Galaxy Domination Guide

Bai Zhongqi himself was not very clear on the level of the silver fleet's warships; these silver warships had a fairly uniform design, with the majority being the size of cruisers. There were no escort ships or destroyers, but there were a few main battle ships.

In terms of firepower, defense, and even interstellar travel capability, essentially, they were the most formidable Bai Zhongqi had ever seen in his life. The Blade Empress, which he had forged by integrating a massive amount of extraordinary technology, was merely comparable to these silver warships in terms of combat power.

When a certain number of silver warships joined the battlefield, they naturally became like harvesters on the field, continuously destroying the enemy's ships.

If earlier the Swarm fleet was in a no-win situation, even slightly at a disadvantage, then with the entrance of the silver fleet, the overall situation shifted once again in favor of Bai Zhongqi.

Su Shuang did not like the current situation at all; he had hijacked Xiao Yu and forced this encounter out of absolute confidence in victory. But in reality, Bai Zhongqi was the one in control; he could choose to fight or flee at will, leaving Su Shuang without any real answers.

Even if he didn't want to admit it, Su Shuang had already lowered the objective of this battle to depleting enough of the Swarm ships, aiming to change the overall situation for a future solution.

Chi Jia was meticulous, standing at the foremost position on the bridge, peering through the windows at the fiery enemy formation. Within this fleet, Chi Jia's status was awkward because he had opposed Bai Zhongqi's return, trying to seize power for himself. Nonetheless, the Divine Weapon had autonomously chosen him to become a Knight.

For a person like him, gratitude towards Bai Zhongqi was out of the question; Chi Jia was logical, had his own ambitions, and wasn't swayed by emotions. It was this same rationality that, even upon becoming the commander of this silver fleet, knowing that the fleet was not controlled by something like a Supreme Command, he didn't attempt to become a military warlord with absolute power.

He was different from Xiao Yu, who had eyes for nothing but the position of Chancellor and could not stand being second to anyone. But Chi Jia did not have such an obsession; if he could fare better, it was fine to be under others.

The silver fleet was the Elder Race's "private army," not controlled by the Supreme Command. Bai Zhongqi naturally had a backdoor. Essentially, the silver fleet was the protective force of the Golden Great Sail Ship, so as long as he issued a recall command through the Golden Great Sail Ship, no matter what the fleet was doing before, it would be recalled into the Golden Great Sail Ship.

Chi Jia, when facing an enemy and battle environment he had never encountered before, showed no sign of stage fright; some people are simply born for the battlefield. He arranged his troops with complete calmness, and unlike the Swarm that charged ferociously, the silver fleet adopted a firing formation akin to that of an eighteenth-century battleship battle line.

Of course, this formation was not a line formation but a planar shooting formation created by alternating combinations.

Suo Kexiao's rear guard fleet and reserve fleet had already adjusted their positions outside the city and began to fiercely open fire at the silver fleet. However, the silver fleet did not waver at all and maintained the firing formation well. The Incandescence Cannons continued to pour fire into the enemy, while other guns in range did not stop firing, reaping the rewards of the battle.

Chi Jia, according to the enemy's fire density, maneuvered the silver fleet to the front, back, left, and right; this mobility also allowed him to continuously lock onto enemy ships with low shield and defense in the enemy formation, and then the fleet's firepower would sink them.

Suo Kexiao finally furrowed his brows and said, "This enemy is tougher than we imagined."

Su Shuang said, "At this level, it must be a warship above level 30, at least our Seven Phoenix Civilization's cruisers can't reach such a degree."

Suo Kexiao nodded, "Nor can our Borke."

Listening to their conversation, Xiao Yu couldn't help but burn with jealousy, and fear made it even harder for him to contain himself, "Bai Zhongqi, even warships above level 30 you have, why do all the good things happen to you?"

Xiao Yu couldn't control his worry, because Su Shuang had already dispatched more than a thousand ships to besiege that silver fleet, but the firepower of more than a thousand ships only gently rocked the silver warships' shields, indicating that such attacks couldn't really damage the silver fleet. Yet, the silver fleet steadily destroyed one of their warships with every four to six shots from the Incandescence Cannons.

Only Bai Zhongqi knew that the silver fleet wasn't unsinkable. If from the start he had simply thrown the silver fleet into the fray, letting it face the fierce assault of tens of thousands of enemy ships, then although the silver fleet would have achieved great victories, it's possible that this force would have been left crippled.

Bai Zhongqi specially kept the silver fleet at hand, to use as a piece to turn the tide of battle, and at this moment, his goal was solely to achieve his operational objectives, not to let it serve as the main force in a frontal assault. There wouldn't be too many enemy ships attacking the silver fleet, so naturally it would not suffer any substantial damage.

When Su Shuang and the others inevitably had their attention drawn by the formidable silver fleet, Bai Zhongqi's Swarm fleet had gradually broken the situation open, breaching two consecutive defensive lines of the Council Coalition fleet, drawing not far from where Su Shuang was in the main formation.

Despite this, in order to break through, Bai Zhongqi still paid the price of as many as four thousand warships in a short amount of time.

The Council Coalition's warships above level 30, after all, should not be underestimated.

Lingering Zero suddenly laughed and said to Xu Lanzhou beside him, "I've guessed what the Chancellor plans to do, but if we want to reach the central part of the enemy's formation, why don't we just use a wormhole to get there?"

Bai Zhongqi answered, "That won't work, wormhole travel can only take place in relatively open areas of space, in such a dense region of enemy formations, wormhole use might lead to miscalculations, and we could end up anywhere. I also don't want to be teleported to some empty spot, because then the effect of the next card I play would be lessened."

Zero smiled and said, "So, initially you break through the Star Alliance Fleet with fierce attacks, then immediately implement battlefield separation once their formation splits, challenging the Council Coalition fleet and drawing their attention. Afterward, you release the powerful silver fleet from behind them to continue drawing their attention, all for the final card you're going to play? This strategy of one plot leading to another is truly astonishing. And you thought of this in such a short amount of time?"

"Actually, I've made similar battle plans before, and even if the battlefield didn't go according to this situation, I still have contingency plans. After all, with Xiao Yu personally on the battlefield it's difficult, and there are also Su Shuang's two Divine Weapons. If they're not tied down, we can't achieve a complete victory."
