266: Chapter 264 Sir, they've entered ____! —Go, devise a plan.

In the deep space of Siren V09, in a place where no one can find them,

20 mobile fleets that had completed their refitting had already laid out an inescapable net here.

The entire Legion was sharpening its weapons and feeding its horses, poised and ready, waiting for the coalition forces coming to encircle them to crash right into it and be shattered to pieces.

"Report, the coalition fleet has entered the blockade zone, and just as in Plan No. 1, they have completed their division of forces and are currently advancing toward several important traffic nodes in Siren Constellation."

In the frontline command center, Julius was staring intently at an electronic sand table. A slightly synthesized voice came from his headset, pulling him out of his 'serious thinking' expression,

though he himself didn't know what he was thinking about.

"They've split up... what's the size of each formation?"

"Based on the electronic information provided by the night lamp and cross-verification from our multiple reconnaissance formations, the opponent has split into 5 formations, each with a Warship signal source of around 150,000."

"Good," Julius nodded, "Understood."

Perhaps out of arrogance, or perhaps because they never imagined their opponent had electronic warfare capabilities, the coalition forces did not implement any electronic controls at all.

This resulted in the coalition's communication system becoming entirely the night lamp's playground.

Many dispatch messages and command orders were known to the night lamp, and by extension the intelligence department of the Guardian Angel Legion, even earlier than the grassroots officers of the coalition forces.

"Current developments are still within the scope of Plan No. 1. Proceed according to plan—remember to be ready for contingencies at all times."

"Yes, sir!"

A loud response came through the headset, followed by a brief busy signal—the other side had unilaterally ended the communication.

However, Julius's heart did not calm down because the communication was cut. On the contrary, it beat faster and harder, as if it would leap out of his chest in the next second—

A tough battle was coming.

...

On the other side, aboard Gaius's ship, the "Coral Sea,"

he, along with the portion of the Xila Republic within the coalition, was responsible for attacking Siren V91.66.

It had to be admitted that although the coalition's decision-making system was chaotic and mixed with shit-stirrers like the Empire, there were at least some professionals—

When it came to an offensive where they held an absolute advantage, they still knew how to fight,

unlike a certain Sun the Hundred-Thousand who only knew how to maintain balances.

The five star systems designated as targets were the traffic cores of Siren Constellation.

If the coalition mastered these five nodes, their military projection capability within Siren Constellation would be greatly enhanced.

Moreover, the connections between the five nodes were deep, and the speed of mutual support was very fast. If one was attacked, it could receive support from the other four nodes within an hour,

so they planned to strike all five nodes at once.

"Is this 'a lion using its full strength even when hunting a rabbit'?"

Thinking this, Gaius couldn't help but mutter to himself.

On the Bridge, the black bead that had fallen on the floor had long since been picked up by him and was now being turned over and examined in his hand.

"Lord Celsus, this will be an honor for those slaves," the adjutant beside him said, looking at Gaius and bowing slightly.

"To die under our gunfire and be transformed into our merit and glory is the most useful moment for those brutes since their birth."

Gaius was silent for a while, but the movement of his hands did not stop.

After a long pause, he slowly replied,

"Secure the collection on the display stand; every one of them is precious."

"War is the duty of soldiers, and all we have to do is enjoy the glory and victory."

"Understood, my Lord," the adjutant continued to bow, adding, "Those soldiers only need to fight bravely. How could they possibly understand your painstaking efforts?"

Hearing the adjutant's echo, Gaius gave a soft smile, his tone gradually becoming serious:

"Alright, enough of this nonsense. Order the fleet to advance at full speed!"

"For thousands of years, the starry sky has belonged to us. This time, how could we let these filthy low-lifes lay a finger on it?"

"Therefore! Notify the entire fleet! No surrenders will be accepted for this mission! No prisoners!"

"Every single one of those slaves who don't know the rules—kill them all for me!"

Hearing this command, Gaius's adjutant immediately stood at attention and shouted loudly:

"Yes, sir!!!"

Of course,

it wasn't just the Xila Republic's fleet; the Military Alliance, the Federation, and the other four routes of the fleet were also racing toward their respective targets—

like fierce beasts baring their fangs and claws.

Unfortunately, this time, they seemed to have grossly underestimated their opponent,

and grossly overestimated themselves.
