Getting back to the main point, on the battlefield...

The interstellar destroyers that the Drought Demon King was so proud of were completely outmatched by the interstellar destroyers of the opposing Xiaolong series.

In conjunction with the attack of other Xiaolong-class interstellar warships.

In the first ten minutes or so of the engagement, the Imperial Guard fleet actually managed to get a taste of victory.

However, the drought demon king did not panic.

After all, the difference in the number of interstellar warships between the two sides was obvious; their side had a full 100,000 ships.

But at this moment, the drought demon king secretly made a small move.

Instruct your adjutant to contact the garrisons in the surrounding star systems and have them set off immediately.

The order issued stated that the Drought Demon King Legion fleet had discovered and entangled the Emperor Dragon Emperor's Imperial Guard fleet, and that they should immediately come to cooperate in encircling and annihilating this Imperial Guard fleet.

Whether they are below or above, people like to say things that are in their own interest.

Even kings are the same.

Moreover, there's the fact that his Drought Demon King-class heavy strategic interplanetary destroyer hasn't even made a move yet.

The Drought Demon King was quite confident in his super flagship.

After all, this is his proudest work.

As the number of interstellar warships engaged in combat increased, the balance of power indeed began to tilt toward the Drought Demon King's fleet.

After all, no matter how excellent the Xiaolong series interstellar warships are, or how strong the Emperor's Guard fleet's interstellar warships are.

One against five is still something to talk about.

But what if it becomes a situation where one fights twenty or thirty?

That would be relatively bad.

But Zhao Chen didn't panic; instead, he calmly appreciated the situation before him.

He was watching Xiong Xiangxiang on the other side of the video window.

He also remembered Charlotte talking to him about what Xiong Xiangxiang had said during their free time.

This is a junior with strong combat talent, and not the kind of general with special abilities in a particular area.

Characters like Su Lan, Chi Tong, Zhao Wan'er, and the wolf girl Bai Xue.

Xiong Xiangxiang is a general with strong overall capabilities. She has a great sense of the big picture and knows exactly how many battles she has to fight.

They were able to arrange their limited forces perfectly and utilize them to the fullest extent.

According to Charlotte's assessment, Xiong Xiangxiang is the number one talent among all the generals of the current Xiaolong.

This is why, among so many younger generations, Charlotte chose to appoint Xiong Xiangxiang as the commander of the Imperial Guard fleet.

The commander of this Imperial Guard fleet was not of high rank; he wasn't even a marshal.

However, the heights she can reach in the future are different.

Once released from Zhao Chen's territory, this panda girl will sweep across the land like a tiger descending from the mountain.

Charlotte had long harbored feelings for her.

This is an important part of a new military reform for the future Xiaolong Interstellar Empire.

And Xiong Xiangxiang is a crucial part of it.

That all happened later.

Let's get back to the present.

Zhao Chen looked at Xiong Xiangxiang, waiting for her next move.

Xiong Xiangxiang did indeed make arrangements.

The interstellar missile ship, which had been inactive until now, stepped forward at this moment.

The T5 Scarlet Reaper-class heavy interplanetary strategic missile ship and the T6 Blood Angel-class heavy interplanetary strategic missile ship have been awaited for a long time.

Those missile silos and missile launchers have been quietly waiting there for orders for a long time.

Now is the time for them to act.

Unlike the previous saturation firepower strikes against the interstellar heavy artillery ships, this time Xiong Xiangxiang ordered precision strikes against these interstellar missile ships!

Xiong Xiangxiang has planned out each strike zone for these interstellar missile ships.

At the same time, information about these areas to be attacked was also transmitted to the Xiaolong-class interstellar warships that were fighting ahead.

Command the captains of those Dragon-class interstellar warships to stay away from these areas during this time.

Soon, the captains of these JF-17 interstellar warships could see, if they looked up and looked through the bridge windows, interstellar missiles with trailing flames appearing behind them and then rushing towards the front.

Ultimately, it exploded not far from its own starship.

The shockwaves and cyclones from the explosion carried away the wreckage of the interstellar warships, which pelted them like raindrops against the hull.

The crackling sounds were enough to indicate the location of the interstellar missile explosions.

How close I am to them.

If these interstellar missiles miss their mark, or if the positions of these Xiaolong-class interstellar warships deviate slightly, then these interstellar missiles could potentially land on their heads.

It must be said that Xiong Xiangxiang's operation was truly bold and meticulous.

