After Xu Lei issued all the orders and heard the answers from the congressmen in front of him, he felt very satisfied and was extremely optimistic about the outcome of this war.

Considering that the enemy fleet group may cross the Kuiper Belt at any time and officially enter the solar system.

Then Xu Lei no longer hesitated and immediately announced that the meeting was over and returned to Tianren No. 7 as quickly as possible.

Heading towards the first safe defense ring in the solar system.

Alliance members such as Yu Hongliang and Enoch have also organized efforts to allocate resources to the front line and do their best to provide support to ensure the advantages of the ring battlefield.

Prevent the flames of war from spreading to the inside.

It is true that there are three security defense rings in the solar system, but the second one is located near the orbit of Saturn. If the first ring is lost, the battlefield will directly expand to Saturn.

At that time, it will be difficult to ensure the safety of Titan Fortress.

You must know that not only are there a large number of humans living on Titan today, but there are also many top scientists in the solar system. Plus the five large shipyards, if they are all destroyed, it will definitely cause a major blow to the solar system.

At least the first problem exposed is the loss of battleship supplies.

Therefore, no matter what, we must ensure that the ring belt is not captured.

at the same time.

Following Xu Lei's order, the two fleets in the solar system immediately set off towards the Neptune ring.

And all the strength was mobilized as required.

Only a small fleet is left to garrison each planetary city and the other two defensive rings.

Since the flying speed of Tianren 7 was far beyond that of large battleships, Xu Lei soon arrived at the Neptune Defense Ring Monitoring and Command Center.

Discuss specific plans to deal with the enemy with the person in charge here.

"What's the current situation of the ring? There shouldn't be any loopholes, right?"

"Don't worry, Congressman Xu. The Neptune defense ring has just undergone a comprehensive system inspection. I can guarantee that there will never be any problems." In the hall of the command center, Zhang Jingtong, as the top person in charge here, answered Xu Lei's questions confidently. Give an overwhelmingly positive answer.

Obviously very confident.

"That's good." Xu Lei nodded when he heard the sound.

He has great trust in Zhang Jingtong's sense of responsibility and ability. After all, he is an outstanding commander at the same time as Lei Zhan.

Starting from being responsible for the heavy hammer cruiser, he has gradually improved to where he is today.

Speaking of which, Zhang Jingtong was one of the first humans to voluntarily upload his consciousness and transform into a mechanical being in order to survive the catastrophe.

He was previously assigned to Lei Zhan as the deputy commander of the Alliance's First Fleet. He once commanded battleships to fight against the fleet of the Pioneer Civilization, and ultimately achieved a major victory.

Later, considering that the alliance's fleet is gradually maturing, the development of human civilization requires talents in various fields.

Therefore, he was transferred to the Neptune Defense Ring Monitoring and Command Center as the top person in charge.

You must know that the importance of the Neptune Defense Ring as the security wall of human civilization is self-evident, and it does require the most trustworthy commander to be in charge.

Otherwise, even if something small happens, it will not be something human civilization can bear.

Xu Lei knew that time was precious, so he did not waste it at this time, and then raised a new question.

"How long does it take for our Alliance fleet to arrive?"

"Have any other enemies been discovered?"

When Zhang Jingtong followed Lei Zhan, he had some contact with Xu Lei, so even though he was under great pressure at this time, he still answered the facts calmly.

"The center has just spoken with the leaders of the two fleets, and it is confirmed that they will all arrive near Neptune in three hours."

"There will be no delay in fighter jets."

"As for the understanding of the enemy, it is still limited to those few images."

Xu Lei knew that all the space monitoring devices deployed in the Kuiper Belt had lost contact and were most likely destroyed by the Andromeda fleet. It was indeed difficult for the command center to obtain new information.

But when he thought of this, he was about to say something to comfort him, but Zhang Jingtong's voice rang in his ears again.

"However, according to our speculation, the enemy sent so many warships to travel at the same time this time, and they will definitely not fly too fast."

"Coupled with the natural barriers in the Kuiper Belt, if the other party wants to enter our solar system, it will only take a few days, which is enough for us to make overall arrangements."

