Forty Millenniums of Cultivation
Chapter 2258 Attack It Not Ready!
There is a saying that Lei Chenghu is quite right.
After mankind's exploration of the three-dimensional universe, mainly in the form of "jumps from the stars", thus conquering thousands of great worlds and tens of thousands of resource planets, in any cosmic war, "attack” will always be a hundred times simpler than “defense”.
Lei Chenghu is not an external enemy. He is a major player in the Imperial Army. He has been a sandbox general in the Imperial Army for 200 years. He is more likely to be assisted by mysterious forces from the Imperial City. He knows all the navigational charts, force distribution and jump coordinates of the Empire's thousand worlds.
He can suddenly appear in any star area by choosing his own target.
But the defense is doomed to the impossibility of spreading all its forces evenly across every world and every planet, so that it can only be destroyed and focused.
The attackers have an almost unlimited right to attack, and it is resources that limit them.
Yes, on the first jump, the attackers can choose their targets indefinitely, but this choice and the ensuing battle will also drain all their meagre fuel and ammunition.
If World War I fails to achieve a glorious outcome and is not effectively complemented, it will inevitably not be able to start a second jump and will be trapped alive in a burning battlefield.
Some of these attacks and defenses are like duels between two gunmen with firearms.
Guns can only be fired once, and it is certainly advantageous to fire first, but if you fail to hit them, you will almost cut off all your hopes.
Predicting the first target of the Thunder Fleet has become a top priority for the "Rear Shooter”.
And when the eight words "His Majesty's Recovery, Shenbu Innovation” spread across the streets and alleys of Emperor Du, including the Senate, in each pair of ears, Lei Chenghu's goal was obvious.
Exactly. What better place to make a scene for an outrageous soldier on the front line than for a distant, small and medium-sized world interest group with a lot of grievances?
The “rebels” hastily assembled in War III alone cannot theoretically attack the Emperor's capital.
But everything was possible in the war - didn't Wu Yingqi, the border general of the former Starling Sea Republic, go straight to the capital in a way similar to "beheading tactics”, control the parliament, slaughter parliamentarians, trigger a chain reaction, and finally usurp the entire country?
The forerunner of the Founding Emperor was so clear that he couldn't help but be shocked by the senate and afraid to repeat his mistakes. Today's Imperial Senate turned into the Congress of the Republic a thousand years ago.
There are ghostly rumors coming from the end of the street alley and even deep into the underground crevices.
Many people know that the rebel flag has been raised all over the star sea. It is about to sweep the Emperor with thunder. Even if it cannot be attacked, the heart of the star sea will be smashed to pieces.
More covert intelligence from all sources, it is plausible to say that the previous investigation into the "Blood League Incident” had provoked strong dissatisfaction on all sides, and that many of the Emperor's forces, with the exception of the family of four elected emperors, have now clandestinely turned their backs on the rebels, the “revolutionaries".
As soon as Lei Chenghu's fleet appears on the outskirts of the extreme heavens, these forces will rise up and join forces with the Thunder Fleet to take the Emperor!
The intelligence system of the Four Major Election Emperors ran wildly ten times faster, searching for the source of these rumours, and they really caught a lot of sneaky guys, and even broke into several secret Innovation strongholds.
The harsh torture inflicted on the members of the Revolutionary sect is a blazing news.
The Innovators, led by Empire Queen Li Linghai, have been painstakingly operating in Emperor Du for decades, infiltrating the key nodes of Emperor Du, seemingly impervious defense system, has long been sore.
This alarming intelligence, like that quenching dagger, has slammed the elders' throats.
The elders had long been vigilant about Li Linghai's ambitions, but how vigilant they were to confine her to the "court struggle”, but did not expect her to use such crazy means to pull up a powerful rebel army outside the Empire.
From the infiltration of Emperor Du by Queen Li Linghai, combined with the powerful combat power of the Thunder Fleet, if the revolutionaries were truly desperate and recklessly going straight to Emperor Du, they would have at least 20 to 30% certainty to capture part of the ground area of Starscream.
If both sides really hit the Empire's ground and split the Empire's heart in half, the Millennium Empire would be destroyed.
The elders from the family of four electorate emperors, not necessarily as loyal and passionate about the word "empire”, even many ambitious guys have masturbated in the heart more than once. If the empire really falls apart, they control more than a dozen and twenty thousand worlds to be united, and make themselves emperors, is it not addictive?
Nonetheless, these ex-baby and divinity superiors all possess great computational power and a high degree of reason, knowing that the five words "Real Human Empire” are the "maximum number of conventions” of various intertwined and complex interest groups.
