Chapter 345 Star Ocean Game
Whether it is to mobilize troops, create warships, or collect resources, no action can be concealed by the opponent, and it is all carried out on the surface. This is the current situation of the Xingyang confrontation between the two sides.
Therefore, this war can be regarded as a game of chess, because every move is open and honest, or in other words, it has to be open and honest.
But that's all. Except for the situation at a glance, everything is completely different from chess in other aspects.
In chess, the pieces that both sides have are evenly matched.
But here, the fleet owned by the sect headquarters occupies far more resources than the sum of Bloody Purification and Midie's Falcon Group.
In chess, the turn system is used, and both sides take turns to act.
But here, the time spent on each step depends entirely on the speed and efficiency of one party's actions. The faster you act, the more you can take the lead.
The more advanced warships and auxiliary propulses at all costs have once again gained an advantage in this regard.
The enemy's strength advantage will not be weakened at all because of the existence of the Hundred Eyes Demon Lord.
However, various command methods such as strategic mobilization, ambushing, and prediction that defeat the strong will be completely unusable because of the existence of the Hundred Eyes Demon Lord.
If you can choose, Midi would rather not have the Hundred Eyes Demon Lord on both sides.
After all, for the commander, he can maximize his own value in the fog of war.
But now, the reality he has to face is that he has to face a powerful fleet that is several times his own, and then he has to adopt open and upright tactics.
In the eyes of many people, this is almost unsolvable.
Even the "Judge" Marcel rarely showed a wavering expression - in the previous Blood Prison Island defense battle, he used all his strength and used all the tactics that could be used in air combat. What was the result? He still could not resist the enemy's offensive.
In fact, Loz, the lord of the Third Temple, did not command much at all, and he spent most of his time fighting Midi.
With the insight of the Hundred Eyes Demon Lord, the other inner-fighters could easily grasp the entire battlefield and dismantle Marcel's offensive in the absence of the general commander.
This is enough to show that when both sides can only fight head-on, the side with more troops will have a greater advantage, while the side with less troops will continue to slide towards the abyss of failure.
"What should we do now?" Reinhardt asked, his beautiful eyes fixedly looking at Midie standing in front of the huge starry ocean map.
Although the situation was very urgent, the fourth prince's eyes were now filled with excitement, as if he had seen Wiseman of some strange creature.
It is no wonder, because Reinhardt is a commander. Although the appearance of the Hundred-Eyed Demon Lord is a great challenge to "command", only in such a dilemma can the true level of a genius be shown.
Just like the proverb on the Arad continent, a truly good iron will always bloom its sharpest side in the flames.
At this moment, Reinhardt really wanted to know what would Midie Asrex, the most talented commander on the Arad continent, do?
"How to do it?" Midillo pondered and said without hesitation, "First, let's take the command of the fleet completely into your hands. This matter..."
"Let me do it." Reinhardt immediately took over the conversation.
Bloody Purification and the Falcon Group are two forces. Although they have common enemies and have formed an alliance, these are only on the surface, and there are undercurrents inside.
But now, the Blood Purification has been scared by the thunder offensive at the sect headquarters. When Marcel was hesitating, there was no stronger and more convincing person to take over.
On the contrary, Midi's power was at its peak. Not only did he capture eight stingers of warships alone, he also played a key role in the defense of Blood Prison Island.
Although the situation is very bad now, if Midi didn't snatch a Hundred-Eyed Demon Lord, it would not be a problem, but a result of being crushed directly.
Therefore, even if Midi is the savior of blood purification, there is no exaggeration.
If you want to fight against the sect headquarters, the "alliances" merged into a single army and only accepted the leadership of one person will of course be more efficient, more united and powerful. The Falcon Group and Blood Purification happen to be in a state of continuous progress. Instead of taking this opportunity to seize military power, it will not be like Midi.
Reinhardt was prepared for this, and if it were him, he would have done this first.
"I have already sent someone to infiltrate the blood purification. The Rot and Roy brothers of the patrol have a good relationship with us. In addition, Sandur relies on the influence of Saint Avril to restrain him. He has also agreed with those neutral elements that the inheritance of the mind catcher brought from the mind maze should be no problem as long as it is appropriately evenly and get the highest command of the fleet." Reinhardt talked happily.
