Chapter 1178: Cross-Border Channel, Battle for Exit (IV)

(Chapter 1173, the title chapter number is wrong!)

The deployment of more than 300 million stars is not an easy task.

Therefore, the star array can only be used for defense and cannot be used for offense.

After all, the inability to deploy quickly is its biggest flaw.

As Galt's order was issued, the entire area became busy, even the fleet that was originally serving as a guard and performing surveillance missions on the periphery.

At this moment, all of them were pulled over by Galt to help.

On average, every few hundred warships are responsible for one star. The warships surround the star from all angles and then use special devices to release a beam of light into the interior of the star.

If viewed from the outside, the star looks like it is pierced with countless sticks all over its body.

Then, these warships maintained a consistent speed and, under unified command, pulled the stars to the designated deployment location.

——

Just behind the defense line, the star array was accelerating its deployment.

At the exit of the cross-border passage, the fighting became more intense.

As more and more warships arrived, the federal fleet was no longer satisfied with just defense, but began to fight back.

The powerful firepower of the new battleships was fully demonstrated.

Even though their number did not even reach the scale of a formation, they still achieved the attack effect of a legion under the standards of the Black Church.

This once again left Willows dumbfounded.

This pagan not only has powerful black cavity life, but how come even his warships are so powerful?

While Velos was dumbfounded, Liang Xue was reporting to Lin Fan.

"Marshal, according to our long-range scanning results, we found something strange outside a black cavity unit!"

"What's going on?"

"Stars, billions of stars!"

"Stars. This is a black cavity space. Where do stars come from? Could it be that the scanning device made a mistake, or that it mistook something else for a star?"

"We have scanned three times, and the data is the same every time. What's even stranger is that these stars seem to be arranged in an array, like a fleet!"

The stars are lining up, what the hell?

Lin Fan felt like his brain wasn't enough. Was it so bizarre?

"Marshal, look!"

As she spoke, Liang Xue pulled up a scan result image. Most of the densely packed red dots had gathered together, and their positions were very neat.

Li Yan finally understood why Liang Xue said that those stars seemed to be in an array.

Isn't this just forming an array?

And those stars that have not yet arrived are also moving towards the array.

"What are those things around the stars?"

Zooming in on the scan results, Li Yan pointed at the hundreds of small red dots around a star and asked.

"According to the data analysis, it should be a battleship, and these stars seem to be moving under the pull of the battleship!"

The battleship pulled the stars to move, and then used hundreds of millions of stars to form an array in the black cavity space.

What exactly is the Black Church planning?

"Send this data to Luo Li and ask her to analyze it. What is the other party doing?"

"clear!"

In short, if you don’t understand, just ask Luo Li. After all, she was once the chief scientist of the Great Xia Federation. She must have seen almost all kinds of technology, right?

With Lin Fan's order, Liang Xue immediately transferred all the data to the Chaos Research Institute.

At the same time, on the other side.

The third mobile church of the Black Church.

"Archbishop Velos, as the enemy fleet grows in size, our casualties are increasing!"

"According to the performance data of the enemy's warships that we have collected so far, and after simulation, we found that as long as the number of the enemy's fleet gathers to a size larger than that of a formation, its firepower will quickly cause our defense line to collapse!"

A formation?

That is only one tenth of the legion. At the current rate, the other side will have this number in two hours at most.

The situation was worse than he had expected, but Velos did not shorten Galt's three hours to two.

Because he knew that three hours was the limit, and it might even be too late.

Two hours, it was just a dream.

Moreover, deploying a star array is a very delicate task, and it is not advisable to put more pressure on Galt at this time.

Otherwise, if there is any mistake or omission in the deployment, everything will be over.

"If we mobilize the sixty Crusaders in reserve to continuously fill in the defense line to maintain it, how long can we hold out like this?"

"That should last at least a day, but if we refuel like this, our losses will be horrific!"

"We have to do it no matter how big the loss is. We must buy Galt enough time to complete the deployment of the star defense array. Otherwise, even if we give up this place, where can we retreat to?"

Regroup and start again?

Does not exist.

I couldn't defeat the enemy by blocking the entrance, so I was circled out by them. Even if I could get myself together again, what could I do?

Obviously, we will be even more defeated than we are now, right?

Therefore, this passageway is the key, and it is also the place that determines the fate of the entire Black Church! ——

Two hours later.

More and more federal fleets have arrived through the cross-border channel, reaching the size of a formation, and the number has directly exceeded one trillion ships.

This number is exactly one percent of the defenders on the Black Church's defense line.

Normally, this is still not enough.

However, these warships of the Federation are different. The new warships have fully demonstrated their powerful performance in many actual combats. They are not a hundred times more powerful than the Black Vatican warships, but it is not an exaggeration to say that they are dozens of times more powerful.

Faced with such powerful warships, coupled with the increasing number of federal fleets, the fleet losses on the Black Vatican's defense line rose sharply, and as time passed, the rate of loss was getting faster and faster.

Fortunately, because of Velos's death order, no matter how many warships were destroyed on the defense line, the same number of warships would be replenished in the next moment.

They continued to fill the gap with human lives, maintaining the integrity of the defense line.

At this time, Lin Fan received Luo Li's reply.

"You said this is a method of using stars to form a large array, and then using special devices to drain the energy of all the stars in an instant and release it all at once?"

"That's right. I haven't seen this method myself, but I've only heard about it. So I spent some time analyzing and deducing it, and now I'm sure of it!"

"What about the power?"

Nodding, Lin Fan immediately asked.

This is the key issue.

"It's hard to say. It depends on the performance of the core device used by the other party. How much stellar energy can be converted? The range is very large and cannot be accurately estimated."

"But even if the worst one can only convert 10% of the energy and use it effectively, it is at least equivalent to a full-strength attack at the beginning of the third level!"

"If it can be converted to more than 90%, it can even be comparable to a full-strength attack at the peak of the fourth level!"

In the bridge, Luo Li's shadow said with a serious expression.
