However, during these ten days, the four legion fleets of the Xiaolong and the Devouring Civilization fought fiercely for every inch of land in the C star field.
In just ten days, the number of interstellar warships lost by civilizations in the entire star field battlefield broke records, reaching 500,000 in a single day.
The Xiaolong Interstellar Empire also broke the record for the number of casualties in a single day and a single star field, reaching 50,000 interstellar warships!
To date, the total number of enemy interstellar warships destroyed in the C star system is five million, while the friendly forces have lost nearly half a million interstellar warships.
The casualties in less than ten days exceeded those in other star systems, which is enough to show how fierce the battle was in Star System C.
In contrast, the D star system, lacking one of the Dragon Legion fleet groups, saw its Third and Ninth Legion fleet groups fight valiantly, maintaining the same level of offensive intensity.
Overall, however, the intensity of the entire starfield battlefield is not comparable to that of the other two starfields.
On this battlefield in the D star system, the Devouring Civilization only lost 1.5 million interstellar warships, while the Dragon Legion fleet lost 200,000 interstellar warships.
"Your Majesty, this is our latest battle report."
So far, it's been the past month.
The shattered universe comprises five star regions, totaling one hundred and nineteen star systems.
We have complete control of forty-one star systems, twenty-three star systems are at war, and the enemy controls thirty-seven star systems.
In terms of the situation, we are now on par with the enemy.
Looking at the interstellar warships lost by both sides so far.
In total, our side lost more than 130 interstellar warships on various battlefields, accounting for about 4% of our Xiaolong Legion fleet before the start of the war.
In contrast, they destroyed more than 15 million enemy interstellar warships.
"The casualty ratio is one to eleven." The secretary reported these battlefield reports to Zhao Chen.
A month has passed since the vowed duel began.
The battle between the two sides intensified.
However, this has not yet reached the level Zhao Chen expected.
After all, Zhao Chen had vowed to end this sworn duel within six months.
"In one month, we destroyed 15 million enemy interstellar warships."
Although we do not know exactly how many interstellar warships the Devouring Civilization prepared for this oath-bound duel.
However, preliminary estimates suggest that the number is at least over 200 million.
"At the current rate of combat efficiency, in six months, we can at most destroy nine thousand enemy interstellar warships," Zhao Chen muttered, frowning slightly.
He then asked, "If we evaluate the combat data for the next month based on the highest daily enemy casualties in each star system battlefield over the past month..."
How many casualties will there be on both sides in the second month?
Upon hearing the order, the secretary immediately began to calculate.
The data was obtained quickly.
"The highest combat figures in the past month were calculated to be the destruction of four million enemy interstellar warships per day, and one hundred and twenty million enemy interstellar warships per month."
However, this is an ideal value, which is practically impossible to achieve.
To achieve this level of combat intensity, all star systems would need to reach this level of combat intensity within 24 hours over 30 days.
"That's... practically impossible," the secretary explained.
Zhao Chen fell silent.
He also knew that the requirements were very demanding.
But out of the six months, only five months remain.
Just then, a video call came in.
It's Charlotte.
Zhao Chen looked at Charlotte.
Charlotte noticed the complicated look in Zhao Chen's eyes and said, "You saw the battle reports from the previous month, right?"
Zhao Chen nodded.
He said seriously, "To be honest."
I had anticipated that in the first month of the sworn duel, the efficiency of eliminating the enemy would not be too fast because the battlefield had just been set up.
But if it's just about destroying 15 million enemy interstellar warships...
This is far below previous expectations.
Charlotte made no excuses for this, nodding in agreement and saying, "When I saw these data reports, I wasn't very satisfied with the results either."
But I've witnessed the battles of this past month, the battlefields of every star system and galaxy.
I think I should know the reason for this.
At the same time, I also believe that this situation will change dramatically in the following second and third months.
Zhao Chen looked at Charlotte with a puzzled expression, wanting to get an answer from her.
