The Laswell System.
Similar to Harrington, this was a star system located at the outermost edge of the Wilton System. After deploying a large number of hyperdrive interferences, these two star systems became the only way for the Rose Fleet to enter Willington.
After all, in the previous few battles, except for the first expedition of the Empire, when Lance used hyperspace navigation in the face of Eltek's strange move, he had never exposed this technology again.
In that battle, with Sewitt's help, they had captured all of the Empire's fleet and nobles, so they did not have the chance to send out any information.
Therefore, even now, the Empire did not know that the Rose Fleet had hyperdrive technology.
Under such circumstances, the Empire directly used the method of a level 6 civilization to set up the defense of the entire Wilton System.
Due to the long standoff between the two sides, after Sewitt led his army into Laswell, the defenders did not panic too much.
After all, they had always been in the highest state of preparation.
Moreover, as the gateway to the Wilton System, regardless of whether it was Laswell or Harrington, the Empire had deployed a total of 100 billion warships to guard it.
However, although the number of defenders was more than three times that of the Rose Fleet, due to the difference in technology and the precision of the soldiers, they quickly fell into a disadvantageous position.
This was under the condition that Sewitt and Aiur were holding back as much as possible!
Soon, seeing that the situation was not right, the defenders had no choice but to send a request for help from the Imperial Planet.
-----
In the audience room of the Imperial Palace, when they heard the military report from the guards, they all gasped in shock.
The rebel army … had really attacked the Empire's central command!
Moreover, it was so fast!
Originally, according to the nobles' plan, although the rebel army had reached a certain scale, they did not dare to attack the Wilton System.
After all, according to the intelligence, the rebel army's current fleet size was between 60 to 70 billion warships, but the Empire had already gathered 800 billion warships here.
According to the original plan, after a month, when all of the Empire's warships were in place, they would begin the battle to eliminate the rebel army.
However, none of the nobles would have thought …
They had not even made a move, and the rebel army had already come knocking on their door.
Moreover, they had more than ten times the rebel army's military strength.
This was simply … unreasonable!
Evidently, this group of nobles still hadn't learned their lesson from the previous strategy of constantly adding fuel to the fire.
If it weren't for Emperor Randon being smart enough to send out a fleet assembly order to the entire empire, the Wilton Star System would have been destroyed by these idiots long ago.
Disappointed with the nobles, Emperor Landon took back his authority to command the fleet and personally led the final battle!
"Bring me the images from the frontline!"
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
The guard immediately operated his portable terminal, and several huge virtual interfaces appeared in the audience room.
Just from the tactical video interface alone, it could be seen that the dynasty's fleet was already showing signs of decline. If they couldn't get reinforcements in time, defeat was inevitable.
However, although the situation had deteriorated, it was still a scale of 100 billion battleships after all, and it would not be wiped clean in a short time.
After all, even if there were a hundred billion pigs for you to slaughter, you would still have to slaughter them until you had a mental breakdown.
Logically speaking, this should be the case. However, the prerequisite was that the difference in combat strength between the two sides was not so great that it would cause despair!
Of course, on the battlefield, whether it was Siwitt or Aiur, they all faithfully carried out Lance's orders, and tried their best to restrain their combat strength, whether it was firepower or range!
Therefore, in the eyes of Great Emperor Landon and the nobles, it was a misconception.
Although the enemy was strong, and they were at a disadvantage.
However, as long as there were enough reinforcements, the rebel army could be wiped out!
"Immediately send out four galactic legions, two of them will be led by a Royal Defense Fleet, and reinforce Laswell and Harrington as soon as possible!"
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
After receiving the order, the guard immediately retreated.
In the audience room, the nobles looked at each other, not understanding what was going on.
In Laswell and Harrington, there were only 30 billion rebel battleships each, but His Majesty's order was to send out four galactic legions and two Royal Defense Fleets. That was a total of 420 billion battleships!
Wasn't this making a mountain out of a molehill?
Alright, these idiotic nobles were still sleeping in their equally idiotic battle strategy, unable to wake up.
Seeing this, Emperor Landon shook his head and sighed. He thought to himself, "Once this is over, I'll have to deal with this bunch of nobles..."
They were too useless, and had lost their value.
"Men!"
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
Hearing Emperor Landon's call, a guard quickly walked in.
"Pass down my orders, send out eight galactic fleets, mobilize all battleship class stargates, and send them to the eight galactic capitals occupied by the rebel army!
Tell them not to hold back, and destroy everything in sight! "
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
The guard immediately acknowledged and retreated.
"Your Majesty, isn't it a little too much to destroy the capitals of the eight galactic capitals?"
"Yes, as long as we defeat the rebels in Laswell and Harrington, we can easily reclaim the eight galactic capitals!"
"Your Majesty, please reconsider!"
All of the nobles voiced their objections.
After all, this was the center of the entire empire, eight of the nine major star fields in the Cassano Star System. Moreover, it was the capital of the eight major star fields.
As the top nobles of the empire, which one of them did not own a huge amount of assets in the eight galactic capitals?
Every one of them was hoping to reclaim some of their assets after defeating the rebel army.
But what kind of order did Emperor Landon give?
Destroy everything in the eight galactic capitals?
Was this a joke?
As nobles who valued wealth more than their lives, how could they allow this to happen?
"Shut up!"
"Where are the guards?"
"Your Majesty, what are your orders?"
Following Emperor Landon's command, hundreds of fully armed royal guards rushed into the meeting room.
"Take down this group of people who can't accomplish anything but are good at spoiling things!"
Without my orders, no one is allowed to come into contact with them. I will decide what to do with them after the war is over! "
Initially, he did not want to do it now.
These useless fools were too much of a hindrance. If he kept them around, they would only cause more trouble for him.
Finally, Emperor Landon could not take it anymore and made his move!
Of course, it was only house arrest. He did not send them to prison or execute them.
After all, it was the final battle with the rebel army, and he still needed the support of the major families, so he could not go too far.
So, he had no choice but to put them under house arrest until after the war.
