The strongest commander in the universe

However, the defensive advantage of the Io Federation did not last long, and it was lost only when the 5 warships of the Wells Legion were wiped out. After all, Serbia is not Horton, and the star road between it and Siris is very wide, enough Support thousands of warships to march at the same time.

Therefore, when every wave of incoming enemy ships cannot be completely cleaned up, more and more enemy warships will accumulate at the exit of the Way of the Stars, eventually forming a strong bridgehead.

Once the bridgehead is formed, Wells can easily defeat the Fifth Army of the Io Federation by virtue of his superior numbers and stronger warships than the opponent.

At the same time, in the virtual conference room.

"No, the other party has already established a bridgehead at the crossing of the star, and I can only hold on for 2 hours at most."

Joanna had a bitter look on her face. The current situation is very clear. The opponent wants to attack regardless of casualties, and this is what Joanna is most afraid of. After all, she cannot compare with the opponent in terms of the number of battleships or the performance of battleships.

Moreover, the most important thing is the morale issue. The defenders in Serbia have never heard the name of Wells without changing their expressions. The title of Seris Demon is not called for nothing.

In addition, the opponent opened up a path of nine deaths from ten deaths and no life. All warships and all soldiers have completely become desperadoes.

At the exit of this narrow Star Road, there are not many tactics to speak of. Once the bridgehead of the attacking side is erected, everyone will compete later on who has more warships, who has stronger firepower, and whose will is stronger!

It's a pity that the Fifth Army under Joanna's command is all at a disadvantage.

"Commander Joanna, I suggest you retreat and give up Serbia for the time being! If you exhaust your Fifth Army here, you won't get anything! You will also take the lives of many angels in vain!"

Li Cangqiong glanced at the Serbian star strategy video shared by Joanna, and said.

He could already see that if this situation continued, the Fifth Army would eventually be wiped out, and at most it could only destroy 15 to 20 warships of the Wells Army.

"Retreat? If I retreat here, there will be no defense area behind!"

"So, even if you persist for 2 hours before being completely wiped out, can you change the reality that the rear is defenseless?"

"This……"

Joanna wanted to refute, but didn't know how.

He understood that what Li Cangqiong said was the truth, and if he continued to stick to it, he would not be able to gain anything, nor would he be able to change anything!

But as the legion commander of the Io Federation, let him flee as soon as the fight starts?This is really a bit...

"Commander Joanna, I remember that your battleships still have some advantages over the battleships of the Oaks Empire, such as speed!"

That's right, although the battleships of the Io Federation are significantly weaker than the battleships of the Ochs Empire in terms of attack power and defense power.

But only the speed of the battleship is much faster than that, it can reach a speed of 8000 kilometers per second, which is even faster than the current Snow Leopard-class battlecruiser of the Human Federation at a speed of 2000 kilometers per second.

"what do you mean?"

At this time, a figure appeared again in the conference room. This is the new Angel Queen of the Io Federation and the former head of the Third Legion, Elfie!

"Li Cangqiong, this is the current queen of the Io Federation, Her Majesty Alfie!"

"Hello, Her Majesty Queen Elfie!"

"Forget about being polite. The situation is urgent now. This guy seemed to be thinking about breaking the situation just now. Please hurry up and talk about it!"

Even though Elfie became the queen, she still maintained the style she used to be the head of the legion, being vigorous and resolute.

"Well, now that the Fifth Army is defending Serbia, according to my estimation, it will be wiped out in at most 2 hours, and it can only destroy about 15 to 20 warships of the Wells Army. From the perspective of warfare, this is very unwise. of."

"My idea is that Commander Joanna can use his speed advantage to decisively abandon Serbia and retreat to the rear star system when the opponent has established a bridgehead and his own advantage is lost."

"According to the star map, there are two star systems connected behind Serbia, Hillside and Mihorton, which are 2 and 0.2 light-years away from Serbia."

"Commander Joanna can lead the Fifth Army to retreat to Hillside and re-establish the defense line. Wells now wants speed, and his first choice must be on Hillside, but to ensure nothing goes wrong, Commander Elena The officer can lead the fleet to set off for Mihorton immediately!"

"And our side is going to Hillside. Of course, the speed may not be able to catch up. After all, it takes about 27 days from our place to Hillside!"

"But it doesn't matter. If Wells arrives at Hillside before we arrive, then Commander Joanna can use the advantage of the Star Way to kill another tens of thousands of warships, and continue to retreat when the other party establishes a bridgehead. .”

"Everyone needs to see our advantages, that is, we have strategic depth, backup, and supplies!"

"And what about Wells? He can only advance all the way, no rear, no supplies, and no support! Only 50 warships, um, it should be 42 warships now!"

"Therefore, don't fight recklessly. If the first line of defense doesn't work, use the second line, and if the second line doesn't work, use the third line. In fact, even without us, the Fifth Legion alone can take advantage of the speed advantage and the initial stage of defense with the Way of the Stars. The advantage is eating up the Wells Army bit by bit."

