I, Superman, the Supreme Commander

Chapter 553: Just a Trial and Speculation

"Quick! Sector 1858, stop them!"

The commander barked into the communicator.

The vast space is filled with brilliant flashes, like billions of fireworks lighting up the universe.

From the soles of your feet to the sky, looking up and down, turning around, all directions are filled with this warm and brilliant flashes, like a sea of ​​kaleidoscope lanterns.

That was the brilliant light produced by countless energy weapons shooting and warship explosions.

It completely obscured the light of all the stars in the sky.

Even the sun in the distance seemed a little dim.

If you observe from outside the solar system, you will find that at this moment, the Kuiper Belt surrounding the solar system is filled with tens of billions of starships as densely packed as a nebula, and they are engaged in fierce combat.

One side is mainly purple and black, with a large number of troops, but the performance of their weapons is backward.

One side is mainly composed of bright colors such as silver, blue and red. They are small in number but well-armed. Often one warship will fight against more than a dozen warships of the other side.

The casualties on both sides were disproportionate.

Often dozens of black warships were blown up before one silver warship was destroyed.

"Commander, there are too many of them!"

"The No. 1 formation is wiped out!"

"Damn..."

Battle reports were transmitted back to the United Earth Headquarters and the Combat Command Center like snowflakes.

Thousands of the world's top commanders formulate combat strategies here and remotely command the defense of the solar system.

Although we were well prepared, everything was still so sudden when the enemy appeared.

The Earth's preparation time was still too short. In half a year, the six lines of defense designed by Zhang Hong were actually only half completed, and the three outer lines of defense were only semi-finished products.

Space combat is different from ground combat. It is a three-dimensional space and enemies can attack from any direction.

Unless a "spherical defense line" is constructed, there is no situation where it is necessary to capture the previous line of defense before attacking the earth.

The intelligence that was sent back made the top leaders of the coalition government feel extremely depressed.

The number of the invader fleets far exceeded their expectations. There were trillions of them, and they actually "surrounded" the solar system in a physical sense.

Probably like a dumpling that falls into the dust and rolls a few times, the spherical surface with a diameter of one light year outside the edge of the solar system is densely packed with enemy starships, the number of which is so huge that it is suffocating.

Those who were originally quite confident about the Earth's tens of billions of fleets suddenly fell silent.

It now seems that the number of tens of billions of starships is still too insufficient.

The enemy troops directly crushed us with numbers a hundred, a thousand, or even ten thousand times ours.

The only good news is that the invaders' starships seem to be a whole era behind the Earth Defense Force in terms of performance.

As long as the number gap is not too big, the Earth's fleet can easily defeat them.

You don't even have to use your trump card.

But the situation is still not optimistic.

The commanders are well aware of the saying that "a multitude of ants can kill an elephant", and they don't care about the losses caused by the enemy's numerical advantage. However, the Earth Defense Force has limited supply capabilities and has to be careful in controlling the losses.

"The Kuiper Line is too big. No, we have to withdraw them!"

"I agree! We are now the defenders of the city and we must reduce our forces!"

The command center quickly reached a consensus and ordered the main force of the Kuiper Line fleet to withdraw, leaving only some unmanned warships and inconveniently mobile space fortresses to consume the enemy's manpower.

Under Zhang Hong's design, a total of six defense lines were built in the solar system, from the inside to the outside, they are the Earth-Mars core defense line, the Jupiter defense line, the Saturn defense line, the Uranus defense line, the Neptune defense line and the Kuiper Belt defense line.

Although it is named after a planet, it is not built on a planet. Instead, it is a solid spherical defense line built at the orbital distance of the planet.

No matter from which direction the enemy attacks, we can mobilize the defense in time and not give the enemy a chance to advance directly.

However, due to limited time, only the first three lines of defense were taken down, and the last three lines of defense were still a circular structure, so full coverage could not be achieved.

