They knew in advance when the Devouring Civilization was about to launch its invasion.

The Dragon Empire naturally began more preparations.

All six Imperial Fleet Groups and five Elite Fleet Groups of the Xiaolong Empire are ready for battle.

"Currently, our main fleet has approximately 3.5 million interstellar warships."

In addition, we actually have some extra interstellar warships during this period.

The original plan was that if the war had been delayed by a few months, we might have been able to form the seventh Imperial Legion fleet.

However, given the current situation, it is not appropriate.

However, these surplus interstellar warships can be used as reserves until war breaks out and interstellar legion fleets on the front lines suffer crew losses.

"These reserve interstellar warships can be used to fill the gap." Charlotte analyzed as she looked at Zhao Chen.

Zhao Chen nodded, looking at the interstellar sandbox in front of him.

There are several bright spots of different sizes on it.

"Our military has completed the combat deployment, distributing the legion's fleet to these strategic locations."

Because we don't know where the invading fleet that devours civilizations will enter from.

Therefore, all we can do right now is prepare in advance.

These locations are essentially the navigation hubs for our Dragon Empire in all directions, allowing us to reach various destinations in the shortest possible time.

It is mainly divided into five strategic regions.

These five strategic regions also have five local battlefield command posts.

The names of the battlefields were determined by these five local battlefield command posts.

These are the battlefields of Chang'an, Luoyang in the north, Yanjing in the south, Kaifeng in the east, and Jinling in the west.

"They are based on our five main interstellar cities," Charlotte explained, pointing to the five brightest points on the star map.

Lilith, who was standing nearby, also said, "We have already arranged the strategic resources that need to be mobilized in these five interstellar cities in advance, as supply points for the rear of the battlefield."

In the event of battle in any of the five battlefield zones, necessary supplies can be provided to the interstellar legion fleets engaged in combat from the nearest supply point.

Zhao Chen nodded and then said, "I've already explained it before."

We need to prepare some conventional strategic weapon ammunition supplies that can be used by both our JF-17 and Elves interstellar warships.

We need to prepare at least a month's worth of supplies. Is that arrangement satisfactory?

Lilith said, "What we've produced so far can only meet the needs of regular combat for about twenty days."

However, judging from the current situation, maintaining this for a month should not be a problem.

Charlotte chimed in, "And the prerequisite for all of this to go smoothly is that the cosmic stargate we're building with them can be completed on time."

If this step goes wrong, it will have a huge impact on our plan!

Zhao Chen looked at Charlotte. Since Charlotte brought this up, she must have been prepared for it.

"The military headquarters had already formulated different operational plans for strategic locations in various regions long ago."

This includes the Cosmic Stargate, which is on the list of top-level strategic locations.

The area around the cosmic star gate is very close to Luoyang City.

The garrison in Luoyang is Xue Xiaoxiao's Fourth Fleet of the Xiaolong Army; I've already told her that.

"If the anticipated situation occurs, immediately dispatch its subordinate legion fleet to protect the cosmic stargate while ensuring its timely completion," Charlotte said.

Zhao Chen frowned: "If this situation occurs, Xue Xiaoxiao's Fourth Fleet Group of the Falcon 1 will not be able to complete this mission on its own."

That's quite difficult.

"It's quite difficult, but it must be completed."

"If this cosmic stargate is not completed on time, then the difficulty of our battle against the devouring civilization will directly reach the hell level!" Charlotte said seriously.

Zhao Chen sighed. He knew this was the situation. He was silent for a moment, then said, "Go with your plan."

But remember one thing: don't put all your hopes on others.

Be prepared for anything that might happen!

Zhao Chen's words were undoubtedly a reminder to Charlotte and the others not to have 100% hope in the Holy Elf Empire.

In times like these, there are no allies who are 100% loyal.

...

Time passed little by little.

Everything seemed normal among the common people of the entire Xiaolong Empire, but those who had access to the higher-ups could feel a heavy atmosphere spreading through the air.

