Whether it is the deployment of troops, the manufacture of warships, or the collection of resources, no action can conceal the opponent, all of them are carried out on the surface, this is the current situation of the two sides of the star-ocean confrontation.

Therefore, this war can be seen as a game of chess, because every move is above board, or rather, it has to be above board.

But that's all, except for the fact that the situation is clear at a glance, everything else is very different from chess.

In chess, both sides have evenly matched pieces.

But here, the Sect Headquarters has a fleet that occupies far more resources than the Bloody Purification and Midi's Falcon Regiment combined.

In chess, a turn-based system is used, with both players taking turns.

But here, the time taken for each step depends entirely on the speed and efficiency of one party's action, and the faster you act, the more you can take the lead.

And the more advanced warships and auxiliary thrusters at any cost gave the sect another advantage in this regard.

The enemy's strength advantage will not be weakened in any way by the presence of the Hundred-Eyed Demon Lord.

And all kinds of command methods from strategic mobilization, ambush, prediction, etc., which defeat the strong with the weak, will be completely unusable due to the existence of the Hundred-Eyed Demon Lord.

If given a choice, Midi would rather not have the Hundred-Eyed Lord on either side.

After all, for commanders, in the fog of war, they can maximize their own value.

But now, he has to face the reality that he has to face a powerful fleet several times his own, and then he has to adopt an open and honest method of warfare.

In the eyes of many, this is almost inexplicable.

Even Marcel, the "Inquisitor", showed a rare wavering look - in the previous defensive battle of Bloody Hell Island, he had used all his skills and used all the tactics that could be used in air combat, but the result was still unable to resist the enemy's attack.

In fact, the Third Temple Master Loz didn't command much at all, and spent most of his time fighting Midi.

With the Hundred-Eyed Demon Lord's insight alone, the rest of the Mind Flayers were able to easily grasp the entire battlefield and disrupt Marcel's offensive in the absence of the commander-in-chief.

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 weaker forces will continue to slide towards the abyss of defeat.

"What shall we do now?" Reinhardt asked, looking at Midi standing in front of the huge map of the stars with beautiful eyes.

Although the situation was very urgent, the eyes of the fourth prince were shining with excitement at this moment, almost like Wiseman who had seen some strange creature.

It's no wonder, because Reinhardt was a commander, and although the appearance of the Hundred-Eyed Lord was a great challenge for "command", it was only in such a predicament that the true level of a genius could be shown.

Just like the proverb on the continent of Arad, the real good iron will always shine its sharpest side in the flames.

At this moment, Reinhardt was very curious to know what the most genius commander on the Arad continent, Midi Asrex, would do.

"How?" said Midillo, without thinking, "First of all, take the command of the fleet completely. This thing ......"

"I'll take care of it. Reinhardt immediately picked up.

Bloody Purification and the Falcon Regiment are two powerful forces, although there is a common enemy, and an alliance has been formed, but these are only superficial after all, and there can be described as an undercurrent surging inside.

But now, the Bloody Purges had been frightened by the thunderous offensive of the sect's headquarters, and there was no stronger, more convincing figure to rise to the occasion when Marcel hesitated.

On the contrary, Midi's power is in full swing, not only did he single-handedly capture eight Stinger ships, but he also played a key role in the defense of Bloodhell Island.

Although the situation is very bad now, if it weren't for Midi to snatch a Hundred-Eyed Demon Lord, it would not be a matter of being bad, but the result of being directly crushed.

Therefore, even if Midi is the savior of bloody purification, there is no exaggeration.

To confront the sectarian headquarters, the "Allied forces" would be more efficient, more united and stronger, if they merged into a single army and were led by only one person. And the Falcon Regiment and the Bloody Purification happen to be in a state of ups and downs, and instead of taking this opportunity to seize military power, it doesn't look like Midi.

This point was already prepared in Reinhardt's heart, and if it were him, he would definitely do it first.

"I've already sent someone to infiltrate the Bloody Purge, and the patrol brothers, Roth and Roy, have a good relationship with us, and Sandur relies on the influence of the Holy Maiden Avril to contain it. It has also been negotiated with those neutral elements, and the inheritance of the Catcher brought out of the labyrinth of the mind, as long as it is properly evened out and obtained, it should not be a problem to obtain the supreme command of the fleet. Reinhardt spoke eloquently.

