While massaging Zhao Chen's shoulders, Charlotte said, "So far, we've basically completed 95% of the work."

All ten Imperial Legion fleet groups have reached full strength.

Each Imperial Legion fleet group has thirty Legion fleets, and each Legion fleet has 100,000 interstellar warships, which is roughly the configuration of thirty Legion fleets.

In addition, the number of elite fleet groups has increased by at least 50% to 100%.

The Reverse Scale Ace Fleet originally consisted of 50,000 interstellar warships, but now it has been directly upgraded to 100,000 interstellar warships.

Akame's Blizzard Ace Fleet has also increased in size from 200,000 interstellar warships to 400,000 interstellar warships.

Su Lan's Star Queen Ace Fleet has increased from 150,000 interstellar warships to 300,000 interstellar warships.

Zhao Wan'er's Shadow Hunter Ace Fleet has increased from 100,000 interstellar warships to 200,000 interstellar warships.

Snow White's Hells Angels King fleet has been upgraded from 60,000 interstellar missile ships to 100,000 interstellar missile ships, with corresponding upgrades to other interstellar escort ships and interstellar supply ships.

The total number of interstellar warships reached 300,000.

Zhong Xiaoxia's Ghost Scout Ace Legion fleet has also increased from 100,000 interstellar stealth reconnaissance ships to 300,000 ships.

The Ghost Scout Elite Fleet saw the largest increase in numbers primarily due to its outstanding performance on the battlefield during the previous Civilization Devouring Campaign.

And this oath-taking duel is taking place in a universe completely unfamiliar to us, in a battlefield with no infrastructure or intelligence gathering channels.

That creates a huge need for us to quickly establish an intelligence gathering channel.

Therefore, the expansion of the Ghost Scout Elite Fleet was specifically prioritized, increasing its fleet size from 100,000 interstellar warships to 300,000.

Zhao Chen nodded; he was aware of this part of the expansion.

"In addition, there is your Imperial Guard fleet," said Grand Marshal Charlotte as he finished speaking.

Zhao Chen interrupted, frowning slightly, and said, "Didn't I say before that my personal guard fleet is fine with its current configuration?"

There's no need to arrange too much; that would be a waste.

Grand Marshal Charlotte looked at Zhao Chen and asked helplessly, "Your Majesty, can you guarantee that you will not charge into battle during the campaign?"

Zhao Chen was speechless.

To be honest, given his personality, he really couldn't bring himself to stay in the rear if there was a need on the battlefield.

"This decision was made after discussions between our military headquarters and the secretariat."

During the sworn duel, your safety must be your top priority.

It cannot be ruled out that the enemy might employ decapitation tactics.

The Imperial Guard fleet hasn't been updated in years, and now that our Dragon Star Empire has the industrial capacity, there's no reason not to do this.

Grand Marshal Charlotte's tone left no room for refusal.

Seeing this, Zhao Chen could only sigh and said nothing more.

"Moreover, we completed the configuration of other legion fleets first, and then upgraded the Imperial Guard fleet."

"So it didn't actually have any impact," Charlotte added.

Then she continued, "The original Imperial Guard fleet consisted of three thousand interstellar warships."

After this upgrade.

We have decided to change to the new system.

The Imperial Guard fleet is divided into two parts. One part consists of three thousand interstellar warships, which are the ones that will always be with you.

The other part consists of nine interstellar legion fleets. These nine interstellar legion fleets belong to the Imperial Guard Fleet, but during non-combat periods they will be stationed in the Dragon Star System and serve as escorts.

In times of war, however, the duty of protecting the emperor would be reinstated.

In this way, the Imperial Guard fleet would have ten legions and 30,000 interstellar warships.

These 30,000 interstellar warships, as previously required, were all T6 and T5 level interstellar warships.

However, the Imperial Guard fleet itself was of slightly higher quality, consisting of three hundred T6-class starships and the remaining T5-class starships out of its three thousand ships.

The number of interstellar warships was increased from three thousand to thirty thousand, and the quality of the original Imperial Guard fleet configuration was also improved, which greatly enhanced the combat power of Zhao Chen's Xiaolong Imperial Guard fleet.

