In response to Duncan's decision, the task force strike group led by Li Xin activated the subspace trap in time and intercepted a small group of fleets.
This small group of thousands of ships, faced with the Galaxy Defense Group fleet that far outnumbered them, voted with their feet and chose their own response plan.
Thousands of ships turned off their engines and subspace shields, shut down the energy supply to their weapons, and surrendered to the Galactic Defense Group.
The fleet surrendered, and the star fortress in this galaxy had no choice but to quickly give up resistance.
As long as there is no deep-seated hatred between human civilizations, it is relatively easy to persuade them to surrender after failure.
After all, this is not a battle with alien races.
Occupying this small node star field is of no great use to Li Xin, but it can also provide an opportunity to give an additional warning to the Skyforge Fortress.
In this attack, his main purpose has actually been achieved.
The task force strike group is composed of new recruits and urgently needs a war and a victory to boost the morale of the entire fleet and increase their combat experience.
The current situation is just right. Whether in Tianlu or on Li Xin's side, the task force has experienced war, and both fought well and won the war.
As soldiers gain experience and morale, the fleet's integration will be further improved.
The original recruits and surrendered soldiers can now more easily integrate into the Galaxy Defense Group.
After the battle, Li Xin returned to Tianlu with this half of the task force strike group.
The fleet rested here and replenished logistical supplies and lost soldiers.
A month later, the main fleet of the Galaxy Defense Group also successfully arrived at Fornax.
At this point, the Galaxy Defense Group has participated in the first phase of the war against Lidadas Capital, and all battle plans have been completed.
They seized the Fornax star field and cut off Duncan and Clive's attempts to retake Fornax.
On the other hand, he also won over another warlord of Lidadas Capital, Adams' fleet of 10,000 main battleships.
After the main force of the central army arrived, Li Xin disbanded the task force strike group.
Reintegrate it into various fleets.
His own Dreadnought Defense Battle Group originally had 4,500 main battleships, but after this battle, it expanded to 6,500 main battleships.
In addition to the Xingyuan fleets of various units, the other ships in the task force strike group include about 10,000 main battleships.
Li Xin broke up this part and formed five space battle groups.
They are the first to fifth task force defense battle groups.
Each task force defense strike group also consists of 2,400 main battleships.
However, these five space battle groups are still lacking some large warships.
It can only wait for the battleships currently under construction on Fornax to be completed and put into service.
These five space battle groups require a total of about four hundred battleships, but there are only one hundred produced in the early stage, so the gap is still large.
Therefore, these five space battle groups will generally follow Li Xin's Fearless Defense Battle Group in the upcoming battles and carry out combat missions together.
At this stage, the current situation is:
The Fornax star field is occupied by the Galactic Defense Corporation.
The force here consists of 6,500 ships of the Dreadnought Defense Battle Group.
The 1st to 5th Task Force Defense Battle Groups have a total strength of over 11,000 troops, which is not fully staffed.
The First to Fourth Precision Defense Strike Groups led by Ahmed have a total strength of 10,800 troops.
The First to Third Resilient Defense Battle Groups led by Weng Hua have a total strength of 8,400 ships.
The first to third Insight Defense Strike Groups led by Liu Yang have a total strength of 8,400 ships.
Then came the fifth and sixth security defense battle groups led by Li Chengjin and Li Chengxi, with a strength of 7,200.
At this point, the total number of all the ships under the command of the Galactic Defense, the Sky Forge, has reached about 53,000.
The number of warships has increased after several battles compared to when they set out from the Yuyi Star Region.
The second place is where Irving and Adams came to support.
After they were merged together, the number of ships also increased.
Adams currently controls three complete space battle groups with approximately nine thousand warships.
When General Owen united the forces, there were four space battle groups, and now it has increased to four and a half space battle groups, with a total of 13,500 warships.
The two armies combined had over 22,000 main battleships and a total of seven and a half space battle groups.
In addition, they also have a space battle group fighting in the direction of Carlisle, which is expelling Duncan, with a total of 6,000 ships.
The third place is Duncan himself.
Duncan escaped from Li Xin's attack, and only four and a half of the original five space battle groups were left. However, they received some fleets along the way, and now the number of space battle groups has been restored to five.
Duncan's alloy forces reached about 15,000 ships.
Currently, they are heading to the Xilin constellation star field, preparing to face the next battle here.
The fourth place is Claire and Moli of the Oort Cloud United Hegemony.
On Moli's side, they fought a battle with Liu Yang in Tianluo, suffering minor losses. More than a thousand ships were lost, and other losses were innumerable.
There are still more than 18,000 main battleships.
Clive's main force consists of ten space battle groups, totaling 30,000 main battleships.
Now they are also heading straight for Xilin Block.
In addition, Lidadas Capital owns a Sky-High Fortress defense line in Xilin, as well as a garrison fleet consisting of about three to four thousand small and medium-sized ships.
At present, this Sky-Bearing Fortress is under a state of full martial law, and all the fleets are on high alert to prevent Li Xin from leading the fleet to launch another surprise attack.
Li Xin, on his part, has no interest in launching a surprise attack for the time being.
After all, it is not too far from Fornax to Silin. Whether it is Duncan or Clive's fleet, it will not take too long to arrive.
Even if Li Xin took down Xilinzuo, he would not be able to defend it. It would be dangerous if he was surrounded by mistake.
On the other hand, because there are reinforcements outside Xilinzuo, the defenders here will definitely not be forced to surrender easily by Li Xin like the defenders of Tianluzuo.
If they don't surrender, the battle will take too long and be very brutal if they only rely on the assault fleet, which is not what Li Xin needs.
Now all the fleets added together are the Galactic Defense Group, and with Owen, Adams' side has the advantage.
When you have an advantage, there is no need to take such risks. Taking steady steps is also a good way to fight.
