Chapter 1289: The Empire's Offensive Tactics

Seville's strategy was simple and brutal.

If we attack directly through a single channel, we will be blocked at the entrance and even if we have a huge advantage in military strength, we will not be able to expand in a short time.

In that case, I will divide it into a thousand points and attack simultaneously, using only 80 or 90 legions at each attack point.

In this way, the Imperial Fleet can fully deploy its forces even at the entrance of the passage.

And what about the pagans?

On average, only 8 legions can be deployed at each passage for defense.

I have to say that this is a very effective tactic specifically used for counter-channel defense warfare.

This is equivalent to maximizing one's own military advantage while minimizing the enemy's terrain advantage.

However, there is a problem here.

That is.

What if during this process, the pagans launch another anti-crossing operation?

After all, there are more than a thousand attack points dispersed, which means that in the Okang Realm, the Empire also needs to open a thousand cross-border channels at different locations, and also needs to divide the defense fleet into a thousand parts.

This is a bit far-fetched. What if the pagans really launch an anti-crossing operation by concentrating their forces?

How to defend?

In the end, weren't their cross-border devices destroyed one by one, and more than 90,000 legions were all exiled?

After all, the latest cross-border technology demonstrated by the pagans can complete a cross-border voyage in just eight months, right?

Speaking of which, before becoming emperor, Oryx was the supreme commander of the Empire's First Fleet Cluster. He had very good military skills in this area and immediately thought of the major loopholes in this tactic.

However, after hearing Oryx's question, Sivir remained confident.

"Your Majesty, have you forgotten the tactics used by those pagans before?"

"Tactics that the infidels once used, you mean."

"Yes, Your Majesty, fleet simulation!"

Nodding, Sylvie said.

Fleet simulation tactics are not difficult. In fact, every warship is equipped with a device with this special function. As long as it is thrown out of the ship and activated, it can highly imitate the credit of the warship to deceive the opponent's scan.

Previously, Lian Amon had used this method in his first battle with the Noreya Empire.

"Your Majesty, if we send the fleet into the channel and release enough devices to simulate the fleet, the other side will think that our fleet has not actually set out and is still in the Ocon Realm."

hiss.

Hearing this, Oryx suddenly understood.

That's right, just like the first time the heretics fought the Empire, they had already entered the cross-border channel, but they released enough simulation devices to make the Empire think that their fleet was still there.

This method

feasible!

——

Three months later.

"Still no movement over there?"

"Yes, they only opened a thousand cross-border channels and deployed fleets at the entrances of those channels. But half a year has passed, and they have no intention of attacking at all. It's just that one thing is very strange."

Liang Xue nodded and replied.

"What's strange about that?"

"In recent months, the warships of the Norre Empire deployed at the entrance of the Gangtong Passage have not taken any action at all!"

"Is there something wrong with this?"

"Marshal, when I say no action, I mean that there is no sign of movement in the battles. Not even the transport boats were found."

At this time, Li Yan understood what Liang Xue meant by "no signs of movement".

It's strange indeed.

There are more than 90,000 legions, and in nearly half a year, not a single warship has moved, not even to adjust its position.

What’s even more exaggerated is that even if Lin Fan can accept that your warship did not move, no traffic has appeared. What does this mean?

It doesn't look normal anyway, okay?

Looking at the federal fleet, although there is no large fleet movement or rotation, there are still some warships flying around.

As for the transport boats, there are even more of them, flying everywhere, it’s so fun.

Therefore, the current situation in the Okan world is obviously very abnormal.

Moreover, Lin Fan always felt that this situation seemed familiar.

In the next moment.

"So that's how it is. The commander of the Noreya Empire really has mastered my previous tactics to perfection. Even I was almost fooled!"

"Liang Xue, summon the highest commanders of all civilizations and enter the virtual operations room immediately. I want to arrange combat missions!"

After understanding the other party's plan, Lin Fan immediately gave the order.

"Yes, Marshal!"

——

Ten minutes later.

Alliance Virtual War Room.

"Everyone, according to our latest analysis, the army of the Noreya Empire will arrive here in half a year at the earliest!"

After seeing everyone present, Lin Fan spoke directly.

But these words made everyone look puzzled.

"Marshal, isn't the fleet of the Noreya Empire still standing on the opposite side?"

"Yes, their cross-border technology will take a year, so half a year should be impossible!"

"I have the same question. Could it be that the Noreya Empire has mastered a new cross-border technology?"

When Lin Fan finished speaking, the military leaders below were stunned for a moment, and then they began to speak one by one, full of confusion.

Only Montero lowered his head slightly at this moment, and no one knew what he was thinking.

"Montero, what does Marshal Lin Fan mean?"

At this time, Valeri also asked softly.

"Your Majesty, if you take Marshal Lin Fan's words as a premise and think about it in reverse, you should be able to get the answer."

"Taking Marshal Lin Fan's words as a premise, are you saying that the army of the Noreya Empire will arrive in half a year?"

"Yes, that's right!"

Montero said with a slight nod.

Seeing this, Valeri also started thinking.

The premise is that the army of the Noreya Empire will arrive in half a year.

So, based on this premise, we can infer that the Noreya Empire has mastered new cross-border technology and can cross the black cavity wall to reach the Xiluo Realm in just half a year?

No, no, this is too simple. Even if this is true, Marshal Lin Fan would not be able to know it. After all, the Noreya Empire has never demonstrated this technology.

Then there must be some other reason.

Other reasons.

"Um?"

After suddenly thinking of something, Valeri's face suddenly changed, and then he started to operate on his terminal.

Soon, he retrieved the scan results of the Okan Realm that had been made public by the Federation in the past few months.

And compared them.

"This is."

"Yes, Your Majesty. The army of the Noreya Empire is probably no longer in the Okon Realm. Instead, it entered the cross-border channel half a year ago and came here. What is in the Okon Realm now should be just some simple baits used to simulate the fleet!"

Montero smiled bitterly and said.
