Chapter 1350 The Final Battle (Part 3)

Federal calendar year 17135.

It has been exactly twenty years since the war began.

Although the alliance caught the Tianshu Church off guard at the beginning, Jiang Hai soon reacted and implemented a dragnet tactic.

The advantages of the federal boundary wall folding system have been weakened to a great extent.

During the past twenty years, although the alliance army has been advancing triumphantly all the way and has completely destroyed a fleet of about 30 million of the Tianshu Church, its own losses were only less than 1 million fleets.

It can be said that this record of more than 30 to 1 is extremely impressive.

However, among the 30 million legions killed by the Alliance, 99% were believers of the Tianshu Church.

As for the main fleet of the Tianshu Church, not only did it not lose much personnel, but it actually increased in number.

According to the intelligence gathered, the Crusaders of the Tianshu Church had approximately 20 million legions when the war started, and now have 22 million legions.

Lin Fan also gradually realized that he seemed to be dragged into another kind of war of attrition.

It's not just the Tianshu Church that is frantically expanding its military, the believer civilizations under it are also frantically expanding their military, and the speed of expansion is several times faster than that of the Tianshu Church.

If this continues, the alliance will lose more than half of its own troops before it even faces the main force of the Tianshu Church.

This is not a good phenomenon.

Therefore, Lin Fan needs to change his tactics and cannot continue to be dragged down and consumed by the fleet of the believers' army.

——

In the operations meeting room.

The atmosphere was somewhat silent. After all, everyone had more or less seen the direction of the battle.

"Everyone, over the past twenty years, we have been destroying the Tianshu Church's new forces in large numbers. Although the results seem magnificent on the surface, we are actually moving step by step towards the abyss."

"I think everyone can see this point!"

"Although we have an advantage in the boundary wall folding system, we can cross a maximum of 50 black cavity boundaries in three months."

"But the Tianshu Church also has their advantages. Their unique cross-border technology, although they can only cross one black cavity world each time, the travel efficiency has been reduced to one month!"

"Add to that the dragnet tactics they've implemented. No matter where we attack, we'll be discovered in advance and gather support from several or even dozens of Black Cavity Realms!"

"Therefore, after we lost the diversity of our attack, we also lost our local troop advantage, so that we can only inflict a casualty ratio of 1 to 30 against the believer army!"

Lin Fan pointed at the black cavity space map projected in the air and kept talking.

This record of 30 to 1 became the key data used to prove his failure in his mouth.

However, there is nothing wrong with saying this. After all, it is just a fleet of the believers' army, and the warships are only at the peak level of the fifth order.

But since Jiang Hai implemented the dragnet tactics, no matter where the alliance attacks, the fleets within three black cavity realms around the attacked point will immediately provide support.

After all, their cross-border speed is only one month.

Therefore, in the past twenty years, almost every alliance has faced a fleet of believers that is several times larger than its own in number, and the enemy also has an absolute terrain advantage in channel defense battles.

So much so that the alliance paid a heavy price to win each stop.

Of course, the combatants were not the Federation, but fleets from other civilizations in the alliance.

But even so, it is still a fleet of alliance standards. Although it cannot reach the combat power of the federal fleet, it is definitely a peak seventh-order battleship. Moreover, in terms of single-round attack power, it can even approach the performance of an eighth-order battleship.

As for why the Federation’s two million legions were not deployed, it was because Lin Fan had to keep an eye on the Crusaders of the Tianshu Church.

Otherwise, once there is some action over there, the federal army sent to the battlefield will not be able to respond in time.

"Everyone, there is a more serious problem, that is..."

"The other side is frantically expanding its military. The speed of its expansion is staggering!"

"According to intelligence, the Holy See's Crusader Fleet has expanded by 2 million troops in the past 20 years, and its current size has reached 22 million!"

"And those believer civilizations are also not idle. According to our intelligence statistics, the original 100 million believer army has now grown to 78 million after we wiped out 30 million of them!"

"Yes, that's 78 million. They have built 8 million new legions in the past 20 years!"

"Does everyone understand what this means?"

Everyone, Lin Fan was extremely serious as he said this.

"Marshal, we can't continue to fight this kind of positional warfare with the Tianshu Church!"

At that time, Montero stood up and said.

He was very smart and had already guessed Lin Fan's thoughts.

"That's right, just as Montero said, if we continue to fight this kind of positional attack and defense, a strange phenomenon may appear in the later stages, that is, the more the Tianshu Church fights, the more fleets it will have!!!"

"So, we have to change our tactics. First, we need to cut off the root of their crazy military expansion. Then, in the process, we need to see if we can set a trap to lure out the main force of the Tianshu Church, that is, the 22 million Crusaders fleet!"

"Everyone look here"

Continuing to point at the black cavity space map, Lin Fan began to explain the next tactics.

——

Federal calendar year 17136.

After stopping the offense and taking a year off, the league started moving again.

This time, Lin Fan was even bolder.

The remaining 4.8 million legions were directly divided into 10,000 fleets, with each fleet having only four to five hundred legions.

What can four or five hundred legions do?

It is definitely impossible to fight on the frontal battlefield, and even the fleet of the believers' army cannot be defeated.

However, although we cannot fight on the front battlefield, we can fight behind enemy lines.

You know, in order to implement the dragnet-style deployment, even if Jiang Hai did not mobilize all of his fleets, he definitely took out more than 90% of his fleets.

Otherwise, there simply would not be enough troops to set up a giant net covering hundreds of black cavity realms.

And what is Lin Fan going to do now?

In fact, it is simple. Just break the whole into small pieces, organize tens of thousands of fleets, and then avoid the Tianshu Church's net and move in all directions.

Doesn’t the Tianshu Church have more than 500,000 black cavity realms?

Then I will break up the fleet into smaller pieces, spread them out, and set fire everywhere throughout its territory.

At the same time, Lin Fan also set three combat objectives for all fleets.

First, thoroughly cleanse every black cavity world that passes through, and eliminate potential recruits of Tianshu and the believers' army to the greatest extent possible.

Second, destroy all warships and other related manufacturing plants.

Third, destroy all the black doors you can see!

Lin Fan not only wants to cut off their warship production line, but also wants to eliminate the opponent's potential troops.

Even the end.

It is also necessary to completely destroy the network of black chamber doors within its territory, further restricting the maneuverability of the Tianshu Church fleet.
