Him and their stars.

Chapter 1764: Magnificent Disintegration

Ten minutes later, a high-level military meeting of the Imperial Army was formally held online again.

Although the battle inside the fortress was still going on, the entire battle of Sai De, and even the seesaw battle on the far shore that had blocked the Imperial Army for more than half a year, had indeed come to an end. So, even if it was just for the sake of ceremony, you should do some finishing work.

However, compared to the full fighting spirit before the war, everyone's state this time was a little subtle. They were not depressed, nor were they sluggish, but they were far from the excited and excited state of the victors. In fact, everyone in the conference room, from the marshal to the squadron commander, had a faint sense of fatigue and a sense of relief on their faces.

The Galactic Empire originally thought that their fight against the Blue Star Community's government would be like an elegant hunt, a ritual of depriving life.

But in the end, the elegant Dragon King was finally dragged into the mud. Even though he barely gained the upper hand, his face was covered with mud, and he could no longer exert his majestic power.

Now, this terrible battle that had made the traditional imperial army generals restless has finally come to an end. Everyone can take a breath and go pick up the beads of their necklaces scattered on the ground in the mud.

Of course, there are always exceptions.

The youngest person present, King Solayen, who was on the Xiaolong, slowly clenched his fist hidden under the table. In the attack on the fortress just now, he had made the greatest contribution. The main gun of his Xiaolong accurately hit the fortress, tearing open the target's armor and creating an excellent result for his landing.

As a result, he even received a joint letter of commendation from the Privy Council and the House of Heraldry from 20,000 light years away, as if a shining star was about to rise in the Chenxi Royal Family.

But now King Solayen had no intention of being complacent. His chest was filled with anger, but he really didn't know how to explode, who to explode at, and he couldn't even describe the source of his anger. He could only force himself to maintain basic calm.

It's a pity that as a young man in his early twenties, his acting skills are not that good. Who of the experienced veterans on the scene can't see the state of the young man? They just pretended that they couldn't see it at all.

After the greetings, there was a brief silence of a few seconds.

So, the first person to speak was Admiral Rosaneo. This old veteran has always been a serious and stern person, and with his qualifications, he didn't care about offending anyone.

He slowed down his tone, still as solemn as a machine: "We are still a step late, and let most of the Earth's main battleships go. However, this may be what everyone wants to see. None of us actually want to face a 'Dawnbreaker' trapped and dead in the fortress."

King Shazamon smiled bitterly, but still explained: "...Sir, we must admit a reality. We have lost too many loyal and brave imperial soldiers in front of him. Now, the voices that think that the fighting power of the imperial army is just so-so are actually brewing in the dark of various galaxies in the universe. Even though we just conquered the Circassians, are they really so submissive?"

"We cannot be said to have conquered the Circassians. We merely carried out a successful sneak attack. The Circassian Kingdom is also a country with a strong military. I'm afraid many people will be resentful." Marshal Ikenroga said.

The King nodded slightly, "Indeed. I just received news that several Cherk warlords are connecting with each other and preparing to unite and march to Katun."

King Sorain added coldly: "Before we attacked the Earthlings, the Cherks were already very dishonest. After we attacked the Earthlings, the Cherks are still dishonest. Didn't we attack the Earthlings in vain?"

After saying this, he himself felt that his logic was a bit off, and said with a straight face: "What kind of rotten fish, rotten shrimp, green-haired turtle dares to come and touch the real dragon? I must use a heavy punch!"

"Someone will come and strike hard, but this is not what we have been thinking about all this time." The Sand King lightly skipped over this topic and said, "In short, our goal is not to kill the Dawn Dragon, but to conquer the Earth. Let this glorious territory that originally belonged to His Majesty the Emperor return to the embrace of the Empire."

"Uncle Wang, I thought our goal was to force the Community to surrender and hand over the entire Dawn Nebula to us." King Soleon said dimly.

"You have attended the Privy Council meeting. How could you not know?"

"..."

"Oh, by the way, you didn't attend the meeting before the war." King Sand said.

The two electors stared at each other expressionlessly for several seconds. Finally, the younger one let out a long breath and calmed down completely.

It is still unclear whether the young King Sore will become a future famous general and pillar of the army as expected by the various leaders of the empire and His Majesty the Emperor, but this battle at least fully honed his qualities.

Admiral Rosaneo said, "Your Highness, I am not blaming you. In fact, the fleet I led failed to break through the Earthlings' defenses in time and failed to suppress the enemy's main force from the flank. This gave the Earthlings a chance to retreat safely."

King Shazamen showed a guilty expression and was about to say something, but the Admiral said, "I just want to remind you that it was because of our incompetence that we let General Yu Lian and his main force of the Earth Fleet escape. Don't deceive yourself with the words 'more comprehensive plan'."

Although Sand King was almost mocked in the face, he could only reveal an awkward but polite and guilty smile, with a typical smile that showed a willingness to learn and sincere reflection, as if it was taken directly from a well-tested emoticon library.

Marshal Ikenroga finally spoke: "Now that things have come to this, let's focus on the work ahead."

The Imperial Army Marshal on the Shikishin is still a commander who is magnanimous, generous, and even a little indulgent. However, under realistic conditions, such a generous elder is actually the commander who can best relieve the pressure on the Imperial Army soldiers, and is naturally the best commander.