After discovering that the number of the invading fleet far exceeded expectations, the commander of the Earth side immediately withdrew the troops of the outermost line of defense inward to the orbit of Uranus and directly abandoned the two outermost lines of defense.

Only a few elite troops were retained to guard the two planets as support points, and only cannon fodder troops were left in the rest of the defense line to consume the enemy.

After the three main forces joined together, the Uranus defense line basically completed its spherical deployment, and its combat effectiveness was greatly enhanced.

With the support and depth of the two lines of defense behind Jupiter and Saturn, it is enough to fight a protracted war with the enemy.

Sure enough, after this adjustment, the front line quickly stabilized. The number of starships on the front line was saturated. No matter how large the enemy's number was, they could only keep filling the line. Out of the trillions of fleets, the Earth Defense Force actually had to face less than a hundred billion, and the pressure was greatly reduced.

On the third day after the invader fleet appeared, the two sides held their ground on the Uranus defense line and the battle was unsuccessful.

The commanders on the Earth side did not let down their guard.

"Ms. Ai Li, you still can't contact Mr. Zhang Hong?"

Ellie shook her head.

Commander Long Guo, who was in charge of the overall command of the soldiers, took a deep breath to adjust his state, his expression firm, "It seems that we can't count on external aid for the time being."

"Everyone, let's fight this battle with all our strength and let these damn invaders see how powerful we are!"

"Roar!"

The morale of the Earth warriors is high.

A series of commands and deployments were quickly conveyed, the wartime meeting ended, and General Zhang called the artificial intelligence girl.

"Ms. Ellie, I'm afraid we should prepare to retreat to the Martian defense line. At present, although the enemy is powerful, it seems that they are just testing..."

Zhang Hong had previously given Earth's top leaders a detailed analysis of the invaders' possible military strength.

According to Zhang Hong, the Earth commanders determined that the enemy's current attack was just a cannon fodder test.

General Zhang was also enlightened by the trillions of interstellar battleships used for testing. He had never imagined that a war in the sea of ​​stars would be so outrageous.

If it weren't for Zhang Hong's instillation of the essence of the Warhammer world's human experience in fighting against all kinds of monsters and demons in the galaxy for thousands of years, as well as Zhang Hong's experience in dealing with various enemies and defeating the strong with the weak after saving the world countless times while trapped in the Dreamland, these human military geniuses would have fallen into despair long ago.

Now, the war has just begun and there is still time to fight.

According to Zhang Hong, the invaders came from three different fantasy worlds - regardless of how these fantasy worlds came into being, it is certain that there are at least three completely different armies.

One is a superhero from the American comic fusion universe plus a traditional fleet-style legion.

One is a legion of supernatural monsters from the world of Cthulhu Mythos.

Finally, this is the anti-traditional army from the spoof sci-fi cartoon called "Rick and Morty". This army is also the most difficult to predict, because the imagination of funny cartoons is too big, and no one knows what the mad doctor will bring from his hometown.

However, when the news is beneficial to the Earth, the other party cannot bring those incredible existences from the fantasy world without limit.

Because according to Zhang Hong's judgment, the real world has a great suppression on supernatural powers, although because of the previous invader Crazy Batman's sacrificial activities, a "gap" was opened in the real world, allowing supernatural rules to infiltrate into reality.

But those "concept-blowing" monsters like God and the Creator God are impossible to come into the real world.

Even if they force their way through, they will lose all their powers, their settings will become invalid, and their combat effectiveness may be even lower than that of a soldier.

It is conceivable that the other party cannot use high-end combat power unscrupulously.

There shouldn't be many oversized individuals that can be put into combat.

The Earth Defense Force still has a little hope of victory.

——Of course, all this is based on the premise that Zhang Hong’s speculations are correct.

If the speculation is wrong... the Earth commanders dare not imagine the consequences, nor do they want to think about it.

They are just a group of mortals.

Can't interfere with something that grand.

All they can do is fight their own war to the best of their ability.

A mortal war that belongs to the earthlings themselves!
