Chapter 1668 Withering
Digital Phantom won the sixth battle. Considering the special nature of this battle, they felt that the cooperation could come to an end.
The ambush of four division-level ships failed to kill one of the infiltrating small fleets. Who would dare to make another rash move?
The empire's warriors also knew that it would be truly shameful if they had to get entangled with the Digital Phantom after achieving such a result.
So they left the lightly damaged division-level ship to the other side, "This... your space equipment is very large and convenient to carry."
"Okay," the fourth boss said without hesitation. It would be more convenient to have some warships of the country when operating in the federation.
"By the way, our team has also prepared some gifts... for you!"
When the officers and soldiers on the regimental-level ship heard that Digital Phantom had given them gifts, they instantly became excited.
I really don’t want to take advantage of you, but... the gift given by Digital Phantom is exciting just thinking about it.
With such a big team, how could the gifts they could give be bad?
To put it another way, even if it's just a little bit off, it doesn't matter.
Throughout the empire, who has ever received the gift from the Digital Phantom?
Even if it's just for this reason, it's worth bragging about.
However, when the regimental-level ship actually received the gift, it was still a little confused, "Is this... maintenance equipment?"
Please make it clear to us. We came to the Federation to harass. What is the meaning of sending maintenance equipment?
The fleet brought a lot of simple maintenance equipment. Not only is this unnecessary, but... isn't this a curse?
The Digital Phantom's regimental-level ship responded, "A set of simple spraying equipment."
"We authorize the four regiment-level ships participating in this harassment to temporarily paint the Digital Phantom...temporarily!"
It's just paint... The Empire's soldiers are even less motivated. We even dare to pretend to be the Federation's paint. Is that so rare?
But the next moment, they were shocked, "Oh my god, can I spray the digital phantom logo?"
It’s okay for other companies to use painted labels, but the Digital Phantom... no one in the Empire has the courage to do it.
Many people have heard about how miserable the fate of those who pretended to be them to mine energy stones was.
"That's right," the other party said calmly, "Try to take care of yourself... Remember, it's only temporary."
"It's enough for now," the soldiers said without hesitation, "Thanks for the authorization!"
"Nothing, it's all for the Empire," the Digital Phantom's regimental-level ship simply replied, and then disappeared into the depths of space.
The military's regimental-level ship did not respond for a long time, only the robotic arm was holding the equipment tightly.
After a long while, a sigh was heard. "Just borrowing a name is a great honor... Who wouldn't want such a life?"
"Boss, you're overthinking it. It's a digital phantom. We'll spend our entire lives chasing it, but at best we'll only be able to see its back."
"Bullshit, what depressing words are you talking about? In a few days, I will also be a digital phantom..."
At the same time, Qu Jianlei and others were also discussing, "Go to Hermus, or go to Link Nebula?"
Link Nebula was where they had their last battle against Asura.
According to the confessions of the captives, the expansion of Asura in the Federation is far less rapid than that of the alien Lin Hai in the Alliance.
There are many relevant factors, but the most important one is: Asura’s fighting style is far less weird than that of the alien Lin Hai!
Asuras are very powerful individually, and the defense and attack of their nests are also very powerful, but their means are relatively simple.
There is no cutting of spatial fluctuations, the corrosiveness of the energy is not very strong, and there is no means of spore parasitism...
In the Age of Discovery, such opponents can be said to be a headache, but they may not necessarily make people want to give up resistance.
In the final analysis, although Asura is strong, he has no advantage in terms of numbers.
What did the Age of Exploration depend on? Besides technology, it was quantity!
In fact, in the historical process of human society, quantity is also a crucial factor!
A large population will lead to a shortage of survival materials, and this scarcity, this survival need, is the driving force for outward expansion.
Similarly, after occupying a place, how to consolidate the rule? Population advantage is also the biggest reliance, no doubt about it!
This is a bit off topic, but what is certain is that although the individual combat power of Asura is strong, their number is too small!
In addition, the means are not that strange, so it is not very difficult for the Federation to deal with it.
In comparison, those inexplicable bats, which are the companion species of Asura, are causing more headaches for the Federation.
The reason is that there are too many bats and they are growing rapidly!
Therefore, although the Federation is currently retreating step by step in its battle with alien races, it is relatively organized.
They did not suffer a major defeat like Sihe Star or Baozhi Star, they just retreated little by little.
However, there is currently no deadline for this retreat.
But there is no doubt that the Federation has already worked out a set of rules for dealing with Asura, and the future is promising.
So far, the Alliance has no idea how to deal with the locust world and has no effective countermeasures.
Although the two families are allies, they are indeed two completely different worlds!
After discussing it, everyone decided to go to the federal government to get some information first.
The prisoners of war did provide a lot of information, but not necessarily more than the information available in society.
