"The three reconnaissance formations are silent? Huh~, do you want to completely solve the problem before we are fully prepared?" Holmes looked at the position of the reconnaissance formation that lost contact on the star map and couldn't help but frowning.

As a Hades Guard who is very good at arranging troops, this time he was temporarily assigned an important task. He was also responsible for peak combat and top-level command. Yan Ran's own deputy also achieved quite good results in this aspect, but once he was

If it is contained, the war situation will definitely move towards the unfavorable side.

Moreover, our current number and scale of warships are barely half that of the opponent's, and our defense system has been almost completely lost in previous wars. Even defensive battles are extremely difficult. Once the remaining defense system is completely collapsed, the fleet will be defeated.

If it breaks up, the empire will definitely give up this rich mining area.

This is a stain on his own honor. Although he is only ranked 22nd among the Hades, due to his excellent military management ability, his status is no worse than that of the top-ranked Hades, or even better.

Originally, if everything was normal, we should be able to send two people over this time, one to take command and the other to attack.

However, the loss of three single-digit figures in the Charon Guards made almost everyone of the Charon Guards, who had important responsibilities, suddenly become nervous. They wanted to temporarily dispatch reinforcements to hand over the tasks. It is estimated that it will take some time.

Time will do.

"Berenthust, hey~, I underestimated your wildness before. Do you want to pay the price of suffering heavy losses in exchange for our complete withdrawal? I can't let you be so happy, but the fourth guardian

Knight, this is a troublesome guy." Holmes looked at the star map in front of him with some wandering eyes, and then fell into deep thought. "Well~, we can solve our patrol so obviously, don't we tell the other party clearly that we

Are you here? But I guess there is no other way. In terms of the competition of hard power between the two sides, we do have a big advantage. Even if the other party knows about it, as long as we don't want to give up this large mining area, we have to bite the bullet and hold on.

That's right." Li Xuan has not made any achievements in formal space warfare, but this does not prevent him from pondering some issues.

Li Xuan also knows that he does not need to be very proficient in this area, but some necessary basic understanding is needed.

In the starry sky battlefield, both the offensive and defensive sides are very particular. The defensive side needs to use fortifications to the greatest extent possible to fight against the attackers, while the attacking side needs to find the weakest point of the fortifications.

At the same time, although this star field itself has a radius of half a light-year, most of the interior is scattered with meteorite mining areas, and there are not many locations suitable for the defense headquarters of such a large-scale group fleet.

Originally, both sides had already seized all these defense points, but due to the Fifth Fleet's deadly attack regardless of losses and the use of Berenshuster's own tactics, the Prudential Empire was left with only the last remaining defense points in front of them.

There is a large defensive point, and there are some other small and medium-sized ones.

However, if this most important defense point collapses, and other defense points are fighting independently without receiving support, they will only be slowly eroded. This can also officially declare that the Pulu Empire is out of the battle for this mining area.

The goal this time is quite clear. It can even be said to be simple. It is to rely on the superiority in combat power to fight a decisive battle with the opponent's main force. Want to retreat? Yes, if the defense point is gone, it will be fine. In Li Xuan's opinion, if the fleet really sneaks up on Momo's sneak attack.

When it comes to the opponent, because the opponent is not fully prepared, the possibility of giving up and retreating is not small. After all, the disputed area in the entire Graeme Star Territory is not just this mining area.

However, the opponent's reconnaissance formations are being continuously removed all the way. According to the scope of the missing formation, the opponent should be able to understand the direction of the Fifth Fleet's attack. The possibility of taking some targeted measures and choosing to hold on will undoubtedly increase a lot.

Or maybe this was the original plan of Berenshuest, to wipe out the opponent's new force so that they could not go to other star fields for support?

After thinking of this, Li Xuan also leaned on the flagship deck of the battleship and rubbed his chin.

