Galaxy Domination Guide-Chapter 714 - 700 two generals confront each other

Bai Zhongqi looked at the large data wall, with various real-time data constantly updating. His eyeballs moved rapidly, following all the updated data and comprehending the situation thoroughly.

Ling, with a hint of worry, asked Bai Zhongqi, "In this battle, with Li Cheng as the main commander designing such a response tactic, can we win?"

On the contrary, Bai Zhongqi had more confidence in the general who had spent time with him. He nodded and said, "I believe that the United Iridium Star Empire has cultivated a large number of very excellent generals, and that is an important asset that gives me the courage to stand against the entire Galaxy now. Li Cheng is one of the outstanding officers of the Empire Army, and a particularly distinguished one at that. I’ve found that he possesses a grand perspective that transcends local battlefields, his troop movements leave no traces, and what stands out is his decisiveness, knowing where to exert force and where to hold back."

"Su Shuang is a general who is very particular about form and are keen on aesthetics and order in warfare. He can command almost infinitely large fleets, where every part operates neatly and in clear and effective coordination with each other. I fear that Su Shuang is one of the Divine Generals with the greatest talent in large-scale battlefields."

Ling couldn’t help but say, "Such a person was still defeated by us."

Bai Zhongqi laughed, believing that he was still far inferior to Su Shuang, acknowledging that his victory was more due to a disparity in technology.

"My point is, Su Shuang may be fastidious about form but focuses more on the whole, lacking in spirit; while Li Cheng, who seems wooden, is actually the most ruthless when it comes to deploying troops in our Iridium Star Empire Army. He might not have many forces at his disposal, but he dares to throw his troops into the meat grinder at critical moments, biting out a victory at the place where the enemy can least defend. Against a Divine General like Su Shuang, who fights like nobility, the spirited and courageous Li Cheng can secure victory for Iridium Star even when at a disadvantage."

Ling’s eyes sparkled with excitement, finding Bai Zhongqi’s narrative novel, and asked, "Li Cheng hasn’t worked under you for long, and the battles he has fought were all overwhelmingly favorable. How can you see his capability so quickly? Do you also have some sort of cheat device that lets you see his talent index?"

Bai Zhongqi chuckled, "I wish I had such a thing. We do indeed have few actual combat experiences on the side of the United Empire, but we have virtual reality simulations with extremely high fidelity, so high that now many people from Iridium Star need to undergo ’internet addiction therapy’ to readjust to reality. The data collected from numerous high-fidelity VR exercises is enough for me."

"So, you dare to entrust the command of three fleet groups to Li Cheng just like that?"

"That’s right; if I were to command, I might lose, but with Li Cheng in command, there’s at least a forty percent chance of winning." ƒгeeweɓn૦vel.com

Bai Zhongqi confidently added one last remark, "That’s the case without any reinforcements from me."

The Innocence led the rapid reaction detachment not through channels but instead chose to utilize gravitational potential difference to initiate a phase jump, a rarity among high-level civilizations, to evade the fleets of the Galactic Empire.

Suo Kexiao clicked his tongue and said, "I didn’t expect that, these Iridium Star folks didn’t think to fight their way out or use a cover strategy to allow a batch of their fleet to escape first; they just fled like this."

Su Shuang did not get angry but simply said, "This is the most foolish move. We have set up anti-warp disruption devices in the area; they can’t run fast. So what if they use phase jumps? Our fleet can travel at critical warp speed. Waiting at their destination to catch them would suffice."

Su Shuang immediately mobilized a pursuit force to warp-speed travel directly to the planet where the Iridium Star rapid response detachment was headed. Unexpectedly, the Innocence fleet interrupted their phase jump, choosing a new planet and initiating another phase jump, altering their direction.

"Do they have such good detection capabilities?" Su Shuang murmured to himself.

Suo Kexiao gloated, "I told you before, these civilizations from the Snow Dragon Alliance might have sided with the Galactic Empire, but Iridium Star was once their Sect Master. It’s unbelievable that there are no arrangements made by Iridium Star among these civilizations. They know about your moves as soon as you make them, making it easy for them to change course."

With a dark expression, Su Shuang said, "Afterwards, you’ll be responsible for the purge; we need to eliminate all possible unstable factors that might be Iridium Star’s hidden stakes."

On the contrary, Suo Kexiao refused, "Big brother, ah, I am a Divine General on par with you, and you keep treating me like your errand boy; I find it vexing. If you have tasks, do them yourself, alright?"

Su Shuang had no way of dealing with this kind of Suo Kexiao, but Suo Kexiao had a point.

Ignoring Suo Kexiao, Su Shuang used an auxiliary program to make a precise calculation, "Based on such a blockading efficiency, it’s inevitable that this Iridium Star fleet will be trapped within a maximum of seventeen hours."

Suo Kexiao said, "Why do you think this little fly wants to fly away? Our attention is focused on it, but we have forgotten other places."

Su Shuang smirked, "Do you think that’s possible?"

Putting his hand to his forehead, Suo Kexiao said, "Indeed, I have been impertinent. You, Divine General Su Shuang, are known as the foremost person in the Galaxy for controlling large-scale battlefields. Then, please enlighten this fool, what’s the situation now?"

Without entertaining Suo Kexiao’s playfulness, Su Shuang seriously said, "Letting the fly escape without engagement is because Iridium Star doesn’t want its fleet to suffer meaningless losses, as engaging under these conditions would inevitably result in attrition, which is very inefficient. But letting the fly flee can indeed draw our attention. In our attempt to encircle the fly, we have already deployed a thousand ships. Therefore, the best next move for Iridium Star would be to opt for a larger scale surprise attack on us, or on our logistical production bases."

"Hey, if that’s really the case, we’ll be in trouble. Your legion relies on this bit of logistical support with over eight thousand warships. If it’s really destroyed, we might as well not continue the fight with Iridium Star at Renma Arm-5, just pack up and leave, since there’d be nothing left to fight with even if we stayed."

Shaking his head, Su Shuang said, "At the most basic level, war is indeed like this. But this war is not that simple at all. Both we and the three Iridium Star fleets are just surface pieces clashed against each other. The real chess players are hidden in the background, holding a handful of pieces, ready to scatter them across the board the moment they see a gap in the enemy’s defenses."

He slightly bowed his head, his eyes harboring well-concealed loss: "This is the warfare among the overlords of the Galaxy, something I’ve long aspired to. Countless warships will be thrown into battle, and billions of people will be expended. But this is just a flick of the fingers for the overlords."