Zhao Chen nodded: "Then let's do it the way you said."

Grand Marshal Charlotte continued, "In addition, the interstellar warships produced in the remaining months will form a reserve fleet to supplement the fleets of various legions that need interstellar warships during the battle."

"Ensure the combat effectiveness of our various fleet groups is guaranteed."

"Based on this calculation, the number of our Xiaolong Interstellar Empire's first-line interstellar warships has directly increased to 32 million interstellar warships." Zhao Chen calculated with his fingers and arrived at this astonishing figure.

Grand Marshal Charlotte nodded and added, "To be more precise..."

Of these more than 30 million interstellar warships, we currently have more than 50,000 T6-class interstellar warships in active service.

There are ten million T5-class starships and approximately twenty million T4-class starships.

Fifty thousand T6-class interstellar warships.

When Zhao Chen heard this number, his heart trembled. This was the source of their confidence that allowed the Dragonfly Interstellar Empire to challenge the Devouring Civilization.

The number of these 50,000 T6-class interstellar warships is so large that it could be said that all the T6-class interstellar warships in their universe cluster combined do not equal the number of T6-class interstellar warships currently in the efficient interstellar empire.

"What about our near-T7 level interstellar warships?" Zhao Chen asked, inquiring about a more important piece of data.

The decisive battle against the devouring civilization mainly involves three elements.

Fleet size, number of elite starships, and number of super starships, which are essentially T7-level interstellar warships.

These three elements are the keys to victory!

Grand Marshal Charlotte brought up two data panels, which also included two holographic images.

Those are naturally the only two near-T7 level interstellar warships currently in service with the Xiaolong Interstellar Empire.

A near-T7 Golden Scarab-class heavy interstellar dreadnought!

A near-T7 Gold Saint Angel-class light interstellar cruiser!

"Currently, we have one hundred T7 Gold Scarab-class heavy interstellar dreadnoughts in service."

"The number of near-T7 Gold Saint Angel-class light interstellar cruisers is three thousand," Grand Marshal Charlotte replied.

Hearing this number, Zhao Chen felt much more at ease.

The number of these two near-T7 class interstellar warships differs greatly, mainly because although they are both near-T7 class interstellar warships, their combat capabilities are vastly different.

Furthermore, there is a significant gap in the resources required for production.

The former costs as much as 20 quadrillion Star Coins per ship, while the latter only costs 100 trillion Star Coins.

This naturally leads to the large number of near-T7 Gold Saint Angel-class light star cruisers.

"In addition, regarding the arrangements for these two near-T7 class interstellar warships."

First, we have equipped each legion fleet group with at least six near-T7 Golden Scarab-class heavy interstellar dreadnoughts, mainly assigned to the flagship legion of each legion fleet group, that is, the legion commanded by the legion commander and deputy commander.

The remaining ten near-T7 Golden Scarab-class heavy interstellar dreadnoughts were incorporated into the ace fleet.

The remaining thirty near-T7 Golden Scarab-class heavy interstellar dreadnoughts were transformed into the Golden Scarab Squadron, directly commanded by the Imperial Military Headquarters, for use in special operations.

Three thousand near-T7 Golden Scarab-class heavy interstellar dreadnoughts were assigned to each legion, and three hundred were assigned to Akame's Blizzard Ace Fleet.

The remaining approximately two thousand near-T7 Gold Angel-class light interstellar cruisers formed the Gold Angel Special Forces, specifically tasked with special combat missions.

Grand Marshal Charlotte finished explaining the deployment tasks for all the interstellar warships.

Zhao Chen has gained a new understanding of the current military strength of the Xiaolong Interstellar Empire.

"In addition, we have also prepared one hundred T6-level supernova ultimate bombs," said Grand Marshal Charlotte.

The Supernova Ultimate Bomb is a trump card for the Dragon Star Empire.

However, it has always been restricted because it would indiscriminately destroy a galaxy.

With the goal of eradicating all life in a galaxy, Zhao Chen had always been reluctant to use this weapon.

The most recent large-scale use of this technology was in two battles against the Devouring Civilization.

Nearly thirty were used in succession.

It destroyed more than thirty star systems that had devoured civilizations.

