Chapter 91 The much-anticipated duel
What is the concept of three to four hundred kilometers in length and width?
In the Earth Age, Hainan Island is 740 kilometers wide from east to west and 470 kilometers wide from north to south.
A super air force base equivalent to half the area of Hainan Island.
Although a large part of this area is still not fully completed, the completed part alone is enough to accommodate hundreds of thousands or even millions of space fighters.
The construction of this hangar extends outward, extending ten kilometers to the left and right, which can increase the extremely large area, and the number of space fighters that can be accommodated can be increased geometrically.
"You?"
"As you can see, this is an air force base under construction. When fully completed, it can accommodate hundreds of millions of space fighters. During the war, I can directly open the exit in space to achieve an effect similar to a super carrier. .”
"There are 50,000 space fighters here now, but it is probably not enough to face the coming war. I need more space fighters."
"No problem, I'll communicate."
"By the way, is 80,000 enough?"
"I can only spend 400 billion."
"The team will raise another 500 billion and purchase another 100,000 aircraft to be incorporated into the legion's first fleet."
"Okay."
Li Qing was not polite.
When a legion is first established, it will usually focus on building the first fleet to cope with various challenges. After the legion develops, other fleets will be built one after another.
Their actions are not hidden and cannot be hidden. Anyone can guess it as long as they see the purchase information from them in the regional channel and combine it with the current situation.
In addition, Huihuang and Aquarius have also entered the market. The two teams with deep pockets have directly purchased some ships that may be sold on the market at a higher price than themselves. They have an absolute advantage in ship capacity as long as they can prevent them from reinforcing. .
At the same time, all players near the entire outpost gradually learned that the two teams of Glory and Aquarius would continue to suppress the newly promoted legion Jialan. I don’t know how many players talked about it with interest, and many players who wanted to join the legion decided to Let’s wait and see to see which side wins.
Most players are not optimistic about Jialan, after all, the difference in strength is too big.
Even after the black market heard about it, the multi-galaxy gaming company behind it opened a handicap.
Li Qing took a look and found out that the Huihuang and Aquarius teams would pay 1.2 for each win, the Jialan team would pay 8 for each victory, and 20 for a draw.
Moreover, the odds were widening with the passage of time in terms of the strength of both sides, until Yu Yuefei, the commander of the Jialan Army, officially issued a letter of challenge to the two teams of Brilliance and Aquarius, agreeing to join the Expeditionary Force and Aquarius one week later in the Outpost Galaxy. It reached its peak with a decisive battle witnessed by many teams.
The letter of war stipulated that if Huihuang and Aquarius were defeated, not only would they have to withdraw from the Galan Galaxy and return the occupied Galan Star Castle and many territories, but they would also each have to pay a defeat compensation of up to two trillion star yuan within the agreed time.
Correspondingly, if Jialan is defeated, the occupied Jialan Galaxy and Star Castle will naturally belong to these two teams. How to divide them is their business, and they will also have to pay up to three trillion star yuan in defeat compensation and compensation.
It can be said that this battle is directly related to the weakening of the three teams. Once defeated, the consequences will be very serious.
Because of this, the influence of this duel is getting bigger and bigger, and the handicap funds are increasing. By the time the market is about to be closed, the accumulated betting money is as high as more than 20 trillion.
The amount was too large, enough for the gaming company to have some ideas, so the Expeditionary Force teamed up with the gaming company to take over the deal to ensure fairness and notarization without interference from off-site factors.
At the same time, in order to ensure that the impact would not get out of control, the market was closed after Huihuang and Aquarius officially issued a letter of challenge to prevent the families behind the two teams from getting involved.
Final Odds——
Brilliance and Aquarius win 0.3 for 1, which means you can earn 30% in addition to the principal.
Jialan's winning odds are 14 to 1. If the weak can defeat the strong opponent, he can earn 1400% in addition to the principal.
The draw remains unchanged, still 20 to 1.
Most players are not optimistic about the Jialan team. After all, the difference in strength between the two sides is too big. This is not a game that can be turned around by a good commander.
But there are also many players who buy Jialan Shengli, not because they have confidence in them, but just with a gambler's mentality. There are always people who want to take a chance.
To be honest, if it weren't for the handicap restriction of super large bets to buy Brilliance and Aquarius to win, the odds would be even more exaggerated.
Li Qing was no exception. He spent all his remaining 29.3 billion star yuan to buy Jialan Win. After purchasing battleships and supplies, many members of the team pooled together tens of billions of star yuan to buy Jialan Win.