"Very well done. It seems that it was a good decision to arrange you here." Xu Lei saw that Zhang Jingtong made him so worry-free, and immediately praised him without hesitation.

Zhang Jingtong replied modestly: "The congressman has spoken harshly. This is what I should do."

In the following time, Xu Lei, led by Zhang Jingtong, personally visited several important ring nodes. After confirming that everything was operating normally and that it was in the highest alert state, he felt somewhat relieved.

All the work that needs to be done is done, and then all you have to do is wait for the arrival of the enemy fleet group.

And things were just as Zhang Jingtong answered. About the third hour after Xu Lei successfully arrived at the lobby of the Neptune Defense Ring Monitoring and Command Center, Lei Zhan, who was in charge of the Alliance's First Fleet, and Gustav, who was in charge of the Alliance's Second Fleet, Finally deployed to the designated location within the ring.

Including a total of about two hundred Shenwei large Star Destroyers and more than a thousand medium-sized battleships.

As for the largest number of small warships, the total number is no more than 10,000.

Just looking at the number of battleships, there is indeed a big gap with the enemy.

For this reason, Xu Lei also specifically asked Zhang Jingtong about this matter, wanting to hear his true thoughts.

——

"Based on the information we currently have about the enemy, relying solely on the alliance's financial resources will probably be a very brutal battle. Do you think we can win this time?"

At this time, Lei Zhan and Gustav were in the command hall. When Xu Lei said these words with a serious expression, the others fell silent.

He seemed to be thinking about this question seriously but did not answer it for a long time.

In the end, Zhang Jingtong was the first to come to his senses. After a slight hesitation, he looked at Xu Lei and said firmly: "I don't think we humans will fail."

"Back then, when the scope of human activities was limited to the earth, stars and moon, we did not always win in the face of threats from pioneer civilizations. In many cases, the number of battleships did not determine the outcome of a war."

Xu Lei felt quite bright when he saw Zhang Jingtong taking the pioneer civilization as an example.

Then a playful smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and then he asked in a more serious tone: "Are you so confident?"

"certainly."

"Because you are still the one leading us." Zhang Jingtong said firmly.

As soon as these words came out, they immediately opened up the conversation between the two people next to them. They immediately echoed: "Jing Tong is right. As long as you, Congressman Xu, are here, human civilization cannot disappear."

"We will defend our homeland to the death." Taking over Lei Zhan's words, Gustave expressed his attitude in Chinese.

I have to say that although Xu Lei's pressure on himself has increased a lot because of the attitudes of several people, he is still quite happy in his heart.

With so many like-minded people willing to follow him, at least this civilization is worth protecting.

But it is worth mentioning that in this situation, Xu Lei did not take the opportunity to say some words of encouragement. After all, all guarantees are in vain before seeing the enemy's true strength.

"You should return to your respective posts first. There are only a few days left before this war."

So after briefly explaining these two sentences, he returned to Tianren No. 7 and stood ready to wait for the arrival of the enemy.

…

Earth ephemeris.

Tuesday, December 14, 2117.

Today is definitely an extremely dark day for human civilization.

Because the menacing Andromeda Galaxy fleet finally appeared in the solar system with the momentum to crush everything, bringing despair to mankind.

"The enemy has entered the monitoring range, and the picture is being transmitted simultaneously..."

"Synchronized..."

In the Tianren No. 7 core cabin command center, Xu Lei stood in front of the main control console, looking at the Neptune Defense Ring Monitoring Command Center screen synchronized on the screen in front of him, his face could not help but darken.

Moving his eyes to the screen, he could see a large number of battleships emerging from the Kuiper Belt, like a sword from the stars thrusting towards the solar system.

Compared with the several images transmitted from the previous space monitoring device, we now have a clearer understanding of the number of enemy warships. However, even though we were prepared, we still couldn't help but gasp when faced with such a scene. .

Marvel at the huge handiwork of the Andromeda Galaxy!

Fortunately, Xu Lei behaved quite calmly. At this time, he just said to the brain model calmly: "Calculate all the enemy's warships. I want to know the accurate figures."

"Calculating..."

As a super intelligent brain, the model can undoubtedly do such small things very quickly.

In less than half a minute, two sets of detailed data appeared in the middle of the screen.

