The battle is about to begin.

Clive made pre-battle contact with the commander of the vanguard force, Morley.

Clive said, "Duncan asked me for help. I want your vanguard fleet to attack the Fornax Fortress occupied by the Galaxy Defense Corporation. What do you think?"

Moli is a veteran. Before the warp storm hit, he was already a senior general of the Oort Cloud United Hegemony, commanding an entire war zone.

Moreover, he had a close relationship with Clive, and there were many marriages between the two families.

Therefore, when Gary and some senior generals of the Oort Cloud United Hegemony chose to betray the Oort Cloud United Hegemony Board of Directors, Moli chose to stay and continue to assist Clive.

Clive recognized Morley's loyalty and ability, and now Morley is responsible for the entire defense and security of the Fourth War Zone.

Moli stroked his beard and said, "Intelligence shows that the Galaxy Defense Group still has a fleet of 12,000 ships stationed in the Sky Fortress of Fornax."

"Adding the Sky Fortress defense line, this is not an easy task."

"If possible, I would rather let Duncan chew this bone himself."

"But now it seems hopeless."

Clive said, "Yes, attacking a fortress with a mobile fleet is bound to result in huge casualties."

"But if we don't take down the Tianlu Seat, our subsequent strategic plans will be difficult to achieve."

Mo Li continued, "A strong attack is not advisable, but the location of the Tianlu Tower Fortress is too important."

"If Duncan engages another fleet from the Galactic Defense Corporation, I will lead my fleet to storm Fornax's Fortress!"

"But there's one thing I have to say in advance. Intelligence suggests that the Galaxy Defense Group's main fleet will arrive at Fornax in at most six months."

"We don't have a long window to attack. I will only fight for about three months. If the casualties are too great, or if the battle is ineffective, I will withdraw from the attack on the Sky Fortress."

After hearing this, Clive agreed and said, "It doesn't have to take that long. If you don't achieve significant results within a month, then you can withdraw!"

"If this drags on for too long, your 20,000 ships won't be able to hold the Forge's Skyfortress against the siege of the Galaxy Defense Group's main fleet."

Mo Li smiled and said, "Don't worry, I have no intention of defending the Forge of Heaven. Even if I capture the Forge of Heaven, I will destroy it directly!"

"Even if the Vanguard Fleet can capture Fornax, the losses will be substantial. Fornax's vital attributes are too great for us to control, and we can't let the Galaxy Defense Group control it either."

"As long as the Fornax Bastion is gone, our fleet will be much more maneuverable. There's no need to engage the Galactic Defense Corporation head-on in Fornax!"

After hearing this, Clive agreed greatly and said, "Moli, I trust you to do the work, so let's do as you say!"

"yes!"

…

As most of the task force strike group led by Li Xin headed towards Duncan, the atmosphere in the entire area became tense.

The vanguard fleet of the Oort Cloud United Hegemony, led by Moree, also began to advance towards the defense line of the Fornax Fornax.

The ships of both sides were maneuvering at such a close distance that they were basically unable to avoid each other's detection.

Li Xin was not worried about Moli's choice to attack. He believed that Liu Yang could defend Tianlu Seat for him well.

It took him nearly two months to lead the task force battle group to reach the galaxy where Duncan's fleet was located.

When more than 18,000 main battleships jumped out of space, shrill alarms began to sound in all the defense strongholds and fleets throughout the galaxy.

The fleet under Duncan's command began to mobilize quickly and deployed into battle formation within the galaxy, relying on the star fortress defense line.

After a day of rest, the task force strike group began to deploy into battle formation, advancing forward and slowly approaching Duncan's fleet.

For this battle, he was not in a hurry to launch the final attack.

His large warships are far fewer than Duncan's large warships.

It’s just that the Phantom-class battlecruiser has more powerful combat capability.

This time, it was not so much that he came to attack Duncan, but rather to integrate his fleet, train his troops, and delay Duncan to prevent him from escaping.

Another strategic intention is to lure the vanguard fleet of the Oort Cloud United Hegemony led by Moli to attack Fornax.

Waiting for the main force of the Galaxy Defense Group to arrive.

The task force strike group led by Li Xin this time has been divided into three parts, each with about 6,000 ships.

They were led by Li Xin himself, Yan Shuang, and Fu Hongyang respectively.

On the battlefield, Li Xin ordered Yan Shuang: "Order your troops to fight."

"Yes! Grand Marshal!"

After Yan Shuang responded, he led the 6,000 main battleships under his command and advanced to a corner of the enemy's fleet defense line and launched an attack from there.

The small and medium-sized warships of both sides were the main force in the battle at this time.

The assault force composed of destroyers attacked the enemy's defense line, lured out the weapon stations hidden in the Star Fortress defense line, and then handed them over to the Guardian-class escort ships or Phantom-class battlecruisers in the rear to attack and destroy them.

Without Li Xin deploying all his forces, Duncan did not dare to send out his entire fleet.

This is really too dangerous. What if they surround Yan Shuang's 6,000 warships and launch a fierce attack, exposing their flanks? That would be equivalent to exposing their butts to Li Xin.

Another reason is that Li Xin’s record is too dazzling.

Neither Duncan nor other officers of the space fleet had fought for a long time.

Before this, it was at most a civil war, unlike what the intelligence showed, where Li Xin had been fighting for hundreds of years and had just destroyed an alien empire.

As a result, a relatively peaceful battle scene appeared within the entire galaxy.

Every day, battles break out, and if you zoom out, it looks very intense.

Frigates, destroyers, even cruisers and light aircraft carriers are engaged in fierce battles with the enemy every day.

But if we magnify this battle and put it in the context of a battle between two huge fleets, it is nothing.

In this situation, the fleets of both sides were systematically looking for the enemy's loopholes, preparing to launch a fatal attack.

On the other side, the vanguard fleet of the Oort Cloud United Hegemony led by Moli has also jumped into the defense line of the Fornax Fornax.

The brutal battle for the Tianlu constellation is about to break out.
