Chapter 1117 - 48 Divide the Troops [Second Update]
Chapter 1117: Chapter 48 Divide the Troops [Second Update]In space, over a thousand battleships glimmered with beams of attacking lights.
The opposing fleet of more than two hundred battleships seemed unprepared and their maneuvers and personnel were conspicuously disorganized. Given the vast disparity in numbers and command, they lacked any viable resistance.
"Lord, the enemy has sent a communication of surrender!"
"Good! We accept the surrender and at the same time, tally our losses."
Upon acquiring the Giant Mosquito Fleet from the fugitive soldiers of Dragon Bell Star Tia Country, their combat power had significantly increased. This battle did not even need to employ Kama’s Overwhelming Yu Tactics and yet, they emerged cleanly victorious. Jia Yan, inside a camp-level spaceship, even pulled out the video of the battle and watched in amazement.
The entire fleet had, in this battle, adopted more rational tactics and layout than before, which evidently showed how Findley’s arrival had greatly assisted Kama.
And while battling those two hundred plus battleships, the fleet had not suffered too much damage. The final data reported to Jia Yan showed only five battleships had different extents of damage and none were beyond use.
The victory came without any damage on their part, marking a significant triumph.
The reaction from Tia Country was as expected; they accused the Giant Mosquito Fleet of inhumanity in the media, attacking their fleet merely minutes after declaring war, specifically targeting ships that were not yet commissioned into service, which was utterly shameful.
However, their attitude did not dampen the celebration among the Giant Mosquito Fleet. This was their first engagement with Tia Country. Although it bore suspicions of ambush and taking advantage of others’ vulnerabilities, many of the original fugitive soldiers from Tia stated that the Tian Wu clan had originally conquered Tia Country in the same manner. They reasoned it as just treating their adversaries with their own methods.
There must be considerable animosity between the two sides.
Jia Yan did not participate in the celebration as he felt there was nothing worthy of celebration in this particular fight, considering it wasn’t a real battle.
Fortunately, the outcome of the battle was extremely fruitful. Out of the two hundred newly captured battleships, more than seventy fell into the hands of the Giant Mosquito Fleet. Among the damaged battleships, over fifty could be repaired and reused, though their performance was no longer guaranteed.
"Lord Jia Yan, I suggest that while Tia Country has not yet reacted internally, we should preemptively seize some strategic locations."
Jia Yan thought that Kama and the other woman would spend a longer period in celebration. Unexpectedly, just two hours after their victory, they came together to Jia Yan.
"Strategic locations?" Jia Yan looked at them, somewhat surprised.
"Yes, Kama and I have discussed this. Our disadvantage is logistical and repair issues, which was not a problem that could be fixed momentarily. However, there is an easy solution, which is to quickly occupy one or two important enemy strongholds. Those places will definitely have abundant resources, and given that the people of Tia Country are inclined towards Kama, seizing some of those strategic locations from original Tia Country could swiftly solve our problems."
Findley pulled out her smart brain and pointed at the territorial map of Tia Country.
Jia Yan considered it and found it to be a good idea. For the Giant Mosquito Fleet, obtaining supplies from the outside was not an easy task, and their international reputation was somewhat tarnished. The cost of acquiring certain resources would undoubtedly be very high!
If they could capture some important resource locations of Tia Country, it would greatly alleviate the situation.
"However, isn’t Tia Country just a small nation with one planet?" Jia Yan asked, puzzled.
"Uh... Lord, it seems your understanding of Tia Country is really somewhat lacking," Kama and Findley exchanged glances, only then realizing how little Jia Yan regarded their homeland, not even bothering with basic intelligence.
Through her explanations, Jia Yan was somewhat astonished to learn that his understanding of this so-called small nation was indeed limited.
It turned out that the one planet territory of Tia Country was only marked as such on the international boundaries in the Northern Star Domain. In fact, the nation possessed three planets, but aside from the main Taya Star, the other two were just around the ’planet’ standard line set by the Northern Star Domain Alliance, and thereafter, they were classified as secondary planets. Nevertheless, they played roles almost equivalent to that of planets, enlarging the territorial domain of Tia Country significantly, spanning nearly half a light-year.
Within this half light-year, there were even more large interstellar materials, along with medium and just enough habitable small interstellar materials, which were countless.
"We have so many large interstellar materials we could attack first, of course, there are also some medium materials we can target, though the impact may not be significant."
Findley pointed at the dots on the light screen, listing them one by one.
Initially, within the territories that surrounded the entire Country of Taia, there were more than eighty livable resource points that reached large interstellar material standards. Among them, more than ten were of an extra-large scale; if Let Jia Yan were to see them, they would all appear almost as big as the Moon, practically planets themselves!
"The entire Country of Taia turned out to be this large, and this is considered a small country. In this Northern Star Domain, the definition of a large country still exceeds my imagination."
Jia Yan looked at the dots on the light screen, each shimmering, feeling somewhat sentimental.
"Uh? Is there a Scientific Re
"I wouldn’t do anything to upset you, Lord. Just understand, I just desperately want to return my ancestral land to the hands of the Bella people."
That day, the already fleet-poor Mosquito Fleet split into two divisions, one led by Jia Yan and Kama, headed for the research institute’s celestial body that Jia Yan wanted to seize. On the other hand, Findley led a fleet of fewer than three hundred battleships, called the Mosquito Fleet Second Army, toward another direction.
"Kama, please forgive my actions. Jia Yan’s power is too strong, I must have some means to counter him."
After the fleet had split, Findley, watching the main body of the Mosquito Fleet moving away, had a look of reluctance in her eyes, but she remained resolute!
