greatly reduce their margin for error.
The initiative will also be in their hands.
If the Ash Lord Kingdom doesn't withdraw to support the battlefield in the capital star system, what if they actually launch an attack on the capital star system?
I can't afford to gamble!
These people simply can't afford to gamble.
Therefore, their choice was already arranged by the opposing commander.
So now, although he, the Minister of the Army and a general in the military, knows these things, he has not exposed them.
Sometimes, being a smart person only makes you a target of criticism.
The best option now is to obey everyone's choice. In this way, even if any problems arise, everyone will bear the responsibility.
Not just him alone.
Only a fool would be the one to stick their neck out.
However, he was now very curious about who the commander behind the Lord of Ashes was.
They were able to proceed cautiously, considering so many things.
So many arrangements have been made.
He had truly never seen many people like this in the Ash Venerable Kingdom.
This aroused his curiosity about such a person.
Let's get back to the main topic.
The news of the withdrawal of all the dispatched legion fleets spread quickly.
This news naturally reached the eyes of the Ash Lord's spy planted in the Ash Venerable Kingdom, and soon it also appeared before Feng Lanhua.
Feng Lanhua was quite pleased to hear this news.
Because this was part of their planned strategy.
"This is the most difficult time for us."
A death order was given to the unit responsible for attacking the stargate.
We must capture the Star Gate within three hours.
Even if we can't destroy the stargate, we should at least make it unable to function properly!
"We can't let the fleet tasked with repairing the stargate head towards it!" Feng Lanhua said, looking at the stargate in the Ash Venerable Kingdom's capital star system in the video footage.
The area surrounding that stargate is currently the site of the most intense battle in the entire Ash Venerable Kingdom's capital star system.
At the same time, it can be seen that this stargate has stopped operating.
In some areas of the stargate, black smoke can be seen billowing out, and unmanned repair robots are working to repair these areas.
These were all sabotages carried out by spies planted by the Lord of Ashes.
However, due to the importance of the stargate, infiltration of the stargate is very difficult, so destroying the stargate to the greatest extent is extremely difficult.
Simply getting the explosives in is extremely difficult.
Concealment must also be considered.
Therefore, the extent of damage to the stargate was ultimately very limited.
It only damaged some functional components, temporarily rendering the stargate inoperable, but did not cause significant damage to the overall structure.
If no intervention is needed, the damaged parts can be replaced quickly after the repair fleet arrives, and the stargate can be restored to operation.
Therefore, right now, they need to take down the stargate or stop its repair work during this period.
Once the stargate is repaired.
Those dispatched legion fleets can return to support in a very short time.
That would be a devastating blow to the legion fleets led by Feng Lanhua.
This is the key element!
There is no room for error.
Feng Lanhua watched the battle in the capital star system of the Ash Venerable Kingdom, and then took a moment to glance at the overall battlefield situation of the Ash Venerable Kingdom.
Basically, the overall situation was developing as the Ash Lord had predicted.
This battle will continue for several days.
Until that JF-17 fleet arrives.
There was no word on when they would arrive.
Because the power is in the hands of the Dragon Star Empire.
All they can do is keep fighting!
