Chapter 1133 You Are the Bait, so What if I Am Not?
Year 562 of the Federal Calendar.
After more than seventy years, Montero finally returned to the territory of the Tailo Empire.
However, it would take at least another hundred years for him to return to the imperial capital and take over the assembled army.
There is no way, the third-generation black cavity engine is just so LOW.
This is also why, after hundreds of thousands or even millions of years, the four most powerful empires in the Kunsa world have only ruled dozens of universes.
It's not that they don't want to expand. One reason is that the four empires are restraining each other. Another, more important reason is that the transportation speed is limited.
The Tailo Empire only has dozens of universes, and it would take hundreds or even thousands of years to travel back and forth. If it continues to expand, it will not be able to rule even if it conquers them.
If it weren't for the fact that the Empire's fourth-generation black cavity engine had already built an experimental machine and was being tested, Montero would never have proposed to destroy those eight civilizations.
After all, it doesn't make sense at all.
However, Montero was very tired at the moment. Even after the mass production of the fourth-generation black cavity engine, there was still a huge gap compared with the Human Federation.
This speed difference of dozens of times is enough to make any of his tactics just empty talk, unless the commander of the Human Federation is a fool.
But it is obvious that according to what Carmen said back and Lin Fan's combat deployment of the Terry Empire, the other party is not a fool, and his ability is definitely not inferior to his own.
This made Montero feel a little regretful at this moment. Did he let a wolf into the house?
Of course, he also knew that even without him, the Canglong Alliance, which had such strength, would inevitably intervene in the war in other ways, and everything was unavoidable.
Now he just hopes that he can completely conquer those eight civilizations before the other party finishes dealing with the two empires. In this way, the Tailo Empire will have more bargaining chips in its hands and maintain such an alliance with the other party as long as possible.
——
While Montero was worrying about these things, the five main armies of the Tailo Empire commanded by Carmen and the vanguard of the coalition led by the Terry Empire had less than 30 black cavity units.
At the rate both sides are going, it will be another month before they come into contact and a full-blown war breaks out.
Five legions against five legions, the Terry Empire had no doubts at all.
After all, according to their intelligence, the Tailo Empire only has seven and a half legions in the Black Man Universe, plus the twenty-four legions that previously annihilated the coalition of eight civilizations. Even if it was a sneak attack, even if it was a unilateral massacre, it was twenty-four legions after all, and the Tailo Empire could not have suffered no losses.
Therefore, the fact that they are still able to mobilize five legions now is most likely all the strength they have left.
Due to the asymmetry of intelligence and the backward detection technology of the black cavity space (the four empires can only detect a distance of 50-60 standard black cavity units in the black cavity space), the supreme commander of the Terry Empire's coalition forces, Marquis
Made a misjudgment!
Let the army continue to advance in the current formation, and the five vanguard legions will engage in battle with them first. They don't seek to win, but just to delay them for seven or eight days. Then the army in the center will arrive, and with the help of the armies on both wings, they will outflank and attack, and bury the five main legions of the Tailo Empire in one fell swoop.
If the enemy was really just the five armies of the Tyro Empire, there would be nothing wrong with Marquis's tactics, but unfortunately...
Just beyond their detection, just 70 standard black cavity units away, fourteen federal legions and one biological civilization legion were ready to go, waiting for Lin Fan's order.
For the Canglong Alliance, which owns the ninth-generation black cavity engine, this distance does not even take two days.
Both sides acted according to their respective established deployments until 30 days later.
"Marshal, according to our calculations, if we set out now, we will arrive one hour after the battle begins. Do you want to order the army to move out now?"
"No, one hour is too short. Cannon fodder should be used as cannon fodder. We need to intervene when the war becomes more intense. Notify all legions to set off in two hours!"
"clear!"
Liang Xue nodded and went downstairs to convey the order.
In the pitch-dark space, fifteen legions and thousands of black cavity lives just continued to wait.
Two days later.
On the front battlefield, both sides finally finished the marathon and opened fire as soon as they came into contact.
It has to be said that after eliminating those useless commanders and being trained by Montero and Carmen for hundreds of years, the combat effectiveness of these five legions of the Tailo Empire is really strong.
In addition, Marquis and Lin Fan had the same plan and intended to use other civilizations as cannon fodder.
Therefore, the five legions in the vanguard were just other civilizations, and their combat effectiveness was weaker than that of the four empires. As a result, they were suppressed under Carmen’s command within less than an hour of the battle.
The battle loss ratio reached nearly 1:2.
Fortunately, the order Marquez gave them was not to fight to the death, but to delay the enemy for eight days and wait for the central army to arrive.
So, when they were completely on the defensive, Carmen was unable to resolve the battle as quickly as possible.
However, Carmen said she was not panicking at all.
You are the bait, so am I not the bait?
At the same time, in the flagship of the vanguard of the Terry Empire coalition.
"Commander, according to calculations, we have lost a total of 700 billion warships in this hour, while the losses on the Tailo Empire's side should be only half of ours!"
"According to the current situation, we can hold out for a month, not to mention seven or eight days. They don't stand a chance at all!"
The adjutant took the data he had just calculated and came to Killian to report.
After listening to the report, Killian nodded with satisfaction.
Don’t think that 700 billion warships are a lot. You have to know that a standard legion has 100 trillion warships, and five legions have 500 trillion warships.
Therefore, these 700 billion warships are of no use to these old civilizations.
Not every civilization is like humans, which has developed from leaving its home planet to becoming a black cavity civilization in just a few hundred years.
Although the development speed is fast enough, it also has a fatal weakness, that is, the population is too small.
However, these normal and old civilizations that have taken at least hundreds of thousands of years to reach this point do not have this problem.
In the Federation, people are more important than warships, and in their eyes, people are the least valuable, so warships are more important!
"Keep going, but keep your eyes on them. If they show any signs of retreating, go and bite them immediately!"
"Yes, Commander!"
Everything went as planned. Killian was as relaxed as if he was on an armed outing. He even had some exquisite refreshments served to him, which he enjoyed while watching the battle.
However.
"Commander, we have discovered a large number of unidentified targets outside our 32.4 standard black cavity units. Their speed is so fast that it is incomprehensible. We are expected to make contact with them in 2 hours!"
Just as Killian was enjoying his fine refreshments, a call suddenly came from the bridge crew.
A terrified sound!