All stargates and starports have entered a state of semi-military control, and all high-ranking officials of interstellar trade groups within the Empire have been informed to be ready to accept Imperial military control at any time.

Furthermore, all military industrial enterprises under the Dragon Empire postponed all orders, and the goods produced around the clock were being shipped to the five major interstellar cities.

The Supreme Military Command of the Dragon Empire maintains a system where at least three of the eleven marshals are always in office.

Furthermore, the military headquarters of the Dragon Empire issued an order that any fleet, any starship, under any circumstances, should receive the order.

Every military combatant must return to their combat post within half an hour.

At this moment, the giant that is the Dragon Empire has already assumed a fighting stance, ready to face any enemy that may attack from the darkness at any time.

Dragon Empire Cosmic Space Dynamics Monitoring Department

Throughout the department, everyone was watching every fluctuation in the values ​​displayed on the various instruments.

The slightest abnormality would raise them to a state of extreme vigilance.

One of the staff members noticed a slight fluctuation in a line of numbers.

Although it was very subtle, she still noticed it.

However, such subtle fluctuations can occur even under normal cosmic fluctuations, similar to the occasional giant waves that appear in the ocean.

But she still paid a little attention.

Sudden!

She discovered that the fluctuating value had increased twentyfold in a short period of time compared to the previous value!

Although it only fluctuated for a moment, not even a second.

But she still immediately pressed the alarm button next to her.

A red circle appeared above her workstation.

"A yellow-level abnormal fluctuation has occurred in area XY771!" the staff member reported loudly.

The department head immediately came over, went to the staff member's workstation, and looked at the abnormal fluctuations marked on the screen.

"Although this abnormal fluctuation was only momentary, according to our previous records, it is very difficult for cosmic fluctuations to reach this level," the staff member reported.

"I see.

"You continue to monitor this." Without hesitation, the department head immediately reported the information to the Imperial Secretariat.

Although she couldn't be sure whether the fluctuation meant there was an intruder, reporting it to her superiors was her job.

The secretariat quickly responded.

Continue to observe.

The department head stood in that position, watching the screen on the instrument in front of the staff member.

A minute passed.

The abnormal fluctuations did not reappear.

Two minutes passed.

Everything is normal.

Three minutes passed.

There were no abnormal fluctuations like before, not even significant numerical fluctuations.

Five minutes passed.

Just as the department head was temporarily relieved and preparing to leave.

Sudden!

The staff exclaimed, "Report: A yellow-level abnormal fluctuation has reappeared in area XY771, and its intensity is fifty times greater than the previous abnormal fluctuation."

The duration also reached 1.3 seconds!

Without hesitation, the department head immediately reported the news again.

At the same time, staff in other positions were reminded to pay attention to this type of abnormal fluctuation.

Five more minutes passed.

This time, it was observers in another area who discovered similar unusual fluctuations.

The department head still reported the situation according to procedure.

Then, in the next half hour...

At least thirteen instances of abnormal fluctuations at the yellow level were observed.

The department head contacted the secretariat again, even stating bluntly that this was definitely not a coincidence and requesting that higher-ups take it seriously!

This situation occurred more than ten times after that.

Finally, half an hour after the first abnormal fluctuation occurred.

Meanwhile, multiple staff members reported abnormal fluctuations, and this time the abnormal fluctuations were continuous.

Furthermore, these abnormal fluctuations are concentrated in three regions!

"Report: It has been confirmed that an enemy has invaded the Dragon Empire universe, and from three coordinate locations."

These are regions XY771, XM981, and XQ003 respectively!

"receive.

"Thanks to your meticulous work, we dispatched military forces half an hour ago," the secretary from the secretariat added.

The department head was startled.

Military forces were dispatched half an hour ago!

This shows that their superiors highly recognize their work and trust the information they report.

This alone is a recognition of their hard work here!

The department head felt relieved and then focused his attention on the three areas.

The spatial fluctuations in those three areas have already exceeded the red line.

She knew that another war was about to break out in the Dragon Empire!

...

