Interstellar Soldier

Chapter 708 Dilemma
The Barak galaxy, the base camp of the main army of the Weaving Star Clan.

Although this is an extremely large star system, in addition to the main sequence star, there is also a slightly smaller companion star, and dozens of planets of different sizes, and there are countless asteroids, dwarf planets, and satellites, but In the hinterland of the Northern Alpha galaxy, the Barak galaxy is not huge, or even inconspicuous, because there are similar star systems everywhere in the vicinity, and the distance between adjacent star systems is less than ten light-years.

Due to the destructive exploitation of resources, the Barak galaxy has declined hundreds of years ago.Most of the capable residents have moved to other star systems, and those who still live here are only some small-scale populations, who have no status in the Silicon Magic Alliance.In addition, most of the planets are deserted due to the depletion of resources, and there are no silicon people to settle.Although the environment and conditions of these planets are very harsh and not suitable for survival and long-term residence, it is not a big problem for the main army of the Weaving Star Clan who are only stationed here temporarily.Because there is no need to face the original residents, the main army of the Weaving Star Clan does not have to sweep around after entering the Barak galaxy.

In fact, this is also the main reason why the main army of the Weaving Star Clan chose the Barak galaxy.

After the Human Expeditionary Army commanded by Yang Yi stopped advancing, the main force of the Weaving Star Clan rushed to the front.Although there is support and assistance from the Silicon Charm army under the command of Curia, in order not to affect the reputation of the Dragon God Queen, Curia has been staying behind the main army of the Weaving Star Clan, and is mainly responsible for taking over the captured star systems and establishing The ruling order of the Dragon God Queen is respected, so as to achieve the purpose of consolidating the rear area.Because there is no direct assistance from the Silicon Demon Legion, when choosing an attack route, the Star Soul Empress will try to avoid those star systems with many inhabitants.Under normal circumstances, the main army of the Weaving Star Clan will capture a star system with fewer inhabitants, establish an advance base, wait until the Silicon Demon army led by Curia arrives and continue to advance, and Curia will be responsible for sweeping the nearby star system.

However, the main army of the Weaving Star Clan has been in the Barak Galaxy for almost half a year.

According to the previous plan, after the main army of the Weaving Star Clan occupies the Barak galaxy, it only takes one month to complete the construction of the advance base. Curia should also lead the Silicon Demon army to arrive at this time. The main army continued to advance.Because the Silicon Charm army under the command of Curia did not arrive on time, the main army of the Weaving Star Clan did not continue to advance.Of course, there are other reasons.

That is, it is impossible to make great strides.

After capturing the Barak galaxy, the main army of the Weaving Star Clan did not stop, but strictly followed the plan, while building an advance base, while arranging scout ships to go out to detect the enemy's situation, and at the same time monitor the nearby star systems, to prepare for the next march. Get ready for action.

The discovery of the reconnaissance ship declared the end of the march.

A large number of Silicon Charm legions appeared in the nearby star system, and all of them were in full battle. On the attack route of the main force of the Weaving Star Clan, the enemy deployed three lines of defense, and each line of defense had enough troops. Huge fleet.Even in other directions, the enemy has deployed a large number of troops.Not to mention the army of silicon charms commanded by Curia, even the main army of the Weaving Star Clan may not be able to successfully capture the nearby star system.However, the Star Soul Queen did not give up her plan to continue marching.Under her arrangement, the main army of the Weaving Star Clan launched several tentative attacks in an attempt to find loopholes in the enemy's defense.

After figuring out the deployment of the enemy's troops, the Star Soul Queen also received news from the rear.

Not only was Curia's army of silicon demons under siege, but even the human expeditionary army was under attack, that is, the enemy had already started to counterattack, or was about to launch a counterattack.

Subsequently, an encounter broke out when the female warrior guards were performing a reconnaissance mission, which made the Star Soul Empress realize that it was impossible to continue advancing.That is, the female samurai guard encountered a powerful enemy. If Otis hadn't tried her best, the entire army might have been wiped out.

Obviously, it is definitely not the top battle king who can make Otis go all out and eliminate dozens of female warriors in one battle.

Combined with Otis' report, the Star Soul Empress immediately concluded that it was the Phantom Ghost Emperor who attacked the female warrior guards.

If only some top battle kings stood in front of her, the Star Soul Empress would not have any worries.You know, even the most powerful top battle king, that is, Kutum is not an opponent of the Star Soul Queen, and he is not even qualified to fight the Star Soul Queen.But the commander of the army of Simei is the Phantom Ghost King, so that's another matter.In the entire Silicon Phantom Alliance, only the Phantom Ghost King can rival the Star Soul Queen.

Of course, this also explains the reason why the army of silicon charms gathers here.

Before that, the main force of the Weaving Star Clan could be said to have advanced all the way, and even if they encountered resistance, it was not a tenacious resistance.Most of the time, the main army of the Weaving Star Clan can capture the target star system without any bloodshed, and the army of silicon demons guarding the star system will actively retreat after a little resistance, and will never rashly fight with the main army of the Weaving Star Clan decisive battle.Otherwise, the speed of the Weaving Star Clan's main army would not be so fast.

Without the commander of the war emperor, those top war kings obviously did not have the courage to stop the main force of the Weaving Star Clan.