Charlotte raised her hand and opened an interstellar war sandbox, on which she could see the current battle situation in the shattered universe of Zaun.
The number of interstellar warships on both sides in each star system can be clearly seen from there.
All of this naturally relies on the intelligence network established by the Ghost Scouts Elite Fleet in Zaun, a shattered universe.
Putting everything else aside, the performance of the Ghost Scout Elite Fleet alone in this battle was at least very satisfactory to Zhao Chen.
Let's get back to the main topic.
Charlotte pointed to the various star systems on the interstellar war sandbox and said, "I've taken a look."
At the start of the battle, the Devouring Civilization dispatched fleets of its legion to various star systems, much like a shower of flowers from a fairy maiden.
In reality, the number of ships stationed in most star systems was no more than 300,000. Only in a very few star systems that encountered fierce resistance did the Devouring Civilization Legion's fleet gather a large number of interstellar warships.
Take, for example, the A-10 star system, which is currently engaged in fierce combat.
But those only account for about 10% of it.
Therefore, in the first month of the battle, we did not encounter any significant obstacles in most of the galactic battlefields.
Think about it.
One star system has 100,000 interstellar warships, and the entire broken universe of Zaun only has a little over a hundred star systems.
By this calculation, the Devouring Civilization has only dispatched a little over 30 million interstellar warships.
Compared to the interstellar warships that the Devouring Civilization had stockpiled before the war, this was nothing at all.
Since these small interstellar fleets of 300,000 are completely ineffective in stopping us.
Why would the Devouring Civilization deploy its forces in these star systems beforehand, only to waste them?
Zhao Chen looked suspicious.
"The first thing is to disperse our forces."
If we control these galaxies, does that mean we need to station troops in these galaxies?
Currently, we deploy three legions of fleets to garrison a single star system, which is approximately 10,000 interstellar warships; some more important star systems will deploy 30,000 to 50,000 interstellar warships.
For example, of the ten bridgehead positions, apart from the A-10 system which is still in battle, the other nine systems are currently garrisoned by 50,000 interstellar warships.
To date, we have 41 star systems under our complete control, and we have deployed a total of one million interstellar warships in these systems.
Of course, these are essential truths.
After all, these star systems all need to maintain our logistical supply lines.
Our interstellar transport ships need to depart from the Bridgehead Base system first, and then transport the combat supplies needed by the frontline legion fleet to the frontline battlefield.
This space requires our interstellar fleet to be stationed and protected.
This was unavoidable in this kind of battle.
Zhao Chen nodded. With this arrangement, one million interstellar warships would be stationed.
This is equivalent to directly occupying one-thirtieth of their total military strength, or 3%.
A number that doesn't seem very big.
I didn't understand what you meant.
"Since this is a normal arrangement, there's absolutely no need for the Devouring Civilization to go through all this trouble." Zhao Chen spread his hands in confusion.
"Let's say that the civilization that devoured us sent 300,000 interstellar warships to their deaths in these star systems."
"Is it really a kind of sacrifice?" Charlotte said with a serious expression.
Zhao Chen immediately became respectful.
"Actually, I didn't realize this first; it was an officer in my staff who came up with it."
That Black God Emperor is not a fool; he wouldn't make decisions without a reason.
We also know that the Devouring Civilization obtained something called the'Soul Altar' from the Order.
The unique feature of the Soul Altar is that it can draw upon soul power to summon a dark legion fleet.
This is something we're all too familiar with on the battlefield.
Is there any possibility?
I'm saying hypothetically, because we have no evidence to support this.
In other words, the Black God Emperor possesses a technology, or some kind of means.
You can directly summon the Dark Legion fleet, or similar forces, in areas where battles have taken place.
Imagine it.
These star systems, which were originally located behind us, have suddenly been overrun by enemy interstellar fleets.
And this happened while we were engaged in fierce fighting on the front lines.
