Stellaris from the Automata Era

In n2's high-definition live broadcast, Yan Luo could see their situation clearly.

"N2, you should abandon this outdated fleet, right?" If Yan Luo had been a little nervous before, he was now relaxed. "Send away half of them, and then retreat to the galaxy behind."

"what?"

These strange words made everyone present stand up in shock.

Fight to the death? My lord, this is quite different from your usual style.

However, neither the humanoid nor N2 may have the time to raise questions.

"I hope the other side doesn't suffer too much loss, and preferably still has the courage to continue attacking and advancing."

Yan Luo's intention is to lure the slime into the subsequent galaxies. If the timing can be right, the slime should just encounter the Earth's reinforcements.

By the time the battlefield is over, the decision will be made by the Earth, because by then both quantity and quality will be reversed.

Now it depends on whether the other party will accept the challenge.

Of course, it doesn’t matter even if they don’t accept the attack. Now half of the fleet will be used as the enemy’s burial objects. When Yan Luo’s mechanical fleet is all in place, he will immediately teach these new recruits the fear of war.

P.S. Note: The social system of slimes is highly distorted yet self-contained. Their families, like human friends in games, are highly specialized, and without adequate living conditions, it would be difficult to support them. — A social research report on slimes by a humanoid.

Note 2: Consuming guns and bullets to produce large amounts of meat has the negative cost of population reduction... Don't think about it too much! - by, watching Victoria's mod and thinking about it carefully, I am terrified.

Chapter 264: I think the soft mud is just a broken house.

It was obvious that Yan Luo planned to set a trap to eat up the entire fleet of Slime.

Half of the old mechanical fleet is bait for making nests, while the other half is bait for luring fish.

Of course, based on the combat power we can see at present, we don't have to do this. We can just close our eyes and f2a and wait for the subsequent reinforcements to arrive.

But he had hidden the trump cards of three fleets, and there was no guarantee that the other side also had chips.

Therefore, it is better to be cautious and place the other party deep in your territory to see how to deal with it.

As for whether the slime eats the bait...

They actually ate it.

The massive battleship showdown came to an end in just seven hours, and the commander of the slime team was almost sweating and trembling all over as he finished the finishing work.

Don't get me wrong, it's not about loyalists choosing water while fighting for their country and their people.

It was simply because when the mechanical fleet was attacking in a panic, a new recruit ship seemed to have crashed into its flagship, where it was located.

If there hadn't been another unlucky person who happened to be in a panic on the same route, the pension would probably have been deposited into the family's account.

Didn't this make it doubt at the time whether they could really win by relying on these new recruits?

Now it seems that it is really possible.

Although the commander himself couldn't figure it out at the moment, how could a group of fighters who couldn't even operate the auxiliary fire control system win?

But after seven hours of passionate exchange of fire, the Slime side did achieve a decisive victory at one-tenth the cost.

The enemy has now completely retreated, and compared to the huge scale of the previous stalemate, less than half of the ships have survived.

What a heart-warming victory.

"Are they so weak? It seems we overestimated their strength. The reconnaissance major is indeed a coward. He fired a shot and immediately ran away."

Faced with this kind of victory, they naturally received commendations from the higher-ups after reporting it, but the upper-level slime communications expressed regret when commending the commander.

At the same time, he also took the opportunity to ridicule the reconnaissance team for their previous behavior that showed no military honor.

After all, the top brass of Slime are not fools. Faced with a series of evidence such as videos and recordings, it is difficult for them not to infer the mental activities of the major who was carrying out the mission at that time.

However, since the other party really followed orders well, he didn't say much and gave the reward as usual.

Now I think it was because of its behavior of firing and running away that the slime underestimated the strength of the Earth.

If it knew that the enemy was so weak, it would definitely only send half of its fleet forward, which would result in greater losses for itself.

Once the reasons are thought out, it is called a tentative attack.

But it was too late to say anything.

"Anyway, congratulations, General. Today's battle will be our greatest victory since breaking out of the universe. I believe it will leave a lasting mark in history."

The upper slime was not stingy with its praise, but based on the commander's understanding of the upper level, it always felt that there was something else behind its words.

Sure enough, just a second later, the true nature of the upper layer of slime was revealed.

"General, do you have any thoughts on expanding your territory?"

What the hell is expanding territory!

In fact, the current ooze has a scale of about fifteen star systems. According to the markings on the star map and the scope of reconnaissance, they actually have more uninhabited areas that they have not had time to occupy.

The main reason is that the current development has reached its limit. Whether it is planet construction or the maintenance of frontier space stations, they are all investments with no short-term returns.

So what business is there that is sure to make a lot of money?

Yes, that is the energy coin stained with blood.

Plunder, dominate, and oppress. Instead of squeezing money from their own people, they can actually squeeze money from others.

