After seven days, the convoy finally arrived at the defense zone.

This was originally the Vasco's defense zone, but the fleet of this civilization was severely damaged not long ago, and it has been their limit to hold out until now.

If Chen An had not come to support, the empire would have had to send troops to reinforce the defense.

"Fuyao, ask Asif, do we have support?"

It turned out that the Empire would not provide them with any support, but they could exploit local resources at will.

If you need military supplies from the empire, you can purchase them.

"Such conditions can attract countless extraterritorial civilizations, which shows that the star cores promised by the Empire are indeed very attractive."

Asif's reception fleet will leave soon, and this place will be completely handed over to Chen An.

Unfolding the star map, he divided the defense zone into seven areas.

"Iron Sickle, Blade, and the other five Space-class trains, forming seven teams."

The remaining auxiliary trains were assigned to the jurisdiction of five Yu-class trains. As for the Iron Sickle and Blade, they had their own methods and Chen And didn't need to worry too much.

His main column is free to act and will not take on any war missions for the time being.

"This is just preliminary planning. Please fill in the details and inform the train conductors."

Not long after, Chen An received a communication from Tiejian, saying that he was going to the far right.

"Are you sure you can hold on?"

"Don't worry, I won't show off if I don't have the ability."

Blade had a similar idea. He wanted to go to the far left. His ostensible purpose was to challenge himself, but in fact he didn't want to be sandwiched between Chen An's convoy so as not to affect resource collection.

Chen An respected their ideas and focused on his own defense area.

Two hours later, five convoys were deployed along the defense zone, ready for war.

"Then the question is, where is the original demon?"

Since the Vasco tribe was defeated, the original demons withdrew from the battlefield, which gave them time to fill their positions.

[Unclear at the moment. I've connected to some of the networks in other defense zones along the route. Would you like to check?]

"Is there a picture? Let me see it."

The light curtain unfolded, showing a scene of an imperial fleet fighting the enemy.

Tens of thousands of warships were lined up in a row, and dense energy cannons were fired crazily, destroying the enemies coming from the dim starry sky in batches.

The enemy is the main combat race of the original demons. The main type is silicon-based creatures covered with spikes and are extremely ferocious.

[The enemies are mainly from the Hooked Scythe tribe, with an average strength of only around the fifth level of the Fusion Star.]

At the current intensity of the war, without the assistance of warships, those who rely solely on physical combat are pure cannon fodder, and the Star Melters are no exception.

In the picture, the densely packed sickle tribe was extremely crazy and charged without any scruples. Chen An had only seen this kind of scene among the void insect tribe.

Occasionally, the Star-Swallowing Hook-Scythe Clan would break through the firepower network and crazily destroy the warships.

But this destruction will not last long, as the more powerful Bo or Lu tribes will come to stop it.

"The Bo tribe seems to be a bit aggressive."

Chen An stared at it for a long time.

When the sides of the Bo Clan's body shrink to the limit, the halo around the body will turn into a uniform crimson color.

Then it released a beam of energy, which looked ordinary, but was able to kill the Star-Swallowing Hook-Sickle Clan instantly, leaving the opponent with no ability to resist.

[This is the nature of the Bo Clan. They are like mobile turrets, extremely powerful.]

Chen An slid the screen but still couldn't find the picture he was expecting.

"What will happen to the Origin-level Bo Clan?"

[The energy intensity is difficult to estimate, and it may pose a threat to the train.]

Chen An was not worried about this, but was very interested.

"Although the train is equipped with various quantum and space weapons, they are not commonly used. The weapons that are truly commonly used are still pure energy weapons, such as the Fairy Cannon. However, the Fairy Cannon's power updates are gradually failing to keep up. If a large number of Bo Clan reinforcements are added, the train's firepower will be further enhanced."

[It's a good idea and has the potential to be realized. On the other hand, the Law Clan excels at teleportation. They can help warships and even spaceships travel long distances, which is more effective than our warp equipment.]

Chen An chuckled. "As expected, mechanical equipment is ultimately not as useful as natural creatures. For example, Constant, their improved crystal technology has helped us build better warships, and the effect is very good."

Since Constant entered the train, the warships of each fleet have been updated and the process is now coming to an end.

Most of the replaced warships are sold to passengers at low prices and will not be abandoned.

After careful study for a while, Fuyao gave an abnormal detection.

[Suspected enemy traces found]

"Good to see you. I was just wondering where you are."

[Phantom Train's Defense Zone]

Half a minute later, Chen An traveled to the Phantom Train and appeared next to Violet.

Violet was studying enemy information when she was startled.

"You always appear and disappear mysteriously, and you scare me to death."

Chen An casually took some tea from the side and took a sip. It was a specially supplied aged tea.

"What type of enemy is this?"

Violet pulled aside the curtain of light, revealing a creature with a fish head and a human body, covered in black scales.

Its average height is about 50 meters, and it leads a large number of fish-like creatures of three to five meters in height to form a huge fighting group.

Violet brushed Chen An's restless hand away and said, "It's obvious that those are the Deep Sea Tribe. Do they look familiar?"

Chen An put his hand back into her collar and said, "That's right. They're almost identical to the sturgeons. The only difference is their scales and height. If this thing is man-made, it must have been built based on the sturgeon. Fuyao, how many are there, and how long will it take for the train to meet the impact?"

[The number is currently unknown, but no less than one billion. There aren't many Deep Dives among them, and the majority are weak derivative species and various miscellaneous combat creatures.]

The so-called weakness is only relative to the train. If it were any other civilization, this army would be a disaster, destroying all living things in the starry sky wherever it passes.

[They will be within the train's range in three hours]

[With our combat power, we can wipe them out in just seven hours. The reason it took so long is that the enemy is too scattered, so we need time to search.]

This is not an exaggeration.

There is no emperor among the enemies, so Chen An can just send a few masters to destroy them all.

But it's worthless.

"The trains aren't firing, the troops aren't moving, and the passengers are being given tasks. They need something to do to avoid being bored all day."

It just so happened that the guilds had formed a new fleet, and when they learned of the mission, they rushed to accept it, fearing that there would not be enough.

Even passengers from other defense zones wanted to join in when they learned that there was a mission here, but were stopped.

Three hours later, the passengers pounced on the enemy like wolves and tigers, and it was difficult to judge who the invader was.

The entire Deep Diver Clan was shocked.

They heard that the empire had sent new troops and wanted to launch a surprise attack while the enemy was still unstable, but they didn't know that the enemy was extremely powerful.

After an initial clash, they realized the enemy was outnumbered beyond their imagination and immediately withdrew.

Unfortunately it's too late.

The enemy was very angry because too many passengers failed to grab the tickets, so how could he let them go?

At the same time, many bodies of deep divers were sent onto the train to start preliminary research.