The total number of watchers on both sides in this star field was originally about thirty. During the period of exchange of fire and contact before the peace talks were confirmed, not a single watcher died. At most, it was the Broken Realm.

It was just the injuries that were sent back.

However, in less than a month, the fighting situation here has suddenly become extremely intense. The Galaxy Alliance has lost four watchmen, the Prudential Empire has lost five, plus some who were injured and temporarily lost their combat effectiveness.

At this time, the number of ordinary watchmen on both sides who can participate in the battle is probably six or seven each.

There are only this number of Watchers in a fleet of this size. In fact, we can see how precious the Watchers are. In the same way, comparing the Caimus battleship I met last time, we can also see that the level ten

The strength of civilization is that although that battleship is a super battleship, there is a watchman on board a spaceship.

"Lord Void Knight, the opponent's Hades Guard will be watching you by then. Our information has also come out, it is the 22nd Hades Guard." At this moment, a red light from the distance also flashed over and stopped at Li

On the deck in front of Xuan.

But it is a third-level watcher who is still able to fight in the Fifth Fleet.

"No. 22 Charon Guard? No problem. At that time, I will mainly keep an eye on the watcher on the opposite side. You can feel free to dismantle the opponent's spaceship." Hearing that it was the Charon Guard ranked so low, Li Xuan also

She was a little uninterested. If Nangong Zhi hadn't wanted to fly a plane, she would have been able to practice her skills after handing over.

However, Li Xuan was quite interested in the few remaining watchers on the other side.

As for the loss of Nangong Zhi's combat effectiveness? Li Xuan didn't think about it at all. After her Louji was blown up, when she went crazy, letting her fight in unison would cause trouble, but it would be better to [self]

It's done well.

And after seeing Li Xuan's nonchalant expression, a strange look flashed in the eyes of the watchman who came over...

In the logistics transport formation behind the Fifth Fleet, Ahmadinejad closed his eyes and floated quietly among the bloated transport ships. Transport ships transporting physical ammunition passed him one after another, but no one seemed to notice that this should not happen.

The tiny figure here is the same.

"Hmph~, just don't care. Although Plutong's bodyguards are not as good as yours, they are definitely pretty good, haha!! It seems that the kind of tricks he studied at the beginning have now taken shape, hey... at this time

It just happens to be able to help me." After opening his scarlet eyes, Ahmadinejad couldn't help but have an evil smile on his lips.

At this time, the teeth in his mouth had turned into a sharp and interlaced shape. At the same time, a white mist emerged from the gap in his mouth involuntarily, which looked unusual.

fear……

Boom~, boom~

Looking at the fire flashing in front of him and the scattered fragments, Li Xuan also frowned. Air mines are a highly concealed, destructive and extremely cheap device.

The mines are almost the same.

The cost-effectiveness is extremely high when it comes to defense. Even the most advanced minesweepers sometimes miss. What's more, the scale of the Fifth Fleet is too large and cannot be swept away at all.

In addition, it has been marching in a hurry. After entering the opponent's defense area, the simple air mines laid have caused considerable losses to the fleet. However, Bronthiust has never issued an order to slow down. It seems that he is determined.

Don't give the other party any more time.

Although in terms of efficiency, his choice was extremely correct, the bloody price made Li Xuan slightly dissatisfied. Behind every fire, it represented the death of at least hundreds of soldiers. This is really

yes………

"War is indeed war. Hey~, every soldier is a chess piece. Maybe it is because of this that he can achieve the achievements and abilities he has now. Alas, if it is the Earth Federation fleet, can I do this? Hmm

, it’s better to just stick to your own profession.

"Li Xuan thought with some sadness.

If he really wanted to be cruel, Li Xuan might be able to do it, but he would still feel uncomfortable in his heart.

Sure enough, as far as mine clearing is concerned, the best thing is ** mine clearing...

In order to deal with smart air mines that can automatically identify targets, small ships such as torpedo boats and minesweepers have all adjusted their own signal patterns to achieve a misleading effect.

