Chapter 212: Ambush, Yan Xia's Bold Heart

Several decades were enough to repair the giant ship, which had sustained some damage during the previous super-hedging transfer.

After the last transmission event, Yan Xia ordered the expansion of the caliber of all super-hedging matter transfer devices on the Federal border over the course of these 1800 years. Only then could the giant ship be perfectly transferred.

This time, not only did the fleet led by Yan Xia arrive at the battlefield, but the fleet led by Loulian also returned.

They were going to engage the Si Civilization with an absolute advantage.

"With support from other dimensions, the Si Civilization can no longer retreat. They also want to hold us back to gain an advantage on other fronts."

"This will make things easier for us."

Yan Xia began to devise a strategy.

From the perspective of the entire battlefield, the fact that their side, as the defenders, had more battleship units was undoubtedly an advantage. However, if the Si Civilization's fleet was compared to a cavalry unit, that advantage would be greatly reduced.

There were many historical examples of a small number of cavalry units conquering cities.

The advantage of mobility, whether on the ground or in space, had a tremendous impact on the battle.

So, what Yan Xia was thinking about now was, if he was a city, how could he eliminate the invading cavalry?

Leaving the city was not an option, as they didn't have the same mobility.

If they stayed to defend, they would be surrounded.

This was a thousand-year-old conundrum. Yan Xia believed that the first thing they needed was an ambush.

"If the Si Civilization has an absolute advantage, they might become arrogant. Although the possibility is low, we only need a 1% relaxation, and we can use that 1% to do something."

"In the vast expanse of deep space, who would think there's a fleet here?"

"The Wall technology has become stronger over time and can even disguise gravity. This is our chance."

Yan Xia decided to set up an ambush.

The activation and turning of battleships were not immediate, even though they often appeared so, due to the vastness of space, which blurred the concept of time.

In fact, it took the Federal giant ship as long as 10 seconds to activate its weapon systems.

It was that astonishing.

So, Yan Xia had a bold idea.

The moment this idea came to him, he himself felt a shiver.

"How about we position the battleship here, Ella!"

Ella's virtual projection appeared in exquisite Gothic attire, making her face look somewhat pale, like a medieval Western noble.

This outfit, combined with her temperament, made her resemble a young vampire.

The original Ella was attached to the Kunlun, and the current Ella was an attachment of an attachment.

"Here?"

"Forgive my frankness, Yan Xia, but if we position the battleship here, the chance of it being discovered and destroyed is as high as 87%."

It was too close.

This position couldn't even be described as close.

Because it was right in the path of the Si Civilization's fleet.

"Let's calculate. There's a planet here with a diameter of about 100 kilometers."

"The Si Civilization's fleet won't crash into it. They'll avoid this planet. Let's calculate the distance they'll keep, and we can hide our battleships within that range."

If a planet with a diameter of 100 kilometers was to be avoided, a width of at least 10,000 kilometers would be needed. A planet of this size already had a certain gravitational pull, which would affect the battleship itself.

According to Ella's calculations, it could actually accommodate all the Federal battleships.

"That's good. Let all the battleships wait there."

Yan Xia's decision was indeed astonishing, and even Ella was taken aback.

However, seeing Yan Xia's determined gaze, she knew she couldn't change his mind. Moreover, this plan wasn't entirely without merit, and hiding all the battleships there would also avoid the risk of the fleet being directly destroyed upon encountering the enemy.

The attachment of Ella's attachment sent a message to Ella's attachment.

Although there was no fast particle transmission, the distance between them was only about 5 light-years, so a regular message transmission would take 5 years.

Five years later, Ella's attachment, following Yan Xia's orders, activated The Wall, and all the battleships went into hiding, approaching the target planet.

The two warring parties would make contact in approximately 29 years.

It would take them about 12 years to reach the planet, which was about 1.5 light-years away.

The Si Civilization's battleships wouldn't stop at this position unless they had an absolute advantage. Typically, battles wouldn't cross such a long distance of 1 light-year, and even 0.5 light-years was rare.

Then, they waited for 17 years.

At this time, the Si Civilization's battleships were still 2.4 light-years away, and their speed exceeded 42,000 km/s.

Ten years later.

The Federation clearly sensed the deceleration of the Si Civilization's battleships. They didn't know if the Si Civilization had discovered them or not.

If they had been discovered, the Si Civilization would probably be preparing for a battle to annihilate them.

Even with seven years to go, all the soldiers and officers on the battleship held their breath. Everyone was so nervous that they didn't dare to enter the virtual world, and even the most basic desires of life were completely absent.

Immense pressure weighed down on every living being.

Especially now, since the highest-ranking officers of both fleets were not present in their respective fleets due to the inability to transfer via super-hedging transmission.

The actual controller of the fleet was Ella's attachment.

She showed no expression as she counted down the distance and time.

Seven years later.

The Si Civilization's battleships were within reach.

All the soldiers and officers even breathed lightly. All the Federal battleships, except for maintaining The Wall, were actually in a shutdown state to minimize the release of any radioactive substances.

One month later.

The first Si Civilization battleship flew past the planet.

Soon after, more Si Civilization battleships flew by.

At this moment, Ella gave the order, "Everyone, prepare!"

She also ignited all the battleships. After ignition, the weapons, which had been in a pre-charged state, instantly fired terrifying energy.

"Boom!!!

Sound couldn't travel in space, so all the Federal soldiers and officers couldn't hear the sound of the battleships being destroyed, but they knew the Si Civilization's people could hear it.

The explosion of the battleship created a brief flame due to the combustion of gases inside the spaceship.

This was the first shot of this war, declaring the success of this ambush.

More artillery fire fell on other Si Civilization battleships.

Suddenly, a massive fleet appeared in the center, causing the entire Si Civilization fleet to disintegrate instantly. They fled at high speed, but even if they had a speed of 50,000 or 100,000 kilometers per second, it wouldn't be fast enough.

This was a great victory.

A result of Yan Xia's bold heart.
