"According to the information feedback from the other side, they will also complete their preparations within the scheduled time,"
"Good, prepare to connect to the holographic combat system,"
Li Ruiqi gave the order.
Putmi then directed the operators to carry out the operation.
A prompt popped up on the virtual screen.
"Connection progress at twelve percent."
When the progress bar hit one hundred, a massive holographic projection popped up in an instant.
In the starry sky, ahead of the Black Brilliance and Green Gore, countless ships and mechas gathered, forming two densely packed formations.
Ships, mechas, and interstellar fighters periodically detached from the mother ship and entered the designated areas in the formations.
To the left was the Federation’s.
Core Legions participating in the battle.
First Legion: Deployed a total of 1 Level 3 Battleship Black Teeth *1, Level 2 Medium Battlecruisers *2, Level 1 Light Guard Ships *3, 3rd Generation Mechas *7, 2nd Generation Mechas 86, 1st Generation Mechas 342, CK-03 Type Spiky Light Interstellar Fighters 300, with a total personnel count of 30,142.
Second Legion: Deployed a total of Level 2 Medium Battlecruisers *2, Level 1 Light Guard Ships *3, 3rd Generation Mechas *5, 2nd Generation Mechas 65, 1st Generation Mechas 272, CK-03 Type Spiky Light Interstellar Fighters 230, with a total personnel count of 18,142.
Third Legion: Deployed a total of Level 2 Medium Battlecruisers *2, Level 1 Light Guard Ships *2, 3rd Generation Mechas *4, 2nd Generation Mechas 50, 1st Generation Mechas 232, CK-03 Type Spiky Light Interstellar Fighters 200, with a total personnel count of 16,142.
GT Department: Deployed a total of Level 2 Medium Battlecruisers *3, Level 1 Light Guard Ships *5, 4th Generation Mechas *8, 3rd Generation Mechas *36, 2nd Generation Mechas 200, 1st Generation Mechas 1,024, CK-03 Type Spiky Light Interstellar Fighters 1,000, with a total personnel count of 30,142.
Additional combat personnel: 412,013, equipped with various mechas, battleships, interstellar fighters, etc. The quantity is a bit more than the Federation’s regular troops, but their combat abilities are incomparable.
Green Gore also had an extraordinary lineup.
A total of 32 various escort ships participated, with a combined 3,000 mechas of various models, among which 6 were 4th Generation Mechas. There were even more than 4,000 interstellar fighters, with a participating personnel count that reached an astonishing 500,000+.
Overall, the Federation’s forces still had the advantage, outstripping the opposition by more than double.
At this point, all key forces from both sides were displayed in icon form.
Especially the 4th Generation Mecha pilots’ avatars, with some showing data links online. Below them, two horizontal bars appeared, one indicating the mecha damage state, the other showing the pilot’s life state.
Even though these forces looked quite impressive, Li Ruiqi and others did not feel a bit of excitement or happiness.
This was Black Brilliance’s entire asset.
Time trickled by, and the moment the agreed time arrived, Beilo’s holographic image connected.
"Lord Li Ruiqi, are you all ready?"
Li Ruiqi took a deep breath and replied, "We are ready."
"Then let us begin," Official source is noⅴelfire.net
Beilo said decisively.
Li Ruiqi nodded in response.
Then both sides began issuing various orders.
"Order all ships to disperse in a cruciform pattern!"
"Order all mobile units to depart."
Just at that moment, the neat grid formation in front of the Black Brilliance and Green Gore changed, as the ships began to spread out into a cross-formation and a large number of interstellar fighters and mechas further adjusted their positions.
In just half an hour, the massive fleet had fully deployed.
Immediately afterward, Li Ruiqi began issuing orders, "Convey my command: the Second Legion is in charge of attacking Planet C181; the Third Legion is responsible for Planet C182. The extra-divisional units will assist the Second and Third Legions’ attack. The First Legion, in collaboration with GT Department and the ace units of the Green Golem fleet, will mount a frontal assault on the Insect Nest on Planet C185."
"Orders have been relayed."
In the starry heavens, Su Mo piloted the Gluttonous Mecha to the very forefront, with Shiris in the Dark Warrior floating beside him.
However, the two of them did not exchange a single word.
At that moment, two more mechas flew over: the Fourth Generation Biological Mecha "Red Eye" from the Yanas Kingdom and the Fourth Generation Pure Mechanical Mecha "Spiky Blade."
Su Mo looked at the vanguard lineup, feeling somewhat uneasy.
Shiris was alright; his strength was quite formidable. But as for the two Fourth Generation mechas from Yanas Kingdom, Su Mo had witnessed their capabilities, and to be honest, they were somewhat average.
He spoke quietly with the Fake Owner "Swallower."
"Xiao Shi, why do I feel like the other vanguards aren’t very reliable? If they can’t hold their ground, could we end up in an embarrassing situation of being overwhelmed?"
"Yes, you’d better pray that they can hold out for some time," answered the Fake Owner "Swallower" gravely.
Su Mo inhaled deeply and said, "Keep an eye on them for me. Let me know if they seem like they can’t hold out much longer."
The Fake Owner "Swallower" did not respond to Su Mo’s comment.
Just then, inside Green Gore’s command room, a red alert warning popped up on the holographic display screen.
A somewhat panicked operator reported,
"Report, our covert surveillance devices indicate abnormal activity in the Insect Nest. A massive swarm is pouring out. It seems like the enemy has realized we’re about to attack and is mustering their forces."
Beilo was not surprised in the least as she said, "What’s the panic? This is within expectations."
At this time, Li Ruiqi spoke up from his holographic image, "Since that’s the case, let’s move out."
"Alright, the entire army, attack!"
Beilo directly issued the order.
Li Ruiqi issued his command as well.
In an instant, upon receiving the order, Su Mo propelled the Gluttonous Mecha forward.
He was followed by a dense crowd of mobile units, with a series of interstellar battleships flying behind them.
The Black Brilliance, with Putmi constantly reporting the latest situation,
"Scanning a massive number of insect swarms."
"The number... heavens! Nearly ten million strong, and still increasing..."
"The left flank attacking C181 and C182 is estimated to make first contact with the insect swarm in 17 minutes and 21 seconds!"
"On the main front, we are expected to make first contact with the insect swarm in 23 minutes and 14 seconds."
"The numbers on the front are astonishing, and high energy reactions have been detected."
A glance over the scanning screen was like seeing it dyed red!
In the command room, those observing the battle, including Augustus, involuntarily gasped. Although they had known that the number of insects was large, the sight of such a scale left everyone unsettled.
Li Ruiqi displayed no fear. A glint of cold light flashed in his eyes as he said in a stern voice, "Third Army Commander Sebastian, Third Army Commander Bricas, heed my command."
Two Legion Leaders clad in Third Generation Mechanical Armor, their eyes sharp and exuding a strong aura of murderous intent, saluted and responded,
