Chapter 1225: The Instantaneous Transformation of Military Strength and Weakness
Just as Lin Fan expected, the Taotie civilization began to divide its forces.
Of course, they didn't have troops stationed in every universe.
after all
Even they don't have that many troops.
You know, there are nearly two thousand universes in the Covey world, and the Taotie civilization does not have four thousand legions!
Therefore, after consultation between Alex and the ministers, a total of 150 of the most important universes were selected for garrisoning. On average, each universe was allocated two main legions, five slave legions, and 30,000 black cavity warriors.
It's true that compared to the intelligence from the Black and White Churches more than 100,000 years ago, the growth rate of the Taotie civilization is still very fast. The number of black cavity warriors alone has more than doubled.
Although compared to the Federation's development speed, this is already as slow as a turtle, but compared to other normal civilizations, it is indeed quite fast! ——
In the blink of an eye, a year has passed.
Lin Fan was not in a hurry to take action just because the Taotie civilization divided its forces.
After all, the opponent's black cavity engine is only at the fifth generation level, and it will take time to send troops into other universes.
On the other hand, if you act too quickly, it will be easy for the enemy to react and regroup their forces.
So, Lin Fan waited for a year.
During this year, he still only attacked a universe every few days, acting as if he only had one legion and planned to fight guerrilla warfare to the end.
And all these performances should come to an end today!
"Marshal, according to the latest intelligence, 92% of the Taotie's dispersed forces have already arrived at their respective target universes, and the remaining 8% will arrive within a month!"
"Calculate how long it will take to gather the troops again if they react now!"
"Two months for ten legions, seven months for fifty legions, ten months for a hundred legions, and fifteen months if the entire army is assembled!"
Liang Xue replied after quickly calculating on her terminal.
As for why it took fifteen months to assemble the entire army, it was longer than the twelve months it took to divide the troops before.
In fact, it is easy to understand. After all, the troops are dispersed from various garrisons, and the entire army does not just need to return to the garrisons, but to assemble together.
Naturally it will take more time.
"We can start now. Order all the legions at the entrance of the passage to assemble at the designated location immediately!"
"clear!"
The time was ripe, and Lin Fan gave the order without hesitation.
——
The army of the Canglong Alliance was divided into four routes.
Three of them are composed of three new federal legions, three federal main legions, and twenty legions of alliance technology standards from other civilizations.
The fourth route is composed of Lin Fan leading a formation of a new federal legion, a federal main legion, and ten legions of alliance technology standards from other civilizations.
After a whole year of planning, now is the time to reap the rewards of the Warring States period!
One day later.
A universe called Calant was attacked first.
Unlike Taotie's plan, this battle not only did not have a troop advantage, but was instead at an absolute troop disadvantage.
Coupled with the difference in the performance of the warships, the defenders were defeated before they could even hold out for a day.
As for the 30,000 Black Chamber Warriors.
I'm sorry, but every ten of the Federation's new warships combined can be equivalent to the combat power of a black cavity life form, and except for Lin Fan's group, each group has three formations of new fleets, which is a full 30 trillion.
On this scale, 30,000 black cavity life forms can't play any role at all.
In the end, the alliance won this battle completely at a very insignificant cost.
On the second day, two more universes were attacked simultaneously, and the results were almost the same as those of Calanthe.
Soon, ten days passed.
And during these ten days, Taotie conquered a total of twenty-two universes!
You know, after mobilizing all the military forces of the Taotie civilization, they only stationed troops in a total of 150 universes.
In other words, in just ten days, Taotie had lost nearly 15% of its troops.
——
Royal capital, meeting hall!
"King, I just received news that Skant has fallen!"
A Taotie guard suddenly rushed into the hall, forgetting even the greetings, and reported loudly.
"Damn it, who can tell me where this huge force of the other side came from?"
"Didn't you say that this invader only has one legion of troops?"
"And Benson, what a bad idea you came up with, dividing the troops?"
"Look, the enemy obviously has much fewer troops than us, but because of your strategy of dividing the troops, it has become the case that we have fewer troops than the enemy!"
"In almost every battle, the soldiers have to face an army ten times their size!"
Alex roared.
Why did I listen to Benson's nonsense and disperse all my forces to the utmost?
Now, they have more than 20 legions at a time, but the defenders in the universe only have two legions.
As for the slave army's fleet, it was completely useless.
How can we fight this?
"King, now is not the time to hold people accountable. Quickly order the army to regroup, or we will be finished!"
Just as Alex was waiting for Benson and was getting very angry, a minister below advised him.
"You think I don't want to?"
"Look at the enemy's marching speed. They destroyed more than 20 of our universes in ten days!"
"At this rate, I'm afraid that in two to three months at most, we will be able to consume all of their dispersed forces!"
"And in these two or three months, can you regroup your forces?"
Upon hearing this, the minister who had just tried to persuade him suddenly stopped talking.
Yes, it took a year to divide the troops, and they are still not in place. How is it possible to regroup them in two or three months?
"King, even if that's the case, let the neighboring universes gather on their own first. At least after a few months of gathering together, the military strength can be multiplied several times, so we won't be too passive!"
At this time, another minister also stood up and spoke.
After hearing this sword intention, Alex thought about it seriously. This is not a solution.
Although except for some hub universes, it would be very good for other universes to gather the military forces of two or three neighboring universes within a month.
But it just means we don’t have to face a tenfold difference in troop strength every time, right?
"Immediately formulate a gathering plan, so that the universes within 3,000 Black Cavity units will gather their forces nearby!"
"At the same time, mobilize all adult warriors in every garrison universe!"
"This is a battle for the survival of civilization. No cowardice is allowed!"
Alex gritted his teeth and ordered.
"Yes, King!"
