The C-22 battle ended, and the number of troops on each side changed again.
Clive's 30,000 main battleships have not moved yet and are still staying in Xilin.
There are only about 13,000 ships left in Moli's fleet, and several space battle groups are not fully staffed.
Duncan was the worst off, with only three understaffed space battle groups left, with a fleet of 6,000 ships.
Although the C-22 galaxy has been temporarily opened.
But Li Xin didn't give them any chance at all, and directly arranged for Weng Hua and Liu Yang to lead the fleet up.
The fleets he led were the 1st Tough Defense Battle Group, the 2nd and the 3rd Tough Defense Battle Group.
First, Second, and Third Insight Defense Battlegroups.
The total number of ships leaving the port reached about 17,600.
These are all veteran fleets, and their combat effectiveness is above par.
All of a sudden, the C-22 was blocked again, cutting off Xilin's external communications.
Ahmed's fleet was rapidly resting and recovering.
In the short term, Li Xin did not plan to arrange for them to continue fighting, and planned to let them stay in the Tianlu Tower Fortress later.
The Fearless Defense Strike Group led by Li Xin himself and five newly formed task force defense battle groups served as reserve forces.
Once Clive dispatched the main fleet, he would also have to lead the fleet forward to attack.
On Clive's side.
After he received the report on the battle damage, his face was so gloomy that it seemed like water could drip out.
He said to the senior staff on his left and right, "I regret that I shouldn't have come to help Duncan."
"No! We should bring more fleets to attack the Galactic Defense Group."
Clive originally gathered about 50,000 warships, and thought that it should be easy to deal with the Galactic Defense Group, plus Owen's two motley crew.
Unexpectedly, at this point in the battle, he was the one being easily defeated.
They were at a disadvantage from the very beginning of this battle, and there has been no sign of improvement until now.
Originally, before this battle, the fleets of both sides were similar in number.
However, after the C-22 battle, their number of ships was directly in a weak position.
Xilin also has a super-large space dock that can be used to build ships and has an energy center.
Replenishing ships is relatively simple, but how do we replenish elite soldiers, crew members, and psychics?
Half of Xilin Base was blocked, but relying on the other half, it could obtain a steady supply of supplies and manpower, but the speed was still a bit slow.
As for the life planets behind, seeing how badly Duncan was beaten, it is hard to say whether they will continue to provide support in the original scale, both soldiers and psychics.
After all, every psychic is an elite talent, and not everyone is willing to waste them.
Duncan is now rapidly replenishing the lost warships, but the combat effectiveness of the newly added fleet remains a mystery.
Moreover, the C-22 was blocked again, and the previous battle with such heavy losses was fought in vain.
In an office of Xilin's Sky Fortress.
Clive sat opposite Morley and asked, "What exactly is going on in this battle?"
Mo Li thought for a moment and said, "The result of this battle was due to Duncan's small mistake in commanding the fleet."
"The enemy exploited this loophole and directly penetrated and surrounded his forward fleet, which was the fuse for the fleet's loss."
Then Mo Li shook his head and said, "But the main reason for this battle is that the Galaxy Defense Group's battleship force is too powerful."
"I used to hear that the Galaxy Defense Group had fought wars for hundreds of years, but I didn't quite believe it. Now I really believe it."
Clive's face darkened. He said, "Is it really that outrageous?"
Morley submitted a detailed account of the battlefield to Clive, asking him to read it while he explained it.
"The Galaxy Defense Group's combat effectiveness is indeed very strong. Even though our army has a numerical advantage, they still suffered a higher casualty ratio."
"I'm not trying to excuse myself. Once the battle started, even my most elite forces were no match for them and were badly beaten."
Clive analyzed the details of the battle for a long time before saying, "I now believe that Galaxy Defense Group is a garrison for Blueprint Biotech."
"A rebel too!"
"They use Blueprint Biotech's genetically modified warriors' tactics, which are even stronger than Blueprint Biotech's."
"It seems we'll need to expend some resources on this in the future. Otherwise, if we go to war with Blueprint and Galaxy Defense again, we'll be completely at a disadvantage."
Mo Li asked, "Lord Clive, how should we deal with the attack from the Galaxy Defense Group?"
"Right now, our number of ships is even less than that of the Galaxy Defense Group and Owen's side."
"Even with the replenishment speed of the Xilin constellation, it is impossible to match the enemy with the Tianlu constellation."
"The enemy is blocking the C-22, and our supplies are limited. Once Owen and Adams' fleets have rested, they will surely continue their march to attack other planets under Duncan's command."
Everything Morley said was objective fact, and Clive knew it.
He covered his head and said helplessly: "I know everything you said, and now I have a headache too."
"Let's order headquarters to replenish the fleet first. We need to prepare for the worst and build a fleet of new recruits first."
"If our losses here are too great, there won't be a power gap on the mainland."
Moli nodded as he also had this plan.
Although the army can be expanded in Xilin, it is better to restore Duncan's fleet first.
Otherwise, Duncan's fleet is too small, and other outer planets will have to worry.
Moreover, Dayi is also at a disadvantage. Moli can now replenish part of the fleet, but the number is very small.
Clive said: "If we fight in the wild, our chances of winning are a bit low now."
"Is there any way to get the Galaxy Defense Group to proactively attack the Sky Fortress in Xilin?"
"Or maybe ask them to withdraw?"
Clive boldly put forward the idea and then thought about how to implement it.
But relying solely on Clive and Mori, they couldn't come up with any good solution in a short period of time.
After discussing for a while, Clive pinched his brow helplessly and said, "Forget it, let's leave the brainpower to the Supreme Staff."
"First, restore the morale of your fleet. I will not require your fleet to participate in the recent battles."
"Recover your combat effectiveness as much as possible, as there are still tough battles to fight."
"Yes, Lord Clive, I know." Mo Li nodded heavily.
