Miss Witch Doesn't Want to be a Diva-Chapter 1579 - 61: Vermilion and Bao Qing Entwined
"What is Luo Fenghua doing now?" She was more concerned about her.
"Luo Fenghua is currently on ’Jinluo’ in the Qingluo Star Domain, where many starship production lines have been set up, having drafted nearly 3 million technical personnel in recent years."
"3 million, huh, that’s probably the limit of what they can muster in their controlled area." The requirements for technical personnel involved in starship manufacturing are not low.
"She is probably personally overseeing the progress there. With a Songstress stationed, the efficiency will be much higher." Prin speculated.
"Does the intelligence department have any results on their new battleship’s progress?"
"According to our investigations, several years ago they exchanged technology with the Southern Star Region, acquiring a lot of industrial data, and now there are two models of the new battleships being produced."
"The first is the ’Smoke Dragon’-class Battleship, which significantly enhances Phantom capabilities. According to the design, it can deploy 5 accompanying phantoms on its flank during combat. These phantoms look identical to the battleship itself and display various waves, reflections, and dynamic operational statuses that can fool advanced detectors and even withstand low-intensity attacks." 𝚏𝕣𝕖𝚎𝚠𝚎𝚋𝚗𝐨𝐯𝕖𝕝.𝕔𝐨𝕞
"With such Phantom capabilities, in combat, our side’s battleships will have a hard time distinguishing real from fake. We must either evenly distribute firepower or gamble on hitting one in six targets."
"Heh, this battleship must have been designed by Audrey, it’s just like her style. Even if it can buy time, as soon as it opens fire, it will quickly be exposed unless its Phantoms can output the same power as the main body, but that’s obviously impossible." Prin shook her head.
"What’s the next model?"
"The second is the ’Purple Snail’-class Battleship, which excels in long-distance travel. According to the design, they can form a ’Purple Spiral Vortex Array’ to greatly reduce the difficulty of breaking through space, achieving rapid long-range travel."
"According to current intelligence statistics, if five ’Purple Snail’-class Battleships gather, their long-distance superluminal travel speed can rival that of the ’Red Angel’-class."
"You just mentioned long-distance, which means on the battlefield they can’t maneuver flexibly, right?" Prin realized this point.
"Yes, but the ’Purple Spiral Vortex Array’ can also be used on the battlefield to warp space, significantly countering frontal artillery fire."
"Another ostrich tactic, indeed. It can counter the fire, but their own fire will also be affected, or they must turn off the vortex array when firing." Prin shook her head, looking down on their timid style.
"That’s fine. Since they are so happy to be ostriches, let them be ostriches forever." Prin stood up.
"What is the status of the Fifth Fleet, when can it set out again?"
"We have currently dispatched Song Festivals to the Fifth Fleet to aid in psychological construction and counseling, greatly alleviating previous negative emotions. According to logistics predictions, they will be ready in three months to set out again."
"Three months." Prin was somewhat dissatisfied with the speed, but now she knew she couldn’t push them further, otherwise, under pressure, many would hide problems out of fear.
"I’ll give them three months." With that, she turned and left the meeting room.

The situation in the Eastern Federation Star District once again entered a tense state. The ’Fire Lotus - Radiant Star’ factions planned to use this conquest of the Eastern Star Region as the key to boosting morale, rebuilding prestige and deterrence. Under the supervision of members within the factions, all sides were preparing for the upcoming war.
These preparations were not concealed at all, nor could they be concealed. The remnants of forces in the Eastern Star Region, upon receiving the news, were in a state of panic, with frequent internal turmoil. Only the star domains with a few Moon Level Songstresses stationed remained relatively stable.
As time passed day by day, like an invisible countdown, pressure was transmitted from top to bottom to every member of both camps, growing more intense and anxious as the deadline approached.
The ’Fire Lotus - Radiant Star’ factions must use this victory to restore their dominance, and for the remnants of the Three Songstress Alliance, this was also a war for survival.
...
Finally, the three months passed, and the Fifth Fleet slowly set out from the Star Harbor once again. This time, there was no grand departure ceremony, but a stern speech and encouragement instead.
"Victory and death, there are only two choices. This is our destiny as soldiers."
Weeks later, the fleet arrived at the Ink Star Domain on the edge of the Eastern Star Region, an area also controlled by the Three Songstress Alliance.
The majestic red fleet gradually sailed in. Ahead of them was a sparse defense composed of scattered battleships and cruisers, possibly amounting to less than 5% of the Fifth Fleet’s numbers.
"Useless resistance." The commander of the Fifth Fleet spoke with disdain.
"Order the fleet to prepare to open fire."
Upon giving the order, other generals by his side commented, "This enemy contingent is probably just bait to buy time."
"Even if it is, so what. How long can they delay? Continuing eastward leads to the edge of the Milky Way. Where else can they hide?"
The magnificent stream of photons engulfed the sparse fleet in the view, and soon they moved forward again.
Days later, the Fifth Fleet successively conquered the Ink Star Domain, the Charm Star Domain, and the Snow Wave Bird Star Domain until they reached the Qingluo Star Domain.
A blue and purple melding fleet spread out before them, matching the Fifth Fleet in number and size, vast and imposing, carrying a daunting authority.
