Staring at the porthole for a long time, Arsha finally turned his head back.

"Kecha Koat...... No, what about the Destroyer?"

"Completely unresponsive and invisible on the surface...... Same as in the past. But several reconnaissance detachments are missing. Apparently they are still there. However, the suppression of fire and sporadic offensives against our side have completely stopped. In any case, you can't be careless. Until now, we have not been able to fully understand the relationship between the Destroyer and the Kecha Goat. But apparently, Kecha Goat is dead, and neither will the Destroyer. ”

This is nonsense, all research has shown that the Destroyer is a separate creature - although they are creatures created by Kecha Goat, their survival is not dependent on external forces. It's unclear how Kecha Goyat controlled them. Maybe it's a certain amount of memory when it is made.

However, after the death of Kecha Goat, the Destroyer's calm display was truly unexpected. Although they did not attack again, they were clearly well organized and ready for battle. This forced the Stygian Moon to not dare to act rashly, let alone retreat under the prying eyes of the enemy. Of course, a partial retreat has already taken place. The precious warlocks have largely withdrawn. But it will be difficult for the rest of the troops to retreat.

In the unlikely event of an attack...... In the current situation, it could turn into a catastrophic rout. On top of that, since the Warlocks are gone, there is nothing anyone can do to save the day. And the fate of these commanders, even if they use any means of transportation to escape in time, they have only one way left: to escape to Huiyue's side.

Like a retreat on Earth, the rearguard is the tail of a lizard, tolerated in a moment of crisis.

"Kecha Koat...... I know so much about our situation. He sighed. The other party has been planning for many years, and has already taken targeted countermeasures. The Floating Fortress, which has always been regarded as the crystallization of science and technology and the backbone of this world's combat power, will not benefit at all in front of Kecha Goat. If someone is technically targeted, no matter how good a commander or how good a manipulator is, it doesn't matter.

But the upper layers of the Stygian Moon don't think so.

Normally, this can be understood as an attempt by the upper echelons to shirk responsibility (which is also common). But the current situation ......

The moment of equilibrium has arrived, and the power of the warlock will shrink dramatically, and many things will become very sensitive. If Arsha was to understand for himself, it meant that the Lunatics were already suspicious. Because for a long time to come, the power of the warlocks will be greatly reduced, and the voice of ordinary people will be greatly strengthened. The people of this world have long understood that if the rule of the warlock can be overthrown, then the moment of balance is undoubtedly the best opportunity. It can even be said that it is the only chance. Because during this time, the chance of a new Warlock being born will be greatly reduced, and the number of Warlocks will be greatly reduced. So while they have to share power, their suspicion will also be greatly strengthened.

It is a common saying that the humblest sorcerer is better than the wisest mortal, and it has never been written in books or on stone tablets. But it is deeply engraved in the hearts of many people.

"How is the Radiant Moon going to get through the Destroyer's area of control?"

"Ah, it is said that Huiyue sent a floating fortress here, and the original intention was to send an envoy to negotiate with Kaicha Goat, but because of this, I found that Kaicha Goat's ability to grasp the area under his control is far from as strong as he imagined. It is said that there is no trace of the Destroyer's activities at all. For the time being, we can only tentatively guess that Kecha Goyat is just hoarding heavy troops on the border of the Line of Control, and it is quite empty inside. This surprise attack on Kecha Goyat seemed to prove this as well, and it was not blocked by the enemy too strongly along the way. ”

"Aren't they afraid of being attacked? After all, it's dangerous. ”

"In Lu Wu's situation, he should be willing to gamble, and it's worth his gamble, isn't it?"

"That's right," Arsha muttered, "if you start a head-to-head fight, one-on-one, can you win?"

"Victory is no doubt. ”

"Don't you want an ordinary victory, not just to repel them, to drive them away, but to shoot them down?"

"It's very difficult. After all, it is also a floating fortress, although our side has a double advantage in quality and personnel, if the other side starts a battle, it will flee...... There's no good way to stop him here. And in case the Destroyer is alarmed, both floating fortresses will probably be finished. Not only that, but if the Destroyer takes the initiative to attack our side first based on the hostile relationship in the past, Lu Wu may even retreat with his whole body, but our side will not be able to escape. ”

"If it's a trap, it's a scam from beginning to end, and all Lu Wu wants is to launch an attack when I am taken by surprise......"

"That's completely impossible. Even if we assume at the worst, it doesn't matter if we get the first shot. Because there is a difference in strength between the two sides. In a normal duel, the first move is very important. But if that's the case, even if we take the first blow, we will have time to fight back. The energy power of Lu Wu's main gun is estimated to be only 90 percent of ours. This means that for every nine shots, we get an extra chance to attack. This can be a fatal flaw. ”

"So, let's make a hypothesis, if you are Lu Wu, how can you win in this situation?"

