Beiyan Group battlefield

It took several hours.

Aside from leaving behind a trail of hordes of insectoid debris on the battlefield, the Zerg fleet did not pose a significant threat to the Northern Goose Defense Fleet.

Only a small number of T3 and T4 Zerg motherships can pose a slight threat to the Northern Goose defenses, but when these threats do occur...

The Northern Goose Defense Fleet would then dispatch a special operations fleet to encircle and kill them.

The first step was to deploy a T2 Lion King-class heavy interstellar missile ship to conduct a missile bombardment, followed by a fleet of T3 Blizzard-class light interstellar battlecruisers to carry out a decapitation strike against the threatening targets in the area.

This plan was proposed by Xu Yifan, drawing on the tactics Zhao Chen used in the Morton Stargate battle.

"Report: So far, we have only advanced less than one-tenth of the enemy's defensive depth." The subordinate looked at Marshal Zhong Yan, whose face was grim.

Just now, Marshal Zhong Yanyuan declared that he would wipe out the Beiyan Group within ten hours.

But now more than three hours have passed.

The number of interstellar warships annihilated by the Northern Goose Defense Fleet was only a few hundred.

On the other hand, they have lost thousands of Zerg motherships and their offensive efficiency is extremely low.

Given this situation, let alone ten hours, it might take a hundred hours to end this battle.

"We can't waste any more time."

Form a breakthrough fleet, led by a near-T5 Zerg mothership, with T4 and T3 Zerg motherships accompanying the fleet.

"We must break through the enemy's defenses in the shortest possible time and eliminate those damned interstellar missile ships first!" Marshal Zhong Yan ordered.

Although this might result in the loss of a number of elite Zerg motherships, Marshal Zhong Yan believed that such sacrifices were entirely acceptable in order to end the battle as soon as possible.

Subsequently, a number of elite Zerg motherships emerged from the Zerg fleet, forming a cone-shaped assault formation and launching an attack.

The slow-moving near-T5 Zergling mothership is located in the middle.

Although the Leviathan-class Zerg hive mothership is enormous and has formidable combat power, its slow speed is its weakness.

In addition, a large number of Zerg motherships ahead were slowed down by enemy artillery fire.

Several hours have passed, and they still haven't entered the combat zone.

"Report! The enemy has assembled a number of assault teams and has a large number of elite Zerg motherships."

Among them is the Leviathan Monarch-class Zerg mothership, and the rest are thirty T4 Zerg motherships and five hundred T3 Zerg motherships!

Most importantly, at the speed of the assault fleet, the Leviathan-class Zerg mothership will be within attack range in ten minutes, covering an area that includes one of our defensive satellite bases,” the subordinate reported.

Li Wei frowned. He knew very well that the enemy's greatest threat was the Leviathan Monarch-class Zerg mothership, which was a near-T5 Zerg mothership.

Even if a thousand of his T2 Lion King-class heavy interstellar missile ships launched a barrage against it, it would probably be difficult to pose a threat to its thick bio-armor.

"Pass on my order: all personnel and interstellar warships at Defense Base One, prepare to evacuate!"

Li Wei had already made arrangements for this situation.

The defensive bases he deployed in advance were designed to create a defensive depth, relying first on the firepower of the interstellar missile ships to slow down the enemy's advance.

When the Leviathan-class Zerg mothership actually threatens one's own defensive base, the base is abandoned first, and the enemy retreats to the rear.

Li Wei set up as many as thirty such defensive bases!

These are the bridgehead bases outside the industrial base of Beiyan Group.

There is only one way to enter the Beiyan Group's industrial base.

Because of the very special location of the Beiyan Group's industrial base, the surrounding area is a stable and permanent cosmic disaster zone, and even a T5 insect hive mothership would have a hard time escaping if it entered.

Therefore, the only option is a frontal attack.

Ten minutes later

The Leviathan-class Zerg mothership fired its bio-plasma cannon, the green beam piercing directly through the asteroid that had been transformed into a combat satellite.

The asteroid shattered into pieces, destroying all its weapons and equipment.

Seeing this scene, both Li Wei and Xu Yifan felt a pang of anxiety.

Although the terrifying combat power of this Leviathan Sovereign-class insect hive mothership was already known from the information provided by the JF-17 Legion, witnessing it in person was still terrifying.

"Report: Combat Satellite One has been destroyed."

"Twenty-seven personnel who were unable to evacuate in time were killed, and three T2 starships that were also unable to evacuate were destroyed in the process," the subordinate reported.

Although the evacuation order was issued early on, it was still very difficult to completely withdraw.

The casualties of only a few dozen people are already a pretty good number.

"Closely monitor the location of that Leviathan-class insect hive mothership, and at the same time order Combat Satellite Base Two to be ready to evacuate at any time!" Li Wei shouted sternly.

At this moment, Xu Yifan asked in the video window beside him, "Brother Li, judging from the current situation, it is impossible for us to completely defend against the enemy's attack."

When will the reinforcements from the Falcon Legion arrive?

Li Wei looked at Xu Yifan.

Xu Yifan added, "Brother Li, rest assured, I am not afraid; even without reinforcements, I, Xu Yifan, will fight to the very end here."

I just...want to know the specifics.

Li Wei glanced at Xu Yifan and said something that only the high-ranking officers of their Beiyan Defense Fleet knew.

"The last order sent back by the Dragon Lord before the communication was cut off."

Let us hold out for 72 hours no matter what; reinforcements will surely arrive within 72 hours! 𝙧𝙚𝙚𝔀𝒆𝓫𝓷𝙤𝓿𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝙤𝓶

Seventy-two hours, or three days.

It doesn't look very long.

But looking at the still massive Zerg fleet opposite him, Xu Yifan knew this was a very difficult challenge.

But no matter what, whether it's seventy-two hours or seven hundred and twenty hours, they will stay here unless they fall.

"Reporting to the Commander, all legion fleets are ready," Lilith's secretary reported to Commander Zhao Chen.

Zhao Chen decisively issued the order: "Pass on my order: the First Legion, the Second Legion, and the Third Legion of the Falcon Dragon are to prepare for interstellar jump. The coordinates have been sent."

Once you reach the coordinates, launch an attack immediately.

The Fourth Legion of the JF-17 Thunder remained on standby.

Let's get started!

"yes!"

Three Falcon Legions, comprising nearly ten thousand interstellar warships, are preparing to launch a blitzkrieg against the Snow Swallow Starfield!