Li Cangqiong finished his tactics in one breath. In fact, his strategic thinking is very simple and direct. Since his side has depth, and every star system has the initial defensive advantage of the Way of the Stars, why not use it?

When you have a defensive advantage, destroy the opponent's tens of thousands of warships, then retreat quickly, continue to deploy the defense line of the Star Road at a node, and rely on the depth to eat the opponent alive.

In this way, even if you don't join, the Third Legion of the Io Federation will not join, and the Fifth Legion alone can consume the Wells Legion, okay?

Moreover, since the loss of Siris, the entire Miracle Starfield has become a high-risk starfield. Most people here have evacuated long ago. For decades, few angels are willing to immigrate to this starfield, so there are not many people at all. , Even the trouble of mass evacuation of people is saved.

The most important thing is that what Wells wants now is speed, to break out all the way at the fastest speed, so he has no time to waste destroying planets one by one.

For the Io Federation, it was just giving up some territory in a short period of time, and it was taken back a few months later, without much actual loss.

After listening to Li Cangqiong's words, Elfie pondered for a while, and then spoke to Joanna!

"Commander Joanna, as the queen, I order you to immediately lead the Fifth Army to retreat to Hillside and rearrange the defense line of the Star Road!"

Chapter 121 Wells' Decision

In the conference room, Alfie said to Joanna in an unquestionable tone.

"Commander Joanna, as the queen, I order you to immediately lead the Fifth Army to retreat to Hillside and rearrange the defense line of the Star Road!"

"Yes, Her Majesty!"

The Queen's order to retreat and her own withdrawal from the front are two completely different meanings.

Joanna, who had no psychological burden, immediately ordered the fleet to withdraw from the Starway defense line. Using the speed advantage and arc flight, she quickly avoided the firepower of the Wells Legion, and opened the distance, and flew towards the Starway in the direction of Hillside!

At the exit of the Way of the Stars, although the bridgehead of the Wells Legion has been established, there are currently only 8 warships, which cannot effectively stop Joanna's Fifth Legion.

Coupled with the fact that the speed of the warship is 3000 kilometers per second slower than that of the opponent, one can only watch the opponent quickly evacuate.

Also evacuating quickly are the logistics personnel in the star port. As for some staff members on various planets, Joanna just notified them to hide.

After all, as Li Cangqiong said, Wells has no time to waste, he will not clean up the planet, so the people on the planet are basically safe.

An hour later, after converging a large number of transport ships carrying logistics personnel flying out from the star port group, the entire fleet began to enter the Star Road one after another, heading for Hillside.

Just as Joanna's Fifth Legion withdrew, Wells' flagship also sailed out of the Way of the Stars.

Looking at the retreating Io Federation fleet in the distance, Wells frowned deeply.

This is the last thing he wants to see. For Wells, the ideal situation is to wipe out the opponent in one fell swoop in Serbia.

But what about reality?The reality is that the opponent only lost 2 warships, and retreated when his own bridgehead was just established, but when he established the bridgehead in the early stage, he lost nearly 8 warships.

If this is normal, Wells won't care. It's a good deal to exchange 8 warships for an important node.

But are these normal times?I don't have any backup, and the opponent made it clear that they want to block me all the way and consume my own combat power. When did the group of angels in the Io Federation become so good at fighting?This is clearly to exchange space for victory!

But this makes no sense. Without knowing the current situation of the Ochs Empire, using this strategy is tantamount to self-destructing the Great Wall. After all, once Serbia falls, the army of the Ochs Empire can enter the Io Federation from afar, or even directly Hit all the way to its capital circle.

Unless... the angels and humans hook up, and the Io Federation knows the current situation of the Oaks Empire, and knows that its legion is a lone army.

Only in this way can it explain why the Io Federation adopted such a strategy.

If this is the case, then I am in danger. The Io Federation will definitely not fight us head-on. Instead, it will be like Serbia's battle. In the early stage of the Star Road defense war, it will use its defensive advantages to wipe out itself in large numbers fleet.

After that, when the defensive advantage is gradually lost, decisively continue to retreat, continue to deploy the defense line at the next node, and repeat the previous tactics.

Then wait for your own result [vertex fo], you can only be eaten up bit by bit.

This is not possible, the strategy must be changed, otherwise they will definitely not be able to cross the territory of the Io Federation, and they will all die on the road.

But even if Wells wants to change his strategy now, it is not so easy. There are only three choices in front of him.

First, returning to Siris would be tantamount to courting death, and Wells didn't think about it at all.

Second, go to Hillside, which is 0.2 light-years away and takes about 24 days. Moreover, Joanna’s Fifth Legion, who has just retreated, is thinking of Hillside, and they will inevitably re-establish their defenses on the Way of the Stars.

Third, go to Mihorton, which is 0.3 light-years away and takes about 36 days. It is not known whether there are arrangements there, but Wells believes that there must be arrangements there.

For Wells, the first option can be completely ignored, mainly the second and third options.

If he chooses two, it means that he will be led by the nose by the Io Federation, and he will inevitably lose at least tens of thousands of warships in Hillside.