Ordinary commanders would probably not dare to take this risk, after all, if their own interstellar missile ships accidentally bomb their own interstellar warships, resulting in casualties.

This is absolutely grounds for a military court.

Therefore, ordinary military commanders would not risk their honor.

But it's different with Xiong Xiangxiang; she never cares about the process, only the result.

She will choose whatever method can achieve her desired goal in the fastest, most convenient, and most economical way.

The precise strikes by the interstellar missile ships in this round have indeed been effective.

If you look closely, you'll find that these interstellar missile ships are attacking the enemy fleets that are besieging the Xiaolong-class interstellar warships.

These interstellar missile attacks can disrupt the enemy fleet, giving our own interstellar fleet a chance to catch its breath.

This is Xiong Xiangxiang's purpose.

After these interstellar missile ships completed this round of firepower.

Xiong Xiangxiang did not forget to immediately arrange for the accompanying interstellar supply ships to replenish these interstellar missile ships, so that they could restore their combat capabilities as soon as possible and prepare for the next round of interstellar missile bombardment.

At the same time, Zhao Chen also saw that the aircraft carriers that had been stationed in place were now making moves.

A large number of starfighters and star drones were launched.

On the T5 Fire Kirin-class heavy aircraft carrier starship and the T6 Divine Wing Queen-class super-heavy aircraft carrier starship, one can see a large number of interstellar fighters and interstellar drone swarms.

These interstellar fighters and interstellar drone swarms continue to put pressure on the enemy's interstellar fleet, creating operational space for their own interstellar fleet.

Although these are just starfighters and star drone swarms.

However, they are equipped with weapons of the T5 and T6 level, and there are a great many of them.

Its only weakness is its limited ability to sustain combat operations; after dropping bombs, it needs to return to its mothership for resupply.

But this also means that if their Drought Demon King's fleet fails to destroy these interstellar fighters and interstellar drone swarms...

Then these guys will keep bothering you like flies.

Therefore, the Drought Demon King's fleet cannot completely ignore these interstellar fighters and interstellar drone swarms.

However, if they rely on their few aircraft carriers and starships to fight against the JF-17's interstellar fighters and interstellar drone swarms, it would be like throwing an egg against a rock.

Because the two sides are not on the same level at all.

Therefore, in order to deplete these starfighters and star drone swarms, it would be necessary to allocate a portion of star frigates and star destroyers and use their firepower to wear down these starfighters and star drone swarms.

In this way, Xiong Xiangxiang's goal can be considered achieved.

It drew some of the enemy's interstellar fleet's firepower, relieving pressure on the main battlefield.

Just then, Xiong Xiangxiang presented the grand gift she had prepared for their Drought Demon King's fleet.

"Hehehe, it's finally our turn!" Zhao Wan'er chuckled in the command channel, then gave the order to attack to the 10,000 interstellar stealth bombers that had joined the battle alongside the Imperial Guard fleet.

Because the Imperial Guard fleet had taken the initiative to attack, and had also diverted enemy firepower and attention.

This allowed these stealth interstellar bombers to close the battlefield distance, and now all the weapons they were equipped with could be thrown at the enemy's interstellar warships.

Don't underestimate the T5 Ghost Wolf King-class medium interstellar stealth bomber and the T6 Shadow Ghost-class medium interstellar stealth bomber.

The interstellar torpedoes and interstellar bombs they carry are incredibly powerful.

Just by dropping all the bombs in this round, it will be enough to give the interstellar warships of the Drought Demon King's fleet on the main battlefield a hard time.

Even the Drought Demon King could see fireballs exploding one after another within his interstellar fleet.

Meanwhile, his Drought Demon King's fleet was constantly reporting losses.

So far, it has been less than half an hour.

His Drought King Legion lost over five thousand interstellar warships, but annihilated fewer than one hundred enemy warships.

This was hardly the kind of victory that a drought-stricken king like him could accept.

However, at this point, he was not allowed to make any changes.

They can only hope that by relying on the number of their own interstellar warships and their sustainable combat capabilities, they can gradually alleviate the pressure on the battlefield.

After all, the enemy's interstellar stealth bombers also operate in a single wave of attacks; after unleashing their first wave, they need to retreat and regroup.

Therefore, on the main battlefield, there was still only the Imperial Guard fleet.

However... the Drought Demon King has not forgotten those five behemoths!

T6 Golden Scarab-class Heavy Starship Dreadnought.

While the main battle was raging, the other five battle formations were also actively engaged.

The five T6 Golden Scarab-class heavy interstellar dreadnoughts, along with the interstellar stealth bombers behind them, gradually approached.

