Interstellar Soldier

Chapter 617 A New Beginning

Because it is close to the Greenwich Meteorite Belt and the battle a thousand years ago, the vicinity of the fortress is desolate, and the nearest star system is almost a hundred light-years away.In Shen Chengwen's words, this is a "vacuum zone", and the only valuable existence is this fortress that has been abandoned for thousands of years.If the legion is not strong enough, even if the fortress is captured, it will be difficult to capture the nearby star system.

Launching an attack across a hundred light years is by no means an easy task.

Although long-distance navigation is no longer a problem after mastering the original energy and space jump technology, but in the vast space, distance is still the biggest obstacle.Whether it is the Silicon Magic Alliance or the Milky Way Alliance, when conducting military operations, distance will be considered first.It can even be said that both sides formulate combat plans based on the distance between star systems, that is, the shortest distance to launch an attack.

If it's just a battleship, it's not difficult to fly a hundred light years.

The problem is, sending a huge army of hundreds, thousands, or even tens of thousands of legions to fight a hundred light-years away is not an easy task.Not only does it take a lot of resources to deliver the legion, but it is even more troublesome to transport equipment and supplies to the front line.The key point is that a distance of one hundred light years is definitely not close. If the normal method is used, it will take a full 1000 years for the spacecraft to fly at a speed of one tenth of the speed of light.The only feasible way is to jump in space, and it is definitely not an easy task to establish and protect routes in wartime.In fact, in the past several wars, both warring parties would spare no effort to destroy each other's routes.

From a military point of view, the party launching the attack must find ways to shorten the advancing distance of each attack, and it is best to control it within [-] light-years.If it exceeds a hundred light-years, even if the attacker has an absolute military advantage, it may not be able to guarantee the unimpeded rear route.For the defensive side, the most ideal defensive tactic is to expand the depth and widen the distance between the defensive lines, so that the offensive side has to cross a longer distance to attack.In fact, this is also a true portrayal of the past few Greenwich Wars, and it is also the key to the passive position of the Galactic Alliance, that is, the northern region of the Southern Alpha Galaxy, which is the area adjacent to the Greenwich Meteorite Belt, has a greater density of star systems. The separation distance is shorter, and it is difficult to enhance the defense by expanding the depth.The Silicon Charm Alliance was able to invade the Southern Alpha Galaxy in several wars and kill the hinterland of the Southern Alpha Galaxy. In fact, it is also related to the higher density of star systems in the Southern Alpha Galaxy.To put it simply, the scale of the Southern Alpha galaxy is slightly smaller, but it has nearly [-]% more star systems than the Northern Alpha galaxy. Therefore, the density of the star systems in the Southern Alpha galaxy is higher, and the distance between the star systems is shorter.

In fact, as early as thousands of years ago, that is, after the second Greenwich War, several civilizations proposed to destroy some star systems in the northern region and expand the distance between star systems to enhance the defense strength of the northern region , to deal with the threat from the Silicon Charm Alliance.

Although objectively speaking, this is indeed an effective method, it cannot be realized at all, because the basic structure of the Galactic Federation has been formed, and the northern region is the home of thousands of civilizations including the Human Federation, while other civilizations are obviously Reluctance to accept refugees from the Northern Region.Because thousands of civilizations are involved, and these weak civilizations are inextricably linked to top-level civilizations, the matter was left alone.

Obviously, in the Silicon Magic Alliance, there is no such problem at all.

If the coalition forces of the Galactic Federation hadn't invaded the Northern Alpha galaxy more than 1000 years ago, the vicinity of the fortress would not be so empty.

At that time, the Silicon Charm Alliance retreated across the board, not to mention blocking the coalition forces of the Galactic Alliance from the Northern Alpha Galaxy, whether it could hold its homeland was a problem.When the human legion who acted as the vanguard entered the Greenwich Meteorite Belt, the warlord of the Silicon Charm Alliance realized that there was no way to keep the human legion out of the Northern Alpha galaxy, and the local star system would soon be attacked. , if they fail to gain a firm foothold in the mainland and let the human legion go deep into the hinterland of the Northern Alpha Galaxy, the consequences will be unimaginable.It's a pity that there is nowhere to defend the Greenwich Meteorite Belt, and the advance speed of the human legion is too fast to readjust the deployment of troops.As a result, the Emperor of War personally constructed this planetary fortress, and at the same time adopted a defensive tactic of strengthening the walls and clearing the field, that is, destroying all star systems within a hundred light-years of the fortress, leaving the human legion with no choice but to attack fortress.Although this decision destroyed hundreds of star systems and killed countless silicon-based organisms in these star systems, the effect was ideal. Because the human legion had no foothold, it could not invest enough troops, so it failed to Take down the fort in time.After the fortress was devastated, the human legion lost the basis for continuing to attack, so it failed to enter the hinterland of the Northern Alpha galaxy.It can be said that if the Emperor of War did not destroy the star system near the fortress, allowing the human legion to gain a foothold to continue advancing, even if the fortress was destroyed, the Fifth Greenwich War would not end immediately, and would continue for a long time time.

