Chapter 565: Chapter 417 Kill the Chicken to Warn the Monkey_2 Chapter 565: Chapter 417 Kill the Chicken to Warn the Monkey_2 Even in society, there were quite a few who voiced their opinion, thinking that the Batarei People's home planet might have been destroyed by some kind of natural disaster or accident, their reason being that the Star Union simply does not have the power to instantaneously destroy a planet, suggesting that this might be a claim by the new Star Union regime to consolidate their reputation among the public… It had to be said that this argument found quite an audience.
This did not surprise Li Longcheng. While he had cleared most members of the Pacifist Group using strong-arm tactics after he took office, there were still some that slipped through the net.
However, he didn't need to care about these idiots at all, because soon, the truth would prove everything.
Whilst the Batarei People launched a large-scale attack, the Star Union had also made preparations for war.
For the Star Union, this was a war that had to be fought, and this battle… would ultimately determine humanity's position in the civilization of Cosmic Species!
So, in October 2151 of Star League, in the border galaxy of Boras, the war between the Star Alliance Fleet and the Batarei Fleet officially began.
The Batarei army came with great momentum this time. Not only did they mobilize their main fleet, but they also incorporated all the warships of the pirates and slavers they had once sponsored into their ranks, forming a massive fleet. The Batarei commander leading this fleet even made a bold and outrageous claim, stating that they would cut their way into the Star Alliance's interior from here, completely destroy the Star Alliance's home planet, and leave these humans with no place to bury their bodies!
However, in contrast to the fierce momentum of the Batarei army, the Star Alliance tasked with meeting them did not seem to take them seriously. Besides the Seventh Fleet, which was responsible for defending this star system, only the First Fleet and the Third Fleet joined the battle.
The Batarei Fleet totaled around three thousand, while the three fleets of the Star Alliance amounted to merely one thousand. The remaining fleets remained stationed in their original star territory, giving the impression they had no plans to fight a decisive battle against the Batarei People at all.
Indeed, within the Star Alliance Fleet, the same question was asked.
“Kislyov, what the hell are the top brass thinking? With these vessels alone, it's going to be tough to hold back the revenge forces of the Batarei People.”
Staring at the numerous points of light on the screen, the commander of the Third Fleet, General Baroque, was grave. They initially assumed the Star Alliance aimed for a monumental showdown with the Batarei People and honestly, as soldiers, they were not against the war. But in the eyes of the fleet commanders, a decisive battle with the Batarei People was utter madness. The enemy was vengeful, fiercely advancing with a vengeful disposition to die after taking a bite out of you.
Facing such opponents, losing wasn't the immediate concern. Even if they won, the cost would certainly be heavy. How would the Star Alliance face other enemies then?
There were many worries like this within the Star Alliance Army, but military orders are hard to defy…
“Please don't worry about this, General Baroque, and Lieutenant General Sly.”
Kislyov seemed remarkably calm.
“In fact, the Star Alliance has already prepared a response strategy. I assure you, when the time comes to fight, you only need to aim at the target and fire.”
“…Alright, I hope it's as simple as you say.”
While the other two commanders were equally puzzled, Kislyov was highly respected within the Star Alliance Navy with a distinguished military career. Since he said so, the others could only believe him.
At the same time, the Batarei People's fleet, like a pride of enraged lions, charged towards them.
Indeed, when the Batarei commander found out there were only a thousand warships in front of him, he felt a surge of unbounded rage.
“Damn humans, they destroyed our home planet and still underestimate us. We will destroy this fleet and let them taste the power of we, the Batarei People!”
Following the commander's order, Batarei fleet advanced like a pack of wolves. The first in line were the fleets of pirates and slavers funded by the Batarei People, followed by the Batarei's regular army – if this wasn't a cosmic battlefield but a land war, then this could be likened to a medieval army sending mercenaries and slaves as cannon fodder to deplete the enemy's living forces, then launching their attack to annihilate the enemy.
In the face of the ferocious attack from the Bataeri Fleet, the Star Union Fleet started to retreat according to Kislyov's instructions as soon as they encountered the enemy, simultaneously attacking the Batarei army to hinder them and quickly pulling back.
The Batarei People didn't really care about the Star Alliance Army's uncharacteristic behavior.
Perhaps it was a trap, but so what? If those humans wanted to play tricks, they could let them see that in front of absolute power, any clever schemes were useless!
“Is this really okay?”
At the same time, General Sly, the commander of the Seventh Fleet, was also gazing at the battlefield and murmuring to himself.
He was sure that Baroque shared his doubts. Generally speaking, the tactic of luring the enemy deeper is based on having an ingenious strategy. But at present, all the fleets were on their own, only the First and Third fleets were here. Even if this was a diversion, given the Star Union Fleet's speed, they couldn't possibly rush to the battlefield in a short period of time.
And if they dragged on for too long, the tables would turn… After all, they only had a thousand warships, and it wouldn't be possible to block the five thousand warships on the other side.
