"Prepare to face the interstellar missile bombardment of the Xiaolong Legion!" Marshal Cao Jianye reminded again, watching the Xiaolong Legion fleet getting closer and closer.
They have thoroughly studied the combat style of the JF-17 Legion during this period.
It's nothing more than gaining an advantage through overwhelming firepower; there's almost no skill involved.
In the video window next to Cao Jianye was Marshal Lei Dachuan, the commander of the Second Main Fleet Group of the Northern Expedition, who was cooperating with him in the operation.
Lei Dachuan sneered, "Commander Cao, there's no need to be so nervous."
The JF-17 Legion only has so many interstellar warships, while we have so many interstellar warships!
There are over 100,000 interstellar warships right here!
Even if we let Zhao Chen bombard the area with interstellar missiles, how long would it take to wipe them all out?
Even if one round of bombardment could destroy tens of thousands of our interstellar warships.
So what?
Even if I let him bombard us two or three more times, we will still have the advantage in the number of interstellar warships.
120,000 interstellar warships to fight a mere 3,000 interstellar warships.
"I've never fought such a comfortable battle in my entire life." Marshal Lei Dachuan was full of confidence, as if he had already annihilated the entire Xiaolong Legion here.
Cao Jianye glanced at his 'colleague' and said indifferently, "It's better to be careful."
Even if we win in the end, His Majesty's Star Empire will still need a large number of interstellar warships.
"With the Holy Radiant Empire and the Warhammer Starfleet still lurking outside, minimizing our losses of starships is a contribution to our future emperor."
Upon hearing this, Lei Dachuan didn't say anything more, but his expression was enough to show that he didn't think much of the opposing Xiaolong Legion.
"Report, our fleet will enter firing range in three minutes."
"Report! Our interstellar frigates are ready to intercept!"
At the forefront of both fleet groups are numerous interstellar frigates.
Originally, so many interstellar escort ships should not have been deployed at the vanguard of the fleet, but unfortunately, the Dragon Legion they were facing had interstellar missiles as their specialty.
Naturally, a large number of interstellar escort ships would be needed for interception.
"Prepare for battle!" Marshal Cao Jianye ordered.
With three thousand interstellar warships, victory is within reach, but caution is still necessary.
After all, their opponent is the legendary JF-17 Dragon Legion.
But as long as their fleet has a numerical advantage... then...
"Warning! Warning! Warning! Instability detected in the surrounding space!"
Suddenly, the alarm sounded again.
Cao Jianye and Lei Dachuan's expressions changed.
"It's very similar to the previous spatial instability fluctuations!" the crew member reported.
Not again?
Cao Jianye immediately assumed that these were interstellar warships sent as reinforcements from the Xiaolong Legion. According to their predictions, the Xiaolong Legion should have at least five thousand interstellar warships.
But the opposing Dragon Legion only has a mere three thousand interstellar warships, which is nearly half of its original strength.
Could it be that they've left themselves a backup plan?
"The fleet is moving at a steady pace, don't panic!"
"No matter what happens next, execute our original plan!" Cao Jianye relayed the order to the commanders of his various fleets.
At this moment, the JF-17 Legion and the two fleet groups have entered the range of conventional firepower. However, because the two fleet groups are led by interstellar escort ships with short firing ranges, and the main warships behind them are unable to launch an attack.
Strangely, the JF-17 Legion still did not launch an attack first.
The atmosphere became unusually strange.
The spatial fluctuation warning had been sounding for half a minute.
At that moment, eight golden lights flashed by, and then an amazing scene appeared before the two newly appointed marshals!
Tens of thousands of meteors flashed by, and where the meteors disappeared, engine halos appeared.
One piece... one piece... one piece...
The quantity is absolutely terrifying!
And they are all located in the star system behind the Dragon Legion.
Because of the distance, Cao Jianye could only see tiny, rice-grain-sized halos of light. Although they weren't large, there were simply too many of them.
They were densely packed together, in large swaths.
It was as if it formed a golden backdrop for the JF-17 Legion.
"Then what exactly is it?" Cao Jianye couldn't help but stand up.
Starship?
No!
impossible!
How could the JF-17 Legion possibly have so many interstellar warships?
"Quick! Use all available reconnaissance methods to tell me what's behind that!" Cao Jianye roared hysterically.
Your subordinate will take care of it immediately.
Subsequently, various reconnaissance methods were employed.
Interstellar reconnaissance ships, interstellar reconnaissance aircraft, deep space telescopes, and so on.
In order to find out what these'spots of light' really are!
Soon, images began to appear.
Those were the outlines of interstellar warships.
One of the captured images shows a complete set of interstellar warships, giving the impression of an impending crisis.
It's suffocating.
And the most crucial thing is!
These interstellar warships didn't bear the fleet crest of the Dragon Legion.
This emblem was familiar to them, yet they couldn't believe it.
That's the fleet crest of the Princess Legion!
"It's the princess... the princess army?" Marshal Lei Dachuan found it unbelievable.
Let's not even mention the heavy losses suffered by the princess's army during their previous escape.
How could the sheer number of interstellar warships before us possibly be the Princess Legion?
No!
That's impossible!
At this moment, there were too many things that these two marshals did not want to believe.
Perhaps... they just can't believe it.
"Report...report...report..." The crew member in charge of the radar system was pale and sweating profusely. He stammered nervously and couldn't speak clearly for a moment.
Cao Jianye slapped him across the face: "What are you reporting?! You can't even speak a proper sentence. I wonder what kind of job you've got..."
Before Cao Jianye could finish speaking, he was stunned by the dense array of cursors on the starship's radar.
Next to it is a column of numbers that are constantly rising.
That's because their fleet system detected the number of newly appearing interstellar warships.
Through repeated radar scans, the most accurate figures are being determined.
64234
81134
119995
...
Ultimately, the number settled at six digits, with the first two digits settling at '12'.
"Ten...ten...one hundred and twenty thousand interstellar warships." Cao Jianye's body trembled slightly, his eyes filled with disbelief.
...
at the same time.
The missile launchers of fifty T3 Judgement-class heavy interplanetary missile ships were activated.
A video window popped up in front of Zhao Chen, and two familiar faces appeared before him.
"Commander, the Imperial Princess Fleet is fully in position!"
At the same time, an excited voice rang out from another window.
"Star missile, launch!"
