Fourteen days later, border node, star system Venn.
At this moment, the Serra Empire's army was resting, but Basel was very cautious. He did not do what the Kabate Empire did, but divided it into many batches to allow the fleet to maintain its combat capability to the greatest extent.
After all, anything can happen in an interstellar war. As a qualified general, no matter what the situation, letting down your guard is a major dereliction of duty!
It can be said that if an enemy comes to attack at this time, the combat effectiveness of the Serra Empire's army will not be affected too much.
In the orbit of Venn II, there is a 15-million-ton heavy battleship.
"Adjutant, how long will it take for the soldiers to complete their rest?"
"General Basel, based on the current progress, it is estimated that the rest plan will be completed in ten days!"
"Very good, order the fleet not to let down its guard and be ready for battle at any time!"
"Yes, General Basel!"
Before the combined fleet set off for Wien, Lin Fan, Liang Xingchen and Elena studied the Serra army currently occupying Wien.
The rigorous formation and cautious attitude made the three of them understand that the opponent's commander must be a very experienced general. A sneak attack would most likely not achieve the desired results, and could even have the opposite effect if not careful.
After all, there are huge numbers there, and there are nearly 120,000 fourth-level civilization warships.
For Liang Xingchen and Lin Fan, what they want is not to win, but to win at the minimum cost.
Humanity's current population is so small that it cannot withstand too much loss. They are no better than the Io Federation. After losing a few legions, they can immediately gather enough people to rebuild these legions.
Therefore, the coalition forces directly gave up the option of sneak attack, and instead adopted a combat method of luring the enemy in depth. The Queen's Guards Corps performed a show and completely took advantage of the speed difference between the Serra Empire warship and the Babawi Empire foreign trade warship, knocking them 12 Ten Thousand Shield Battleships will be lured out first to encircle and annihilate them!
As mentioned before, Venn is one of the three nodes bordering the Io Federation and the Serra Empire. The two nodes next to it are Aldo and Fenn.
According to the data returned by the monitoring equipment, it can be found that Serra's army has not established defense lines in various star paths. It should be that its commander believes that it is safer to gather its troops together than to disperse its troops to various star paths.
After all, Venn has six Star Paths, and the strength in his hands is absolutely crushing to the Io Federation.
Therefore, Basel did not want to give the Io Federation any opportunities to take advantage of because of the division of troops. If someone really attacked through the Star Road, he only had to lead an army to suppress it.
But this situation gave Lin Fan and others an opportunity to take advantage of!
At the exit of Venn and Aldo's Star Path, the void shrank, and then 3,000 warships appeared here.
This situation was immediately captured by Serra’s army!
"General Basel, at the exit of the Star Road in the direction of Aldo, there are 3,000 Io Federation warships!"
"Hmm? Aldo direction?"
"Yes, General Basel...Information update, there are currently 3,000 more ships, 6,000 in number!"
Basel frowned, this situation was a bit unexpected.
Aldo is 5.6 light years away from Venn, and it takes nearly 2 years to travel to the stars. Could it be that the fleet that set off from Aldo 2 years ago has just arrived now
Is it a defense change mission? If they really set out 2 years ago, then they may not have received news of the fall of Wien yet. After all, it has only been more than a month.
No matter why you came, since you are here, there is no reason not to stay.
"Order all the soldiers on the planet to return to the battleship immediately. The fleet will attack in twenty minutes, heading towards the road to Aldo Star."
"Yes, General Basel."
At the exit of Aldo's Star Road, the rhythm was still maintained, with 3,000 warships appearing every half minute.
When the Serra army began to dispatch twenty minutes later, the number of Io Federation warships at the exit of the Star Road had reached 120,000. As if they had discovered that something was wrong, they began to hurriedly deploy in the direction of the Serra Empire army!
When Basel saw this situation, he breathed a sigh of relief.
It seems that the fleet really set off from Aldo a few years ago. It was bad luck and it happened to hit the fall of Wien when it arrived.
However, the Serra army is not close to the Star Road in the direction of Aldo. The fleet needs a full hour to get there and cannot immediately attack the Io Federation fleet.
More than thirty minutes later, the number of battleships in the Io Federation had reached 200,000. At this time, the entire fleet gave up its defensive formation and fled towards the star path of Aura (that is, the direction Bernice retreated from).
"General Basel, the opponent should have all left the Star Road. The total number is 200,000. They are currently fleeing towards the entrance of the Aura Star Road. They are expected to arrive at the entrance of the Aola Star Road in forty minutes! According to the current marching speed of the fleet, Can’t catch up!”
Listening to the adjutant's report, Basel frowned again.
He could understand the opponent's operation. After all, the battleships of the Io Federation were very fast and could reach a speed of 8,000 kilometers per second, which was similar to the battle speed of the Serra Empire.
Without knowing that we have the Royal Guards Corps (a regiment established by the Serra Empire using the foreign trade warships of the Babavi Empire), this choice is quite normal. After all, normally, we cannot successfully catch up with them. Intercepted.
However, with a nearly invincible Royal Guard fleet in his hands, the situation is completely different. He can completely stop the opponent, and then attack them from both front and back to completely defeat them!
"Order the Royal Guards Fleet to immediately turn on the engines, catch up, and stop them before they reach the entrance to the Aura Star!"
"Yes, General Basel!"
After all, the warships of the Royal Guards Fleet can reach speeds of 30,000 kilometers per second, so it is relatively easy to stop the opponent!
Soon, the Royal Guards Fleet relied on its terrifying speed to throw away the main fleet behind it, and sailed towards the entrance of the Aura Star Road at high speed!
More than thirty minutes later, the Royal Guards Fleet of the Serra Empire arrived at the predetermined location first, with its back to the entrance to the Aura Star Road, and an interception array was arranged! The path for the Io Federation fleet to enter the Star Road was completely blocked.
At this moment, the Io Federation's fleet was less than 3 million kilometers away from the entrance to the Star Road. However, this fleet did not immediately change its course and flee to other Star Roads as Basel expected.
Instead, they opened fire at the Royal Guards Fleet at the entrance to the Star Road.
This made Basel a little confused. Did he want to rush in
The more Basel thinks about it, the more likely it becomes.
