In Tang Dingyuan's description, an incredible war picture slowly unfolded in front of Li Yao.
The White Star Sword's "junk fleet" was put into the battlefield in the middle of the "Sky Ring War".
Of course, it was not the main force in frontal battles, but the escort fleet responsible for protecting the supply line.
The guard mission in the first half year was performed carelessly and without success, and it was not clear how much command ability the White Star Sword had left after it went crazy and its cultivation level plummeted.
However, during a very large-scale strategic material transportation mission jointly carried out by four escort fleets, they were attacked by the main force of the Tianhuan fleet.
This was a raid that the Tianhuan people carefully planned for half a year, and completely deceived all the eyes and ears of the federal base camp.
The four weak escort fleets put together temporarily were no match for Tianhuan's main fleet.
They fought fiercely for several days and ended in the annihilation of the entire army.
At least, that's what the headquarters of the Federation Expeditionary Force thought at the time!
However, in the next six months, there was vague and very strange news coming from the rear of the Tianhuan people.
It is said that a "ghost fleet" composed of the ghosts of the federal army's dead appeared in the rear of the Tianhuan people.
All the fleets were riddled with holes, in tatters, and could not see the slightest bit of power in the "ghost fleet."
Boat".
The ghost fleet is elusive, erratic, harassing everywhere, hit and run, and disappear without a trace as soon as it runs away.
Its combat style is both like a real ghost and like the star that once ravaged the flying star world more than a hundred years ago.
Pirate fleet!
The size of the ghost fleet was not large, and its firepower was not strong.
It did not cause a fatal blow to the Tianhuan people, but it was like a buzzing mosquito, flying around the heads of the Tianhuan people.
People feel dizzy and upset.
The Tianhuan people are determined to get rid of this "mosquito", but no matter how many troops are mobilized, they can't catch it; just ignore it, it will take a bite out of the weakest part of the Tianhuan world and suck a pipe.
Blood.
It wasn't until the ghost fleet had been operating deep in the Sky Ring Realm for half a year that the Federation Expeditionary Force headquarters finally figured out that it turned out to be the junk fleet of the White Star Sword!
In the raid half a year ago, almost all the four escort fleets of the federal army were defeated, especially the six flagships of the other three fleets were all blown up, leaving them in a chaotic situation without a leader.
At the critical moment, it was the White Star Sword who came out to turn the tide and led the remaining defeated soldiers to retreat.
Before retreating, he also detonated a large amount of ammunition and crystals that were originally intended to be sent to the front line, forming a brilliant interception line.
Afterwards, he did not retreat towards the base camp of the expeditionary force.
Instead, he led this group of defeated soldiers and unexpectedly penetrated into the hinterland of the Tianhuan people!
No one, no matter the Tianhuan Army or the Federal Army, expected that he would lead a group of ragtag people who had just been defeated and whose morale was extremely low, and go deep into the hinterland of the Tianhuan people alone.
In fact, after the "Sky Ring War", an investigation of many officers who were affiliated with several other escort fleets at that time revealed that even they did not know about White Star Sword's crazy plan.
They were all deceived by the White Star Sword.
"Intelligence shows that our retreat has been completely blocked by the Tianhuan people.
Another Tianhuan fleet is waiting to make dumplings on our retreat route.
We have no choice but to move forward temporarily until we get rid of the Tianhuan fleet.
Find a way to go home later!”
This is what Bai Xingjian said to these officers when the battle was at its fiercest.
At that time, the commanders and chiefs of staff of the other three escort fleets were all killed in action.
The officers who could take over their duties were also stunned by the sudden attack, frightened to death, and completely at a loss.
Bai Xingjian was the commander with the highest military rank and position among the survivors.
He naturally took over the highest command of the four remaining soldiers and issued the order to "detour home".
No one knew that when Bai Xingjian said these four words, the word "go home" was not at all in his crazy mind.
The "detour home" order was actually implemented two years later.
At that time, this ordinary star sea fleet, which had never been able to independently cruise and operate for more than a year, had already acted like an excellent deep space fleet, carrying out various harassment, sneak attacks, plundering, and Sabotage the mission.
Post-war statistics show that in just two years, they sank and plundered a total of 1,925 transport ships and merchant ships of various types in Tianhuan Realm, with a total registered tonnage of an astonishing 38.55 million tons. !
Not to mention, their raids on various resource planets, star sea fortresses, floating starry sky docks and star torches controlled by the Sky Ring people.
Not to mention, when he finally decided to go home, the White Star Sword accurately grasped the opportunity for the decisive battle between the main force of the Sky Ring Fleet and the main force of the Federation Expeditionary Force, that is, the Liaoyuan Fleet, and successfully implemented the "decapitation tactic" in a disguised raid. , captured the flagship "Flawless Glory" of the Tianhuan Army's fifth fleet and the fleet chief of staff with the rank of lieutenant general.

The White Star Sword replaced the gun with a cannon, and drove the "Flawless Glory" in a swaggering and gorgeous return.
That was the highest-ranking enemy soldier ever captured alive by the Federal Army in the entire war.
Of course, according to the Liaoyuan Fleet, it was White Star Sword who despicably "stole" their starships and prisoners of war from behind while they were fighting fiercely at the front.
