Kepler Sector, Administrative Planet Rabi.
After screening the surrendered garrison fleet, although only 20% of them could be used, it allowed Lance to gain a large number of troops again.
In the end, after the reorganization was completed, the size of the Rose Fleet increased to 3.8 billion battleships in one go.
As for the new one billion battleships, they were still using the battleships provided by the Federation.
Unknowingly, Lance was no longer interested in the Empire's battleships.
Even if Chris told him that the Federation could help them solve the problem of the highest authority of the royal family.
At the same time, Lance also recruited a large number of civilians on Rabi.
However, these civilians were not like the soldiers that Lance had reorganized from the garrison fleet that had surrendered. They only needed a little adaptability training before they could be used.
These civilians had not undergone any systematic military training. Even if they were now being trained, it would take at least a few months for them to reach the requirements of actual combat.
At this time, the members of the civilian party who were still hidden in various parts of the Empire sent the latest information.
According to the information, the Empire's higher-ups had issued a punitive order. The military would gather three starfield fleets, a total of 30 billion battleships, and head to the star system where Rabi was located.
The estimated time of arrival was about a month later.
If it was before, the three starfield fleets would definitely make Lance's scalp tingle.
But now, he really didn't take these three starfield fleets seriously.
After all, the Federation's battleships were much stronger than the Empire's battleships in all aspects.
Even if it was 3.8 billion against 30 billion, Lance still had the confidence to win under the nearly one-to-ten difference in numbers.
Not to mention that the Empire's fleets under the command of the noble commanders, it was a big question whether they could exert 20% or 30% of their combat power.
A month passed in the blink of an eye.
After all, the Empire had space transmission technology. Although its space transmission technology was still very basic, and because of the problem of energy, it could not create a large or even a super stargate like the Federation.
However, it was not a problem to rely on small and medium-sized stargates to ambush Rabi.
Lance didn't want to let them ambush his base when he was fighting with the Empire's fleet on the front line.
Therefore, to be on the safe side, Lance still asked Chris for help to defend Rabi during the war.
With regards to this request, Chris didn't even consider it before nodding and agreeing.
At the end of the day, this was part of the agreement between the two parties. Furthermore, the Federation's interests required them to support Lance as soon as possible. If necessary, Chris was even prepared to take the initiative to speed up the process of Lance overthrowing the nobles.
-----
Ten light-years away from Kaeller, tens of billions of battleships were lying in the void.
Originally … This should have been a very shocking scene, but anyone could see that although this fleet was huge, the quality of the soldiers was very problematic!
Except for a few fleets that were in a very neat formation, most of the fleets' formations were a bit crooked. It was not what a well-trained Starfleet should look like.
In the bridge of one of the Titan-class battleships, more than ten nobles in luxurious attire were sitting around a table.
However, they were not discussing the upcoming war. Instead, they were leisurely drinking afternoon tea and chatting as if they were on an outing.
"Speaking of which, Osar and James are really useless. Five billion battleships, and they didn't even send out any news!"
"That's right. In the end, the three of us had to make a special trip here."
"Take it easy, it's just an armed trip!"
"That's true, hahaha!"
Suddenly, the entire bridge was filled with the laughter of these three people, while the others seemed to be used to it and didn't react at all, except for one of the staff officers …
Go ahead and laugh. This is the only time you can still laugh.
After a while, I'm afraid you won't even be able to cry!
Looking at the three commanders of the Starfield Fleet, Lucas sneered in his heart.
As a member of the civilian faction, because of his key position, he was the staff officer of the Starfield Fleet Commander.
Therefore, he did not go to Lasaia like the others, but continued to stay and provide all kinds of information to Lance.
The three commanders still didn't know that their every move had been clearly known by Lance through Lucas.
"Commander, the fleet has finished resting. Should we depart now?"
The captain looked at the time, frowned, and came to one of them, who was the commander of this expedition, Rayles, and said.
"Bastard, can't you see we're having afternoon tea? You're so blind!"
"Okay, Rayles, you don't have to be so grumpy. It's better to finish early!"
"Yes, although the starry sky is beautiful, it's still boring after a long time. Let's finish early and go to Planet La Bi to rest comfortably for a few days."
"Well, since you all said so, let's go!"
Rayles thought about it and agreed. After staying in space for more than a month, he was indeed a little tired.
It's better to finish business early and rest on Planet La Bi.
Speaking of which, Planet La Bi is a level seven life planet with a beautiful environment and pleasant climate …
"What are you waiting for? Didn't you hear what we said just now? Let's go! "
"You really don't have any eyesight at all!"
Rayles, who was imagining himself sunbathing on the beach of Planet La Bi, happened to see the captain still standing at the side from the corner of his eye, and immediately scolded.
"Yes, Commander!"
"How many times do I have to say it? Yes, Commander, is your brain made of paste?"
"Yes, Commander!"
Although he was on the verge of exploding, the captain still forcefully suppressed his anger.
And this scene was seen by Lucas on the other side.
Lucas was naturally aware of Sewitt's background.
He was a fallen noble of the Empire. Every generation of his family was very upright and there had never been an incident of bullying civilians. In fact, they often helped civilians.
However, such behavior was ultimately incompatible with the entire noble family. Therefore, Siwitt's family was rejected by other nobles for many years and gradually declined.
Now, the entire family had no other assets other than their ancestral home. It was likely that in this generation, they would be demoted to civilians.
It seemed that Siwitt's side could be won over!
Lucas could not help but think so in his heart as he looked at Captain Siwitt who was forcefully suppressing his anger.
"Order the entire fleet to activate the hyperdrive engine and perform a joint hyperdrive with the third hyperdrive array."
"Target,Star System Kaiser!"
Just as Lucas was planning how to win over this desolate noble, in the bridge …
Siwitt's order was heard!
