Chapter 274 New Eden's Response
Frederick McKee expected Lao Qian's refusal, but he still felt a little guilty.
But this little guilt disappeared in an instant, and was replaced by a firm face.
"Teacher, I must get this ancient relic!"
Although their family has barely entered the upper middle class in the Freedom Camp because of him, it is still not enough!
Now the whole family has been hit by the opponent, and that is the opponent he cannot offend.
So he needs this ancient relic to break the situation!
Only this ancient relic can allow him to continue to climb up until he can completely control his own destiny.
Half an hour later, all the commanders of the Freedom Camp were sitting in the conference room.
Frederick McKee looked at these commanders under his command and said lightly:
"I have reached a consensus with the Justice Order. Both sides will not go to war before they get this ancient relic, so now the strategic focus needs to be shifted to the Betales Federation."
Hearing that a consensus had been reached with the Justice Order, a commander frowned.
"Commander-in-chief, this justice order is not trustworthy!"
Frederick McKee did not deny this.
After all, trusting the enemy is a stupid thing in itself.
So he also has to leave a backup plan on the front line with the justice order.
"I know, so I plan to send only a few elite fleets to attack the Betales Federation, and the rest of the fleets will continue to garrison the front line to defend the justice order!"
Although the Betales Federation has received some military assistance from New Eden and its strength has increased a lot.
But compared with the elite soldiers and generals of their free camp, there is a clear gap.
This cannot be made up by a little military assistance!
Seeing that their commander-in-chief has comprehensive considerations, the remaining commanders have little objection and wait patiently for orders.
"Order, the first to sixth fleets, as well as the first and second dreadnought fleets are dispatched to the front line of the Betales constellation. This time I will command it personally!"
Faced with Frederick McKee carrying so many fleets, someone immediately expressed a different opinion.
"Commander-in-chief, this is just the Betales Federation. It doesn't need so many fleets, right?"
In their opinion, how much war potential does this civilization that can be trapped for decades by a few pirates have?
Even if they give their all, it is estimated that no more than eight fleets can be formed!
This attack is not just them, the Justice Order will definitely attack, so the fleets that can defend against them will definitely not exceed five.
And Frederick McKee brought so many fleets, even two dreadnought fleets, which is a bit of a waste.
"Not useful?" Frederick McKee looked at the commander who refuted and asked, "Do you know who the other side's commander-in-chief is?"
The commander hesitated for a moment, then shook his head.
He had not paid much attention to the Betales Federation before. After all, in his opinion, this force was just a splash of water under the iron hoof of the coalition forces, and it could not cause any waves.
His targets were the commanders of the Justice Order.
Frederick McKee slowly swept his eyes over the crowd and said expressionlessly: "That's my teacher. I, as well as Michael Blake, the current commander-in-chief of the Justice Order, are all his students.
We both learned command from him. Do you think I need to bring so many fleets?"
Facing Michael Blake, Frederick McKee can fight with a fleet of the same size.
He even dared to use a small fleet to deal with his main fleet without losing the upper hand.
But facing Lao Qian, his mentor, he didn't want to engage in any conspiracy in front of this master.
Because the old man, known as the flower of the empire, has seen all kinds of conspiracy, and he doesn't want to be a clown in front of Lao Qian.
Facing this teacher who is good at all kinds of conspiracies, it is the kingly way to suppress him with force!
So Frederick McKee would not hesitate to bring two dreadnought fleets.
Hearing this, everyone stopped refutation.
The situation in the justice order was similar. Facing this former teacher, Michael Blake did not dare to be careless either. He directly dispatched ten conventional fleets and two dreadnought fleets, and the rest of the fleets continued to garrison in the border galaxies of the Xuanmu and Xuanguang constellations.
The movements of the two camps naturally could not be concealed from the Betales Federation, nor from New Eden, which had been closely watching the war situation here.
Because Blood Wei III was still in the ancient ruins and had not come out, Lao Qian could only take the lead and start to make arrangements.
Looking at the vast starry sky, Lao Qian's face seemed to be smiling.
"Let me see if you two little guys have made some progress."
At the same time, Shi Man, who was conspiring with Delk Ellis to seize a wormhole, also received an urgent message from Aura.
"Commander, the ancient ruins appeared on the first star of Betales, resulting in the two camps having ceased fighting and starting to attack the Betales Federation!"
Aura briefly reported the matter to Shi Man.
Shi Man had been prepared for the two camps to attack the Betales Federation, but he didn't expect it to happen so early this time.
Shi Man was a little curious about the ancient ruins that Aura mentioned.
"What is this ancient ruins? It can make the two camps temporarily stop fighting and attack the Betales Federation together?"
Aura thought about it and made a very vivid analogy to Shi Man about this ancient ruins.
