Chapter 294 Crisis
Just as Mu Chen started to return to the Federation, the Earth Federation suddenly encountered an unprecedented crisis.
Origin Star.
This was originally the capital planet of the Horned Demons, but it was completely captured by the Federation's Third Fleet a year ago. Now it has become the eleventh living planet of the Earth Federation.
However, since there are still remaining Horned Demons on the planet, the Earth Federation did not immigrate to the planet, but instead asked the Third Fleet to completely eliminate the planet.
The Origin Star is an extremely high-quality life planet with abundant water resources, beautiful environment, and pleasant climate. Of course, the Federation does not want it to suffer too much damage due to war, so it can only take its time.
At this time, in the Temple of Origin, which had been converted into a temporary headquarters, the current commander-in-chief of the Third Fleet, Admiral Fu Cheng, was nervously staring at the holographic projection in front of him.
As a commander, of course he looks at the overall situation of the battlefield.
Tens of thousands of the Federation's latest silver S-type disaster-level mechas were seen neatly arrayed outside the starry sky, almost covering the entire starry sky.
In front of these S-type disaster-class mechas is a defense line composed of more than twenty planet-class battleships and three star-class main ships.
There are also more than a dozen war-god-level mechas of various models mixed in among them.
Further back, there is a defense line composed of battleships and mechas. There are more than 30 Ares-class mechas in it.
Behind them is an earth-yellow planet covered with dense defensive positions.
"How long will it take for the enemy to reach the battlefield?" Fu Cheng asked in a low voice.
Such a lineup, if it were changed before, would have been enough to sweep away all the military power of the Horned Demon, but at this moment, it could not bring him the slightest sense of security.
"General, according to the staff's calculations, those unknown creatures will arrive at the first line of defense on the Stone Star in 1 minute and 17 seconds." The adjutant behind him replied.
"How long will it take for Commander Li's reinforcements to arrive?" Fu Cheng asked, and then suddenly cursed: "TMD, where did these messy things come from?"
"It is expected that the first batch of reinforcements will enter the battlefield in 5 minutes. According to the staff plan, they will directly join the second line of defense. The second and third batches of reinforcements will arrive in 12 minutes and 21 minutes respectively. , then it will depend on the battlefield situation to decide which defense line they will join."
Fu Cheng remained silent.
He understood what the staff meant. This arrangement meant that the first line of defense might not be able to hold on for even three minutes.
The second line of defense, or even the third line of defense, is the real battlefield.
As the commander-in-chief of this battle, he has more issues to consider.
In the unlikely event that the three lines of defense deployed on the Stone Star fail to stop the enemy, the Origin Star will directly face an attack from an unknown enemy. At that time, where will the Third Fleet responsible for garrisoning the Origin Star go?
Should we retreat temporarily to preserve the strength of our troops, or fight to the death with the enemy on the Origin Star?
Speaking of which, I really have to thank the mecha remote control technology developed by the Federal Institute of Science. Otherwise, as long as the three lines of defense of the Stone Star are defeated, almost all the soldiers in his hands will die, and there will be no choice at all. room.
Unlike now, no matter how much the losses are, they are just mechas and battleships. With the military inventory of the Third Fleet, although such losses are huge, they can barely afford it for the time being.
But even so, he must make a decision.
Because except for the reinforcements that have not yet arrived, all the long-range mecha warriors of the Third Fleet are among the battleships staying on the Origin Star.
If they don't withdraw, it won't be the mechas that will be lost, but the mecha warriors that are currently extremely valuable to the Federation.
And if he wanted to withdraw, it would be equivalent to giving up the newly acquired Origin Star. This responsibility, as the commander-in-chief, he must bear.
Although even if he doesn't retreat, after one battle, no matter whether he wins or loses, the Origin Star will be almost useless, but its nature is completely different.
In the end, Fu Cheng decided to take off the battleship first and be ready to retreat at any time.
No matter how much the material losses were, it was not as valuable as the lives of the soldiers. Even if he was beaten to the end after this battle, he would not be able to watch these soldiers under him die.
Fortunately, this is the Origin Star, not the Earth, otherwise...
At this moment, Fu Cheng could only comfort himself in this way.
…………
Three hours ago, Earth time, the Federation's Third Fleet, which was performing a cleanup mission on the Origin Star, suddenly received an alert. Countless unknown creatures outside the federal control range were flying towards the Origin Star. Through energy level monitoring, the target could be determined. The danger level is: SSS.
As the commander-in-chief of the Third Fleet, Fu Cheng certainly understood what this danger level meant.
Generally speaking, enemies that can reach the God of War level of combat power will be judged as S-level, which means they are beyond the norm and need to be treated with caution.
If the number of Ares-level combat forces is more than 10 and less than 50, they are SS-level, which requires one or several main fleets of the Federation to cope with it. The previous horned demon forces were rated as SS-level.
The SSS level means that the enemy's strength has completely exceeded the conventional range. This is no longer a problem that needs to be faced by a certain force or a certain region, but a super event that may lead to the demise of the Federation, such as the Amethyst Fleet. Intrusion incident.
So when he received the alarm, Fu Cheng did not hesitate to ask for help from all parties, and at the same time deployed the Boulder Star defense line according to the recommendations of the staff.
The military also gave Fu Cheng a death order to stick to the Origin Star and wait for reinforcements to arrive.
Since the war with the Horned Demons went very smoothly in the later stages, no help was needed at all, and the other troops were stationed far away.
So in fact, the only reinforcements Fu Cheng could count on in a short period of time were the nearest Blood Prison Star.
In addition to the Crimson Training Camp, there are three mecha warrior training camps of the same size on the Blood Prison Star. Taken together, there can be about 60 God of War level combatants.
When Mu Chen first left, the war-god-level combat power in the Crimson Training Camp alone far exceeded this figure. However, after such a long time, it was impossible for those mecha warriors who had broken through to the war-god level to stay in the training camp. Some of them were scattered among the various armies.
In fact, 60 God of War levels are already a lot.
The God of War is not a big deal. After the Third Fleet completed the landing battle on the Origin Star, there were only less than 50 God of War left in the fleet.
Fu Cheng now only hopes that they can arrive quickly.
Because through holographic projection, he has seen countless surfaces in the distant starry sky ringed with energy flames, which look like meteorite-like things that are rubbing and burning with the atmosphere, and are heading towards the giant stone star's defense line.
