I, Superman, the Supreme Commander

Chapter 285: Battle Plan The Fierce Battle Begins

Hope the stars are in orbit.

Hope, the flagship of the Hope Legion, is also the first [Hope-class] mothership built in the Hope Galaxy.

In fact, all twelve [Hope-class] motherships were built by Zhang Hong himself. The technology used to build these huge motherships exceeded the industrial and technological capabilities of the Hope Galaxy.

It is 150 kilometers long, 45 kilometers wide and 55 kilometers high, a typical rectangular imperial battleship structure.

It is equipped with a star-destroying [Doomsday Main Gun], twenty-four [Judgement Day] light spears, forty-eight kilometer-class macro cannons, 128 vertical launch torpedo units, and hundreds of other large and small defensive turrets.

There are more than 100,000 carrier-based aircraft of various types, which can be deployed to block the airspace around the mother ship like a swarm of bees.

Commander-in-Chief Kratos Lubu sits on the command deck. The central holographic projection is a model of the star region surrounding the Hope Galaxy. This is also the wartime operations meeting room.

The Great Sage Clark Kent stood nearby, and the other thirty supreme commanders of the Legion of Hope attended the meeting either on-site or via remote projection.

There was only one topic for the meeting.

How to fight the next war?

"You are all one family, so I won't waste my words."

Clark, the supreme leader designated by Zhang Hong, spoke first: "Let me first clarify the goal of this war. Our goal is to minimize casualties, especially mortal casualties, while protecting the Hope Galaxy Base Camp."

"I know that the lives of soldiers are more valuable, but everyone, please don't forget Zhang Hong's expectations of us."

"We are here to protect humanity!"

Although the people present looked different, they were all "avatars" created by Zhang Hong using his own personality template and memory. Some words did not need much explanation, as they could all understand each other's thoughts.

After Clark set the tone, Kratos continued: "Let me tell you my judgment."

"Although the Undead Fleet has joined us, our situation is still not optimistic."

"Based on the current intelligence and the Zerg's actions, they are likely to adopt the simplest and crudest strategy and overwhelm us with their absolute military superiority at all costs."

"The million-strong fleet currently heading towards the Hope Galaxy is merely the vanguard of the Zerg."

"After the other Zerg fleets have occupied the surrounding galaxies, they will inevitably turn around and concentrate all their forces on the Hope Galaxy."

"When millions of Zerg fleets attack together, I'm afraid we won't be able to hold on..."

"And we must pay special attention to the fact that the Zerg will not be so foolish as to attack us from the outer galaxies. Their navigation technology can directly appear at any location in the galaxy and launch an attack on any of our planets..."

Zhang Beihai of the First Legion thought for a moment and said, "We can't fight the Zerg head-on, at least not at the beginning."

"Yes, we must find a way to weaken the Zerg's military advantage!"

Other legion commanders also expressed their opinions.

Then a heated discussion broke out.

Although they are all Zhang Hong's clones, they have different ways of thinking. Zhang Hong deliberately created differences so that the clones can better brainstorm.

"I have an idea."

When everyone was at a loss for ideas, the great sage came up with a plan.

"I think the Zerg army came here because of Zhang Hong..."

The Supreme Commanders were thoughtful. Indeed, the Zerg never fight a battle without benefit.

Compared with the core areas of the empire, the Ghoul Star Region has no advantages in terms of population or resources. As for technology, the Zerg have no use for it, and generally go where there are more people.

The scale of the army mobilized by the Zerg this time is far greater than any previous invasion.

It is obvious that he is determined to obtain the Hope Galaxy.

Apart from the variable Zhang Hong, I really can't think of anything else that could arouse such great interest in the Zerg.

This makes sense. It is possible that Zhang Hongling's invading Zerg troops lost contact with the Hive Mind at that time, and this special shielding ability attracted the attention of the Great Devourer.

So He came with a large army to find a place to fight.

Of course, these are all speculations by the supreme commanders.

The Great Sage continued: "So, I think we can create a bait to attract the Zerg army."

"Then we can take advantage of the Zerg army gathering and destroy them in large numbers by surprise."

"That's a good idea." Kratos thought about it and immediately agreed.

And added: "In addition to false targets, we can also use a large population to make the bait more attractive."

Clark's idea opened everyone's mind.

The supreme commanders spoke freely, racked their brains, and threw out all the plans they could think of, no matter how outrageous or not.

Then after some heated debate and rigorous argumentation.

The overall strategy for fighting the Tyranids has finally been finalized.

After the meeting, it is hoped that the entire Legion will immediately begin frequent mobilizations.

Fuel tanks are full, ammunition is loaded, warships are on standby, and billions of troops are on edge, ready to fight at any time.

The ten expeditionary forces left the Hope Galaxy silently, and no one knew where they went.

Responsible for guarding the Hope Galaxy Base Camp is the reserve army led by Commander-in-Chief Kratos himself.

Although it is a reserve force, its strength is not weaker than that of the expeditionary corps except that it has fewer warships.

The troops used the same equipment.

The reserve corps has less than 10,000 warships, which is less than an expeditionary corps.

However, there are two Hope-class motherships and the two war planets of Makaria and Cerberus. When rounded off, the space defense force is no worse than that of the entire expeditionary corps.

The Necron fleet also disappeared without a trace, and no one knew where it had gone.

The detection and early warning department keeps a close eye on the space detection system every second, ready to sound the intrusion alarm at any time.

Citizens packed their valuables, memorized the locations of various air-raid shelters, and were prepared to enter underground shelters at any time.

It was in this extremely agonizing wait that the storm was about to come.

On this day, accompanied by the violent flickering of stars, the Zerg army finally arrived!

"Enemy attack! Sound the alarm!"

The early warning department sounded the war alarm immediately.

The busy citizens on the planet immediately dropped their work and rushed to the underground shelters with their families as quickly as possible.

The ground defense system, space defense system, and battleship formation, all weapon systems were immediately put into standby mode, aimed at outer space, and ready to launch at any time.

No flash, no special effects.

The space just twisted a little, and huge monsters like dense mountain peaks emerged from the void and covered the entire galaxy.

The detection radar of the Hope mothership suddenly turned bright red.

There were so many Zerg warships that the warships that were supposed to appear as light spots overlapped each other and filled the gaps on the screen.

The result is that we hope a large red spot will suddenly appear in the galaxy.

"The Zerg fleet has been discovered, numbering 1,375,799!"

The monitoring supervisor yelled.

He was sweating and his face was flushed.

"Fire!"

Kratos gave the order to attack without any hesitation.

Launch an attack while the Zerg fleet has just completed the jump and has not yet fully recovered its combat power.

The anti-aircraft guns on the planet, the main guns and torpedoes on the star rings and battleships, and the turrets on the war planet all fired at enemy ships within range.

The Zerg warships closest to several planets were immediately hit by a devastating blow.

Thousands of Zerg warships were instantly destroyed after a barrage of bullets.
