GBP Chapter 1452 War begins
Chapter 1452 War begins
Xiao Ce believed that an arrogant army was bound to fail!
However, Xiao Ce was well aware that once he made this decision, his subsequent attack would be extremely ferocious.
It could even be described as reckless...
So what they need to do now is defend, defend with all their might...
His idea was simple: his Star Network Hub was like a surveillance system for the entire planet.
This surveillance camera was like a pair of eyes, watching their every move intently.
Before Xiao Ce merged with the body, he probably didn't know much about those things.
However, after learning more, he had a much deeper understanding of the Star Network Mechanism.
Before, Xiao Ce thought of this Star Network Hub as just a signal tower.
Once fully activated, this stellar hub becomes the brain of the entire planet.
Moreover, they have an intimate knowledge of the entire planet.
Xiao Ce's previous setup was likely intended to prepare for an impending war.
Xiao Ce's fighting style towards these interstellar hyenas.
It's very simple, it's about consumption...
The reason is simple: their two factories, one in East Asia and one in the Western Federation, have already officially entered the operational phase.
Moreover, their factory can also produce what the factory needs.
This is the process of cell division.
Therefore, what Xiao Ce and his team need now is time; they have already acquired equipment for more than ten factories.
There was no other reason why we didn't open those factories.
It's entirely because the subsequent mining of minerals hasn't caught up yet. Once the subsequent mining of those minerals catches up...
They could easily operate more than a dozen weapons factories simultaneously.
They don't lack people for mining ore; what they need now is skilled workers.
Moreover, Xiao Ce also obtained those new devices from those new armories.
These devices allow people to control the robotic mechs.
This way, mechs can be deployed to the battlefield, and humans won't have to risk their lives.
Of course, due to the bandwidth limitations of the Star Network Hub, it can only support mechs for up to five thousand people at a time.
If you want more, then there will be a delay.
Once these mechs are deployed on the battlefield, any delays will be extremely critical.
However, five thousand mechs would be enough for Xiao Ce.
Therefore, Xiao Ce sent his servants to the places he personally visited, ensuring their safety.
In dangerous or life-threatening situations, Xiao Ce decided to let his army handle those tasks…
He could do everything he could to minimize the number of deaths…
Xiao Ce estimated that their attack would likely take place within the next few days.
So, Xiao Ce gathered all the generals she knew together...
After everyone logged on, Xiao Ce noticed that everyone looked somewhat nervous…
Xiao Ce smiled at the crowd and said, "Gentlemen, you are all warriors who have fought alongside me in countless battles..."
"Before, when we faced Xiao Dingshan, our weapons were far inferior to theirs, but we weren't nervous... How come now that our weapons have caught up, everyone, why are you still so nervous?"
After hearing Xiao Ce's words.
Morgana first said to Xiao Ce, "Your Highness, the person who came this time is completely different... We can sense their reinforcements, including the weapons they're still bringing..."
"Furthermore, we actually had a certain understanding of how to fight before..."
"That is to say, no matter how we fought before, it was all between our own people... But what we are fighting for now is power..."
"And if these visitors from beyond the realm win, what will happen to us..."
"The entire population of our planet will become their slaves, never to rise again..."
After Morgana spoke first, it seemed she represented the thoughts and opinions of the majority…
Thinking of this, Xiao Ce gave a wry smile, and then said to them, "Gentlemen, is this what you all think?"
His core members all nodded in agreement.
Seeing this, Xiao Ce felt somewhat helpless.
"Gentlemen, it seems I really was wrong..."
Seeing Xiao Ce say this, these people looked at him with complete bewilderment.
They didn't seem to understand why Xiao Ce was apologizing like that.
"Your Highness, what have you done wrong?"
"Yes, Your Highness, you didn't do anything wrong..."
"Yes, Your Highness, none of us are afraid to fight. We are merely wary of them. We know very well that you are our savior; without you, we wouldn't be where we are today..."
...
After listening to these people's words, Xiao Ce smiled; they had all misunderstood.
Just two days ago, Xiao Ce noticed that they seemed overly confident.