But if you choose three, there will be great uncertainty. First of all, there will be a full twelve days of travel, and these twelve days are very fatal.

Wells knew that humans possessed curvature engines, and now he guessed that humans and angels were likely hooking up together, so the extra ten days of travel would be very dangerous, and it was likely that humans would be killed because of the extra ten days of travel. If the fleet intercepts, then it is not beautiful.

Therefore, compared with the uncertainty of option [-], Wells believes that Hillside is still more likely to succeed in the end, but the strategy needs to be changed.

After arriving at the Hill Race, the opponent will inevitably repeat Serbia's move, but after winning the Hill Race, he can split the fleet, march toward multiple star paths, and then split and disperse again.

In the end, there will be fleets everywhere, split into many routes and advance separately, so as long as there are a few fleets, no, even if only one fleet successfully crosses the territory of the Io Federation, it can be considered a success.

Wells is also a decisive person. After making up his mind, he immediately let the more than 20 warships that had already come out move towards Hillside's Star Road. After all, he arrived at Hillside one minute earlier, the Io Federation The fleet will have 1 minute less to deploy the defense line.

At the same time, the follow-up fleet was notified to go to Hillside immediately after leaving the Way of the Stars, and don't stop there!

In the end, half an hour after Joanna's Fifth Army entered Hillside's Way of the Stars, the front of Wells' Army also got the entrance and quickly entered it one after another.

"At present, we have entered Hillside's Star Road. At the same time, according to reports from the remaining personnel in Serbia, Wells's legion is all heading towards Hillside, which is about half an hour behind us!"

Joanna said to everyone in the conference room, the expression on her face was still anxious.

"Okay, let's assign tasks now!"

Liang Xingchen stood up, looked around the crowd and said.

"First of all, cancel Mi Horton's support plan. Commander Elena, please lead the fleet to Hillside, and I will also lead the fleet to Hillside."

"Secondly, we must be too late in time. Please Commander Joanna repeat Serbia's operation, and then choose the shortest star route to continue the evacuation."

"Finally, after our main fleet arrives at Hill Race, we will make a final battle plan according to the direction of Wells. Do you have any questions?"

"no problem!"

Everyone in the conference room stood up except Queen Elfie and responded!

Chapter 122 Fleet Split

Io Federation, star system Hillside.

More than 20 days ago, the current Queen Alfie issued an evacuation order to all residents of Hillside.

Hillside, which had a small population, evacuated everyone within ten days. Now Hillside is extremely quiet, and there is no spaceship in the void.

At this time, a large number of white battleships began to sail out of the Road of Stars in the direction of Serbia.

"Hurry up, the battleships that have already come out immediately go to the designated area, and build a defense line according to the predetermined plan, move quickly!"

In the communication channel, Joanna's voice was transmitted to the bridge of each battleship. Her voice was a little anxious. After all, the Wells Legion was only about half an hour away from her.

Half an hour later, Joanna's Fifth Legion had only completed half of the defense line, and the warships of the Wells Legion had already appeared in Hillside through the Way of the Stars.

Fortunately, only more than 2000 ships can come out in each wave. Joanna can deploy defense lines and attack at the same time, and the impact is not very big.

"Everyone, the Wells Legion has arrived in Hillside, and we are currently blocking the exit of the Way of the Stars!"

While directing the defense of the legion, Joanna started the virtual meeting and said to the others.

"Commander Joanna, as expected, we will definitely not be able to catch up with Hillside. At present, we still need 4 days to arrive. You follow the original plan, use the early defensive advantages to eliminate a group, and then continue to retreat!"

Liang Xingchen said to Joanna.

"I understand that I will retreat to Faerun after losing the defensive advantage!"

Joanna also nodded to show that she understood.

"Well, based on the time, Commander Elena should be 6 days away from arriving at Hillside. At that time, we will meet Commander Elena here, and then determine the final decisive battle method based on Wells' movements. "

"it is good!"

On the defense line, the battle between the two sides is still fierce. At present, the Wells Legion has gathered more than 1 warships at the exit of the Star Road, and Joanna's Fifth Legion has also completed the layout of the entire defense line and entered the stage of full firepower.

Various colors are constantly flashing in the entire void, every beam of light, every energy bomb is full of aura of destruction.

At this moment, the Wells Legion is still in the situation of exchanging positions with piles of battle losses, and has already paid the price of 1.5 warships. On the other hand, Joanna is relying on the defensive array and the advantage of fighting more and less. Only 3000 warships have been lost so far.

Half an hour later, at the cost of 6 warships, the Wells Legion set up an array of 8 warships outside the exit of Starway. zoom out.

According to statistics, Wells Corps lost 6 warships, while Joanna's Fifth Corps lost 1.8 warships.

Seeing that the loss of the fleet on the defense line is increasing, and there are more and more enemy fleets, Joanna knows that the time has come.

If you continue to fight, your own side's losses will soar exponentially.

"Order all fleets to start evacuating as planned, and target the entrance of the Starway in the direction of Faerun."

Following Joanna's order, the fleet on the defense line began to leave in an orderly manner according to the predetermined plan.