Empires may be bad and annoying, but without them, hundreds of great thousands of worlds would once again be scattered into a new, more brutal era of "star naval warring nations” than in the past.
They will have to kill each other and attack each other until all are exhausted, defeated and destroyed one by one by the Alliance.
Since none of the families of the four electorate emperors took a single breath and devoured the entire star sea, the Empire became the existence they had to defend.
In order to defend the Empire, nothing can happen to the Empire. Any large-scale war in the Empire will inevitably trigger a series of unpredictable chain reactions, which, with the increase of the butterfly effect, will turn into a Jedi wind and thunder sweeping the Empire!
“Rebels must not be allowed into the atmosphere of Starscream! ”
“The ambitions of the Thunder Fleet and the Innovators must be strangled in the icy and cold stars outside the extreme heavens! ”
This is the unanimous call of the elders.
To this end, the military machines of the four major-electorate emperors are all running in the most ferocious posture.
A month ago, when the Blood League incident occurred, the Four Major Election Emperors sent countless family elite warships to jump to Didu to control the situation.
Today, despite the loss of fuel and starships, they have ordered more elites in the family territory to appear as quickly as possible in the extreme heavens and stars, replacing those who are most likely to be obscure and revolutionary and whose loyalty is highly questionable.
In just 24 hours, more than fifteen fleets have jumped to Didu.
Even with space wrinkles and stable wormholes, the star sea lanes are dense, and the famous Emperor who travels to and from the starship network rarely greets so many superships at the same time, tearing apart the pieces of four-dimensional space that swoop, the waves of the sea fluctuate, and it can not be calm for a long time.
Ironically, whether it be the revolutionary “Jubilee” or “Rebel" or the elite of the family of the four electorate emperors, the reason for convening them quickly is the same - to defend His Majesty the wise, the unbeatable, the infinitely great Emperor!
With the reinforcements of fifteen fleets, together with more than a dozen that had previously been stationed in Didu, the number of fleets scattered across the extreme heavens and stars has reached nearly thirty.
The entire essence of the Real Human Empire, with the exception of the major war zones on the front line, has gathered in Emperor Du, quietly awaiting the emergence of the Thunder Fleet.
The rebels will surely come, and all the senators firmly believe that.
As there are no rebels in the rear base, resources are maintained for up to one month at the day-to-day consumption of the fleet.
Every day, the balance of victory leans towards the family of the four electorate emperors. In this resistance of will, the first to collapse is destined to be Li Linghai, Lei Chenghu and the so-called “revolutionaries”!
Yet...
……
The real human empire, the second quadrant, one of the four elected emperor families, the core territory of the Li family, the valley rain realm, the rain gods.
This is a rain-rich, resource-rich planet ideal for growing all kinds of psychic crops.
What is even more rare is that the planet also contains a variety of rare crystalline and metallic veins beneath it, forming a rare "composite industrial and agricultural planet” that is highly valued in all of the Empire's planetary sequences.
Lijia naturally built a continuous spiritual energy farm and crystal ore mine around Rain God Star, developed a magnificent city with enough capacity to hold tens of billions of people, and built a supermassive spaceship dock in the synchronous orbit of Rain God Star, capable of refining almost all class warships below heavy destroyers.
In a nutshell, this is one of the most important core worlds of the Li family, and even bears the burden of channelling resources to several large thousands of nearby worlds.
This is evident from the three mega-sky gates stretching out to reach thousands of kilometres in the periphery of the Rain God synchronous orbit.
These three gates of the sky, like three giant lighthouses in an isometric triangle, sparkle enough to tear apart four-dimensional space, instantly spread throughout the empire, guide starships from all sides of the empire, and reflect the constant jump to Rain God.
Rain God Star, Gate of the Three Stars.
In the past 24 hours, too many fleets from various parts of the Lijia world have jumped to the rainfall world, replenishing fuel and ammunition here before jumping to Didu, and the staff with the three stargate have all overcharged their lives, burned their souls, and played fateful navigation.
At this moment, the emergency transfer is temporarily suspended. All nerves are slightly relaxed. Many people are snoring and sleeping in a messy operating room. Even those who still hold on to their posts are tired, their eyelids can't hold up a fight. No matter how reprehensible their superiors are, there are a few guys who occasionally rely on drugs to lift their spirits, but they are full of creeps, hiding in the corner, stealing whispers and suddenly jumping out of the darkness of the revolutionaries, and the emperors are all about to perform a good show.
At this point, a sharp alarm sounded the entire control center of Gate Three.
