Chapter 1259: The Battle Has Not Started Yet

The place Lin Fan pointed to was the Kosa Realm, which was 4 Black Cavity Realms away from the Alliance and 16 Black Cavity Realms away from the location of the Noreya army.

This is a super-large black cavity world, and the others bordering it are small black cavity worlds.

In other words, this is a black cavity world that the Noreya Empire cannot bypass on its march.

Of course, it doesn't mean that it is impossible to bypass it, and if you want to avoid the Kosa Realm, you have to go around at least 5 more Black Chamber Realms, which means that it will take an extra five years.

Lin Fan also concluded that the Noreya Empire would not waste another five years.

Therefore, the Kousha Realm is the best sniping point in Lin Fan's eyes. Otherwise, if the war really breaks out within the alliance's territory like last time, it would be difficult to deploy troops.

After all, they have more than 7,000 legions, and they can even be divided into several groups to attack simultaneously without any fear.

But what about the alliance?

Even if the federal fleet is included, the total number will not exceed 2,000.

If we further disperse our garrisons, we won’t be able to fight.

——

Federal calendar, 1849.

It is two steps away from the Kosa boundary.

The mobile imperial palace of the Noreya Empire.

"Your Majesty, our cross-border scanning device has found traces of a large number of fleets in the Kosha Realm, with the number reaching more than a thousand."

"Based on our comparison of energy characteristics, we are 90% sure that it is that pagan civilization!"

"If we continue marching at the current rate, we will reach the Kosha Realm in two years and engage in battle with them!"

A minister was reporting the latest situation.

Emperor Torreya was looking at the black cavity space map opened by the minister, thinking deeply.

During this process, no one dared to speak, for fear of interrupting their emperor's thoughts.

Until a few minutes later

"Order the fifth, sixth, eighth, and ninth fleets to separate from the main force of the expeditionary force and head to the four realms of Tolan, Liben, Weikang, and Tucker respectively."

"Your Majesty, what are you doing?"

"Aren't these pagans relying on the special position of the Kosa Realm to offset their military disadvantage? If that's the case, let them understand that in the face of absolute strength, any conspiracy or trickery is meaningless!"

Upon hearing this, all the ministers in the room also reacted.

That's right, if the pagans want to offset the disadvantage in military strength between the two sides, the only way they can think of is.

Find a black cavity that the imperial army cannot easily bypass, and then deploy all the troops here. Finally, determine the location of your passage entrance in advance, and deploy defense lines to directly press you inside and attack you.

In response, Torreya was thinking about

Even if you want to play it this way, I will directly divide the army into five groups and deploy them in five black cavity realms bordering Kosa.

Finally, the five armies opened cross-border channels at the same time and attacked at the same time!

You only have more than a thousand legions, but if you bet on one, it is barely enough.

But what if there are five entrances at the same time? How can you block them? Just divide your 1,000-plus troops into five?

So, it seems that you have found a way to suppress my military advantage, but in fact, as long as the operation is reasonable, I can also do the opposite and maximize my own military advantage.

"Your Majesty, I calculated that in order to deploy the four fleet clusters to the corresponding Black Chamber Realms, we need to wait four years before launching an offensive!"

"It doesn't matter. Anyway, it's earlier than the time we expected for the decisive battle. After all, they came out on their own initiative, right?"

Torreya waved his hand without showing any concern.

"Understood, Your Majesty. I'll arrange it right away!"

——

One year later.

Federal calendar year 1850.

Canglong Alliance, front-line command center.

At this moment, Lin Fan was looking at the information he had just received and frowned deeply.

The troops were divided.

And the direction of this division of troops

Is this discovering yourself?

Judging from the performance of Norea's last expedition, there should be no means of cross-border detection.

But now the way of dividing the troops is obviously to surround themselves, and then implement multiple points and cross-border tactics to directly attack the weaknesses in their own military strength.

Otherwise, it is impossible to explain its current troop division.

"Marshal, should we retreat and make plans?"

On the side, Montero, the supreme commander of the alliance fleet, couldn't help but ask after seeing the same information.

After all, if this happens, the alliance army will not only have no advantage if they stay here, but will also be used by the Noreya Empire, which will strangle them and knock them out with one blow.

Therefore, in Montero's opinion, it is better to retreat and take the long-term view.

After all, there are other ways to win this battle. There is no need to take the risk of fighting to the death here.

However, Lin Fan didn't see it that way.

"Montero, if we retreat back to the alliance and let you take command, how confident are you in winning this battle?"

"This... depends on the other side's commander!"

"Tell me about it separately!"

Lin Fan said with interest.

"If the other side's commander is very good, then I have no chance of winning. After all, the detection of hard power is too obvious!"

"But if the enemy commander is very ordinary, then I should have at least a 70% chance of winning this battle!"

"However, considering the enemy's current division of forces, I think the illusion that the commander is incompetent can be abandoned."

At the end, even Montero couldn't help but shake his head.

"That's right. The opposing commander is not a fool. On the contrary, he is very smart and patient. It is basically impossible to win by ordinary means!"

"Therefore, we still need to take a risky move this time!"

"Tell me, if I repeat the tactics from last time, what will be the result?"

Having said that, Lin Fan's mouth corners slightly raised.

Montero was indeed stunned.

The tactics from last time?

Crossing the cross-border channel in reverse?

They have suffered a loss once, so they will definitely leave a large number of troops to deal with the situation this time. There is no possibility of success at all.

Putting aside other things, as long as each of the five armies of the Noreya Empire leaves behind a hundred legions to protect the cross-border device, there will be no way the Federation will be able to capture it within the limited time, right?

unless

unless

Could it be that Marshal Lin Fan wanted to do that?

Montero suddenly thought of something and looked at Lin Fan in shock.

In fact, the possibility he just guessed was too outrageous and exaggerated.

but

If you think about it carefully, although it is a bit outrageous, it is indeed feasible, or it can be said that it is the only feasible way at present.

However, there is also a huge problem here.

That is.