In truth, Zhao Chen felt a pang of heartache, because he knew that once he possessed the resources of those universes and star systems that he had devoured, those resources would all belong to him.

If we destroy it now, wouldn't that be the same as destroying Zhao Chen's things?

How can I not feel heartbroken?

This time, the battleground is in a shattered universe, which is essentially a wasteland. Using this type of weapon, there's naturally no need to consider too much.

Therefore, Zhao Chen secretly gave the order that all supernova ultimate bombs be unlocked whenever the battle required them during the shattered universe.

Prior to this, only Zhao Chen and Charlotte had access to the key.

This time, each Imperial Marshal has access to the key to three Supernova Ultimate Bombs!

"It seems we're really ready." Zhao Chen patted Charlotte's hand. With them around, he really didn't have to worry about these things as much.

Zhao Chen then asked, "So, in this battle, it was already decided to adopt a rapid attack tactic, with all fronts advancing together."

So how should we plan to start?

After all, the battlefield for this battle is in the shattered universe. Before this, neither side is allowed to make any deployments in the shattered universe, not even for reconnaissance.

This first move is also crucial.

Grand Marshal Charlotte opened another military document, which detailed how to start this battle.

"First, we have already built thirty cosmic stargates, as well as the corresponding assembly parts."

There are also twenty unused cosmic stargates.

At the moment the battle begins, we will first use 'White Jade' to send the first vanguard fleet to the shattered universe to establish a base within a certain range.

Among this advance legion fleet was a reconnaissance legion fleet of the Ghost Scout Elite Legion Fleet Group. At the start of the battle, they were responsible for gathering intelligence, locking down the enemy's coordinates, and making a series of battlefield preparations for the battle.

Within three hours of the arrival of the first advance fleet, we will dispatch the first engineering fleet, carrying the components needed to build the stargate, to the battlefield.

For this series of cosmic stargates, we have developed a design that can be constructed in a short time, with a construction time of no more than fifteen days and a minimum completion time of seven days.

The only drawback is that it cannot be used for a long time; its lifespan is less than one year.

However, considering we only had six months to prepare for the operation, this was more than enough to meet our needs.

Zhao Chen nodded. The attack plan he had formulated earlier was prepared for six months.

Therefore, this type of cosmic stargate is sufficient for one year of use.

A normal stargate cannot be completed in just one week to two weeks.

"These stargates are not actually our only means of transportation."

Our transportation methods are mainly divided into two categories: one is this kind of stargate, and the other is 'white jade'. Although white jade can create a cosmic stargate in a short time, its drawbacks are the number of deliveries, the duration of maintenance, and the cost-effectiveness.

If it's a short, lightning-fast attack like before, then white jade is enough.

But this time we are waging a large-scale battle to completely annihilate the enemy.

That would require an efficient and complete logistics supply line, which would require regular space gates to provide a continuous supply of resources.

This is the synergy between these two modes of transportation.

And while we were fighting in a shattered universe.

With our equipped interstellar warp ships, we can play another role on the battlefield, both for combat and for resupply preparation.

Grand Marshal Charlotte paused for a moment and continued, "So our first step is to plan to establish thirty forward military bases within half a month, and these thirty forward military bases will be divided into groups of three."

Each three military bases supply one Imperial Legion fleet, thus meeting the combat needs of ten Imperial Legion fleets.

Within these two weeks, our Ghost Scout Elite Fleet will gather intelligence on the entire shattered universe, establish a network of outposts, monitor enemy fleets, and make all necessary preparations for the subsequent attack.

Therefore, we anticipate that no large-scale battles will break out in the first two weeks.

We will not launch our fiercest attack until half a month after the start of the battle!

Let's begin our actual operational plan.

After listening to Charlotte's series of plans, Zhao Chen nodded and said, "Okay, the arrangements are very comprehensive."

If you need anything from me, just let me know.

Hearing the teasing in Zhao Chen's words, Grand Marshal Charlotte rolled his eyes at Zhao Chen: "I wouldn't dare."

Who would dare to order you around?

"Just don't cause us any trouble then, and don't go anywhere dangerous."

Zhao Chen didn't reply, but just chuckled, because this was something he really couldn't agree to.
