The situation changed instantly.
Carlisle had already moved back at this time. He no longer dared to believe Adams, who had not yet made a complete alliance.
Adams' hesitation led to a series of changes.
When Owen arrived with his fleet, his fleet was delayed by the fleet left behind by Owen.
By the time Adams' fleet discovered that Owen was turning in the subspace and approaching, it was too late to evacuate.
In the galaxy, when Adams' fleet arrived, the battle strength comparison between the two sides was reversed.
On Owen's side, there are five space battle groups and more than 15,000 warships.
On Adams' side, there are three space battle groups and some scattered fleets, totaling about 10,000 ships.
When Owen's fleet arrived, Adams, who was still hesitant, let out a long sigh.
He said to his left and right: "Now, we don't need to hesitate any longer."
Owen sent a communication request to Adams. After the call was connected, Owen's holographic projection appeared inside the ship.
Owen smiled broadly and said, "Adams, let me ask you again, what do you think?"
Adams closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, the hesitation in his eyes disappeared.
He said slowly, "I am willing to form an alliance with you and the Galaxy Defense Group!"
After hearing this, Owen's smile became even more obvious. He said, "A wise choice!"
…
Adams officially joined the Galaxy Defense Group with Owen.
This news quickly spread like a storm.
After hearing the news, Duncan angrily smashed everything he could see.
"waste!"
"madness!"
"Short-sighted fellow!"
"Carlisle, you idiot!"
There were also all kinds of ugly insults coming out of Duncan's mouth, cursing Irving, Adams, and Carlisle's ancestors and descendants.
But at this time, even if the graves of Adams and Irving were dug up, the problem would not be solved.
Now the balance of power between the two sides has suddenly changed.
Carlisle's three space battle groups were no match for Adams and Irving's eight space battle groups combined.
So Carlisle could only retreat again and again.
In the middle of the journey, they were accidentally caught by the fleet commanded by Adams, and the combined fleet of Adams and Owen pounced on them.
Carlisle's fleet had no choice but to cut off its tail to survive, abandoning one space battle group, while the other two space battle groups continued to evacuate.
At this point in the battle, Carlisle was like a lost dog, the morale of the fleet was almost broken, and there was no stopping at all.
As long as they detect the fleet of the Owen and Adams coalition, they will abandon the surrounding galaxies and continue to flee backwards.
Faced with this situation, Li Xin immediately asked Adams and Owen to transfer forces to support the battle of Tianlu.
So, Owen and Adams each left behind a space battle group, and took the remaining six space battle groups, totaling about 18,000 main battleships, and headed towards Fornax.
…
Fornax star field.
The outer defense line of the Sky Fortress was almost completely cleared due to the battle with the Galactic Defense Corporation.
However, after Li Xin took over the industrial world within the Tianlu constellation, he mobilized manpower and material resources to speed up the reconstruction of the weapon stations within these defense lines and increase the defense capability of the Sky Fortress defense line as much as possible.
Nearly a year has passed, and Li Xin has not been idle during this period. After integrating the power of Tianlu, his task force strike group has rapidly expanded the number of ships, but the combat effectiveness has not increased much.
Over the past year or so, the officers under his command have been reorganizing the fleet and expanding the number of ships.
It usually takes only three to four months to build a frigate, and the construction period of a destroyer is only half a year.
The staff of the five super-large space docks in Tianlu are working around the clock to provide more ships for the task force strike group.
Li Xin even allocated a number of shipyards to build light aircraft carriers and cruisers.
Li Xin's task force strike group currently has no shortage of heavy firepower such as cruisers. His Guardian-class escort ships are sufficient to complete the cruiser's mission.
Therefore, over the past year or so, half of the large ships built are cruisers and half are light aircraft carriers.
The elite clone breeding chamber continuously produces more elite clone soldiers.
They were filled into various soldier positions, including weapons operators, carrier-based aircraft pilots, etc.
With the help of Lidadas Capital, the resources and manpower in Tianlu, Li Xin was able to expand his army very comfortably.
He doesn't need to worry about the lack of resources and manpower.
Tianlu has abundant manpower and industrial resources, and since they are not spending their own money, it is much easier to expand the army.
During this year, the task force strike group under Li Xin expanded by at least 12,000 ships.
There were even a small number of battleships that Tianlu had started building before the war, and they were directly taken over by Li Xin.
Apart from that, there is no shortage of cruisers and light aircraft carriers.
The largest number are frigates and destroyers.
As a result, the current number of ships in the Task Force Strike Group is 300 Mirage-class battlecruisers.
There are nearly fifty battleships.
Adding up all the other ships, Li Xin's task force strike group has expanded fivefold from more than 6,000 ships when it first set out to nearly 30,000 main battleships.
However, the combat effectiveness of these 30,000 ships is much worse.
When there were only 6,000 ships before, the heavy firepower far exceeded the strike capability that the organization at that time could unleash.
The number of ships has now reached 30,000, and the heavy firepower and firepower of battleships and the firepower delivery capability have actually decreased.
These 30,000 warships cannot be compared with the 30,000 main battleships with a complete organization.
Poor Duncan, he worked hard in Tianlu constellation every year to make wedding dresses for the Galaxy Defense Group.
There were a huge number of fleets, not to mention the vanguard fleet of the Oort Cloud United Hegemony, only 20,000 main battleships arrived near Fornax.
Even if Clive's main force of the central army arrived together, Li Xin would be able to firmly defend the Tianlu constellation star field with the help of the Sky Fortress.
The Oort Cloud United Hegemony's vanguard fleet of 20,000 ships did not rush to launch an attack after arriving near Fornax.
They had learned from various sources about the terrifying number of Fornax's troops, so they decided to wait for Clive's main force to arrive.
But when will Clive's main force arrive?
