With the current strength of the Earth Fleet, combined with his overwhelming tactics, it is possible to win small-scale skirmishes, but to achieve a truly decisive victory, it depends on the true body!
"Quick, quick, quick! Why canât this super-speed ship go any faster?"
Inside the super-speed ship, Jia Yan was nearly overwhelmed with frustration.
Iâve already rushed here as quickly as possible. If Iâm just a bit late to the Solar System battle, and Earth is destroyed before I arrive, I will be extremely frustrated.
The Giant Mosquito body, clad in battle armor, anxiously paced back and forth in the narrow space.
"If I really canât make it in time, I must arrange for my familyâs escape. Even if my parents are unwilling, they must leave. No matter what happens, even if Earth is destroyed, my family must remain unharmed. This is my final bottom line."
In space, the super-speed ship withdrew from the deep subspace, and the outside scenery seemed faintly visible.
Outside, wars were raging. The forces of the Biochemical Empire were almost effortlessly crushing one Civilization after another inside the Orion Arm.
Even the Great Empire could only claim to have lost a bit more gracefully, but their territory was still being gradually devoured.
Itâs important to note that the Great Empire wasnât facing the opponentâs full main force, only a portion of their main fleet.
It was evident that there was a huge disparity in power between the two sides.
Inside the super-speed ship, Jia Yan, as if watching a fast-forwarded movie, observed the scenes of warfare outside the subspace, with a faint glimmer in his eyes.
"Just wait, for now, I will hold back. When the time comes, none of you will escape..."
With the super-speed ship in hand, the hundreds of light-years within the Orion Arm could be traversed rapidly by him. Then, he would let those conceited creatures of the Biochemical Empire, who thought there were no real Strong Ones in the Orion Arm, experience the terrifying reality of its true strongest fighter!
But if this time, I canât make it to Earth in time, even if I kill more enemy creatures afterward, it will be meaningless.
"Quick, quick, quick!"
...
The Earth Defense Line became renowned among the Civilizations near Earthâs civilization, and even some who were not too fond of Earthâs civilization were filled with anticipation for it.
Their main anticipation was for that strongest fighter of Earthâs civilization and also the strongest in the Orion Arm, Jia Yan.
Of course, the fleets of allied Civilizations came for this reason as well, because even now, many Civilization leaders did not fully understand the injuries Jia Yan sustained, thinking he should have fully healed by now.
But in reality, due to the constitution of his avatar, Jia Yanâs injuries had not significantly improved at all.
"Lord, the enemy has already crossed the Jupiter region. They seem to know our defense line is here, and instead of taking a detour, theyâre heading straight for Mars!"
One day, the Earth Fleet received an expected intelligence communication.
This was not surprising at all, as Earthâs network system was almost transparent to the Biochemical Empireâs forces. They could hack into the network and obtain any information they wanted.
Fortunately, Jia Yan had long since switched the fleetâs network to the Great Empireâs official network and conducted secret operations daily, so the enemy should not be aware of the Earth Fleetâs progress.
Even if they had this capability, they probably wouldnât be interested in using such means against the Earth Defense Line.
"Alright, since the enemy actively seeks battle, letâs fight them!"
Above Mars, thousands of massive battleships were almost ready for action, just waiting for Jia Yanâs orders.
"Letâs deploy."
Finally, Jia Yan gave the order.
Wars cannot be fought directly outside Mars. Although doing so would allow the defensive artillery on Marsâs surface to provide support, it would also cause the cityâs populace to suffer greatly.
Until the last moment, Jia Yan would not make such a decision.
"Lord Jia Yan, can we really defeat the enemy?"
Beside Jia Yan, Daphne had already completed her diplomat duties and stayed by his side as his secretary.
Further away was Samo Ling. Although she didnât get along with Daphne, there hadnât been any unpleasant incidents during this time.
"Iâve said it before, defeating them is entirely impossible." Jia Yan shook his head with a bitter smile. "The question now is how long we can hold. As long as we can hold for some time, all problems will not be problems..."
"Hmm? Could it be that the reinforcements Lord mentioned truly exist?!" Daphne was taken aback.
"Hehe, does it exist? Why wouldnât it exist? As long as we can hold for two weeks... No, itâs ten days now."
Jia Yanâs calm words caused Daphneâs expression to tremble slightly, as if she suddenly recalled something, her mouth agape, vaguely guessing the true identity of the âreinforcementsâ.
Then she turned to look at Samo Ling, whose expression also changed drastically at that moment.
The two women previously knew that the Jia Yan before them was not the real Jia Yan, but an avatar, or something else. Although they didnât understand the principle, they were aware that the real Jia Yan was still that terrifying âGiant Mosquitoâ.
