Interstellar Soldier

Chapter 429
The slag star is not big, with a radius of less than three thousand kilometers.

After 200 years of unrestrained and frantic mining, the Slag Star was almost hollowed out, just like a huge hornet's nest.Because it was abandoned before the resources were completely exhausted, no one knew the internal structure of the slag star, and no one knew how many mine holes leading to the star core.The only thing that is certain is that there are many mines on Slag Planet that are large enough for small warships like the Flowing Shadow Ship to pass through.

At the beginning, in order to obtain valuable resources, miners used giant drilling equipment to drill many mine holes directly leading to the star core on the slag star, and as the speed of resource mining accelerated, there were more and more such mine holes.Because the mineral deposits are unevenly distributed, the mines are not straight down, but meandering.After the minerals in the veins were dug out, these mines were connected with each other, forming a huge underground labyrinth.

However, these mines also played a certain protective role.

The main thing is that during the mining process, for the sake of safety, the miners strengthened the mine so that it can withstand the huge pressure inside the planet.Otherwise, the structural defects produced by these mines all over the interior of the slag star would have caused the slag to collapse a long time ago.

Of course, these mines are huge enough for the Flowing Shadow Ship to enter and exit at will.

After traveling through the mine for more than ten minutes, the "Xinghai" slowed down.

This time, Yang Yi did not let the ten streamer ships act together, but separately searched for the mines that entered the interior of the slag star, and then reunited inside the slag star.Of course, Yang Yi also clearly told the female warriors and officers on the other Liuying ships that if the situation was not what he expected, they would flee separately.

In the command cabin, a huge map of the internal structure of the planet is gradually being perfected.

When entering the Slag Planet, including the "Xinghai", ten streamer ships released small detection equipment, mainly to find out the internal structure of the Slag Planet.In any case, if you want to settle twenty legions and let them fight, you need a huge space.Even if Yang Yi's judgment is correct, the Lei Ling clan's fleet will build an advance base on the slag planet after arriving, and will also be stationed on the ground instead of going deep into the slag star.The reason is very simple. The main value of this advance base is to support the fleet, and there are many large warships in the Leiling clan fleet, which cannot enter the interior of the slag planet, so the base can only be built on the surface of the planet.

In fact, this is the most critical prerequisite for Yang Yi's battle plan.

To put it simply, as long as the Lei Ling army that accompanied the fleet enters Slag Star, the battle plan formulated by Yang Yi, or the idea can become a reality.

If the Leiling Clan Legion hadn't entered Slag Star, then Yang Yi's idea was just an idea.

That is, as long as it is discovered that Yang Yi and the others are hiding in the Slag Star, Wanluo Warlord will definitely destroy the Slag Star, and even destroy the entire Zag Galaxy.

As for building an advance base on the slag star, it is obviously impossible.

Of course, as long as it is not discovered by the Lei Ling clan fleet, as long as Wanluo Zhanhuang thinks that the slag star is valuable, as long as it builds an advanced base here, everything is fine.

In any case, it is obviously impossible for the Wanluo War Emperor to order the destruction of the Leiling Clan's legion.

That's why Yang Yi decided to hide first, and he hid in the slag star.When the Lei Ling clan fleet arrives and dispatches the legion to build an advance base on the slag star, the twenty legions brought by Yang Yi will be useful.At that time, everyone will be on the slag planet when fighting with the Leiling clan army. No matter how ruthless the Wanluo war emperor is, he will not be able to order the destruction of the slag star. He will only use all his strength to destroy the enemies on the slag star less time.Because the rear is unstable and there is no reliable forward base, even if the capital ship is difficult to use, the Wanluo War Emperor may not send the fleet away.Besides, Yang Yi has ten Liuying warships in his hand, which can make Wanluo Zhanhuang use his weapon.To put it simply, when the ground army is threatened, the Wanluo Warlord will definitely keep the fleet.Only after destroying Yang Yi and the others, or withdrawing the legion that had invested in the Slag Star, could the Emperor Wanluo send his fleet to other battlefields.

Obviously, as long as Yang Yi and the others entangle the Leiling clan's army, as long as they persist, they can achieve the goal of containing the Leiling clan's fleet.

Of course, the prerequisite for all this is that the Emperor Wanluo decides to build a forward base on the slag star.

Yang Yi was not very worried about this.

That is, in this vicinity, at least in the region of tens of light years, the Zag galaxy is the only uninhabited land, and the slag star is notorious.

If you want to hide a large fleet around here, the Zag system is the ideal choice.

Although there are some ways to hide a fleet with the advanced technology of the Ralink clan, such as keeping the fleet in a space channel that can be maintained for a long time, but if you want the fleet to prepare for battle and complete other pre-war preparations, you must Forward bases must be set.To put it simply, the fleet must be returned to space, which requires a place where the fleet can be hidden, preferably a star system that no one cares about.

There is no doubt that the Zag Galaxy is the ideal choice.