It is technically difficult to reduce the reflection area to achieve stealth, but it is relatively easy to increase the reflection area. Almost every warship can accomplish this by adjusting the onboard intelligence.

In this environment, after traveling at high speed for more than an hour and after countless small ships were destroyed, Li Xuan sensed that something was wrong on the battlefield.

He couldn't grasp what it was specifically, but he just felt a little weird. The reason for this weirdness was that it had something to do with the will of the God of Death that he had just fused with him not long ago, but Li Xuan couldn't figure out the details.

Got it.

After all, this is beyond the scope of my understanding.

"Isn't there really an observer-level boss paying attention to this place? The same feeling of heart palpitations last time, tsk~, really irritating." He clearly felt that something was wrong, but he just didn't understand what was going on. Li

Xuan also looked a little gloomy at this time.

After his face flickered uncertainly for a while, he placed his feet slightly on the battleship deck and shot forward in an instant, creating a ripple in the space in front and then blending in...

"This is" Li Xuan appeared on the wreckage of a frigate in the Vanguard Fleet that was blown into two sections. At this time, he was also frowning and scanning the wreckage.

Most of the ships hit by mines are smaller torpedo boats and the like. This frigate is really unlucky, and there are not many such examples.

But again, since the main targets of air mines are large ships, small ships will definitely disintegrate directly after being hit, and the wreckage left behind is completely fragmented, and there is no way to find anything.

Due to its tonnage, the frigate was blown into two pieces, but the main body of the frigate was still preserved, and many of the bodies of the members inside were intact.

At this time, Li Xuan focused on these corpses.

Originally, the corpse was nothing to care about, and Li Xuan was not an eminent monk, but the corpse here made the weird feeling in Li Xuan's heart even stronger.

It's really too lifeless. Maybe some people are wondering, can the corpse still be alive if it's not lifeless?

However, Li Xuan, who has considerable achievements in the rules of the spirit system and has recently studied the law of death, understands that even if a person dies, the dissipation of the spirit requires a process. Before it is completely dissipated,

, there will always be a little "spirit" that will definitely not be what it is now.

If he hadn't started to slowly think about the law of death recently, even Li Xuan, who had reached his current level, would never have been able to discover this problem.

He raised his hand to attract a rescue capsule in front of him, and after carefully scanning the inside with his mental strength, Li Xuan slowly exhaled, "There is indeed a problem."

The frigate had many life-saving cabins scattered around, but less than 20% of the life-saving cabins contained the breath of life. The life-saving cabin that Ge Xuan explored was the one where an "accident" occurred.

The deceased inside had no wounds at all, it was as if his soul had been extracted.

Li Xuan had seen this phenomenon before, when he found corpses in similar conditions when the galactic center entered the Graveless Star.

The reason why this phenomenon occurred at that time was because all the souls of those corpses were extracted from the dragon tomb underground, or in other words, they were extracted by the world-destroying demon dragon Rivado.

The reason why Rivado does this, based on Li Xuan's current understanding, can be roughly judged. It is because it wants to supplement its spiritual body to a certain extent. "Someone is doing tricks here. What do they want?"

What are you doing? Is it from the Galaxy Alliance or the Pulu Empire? Tsk~, there is too little information." Li Xuan frowned and thought.

Regardless of whether it is cosmic law or management regulations, there are very strict regulations on the extraction of this kind of life. It does not mean that it cannot be done, but it must be done voluntarily.

When Li Xuan mistakenly entered the star field of the Vasil Empire, what he discovered was that they were secretly doing such illegal things. Not long ago, people from his homeland were exposed, and now Vasil is all over the place.

I haven't wiped my butt on this matter yet.

But now it seems that someone is taking advantage of the intensity of this battlefield to secretly collect souls. Even for himself, he cannot detect the lack of either of the two, time and space analysis and understanding of the rules of death.
To be continued...
