Although Kabat successfully defeated Leo, Hamid also looked very unhappy after the battle losses.
Leo's garrison of the Oaks Empire: The total number of battleships is 1.6 million, and the loss is 1.6 million.
Kabat Empire Witte Front: Total number of battleships is 1 million, losses are 550,000.
Kabatexi Cyril Front: Total number of battleships is 2 million, losses are 1 million.
Kabat's captured fleet: 8,200 battleships in total, 7,800 lost.
It can be said that although the Kabate Empire captured Leo, its losses were almost the same as those of the Oaks Empire.
The key thing is that if the trapped fleet is included, the loss is simply greater than that of the Oaks Empire.
The comparison of the current military strength in the fighting areas between the two sides is as follows.
Kabate Empire:
Witte star system: 200,000
Leo star system: 1.45 million
Felton star system (the star system facing Russell): 1.5 million
Others: 300,000, heading towards the hinterland of the Oaks Empire.
Orx Empire:
Russell star system: 1.2 million
Ox star system: 200,000
Others: The Fourth Guards Corps has 300,000 troops and is heading to Horton.
If you just look at the power comparison, the combat strength of both sides has reached 3.45 million vs. 1.7 million, and the Oaks Empire is completely at a disadvantage.
In fact, in the previous battles between Werther and Horton, the Oaks Empire only suffered hundreds of thousands more battle losses than the Kabat Empire, which was not the main reason for such a difference in combat power.
The key is that the Oaks Empire borders two third-level civilizations, and a large number of troops must be stationed on the border of the Io Federation, making it impossible to fight the Kabate Empire with all its strength.
By the way, if we include humans, we are bordering three level three civilizations at the same time. Although humans have just entered level three civilizations a few decades ago, they are still very weak.
But in any case, it also contained its entire two legions of guards, with a strength of more than 700,000, although the fourth legion of the guards turned back halfway.
There is only a third-level civilization like the Oaks Empire around the Kabat Empire. The other first- and second-level civilizations are basically its affiliated civilizations and do not pose any threat. Therefore, most of the empire's forces can be mobilized to participate in the war.
Originally, with Witte, Leo, and Russell as the three main points to block the Kabat Empire, even if there was a gap in military strength, it wouldn't be a big problem.
Unfortunately, Lin Fan stepped in and gave the Kabat Empire a batch of energy shield devices, which eventually broke the balance and captured two of the three strategic locations.
The current situation is extremely unfavorable for the Oaks Empire, unless they directly abandon Russell, push the defenders to Horton and join the Fourth Guards Corps, and keep the Kabat Empire's army out of Horton.
But if we do this, it means giving up the 17 outer star systems.
You know, the Oaks Empire only has a total of 38 star systems, and it has given up 17. Even if it holds Horton, it will become weaker and weaker.
On the contrary, Kabat, with 17 more star systems, will inevitably become stronger and stronger. As time goes by, the strength gap between the two sides will completely widen.
This is also the main reason why Ramiro and Rose have never dared to retreat Leo and Russell's defenders to Horton.

Just when the Kabat Empire successfully captured Leo, the Human Federation also completed the reconstruction of the four fleets ahead of schedule.
It is already the 64th year of the Federation Calendar, and more than three years have passed since humans took back Lin Lin, Barnard, and Tianyuan Four.
During this period of time, mankind vigorously developed these three star systems. While acquiring a large amount of resources, it expanded the warship production line. Finally, in the 64th year of the Federation Calendar, the four major fleets were restored.
Among them, the Second Fleet was fully established at the beginning of the 63rd year of the Federation Calendar. Liang Xingchen's adjutant, Major General Jiang Hai, was appointed commander and was awarded the title of Lieutenant General.
The Third Fleet is headed by Lieutenant General Quint Klein from the Federation Fleet Headquarters. For Quinn, he has a close relationship with Liang Xingchen. The two were classmates and graduated from the Interstellar Military Academy together. , another second place finisher.
The difference is that after graduation, Liang Xingchen left the fleet, while Quinn went to work at the Lunar Headquarters. Lin Fan once asked Liang Xingchen his evaluation of Quinn. According to Liang Xingchen, his level was good, but his command was relatively rigid and he was good at it. Defend, but not attack!
Currently, the First, Second and Fourth Fleets among the four major fleets have assembled at Tianyuan Four. As for the Third Fleet, they have just received the last batch of warships and personnel and are expected to arrive at Tianyuan Four in a week.
Inside the Ouranos, Lin Fan was currently holding a virtual combat meeting with Liang Xingchen and Jiang Hai.
At this moment, the battle plan submitted by Lin Fan to the superiors has been approved and sent to the commanders of the four major fleets.
"Lin Fan, I've read the battle plan. There are generally no problems. I just need to confirm with you about the follow-up processing."
"Well, Commander Liang, tell me!"
"Although Horton's geographical location is good, there is only one star road connecting it externally, but it does extend in all directions internally, with four star roads. It is definitely a battleground for military strategists, and winning here is not a big problem for us. But how to deal with the millions of Kabat Empire warships? You must know that their target is definitely Horton, which is the only way for them to conquer the capital area of the Oaks Empire."
Liang Xingchen looked at the battle plan given by Lin Fan. To be honest, this plan was very bold.
First, capture the Fourth Guards Corps directly before it reaches Horton, and then wait and wait. On the Star Road defense line, use the favorable terrain and technical advantages to directly annihilate its 300,000-strong fleet.
Then they took Liers and Coelio, two star systems located in the hinterland of Orx but connected to the outside by the Star Road, cutting off all outward passages from the 12 star systems within the Orx Empire.
In the end, 12 star systems within it were captured in one fell swoop, including the capital region of Oaks.
After the entire plan is completed, the Human Federation will obtain a total of 15 star systems from the Oaks Empire, and at the same time, 3 node star systems with access to stars will be generated.
Although the Federation has restored the establishment of the four fleets, it only has 80,000 warships after all, and most of the second and third fleets are still freshly graduated soldiers. There is a big gap in combat effectiveness compared with the first and fourth fleets.
No matter in terms of the number of warships or the quality of the soldiers, they cannot face an army of millions. If Kabat's army directly attacks Horton at this time, Liang Xingchen really has no confidence that he can defend it.
Even with an energy shield, this is still the case. After all, this shield is not invincible.
"Commander, don't worry about this problem, it's been solved!"
"What?"
Lin Fan smiled confidently and said to the two of them.
But Liang Xingchen and Jiang Hai looked at Lin Fan with expressions like "You're kidding me."
