To Lin Kexin, this was the worst possible situation.
A level-9 technological civilization was one level higher than the Federation.
Although her Dreadnought fleet was also a level-9 technology, the problem was that there were only five standard battleships, five billion dreadnought battleships!
Who knew how many battleships the enemy had!
If there was any advantage the Federation had compared to a level-9 technological civilization, it would be the use of dark energy.
Due to the accidental development of an auxiliary calculation device, the Federation seemed to have a cheat code in the field of dark energy. Otherwise, they would not have been able to kill Haig.
It should be noted that among civilizations of the same level, biological civilizations were far stronger than technological civilizations. The fact that the Federation could kill a level-9 biological civilization was enough to show how powerful the cheat code the Federation had used was on the path to dark energy.
Looking at the battleships that were constantly firing at the defensive line and the battleships of unknown forces that were constantly flying out from the node, Lin Kexin knew that she could not delay any longer. Now was not the time to talk about face. Once this place was lost, the Federation's entire battle plan would collapse!
"Adjutant, immediately report your information to the commander of the battle and request for two Undead Legions to come to Jerez for support."
"Yes, Commander!"
After giving the order to the adjutant, Lin Kexin looked at the surveillance screen of the node again.
If she was not mistaken, the enemy seemed to have increased their battleships …
What did this mean?
It meant that not every wave of local battleships that appeared from the ocean currents was completely wiped out. Therefore, after wave after wave, more and more battleships gathered at the ocean currents.
This was not good news. Did you not see that the enemy was able to occasionally counterattack?
However, because the enemy had too few battleships and the new generation of dreadnoughts that also had dark energy shields, they had not caused any casualties to the defenders for the time being. They had only destroyed three unmanned fire support platforms.
Hopefully … I can make it in time!
However, what Lin Kexin did not know was that the enemy was even more dumbfounded than her!
The Sales Empire and the Salamo Republic, which had spent an entire month to send all their battleships into the cosmic ocean currents, did not expect that they would encounter such a tight defense network right after they left the ocean currents. Furthermore … judging from the enemy's attacks, it was a level-9 technological civilization like them?
That's just ridiculous, alright?
Wasn't it said that there was only a Tier 7 civilization and a Tier 8 civilization?
In short, the first batch of warships that set off collapsed after getting rid of the ocean current. No, it should be said that most of them did not even have the time to collapse before they were killed.
They were definitely more confused than Lin Kexin.
Most importantly, apart from some small-scale encirclement and annihilation of internal resistance forces in recent years, the two civilizations hadn't engaged in a large-scale interstellar war for tens of thousands of years.
It could be said that in front of the Federation soldiers, regardless of whether it was the soldiers or the commanders, they could only be considered as rookies.
In addition, there was no way to establish a connection between the inside and outside of the ocean current …
Therefore, they had no war experience, and they were facing an unexpectedly strong enemy. Furthermore, they were unable to establish contact with the command center.
When these three factors were mixed together, the soldiers instantly lost their sense of direction. They did not know what to do and could only fight back randomly.
This helped Lin Kexin imperceptibly, allowing her to persevere for a longer period of time.

"Marshal, there's an emergency situation at the Jerez defense line!"
In the command center of the new Gonggong warship, the communications officer suddenly stood up and reported to Lin Fan loudly.
As soon as he heard that it was an emergency situation from Jerez, Lin Fan realized that perhaps the thing he was most worried about had happened.
He immediately turned on the command terminal and obtained the encrypted emergency battle report.
"It's not a Purgatory force?
"An unknown Type 9 civilization fleet?"
"The exact number is currently unconfirmed?"
This key information made Lin Fan frown …
"Inform Lin Tian to immediately transfer three Undead Legions to Jerez as support. There must be no mistakes!"
"Yes, Commander!"
After thinking about it, Lin Fan finally decided to transfer three Undead Legions to Jerez as support for Lin Kexin.
It was not because Lin Kexin was his daughter, but because Lin Fan simply believed that two Undead Fleets were not enough. If not for the fact that the war with the Zerg was about to begin, Lin Fan even wanted to send the entire Undead Fleet as support.
After all, against an enemy with unknown information, directly giving them a full blow was the smart thing to do. Otherwise, it might become a tactic of adding fuel to the fire. This was a commander's taboo!
"Right, inform Elfi and Erwin to transfer their ten Angel Race Galaxy Clusters and five Elf Race Galaxy Clusters to Jerez as support. We no longer need their protection here!"
"Yes, Marshal!"
Soon, the order was passed to Erwin and Elfi. Elfi was still fine. After all, when they were in the Gemini Supercluster, the Angel Army had attacked many times. She was no stranger to this kind of large-scale interstellar war.
However, compared to Elfi's relative calmness, Erwin was a little agitated.
After all, ever since the Elves joined the Federation, they had not fought a war for decades. Now that the Federation had specially designed a battleship for the Elves and formed five Galaxy Clusters, it would be too wasteful if they continued to eat dust.
That's right. Erwin compared the mission of protecting Gong Gong to … eating dust for a battleship!
If Lin Fan were to hear this, he would definitely not know whether to laugh or cry.
In short, for the past month, seeing the battle reports and military intelligence from the frontline every day, Erwin felt very uncomfortable. She had long wanted to abandon the mission of protecting the new Gonggong and directly lead the army to the frontline!
Now … the opportunity was finally here!

Half a day later, the First to Legio III, temporarily commanded by Wang Hai, were already close to Jerez.
"Commander, we're almost there. We're still 800 light years away from our destination. ETA: seven minutes!"
"Got it. Where are the Angel and Elven fleets?"
"Reporting, the Angel and Elven fleets have not been upgraded to the latest generation of battleships, so they are slower than us. Their current position is here. ETA: 10 hours before they arrive!"
The aide-de-camp pointed at the virtual star map in front of them as he spoke.
"What about the Jerez defense line? Is there any new military intelligence? " "
"No, the latest one is the one that was sent five minutes ago!"
The one that was sent five minutes ago?
In that report, Lin Kexin clearly stated that the first line of defense had been breached. Currently, all the fleets had retreated to the second line of defense to continue sniping.
According to the report, within ten hours of the first line of defense, the Fearless Fleet had lost 107,000 battleships.
This was for the Fearless Fleet, which had been established until now, no ma
tter what mission they carried out, they could complete the mission with zero losses.
Without a doubt, this was a huge blow!
