In the void, a huge fleet is advancing at cruise speed.

The strength of the rebels is not bad. The total strength of the rebels is more than three million, obeying the Queen's Imperial Guard Corps, the Xiao family's private army, all the noble private army loyal to their sect, some conventional fleets of the Empire, etc. Yu Xinzhe's five million fleet did not participate in the war, so the force is a bit thin compared to Randall's six million fleet.

The combined military strength of the two families is already a huge military force of nearly ten million! In the past, this scale was enough to destroy the regime of an ordinary superpower! And now, in order to compete for the rule of this strongest empire in Xinghai, both sides have put out all their capital and invested in this unprecedented gamble!

In the main control room of the interstellar fortress of Zeus, senior generals from both sides sat together and worked closely for a common goal.

On the huge three-dimensional star map, Marshal Yang Wentao's legion has been displayed with eye-catching red marks.

"General Wu Yankong, I wonder how much chance of winning this battle do you think we have?" General Tifall from Randall's faction asked with a smile to the former commander of the Imperial Guard Corps opposite.

Wu Yankong, who was sitting next to Xiao Wuji, replied lightly: "Half and half! You don't know that guy Yang Wentao's ability. If you want to win the victory from him, you will not be able to do it without paying some decent price!"

Next to Randall, Duke William, who looked a little nervous, said, "But they now have less than four million fleets, and there are also ours. If necessary, you can completely turn against each other. With such a big advantage, it should not be difficult to win!"

Wu Yankong smiled disdainfully and said, "Your Highness, you were in the Prison Soul Star Sea, and you had much more troops than the army of the Tiloya Empire. Why didn't you win a few decent battles?"

The two dukes of Wilbert and Baudelaire were suddenly a little ugly. At that time, the five power alliances did not make up their fortunes but could not stop the legion of Emperor Ferosis. Later, it was only after Yun Haoyu led the army into the Prison Soul Star Sea that they were relieved. This was not entirely their responsibility. They had many factions and had many political careers. Of course, they could not compete with the iron fist extended by the superpower, but it was really embarrassing to say it!

Randall smiled disconcertedly and said, "Victory and defeat are common in military affairs. Wasn't General Wu Yankong also been ruined by the strange snake of the Yanwei tribe in the Prison Soul Star Sea? Why should I take out the past?

Wu Yankong glanced at him with contempt and said nothing. He looked down on this politician from the bottom of his heart, but now both sides are in the same camp, so he can only endure it for a while.

Xiao Wuji coughed and said:

"Okay, everyone, the war is imminent, we should work together to cooperate. No matter what, we must first solve the enemy on the other side before we can talk about other things! In this battle, I suggest that General Wu Yankong be responsible for the full command. How about it?"

Another general next to Randle, Lu Ce, said in a vain or unlucky way:

"Is he sure? Don't lose all our capital! Yang Wentao is not a soft persimmon. It's almost the same to replace it with your Yu Xinzhe. Unfortunately, they don't buy your account!"

The people in the Xiao family faction looked a little bad. In this action, Yu Xinzhe disagreed with the Xiao family's approach. After the persuasion was ineffective, he held Mingzhe's plan to protect himself and refused to send troops to join the war, and refused to hand over the command of the fleet.

This made Xiao Wuji very angry, and even had the idea of ​​assassinating him to seize military power. Unfortunately, the other party's generals were not his own, and even if they did this, it would be useless. In addition, the other party was still on his own side in name, and began to demolish the bridge before crossing the river. The reputation was too ugly, which would make those officials who depended on him think that the rabbit died and the fox was sad.

Therefore, the Xiao family has taken out a lot of troops that are far inferior to Randall's side, and the reserve fleets stationed outside the major wormholes are mostly from the other factions. They have considerable advantages in terms of quantity and quality.

Randall said calmly:

"You can do it if you want to command! It's better to do this. We will hand over half of the fleet to you. For the remaining half, we can avoid Yang Wentao's army and surround the Imperial Palace! Their main forces are already concentrated here. The Imperial Palace's defense must be weak, and it is easy to win it. As long as you control the magic coffin, this action will be accomplished!"

"Divide the troops rashly, what if you fall into the opponent's plan?" Xiao Wenyue frowned.

Tifa sneered: "They have only these forces in total. No matter how tight the defense of the imperial palace is, can they be more capable than the combined attack of three million fleets?"

"Yes, as long as the imperial palace falls, the psychological defense of the royalists will completely collapse. At that time, no matter how powerful Yang Wentao is and the morale of the army is unstable, he will not think of anything else! This is called cutting off the firewood from the cauldron!" Randall smiled gently,

"We each set up a fleet of three million to fight Yang Wentao. In fact, we don't have to win. As long as we can hold the other side, we can hold the other side. When the action from the Imperial Palace is successful, the overall situation will be established. This is the least consumed method for both of us, isn't it?"