Xiao Ce felt that they trusted him too much because of the impression he gave them.
He always manages to lead them to victory!
If everyone had thought that way before, that would have been fine, because Xiao Ce believed that he could indeed lead them to victory…
However, he had a chance of winning this battle.
However, he did not say it was a battle that was guaranteed to be won.
Therefore, after much deliberation, Xiao Ce still felt that it was necessary to make them realize this problem.
He specifically told everyone about the pros and cons of these matters, and how formidable the other party was.
His core members knew Xiao Ce very well.
Once Xiao Ce said it was serious!
Therefore, they need to be prepared to think that this matter is ten times, or even a hundred times, more serious.
Therefore, they were all on high alert, ready for anything...
"I shouldn't have made it sound so serious. While the matter is serious, it's not nearly as serious as it seems... I just wanted you to take it seriously, but there's no need to be so tense. It's good for someone to be on edge, but if you're too tense, it becomes excessive and you're more likely to break down..."
When everyone heard what Xiao Ce said, they all nodded in agreement.
Frank then asked Xiao Ce, "Your Highness, are they about to launch an attack?"
After hearing Frank's words, Xiao Ce smiled and nodded, then said, "That's right... I also told you, these people want a quick victory, they want to wipe us all out within three months..."
Upon hearing Xiao Ce's words, everyone's expressions immediately became wary, and the atmosphere grew even heavier.
Because they are all people who understand some combat tactics.
For those outsiders, to win...
So, they must want a quick victory!
No one interrupted; they simply listened quietly to Xiao Ce's orders.
Seeing everyone's expressions, Xiao Ce said, "So, it's simple, we just can't let them win quickly... Therefore, we should focus on delaying them head-on... and then launch surprise attacks to wear them down, forcing them to be preoccupied with one front while neglecting the other..."
After hearing Xiao Ce's words, everyone nodded respectfully.
"As for the specifics of how to fight, you're all incredibly skilled... I don't need to explain it to you..."
Frank said to Xiao Ce, "Your Highness, it would be even better if you could offer some guidance... We would certainly listen attentively..."
As Frank's boasting grew increasingly exaggerated, Xiao Ce chuckled and interrupted, saying to Frank, "Alright, alright, Frank, stop bragging. I'm getting embarrassed. The actual combat strategy is up to you guys; I just wanted to show you how to fight..."
"Stop trying to flatter me... I've told you before that nothing can be accomplished by one person alone..."
"Therefore, I've been nurturing you all, so that you can grow... Only after you've grown will you be able to train your subordinates. This way, our talent development model will be a pyramid structure, which is a healthy model..."
"I don't want to say this will be an inverted pyramid model..."
After listening to Xiao Ce's words, the group nodded in agreement and said, "Your Highness, rest assured, we have been doing exactly as you said, and we are also paying attention to the cultivation of talent..."
Xiao Ce smiled and nodded: "Alright, then that means the next thing..."
Upon hearing Xiao Ce's words, everyone looked at him with tense and serious expressions.
"It's mainly you Western leaders, Xiao Yang, Frank, Morgana, Kimberly, Boudica. With a major battle imminent, why don't you come over here and remotely control those robots to manage things over there!"
"That would be more appropriate..."
Seeing Xiao Ce say this, these people looked at each other...
They all seemed unsure.
Xiao Ce looked at Xiao Yang.
"Xiao Yang, you're the boss of the West, listen to what you have to say..."
Xiao Yang first looked at Xiao Ce seriously, then said, "Brother, to be honest, emotionally speaking, I want to come back, and I also think your suggestion is better..."
"but…"
Xiao Yang paused, then looked at Xiao Ce and said, "It's not that I don't want to, it's that I can't!"
“Big brother, back when we were in the Western Federation, everyone knew that we were with them… They knew that we had always fought alongside them.”
"But if we run away first and hide over there, what will our people and subordinates in the Western Federation think? This will be a huge blow to their morale..."
"Moreover, we only feel truly trapped there, standing shoulder to shoulder with them... If we hide in the rear, we always have a way out... Our decisions will be biased..."