If you win, you can recover a wave of blood, but if you lose, your economy will collapse on the spot.
According to the unwritten rules, after the closure, both sides will be supervised by the expeditionary force. All fleets that need to go to war will be transferred to outposts. During this period, no additional warships will be added, and no other support will be accepted. Both sides will agree before going to war. The personnel and fleet size must be reported to the expeditionary force who is also the referee for supervision.
In other words, a feud between several teams has now become a duel under the spotlight.
If you fail under the spotlight, not only will you lose everything, but you will definitely suffer heavy losses. Not only will a large number of warships be scrapped, but the team's prestige will also plummet. If you dare not say that you will be eliminated on the spot in this competition, its competitiveness will definitely be greatly weakened.
The winner will naturally gain great prestige and be able to step on the opponent's corpse and leap forward.
Seven days passed quickly. Under the supervision of the expeditionary force, the fleets of both sides slowly left the anchorage and headed towards a starry sky that had already been divided into a battlefield.
In order to be absolutely fair and just, the starry sky is far away from the orbit of the planet, and no natural celestial body affects the battle. The two sides can only fight head-on with absolute strength. Players who want to watch the battle are not allowed to sit on the frigate, and can only approach the battlefield with non-combat aircraft to avoid interference. duel.
To be honest, this is a disadvantage for Jialan. Most of the battles in which the weak defeat the strong take advantage of off-field factors. It is very rare and difficult to defeat the weak in a head-on battle.
But since it's a fair duel, that's all.
“There are so many less places in Jialan!”
A player is sitting on the seat of an aircraft, and the light screen in front of him displays a virtual projection of the fleets and combat members of both sides. From the projection, the difference in the number of warships between the two sides can be clearly seen.
"Fortunately, I bought the brilliant side to win."
He smiled and clicked on the glorious side to check the fleet information.
Suddenly another player sitting next to him said:
"Huh? How come the commander-in-chief submitted by Jialan is not the army commander, but a deputy army commander?"
"Let me see."
"Really, who is Li Qing? Why is it not the commander of the army but the commander?"
"I found it. The structure of the Jialan Army shows that the army commander Yu Yuefei is the chief administrative officer. This person named Li Qing is the second largest shareholder of Jialan, the deputy army commander and the military chief."
"No way. I remember that Yu Yuefei not only has the innate talent of purple command, but she is also a psychic. Now her psychic ability has ascended. If such a powerful talent is not the commander-in-chief, how can you let this person be the commander-in-chief?"
"Maybe he has stronger abilities?"
"Unlikely"
But although the tone was uncertain, I actually believed it in my heart.
Such an important duel cannot be trivial. Since this person who has never heard of it before is the commander-in-chief, he must be more suitable.
More than one person saw the command list Jialan had just submitted. Gu Shenzhou checked it immediately after both parties submitted it, and then gave the information to other Crimson core members on the aircraft, saying:
"It is indeed him. I want to see why he sneaked into the Shatta V galaxy before."
The other crimson core next to him looked at it and smiled and said:
"Don't you think that with the current strength gap between the two sides, Jialan can win?"
He pointed at the projection and said:
"Jialan's combat strength includes a total of 24 battleships, 136 cruisers, 347 destroyers, and 1,650 frigates."
"Looking at the glorious battle force, there are a total of 76 battleships, 310 cruisers, 540 destroyers, and 3,800 frigates."
"Aquarius's combat strength includes a total of 82 battleships, 360 cruisers, 520 destroyers, and 4,100 frigates."
"The combined strength gap is more than five times. As long as the expeditionary force does not go astray, how can you win?"
Gu Chenzhou was silent. To be honest, he couldn't see how he could win in this situation, unless Li Qing also had a top-notch relic similar to Silent Embers in his hands.
But this possibility is really unlikely. If it were to have such a top-notch treasure, it would have become famous long ago, and the family behind it would definitely give its full support, instead of remaining unknown until now.
Of course, Li Qing will definitely become famous after this battle, regardless of victory or defeat.
The fleets of both sides entered slowly. Li Chenhao, the leader of the brilliant team and the military commander-in-chief, sent his communication to the entire fleet and said loudly:
"Brothers, today's battle is about my glorious prestige. Although we have the advantage, we cannot be careless. You and the Aquarius team will cooperate with each other and do your best to defeat Jialan."