In fact, it was precisely with this in mind that Yang Yi and the others came to the Zag galaxy through a space jump instead of going to a nearby star system.

Of course, others thought so too.

From another perspective, if Yang Yi is in command of the Leiling clan fleet, he will also choose to set up camp in the Zag galaxy.

In addition, that small scout ship can also prove Yang Yi's judgment.If the Zag galaxy is not important, if there is no plan to come here to station, there is no reason for Wanluo War Emperor to send a small scout ship here on standby.As for why there was only one ship and no more small reconnaissance ships were sent over, it may be that Wan Luo Zhanhuang was too confident, or it may be related to his ignorance of the situation, that is, his ignorance of Yang Yi and his whereabouts.You know, if it wasn't for the timely discovery of the signal from the small reconnaissance ship, and without Otis, the female warrior guard captain with a super space fighter, Yang Yi and the others would have been discovered, and the reconnaissance ship would definitely be able to send out the signal in time.

Besides, in the entire Southern Alpha galaxy, except Yang Yi, who would take the initiative to attack the reconnaissance ship of the Lei Ling clan?
Now is the time of war, and the Ralink family is the most powerful top-level civilization in the Milky Way Alliance, and it is impossible for the small scout ship to act independently from the fleet.Not to mention warships of other civilizations, even bold pirates would run away from the small scout ships of the Lei Ling clan.Taking the initiative to attack the battleship of the Lei Ling clan is tantamount to courting death. Even if they can escape by chance, they will definitely not live long.

What really makes Yang Yi uncertain is actually another matter.

That is, whether the Wanluo War Emperor will build his advance base on the slag star.

As mentioned earlier, the main purpose of building an advance base is to provide support for the fleet. After all, fleet operations require a lot of supplies, and all of them cannot be carried by combat ships.It is tens of thousands of light-years away from the jurisdiction of the Leiling Clan. Even if the Leiling Clan has enough transport spaceships, it cannot guarantee to provide all the resources for the fleet.The safest way is to build a base in front to stockpile the supplies needed for fleet operations.

In addition, the forward base can also serve as a military fortress, that is, a support point for the fleet.

The problem is, if it is only supporting fleet operations, it is entirely possible for the forward base to be located in outer space, that is, a space fortress.

Don't forget that most capital ships do not have the ability to fly in the atmosphere.

Although there are not many asteroids and other celestial bodies in the Zag galaxy, and the slag star has no satellites, but with the technical strength of the Leiling clan, it is not difficult to piece together a space fortress with battleships.If the plan had already been drawn up, then Wan Luo Zhanhuang would be prepared.A space fortress made of warships or spaceships will not be very strong and has limited functions, but it is enough to support fleet operations in a short period of time.

So, is it a ground base or a space fortress?

Yang Yi couldn't guess it, but he thought of the key factors that determine this issue.

That is, Wanluo Warlord will decide what kind of forward base to build according to the battlefield situation, to be precise, the battle that the Leiling clan fleet will fight.

To put it simply, if it is just a battle and there is no suspense, then the Wanluo Warlord obviously has no reason to make large-scale construction. A small space fortress that can provide supplies and maintenance for the battleship is enough.Even if the advance base is to be built, it is not here, but in a star system in the fourth northern region, or even the home galaxy.After all, after the Weaving Star Clan Legion is wiped out, the Leiling Clan fleet commanded by Wan Luo Zhanhuang will be the first to reach the North Fourth District, and it will be the only reinforcement that can save the Human Federation.If the situation is just the opposite, and the Ralink fleet is facing a fierce battle with uncertain results, and it may last for a long time, what is needed is a fully functional forward base, and in the Zag galaxy, there is only Such a base can be built on Slag Planet.

Obviously, Yang Yi definitely didn't want to fight an uncertain battle.

For this reason, after making a decision and persuading Shen Chengwen, Otis and others, Yang Yi contacted the Star Soul Queen, to be precise, sent the situation on their side, and implored the Star Soul Queen to launch a Offensive, to show the combat effectiveness of the Weaving Star Clan Legion.

If Wanluo Warlord thinks that the Star-Weaving Clan army led by Empress Star Soul is strong enough to be defeated in one fell swoop, then he will definitely make long-term plans.

Of course, Yang Yi didn't know what the result would be.

In the past, Yang Yi always thought that a commander actually made a plan and then asked his subordinates to implement the plan. It was very easy to command the army to fight.

Obviously, Yang Yi would never think so again.

Making a plan is still a trivial matter, the key is pre-war judgment.What makes Yang Yi even more tormenting is that even if he has a perfect plan, whether it can be turned into a fruit of victory in the end is not up to him to decide, it depends on the actions of the enemy.In other words, he could not grasp the development direction of the battle situation.

This uncontrolled situation, which can be said to be resigned to fate, made Yang Yi very crazy, but there was nothing he could do.

Of course, this was his first time fighting as a commander, and it was normal to feel helpless, dazed, and worried.