Midi nodded with satisfaction, having a famous general of Reinhardt's level as his lieutenant can indeed save a lot of trouble, at least, it is much better than a guy like "Nightmare Hand" Wiseman.

"In three days, the fleet will be assembled, and then it will be regular operations. Midi cast her gaze back to the vast nautical chart.

"Exactly, then, how to fight?" Reinhardt asked impatiently.

"It's easy to say, it's to bring the enemy into our rhythm. Midi said lightly.

Three days later.

Both fleets sailed out of Bloodhell Island at the same time, heading in two different directions.

The two fleets, one led by Midi and consisting of captured Stinger warships and the Wind and Fire warships copied by the Falcon Regiment, were destined for a mine at the sect's headquarters thousands of kilometers away.

The other fleet, led by Reinhardt, was dominated by a bloody purified fleet, and its destination was a floating island outpost thousands of kilometers away.

While these two fleets were attacking, the sect headquarters immediately took a full view of everything.

However, since the two fleets are heading in two very different directions, they must also make a choice.

Is it to support the mines, or to support the outposts?

Of course, the best option is to send two fleets to support both areas at the same time.

But the problem is that when the sect headquarters intends to do this, it turns out that the only fleet that can reach the war zone before the enemy can reach the war zone is a fleet.

Obviously, Midi's attack was not a random temptation, but the result of careful calculation.

These two locations were equal distances for Midi's fleet, but for the sect headquarters, they were not under the protection of saturated defenses.

In addition, since it is not a military stronghold, it is presumably impossible to mobilize additional forces for defense.

Forcing the opponent to make a single choice is the Midi tactic.

Eventually, given the impressive and threatening nature of Midi himself, the Cult Headquarters sent the fleet to the mines as quickly as possible, while arranging for another fleet located in a farther area to rush to the outpost.

As a result, Midi took the Hayabusa Regiment's battleship around the perimeter of the mine and left, not firing a single shot from beginning to end.

Reinhardt, on the other hand, unleashed a lightning onslaught, raining down on the unprotected outpost.

By the time the Sect's Second Fleet reached its destination, all that could be seen was a floating rock.

Even the floating island itself was shattered by Reinhardt's planting of explosives.

After winning the first battle, Midi's mood did not fluctuate in any way, but he did the same and launched an attack again.

Again, this is another attack to force the opponent to make a choice.

Once again, the sect headquarters made the wrong choice.

In other words, there is never a right choice, no matter which side you choose to defend, the other side will get the right information through magical communication and then launch an attack.

After several times like this, the sect headquarters was obviously in a huge advantage in strength, but it was beaten by Midi and was so restrained that not only could it not organize a decent attack, but even the defense became scrambling.

Not only that, but because Midi adopted a scorched earth policy, every time he attacked, he would try his best to blow up the floating islands directly, even if it was a large floating island that could not be destroyed, he would at least go up and wreak havoc, so that the enemy could not re-establish a stronghold in a short time.

In this way, under the saturation attack of Midi, the sect headquarters was completely brought into his rhythm.

Midi can choose when and where to fight, while the sect headquarters can only defend passively.

Midi can choose to fight or not fight, but the Sect must send a large number of troops to defend.

Thus, relying only on two or three modest fleets, Midi dragged down an enemy several times his size, and relied on continuous attacks to invisibly disintegrate 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 the army of Dao Midi, it would not be so passive.

According to the usual practice, they will undoubtedly gather a large fleet and pounce directly on Bloody Hell Island, completely destroying it.

Then turn around and pounce on Midi's forward base, destroying it as well.

At that time, having lost their foothold, Midi and Bloody Purification will no longer be able to compete with the sect's headquarters, and will have to withdraw from the Star Ocean.

However, it was precisely because they were aware of Midi's movements and clearly saw Midi's attack that they fell into the quagmire of infinite defense and could not get out.

"Bring the opponent into our rhythm".

It was only at this moment that Reinhardt finally understood what Midi was doing.

Perhaps, everything in the entire Star Ocean is under the surveillance of the Hundred-Eyed Demon Lord.

However, the majesty of a true commander cannot be discovered.

Just like a real game, at this moment, Midi is playing psychological warfare.
