Barbarot’s order soon reached the Level 3 Civilizations within its jurisdiction.
Naturally, on the Orion’s Arm Branch, none of the Level 3 Civilizations dared to disobey the order of the Babawi Empire. The 12 civilizations in the area immediately took action, and a large number of legions went to the neighboring Trade Hub through the Star Path.
The strength of these Level 3 Civilizations on the main arm was not comparable to those on the secondary arm. Speaking of the secondary arm, except for the Orr Republic, the others were not good at all.
Any of these Level 3 Civilizations could easily take out more than 20 legions, and stronger ones could even take out more than 50 legions.
In total, the 12 Level 3 Civilizations had dispatched 400 Main Fleets and 600 local Guard Fleets.
Since these civilizations were under the Babawi Empire, most of their legions were arranged around Trade Hubs (to guard against Interstellar Pirates), so most of these mobilized legions could reach their destination with only one voyage on the Star Path. Deploying to the adjacent Trade Hub was very convenient, they can reach their destination within 2 years!
Some, who were close enough, could even arrive within half a year!!
Barbarot divided his three legions into nine fleets, each with 100,000 warships, and began to pursue the enemy.
With the deployment of the Level 3 Civilizations, plus the arrival of the other seven legions, he would be able to completely trap the Lehman Empire!
This was Barbarot’s current strategy, encircling a wide area and actively intercepting the enemies; a two-pronged approach!
In addition, after the completion of this net-like deployment, Barbarot had issued an order to all of the Trade Hubs. He said that once the Lehman Empire appeared, the Garrison Fleet would immediately warp and evacuate to the other Trade Hubs.
After all, thousands of warships was still a decent force. Further, with so many Trade Hubs raided, wouldn’t the 2,000 – 3,000 warships of the Garrison Fleets eventually add up to 100,000 warships?
One has to take note that in the past few months, not a single Lehman Empire warship had been destroyed. Meanwhile each Trade Hub had lost 2,000 – 3,000 warships. Wasn’t this basically handing out free food to the enemies?
Hence, an interesting situation unfolded.
Whenever Lin Fan’s fleet attacked a Trade Hub, the Babawi Empire Fleet in that Trade Hub would immediately retreat.
Similarly, once Barbarot chased after Lin Fan’s location, Lin Fan would immediately warp away.
Although Barbarot still had no way of cornering Lin Fan for the time being, Lin Fan was not pleased. After all, each of their previous attacks could get rid of thousands of the Babawi Empire warships.
But now, each attack could only damage some Starports in the Trade Hub. As for the warships, there had been no results for a month.
Of course, Lin Fan also guessed that this was the work of Commander-in-Chief of the Babawi Empire. He understood that the other party must be gathering strength, preparing to suppress them.
After all, unlike the Human Federation, the local warships and subordinate Civilizations that the Babawi Empire could mobilize were much more powerful. They could definitely fill all of the Trade Hubs within a few hundred light years.
Even if those affiliated Level 3 Civilizations don’t have Warp Engines, according to Lin Fan’s calculations, the time before they would come to pester him would be around 2 years.
However, this was not what Lin Fan was worried about in the first place. After all, Lin Fan didn’t come to fight the Babawi Empire. It was purely to add fire between the Vera Alliance and the Freedom Alliance’s feud, while also disrupting the Babawi Empire’s Trade Hub Network.
Of course, it would be even better if another batch of the Babawi Empire’s forces was lured into the Shanhai Pass and annihilated it there!
At the same time, at the assembly point in Tianyuan IV.
Currently, 9.5 million warships had gathered. Although this could not fill the entire Star System, it still looked quite grand.
After all, ever since the Human Federation had left Earth, people had never seen such a huge fleet assemble. Even against their former enemies, the most they had gathered was around 3 million warships.
Now, nearly 10 million warships were assembled under Liang Xingchen’s command. How could Liang Xingchen not be in a good mood?
The only nitpicky detail was that among the 9.5 million warships, the Human Federation only had 720,000 warships, accounting for only 7.5% of the total number.
Although the Human population had soared recently and had exceeded the 20 billion mark, this new large population was young and only a few years old. It would take at least 10 years for them to become part of the workforce.
For now, 5 legions were the current limit of the Humans, plus some local Guard Fleets. If this was increased, it would definitely affect the development of the Humans.
Since two of the legions were in the Shanhai Pass, Liang Xingchen only had three.
It can also be seen from this, that Lin Zhen’s decision back then was right. It was precisely because of the policy of accepting Affiliate Civilizations, that the Humans could form an army this large.
Especially with the development of time. Within a few years, it was absolutely possible to organize a Level 4 combat force composed of tens of millions of the Affiliate Civilizations alone!
“Commander, it’s time!”
Bai Ling came to Liang Xingchen and reported.
“En, let’s go to the conference room.”
Bai Ling was Liang Xingchen’s new Adjutant, coming to the post two years ago. He was a talented new blood. After graduating, he joined the 2nd Legion as a staff officer, and was appointed as an Adjutant by Liang Xingchen a year later.
Now that Lin Fan was 8,000 light-years away, these new bloods became Liang Xingchen’s favorites in the past five years!
Walking into the conference room, three people were already sitting.
They were Jiang Hai – the Commander of the 3rd Legion, Ivan – the Commander of the 5th Legion (former Commander of the 10th Fleet of the 2nd Legion, who was promoted three years ago when the 5th Legion was formed, after he made a great contribution to the conquest of the Sierra Empire), and Candace – the Commander of the Io Federation’s Interstellar Fleet.
“Commander Candice, long time no see. How is Queen Alfie doing?”
“Your Excellency Commander Liang Xingchen, unfortunately, Queen Alfie is not doing so well!”
As Candice spoke, she showed an expression of not knowing whether to laugh or cry.
“Huh? What happened?”
“The Queen said that after the expedition of the second arm of Orion’s Support Arm, she wants to abdicate early. From the Queen’s words, it is because it is too boring to be a Queen and that her temperament is not suitable for ruling!”
“Understood, so has the one taking over the Queen’s place been decided?”
“Well, Queen Alfie and the leaders of the 12 Clans agreed that the throne should be passed on to the first male angel after ten thousand years had passed!”
“Wait, isn’t that…?”
“That’s right, it’s the one you think of!”
Candice said with a smile.