Similarly, on another battleship, Qi Yunfei, leader of the Aquarius team and military commander-in-chief, also announced pre-war mobilization.
In the bridge of a battleship, Li Qing did not sit on the command chair, but stood in the center of the empty bridge, surrounded by a circle of projections. He looked around at the Jialan core projections and said in a deep voice:
"There is no need to worry about today's battle. You can just follow the orders later."
After speaking, he turned back to the command seat and sat down, leaving everyone looking at each other. Zhang Ruoyang touched his head and smiled:
"Commander, why don't you encourage us?"
Wang Yanqing showed no pre-war worries on his face, he laughed and said:
"No need to encourage, just applaud later."
Duan Qian didn’t know where he got a video and said while playing it:
"Everyone, hurry up and learn. You may need it later."
Deng Wu was dumbfounded as he watched them fight and imitate the master's clapping movements in the video. He touched his head and felt a lot less nervous without realizing it.
Before the last operation, he didn't know about the existence of Servant of Light Li Yuan. At this time, he couldn't understand why no one was worried at all.
After hesitating for a long time, he quietly chatted with Yu Yuefei, and the answer he got was that he would know after a while.
On the command seat, Li Qing opened the communication and revealed Ding Youran's charming face. She clenched her fists and encouraged:
"Come on, I believe you can win!"
He smiled and said:
"Of course I will win."
Closed the communication and received another message from Yu Yuefei:
"The top brass of the expeditionary force are paying attention to you and must win."
He replied:
"I will."
Then Yu Yueyao also sent a message:
"My fortune and life are in your hands. If we lose, we will all go bankrupt!"
He smiled slightly and didn't respond.
"It's about to begin."
The date set by the expeditionary force for the start of the duel was 2 p.m. standard time. When the hands slowly reached that point, everyone cheered up and looked at the battlefield.
"Boom!"
The crisp bell rang. Li Qing stretched out his hand and the light door opened. Li Yuan, the servant of light, walked out and saluted him. He nodded and said:
"You can command 24 battleships, 136 cruisers, 347 destroyers and 1,650 frigates, as well as a total of 230,000 space fighters. Try to ensure the survival of the main battleships. You can lose other battleships and space battleships at will."
Li Yuan nodded:
"Your will is my will!"
This was the bottom line Li Qing gave him. As long as the battleship didn't sink, it didn't matter even if all the other battleships were destroyed.
Among many battleships, battleships are the most rare. If you lose one, it may be difficult to replace it for a long time.
Although cruisers are also large battleships, they are far less difficult to obtain than battleships, let alone destroyers and below. They are completely cannon fodder and are easy to obtain as long as you have money.
Especially frigates, these cannon fodder teams can pile up tens of thousands of them in a short time if they are willing.
However, tens of thousands of frigates will not greatly improve the overall strength of the team, because the loss of such small ships is too great, and a lot of them will be sunk in any battle.
The fleets of both sides slowly approached according to the standard battle formation, and gradually expanded their formations during the approach. From the perspective of outsiders, the formation of the Jialan team suddenly deformed at a certain period, and then quickly became normal again.
After communicating with each other, the brilliant and Aquarius on the other side approached each other simultaneously, one on the left and the other on the right.
To outsiders, the fleets of Glory and Aquarius looked like a big lobster opening its two huge pincers to grab an oncoming crayfish. The size difference was huge.
The Servant of Light didn't use any fancy tactics, and just went straight up to meet them. Brilliance and Aquarius, who had the absolute advantage in strength, naturally didn't waste any time. The distance between the two sides quickly approached, and the hearts of many spectators were also raised.
On the edge of the battlefield, on the only battleship, many senior leaders of the expeditionary force were also watching the battle in person.
The top decision-making level of the expeditionary force is composed of a commander-in-chief and two deputy commanders-in-chief, as well as a chief of general staff, a deputy chief of general staff, a chief of general operations, and two chiefs of operations, a total of eight people.
In addition to the commander-in-chief, the chief of general staff and a chief of operations are also members of the Yu family. Three of the eight top decision-makers belong to the Yu family, and most of the others are also on good terms with the Yu family.
In fact, the war chief of the Yu family, who was the first to know about this, did not agree with Jialan and Huihuang's duel with Aquarius at first. The gap on paper was too big.
It was only after Yu Yuefei agreed and informed Li Qing's situation that they agreed.
So at this time, they came here to watch the battle in person, not just because of Jialan, but mainly to see what the command ability of the Servant of Light was like. (End of chapter)
