A few days later, the Silicon Magic army arrived.
The first to arrive, and the first to attack was the Lombardo commander's fleet, to be precise, the fleet sent by Lombardo, because the flagship of the fleet was not the "Naobi".
After a lot of indiscriminate bombing, the Silicon Magic Army launched an offensive.
In fact, the bombing is of little significance. The fortress is a planet. Relatively speaking, more than 10,000 human soldiers are just dusty existence. Not to mention that you cannot directly destroy the fortress. Even if you destroy the fortress, you cannot kill the soldiers. The bombs dropped by the warships pose almost zero threat to the soldiers.
Obviously, the bombing was just going through the field, or in other words, emboldening the Silicon Charm fighters who launched the attack.
With the Simei Legion landing in the fortress, the battle officially started.
It must be admitted that the King Grace, who was drawn to the top of the lottery, has indeed paid his blood. The first batch of the Silicon Charm Legion to land has exceeded one hundred, and it seems that they are going to lay down the fortress in one go and eliminate all the human soldiers on it. Unfortunately, Grace is obviously too confident.
Before the second batch of Silicon Magic Army was put into battle, the first batch of Silicon Magic Army that landed in the fort was hit hard.
After receiving the news, Grace couldn't believe it.
However, what happened next made him realize that he was not only facing human soldiers here, but also an extremely powerful existence, a strength close to the war king, at least as good as the top war king. Existence, the strongest existence of a galactic alliance.
Prince Cardoso of the Hidden Spirit Race!
The news did not come from the legion that landed in the fortress, but from the rear, from Lombardo.
Grace knew that there must be conclusive evidence, and Lombardo would remind him and tell him to temporarily stop the offensive and leave the second legion behind.
An existence equivalent to the top warlord means that it cannot be defeated.
You know, if the enemy is Lombardo, no matter how much Legion Grace throws in, it is impossible to win. With the powerful strength of the top warlord, all the Silicon Charm fighters of a legion can be killed by raising their hands and feet. Under unrestricted circumstances, no amount of Silicon Charm Legion can be used to defeat the top champion.
Grace knew it well, so he suspended the offense in accordance with Lombardo's request.
Of course, the battle did not end.
When Grace let the second legion stay, the fleet sent by Lombardo stepped up and took on the task of blocking the fortress.
But what to do next, Grace didn't know.
Of course, Grace couldn't figure it out.
Just as the fleet rushed up and continued to bomb the fortress, the battleship Grace was on was attacked without warning.
The attack came too suddenly, not to mention Grace, even Lombardo did not react.
Although the Naobi flagship was not dispatched, Lombardo did not look on the sidelines, but followed the fleet to the vicinity of the fortress. I didn't dispatch the flagship, but I didn't want to be too ostentatious. After all, it wasn't just the warlords who belonged to Kutum such as Curia who were staring at this battle, but also the top warlords such as Dibabu. Lombardo knows very well that if he is too eye-catching here, other top warlords will intervene.
When Grace's flagship was attacked and destroyed in one fell swoop, Lombardo was considering how to let Grace or Jordan lay the fort without being suspected by other top warlords. Because of the emergence of Barnes, this originally uncomplicated problem has now become a bit tricky.
Obviously, neither Grace nor Jordan is an opponent of Barnes.
Do it yourself
Leaving aside Lombardo’s confidence in defeating Barnes, even if he does, he can’t take it rashly, because as long as Lombardo personally goes up, it is equivalent to handing over the reasons for intervening in this battle to the hands of other top warlords. Loses the power to lead this battle.
Besides, Barnes is the Kadozu prince of the Hidden Spirit Race and the heir to the throne of the Hidden Spirit Race, possessing the strength that is absolutely no less than the top warlord.
After receiving the news, Lombardo was stunned on the spot.
It was Barnes who launched the attack
If it is, there is naturally no suspense.
With the strength of Barnes, destroying Grace's flagship in one fell swoop, it is certainly not difficult to kill Grace.
The problem is that before that, Barnes fought in the fortress, at least the news that Lombardo received was that Barnes was assisting the human soldiers in the fortress.
Could it be said that there is still a powerful existence comparable to Barnes
how is this possible!
You know, in the Galaxy Alliance, Barnes is close to invincible existence, second only to a few imperial powers. Even in the Silicon Charm Alliance, only the King of War has absolute certainty to kill Barnes, and even the top warlord like Lombardo does not have an absolute advantage in strength.
Obviously, there is definitely no imperial powerhouse in the fortress.
It must be Barnes!
Obviously, Barnes is the only one who stands in front of the Silicon Magic army. If you want to lay down the fortress and eliminate the human soldiers occupying the fortress, you must first solve this problem. Even if you can't kill Barnes, you have to find a way to get him away. As long as he is still in the fortress, he can't get down the fortress, at least warlords like Grace and Jordan can't get down the fortress. Although Lombardo had strong confidence in his own strength, he knew very well that he could at least not enter the battle himself before he came forward. It's just that if he stepped out to lead Barnes away, there wouldn't be a big problem, at least the top warlords of Dibabe wouldn't use this as a reason to send troops to the war.
