If one were to compare the Federation's current strength with the four super civilizations, then the Federation should be more powerful than the four super civilizations.
In that case, the Federation should be stronger in local conflicts. However, if a full-scale conflict were to erupt, the Federation would still be somewhat powerless.
Even if the Federation was not weaker than the four super civilizations in terms of peak strength, they were too few in number.
In terms of the number of forces in the middle, the Federation was much weaker.
Take the Federation's latest Black Armor Fleet as an example. It was undoubtedly powerful, but the problem was that there were only 100 million of them.
It was fine for a surprise attack, but if the Federation wanted to fight the four super civilizations head-on, they would send 100 billion battleships to deal with the Federation. Even if the Black Armor Fleet was powerful, it was not powerful enough to ignore the difference in numbers.
Therefore, Lin Fan sent out two Level 11 Dark Energy Envoys in the first wave of attacks as a form of insurance.
At this moment, more than half of the Lothar Republic's defense line at the Ocean Current node had been destroyed. The loss of battleships had exceeded 200 billion. If not for the sufficient reserve forces, the Federation's fleet would have collapsed long ago.
At this point, no matter how unwilling Spet was, he had to use the tactic of adding fuel to the fire.
It should be known that the Lothar Republic's fleet here was not only the 1.5 trillion battleships at the Ocean Current node. In the Jurtes Star System group, all their forces added up to more than 10 trillion.
This feeling was just like when they were fighting the Zergs. No matter how many they killed, the Zergs would immediately rush over to fill the gap. It was as if they could never kill all the Zergs.
"Admiral Sophia, we can't go on like this. If we can't destroy the fleet at the defense line as soon as possible and let the fleet spread out, once the enemy's reinforcements arrive, we will be trapped here. After all, we don't have any logistics now!"
"You have an idea, kid?"
"Lady Zi Yuan and Lady Zi Ling can't move for now, but I can gather all the Level 10 Dark Energy Envoys' battleships and use their powerful firepower to blast a hole in the enemy's defense line!"
"That's a good idea, but if you move them like this, they will definitely notice. Once they focus their fire … After all, you don't have the Black Armor!"
Sophia understood Wang Hai's plan, but she felt that it was too risky.
Even if it was a warship with a tenth-order dark energy envoy, it would not be able to withstand the concentrated fire of the enemy's warships.
The battle had been going on for two hours. The warships in the Netherworld Fleet that were suspected to have level-ten dark energy users had probably been marked by the enemy long ago.
Therefore, once the enemy commander had good insight, it was very likely that he would directly launch a concentrated fire attack on the assembled battleships. It was really too dangerous.
"I understand. That's why I need General Sofia's cooperation!"
"How?"
"Let's do this …"
-----
At the same time, the Republic of Rosa's war fortress.
At this moment, Sbethe was in a terrible fix. He had probably never thought that he would have to resort to such a stupid tactic like adding fuel to the fire.
But now, this method, which he thought was the stupidest, had become the only tactic he could use at the moment.
How sad was that?
"Is there still no news from the high command?"
"Yes, Marshal. Ever since we were informed that the surrounding fleets would be the first to provide support, there has been no new news!"
"Damn it. In just two hours, I lost nearly 300 billion battleships, and this is when the enemy only arrived with a little more than a billion battleships. But what about a few hours later, or a dozen hours later?"
Sbethe was a little annoyed.
Just because he lost 300 billion battleships in two hours of battle did not mean that he could hold on for a day with only a billion battleships.
It should be known that this loss was only caused by the enemy's billions of battleships. But what about a few hours later?
By then, the enemy would not only have a billion battleships, but billions of battleships. By then, the loss of an hour would be far greater than the loss of two hours now.
And at this critical moment, the fleets of the nearby civilizations were still dragging their feet and had not set off until now.
How could Bast not be angry?
"Marshal, the situation of the enemy fleet has changed. About tens of thousands of battleships are gathering at the front of their formation!"
"Tens of thousands? What's there to report about such a small movement?"
"Marshal, the key is that these are the battleships that we have previously marked. They are suspected to have level-eleven dark energy envoys!"
"What, are you sure?"
"Yes, I'm very sure!"
Hearing this, Bast's heart suddenly thumped.
Tens of thousands of battleships with level-ten dark energy envoys gathered together …
Just thinking about it made Bast's scalp go numb!
It should be known that even the Lothar Republic, a top level-ten technological civilization, only had two-digit number of level-ten dark energy envoys.
However, if these two-digit number of dark energy envoys were all gathered together, the destructive power would still be very terrifying.
Not to say annihilate all of them, but it would not be a problem to destroy a defense line with one strike.
But listen, what did the adjutant just report?
They directly gathered tens of thousands of level-ten dark energy envoys. What were they trying to do?
"Order all the fleets that can attack their assembly point to attack with full force. No matter how much we have to pay, we must annihilate them all!"
"Yes, Marshal!"
Under the order, the fleets that could attack the target on the defense line all began to adjust their attack direction and prepared to launch a salvo.
However, a black, ghost-like fleet rushed over and instantly broke into the formation of these fleets. The formation of these fleets that had just been prepared was directly broken into pieces.
"Quick, position 075-000. After charging, inform Admiral Sophia to avoid the attack route!"
"Yes, Commander!"
After seeing the Black Armor Fleet ruthlessly penetrate the enemy's formation, Wang Hai immediately seized the opportunity and prepared to launch the shocking attack in the plan.
One after another, dark energy matrices formed in front of each warship. Regardless of size, thickness, or the dazzling light, they were far superior to the other Netherworld Warships.
This was more than 20,000 level-ten dark energy envoys. One could imagine what kind of scene it would be if 20,000 Lin Yu attacked at the same time.
When Wang Hai's side was ready, Sophia also led the Black Armor Fleet to an emergency dodge.
After all, even the Black Armor Fleet would not be able to withstand such an attack!
Fortunately, they were on the same side and would not open fire before the Black Armor Fleet completely dodged.
Half a minute later, the Black Armor Fleet had already charged out from the other side of the formation and completely avoided the attack area set by Wang Hai.
"Begin the attack!"
"Understood, begin the attack!"
No one knew what happened. The dazzling silver-white light completely caused everyone to temporarily lose their vision. When their vision gradually recovered, they could see …
There was only the hemispherical defense line that had a huge hole in it.
Almost 50 billion warships were all annihilated in an instant. Not even a speck of dust was left.
"Leave 500 million warships to maintain the bridgehead at the ocean current port. The rest of the fleets, immediately charge out from the hole that was torn open. Don't give the enemy a chance to plug the hole again!"
"Yes, Commander!"