"Commander, this ancient ruins is the research base of ancient civilization.
You can see the tombs in the game, and you can find all kinds of data from these ancient ruins, and even get all the technology of a certain civilization from them."
After listening to Aura's explanation, Shi Man immediately understood it.
Then he rubbed his hands and said, "Aura, should we also get involved in this ancient ruins?"
He had played archaeology in the game, but he hadn't tried archaeology in reality yet!
But Aura poured a basin of cold water on Shi Man.
"Commander, I don't recommend New Eden to fight for this ancient ruins."
"Why?"
Shi Man was a little puzzled.
Let's not talk about other things about this ancient ruins. Even if it has some warship data, it can be used as a reference for New Eden.
For example, if there is relevant construction data or even drawings of a Titan in this ancient ruins, the Titan of the Angel Enterprise Consortium can be studied more smoothly.
The reference effect of this technology is not small!
And generally speaking, shouldn't Aura actively support such things?
As for worrying about the Betales Federation, it's a joke!
Apart from Shi Man and New Eden, when has Aura ever cared about other people?
In Aura's words, everything is for Commander, everything is for New Eden, what does the life and death of outsiders have to do with me?
It can be said that without Shi Man, the supreme commander leading the New Eden rules, this New Eden will become a ruthless, iron-blooded, pure war machine!
This will be the nightmare of all civilizations!
It can be seen from the last "Extinction Order".
Hearing Shi Man's doubts, Aura explained:
"Commander, because of the various warships and equipment displayed in the "Extermination Order" and the Northern War, the outside world has already believed that we have inherited the legacy of an ancient civilization. It is only because of Her Majesty Wang Yan that there has been no big waves.
If we participate in the ancient ruins of Betales this time, it will undoubtedly push us into the abyss.
With a civilization with two ancient ruins, even Her Majesty Wang Yan will not be able to suppress the greed of some people in the Justice Order."
Aura's words are well-founded, and this is also true.
Originally, the things exposed in New Eden were already eye-catching enough. If the ancient ruins of Betales were taken down, we really had to prepare for a full-scale war.
Faced with Aura's opinion, Shi Man naturally shrugged and gave up the idea of interstellar archaeology in reality.
"So are the ancient ruins in the hands of the Betales Federation now?"
"Yes, the portal to the ancient ruins is deep in the core of the Betales Prime Star."
Ola had already investigated the information clearly, and he even knew the specific location of the ancient ruins!
Then, Ola told Shi Man all the news about the Betales Empire arsenal and that Blood Wei III seemed to have entered the ancient ruins.
Shi Man summarized the news in his mind and suddenly lamented the changes in the Betales star field.
After learning that the ancient ruins of Betales had been developed by the Betales Empire, Shi Man no longer had any ideas. For New Eden, only the technological data in the ancient ruins were valuable.
But this ancient ruins had been developed by the Betales Empire for decades before, so it was a bit useless for New Eden.
Because Aura had already secretly obtained the relevant warships and other technologies of the Betales Federation.
After all, the engineering complexes supported by New Eden are not just for construction.
"Aura, do those officials have no tasks recently?"
Before Aura spoke, a rough voice came from outside the door.
"Commander, I am free. Please give me any tasks!"
The door opened and a burly man came in, touching his bald head.
"Mod, you are stationed in the Omega Star Region, why did you come back?"
Shi Man looked at Mod, a little puzzled.
After Mod's group took over the Omega Star Region, the rest of the Omega Star Region was expelled on the grounds of military control.
Now the entire Omega Star Region has become the New Eden ice mine collection site. Every day, a steady stream of ice mines are transported to the Alpha Star Region, and other industrial facilities are still under construction.
The Mod Group also took on the task of defending the entire Omega Star Region.
At this point, Mod looked depressed and complained to Shi Man in a very aggrieved manner.
"Commander, half a month ago, other officials of the Angel Enterprise Consortium of Tobias Kruzoel entered the Omega Star Region, saying that they wanted to conduct confidential experiments, and then asked me to change the defense zone.
I thought that the Angel Enterprise Consortium had many officials and fleets, and could better block the Omega Star Region, so I agreed.
But I didn't expect that when I went to the South Fortress, Harcom Stamai turned his face and refused to recognize me. He refused to hand over the defense zone to me on the grounds that you personally ordered him to garrison the South Fortress.
I had no choice but to come back."
After listening, Shi Man immediately understood that this matter was still his fault.
Half a month ago, the officials of the Angel Enterprise Consortium said that there was a breakthrough in the development of Titan, so they wanted to go to the Omega Star Region for experiments. Then he was brushing the wanderers at the time, and he said that they only needed to discuss it with Mod.
But I didn't expect these guys to coax Mod back to the base.
But it's good this way, just in time there is a task that needs an official to do.
