In the fleet of the Tany Empire, Emperor Zangwill showed no emotion on his face, but the atmosphere inside the flagship had dropped to its lowest point.

Everything here seemed to be frozen at any moment.

The reason is that they have just received psychic messages from other civilizations.

The coalition fleet, which was originally slowly assembling, has now officially declared its assembly plan bankrupt.

The Great Veron Authority, the Sassville Confederation, the Wilk Race, and the sole surviving entity of June have now chosen to return their fleets to the route designated by Li Xin to intercept the enemy fleet.

No one came to the Tanni Empire anymore, and no one wanted to gather troops.

No one dared to bet that Galaxy Defense would not proceed according to the preset routes.

Moreover, through the highest-level astronomical observation equipment, at the scheduled time, they did see the Galactic Defense Fleet resting on the designated marching route, waiting for the psychic jump engine to be restarted.

The distance between these fleets is not too far.

Knowing the enemy's attack route was originally good news, but now it has turned into the worst news.

Because the Galactic Defense fleet is more powerful, even if they tell the Star Freedom Alliance their current location, they will not be able to counter it.

At this point, they can only take care of their own business.

By concentrating our forces, we can defeat the main fleet of the Galaxy Defense, but how should the other branch fleets respond?

Now they each go back to deal with the branch fleets of their own line, so there is still hope of intercepting the opponent.

Although the Galaxy Defense's ships are of a higher level, these civilizations have produced more warships after two years of rapid military expansion. Although their offense is insufficient, their defense is still acceptable.

On the flagship, the Emperor of the Tanni Empire clenched his fist. After a long moment, he finally said, "Foolish!"

"If we each deal with the enemy on one line, I'm afraid we'll be defeated one by one in the end."

The emperor's words echoed in the flagship, and no one dared to respond at this time.

After a while, Prince Boswell slowly said, "Perhaps they are not foolish. On the contrary, if they go back, they will probably be defeated one by one, but they have no choice."

"They are waiting, waiting for our victory or defeat."

After hearing this, the emperor nodded slightly, with the backs of his hands clasped across his chest.

"They have many options, but we don't. For the glory of the Tany Empire, we will not retreat!"

Zhu En, the sole surviving entity, and the Wilk race were originally allies.

The Great Veronian Authority, the Saxville Confederation, is also an ally.

Originally, there were three powers in this area, including the Tanni Empire, which were sometimes allies and sometimes enemies.

When the Tany Empire was strong, the other four countries formed alliances with each other. When the Tany Empire was peaceful, there would be frictions between them.

Even if the Star Free Alliance is formed now, there is basically no hope of getting them to cooperate honestly.

Emperor Zangwill snorted coldly and said, "Since they have chosen to go back, then don't blame us!"

Then, the Emperor looked at the Starfleet Minister and asked, "How long until the enemy reaches our defense line?"

The Starfleet Minister responded, "Your Majesty, less than five months remain. According to our last observations, the enemy has nearly three thousand capital ships heading straight for our defenses!"

The Emperor's four arms unconsciously tightened as he spoke slowly, "Although the enemy's fleet is powerful, the lack of A-class psykers is definitely their biggest weakness."

"According to the intelligence, it seems that their only Grand Marshal is an A-level psyker. The other is the vassal Grand Master of the Yaru Alliance, Hood Flutterwing."

"Now that the two A-level psychics are fighting separately, this will be our opportunity!"

"I imagine that several other civilizations also hold this view, hoping to rely on powerful psykers to influence the outcome of the war!"

Zangwill looked at the prince and said, "Prince, this time we have the advantage in the number of A-level warriors. Let's try to kill the opponent's A-level psychic first!"

"Perhaps we should make this civilization, filled with a lust for aggression and warfare, understand that to conquer the universe, they need not only powerful fleets, but also powerful psykers!"

Prince Boswell nodded heavily and said, "Your Majesty, I will follow your Majesty's footsteps in this battle!"

Zangwill ordered the Starfleet Minister, "Quickly assemble the fleet. We will wait for the enemy to arrive within the defense line!"

"Order all newly built fleets and unsealed ships to assemble towards the defense line!"

The Starfleet Minister said respectfully, "Yes! Your Majesty!!"

Zangwill looked out the porthole of the flagship with satisfaction, where there were warships emitting a metallic luster.

He sighed, "We haven't had so many warships in many years. The last time we had so many warships was during the arms race with Moranok."

The Starfleet Minister said, "Yes, Your Majesty, but although the number of ships is similar then and now, there is a huge gap in quality."

The emperor nodded slightly. He came from that era. Although the Tany Empire had a large fleet at that time, its technological content was too low compared to today.

Most of them are the first and a half generation ships. Most of these ships are now sealed. Even if they are reactivated and their equipment is updated with great effort, they are no more than second generation ships.

For this battle, the emperor was too lazy to use these warships, they were just cannon fodder.

The Emperor looked out the porthole at the neatly arranged array of warships, large and small, and said softly, "This battle concerns the fate of our empire. We must win, or at least not lose too badly!"

"Prince, we must fight extra hard in this battle!"

Boswell nodded heavily, folded his arms across his chest, and said respectfully, "Your Majesty, please rest assured!"

In the vast galaxy of the Tany Empire, in every space dock, all the workers are busy building ships.

The workers can rest, but the machines do not rest, and the ship is built as quickly as possible.

One after another, frigates, destroyers, and torpedo boats were produced, like trickles of water converging into large rivers, converging towards the border defense line of the Tanni Empire.

In the space dock near the border, there are large ships that are being built in full swing.

On each industrial world planet, many civilian projects have been temporarily converted into weapons factories to produce various strategic materials such as ammunition, mechas, and armor.