It is located in a galaxy adjacent to the Luoyang galaxy.

This galaxy is now in a state of war, and all personnel who can evacuate should do so immediately.

Those who cannot evacuate in a short time should all enter the refuge inside the planet.

Meanwhile, tens of thousands of interstellar warships are passing through the T5 Voyager-class medium stargate into this system.

In addition, countless'stars' can be seen in the outer reaches of the galaxy, which are the engine halos of interstellar warships that have come to provide support from nearby.

Because this place is very close to the Luoyang star system, it was able to respond immediately.

The Luoyang system is one of the main core systems of the Xiaolong Empire. It was not originally called that, but was renamed after the interstellar city of Luoyang built within the system.

It is now known as one of the five major star systems of the Dragon Empire.

In this galaxy adjacent to the Luoyang galaxy, traces of 'rottenness' can be seen appearing in this space at this moment.

It was as if the sky were a sheet with traces of black decay seeping through it.

It gives people a creepy feeling.

There are hundreds of these scattered black spots of decay.

Behind these black, rotting spots, one could clearly see another universe on the other side, and countless menacing interstellar warships standing ready for battle!

Luoyang City

The Fourth Fleet Group of the JF-17 Thunder - Super Flagship Fleet

"Report! An invading fleet of a devouring civilization has been detected in the Luoyang 02 star system!"

"The enemy's interstellar warships have begun to perform space jumps."

An unusual electromagnetic fluctuation has been detected near the target space warp point. Our interstellar warships will experience some performance anomalies upon approaching!

"Report: The enemy fleet has now deployed 100,000 interstellar warships into our Luoyang 02 star system!"

The messages were reported to Xue Xiaoxiao, the supreme commander of the Fourth Fleet Group of the JF-17 Thunder.

"I never expected that I would actually make it in time."

"These guys really know how to pick a spot!" Xue Xiaoxiao put her hands on her hips, looked at the star map in front of her, and quickly and skillfully issued a series of commands.

One after another, the JF-17 Dragon Legion fleets were transferred to the Luoyang 02 star system.

However, at the same time, a portion of the Xiaolong Legion fleet is still maintained in the Luoyang 08 system.

Because the Luoyang 08 star system is the location responsible for building the cosmic stargate connecting the Holy Elf Empire!

Although the two star systems are not connected, if the enemy loses control, it will be like a dam bursting, threatening the cosmic gate under construction in a very short time.

At the same time, in order to prevent the enemy from appearing in other places, Xue Xiaoxiao naturally could not transfer all the military forces of her Xiaolong Fourth Legion fleet to Luoyang 02 star system.

"At the same time, immediately establish a logistics supply network for Luoyang City and Luoyang 02 star system."

Ensure that combat supplies can be replenished to the battlefield as quickly as possible!

After Xue Xiaoxiao finished explaining these things.

She looked at a command window to the side, opposite which was a legion.

"Zhong Xiaxia, I'm leaving you ten legions of fleets and thirty thousand interstellar warships."

They remained in Luoyang.

No matter what happens, ensure the safe operation of Luoyang!

The logistical support is also entrusted to you.

I will immediately depart for the Luoyang 02 star system to take command of the battle there!

As the deputy commander of the Fourth Fleet Group of the JF-17 Thunder, Zhong Xiaoxia was naturally qualified to take on this important task.

"Please rest assured, Marshal."

"I guarantee the task will be completed."

Xue Xiaoxiao nodded, and then immediately prepared to set off to support the Luoyang 02 star system.

During this time, she was also looking at the interstellar sandbox.

The number of invading legion fleets is increasing.

In addition, the abnormal electromagnetic reaction in the enemy's space warp zone means that even if there is a pre-deployed interstellar fleet, it can only carry out localized firepower attacks from a distance, and cannot achieve the best combat effect.

This must be a self-protective measure by the enemy.

To protect our own forces during this long-range troop deployment, so that they are not overwhelmed and attacked.

In this case, the only option is to build a front line outside the area of ​​interference.

We'll have a real fight with the enemy.
