Chapter 293 286 Confuse the enemy against Confuse the enemy
Within the desolate and silent Frost River Galaxy, the first wave of Teizene invasion fleet was resting and reorganizing. All the Star Alliance military facilities in the galaxy capable of retaliating had been destroyed by the Teizene. The only things remaining were detection and observation facilities intentionally camouflaged on some minor asteroids.
Su Beisi was gulping down a large chunk of meat, which clearly wasn't the flesh of any domesticated animal but rather from the body of some unknown intelligent being. Ever since the Teizene fleet continued its voyage, it had been impossible to keep a large amount of "food ration" alive.
The loss of three hundred thousand Teizene soldiers was a significant blow to Su Beisi, but it did not knock him down. On the contrary, Su Beisi, who was eating and drinking heartily, was not in a bad mood at all.@@novelbin@@
"How is the fleet preparing?" Su Beisi asked.
The Guard Officer immediately replied, "Preparations are essentially complete. After a round of ammunition management, we can sustain combat for an even longer period."
Su Beisi nodded and said with slight regret, "We are still too severely affected by the supply lines. We lack experience in fighting thousands of light-years away, but this does not mean we cannot win battles."
The Guard Officer quickly complimented, "Your Highness's ingenious strategies will surely lead us to conquer the Danlu Interstellar Cloud."
It was at this moment that a Teizene technician hurried forward to pay his respects.
"Your Highness, we have grasped the latest situation. As you predicted, the Earthlings have organized a large-scale fleet that has assembled in the Centauri Alpha Galaxy, and has now reached the Sirius Galaxy. They have initiated warp speed travel and are estimated to arrive in the Frost River Galaxy in four Teizene days."
(The rotational period of the Teizene Star is slightly shorter than that of Earth's, so four Teizene days amount to a little over three Earth days.)
A fanatical look appeared on Su Beisi's face, and he was brimming with excitement. With a vigorous wave of his hand, he commanded with bursting energy, "All warships, set sail, target Earth!"
The highly militarized and disciplined Teizene, though they did not possess highly automated computing systems and network technologies like Earth civilization, had long formed their effective pattern through a wealth of real combat experience and other technologies.
Under the command of the supreme commander, every Teizene began moving like precision gears, propelling the first wave of the invasion fleet to work like a massive and meticulous machine.
Five enormous warp bubbles enveloped the warships within. This was about the maximum number of warships a warp bubble could carry, which was roughly the same for the Star Alliance, because the material carried by a warp bubble is related to its mass.
As the warp bubbles began to shuttle through the universe, detaching from the fabric of space, the Guard Officer, filled with excitement, flattered Su Beisi, "Your Highness, this war will absolutely be an indelible mark in the military history of Teizene civilization. Whether it is the long-haul raid across thousands of light-years or the way you used your intelligence to deceive the enemy, both are so brilliant.
Those self-righteous Earthlings and Iridium Star people must not have imagined that we had long seen through their attempt to use Harass communication devices to contact us. We Teizene have our own communication style; it's utterly foolish and naive for them to think they could deceive us so easily."
Su Beisi smiled smugly. At first, the Teizene Empire had no suspicions about the initial communications. But later, as Teizene was deploying its operation to attack Earth, it asked "Harass" to provide more intelligence. "Harass," however, kept making excuses and only delivered information of limited value.
Even though the information sent by the other party appeared consistent and credible, Su Beisi was the first to suggest that this intelligence source must have been compromised.
Afterward, Su Beisi advocated for on-site reconnaissance, which led to the incident involving the reconnaissance ship bought from the Borke Civilization breaching the Danlu Interstellar Cloud.
In this event, technology surpassing that of Teizene caught the Earthlings off guard. The reconnaissance ship passed through multiple planetary systems within the Danlu Interstellar Cloud and ultimately drew close to Earth. It was near Earth that the reconnaissance ship gathered more information, and with the intelligence sent back via quantum communication, Su Beisi fully confirmed that the intelligence from "Harass" was entirely false and heavily misleading.
However, the very clever Su Beisi did not reveal after the reconnaissance ship incident that he already knew the Earthlings were posing as Teizene people to contact the Empire. Instead, he continued the charade with the Earthlings, feeding them so-called intelligence step by step. After the Earthlings had verified the intelligence multiple times, they let their guard down.
Once the time came to act, following the explosion set by Lv Zhao, Su Beisi initiated communication immediately, pretending that his fleet had limited supplies and needed rest after the battle. He also falsely claimed that the Shield Sharing needed a cooldown, which lured the Earthlings into the trap, causing them to dispatch a large number of warships.
But how exactly did Su Beisi know the situation inside the Interstellar Cloud?
At the end of the reconnaissance ship incident, just before the Borke reconnaissance ship was destroyed by Earth's defense system, the ship secretly deployed a Borke masquerader reconnaissance scout. This scout was a highly disguised reconnaissance vehicle, and its most remarkable feature was that it could be released while at warp speed. After the reconnaissance ship had emerged from the warp bubble, the scout had already departed and quietly remained hidden within the Danlu Interstellar Cloud.
While the scout couldn't travel faster than light, during the half year it spent in the Danlu Interstellar Cloud, the scout visited many star systems and gathered a wealth of intelligence from the Star Alliance.
The scout was now located in the Sirius Galaxy. As Xu Lanzhou led the second and third Strategic Fleet Groups there and initiated warp speed travel, the Teizene had already grasped this crucial information.
The warp bubbles of the five Teizene fleets showed noticeable speed differences at the start of their journey. The warp bubble containing the Holy Sovereign King Number moved far faster than the other four.
"Earthlings, your affronts to the great Teizene Empire will be repaid in blood and flesh. After I conquer Earth, I will turn your planet into a hunting ground for ten years, allowing Teizene people to hunt and feast at will!" Su Beisi was ruthless, not only toward his enemies but also toward himself.
Naturally, the double warp speed of the Holy Sovereign King Number was a result of the star energy engine. However, unlike the Star Alliance, the Teizene did not create a star energy engine that spared the lives of the Star Warriors. To power such an enormous warp bubble, Su Beisi heartlessly sacrificed as many as ten Star Warriors into the engine, propelling the Holy Sovereign King Number to an extreme speed of 3000 times the speed of light.
His plan was meticulously crafted. The two Strategic Fleet Groups of the Star Alliance consisted of more than four hundred warships. Once they entered warp speed travel through interspace barriers, they could not stop midway, or they might fall into the void within these barriers. They had to complete this journey of more than three days to reach the Frost River Galaxy.

In three days' time, the Holy Sovereign King Number, carrying over two hundred vessels, would also arrive in the Sirius Galaxy. With the leading Star Alliance warships lured out of the Interstellar Cloud, he would be inside it. From the Sirius Galaxy to Earth, Su Beisi needed less than 20 hours. To return to the Interstellar Cloud, the main force of the two Strategic Fleet Groups of the Star Alliance would need 80 hours. This created a perfect tactical time difference, allowing the Teizene to defeat the Star Alliance Universe Navy Fleet in detail and destroy Earth's defensive capabilities!