That would have a terrifying impact on us!
Upon hearing this...
Zhao Chen felt a chill run down his spine.
But he did not deny it, because this was a battle against the Devouring Civilization, which was backed by a T7-level technological order.
Therefore, Zhao Chen had no doubt that the Devouring Civilization would use any technology or technology it possessed.
In this way, the Black God Emperor's unreasonable tactical deployment can be explained.
"As for why it's 300,000 interstellar warships..."
And we pushed it back so much.
There's something we should think about.
We need to establish a stargate at the bridgehead to transport the interstellar legion fleet of our Dragon Star Empire.
Similarly, devouring civilizations also requires doing so.
And relatively speaking, their pressure is far greater than ours.
We only need to transport a total of 30 million combat-type interstellar warships.
What about them?
There must be at least 200 million interstellar warships.
This does not even include the transport capacity of the logistics supply transport ship fleet needed to sustain frontline operations.
If we calculate it this way...
I estimate that in the first month of this war, the entire fleet of the civilization-devouring legion may not have been deployed to the shattered universe of Zaun.
This has led to the current situation where we are fighting against the combined fleets of the Devouring Civilization Interstellar Legion on the front lines in various locations.
There are less than 100 million interstellar warships.
Even including the stationed and rotating interstellar warships in the rear, the number is only around 150 million interstellar warships.
"This data was obtained by the Ghost Scout Elite Fleet, and it's absolutely reliable," Charlotte analyzed.
Zhao Chen rubbed his chin and said thoughtfully, "According to your statement..."
In fact, the Black God Emperor has been waiting all along for an opportunity.
This opportunity might come when they are about to assemble their entire interstellar legion fleet!
Charlotte nodded and said seriously, "The Black God Emperor will definitely not be unprepared for this oath duel."
We have our battle plans, and they naturally have theirs.
Therefore, in the battle that follows.
While launching a high-intensity offensive, we must also be wary of unforeseen circumstances!
Charlotte's last words were very serious.
That means being prepared to take on the challenge.
"Should we slow down our attack?"
"After all, the more star systems we conquer, the more space we need to be wary of," Zhao Chen said solemnly.
However, the idea of slowing down the pace of the attack and ending the sworn duel within six months seems like a distant prospect.
He felt like he had two heads to swell up inside him.
Charlotte shook her head and said, "I think we should be careful, but we shouldn't let that disrupt our battle rhythm."
We should still launch our attack.
After all, only by taking the initiative to attack can they hope to end this vowed duel within six months.
Therefore, the proactive offensive strategy must remain unchanged.
Furthermore, compressing the enemy's combat space means that the enemy's interstellar warships will increasingly gather in the remaining star systems.
In the course of battle, the intensity of our engagements will increase, and consequently, the number of enemy troops we annihilate will also increase.
Charlotte's meaning is very simple.
To catch fish, you naturally need to drive them all to one place.
To quickly end this sworn duel with the Devouring Civilization, it is necessary to compress the battlefield, so that the elite legion fleets of the Dragon Star Empire and their tactical methods can have room to maneuver.
You're right.
We cannot let our worries about the Black God Emperor's methods disrupt our own rhythm.
We must continue our offensive openly and honestly.
At the same time, we must be wary of the possible methods that the Black God Emperor might have prepared for us.
"Respond to all changes with constancy!" Zhao Chen said solemnly.
Charlotte nodded and said, "I have informed the commanders of the various legion fleets to prepare contingency plans during this offensive period to prevent any possible situations from occurring."
At the same time, I requested that Zhong Xiaoxia's Ghost Scout Ace Fleet gather as much intelligence information as possible that would be beneficial to us.
Know yourself and know your enemy, and you will win every battle.
In addition, I had someone contact Lilith's secretary at the rear and asked her to make some contingency plans in case something serious really happens.
They can also respond promptly, ensuring the supply of resources to the front lines!