And now that Jia Yan kept mentioning reinforcements, they suddenly guessed the true identity of those reinforcements.
"Lord, the reinforcements you mentioned, could it be..."
"Hehe, just guess, but donât say it now." Jia Yan shook his head with a smile.
Daphne and Samo Ling were both shocked at this moment. They knew that after Earth had opened diplomatic channels throughout the Orion Arm, they had conducted investigations in secret, trying to determine where the real âJia Yanâ had gone. But no matter how they investigated, they found no information.
The conclusion they reached was that the real Jia Yan had left the Orion Arm to venture into the outer starfield. Although this was too legendary to the point where they could hardly believe it, it also explained why this avatar of Jia Yan was so knowledgeable about external affairs, and why his skills far exceeded those of creatures inside the Orion Arm.
So, having left to the outer starfield and even forming such an avatar called the âStrongest in the Orion Armâ, how strong would the real âJia Yanâ be now?!
Could his arrival solve Earthâs current crisis?!
The two women had no certainty, as they couldnât imagine any strong ones existing that could face a thousand external battleships alone.
Of course, this didnât stop their anticipation. The more casually Jia Yan spoke, the more it proved how terrifying his true body was.
"We will definitely hold out for ten days, Lord. By then, your reinforcements better not disappoint me," Daphneâs eyes brightened as she smiled and alluded to Jia Yan.
Samo Ling also nodded from the back.
Everyone refrained from speaking explicitly, with everything understood without words.
The Earth Fleet, along with several fleets from external civilizations, formed the final Earth Defense Line, slowly advancing towards the direction of the approaching enemy.
The tense atmosphere before the battle quickly spread.
"Gentlemen, from my analysis, the opponentâs tactical choices have always been straightforward. Firstly, itâs a decisive blow, concentrating forces to destroy the primary defense fleet or installations in one hit. This is their favorite tactic, which can be attributed to their strong confidence, seeking a one-time solution."
"Their second tactic, only used in the later stages of the Kawai Defense Line or against stubborn opponents like Great Empires, is to eat away bit by bit. If they canât destroy the main enemy in one strike, theyâll deploy small fleets to consume the enemyâs surrounding star defense points, or even detour behind enemy lines to destroy their stronghold, then besiege the supply-short enemy army. In this way, even a tough opponent becomes soft and is eventually consumed by them."
Massive fleets of ten thousand battleships slowly navigate the interstellar space. This scale of the defense line even surpasses the former Auster Empire border defense line, though not by much.
In the center of this massive fleet, a flagship designated as the command center gathered high command from various civilizations, debating strategies against the enemy.
"So letâs discuss how to counter these two tactics of theirs!"
The top commanders from various civilizations present were not simple figures. Even if they lacked power, their combat experience was almost unrivaled, exceeding even Jia Yan, and their specialized backgrounds gave them a broader vision of war.
Under collective wisdom, an answer was soon proposed.
"The first approach depends on our defense lineâs resilience. If the opponent uses technology and artillery systems beyond ours to wipe us out in one sweep, we can counter with Lord Jia Yanâs Pi over Yu Tactics. The rear fleets from various civilizations can provide long-range artillery support, offering a certain chance to withstand. However, two crucial points exist here."
"The first point is whether Lord Jia Yan can use the Pi over Yu Tactics to directly attract and hold the enemyâs main firepower."
"The second point concerns the opponentâs strong ones. Last time when we, the Auster Empire, engaged them, they deployed a secondary-level strong one. In our current defense line, nobody has the power to confront them head-on. Even Lord Jia Yan, due to his injuries, cannot oppose him. Thus, the strong ones are a variable."
This opinion was presented by a high-ranking member of the Auster exile fleet.
But just as he finished speaking, Jia Yan shook his head to offer a supplement.
"Youâre wrong. The enemy fleet has more than one secondary-level combatant. Thereâs also a semi-permanent star existence in their fleet. You donât yet know what power level an external semi-permanent star is, do you? Iâll describe it briefly: if a secondary-level power is about the same as my pre-injured state, then that semi-permanent star existence is at least five times my power. Of course, there are stronger semi-permanent stars, but not in that fleet."
When Jia Yan finished speaking, the entire command cabin was filled with sounds of gasping.
"An external semi-permanent star level? Thatâs a whole level higher than secondary, what power could this be..."
"Itâs said that an external semi-permanent star level has the power to control the heavens and earth. This is beyond what we creatures in the Orion Arm can imagine. If he acts, can we still win!?"
"Doomed. Lord Jia Yan should have known of his existence long ago, so why didnât he say earlier? If he had told us earlier, our civilization wouldnât have come to certain death. Sigh..."
