After reaching an agreement with Garen, Amris immediately informed Gloucester at the frontline to switch to defense and wait for the supplies to arrive.
Then …
The second war of attrition of the dark crystals began!
-----
Three days later …
The Alliance Virtual Combat Conference Room.
"Three minutes ago, the last Super Star Cluster connected to the Empire's frontline was also taken down by the Federation."
After looking at the news he just received, Lin Fan smiled and said to Artemis and Tarovis.
"That's great. In this case, as long as we survive this war of attrition of the dark crystals, we can eat all of the Sun River Empire's frontline fleets!"
"That's right. These fleets make up 90% of their current forces. As long as we eat them, we can push all the way to the center of the universe without any obstacles!"
After hearing this news, Liang Zai was also very excited.
Two of the three stages of the battle plan that was previously formulated had been completed. The remaining stage seemed to have no problems.
As for the second war of attrition launched by the Sun River Empire three days ago, the two of them were not too worried.
After all, Lin Fan had promised before that no matter how many dark crystals the Sun River Empire took out, the Federation would be able to eat them all.
However, the two of them who were excited did not notice that Lin Fan was frowning at this moment.
According to the previous estimation, even if Amris wanted to use attrition to reopen the supply channel to the frontline, it would definitely not be able to last that long.
After all, in just three days, according to the Federation's calculations, the Sun River Empire had already consumed a total of 20,000 dark crystals.
This was really …
Too abnormal!
Moreover, for some reason, Lin Fan had a feeling that the problem was with the biological civilization.
However, now that Lin Hong had gone to other dimensions to track Faern, even he did not have a way to contact him. There was no way to confirm whether it was Garen's doing or not.
The Federation did have a lot of dark crystals in storage. Until now, there were still more than 10 million.
However, if Garen's side or the Sun River Empire really found a way to obtain a large amount of dark crystals, it would still be troublesome.
After all, the Federation did not produce any at the moment, only consumption!
At the same time, in the central region of the universe, inside the imperial palace of the Sun River Empire.
"Your Majesty, we have consumed more than 20,000 dark energy crystals. Logically speaking, the Alliance should have consumed at least 100,000 dark energy crystals, but they don't seem to have any intention of stopping!"
In the meeting room, Harris reported to Amras.
"It doesn't matter. We have three million of them. Do you really think that the Federation has 15 million dark energy crystals?"
"This … I don't think that's possible!"
After thinking for a moment, Harris shook his head and said.
15 million yuan was too much. It was impossible!
"That's it. Since they're willing to accept our attacks, we'll continue to attack them until their reserves are depleted. Then, we'll be able to turn the tables and completely defeat the alliance!"
"I understand, Your Majesty!"
Time flew by.
On the fifth day after the war of attrition of dark energy crystals began …
The Alliance finally wiped out the trillions of battleships that the Sun River Empire had left on the frontlines. The army then started attacking the empire's defense line.
However, because the empire's supplies could still last for a while, and they were all on the defensive, the Alliance army could not break through the situation even with trillions of battleships.
In the blink of an eye, it was the fifteenth day.
Both the Sun River Empire and the Alliance were panicking.
What made Amras panic was that after ten days, he had used 100,000 dark energy crystals, but the Alliance was still going strong.
Logically speaking, they had used at least 500,000 dark energy crystals in the past half a month, right?
It was not that Amras was worried that they did not have enough dark energy crystals. After all, they had only used one-thirtieth of their supply.
The problem was that Gloucester could not hold on for that long. According to the latest report, their remaining supplies could only last for about 20 days.
20 days …
Could he use up all the dark energy crystals in the Alliance in this period of time?
Amlais also had his doubts about this.
Compared to Amras, the Alliance was also panicking.
Both Artrea and Tarovis had no idea how many dark energy crystals Amras had in his hands.
However, Lin Fan was still relatively calm.
Although the amount of dark energy the Sun River Empire had surprised everyone, it was not a big problem to stall them and exhaust their frontline fleet.
The problem at the frontline was not how many dark energy crystals they had, but that Lin Fan would not give them a chance to open the black space channel.
This way, even if they had more dark energy crystals than the Federation, it would still be useless.
Lin Fan was only worried about what would happen after this battle. If the Sun River Empire really had a way to obtain large amounts of dark energy crystals, it would be a huge threat to the Alliance's progress towards the center of the universe in the future, regardless of whether it was the speed at which the Sun River Empire analyzed the data or the speed at which the Alliance was going to advance towards the center of the universe.
Finally, it was the 35th day since the war of attrition began.
No matter how hard Gloucester tried to conserve, it was time to stop.
After all the battleships were resupplied, the entire frontline was empty, whether it was energy or food. However, even after using more than 200,000 dark energy crystals, they still could not open the channel.
On this basis, Gloucester gave the final order.
All the dynasty's fleets immediately launched an all-out attack. After charging into the Alliance's fleet, crash into them when they ran out of energy. If there were too many battleships nearby, blow them up.
In short, even if all the fleets were annihilated here today, they had to tear a piece of flesh from the Alliance so that they could not attack the center of the universe in their best condition!
At the same time, including himself, the dynasty's thirteen peak rank-11 dark energy users in the frontline also attacked with the fleet.
They would do everything they could to fight the Alliance for the last time.
Of course, they had already predicted that the dynasty would not give the Alliance, which was about to be exhausted, so they had also made preparations these days. They did not hold back at all and were all ready to go.
Even the Federation, although they needed to control the dozens of Super Star Clusters that bordered the frontline, had already mobilized all the dark energy users above rank-9 to the frontline, forming a
dark energy user army with tens of thousands of people.
The cruel final battle was about to begin …