The key point is that those prisoners of war were guarding the meat grinder line. They had not been replaced for two or three years, so the information would naturally be outdated.
The task of guarding the warship fell on Bentley, who was not very interested in traveling to a foreign country.
Then Qu Jianlei began to consider which planet would be better to teleport to.
Here in the Federation, they have set up several teleportation arrays.
However, when he checked, he found that two of the three teleportation arrays on Yongxing Star were unresponsive.
There is only one possibility for this situation - the teleportation array has been destroyed.
"Oh my..." He was a little surprised, "What happened there?"
Jing Yuexin reminded him, "That is the military star in the Jinyang Star Region, and the inspection is very strict."
"I have an impression," Qu Jianlei frowned and nodded, "I just want to know, did it self-destruct or was it discovered?"
Two of the three teleportation arrays were damaged, but one is still usable. I'll send a clone over there to investigate first. It shouldn't be a big deal.
With Jing Yuexin and Duogan successfully overcoming the tribulation, the senior members of the team have basically cultivated their own clones.
Even Dougan, who had just passed the tribulation, cultivated a clone.
However, Mrs. Jia thought that for safety reasons, it was not advisable to go to Yongxing for the time being. "What if we were ambushed?"
After some discussion, everyone decided to go to Tres in the Valencia star field.
Tres's teleportation array was intact, and it was dark when everyone appeared in the mountains.
The teleportation array was very close to the city. Looking at the lights in the city ahead, Claire let out a light exclamation.
"Why does it feel... not particularly prosperous?"
Jing Yuexin murmured softly, "The last time I came here, it was much more lively than it is now."
Next, everyone dispersed and merged into the vast night.
In the evening of the next day, everyone met again in a park, and then dispersed in two picnic shops, communicating with their minds.
Tres is indeed not as lively as before, mainly because the federation is facing financial constraints now.
Whether it is a state-owned or private enterprise, the operating rate is not very sufficient, and the phenomenon of wage arrears is everywhere.
The reason for this is that the pressure of fighting on two fronts was too great, leading to tight federal finances.
Their battle with the Empire was a meat grinder that not only consumed a large number of lives, but also consumed a huge amount of war materials.
However, compared with the fighting on this front, the fighting on the alien races is child's play.
An endless stream of Asuras are emerging from the Link Nebula and are spreading madly to the surrounding areas.
The Federation is very determined to defend the country and has been guarding it strictly.
However, they were simply unable to defeat the Asuras, who were fearless and powerful, and the federal army was losing ground.
The good thing is that Asura's methods were not too strange, and the Federation also dealt a heavy blow to the opponent.
Up to now, the Federation and Asura have been fighting each other to the point of real anger.
The enemy attacked desperately, with little regard for casualties, while the Federation defended desperately, with an almost endless need for war materials.
The military industry and related enterprises are running around the clock, but profits are falling sharply - Guojia has no money.
Other businesses are becoming increasingly withered - who will spend money if they can't make money?
The fourth boss couldn't help but sigh, "Fighting two wars at the same time, and both are so brutal... How stubborn!"
"I can't stop," Jing Yuexin said calmly, then looked at Qu Jianlei, "Do you want to go find Tony?"
"Forget it," Qu Jianlei shook his head. He had a deep impression of the military instructor, who thought he was a separatist force at the time.
Although the situation of the Federation is difficult, most people are still gritting their teeth and holding on, and there is no decline like the Alliance.
The probability of expecting a traitor to appear in the military is relatively low, so why bother doing that useless work?
"The blockade of specific information here is also quite strict," Flower Scorpion said in a deep voice, "I didn't find any topic about us."
The Federation does not hide the invasion of Ashura and will update a lot of information in a timely manner.
There is really nothing that cannot be said about the war with foreign races - in a racial war, even if you want to desert, you have no chance.
The federal government did not report much about the meat grinder, and what it reported was selective, mostly reporting good news and not bad news.
Even with regard to the Empire's latest infiltration fleet, the Federation reported that "a small number of remnant enemy forces appeared."
As for the information about Digital Phantom, it does not exist at all. You have to know that they have fought a lot of tough battles in the past three months.
"Let's go to Hesmus," Qu Jianlei decided. "It's easier to get information in a place where good and bad people mingle."
To go to Hesmus, Xizhao has to take action and build the teleportation array first.
Xizhao said that we have a lot of people now, and we have so many Nascent Souls, so we can just sneak into the cargo hold, what are we afraid of?
Even if someone checks on you, wouldn't it be enough to just use some mental interference?
This makes sense. The team's confidence is growing day by day.
(I am almost dying of exhaustion. I will continue to update. Feng Xiao is working so hard. I need some monthly tickets, subscriptions and recommendation tickets.)
