It only took three hours to complete the resupply mission for Zhao Chen's more than one hundred combat Interstellar Warship.

However, if the Imperial Army's logistics department knew about this resupply efficiency, their jaws would surely drop!

Ten T3 interstellar supply ships resupplying the Xiaolong Fleet, which has nearly thirty T3 Interstellar Warships and seventy to eighty t2 star battleships, only took three hours?

This resupply efficiency is several times that of the T3 interstellar supply ships currently in service in the Starlight Empire!

On the battlefield, this kind of logistical resupply efficiency often reflects a kind of combat power.

Assuming both sides have the same number and combat power of Interstellar Warship, but the opponent's interstellar supply ship can complete the resupply mission faster than yours.

That means that within the same amount of time, the opponent's Interstellar Warship can provide more firepower output!

Naturally, the scales of victory on this battlefield will tip towards one side.

During these three hours, Zhao Chen was also contemplating where to go next on the battlefield.

He glanced at the three side missions.

【Side Mission One: Defense of SP118 Planet Battle

Side Mission Two: Morton Star System Zerg Battle

Side Mission Three: Sapphire Star System Third Planet Rescue Battle (Completed)】

Of the three side missions, Zhao Chen had already completed one.

There were still two options left.

Zhao Chen began to inquire about the information regarding these two battle locations.

First was SP118 Planet.

SP118 Planet is located in one of the Star System with the most severe insectoid plague right now; although this planet has not completely fallen, judging from the intelligence returned,

it would be quite difficult to defend this planet.

Zhao Chen then looked at the other location: Morton Star System Zerg Battle.

"Strange?"

Zhao Chen frowned as he looked at the data in front of him.

This was Zerg disaster data shared by the North Wind Governor across the entire Star Region, but according to the intelligence shown above: the Morton Star System has only had three Level 2 Universe Insectoid Nests and less than ten Level 1 Universe Insectoid Nests appear so far.

Initially, it did cause a lot of chaos in the Morton Star System.

But now, under the suppression of the Lord Fleet and a small Imperial Army Fleet, it has basically calmed down, with only some cleanup work remaining.

By now, all these Cosmic Insectoid Hives have also disappeared.

Everything seemed very normal.

But Zhao Chen felt that something was wrong, because the side missions issued by the system would definitely not be this simple.

Although he had now completed the Sapphire Third Planet side mission, that was because Zhao Chen acted boldly, directly 'borrowing' a large number of private Interstellar Transport Ships.

If Zhao Chen hadn't taken this step, he would not have been able to safely evacuate the people of Sapphire Third Planet in such a short period of time.

One must know that at present,

there are still half of the Zerg Fleet in the Sapphire Star System; Zhao Chen's Xiaolong Fleet had only delayed them before and could not completely annihilate these Zerg Fleet.

So, this side mission still carried considerable risk.

But looking at the battle data for the Morton Star System, it was a very simple battle.

The entire Morton Star System only deployed one corps-level Imperial Army Fleet and two thousand Lord Fleet, which managed to control the Zerg Fleet in that Star System.

This was completely insufficient for the system to issue it as a'side mission'.

It was as if a t1 interstellar battleship was suddenly displayed in an exhibition full of T3 Interstellar Warships.

Don't you think it's strange?

"Reporting, Commander, all our combat Interstellar Warship have completed their resupply mission. At the same time, the strategic resources loaded on the ten T3 interstellar supply ships can still resupply the entire fleet up to two times," Lilith reported.

This is the benefit of carrying an interstellar supply ship with you.

Zhao Chen's Xiaolong Fleet was fully revived again!

But Zhao Chen was not in the mood to be happy about this; his mind was filled with thoughts of the Morton Star System.

He was uneasy.

"Lilith, pull up all the data for the Morton Star System for me," Zhao Chen said seriously.

Although Lilith didn't know why Commander was so interested in this Morton Star System, she quickly retrieved the relevant data.

Zhao Chen looked at the data in front of him, searching for useful information.

The Lord of the Morton Star System was an Earl, and this Earl owned three Star System territories; the Morton Star System was his most important Star System.

The Morton Star System also ranked among the top five in terms of resource richness in the North Wind Star Sector, belonging to a resource-type Star System, with multiple mining areas within the Star System.

Currently, 30% of the raw material output in the North Wind Star Sector comes from the Morton Star System.

The Earl Lord of the Morton Star System also built the largest raw material extraction and refining related basic industry in the North Wind Star Sector within the Morton Star System.

It can be said that if anything went wrong with the Morton Star System, it would be equivalent to severing an arm of the North Wind Star Sector.

Zhao Chen immediately had the idea of notifying the North Wind Governor.

But he quickly suppressed it.

Nothing had happened in the Morton Star System yet, and if he went to notify the North Wind Governor, he would definitely wonder how he got this information.

Moreover, he had no idea what would happen in the North Wind Star Sector.

Zhao Chen held his head.

He was now facing a dilemma and a choice.

How to deal with this impending disaster?

"Commander?" Lilith looked at Zhao Chen; she didn't understand why, with such a good situation in front of them, Commander was so troubled.

The Morton Star System must not be lost; Zhao Chen was well aware of the saying that if the lips are gone, the teeth will be cold.

Although rescuing the Morton Star System would not bring Zhao Chen much direct benefit, if something happened to the Morton Star System, it would cause a series of chain reactions in the North Wind Star Sector.

But this news could not be notified to the North Wind Governor in advance.

Zhao Chen raised his hand and brought up the current battle situation of the entire North Wind Star Sector, especially around the Morton Star System.

"Lilith, help me calculate. If the Morton Star System experienced the most severe disaster, how much military force could the North Wind Star Sector deploy to the Morton Star System in the shortest possible time?" Zhao Chen looked at Lilith seriously.

Morton Star System?

Although she didn't know why Commander was so concerned about this Morton Star System, Lilith still did her job and began to calculate.

Soon, she came up with a string of numbers.

"If the disaster that erupts in the Morton Star System is severe enough,

in the most urgent situation, the closest Empire Army 12th Legion and about three thousand Lord Fleet can rush to any area of the battlefield within the Morton Star System within five hours!

Within ten hours, the Imperial Army 19th Legion, the Imperial Army 22nd Legion, and the North Wind Star Sector Governor's Legion can all provide support to the Morton Star System.

Because the entire North Wind Star Sector is currently in a state of war, fleet deployment will be much easier compared to when it first started.

The only problem is that this deployment would completely disregard their original combat missions, which means abandoning the Zerg Fleet they were originally dealing with!" Lilith.

"If we want to take care of both, how many Interstellar Warship can be deployed?" Zhao Chen asked again.

Lilith immediately gave a number this time: "Within five hours, one thousand Imperial Army Interstellar Warship, two thousand Lord Fleet.

Within ten hours, two thousand Imperial Army Interstellar Warship, three thousand Lord Fleet, and two thousand Governor's Fleet!"

Ten thousand Interstellar Warship!

This is far from enough...

Zhao Chen pondered for a moment and made a decision.