"Once the Far Shore is breached, the vast starry sky from Sai De to Nan Tian Men will be undefended. Everyone, I need to see the attack plan for the major interstellar shipping nodes and settlements in the Far Shore star region of the community within 24 hours. I believe you all know the situation of the battle of Yao Chi in the New World. There is no shortage of similar settlements in this nebula." He said. "What about the New Shenzhou?" Admiral Rosaneo asked.

"A star region with a total population of only a few hundred million is not as good as a planet in the heart of the empire." The Sand King explained: "But this place is somewhat strange and difficult. I think it is even more difficult to deal with than Earth."

A target that is difficult to deal with but has little strategic value? Marshal Ikenroga paused for a moment and said thoughtfully, "Seal the exit of the Shanhai Channel as quickly as possible. At least make sure that the small number of Earth troops there will not harass our supply lines."

"We must also prevent the main force of the Earth fleet from fleeing there." Admiral Rosaneo said.

"Will he do this? Will he abandon his allies in Nantianmen and the Earth and flee to New Shenzhou to become a local emperor?" King Soleon found it difficult to understand.

"We cannot rule out this possibility. This way, we can at least save most of the Earthlings' battleships. Even if the Earth is captured, they still have the capital to negotiate with us. Even if the Community is destroyed, they still have enough appeal to their own army. There is no doubt about this, right?" King Shazamon pondered for a moment, and then said, "It would be more beneficial for them if we captured the Earth."

"The one in charge of the attack on Earth is, um... this..."

Everyone remembered that the one who was preparing to launch a massive attack on the Earth was Brunhild, the King of Suliuca, who was in the Chelo Fortress.

Thinking of some rumors that were almost universally acknowledged, everyone suddenly felt that they had discovered a blind spot, a blind spot that made them shudder with fear.

However, if they continued to think in this direction, they would definitely become traitors, so the senior generals of the Imperial Army quickly stopped their wild thoughts.

Marshal Ikenroga said: "If possible, quickly cut off the Shanhai Channel and prevent the main force of the Earth Fleet from fleeing in this direction. Your Highness, can you do it?"

King Shazamon stood up, opened his terminal, and called up the list of ships: "Our general reserve is intact, the soldiers are in high spirits and strong, and the ships are in good condition. They also include two Albarosa-class and four Flame Dragon-class dreadnoughts, as well as fourteen battlecruisers and eight aircraft carriers. The total force is even greater than the enemy's main force that is escaping. They can start chasing immediately. My suggestion is to divide the fleet into four formations and quickly start chasing separately!"

"There is a possibility that we will be defeated one by one." Admiral Rosaneo said.

King Sand nodded slightly. "We can't rule out this danger. So, what I mean is, don't pursue too closely, keep the fleets in sync, and look for opportunities to harass and attack the enemy fleet. Force them to get tired, get injured, and reveal their flaws. Our average speed is definitely higher than the severely damaged Earth fleet. As long as the commanders are careful, there won't be much danger. The Milky Way is not the New World, and the route information is transparent to both sides. Even he has no room to play hide-and-seek with us. Besides, the enemy's ships are definitely not capable of doing this."

In short, the pursuit fleet composed of the general reserve should slowly chase the Earth fleet into the far-shore star area. There is no need to engage in any dangerous fleet combat. Instead, it should change direction and head straight for the mountain and sea waterway.

At this time, the exhausted Earth fleet will be caught in a dilemma.

King Shazamon's eyes were bright and his words were firm: "I believe that people are not stubborn stones after all. No matter how brave the soldiers are or how unyielding their souls are, physical fatigue can never be eliminated, and the accumulated damage on the warships will even show up earlier than people. Compared with being defeated by the enemy one by one, they are more likely to expose their flaws and suffer losses. In addition, the main force of our fleet here should also set off immediately after a quick rest. The main force of the fleet should take the shortest distance to take the New Shuntian System. In this way, the Earth Fleet will lose its largest military base in the rear."

“In the final analysis, we must not give him any chance to breathe,” Marshal Ikenroga concluded.

The senior generals exchanged opinions and felt that this arrangement was prudent. It might be a little risky, but how could war be risk-free?

If they were more conservative, they would just stick together and guard more than 3,000 warships like turtles.

"However, priorities must be established. I have always believed that killing or capturing the 'Dawn Dragon' is the most meaningful strategic goal. It should be given priority even over retaking the Pilgrimage. Do you have any objections?" Marshal Ikenroga asked.

The senior generals almost didn't think much and said that the Marshal was right!

King Solayen stood up and said, "I request that you start replenishing supplies and resting first. After the pursuit fleet, the second batch will set off."

Marshal Ikenroga responded with a gratified look: "Well, that's it. You must select elite soldiers and generals for your fleet."

"Please rest assured that young generals like Jaeger Sobek, who are both wise and brave, did not participate in the attack on the fortress just now. They are needed at this time."

"I know this young man. Very good. This is the future of the empire..."

The marshal was about to say this when he suddenly felt something and looked towards the porthole. At this time, his adjutant had already run over quickly, with obvious shock on his face.

In fact, it wasn't just him, all the senior generals present also vaguely sensed something. The youngest King Solayen even left the room, opened the door to the conference room, and after reaching the porthole, he looked in shock at the not-so-far-away void.

They saw with their own eyes that fire overflowed from beneath the transparent fluid metal that enveloped the irregular cylindrical fortress, and the blazing red light instantly covered the sparkling starlight on the transparent scene.

The commanders of the Imperial Army, who came from all age groups, watched helplessly as the target that they had spent half a year to capture began to disintegrate in front of their eyes.