They quickly entered the combat zone.

And this near-T7 Golden Scarab-class heavy interstellar dreadnought naturally ushered in its first battle.

Golden Scarab-class Heavy Starship Dreadnought, Second Ship, Bridge

Huo Feifei was looking at the semi-circular virtual command screen in front of her. She was using the last bit of time to confirm that all departments, every module, and every part of her interstellar warship were ready for combat.

Huo Feifei comes from the Holy Kingdom of Radiant Light. She once served in the Holy Angel Legion fleet of Saint Cana, but she is not a pure Holy Spirit, but a mixed-race person.

Originally, a mixed-race person like her would never have had a place in the Holy Kingdom of Radiance, but fortunately, she had a good talent for command and was chosen by Saint Cana to join her Holy Angel Legion fleet.

After a period of training, he served as the chief staff officer of the Holy Angels Legion fleet.

Although she is still unable to directly command troops due to her bloodline, her position as chief of staff gives her the opportunity to participate in military command and utilize her talents in this role.

As we all know, with Zhao Chen's support, Saint Cana became the Queen of the Holy Radiance Kingdom.

At this time, Saint Cana also introduced her trusted subordinate to Zhao Chen.

Saint Cana did not want her trusted subordinate to be overlooked by her.

If this happened elsewhere, it's estimated that ordinary leaders wouldn't easily use trusted former officials from other interstellar powers.

However, Zhao Chen doesn't follow such rules.

If you have talent and enough loyalty, you can join the Dragon Legion fleet.

Of course, no matter what your previous status was, once you join the Xiaolong Legion fleet, you have to follow the rules here and climb up from the bottom.

Huo Feifei, relying on her own abilities, quickly passed the military assessment of the Goddess Academy-class starship and officially joined the Xiaolong Legion fleet.

And because of his excellent performance in the assessment, he directly became the vice-captain of a T4-class starship at the time.

Later, like other commanders of the Falcon 6, he continued to accumulate military merits in battles and gradually improved himself.

Later, she also became a major general in the Xiaolong Interstellar Empire and was included in the training list.

Originally, she had a choice before.

Alternatively, one could join the newly established 10th Legion fleet of the JF-17 Thunder, serving as a legion commander and leading 50,000 interstellar warships.

Another option is to join a secret program of the Dragon Star Empire, with the opportunity to board the Dragon Star Empire's most advanced interstellar warships.

Huo Feifei chose the latter directly because she was very confident in her abilities.

She believed she had missed out on a position as a legion fleet commander, but given her abilities, she could get such an opportunity again in the future if she wanted to.

However, being able to serve as the captain of a brand-new and most powerful Xiaolong-class interstellar warship is a stroke of luck that not every Xiaolong officer has the opportunity to encounter.

Even Marshal Xiaolong and General Xiaolong probably wouldn't have this opportunity.

So she decisively chose the latter, and then disappeared from the Xiaolong Legion fleet for a period of time.

During that time, she witnessed firsthand the entire process of the Golden Scarab-class heavy interstellar dreadnought going from a skeleton to being put into service.

She had never had such an experience before.

She also received orders to prepare her own team well in advance, before the Golden Scarab-class heavy interstellar dreadnought was put into service.

The moment the Golden Scarab-class heavy interstellar dreadnought rolled off the production line, she and her crew took over.

She successfully completed the mission and later accompanied Emperor Xiaolong on a tour of the entire Xiaolong Interstellar Empire.

And now, this interstellar warship is about to engage in its first battle.

Unlike any other battlefield.

Huo Feifei felt an indescribable excitement welling up inside her.

She's a seasoned veteran, so she shouldn't have these kinds of emotions anymore.

But right now, this emotion is indeed surging in her chest.

The only explanation is that it's because of the Golden Scarab-class heavy interstellar dreadnought in front of them.

This was the interstellar warship's maiden voyage, and for Huo Feifei, this interstellar warship held a completely different meaning.

This was the interstellar warship that she had witnessed being built.

From zero to now.

This is like a mother seeing her child, who was just learning to walk, now experiencing an important stage in life.

How could she not be excited?

Therefore, she, as the captain, was very strict with everything, and she did not allow her child to make any mistakes in this first performance!

"Report, our ship will enter our anti-enemy fire range in thirty seconds," the subordinate reported.

Captain Huo Feifei looked at the interstellar war sand table in front of her and said in a deep voice, "All gun positions are on standby, including interstellar missiles."

