January 5th
Chu Changhe launched his fiercest attack yet, and on this one day alone, Chu Changhe lost three T4 Borei-class ships and five T4 Borei-class ships were severely damaged.
This day also saw the largest single-day loss of interstellar warships in nearly six months.
Chu Changhe's fleet lost nearly five thousand T2-level and above interstellar warships in a single day!
The Royal Starfleet suffered a staggering loss of 7,000 interstellar warships.
That's equivalent to losing two full-strength interstellar legion fleets in a single day!
However, the Royal Star Fleet's defenses remained orderly and did not descend into chaos.
On the same day, Huang Zhixiong's Azure Interstellar Main Fleet launched its fiercest attack on the North Wind Star Region.
The Borei Starfleet put up a fierce resistance, but was ultimately overwhelmed.
The next three days.
The battle between the royal main fleet and the Chu Changhe main fleet remains fierce.
The daily loss exceeded five thousand interstellar warships.
At this point in the decisive battle, both sides have suffered casualties exceeding 30%!
It can be described as the most brutal battle in the Star Empire in recent decades.
It turned out to be a civil war!

January 9th
After a fierce battle, the first reinforcements finally arrived.
Sixty thousand interstellar warships from the first main fleet group of the Northern Expedition joined the battle.
As a result, on the battlefield of this decisive battle, the military strength of the princes' side has exceeded that of Chu Changhe by nearly two times!
At the same time, Chu Changhe was attacked from two sides.
Even while resisting the first main fleet of the Northern Expedition, he still needed to fight against the royal interstellar main fleet.
From that day onward, it became clear that Chu Changhe's military strength was struggling to maintain its course, and the intensity of his attacks began to decline significantly.
Although there are more interstellar warships on the battlefield, the casualties on both sides are actually less than in the previous days.
This is the situation the princes want to see. They are eager to drag Chu Changhe into the quagmire of this decisive battle, at which point victory will be in their hands.
January 10th
On this day, two pieces of good news arrived at the same time.
Firstly, on the main battlefield, the Prince Party's Second Main Fleet Group for the Northern Expedition and the Prince Party's Joint Main Fleet Group arrived at the battlefield one after another.
This formed a pincer movement around Chu Changhe's interstellar fleet!
At this moment, Qin Ming felt as if half of his buttocks were already sitting on the throne of the Star Glory Empire.
No matter how strong Chu Changhe's interstellar fleet is, can it possibly defy the heavens?
Meanwhile, good news also came from the North Wind Star Region.
Under the attack of Huang Zhixiong's main fleet of the Azure Interstellar Space, the first bridgehead position in the North Wind Starfield was finally captured on this day.
Several galaxies centered around the Northern Wolf Galaxy.
This was originally the territory of the Marquis of the Northern Wolf. However, for well-known reasons, after Chu Changhe broke ties with the Prince's faction, it was directly taken over by the Governor of the Northern Wind.
At the same time, a deep defensive position was quickly established!
Prior to this, the fierce battles with the princes' faction had been taking place in this area.
And now, the bridgehead that the princes' party had been unable to conquer for nearly half a year has finally been captured.
In this way, Huang Zhixiong can take advantage of the situation to invade the entire North Wind Star Region!
The princes' party is in a very good position.
The capital city has even begun preparations for Prince Qin Ming's enthronement ceremony.
Even the news about defeating Chu Changhe and recovering the Chuhe Star Region and the Beifeng Star Region in the future has been edited.
We await the arrival of good news, so that His Highness Qin Ming's fame may spread throughout the entire Star Glory Empire.
but.
No one expected that within just a few hours...
They kicked Qin Ming, who was high above the clouds, and his princes and their cronies down from the sky.
Falling into the abyss!
It shattered all their beautiful illusions.

Bridge of the first T4 Suzaku-class medium interstellar cruiser in the Xiaolong system
Zhao Chen sat calmly in the captain's chair.
However, it was quite obvious that the atmosphere on the entire bridge was a bit off.
Zhao Chen glanced at the time; there was still an hour before the operation.
"Lilith, confirm it again."
"Are all parties on standby?" Zhao Chen looked at Lilith beside him.
Lilith nodded solemnly: "Please rest assured, Commander, we have established a unified command system with the various legions and fleets, and we can know their actions immediately."
At this moment, all their interstellar warships were on standby, waiting for the time to act.
Military operations can then be launched!
Zhao Chen nodded in satisfaction.
"Old Master Chu is keeping his composure, but Governor Zhu has been very anxious these past few days," Zhao Chen said with a light laugh.
Because the North Wind Star Region lost its bridgehead positions and several star systems, the people within the North Wind Star Region were in a state of panic.
This unsettled Governor North Wind, who contacted Zhao Chen several times to confirm whether the plan was proceeding smoothly.
Only after Zhao Chen's repeated assurances did Old Master Zhu finally feel at ease.
However, I suspect he still won't be sleeping well these next few days.
After all, Zhao Chen's ambitions are too great!
What Old Master Zhu knew was already hard for him to believe.
This was even without Zhao Chen telling him everything.
If Old Master Zhu knew everything, his heart probably wouldn't be able to take it.
"After all, in the past few days, the main fleet of the North Wind has suffered a loss rate of 30%."
Although a number of lord fleets had been urgently mobilized beforehand, the opposing force was the Imperial Army fleet.
Even the combat strength of the second-line imperial army is incomparable to that of the lord fleets.
The two sides have twice as many interstellar warships.
"The reason we've been able to hold on until now is largely due to the fact that Beiyan Group has significantly increased sales of the T2 Tibetan Mastiff-class medium-sized interstellar destroyers in the North Wind Starfield over the past few months," Lilith replied.
"Let those guys jump around a bit longer," Zhao Chen said with a sneer, looking at the huge interstellar sandbox in front of him.
The six interstellar fleets are clearly marked above.
The Royal Interstellar Fleet, currently consisting of 30,000 ships, is commanded by Qin Ming and Five-Star Marshal Qin Longcheng.
The Azure Interstellar Main Fleet, currently consisting of 55,000 ships, is commanded by Five-Star Marshal Huang Zhixiong.
The Prince Party's main fleet, currently consisting of 56,000 ships, is commanded by Five-Star Marshal Tang Xiong.
The Yan Prince's Interstellar Main Fleet currently consists of 59,000 ships and is commanded by the Yan Prince and Five-Star Marshal Zhong Yan.
The first main fleet group of the Northern Expedition, currently consisting of 53,000 ships, is commanded by five-star marshal Cao Jianye.
The Second Main Fleet Group of the Northern Expedition, currently consisting of 57,000 ships, is commanded by Five-Star Marshal Lei Dachuan.
Among them, the two five-star marshals of the first and second fleet groups of the Northern Expedition were actually appointed by Qin Ming just half a year ago.
Originally, the Starry Empire only had eight five-star marshals, but with these two additions, it now has ten imperial marshals.
A civil war within the Starry Empire directly involved seven imperial marshals.
I wonder how many of these six imperial generals will fall this time.
Zhao Chen revealed a playful smile.