Wu Yankong felt a bad intuition in his heart. With his years of experience in leading troops, he was very dissatisfied with the self-righteous strategy that this politician had come up with. If Yang Wentao was so easy to pass on, he would not have reached his current position.

According to his vision, it should be to concentrate all the strength of both sides and first solve the opponent's main force. Even if it pays more, it is worth it. After achieving the goal, Feng Lanxi and others understood that the situation was hopeless and would naturally make the wisest choice.

However, once the troops are divided, the army's strength will not have an absolute advantage. In addition, it is normal for different factions to respond to the command and the dispatch is not effective. It is inevitable that the famous general will have an opportunity to take advantage of, and the risk of defeat will be greatly increased.

Moreover, even the legion that attacked the Imperial Palace was foolproof. With Feng Lanxi's mind, how could there be no backup plan? Maybe they would like to want you to do this and set up a trap there waiting for you to step in!

Xiao Wuji pondered for a while and said slowly: "I think the idea of ​​splitting troops to attack is feasible. Since Your Excellency Randall is willing, then do it like this! We will deal with Yang Wentao's army, but you should move faster. If you delay for a long time, the casualties will be difficult to control!"

Since the heads of both sides nodded, even if the generals below had disputes, they could only hold them in their hearts. After a moment, the huge fleet was divided into two, and the larger ones were still rushing towards Yang Wentao. The remaining ones were led by Randall himself, and circled a large circle and headed towards the third planet where the imperial palace was.

Seeing the fleet disappear into the void in the distance, Wu Yankong finally couldn't help it and quietly explained his thoughts to Xiao Wuji.

"General, don't worry," Xiao Wuji smiled meaningfully.

"Why would I not know the traps that may be there in the Imperial Palace? But he is willing to rush over and die and pave the way for us with his own legion. Why should we stop him? Isn't it more beneficial for us to die more people there?"

Wu Yankong smiled bitterly in his heart. The master seemed to have a clever idea, but in fact he was only fifty steps and one hundred steps with Randall. At least now, there were grasshoppers on the same rope on both sides. At this time, he was thinking about sabotaging each other. In the end, I was afraid that no one would end up well!

Suddenly, he regretted the decision he made.

More than half an hour later, the main forces of the fleets of both sides finally met.

Yang Wentao's military strength is only half of the opponent's army, and he has only seventeen mobile interstellar fortresses. The rebels' combined fortresses have exceeded forty, and he has nearly twice the strength advantage. Xiao Wuji feels that he should be sure to defeat the opponent and can tie the game even if he is not good. After all, Wu Yankong's ability is definitely not bad.

As soon as the two sides exchanged fire, Yang Wentao adopted a comprehensive attack with the central government assaulting, approaching the core of the rebels. Wu Yankong immediately responded and ordered his fleet to set up defenses with multiple dense defensive formations, trying to slow down the opponent's advancement speed, and at the same time began to prepare countermeasures.

After the first wave of tentative artillery fire was launched, the fleets on both sides began to attack back and forth. After dozens of rounds, the losses were roughly the same. The rebels relied on their military strength advantages, especially the numerical advantage of the interstellar fortress, which caused many casualties to Yang Wentao.

The marshal immediately took measures and focused his firepower to attack the fleet belonging to Randall's side. After just a moment, the losses rose sharply, and they could not help but hesitate when they acted. Tifall was puzzled and did not understand why he always suffered losses. He responded to Wu Yankong's offensive and defensive maneuvering commands, subconsciously slowed down half a beat, trying to see the situation clearly, but he did not want to make his side more passive!

After barely persevering for nearly an hour, Tifale finally couldn't bear it and planned to evacuate the battlefield and rest for a while. Naturally, Wu Yankong was not allowed. The two of them quarreled in the video and finally parted in a bad mood!

Seeing that the time was almost done, Yang Wentao made a quick decision to adjust the order.

Hundreds of giant warships that radiated awe-inspiring power moved into the battlefield quietly from behind. The main guns with a larger caliber than the active battleship were activated in sequence, charging, and then aiming at the rebels' interstellar fortresses in a salvo! In a blink of an eye, five mobile interstellar fortresses were hit and exploded and caught fire!

"Damn it, it's Huang Yuwei!" Wu Yankong said bitterly.

In the war a few months ago, these warships with unknown origins but comparable to those of the interstellar fortress played a crucial role. The more than 900 surviving warships are all commanded by Yang Wentao, which is undoubtedly extremely bad news for the rebels!

He had to immediately order the fleet to change its formation and retreat as a whole, and then ordered all the interstellar fortresses to concentrate their firepower against this group of deadly threats.

The method may be right, but the effect is not satisfactory. After several rounds, as more than half of the interstellar fortresses were destroyed, the fleet's casualties also increased significantly. Tifal, who suffered heavy losses, finally decided not to hold on and led his fleet to withdraw from the battlefield without authorization.
Chapter completed!
