The Strongest Interstellar Commander

Chapter 194: New Territory.

The construction on Planet Vellas was in full swing. Tens of millions of robots of various types and a large number of experts were working hard on making their plans into fruition.

On the orbit of the planet, dozens of small and medium-sized spaceship production lines, which were transported by Chris, had also been laid out and started production.

This batch of production lines were civilian-level, mainly used to produce Resource Collection ships.

It was impossible for the Human Federation to install Warp Engines into the ships and then transport them to Shanhai Pass.

The cost was simply too high. Instead, it was better to create production lines in Shanhai Pass and make them here.

According to the plan, among the materials delivered in the last three batches, there would even be production lines for Killer Whale-Class Battleships.

While Lin Fan wanted to die from all of the management work he had to, Chris brought the three legions and attacked the enemy. After all, the areas only had around 10,000 to 20,000 warship-local Guard Fleets. For Chris, this was good training for the 4th Legion.

As for the other two legions, they were mainly used to monitor the battle, and seldom took action.

In this operation, Chris also used the newly developed Wide-Area Communication Jamming device for the first time.

Though, this technology was useless against High-Level Civilizations.

After all, when a Civilization had mastered quantum communication, it was basically impossible to interfere.

Therefore, the exchange price of this technology in Theo Federation was only 1,000 points, which was basically equal to a free gift. There were not many Civilizations that would buy it.

However, although it was a useless technology for other Level 4 Civilizations, for Humans, this technology was of great use. Especially for Lin Zhen and Ed’s plan, where the Federation must avoid exposing their real combat power as much as possible.

Therefore, in the process of Chris’ advance, the defenders of the Orr Republic could not even send out incomplete information like Wilson did. They couldn’t send a single word at all!

It was foreseeable that when Chris captured all 38 Star Systems, the Orr Republic would still be in the dark about the situation.

Half a year later, the construction on Shanhai Pass had finally settled on the right path. The spacecraft production line had already rolled off three batches of resource collection ships; a total of 300 ships, and all of them had entered the working state. They would go to an asteroid belt in the Shanhai Pass to collect resources. It would produce at least one batch per month.

The mining robots had all been deployed to the surrounding Resource Planets for mining work.

From the speed of this progress, after about three years, the Shanhai Pass would become self-sufficient.

As for Planet Vellas, the ten locations selected by Lin Fan already had quite a few buildings. It was gradually turning into proper cities.

Of course, it would take several years before these ten giant cities were fully built.

In some places with exceptionally beautiful scenery, such as the seaside, halfway up the mountain, etc, countless villas had also been built.

Different from the residential areas in the city, these places were specially allocated to Officers. That is to say, as long as one’s rank could reach the Sub Lieutenant Rank, one could apply for one.

Ordinary soldiers would be arranged in the residential areas of the ten giant cities. Of course, depending if they were an ordinary soldier or an Officer, the housing would be provided free of charge.

In addition, on the orbit of Vellas, the Starport group was also under construction with a very high efficiency. The first batch of 1,000 Starports was expected to be completed in half a year.

Everything was proceeding in an orderly manner.

On the other end, 8,000 light-years away, the first wave of attacks launched by the Io Federation against the Sierra Empire had officially begun.

The Class 1 legion paved the way and broke through the defense line deployed by the Sierra Empire at the exit of the Star Path. As for the four Class 2 Legions, they did the follow up and soon swept the entire Star System, completely destroying the nearly 2 million warships of the Sierra Empire.

The loss incurred by the Io Federation was also minimal, and it was mainly concentrated on the Class 2 legions.

Specifically, the Class 1 legion lost 6,000 warships, while the Class 2 legion lost 80,000.

In the following six months, the other three attacking fleets also arrived in the territory of the Sierra Empire through the Star Path. They quickly destroyed the defenders of the Sierra Empire under the leadership of the Class 1 legion.

In just half a year, the Sierra Empire lost 4 important border nodes and lost a total of 6 million warships!

One must note that the main fleet of the entire Sierra Empire only had 9 million warships. So now, they had basically lost two-thirds of it all at once. It was painful.

When the news reached Imran, he was stunned for more than 10 minutes and could not recover from the shock.

Didn’t the Babawi Empire say that they would take care of the Io Federation? Why was it that not only was the Io Federation not taken care of, they were even attacking!?

More importantly, their two Royal Fleets had suddenly been paralyzed for no reason more than a year ago.

Imran was guessing whether it was done by the Babawi Empire, otherwise it made no sense.

He just didn’t understand why the Babawi Empire’s plan of ‘dealing’ with the Io Federation had become this derailed.

Looking at the star map again, Imran panicked.

Since the Sierra Empire had ceded 10 Star Systems close to the Io Federation’s side, the Io Federation was now launching an offensive attack from their new territory. With the nearest route, which was 3 passing Star Systems, the Io Federation could easily reach the Sierra Empire’s Capital Circle!

On this route, the Sierra Empire had no established force to defend it. After all, their remaining 3 million warships were scattered in various areas.

Even if they were told to rush back now, they would not be able to arrive within a decade or so. Within that time, the Io Federation would have already knocked on the Empire’s Capital Circle.

Imran calculated and left himself less than 5 years before this occurred. This was under the premise that the Io Federation was attacking through the Star Path.

In fact, Imran’s optimistic thinking wasn’t far off. After all, the Human and Io Federation were afraid that the Babawi Empire had left surveillance. Hence, they did not dare to use the Humans’ 2nd Legion and the Queen’s Guard Legion.

But now, after confirming that the Babawi Empire did not leave any surveillance, the Io Federation and Humans had decided to invest in these two legions to attack the Sierra Empire.

A month later, the combined fleet of 540,000 warships landed in the Capital Circle of the Sierra Empire. Originally, there were two Royal Fleets stationed in the Capital Circle; 240,000 Level 4 Civilization warships.

However, the two Royal Fleets were paralyzed in the fortress, completely immobile.

The Capital Circle of the Sierra Empire couldn’t resist.

A month later, the Human Federation Territory, Loulan.

After several years of expedition, the last fleet of the 3rd Legion had returned, announcing the perfect end of the Loulan Star Field Cleanup.

Humanity had added 500 light-years of worth of area and thousands of Star Systems into their territory!