Bai Xingjian didn't care about the criticism of the Liaoyuan Fleet, and even said boldly at the press conference to warmly welcome their return: "Actually, there was a chance to capture a fleet commander alive, but after thinking about it, it is better to capture a 'chief of staff' and come back. interesting."
The conversation was directed at Bai Kaixin, who had performed well in the Tianhuan War and had outstanding military exploits.
He had just been promoted to Chief of Staff of the Liaoyuan Fleet.
It seemed that there was really some grudge between Bai Xingjian and Bai Kaixin that could never be resolved.
After this battle, the main force of the Tianhuan fleet failed to recover, and the war came to an end, ending with the merger of the Tianhuan world into the Star Star Federation.
However, the war hero Bai Xingjian, who was still in glory not long ago, was sent to a military court.
He faces two charges.
First, after the military investigation team interviewed many other fleet officers who were not originally affiliated with him, and conducted a detailed study of the battle in which the four escort fleets were attacked in the past, they found that there was nothing waiting for an ambush in that battle.
Their Sky Ring Fleet!
In other words, they could have withdrawn to the base camp of the expeditionary force safely and securely.
There was no need to take the risk of going deep behind enemy lines alone.
The White Star Sword had not received any orders and was not qualified to command this remnant and defeated general to make such a crazy move!
In 99% of cases, such an action is not only an act of dying in vain, but may even be suspected of "leading troops to surrender to the enemy"!
Bai Xingjian's response to this was: "You guys know nothing.
If it were someone else, like Bai Kaixin who took the command half-heartedly, it would be an act that would lead to death.
But since I am in charge, I will definitely be able to control the people in Tianhuan."
Behind the scenes, everything is going crazy!
At that time, all the elite of Tianhuan's main fleet had just plundered a large amount of our supplies, and they were happily cleaning the battlefield.
The defense line behind was extremely weak!
This opportunity cannot be missed, and it will never come back.
If we don't take this opportunity to sneak in quietly, When will it be more?”
The second accusation was even more astonishing.
The military court found that during the two-year guerrilla war behind enemy lines, Bai Xing Sword, after plundering and capturing enemy starships, did not inform the base camp of the expeditionary force.
Officer Shaotianhuan was released and enriched into his own team, completely regardless of whether these people had committed any unforgivable crimes.
Even after the war, he tried every means to cover up these people, tampered with their identities, and tried to get away with it!
Bai Xingjian pleaded guilty to the charge.
"That's what war is like."
Bai Xingjian said, "Do you pigs know how to fight?"
Even if he is shrouded in the aura of a "war hero", once these two charges are established, the best outcome waiting for him seems to be forced retirement, and the "junk fleet" he built will fall apart.
Jin Xinyue stepped in at this moment.
Jin Xinyue is an ambitious woman with an extremely strong desire for power.
In recent decades, as her wings have grown, she has not concealed her ambition to become the Speaker of the Federation and lead the entire Star Federation.
If you want to become the Speaker of the Federation, it is not enough to rely on the support of the major sects in the core world.
You must also find strong allies or subordinates in the military.
The military was Jin Xinyue's weak area.
After all, she is from the demon clan.
Because of the war between the Blood Demon Realm and the Tianyuan Realm a hundred years ago, the Blood Demon Realm "conditionally surrendered" and voluntarily gave up a large part of its armed forces.
Her influence in the federal army has been very weak for a hundred years. .
The situation is different for Jin Xinyue's rival Ding Lingdang.
The Great Wilderness War Institute where Ding Lingdang was born is originally closely related to the "Old Federation Army".
Ding Lingdang's "Patriot Front" also has a large number of members who are federal soldiers or Military dependents, the federal army is almost Ding Lingdang's home field.
As for the Liaoyuan Fleet, this is the most elite ace army in the Federation.

When it was established, it had only one purpose to attack the empire!
In the changes of a century, the Liaoyuan Fleet has always stayed out of various factional struggles, adhered to neutrality, and firmly grasped the principle of "soldiers not interfering in politics."
Jin Xinyue could not penetrate into the ground forces of the New Federation Army based on the "Old Federation Army", nor could she intervene in the affairs of the Liaoyuan Fleet.
When she had nowhere to say anything to the military, a figure like the White Star Sword emerged.
"Weird", didn't the two parties hit it off immediately?
Jin Xinyue mobilized the power of the Skyfire Organization, the Federal Development Department and the leaders of various sects in the core world to mediate and help Bai Xingjian retain his "junk fleet" and the position of fleet commander.
After some operations, he even gave "White Star Sword" The empty frame of the "Independent Deep Space Fleet" has theoretically raised the level of the "Garbage Fleet" to a level that is on par with the "Liaoyuan Fleet", giving it almost unlimited autonomy, which is equivalent to what was said in ancient times as "opening a mansion".
"Tooth, recruit troops and buy horses".
In this way, in the past thirty years, Jin Xinyue spent countless resources on Bai Xingjian, tried every means to obtain a large number of advanced starships, battle shuttles and crystal armors, and recruited masters from all over the world, step by step, the original The "junk fleet" has been built into the "Great White Fleet" that is one of the best among the motley crews in the federal army, except for the Liaoyuan Fleet!