Of course, after more than 1000 years, the situation in this area has undergone earth-shaking changes.

After the Fifth Greenwich War, the vicinity of the fortress was littered with small black holes and energy black holes, remnants of star systems that had perished.Although after Kutum took over, he didn't intend to repair the fortress. After all, a lonely fortress is not worth much, but when building the Greenwich defense line, Kutum still cleaned up the obstacles near the fortress, that is, those black holes.

The main thing is that the fortress is at the center of the entire defense line, and those black holes have an impact on the routes passing nearby.

Obviously, when cleaning up the black hole, Kutum definitely did not expect that the human legion would once again cross the Greenwich Meteorite Belt and enter the Northern Alpha Galaxy.

This can't be blamed on Kutum, because Kutum didn't know that the War Emperor had already disappeared.

Perhaps in the past 1000 years, the top battle kings, including Kutum, have been preparing for the war, and they all dream of avenging their shame.

In order to launch an attack, it is natural to clear the obstacles on the attack route.

that's the truth.

About [-]% of the Silicon Charm army that invaded the fourth northern district, especially the army commanded by Kutum, entered the Greenwich Meteorite Belt by using the route passing through this area, and then reached the fourth northern district.In addition, when retreating, many legions also returned to the Northern Alpha Galaxy.

But now, it's Yang Yi's turn to take advantage of this favorable factor.

Of course, it is beneficial to say that it is only relative, that is, there is no threatening black hole nearby, and the unfavorable factor also exists, that is, the distance is too far away.

Not to mention the main force of the Milky Way Alliance, even the human expeditionary force may not be able to successfully reach the star system a hundred light-years away.In the case of limited troops, it is obviously more difficult to ensure the safety of this hundred-light-year-long logistics supply line.

Fortunately, Yang Yi didn't plan to take the expeditionary army on an adventure, and there was no need for it.

For him, it is no trouble to reach a star system a hundred light-years away by space jumping.

Don't forget, Yang Yi has an emperor-level fighter, Lin Feng also has one, and the little one who can control the space, and the twelfth-level blue dragon.

To be on the safe side, Yang Yi and Lin Feng took the first step, the soldiers led by Shen Chengwen followed behind, and Barnes stayed inside the fortress.Yang Yi asked Barnes to help, but hoped that Barnes could stay and guard the fort to deal with possible attacks.According to Yang Yi's judgment, after they marched into the nearby star system and won the victory, not to mention the top battle kings, even those who are not very strong will be moved by the news.If the top battle king sends troops again, he will definitely attack the fortress, because this is the best tactic to force back the human expeditionary army.As long as the fortress is laid down, the human expeditionary force can only abandon the occupied star system because of the instability in the rear.

This is a very simple truth, of course Barnes is aware of the seriousness of it, so after Yang Yi raised it, he immediately agreed and patted his chest to promise that as long as he is still alive, the fortress will not fall into the hands of the enemy , Let Yang Yi feel at ease and boldly attack the enemy's star system.

In fact, Yang Yi just didn't want Barnes to be present.

Very simple, it was Yang Yi who attacked the star system, but it was not Yang Yi who occupied and controlled the star system next, but Kuria, who had already received the order.

In any case, Yang Yi is a human being, not a silicon-based creature.

Even if Yang Yi tamed a twelfth-level blue dragon, and it was Lombardo's blue dragon, his identity could not be changed, and it was even more impossible for him to be recognized by silicon-based creatures.

What Yang Yi has to do is to use this time to help Curia unify the entire jurisdiction and remove the obstacles that prevent Curia from becoming a top battle king.According to Yang Yi, only when Kuria develops and grows can they gain a firm foothold in the Northern Alpha Galaxy and advance to the hinterland of the Northern Alpha Galaxy.As for whether Curia is reliable, in Yang Yi's opinion, it is not a problem at all, because he has once again proved his strength.As long as Curia is not very stupid, he won't follow Yang Yi, who defeated two top battle kings and tamed a twelfth-level wild blue dragon that was once the battle king's car and later owned by Lombardo.Besides, Kuria has been actively cooperating, and he is even more obedient to Yang Yi.

Because Barnes did not follow, and the large army led by Shen Chengwen was still behind, Yang Yi was not in a hurry, and there was no need to be in a hurry.The point is that Curia also needs some time to mobilize the Silicon Charm Army, so Yang Yi has to slow down so that he can arrive in time.

"Thorn Galaxy" is Yang Yi's first stop, and it is also the beginning of a new journey.

In the lingua franca of the Silicon Magic Alliance, "thorn" means "land of the dead"/This star system is indeed a land of death, at least for silicon-based life.Just from another perspective, the Thorne galaxy can be said to be the most ideal place for the human expeditionary force to gain a foothold.