"Only by being on the front lines can we stand shoulder to shoulder with everyone. Therefore, both emotionally and logically, we cannot leave. We must all stay on the front lines..."
After Xiao Yang finished speaking, everyone else nodded vigorously, indicating that Xiao Ce had expressed what they had been thinking...
After speaking to Xiao Yang, still mindful of Xiao Ce's feelings, she said to him, "Your Highness, you are different from us..."
Before Xiao Yang could finish speaking, Xiao Ce said with a smile, "Alright, I'm not that sensitive..."
At this moment, on the star map screen in front of Xiao Ce, the scarlet light spot representing the main fleet of the interstellar hyena legion was like thick poisonous blood dripped into clear water, flowing towards the core of Britain with an unprecedented concentration!
A frenzy is brewing in the city of Lingas and the underground fortress area.
The real-time data stream transmitted back from the "Star Eclipse" core within Evelyn's body perfectly matched the energy fluctuations captured by the Star Network's global monitoring network!
The captain's arrogant "three-month conquest" plan was precisely dissected and replicated before Xiao Ce's eyes.
After glancing at everyone, Xiao Ce said, "Everyone, that's enough... this is the end of our meeting..."
Everyone looked at Xiao Ce with puzzled expressions.
Xiao Ce addressed them, "Take your positions! They're about to attack! Everyone be careful, stay alive! Organize your defenses..."
At this moment, the flagship "Abyssal Roar" was like a moving mountain of steel! It slowly pressed down to the skies near the British coast, its enormous shadow almost shrouding the entire city of Lingas in an eternal twilight.
They are already preparing for war!
The main gun muzzle on the bow, known as the "Starbreaker," spun silently with a dark red energy vortex, emanating a chilling aura of destruction. Every faint energy ripple caused the star network hub, thousands of miles away, to emit a low alarm beep.
Even before it has fired a shot, its very existence is a Damocles' sword hanging over the heads of the remaining resistance forces of the Western Federation.
After everyone logged off, Xiao Ce entered a public channel...
"The final offensive has begun."
Xiao Ce's voice rang out in the deathly silent hall!
The calm, without a single ripple, suddenly tightened everyone's already taut nerves.
"According to the timetable transmitted by the Eclipse, ten seconds left."
The light screen split instantly, with the main image locked onto the bow of the "Abyssal Roar," alongside energy readings of the outer defenses of Lingas City, a monitoring view of the surface ruins of the North Star Factory, and... a seemingly peaceful interior of Western Europe!
That was the "anvil" position that Xiao Ce had set up.
"Ten...nine...eight..."
Xiao Ce's countdown was like a cold drumbeat.
"Seven...six..."
On the outskirts of Lingas, inside the remaining fortifications!
The soldiers gripped their weapons tightly, their backs soaked with sweat, and looked up at the colossal ship that blotted out the sky, their despair and resolve intertwined.
"May...Four..."
Beneath the hull of the "Abyss Roar," dozens of massive launch ports simultaneously lit up with a blinding red light!
Countless tiny, deadly spore-like objects were ejected!
"Three...two...one!"
boom…!!!
It wasn't a single cannon shot, but a shriek from billions of overlapping cannon shots that tore through space!
Instead, it's similar to a spore suddenly expanding and deforming in mid-air!
In an instant, they transformed into tens of thousands of "Razor" hyena fighter jets!
They appeared more densely than before, with high-frequency vibrating energy blades flashing at the edges of their wings, and the eerie blue particle streams spewed from their engines leaving long trails of death, like a cascading waterfall of black metal that instantly engulfed the skies above Lingas City!
"Fire! All anti-aircraft fire! Maximum elevation! Covert fire!"
The hoarse roar of the Lingas city defense commander was drowned out by the deafening explosion.
Ground-based air defense missile arrays unleashed dense flaming spears, while Phalanx close-in weapon systems wove together an orange-red barrage of fire.
But there were just too many Hyena fighters! They weaved and dove through the barrage of bullets with dazzling and unpredictable maneuvers!
The eerie blue particle beam beneath the fuselage, like the scythe of death, violently plowed across the ground!
Hiss!
Buzz! Boom!