Now open the starship warehouse gates and deploy all quasi-T7 Silver Scarab-class unmanned interstellar medium interceptors!

"yes!

"Transmit the captain's order: open the gates of the interstellar interceptor and prepare for deployment!" The subordinate began to execute the order.

At this point, if we were outside the Golden Scarab-class heavy interstellar dreadnought.

You can see the sides of this super-giant ship slowly opening, just like an insect spreading its wings.

Then, one by one, the silvery-white 'little guys' appeared.

It's called a "little guy" when compared to the Golden Scarab-class heavy interstellar dreadnought.

However, the actual size of these 'little guys' is no less than that of a T4-class starship!

These are the three thousand unmanned interstellar medium interceptors of the near-T7 Silver Scarab class, carried on the near-T7 Gold Scarab class heavy interstellar dreadnoughts!

As three thousand Silver Scarab-class unmanned and heavy interceptors poured out.

This naturally startled the opposing Drought Demon King's fleet.

The drought demon king suddenly stood up from his throne, looking in astonishment at the emerging silver creatures.

"How come this interstellar warship is carrying other interstellar warships?"

Judging from its appearance... it looks like an interceptor? The Drought Demon King guessed based on his experience.

The subordinate next to him said, "These interceptors aren't very big, about the same size as a regular T4 star destroyer, so they shouldn't pose much of a threat."

The drought demon king snorted coldly: "Foolish."

Haven't you seen what kind of beings the Xiaolong series of interstellar warships are?

Did you see any of their interstellar warships that were just junk?

Each of their aircraft carrier starships is equipped with a swarm of interstellar fighters and interstellar drones of the same class.

Would you naively think that the interstellar interceptor on such a near-T7 interstellar warship would be a low-level interstellar interceptor?

Relay my order: do not underestimate these quasi-T7 Golden Scarab-class heavy interstellar dreadnoughts.

For now, it will be classified as a near-T7 level interstellar warship.

The drought demon king was extremely cautious and careful, and dared not take any risks.

While his subordinates obediently relayed these orders, they still couldn't believe that such a near-T7 level interstellar warship could possibly carry three thousand other near-T7 level interstellar warships.

It's true that the technology of the Xiaolong series interstellar warships is very strong, but it's not that ridiculously strong, is it?

"It seems that Emperor Xiaolong came prepared."

Strengthen our flank defenses and do not neglect the battles on the flanks because of the fighting on the main battlefield.

And then there were the stealth bombers that sneaked in behind the near-T7 Golden Scarab-class heavy interstellar dreadnoughts, and the things that happened on the front lines.

"I don't want to see that happen again on the flanks, at least not so easily," the Drought Demon King warned.

"yes."

After giving some instructions...

The Drought Demon King continued to keep a close eye on this near-T7 Golden Scarab-class heavy interstellar dreadnought. He was very cautious about this interstellar warship, and at the same time, he was also very curious about it.

How many surprises can it bring her?

"Report: All of our Silver Scarab-class unmanned and heavy interceptors have been deployed."

"Please give instructions, Captain." The subordinate asked Captain Huo Feifei.

Captain Huo Feifei saw that they had entered the firing range of their own starship, but she did not rush to give the order to fire.

Because this is not yet within range of the enemy's interstellar warships to fire.

Behind this line, there is another line.

"Pass on my order: once our interstellar warships enter the enemy's interstellar warship's firing range..."

To launch the first attack before the enemy's starships can attack.

Open fire from the bow main gun, orbital heavy gun, and energy heavy gun, lock onto any enemy interstellar warships preparing to fire at us.

Suppress the enemy's interstellar ships relentlessly. I want them to be completely overwhelmed by our firepower, leaving them no chance to retaliate.

"At the same time, deploy our swarm of bronze scarab drones." Captain Huo Feifei gave the order.

"Understood." The subordinate immediately began making arrangements.

Captain Huo Feifei took a deep breath and placed her hand on the command panel in front of her.

Her name is quite unique, as it is related to rain.

It is said that because she was born on a planet where it rains all year round, her parents named her Huo Feifei.

And coincidentally, she particularly likes rainy days.

I also particularly like the phenomenon of rain.

Now, she's going to unleash a torrential downpour on the enemy opposite her.

"All departments, prepare firepower."

"Five seconds to go, prepare to fire."

"Enemy starship has been locked onto."

"The drone swarm is ready to be deployed."

The bridge of the Golden Scarab-class heavy interstellar dreadnought was filled with the voices of various departments.