"The only chance is people. If we can find ways to bring in a group of the best operation and command personnel, we can make use of the superiority in the quality of personnel to offset the disadvantage in the performance of the floating fortress in a regular engagement. For example, if the damage can be evenly distributed through operational skills, that is, the positions of each attack are scattered in different areas of the floating fortress, the ability to resist strikes can be greatly enhanced, and there are even extreme cases where dozens of main guns can be used to maintain combat power. Similarly, if you increase the hit rate of the main gun, concentrate all the artillery fire on one point of the opponent...... Even if the nano shield is the most concentrated and the armor is the thickest, theoretically as long as it is hit by the three-shot main gun, it can produce a penetrating effect. So a slight difference in performance can be done in this way, and even if you win, it is possible. Let me remind you, Your Excellency, Lu Wu actually let his own legion take control of the Floating Fortress...... This is completely counterintuitive, and it makes me feel that there is fraud in it. ”

"The bottom line is that it's extremely difficult to prevent. Because now the Floating Fortress is indeed a group of newcomers who don't know anything, but it only takes half a day, or even half a day, and it can be replaced with a group of old birds. As long as the secrecy is done well, even the Rangers who infiltrate it may be misled. ”

……

"The most common way to fight a floating fortress is through artillery battles. The red coat stood on it and introduced. Beside him, there was a projection showing the scene of a battle, two floating fortresses facing each other, circling, and blazing energy cutting through the space. "Victory or defeat depends on the performance and operation of the Floating Fortress. Our Floating Fortress is the most common and common type of six-grid standard system module, which does not protrude in all aspects, but has no obvious shortcomings. And the floating fortress on the side of the Stygian Moon happens to be of the same type as us, and it is also six blocks. ”

Now Lu Wu already knows that the "grid" is the number of standard system modules equipped with the Floating Fortress. Of course, the more "grids", the better, but due to the influence of energy, volume, etc., it cannot be expanded indefinitely. Eight squares is generally the limit. Six-block Floating Fortresses are the most common and common type. This is because a floating fortress with such a structure is the most cost-effective. But if you don't consider the cost performance, one-to-one, it is obvious that eight grids have much advantages over six grids.

"It should be noted that heads-up and formation combat are two different things, and when fighting in formation, those specialized floating fortresses are very useful. Put those with strong defense and weak firepower in the front line, and put those with strong firepower but weak defense in the rear to release firepower...... It will have the effect that one plus one is greater than two. In the case of heads-up, this kind of weakness is easy to target. Considering the deterrence of Kecha Goat...... Therefore, although there is no further information, it can be estimated that the Floating Fortress of the Stygian Moon is the same as our basic structure. Simply put, it's a heads-up between floating fortresses of the same type. On the surface, it seems to be evenly matched, but ......"

"Actually, we don't even have the slightest chance of winning!" Redcoat turned his head and looked at everyone behind him.

The others, including Lu Wu, listened carefully as students listening to the teacher's lecture.

This is something that cannot be helped, he is the only one of them who has the qualifications of the commander of the floating fortress - although the red coat can't produce any documents to prove this, but this is obviously not a lie - and he has not only the qualifications of the commander of the fortress, but has almost all the qualifications, including the commander of the gun, the chief of maintenance, the administrator of the antimatter power furnace, etc., and has actual combat experience.

Although Lu Wu still couldn't understand how difficult it was, he still didn't know how hard it was.

"The quality of the personnel is so poor...... Although I understand that such accusations are unfair, after all, we are all ground forces and do not have the necessary skills and experience. Until now, it was still necessary for the maintenance personnel to give the necessary guidance before they could be reluctantly operated...... No, it should be said that in fact, it is not possible to operate it at this time, and it can only be operated by the automatic system inside the floating fortress. However, in actual combat, once hit, strong energy interference will have a great impact on the automatic system, and partial paralysis is the norm and must rely on manual operation. In addition, if the number of hits is slightly higher, the automatic repair ability will reach its peak, and manual damage management will begin...... These are common sense and necessary abilities. But we don't have the capabilities. So everyone should be able to understand that once the war starts, there will be more evil and less luck. Even running away is a problem. ”

Lu Wu had also learned all about the Floating Fortress with the master before. They even had mock battles together (although he was always the one who was abused). He once thought that his level was not bad, but after pulling it out, he realized that the little knowledge he had mastered was simply pediatric. The red coat is much better at this.

"So if there is an engagement, a limited number of rounds of normal artillery battles, we will be beaten back to square one. So if it's engagement, I'd suggest another, less common form of fighting: broadside combat!"

On Earth, especially in the era and early days of cold weapons, broadside warfare was a very important and common form of combat for warships at sea. Simply put, two warships are close together, and sailors (or naval soldiers) engage in hand-to-hand combat on board. Destroying all enemy personnel is victory. The victor not only wins, but also captures the enemy's ships.

However, since the weapons on Earth were upgraded to the cannon age, at least Lu Wu can't remember any examples of broadside battles worth mentioning. In the era when missiles and airplanes became the norm, let alone engaging in broadside battles, it was useless to shoot at close range.

I don't understand at all that the Floating Fortress actually has a way of engaging in broadside battles. The technology content of this thing is obviously higher than that of the battleships or aircraft carriers of the earth.
