Galaxy Domination Guide-Chapter 716 - 702 seconded

More than two thousand Empire warships, except for a small number used for secondary combat missions that were destroyers and escort ships, were all cruisers or heavier vessels.

Old General Yu Dangkou, like a war lion leading the charge, commanded the Iridium Star warships in a fierce attack on the encircled enemy.

"Your beam cannons, railguns, missiles, laser cannons, all the weapons you can use, throw them fiercely at the enemy!"

The entire battlefield in this area was filled with explosions and light, with the concentrated Iridium Star Fleet frantically unleashing their firepower. It was only because these former Snow Dragon Alliance warships, after their upgrade and transformation, achieved the strength of advanced warships, otherwise, just in the moment of encounter, they would likely have been annihilated by Li Cheng’s unreasonably fierce attack. freewēbnoveℓ.com

Having no intention to command a fleet himself and instead staying by Su Shuang’s side, Suo Kexiao, with arms crossed, commented in amazement, "The people of Iridium Star are indeed extraordinary, this kind of vigorous and fluent attack method is rarely used so smoothly by others."

Su Shuang’s expression was always stern as he closely observed and said, "Although Iridium Star people have abandoned attacking us from other directions, their dynamic evasion defense is actually laudable, so they aren’t just passively standing there letting us hit them."

Suo Kexiao shrugged, "What does it matter? At this rate, they will still suffer heavy losses. The general commanding in place of the Iridium Star Chancellor probably didn’t choose a very good method."

However, Su Shuang had no intention of relaxing, "No, they are pressing our fiercely attacking fleet, losing much faster than they are. They continuously expand their target attack zone, keep sinking our warships, and the pace is very fast. At the current rate of exchange, when they have destroyed about eight hundred of our warships, there will be a significant drop in our firepower. A shift in our attack and defense with them may occur."

This was a simple multivariate correlation probability problem, with the most important two parameters being the number of fleets between Nuoye side and Su Shuang’s fleet, directly leading to changes in firepower, spatial distribution, morale, and thus affecting the outcome of the battle.

Su Shuang is an outstanding general, and what he prided himself most on was actually a set of complex or simple mathematical models combined together. No matter how complex the battlefield, he could introduce new variables, adopt new computation methods, and ultimately obtain the most advantageous tactics for himself.

This was the use of statistical, spatial topology, game theory, and various other mathematical tools, for Su Shuang, his war was not some art filled with passion and magic, but a simple mathematical calculation.

"This way our chances of winning will decrease, and it will take too long," Su Shuang said.

Suo Kexiao asked, "What do you plan to do?"

"Recall some warships chasing after flies and gather forces from another two bases."

Suo Kexiao stared at Su Shuang, "You know what this means, right? By doing this, it might very well be playing right into that Iridium Star commander’s plan."

"It doesn’t matter, if we cannot achieve a significant victory on this battlefield, then even if we fight well and defend well elsewhere, it will be worthless."

Suo Kexiao smirked, "You’re the one giving the orders, if you think you’re doing the right thing, I have no reason to stop you."

Just like Su Shuang, when the battle truly started, Chancellor Bai Zhongqi of the Iridium Star United Empire boarded his warship, Blade Empress. The Blade Empress, along with a large number of Empire ships, was just stationed in space. The Chancellor wore a particularly stiff white chancellor’s uniform with very delicate cufflinks at the cuffs. There was a three-direction lightning bolt symbol on his chest, glittering with gold.

"Su Shuang has made his move," said Bai Zhongqi, sitting upright and staring unblinkingly at his data wall.

Zero was quite surprised and said, "Adding more troops while still in a huge advantage, I don’t understand this strategy?"

"That’s because it’s Su Shuang, he will choose the optimal strategy, changing the situation on the battlefield with seemingly unimportant movements. If his adjustment is successful, even if Li Cheng were to grow three heads and six arms, he won’t be able to change the outcome."

Zero asked, "Are we still not moving?"

"If the Fallen Empire doesn’t make a move first, then we won’t either."

At this time, the Innocence squadron was almost caught by the enemy, continuously using phase jumps to flee, which wasn’t a very good method. The enemy would start calculating using the potential difference created by planetary gravity. After a few jumps, the enemy would have strategies in place to capture them more quickly.

However, Su Shuang ordered the thousands of Galactic Empire warships engaged in the hunt to return home and join his operation at Light Valley Star.

"We’re just a bit short," a general from the Klaren Civilization was quite reluctant.

"Exactly, and ahead lies Nuoye Star in the Horsehead Arm-5, the stronghold of the Iridium Star people, which has already been evacuated, leaving the entire planet undefended."

The Klaren general was clearly struggling; watching those fast-response Iridium Star squadrons on the screen, he hesitated for a long while, then gritted his teeth, "Destroy them, they don’t have anywhere to run to now. We only need half an hour to annihilate them, and we can let the Marine Corps land on this planet and occupy it, then return to Light Valley Star to join the commander’s battle later. Anyway, we are at an absolute peak now."

Another general commanding the fleet said in a startled tone, "Is it really good to do this? The commander’s orders were to return immediately, if we delay and don’t go back, we might be punished."

The Klaren general snorted, saying, "Even if we return now, it will take some time because of various factors. Besides, the commander is a Divine General of the Divine Generals Hall, once the forces of Iridium Star are defeated, he will be summoned by the Galactic Emperor and won’t have any influence over the Horsehead Arm-5 Star Sector anymore. We defeat the enemy and occupy their base planet, the Galactic Emperor will certainly recognize such a merit. Even if the commander isn’t satisfied, he certainly won’t be able to do anything to us."

These generals responsible for the hunt, all originally military personnel of the Snow Dragon Alliance, were truly under Su Shuang’s command for only a few months, and with more information about the Galactic Empire in their possession, their reverence for Su Shuang and Suo Kexiao was not as intense anymore. Especially able to defeat the Iridium Star, who they once looked up to, these people were fired up, ignoring Su Shuang’s orders.

After all, when the general is abroad, the king’s orders are sometimes disregarded, especially since the king is just a higher-ranking general.