In fact, only Lombardo can draw Barnes out.
Grace is dead and it is Jordan's turn to play. Obviously, Jordan and Grace were half-hearted, even if they were defensive, they could not lead Barnes out of the fortress if they were not killed by Barnes. As long as Barnes is fighting in the fortress, no amount of Silicon Charm Legion will be able to take down the fortress.
An existence close to the Emperor of War can easily kill thousands of Silicon Charm Legions.
After thinking about it, Lombardo also made a decision.
While asking Jordan to send the Legion over to prepare for battle, Lombardo transferred the battleship Naobi from the rear.
That is not only his flagship, but also his status symbol.
More importantly, Lombardo is very clear that the key is not how to deal with Barnes, but to lay the fortress, to be precise, to help Jordan lay the fortress.
If Jordan fails, it is time for Curia to enter the battle.
Although according to Lombardo's judgment, Curia could not defeat Barnes, but Lombardo also knew that as long as Curia was in battle, the battle would be out of control and he would no longer be in control. In other words, Jordan can only win, not defeat, and Jordan must be the final winner.
Lombard had to choose between dealing with Barnes and assisting Jordan.
Fortunately, this is not a difficult choice.
Quite simply, Lombardo is just the top champion, there is no absolute certainty to defeat Barnes. More importantly, Barnes is the prince of the Hidden Spirit Race and the first heir to the throne. Even if Lombardo had a simple mind, he could still think that the consequences of killing Barnes would be extremely serious. If the hidden spirit race is therefore allowed to fully participate in the war and form an alliance with the human federation and the star weaver race, the galactic alliance will be united. At least most of the civilizations will be united with the hidden spirit race and the star weaver family, thus erupting unprecedented war strength. At that time, even if the Emperor of War came out to unify the Silicon Magic Alliance, it may not be able to take advantage, and may even suffer a disastrous failure.
What Lombardo had to do was to draw Barnes out, and then Jordan commander the Simei Army to capture the fortress. Lombardo knew very well that Barnes was only assisting the human expeditionary force. After the fortress was occupied by the Simei Army, Barnes naturally had no reason to continue to lead the human expeditionary force. More importantly, the failure suffered here will inevitably have an impact on the hidden spirit race, and it is also possible to keep the hidden spirit race out of the picture.
In addition, Lombardo has enough reasons to believe that as long as he personally comes forward, it is not difficult to induce Barnes.
After the arrival of the Naobi, Lombardo gave orders to Jordan, who had already arrived, and could only launch an attack after receiving orders from him. Before that, everyone had to stay outside honestly, and definitely not send legions to the fortress rashly.
However, Lombardo was not arrogant enough to go directly to the trouble of Barnes.
After receiving Jordan’s reply, Lombardo made adjustments to the deployment of the fleet, leaving only a few warships to bomb the fortress and support Jordan’s attack on the fortress. All other warships withdrew back, and then centered on the "Neobi". , Formed a huge fleet.
In fact, for Lombardo, the biggest capital is the fleet.
No matter how strong Barnes is, he is only one person. Even if thousands of Silicon Charm Legions can be wiped out with their powerful combat power, no matter how powerful they are on the space battlefield, they are definitely not an opponent of a huge fleet. Besides, Barnes is only close to the imperial-level powerhouse, not the real imperial-level powerhouse. Even if he owns the Imperial class fighter, he can only deal with a few capital ships at most, and it is absolutely impossible to defeat a fleet headed by the "Naomi". Don't forget, the "Naomi" used to be the flagship of the Emperor of War, and it can also be regarded as the most powerful warship of the Silicon Magic Alliance. If measured by combat power, the "Naomi" is comparable to the "Mother", surpassing the flagships of the Lei Ling and the Hidden Spirits.
Relying on the "Naobi", Lombardo has enough confidence to deal with Barnes, at least to force Barnes back.
As long as Barnes is pushed back, nothing else is a problem.
After making all the preparations, Lombardo came to the "Naobi" and immediately issued a combat order to let the fleet march towards the fortress.
Not to attack the fortress, but to create pressure on Barnes and force Barnes out.
Of course, in order to achieve this goal, Lombardo issued a combat order and an order to attack the fortress. In his opinion, as long as he assumes a posture of destroying the fortress, Barnes will come forward to fight, and will never abandon the tens of thousands of human soldiers in the fortress at this time.
Because it is not far from the fortress, the fleet did not make a space jump and flew to the fortress in a conventional manner.
The speed is not fast, it takes some time, but in Lombardo's view, time is not a problem, as long as Jordan is still on the battlefield, Curia will not be able to play.
