Chapter 1262 The Second Black Chamber Holy War (Part 3)

"Speak up, don't play dumb!"

After the hall remained silent for several minutes, Torreya sighed slightly, came back to his senses, and then looked at the ministers below.

"Your Majesty, although we suffered heavy losses, the pagans also made a fatal mistake!"

"Oh? What's wrong?"

"Now the pagan fleet has left the Kosa world. If we ignore their fleet and move forward directly..."

"You mean, we can use the advantages of cross-border technology to directly shake off the infidel fleet and enter their territory?"

"Your Majesty is wise. With the entire pagan army dispatched, their territory should be almost defenseless!"

"madness!!!"

Hearing Torreya's scolding, the minister who had just spoken was instantly stunned.

This is obviously a great idea, how can it be stupid?

"You don't understand, do you?"

"Then let me explain it to you in detail!"

"I ask you, what will the army do after it enters the pagan territory?"

Looking at the minister, Torreya asked.

"Purge the pagans thoroughly, Your Majesty!"

"You also know that it is to completely cleanse the pagans? Then let me ask you again, how long does it take to completely cleanse a black cavity world?"

"Based on the size of the Black Cavity World and the current size of our fleet, this time should be between 2-5 years!"

Without thinking too much, the minister answered directly.

"You also know it will take 2-5 years? You haven't even finished cleaning up one, and the pagan army has already caught up. So you've been working so hard just to kill half, or even less than half, of the Black Chamber World?"

"Besides, if you leave the other side behind, how is that different from cutting off our own supply lines?"

"Or do you think we can take out all the Black Chamber Realms in the Pagan Territory at once without any supplies?"

"Will you tell me about it then?"

Yes, the most important issue here is supplies.

On the surface, it seems that you are very smart, leaving the enemy behind and then going straight to their lair.

But what is the reality?

This is equivalent to allowing others to destroy their supply lines.

Besides, as Torreya said, what's the point of fighting our way into pagan territory now?

Thorough cleaning?

Assuming that each Dark Realm takes 2-5 years, how many Dark Realms can you clear before the Pagans catch up?

So, while cutting off their own supply lines and doing that useless work, they still have to fight against the pagans' main fleet in the end, and they have to fight with their supply lines completely cut off?

Isn't this just digging your own grave?

"Your Majesty, we can leave part of the army to fight against the pagans, and use the other part to march into the pagan territory and start a massive purge!"

At this time, another minister said.

However, Torreya still shook his head.

"If our 7,000 legions were intact, we could do this, but now we have lost 3,180 legions!"

"Tell me, of the remaining 3,000-plus legions, how many will you keep? And how many will you send to cleanse the pagan territories?"

"If you leave 2,000 troops, you may not be able to defeat the pagans. Instead, you will give them a chance to divide and annihilate them. If you leave 3,000 troops, will you be able to completely wipe out their lair with those hundreds of troops?"

Upon hearing this, the minister who spoke was stunned for a moment.

seemingly

That’s indeed true!

Now the Imperial Army only has 3,000-plus legions left, while the pagans have 1,600.

Leave part of the fleet to continue fighting the infidels, and then use the other part of the fleet to directly attack their lair?

It seems very smart on the surface, but in fact, isn't it just giving up one's own military advantage?

If too few troops were left and they were defeated by the pagans, it could lead to the empire's total defeat.

Similarly, if more troops are left behind, there will be fewer troops to cleanse the pagans' lairs.

In a nutshell, the empire’s military strength is no longer sufficient to support such operations!

"Okay, stop talking, you're all useless!"

"Our fleet will set off for the Kosa Realm and will meet up with the five fleets that have already arrived and stay on standby!"

Torreya, who was already a little impatient, gave a direct order.

But many ministers did not understand this order.

Didn’t Your Majesty say before that we cannot allow the pagan fleet to be behind us and destroy our supply lines?

But now, if all the generals gather in Kosa Realm, wouldn’t that mean they have to give up the rear routes?

Isn't this contradictory?

Looking at the expressions of the ministers below, Torreya certainly understood what they were thinking.

Doesn't he know this?

No, he knew very well.

But he also knew that even if he didn't give them any, the other party would still not have any supplies.

Therefore, as long as you firmly occupy the Kosa territory, the initiative will always be in your hands.

Therefore, this is an open conspiracy to force the other party to take the initiative to attack!

Now Torreya has figured it out. He doesn't have to be the one who attacks. What's wrong with being the one who defends?

You know, I can't afford to lose again.

The command center where Lin Fan is located.

"Marshal, through cross-border scanning, we found that the enemy's main force is leaving the original Black Cavity Realm. It is speculated that they should be heading to the Kosha Realm to join the fleets that arrived from the five routes."

"According to our staff's analysis, the Noreya Empire may take advantage of the current situation, ignore us and attack directly into the alliance territory."

Liang Xue said as she looked at the files uploaded to the terminal.

This is what Montero was worried about at the time.

Although the reverse shuttle tactic could directly destroy a large number of Norea’s fleets if it was successful, the alliance army would also lose its advantageous strategic fulcrum.

At this time, if the other side gave up fighting with the main force of the alliance and directly charged into the alliance territory, the consequences would be disastrous.

However, Lin Fan didn't seem to be worried about this.

"It doesn't matter. The other party won't make this move. Even if he does, I have a way!"

"So what about us now?"

"All fleets remain in place and await orders. Let's see how the Noreya Empire will act after the fleets gather together!"

"clear!"

——

Federal calendar year 1855.

More than 3,900 legions of the Noreya Empire successfully gathered in the Kosa Realm.

However, they did not directly attack into the alliance territory as the Alliance Staff or Montero worried.

Rather

So they settled down in the Kosa world.

Tolia was clear in his mind that his military strength was still more than twice that of the enemy, and as long as he did not attack rashly, there was no possibility of defeat.

As for the rest, it depends on who can hold it in longer!

So, the long confrontation

here we go!

However, this confrontation is destined not to last long.

Because the opportunity that Lin Fan needed would not take more than a few years.
