Chapter 537 Cease-Fire Agreement
It has been almost a month since the Clem portal was destroyed. During this month, the Clem people did not give up, but continued to fight a tug-of-war with the Empire.
Both sides continued to send fleets to fight a decisive battle, and they would not stop until all the warships of one side were destroyed.
The two most powerful civilizations in the galaxy were betting that the other side would be defeated first.
The manufacture of warships in the cosmic era not only consumes a lot of resources, but also takes a very long time.
For a civilization without material transmission and printing technology like the Empire, it takes five to ten times longer to build a warship than the Empire.
Unknowingly, the Clem Empire fell behind the Empire by a small step, but at the same time, the star fields controlled by the Clem Empire were all colonized by themselves.
All the civilizations encountered in the colonization have been wiped out by them. The 8% of the territory of the Milky Way they occupy is not comparable to the 18% occupied by the Empire.
The Sith Empire occupies less than 5% of the territory, and the rest of the territory is occupied by the member states of the Galactic Alliance. There is no way. There are too many star systems in the Milky Way, and the population and facilities of the empire are far from enough to support the occupation of so much territory in a short time.
Therefore, the Sith Empire and the Clem Empire have their own advantages and disadvantages, and the war potential of both sides is actually not much different.
However, just when Li Mingze thought that the war would continue indefinitely, the Clem Empire suddenly retracted its defense line.
They just gave up a lot of territory and retreated to the rear.
"What happened, why did they retreat?" Qiuyue and Monica looked at the hologram in some confusion.
"Maybe, the little surprise we gave them has reached maturity." Li Mingze sneered.
The growth time of the hellhound is exactly one month. Now there should be many more hellhounds in the capital of the Clem Empire.
Their move to retract the defense line shows that their capital has encountered big troubles. They plan to give up the attack and switch to defense until the threat to the capital is lifted.
At this time, the Clem Empire was indeed in panic as Li Mingze expected.
Just yesterday, thirty hellhounds suddenly appeared in major cities on the Clem Empire's ring world.
These hellhounds frantically destroyed the facilities in the city, devoured people's lives wantonly and gave birth to new hellhounds.
Because the attack came too suddenly, the warships of the Clem Empire were still in orbit and had no time to support.
In addition, the places where the hellhounds were active were major cities, and their orbital weapons could not be used at all.
People who could live in the capital ring world were either rich or noble, and they were not people that these soldiers could offend. Whoever dared to order the city to be razed, the next day this person's relatives and friends might be sent to the guillotine for treason.
Therefore, the Clem Empire was furious. It was neither possible to fight nor to watch. Its ground forces were no match for the opponent, and it could only wait for the warships in orbit to arrive.
Fortunately, the space army of the Clem Empire did not let them down. One warship after another fell from the sky, covering the hellhounds that were destroying everywhere with tractor beams.
One hellhound after another was lifted into the air by the warships, and they were powerless even if they waved their limbs.
But even so, these hellhounds have done their best. They have laid up to 600 eggs before being caught.
These 600 eggs have already gone underground. At some point in the future, these hellhounds will appear in these cities again.
The Clem battleship dragged the hellhounds into space. They wanted to study these hellhounds to find the weaknesses of this biological weapon, which is obviously the secret weapon of the Sith Empire.
Otherwise, the Clem Empire will not be able to gain any advantage in the ground war with the Sith Empire.
Once facing this kind of creature, without the support of the battleship, it is simply sending soldiers to die!
"Sir, we have detected that there are up to 600 unknown vibrations moving under our city. I suspect that they may be the eggs of these creatures." In the meeting room of the Clem Empire military, a seismologist handed the information to the officers.
"It is very likely that these vibrations are very similar to the 30 unknown vibrations we found a month ago, and this time there happened to be 30 monsters."
"That is to say, if the invasion breaks out again next time, we will be attacked by 600 monsters at the same time." An officer frowned and said.
"If we let these 600 monsters attack the city, there is no doubt that everyone here will be sent to a military court by the parliament."
"You must know which big shots live in the ring world." An officer suddenly spoke.
"We must eliminate all these creatures. Regardless of whether it is related to our official positions, we should eliminate these monsters for the people of the empire." A person sitting at the head of the conference table suddenly raised his hand and said.
The conference room suddenly became quiet, and everyone nodded in agreement.
"Go arrange for the ambassador to sign a ceasefire agreement with the Sith Empire, saying that both sides need to prepare materials for a decisive battle, a decisive battle that gambles on the fate of the country." The person at the head waved his hand and disappeared.
A few days later, Li Mingze received the ceasefire agreement submitted by the ambassador of the Clem Empire.
The two sides agreed to have a decisive battle in two years. During these two years, no military conflict should break out between the two sides, and the outcome will be decided in a battle in two years.
"What do you think, Tianyi?" Li Mingze turned to Tianyi and asked.
"Your Majesty, after my calculations, we should agree to them."
"First, even if we take the opportunity to attack them, our military strength does not have any advantage, but will stimulate the war sentiment in their country."
"Second, our development speed is far beyond their Clem Empire. As long as we are given two years, our human factory will be able to produce 200 billion new humans."
"In two years, we can colonize 4,000 star systems and double the number of existing fleets under the condition of full-speed fleet production."
"At the same time, our super-standard fleet will also arrive at the nearest battlefield. Once our dreadnoughts and Titans are put into the war, the scales of victory will tilt towards us."
"So, we should agree to their proposal, and we will have a decisive battle in two years." Tianyi explained in an affirmative tone.
"Very good, listen to you, we agree to their ceasefire agreement." Li Mingze nodded.
"Also, once the agreement is signed, we will immediately start building a defense line around the area of the Clem Empire. I want to ensure that the war in two years will be foolproof!" Li Mingze's eyes were full of determination, and the empire was invincible!
Next are some chapters about the Earth. If you don't want to read them, please skip to Chapter 555. There are not many urban plots. It's not a melodrama. It's to introduce some new forces later.
