The Gatherers were uneasy because the enemy's defenses were far from what they had expected, and the Legions of the Holy Worm State were 'attacking' and distracted by the enemy's strength.

"A total of 58 worlds have fallen, and the enemy's attack has temporarily stopped, what do you think?" The commander-in-chief of the Assault Corps speaks at the meeting.

With the enemy far more formidable than expected, the Strike Legion's top brass realized that the enemy was probably not what they had expected, and had to urgently convene a strategic meeting to reformulate their strategy.

In addition to the commander-in-chief and the two deputy commanders-in-chief of the Raid Legion, the commanders of all fleets of the entire legion and the commanders of the garrison districts participated in this meeting.

"Except for the pilot who survived by luck last time, there is not a single survivor, and the total number of casualties is ...... Number of Lost Forts ......"

The commanders of the garrison districts routinely reported the war losses at the meeting.

At the meeting, there was a question, and this question was a question for everyone in the meeting.

"Is the enemy really Inari? When did Inari's fleet become so powerful? ”

The Inari Huang Kingdom has not fought against them, and the state has had several skirmishes with it over territorial issues.

So what kind of strength Inari's fleet has, the people of the legion have a general idea.

The idea of attacking and killing the legion is very simple, because the deeper you go into the state, the stronger the defense of the space fortress, and the advance speed of the Inari fleet will drop suddenly, on the one hand, it will consume the invading enemy fleet to a certain extent, on the other hand, it is to obtain the enemy's intelligence, and on the other hand, it is to lure out the back hand of the Inari fleet.

In addition, since Inari dares to attack the state, it must have something to rely on, although the state is at war with the other two races on two fronts, it still has spare strength, and this surplus power is specially used to prevent the Inari Huang Kingdom and play a deterrent role.

However, Inari knew that these were still the same and decided to attack, indicating that they were confident that they were capable of dealing with the remnants of the state to deter them, and that they had hidden 'back-hand' that was specially used to deal with the Raider Legion.

All the forces of the Raid Legion are shrinking, and the Space Fortress is responsible for resisting, as was the original plan.

But to the surprise of the Raiders, they never expected that the Space Fortress would be so vulnerable in front of the enemy, and the expected slowdown in advance did not happen, and by the time they reacted, the enemy had already laid down the 58-seat star system of the state.

This is a strategic mistake!

The strategic depth in space is the key factor restricting the enemy's advance, and it has nothing to do with the defensive level of the space fortress, and in the eyes of the enemy facing the legion today, there is no difference at all.

It can even be said that they have never seen an enemy with such a fast advance speed since they came into contact with the military, and they have never heard of it.

The enemy could no longer be allowed to continue to advance - the top brass of the Raider Corps were unanimous on this point, and although it was unknown why the enemy had paused the advance, it would only be a strategic collapse if they continued to let it go.

"Vice Marshal Desen, what do we do next? Need to send the main fleet to the front? "Someone proposed to the lieutenant commander of the corps.

The proposer wanted to build a line of defense to block the enemy's advance as soon as possible in order to save the situation.

"If the main fleet does not confront it first, it is a taboo in military law to mess up its position." Vice Marshal Desen replied.

Judging from the current performance of the enemy, Vice Marshal Desen thinks that it is difficult for the Raider Legion to which he belongs to to do similar things, because in some large space fortresses, there are many ace pilots stationed there.

With this, Vice Marshal Desen judged that the enemy had a force that they did not yet know, and rashly threw the main fleet into a hard confrontation with it, which would definitely suffer a great loss.

Lieutenant Marshal Desen's mind flashed a man, a survivor who had once shouted in front of him to believe him.

"Let me ask you, are the garrisons strictly enforcing measures against hallucinations?"

Adjutant Desen asked the commanders of the garrisons, who had earlier given the garrisons in the various space fortresses how to deal with the illusions.

"Yes, it's all strictly enforced, and every fighter has confirmed that every fighter has taken the medicine that can fix the severe pain of periodic recurrence."

The commanders of the districts replied, and such an answer gave Vice Marshal Desen some thoughts in his heart.

"Isn't it a hallucination?"

The other lieutenant also noticed this and muttered to himself.

"You want to say, what the pilot who reported is telling the truth? A bunch of natives wiped out the main fleet we had originally sent? And then the vanguard fleet was wiped out? "There was a fleet commander who asked the lieutenants at the meeting.

The vast majority of people at the meeting could not accept this kind of speculation, just like someone on the earth heard that after the US military arrived in Africa, it was exterminated by the local African tribes.

I don't really think that there is such a super-powerful African tribe that has wiped out the U.S. military.

Dissenters quickly found rebuttals.

"If you can defeat the main fleet, it is not surprising that you can destroy the vanguard fleet."

“…… It's still hard for me to believe that a group of uncivilized natives can have such a strong fighting force. ”

"It's hard for me to believe it either."

……

There was a lot of discussion at the meeting, and many things have been decided, but on the question of 'who the enemy is', there has been no conclusion for a long time, on the one hand, it is really too contradictory, and there are always people who believe that the enemy is the Inari Huang Kingdom and not some natives, how can the uncivilized natives fight the fleet of the Winning Country, they don't even have mechas.

Finally, a compromise was proposed.

"Why don't you give it a try?"

"Are you trying to ......?"

"A necessary sacrifice."

The twenty vanguard fleets within the Raid Corps received orders from their superiors to rush to the front line and engage the enemy for the first time.

This would have been a normal mission, but some of the details of the mission were very different from the usual - that is, they could retreat at the beginning of the confrontation with the enemy, instead of retreating when the fleet had lost thirty percent of the battle.

Some of the clever people in these vanguard fleets already smelled something unusual.

Such an order would be given, apparently because the superiors believed that the damage caused by the confrontation between the vanguard fleet and the enemy would either survive by chance or be completely annihilated, and there was no possibility of a percentage loss.

These twenty vanguard fleets passed through different gates and took different paths to a certain star system on the frontline battlefield.

In this star system, a group of leaping creatures are planning the resource collection in the star system, as well as the route of the follow-up attack, from some planets under the jurisdiction of the state, the gatherers have obtained the territory map of the state, which is of great help to their follow-up, whether it is defensive or offensive strategy.