Midie nodded with satisfaction. It is indeed much easier to save time for a famous general of the level of Reinhardt to serve as an adjutant. At least, it is much easier to use than a guy like Wiseman, who does his own things like "Nightmare Hand".
"In three days, integrate the fleet and then there will be regular combat." Midi turned his sight back to the vast chart.
"That's right, then, how do you fight?" Reinhardt asked impatiently.
"It's very simple to say, that is to bring the enemy into our rhythm." Midie said lightly.
Three days later.
Two fleets rushed out of Blood Prison Island at the same time and moved in two different directions.
These two fleets, led by Midi, are composed of the captured stinger warships and the Falcons’ self-imitated wind and fire warships. Their destination is directed to a mine at the headquarters of the sect thousands of kilometers away.
Another fleet, led by Reinhardt, was mainly composed of a blood-purified fleet, and its destination was a floating island outpost thousands of kilometers away.
While these two fleets attacked, the head of the sect immediately took all the sights.
However, since the two fleets are moving in two completely different directions, they must also make a choice.
Should I go to support mines or support outposts?
Of course, the best choice is to send two fleets to support two areas at the same time.
But the problem is that when the head of the sect planned to do this, he found that there was only one fleet that could arrive in the war zone before the enemy.
Obviously, Midi's attack was not a random test, but a result of careful calculation.
These two locations are equally distanced for Midie's fleet, but for the head of the sect, they are not under the protection of saturated defensive forces.
Moreover, since it is not a military stadium, it is probably impossible to mobilize additional forces to defend.
Force the other party to make a single choice, this is the Midie tactic.
Finally, given the outstanding achievements and threats of Midie himself, the head of the sect sent the fleet to the mine as quickly as possible, and at the same time arranged another fleet located in a faraway area to rush out for the outpost.
As a result, Midi took the Falcon's battleship and left the mine for a round and without a single shot from beginning to end.
However, Reinhardt launched a lightning attack, pouring overwhelming artillery fire onto the outpost that lacked protection.
When the second fleet of the sect arrived at its destination, all you could see was a floating rock.
Even the floating island itself was buried in explosives and then shattered.
After winning the first battle, Midi's emotions did not fluctuate at all, but instead acted as usual and launched an attack again.
Again, this is another offense that forces the opponent to make a choice.
The sect headquarters once again made the wrong choice.
In other words, there is never a correct choice. No matter which side you choose to defend, the other side will obtain the correct intelligence through magic communication and then launch an attack.
After several times, the head of the sect was clearly in a huge advantage in military strength, but was beaten by Midi. Not only could he not organize a decent attack, but he even became in a hurry to defend.
Not only that, since Midi adopted a scorched earth policy, every time he attacked, he would try every means to blow up the floating island directly. Even if it was an indestructible large floating island, he would at least have to go up and destroy it so that the enemy could not rebuild the stronghold in a short time.
In this way, under Midie's saturation attack, the sect headquarters was completely brought into his rhythm.
Midi can choose the time and place of battle, while the head of the sect can only passively defend.
Midi can choose to fight or not, but the sect must send a large number of troops to defend.
Therefore, relying solely on two or three small fleets, Midi dragged down his enemies several times his own, and relying on continuous attacks, invisibly dismantled the opponent's attack, leaving them exhausted.
In fact, if the sect headquarters did not have the insight of the Hundred-Eyed Demon Lord and did not know the movements of Midi's army, they would not be so passive.
According to the general practice, they will undoubtedly gather a large fleet and rush directly to the Blood Prison Island to completely destroy it.
Then he turned around and pounced on Midie's advance base and destroyed it.
By then, if you lose your foothold, Midi and Blood Purification will no longer be able to compete with the sect headquarters and will have to withdraw from Xingyang.
However, it was precisely because they noticed Midi's movements and clearly saw the attacks launched by Midi that they were trapped in the quagmire of infinite defense and could not get out of it.
"Bring opponents into our rhythm."
It was not until this moment that Reinhardt finally understood what Midie did.
Perhaps, everything in the entire Xingyang is under the surveillance of the Hundred Eyes Demon Lord.
However, the great strategy in the heart of a real commander cannot be discovered.