The only difference is that one is essentially sucking one's own blood, while the other is sucking other people's blood.

One requires you to do it yourself, the other requires you to just reach out.

It is obvious that the current performance of the earth is no longer enough to defeat even the enemy. Instead, they will have to work hard to maintain an undefeated situation and consume the population.

It would be better to divide up the other party’s assets now to feed yourself and make up for the losses.

"Attack, General. Our greatest moment awaits you."

In fact, the commander had somewhat realized that this was an order.

I'm afraid that the conquest policy of the opposing civilization has already become a consensus among the entire upper class of the slime.

No, we shouldn't use the word conquer.

But the cold universe is so dark and dangerous. I think the other party does not have enough ability to protect themselves, so we can only do it reluctantly.

So this is the selfless protection policy of the slime.

I believe the other party should be grateful for this resolution and set up a special Thanksgiving Day, right?

"The Cosmic Dream Fleet will immediately proceed to the next node."

"Then thank you for your hard work."

After a brief greeting, the Slime Commander quickly closed the communication interface.

Next it must advance deep into enemy territory, capturing every inch of ground it can see.

To be honest, after the battle just now, the Slime Commander didn't feel much was wrong.

First of all, as a novice, the slime itself does not have much... or no experience in space warfare.

In this way, we cannot expect how much practical experience the slime has.

Moreover, after winning a great victory, the commanders on the battlefield had already undergone subtle changes in their mentality.

"Then let's go hunt down the remaining enemies first."

Although the slime and the mechanical fleet reached a ceasefire after the battle, the slime troops did not immediately pursue the fleeing troops.

To a large extent, it is because they themselves are mentally exhausted after the high-intensity combat.

Similarly, the ammunition and energy consumed by the fleet also need to be replenished.

It was several hours later when they were ready again.

This period of time may seem short, but it was almost enough to make Yan Luo think that his plan had failed and he could move on to the next stage and directly pull the follow-up in to attack head-on.

Then he saw the information on the improved radar that the Slime Fleet had set off again.

"That's what I was saying. Even though half of them were destroyed, there are still over 3000 warships. How could anyone resist taking advantage of such a big fish?"

As for what the real situation is, observers should not go into it too deeply.

It may be because Yan Luo had already prepared the first three galaxies as buffer zones, so even if there are habitable planets, Yan Luo has not yet developed these galaxies.

The Slime Universe Dream Fleet, which had been chasing all the way, did not see any resource points after advancing, and the asteroid belt was in an undeveloped state.

This may be a different kind of scorched earth strategy, but from a cosmic perspective, the actual effect is not that great.

Because there is no need to occupy various resource points, the slime can go straight to its target, the fleeing mechanical fleet.

This has also invisibly accelerated their pace.

However, when they entered the node of the second galaxy along the hyperspace channel, the slime soon discovered that the mechanical fleet seemed to be ready for battle again.

Looking at the Earth's combat offensive posture, the commander was a little shocked for a moment.

"No, you didn't fight in your prime, and now you only have half of it left. What makes you think you can fight back?"

The commander couldn't help but secretly admire the other party's courage in his heart.

But it's time to put an end to the boring chase.

After all, there may not be much literary talent to explain, but it actually took both sides more than ten days to cross a galaxy.

Any life form that can survive on land should be well aware that the characteristics of life are difficult to change due to the living environment.

Sailing in the dark universe is no different from sailing in a submarine in the deep sea.

This is a mental test for the driver and crew. If they have received professional training, it will be easy. If not, they may fall into hysteria in just a few hours.

This is also the reason why such special personnel are given regular psychological counseling on Earth, and those who can adapt to the space station environment are regarded as new humans.

After all, biological characteristics are there, and being able to adapt is already an evolution beyond the limit.

As for the slime that has just entered the universe, don't expect it to have already pointed out the adaptive evolution of life.

Especially for some new recruits who have only undergone initial training, more than ten days of lonely sailing are enough to push them to the brink of mental explosion.

If we don't find some channels for them to vent their emotions, I'm afraid that the lower-level personnel will soon open fire on their own people.

To be honest...with so many layers of debuffs, it's really hard for the slime to hold on until now.

Even their supreme commander may be a little mentally unstable now, and just wants to finish the chase quickly and find a land planet to buffer.

But it soon discovered that the filming was completed, and the ending was different from what it had imagined.

"The induction is lit up, wait? It's the enemy reinforcements!" The adjutant of the slime flagship shouted loudly, quickly pulling everyone into reality.

In just this instant, the commander immediately realized why the enemy, who was being chased by them before, suddenly had the courage to fight back.

But..does this make sense?

Without any information about the battle between the two sides, the slimes had already figured out the specific strength of the Earth.

It may be a little unrealistic to say that the earth is a broken house that can collapse with a slight kick. It is completely at the level of a paper house.
