Chapter 1171 The Consumption of Two Legions in One Day
Based on the intelligence obtained from various sources over the years, especially from the Hiltek Empire.
Bennett didn't think he could hold on for eight days.
Moreover, although no one knows what methods the Canglong Alliance used, since they have launched a large-scale attack, it means that they are not afraid of the Empire taking back the entrance to the passage.
But how did the Canglong Alliance do it?
etc.

The Fire Fleet sent by the Lanfeng Kingdom
Damn, I should have persisted more!
Gritting his teeth, Bennett finally realized where the problem lay.
At the beginning, when Sharrett suggested that other civilizations should exchange their complete technological libraries for the right to seek refuge in the Black Mang Empire, Bennett opposed it.
However, his opposition was immediately rebuked by Sharret, and he did not continue to oppose it.
If I had been more persistent at the time, would this loophole not exist?
Bennett couldn't help but think so.
However, whether he insisted or not, the result would not have changed.
Because their emperor, Sharrett had already made up his mind to do so. If Bennett had continued to sing a different tune, he might have even been stripped of his position as the supreme commander of the imperial fleet.
Well, now that it has come to this, it’s too late to say anything.
For Bennett at this moment, the only thing he can do is to hold on for eight days.
If it can be defended, there is still hope for the empire. If it cannot be defended, then the empire will be destroyed. There is no other possibility!
——
90 minutes later.
The war came as expected, and fierce gunfire broke out as soon as the two sides came into contact.
However, although the exchange of fire was fierce, the losses were one-sided.
The warships used by the Federation's main fleet are simply a dimensionality reduction attack on a god-level civilization like the Black Mang Empire.
"Commander, the casualties are too great. In just ten minutes, we have lost 1.5 trillion warships. At this rate, we will lose two fleets every day on average!"
Looking at the real-time data, the adjutant looked anxious.
They only have ten main legions and twenty secondary legions here. Judging from the current rate of loss, all the legions will be wiped out in more than ten days.
The combat power of both sides is not at the same level at all.
The most fatal thing is that the originally perfect defense of the passage should have been for the army to guard the entrance of the passage, and then use the absolute difference in troop strength to suppress the enemies rushing out of the passage.
But I don't know what Bennett had in mind, and he made all the legions enter the passage to fight.
In this way, everyone is in the channel, and the number of warships that can be attacked by both sides at the same time is equal.
In other words, the only advantage that the Black Mang Empire still had was its numbers, which were completely wiped out.
The adjutant totally didn't understand why his commander would give up this only advantage?
However, he didn't know.
Bennett didn't want this to happen, but there was no other way!
If we fight a defensive battle at the entrance of the passage, although we have the advantage in numbers, the enemy will also rush out of the passage.
With the combat effectiveness of the human fleet and the large number of black cavity life forms, they can easily break out of the encirclement by making a hole in the defense line of the Black Man Empire fleet.
After all, if you want to build a defense circle with firepower dozens of times that of the enemy, it also means that the defense line becomes weak.
Although this is not a problem for civilizations of equal strength, it is a fatal blow to the Canglong Alliance, whose combat effectiveness is obviously much higher than theirs.
There is another key point, that is, what Bennett has to do is not to defeat the opponent, but to hold on for eight days.
So, how can we hold on for eight days?
So, Bennett came up with an idea to stuff all the fleets into the channel and completely block it.
I will fight you in this narrow passage. If you want to get through, you have to kill us all and then step over our corpses.
However, with thirty legions, even if you don't fight back and let them attack you, I'm afraid you won't be able to kill them all in eight days.
After all, your fleet cannot be deployed in this narrow channel, and it is already very good to have hundreds of billions of warships attacking at the same time each time.
So, when Bennett heard his adjutant say that two legions were lost every day, he was not in a hurry at all.
Everything is under control!
Two legions per day means the loss of sixteen legions after eight days.
As long as the problem of the fault channel can be solved in eight days, everything can be turned around.
In this case, the loss of sixteen legions is definitely worth it.
"Issue a death order to fight the Canglong Alliance in the passage. If any warships are destroyed on the front line, the follow-up warships will immediately fill in and ensure that the firepower points on the front line are intact!"
"At the same time, have my personal guards form a supervisory team and guard the entrance to the passage. If anyone escapes, destroy them directly without asking for permission!"
"Finally, keep communicating with the 115th Special Forces. I want to know their progress at any time, as well as their situation after we arrive!"
With a wave of his hand, Bennett gave the order again.
The adjutant still had a sad face. He had just reported such a huge loss, but his commander seemed not to have heard it.
With a slight sigh, the adjutant immediately went to carry out Bennett's latest order.
——
One day later.
Although I have been prepared for this, I think the price is worth it.
But when Bennett heard his adjutant report that the losses on the front line had reached as high as two legions, he couldn't help but feel a little pain.
These are two legions, with a total of 200 trillion warships!
They were gone within a day, and in this situation where only hundreds of billions of warships could fire at the same time, the performance of human warships is so horrible.
"Report, unreported warships were found behind the base camp, number two. According to the database match, they are two motherships of the Lanfeng Kingdom, and they have entered the range!"
"Asshole, why did you notice it so close?"
"Commander, after all, long-range scanning is directional, not wide-area. Now all long-range scanning is focused on the battlefield, not on the rear!"
"Order the headquarters' fleet to attack immediately!"
"But Commander, according to our IFF system, they are friendly forces!"
"Nonsense, how come those two special formations didn't react? Are the people pretending to be refugees in the Mist Wind Kingdom's Fire Fleet really them?"
"this"
"Stop talking nonsense, attack immediately, all fleets at the base camp, don't give them any chance!"
"Yes, Commander!"
Now, except for Bennett's two guard fleets, the rest of the fleet entered the channel.
And one of the two guard fleets went to the entrance of the passage to act as a supervisory team.
Therefore, there was only one guard corps left in the base camp.
But the good thing is that there are only two motherships at present, and they have hundreds of trillions of warships. No matter how strong humans are, it is impossible for them to have two ships against hundreds of trillions, right?
"Commander-in-chief, the Second Guards Corps has locked onto the target!"
"All ships, fire!"
"Understood, the order has been issued, the fleet has opened fire!"