In the same way, after the Phantom Ghost King appeared, the Star Soul Queen did not dare to underestimate the enemy, at least she couldn't advance as fast as before.

In fact, by this time, the Star Soul Empress had already sensed the threat.

Before that, the enemy retreated all the way, let alone a counterattack, not even a decent resistance. In fact, it was not fear, nor cowardice, but to lure the enemy to go deep, that is, to let the main army of the Weaving Star Clan go deep into the Northern Alpha Galaxy by actively retreating , to lengthen the logistics supply line and increase the difficulty of logistics supply. At the same time, Curia, who assisted the main force of the Weaving Star Clan, had to use more troops to control the star system along the way, so he could not invest too much troops on the front line, and could not provide for the The main force of the Weaving Star Clan provides strong support.As for the Human Expeditionary Force, it was also restrained, that is, it needed to spend more troops to maintain logistical support and ensure that the main army of the Weaving Star Clan would not be affected.

In fact, this problem has already appeared.

After capturing the Barak galaxy, the main army of the Weaving Star Clan has advanced thousands of light-years, which means that the logistics supply line has been extended by thousands of light-years.Even if the Human Expeditionary Force uses enough transport spaceships, the efficiency of transporting combat supplies to the front line is only one-tenth of that at the beginning of the attack.In order to control the rear, and also to consolidate the logistics supply line, Kuria occupied thousands of star systems along the way, and deployed heavy troops in hundreds of star systems, established dozens of transfer centers, and considerable fortresses.As a result, more than half of the tens of thousands of silicon demon legions commanded by Curia were used to carry out occupation tasks, and only more than 1 legions could be used to assist the main army of the Weaving Star Clan.Because it is in charge of the main base in the rear and is also responsible for the delivery of materials, the Human Expeditionary Force cannot send troops to the front line at all.

To put it simply, the Star Weaving Clan's main army is at the end of its strength after capturing the Barak galaxy, if not, it is almost there.

Obviously, if we continue to push forward, just the problem of logistical support will be enough to drag down the main force of the Weaving Star Clan.

Not to mention that the Star Soul Queen is not stupid, even if it is someone else, as long as she has a little brains, she can think that continuing to attack is tantamount to throwing herself into a trap.

The problem is, whether to fight or not to fight is no longer decided by the Queen of Star Soul.

Just after the female samurai guards were ambushed, the army of silicon charms changed from defense to offense and began to take the initiative to attack.Although the scale of the counterattack is not very large, it is mainly to test the opponent's reality, perhaps to draw the opponent out and create an opportunity to severely injure the opponent, but the enemy launched counterattacks in multiple directions at the same time, and they all invested enough Troops, unless the Barak Galaxy is abandoned, otherwise the enemy's counterattack must be repelled.

Obviously, the Star Soul Empress did not order a retreat.

Over the past few months, the main force of the Weaving Star Clan has not retreated, but it has not won a victory worth showing off.

The battle is going on all the time, either here or there.Although the enemy's casualties far exceeded the main force of the Weaving Star Clan, but if it was exhausted, the advantage would definitely be in the hands of the enemy.Don't forget, the Star Soul Empress only has [-] legions, and it takes a lot of time to train a warrior.In comparison, Silicon Charm Warrior is simply cannon fodder.More importantly, this is the homeland of the Silicon Charm Alliance.After the return of the Phantom Ghost Emperor, it is not difficult to recruit silicon ghost fighters at all, and in order to defend their homeland, all groups have mobilized for war.From the perspective of material consumption, as long as there is a problem with the logistics supply, even if the combat effectiveness of the Weaving Star Clan's main army is stronger, it will be difficult to maintain.

It can be said that if these fights continue, the main army of the Weaving Star Clan will be defeated sooner or later, and it will not be too long.

Don't forget, the purpose of the Star Soul Empress launching this attack is not to capture the entire Northern Alpha galaxy, let alone completely wipe out the Silicon Phantom Alliance, but to force the Phantom Ghost Emperor out.That is to say, when launching the attack, the main army of the Weaving Star Clan did not prepare for a long-term battle.

Now, the Phantom Ghost Emperor has come out, but the Star Soul Empress is facing a dilemma.

The key point is that the Phantom Ghost Emperor did not go to the front line to fight, but always hid in the rear, let alone a duel with her, the Star Soul Queen didn't even know where she was.

Obviously, unless the Star Soul Empress decides to give up, the main force of the Weaving Star Clan will soon be dragged down by the brutal war of attrition.

Give up now?
Months of brutal fighting left the Star Soul Queen with no choice.Soldiers of the Weaving Star Clan were killed every day, and warships were damaged every day, but there was no news of the Phantom Ghost Emperor.Even if the Star Soul Empress wanted to have a duel with the Phantom Ghost Emperor, she also knew that after the main army of the Weaving Star Clan was defeated, the result would be the same.To put it bluntly, if there is no powerful army, even if you find the Phantom Ghost Emperor, it will be useless.

Since the result is the same, why let Zhixing clan die in battle?
However, just when the Star Soul Queen decided to retreat, the situation changed.Lin Feng and Shen Chengwen arrived with two advance legions of the Human Expeditionary Army, and they were two legions composed entirely of soldiers.More importantly, they brought news of the Phantom Ghost Emperor.