"Five hundred and thirty large battleships, plus over 10,000 medium-sized battleships, can make the Clay Empire, the overlord of the Andromeda Galaxy, so fearful. It is actually an honor for our human civilization."

Xu Lei whispered the number of battleships in the middle of the screen. While whispering softly, he felt somewhat bitter in his heart.

Of course he understands that the Andromeda Galaxy can send so many warships specifically to deal with the solar system. In all likelihood, it was because he had previously caused too much impact on the opponent by driving the Sky Blade Seven.

So much so that they would not hesitate to use heavy troops to completely destroy human civilization.

All in all, the Clay Empire was still afraid.

I am afraid that with the growth rate of human civilization, it will soon completely surpass the Clay Empire and reach a whole new level.

You must know that there are only two hundred large warships in the solar system at the moment, and the medium-sized warships are ten times more powerful than the enemy. Coupled with the small warships that have not yet been released, it is indeed a very difficult and difficult battle.

If an appropriate combat plan is not adopted, even if humans have giant battleships like the Tianren 7, it will still be difficult to gain much advantage.

More importantly, the Alliance fleet in the solar system will inevitably suffer heavy losses.

Just as Xu Lei was thinking about this issue, he saw Zhang Jingtong suddenly appeared on the screen in front of him, and immediately said: "Congressman Xu, we received a call request from the enemy, and they named you to talk to you."

"By the way, the opponent's commander calls himself Renault." Zhang Jingtong finally added.

"Reno!"

"It could actually be him?"

When Xu Lei heard this familiar name, he was suddenly surprised. He didn't expect to meet him again.

I got Reno's memory and reached a cooperative relationship with him.

Thinking of sending a treasonous traitor back to the Clay Empire, even if he was lucky enough to save his life, he would never be reused again.

They may even have to live under surveillance for the rest of their lives.

In addition, he could also ask for a good compensation from the Clay Empire, so he did not take Renault's life.

But he never expected that Renault not only saved his life, but also regained his identity as the fleet commander, and even went to the galaxy for the second time as the commander-in-chief.

I really don’t know what kind of ecstasy soup he poured into his own star master, but it doesn’t matter.

However, Xu Lei was only surprised by the appearance of Renault and was not worried about anything. After all, the partial information about the solar system that Renault had was of no use in this war.

Although the enemy's plan is not clear yet, since he wants to communicate with humans, there is no reason for him to refuse.

What's more, according to the display on the screen, the enemy temporarily parked the fleet group in place and did not continue to move towards the Neptune security defense ring.

This proves his attitude of wanting to have a call.

Under this situation, Xu Lei no longer hesitated and said directly to Zhang Jingtong: "Synchronize the calls together and I will talk to them directly."

"It's Congressman Xu. I'll open the call for you right now." Zhang Jingtong received the instruction and quickly answered.

Just like this, as Zhang Jingtong's figure disappeared, two familiar and unfamiliar figures soon appeared on the screen. One of them was Renault, whom he had been in contact with before.

As for the other one, although he had met him when he was negotiating with the Star Lord over the capital city of Yunlei, he was relatively unfamiliar because the other party didn't speak much.

And since it was an acquaintance meeting, Xu Lei acted very relaxed.

After seeing the two of them, he took the initiative and said, "Reno, I didn't expect that we would see each other again."

"Yes, even I can't imagine it myself, and it's still within the scope of your solar system." After hearing what Xu Lei said, Renault also smiled and agreed.

After the simple greetings, Xu Lei was too lazy to waste time. After all, the fleets of both sides were still waiting, so he went straight to the point: "If what I expected is right, your Clay Empire should be aiming to completely wipe out the human race in our solar system this time." The determination to be civilized is here, why bother talking to me if that’s the case?”

"Of course I want to persuade you to surrender and avoid this meaningless resistance." This time, before Renault could speak, Krippen, who was next to him, suddenly interjected.

Xu Lei saw that the other party had finally torn off the hypocritical mask, and his eyes became sharper while sneering.

In the end, I only gave the other party a sonorous and powerful reply: "Fight if you want. Where does all this nonsense come from? Today I don't think human civilization will be buried here!"
