"The lesson we can learn is to beware of the Blue Stars at all times." Manina said sternly: "As for the follow-up investigation work, I suggest sending god-level experts to investigate. We currently only have this one
Method."
The reconnaissance airship cannot be used, and the seventh-level experts will be attacked by the Blue Stars when they go out. The only way Manina can think of is to let the god-level experts go out to conduct reconnaissance.
God-level warriors are fast and powerful, so they don't have to worry about being attacked by Blue Star people.
But at this moment, Plante shook his head and said: "No, there is no need to send people out to investigate."
After everyone focused their attention on him, Plante said: "Just when I was rescuing people, I had already flown around the Blue Star's second line of defense. I saw everything within the line of defense.
In eyes.
Let me draw a picture for you. After reading the picture, you will probably understand the whole situation."
Because it's hard to explain everything, Plante used the mecha's laser module to draw a laser map.
After the drawing was completed, he showed the laser map in front of the video conference camera and explained:
"The outermost circle is the Blue Star people's second line of defense. According to my observations, the defensive weapons deployed in this line of defense are basically weapons made by us, that is, laser weapons and anti-matter rail guns.
In addition, there are some psychic weapons made by the Blue Star people themselves, but they don’t seem to be very powerful, and the powerful ones have long been used as the first line of defense.”
Prandtl's laser painting can be roughly seen as two circles. The outer circle of these two circles is the second line of defense, and the inner circle is the first line of defense.
In the next few minutes, he described the specific situation of the second line of defense in detail.
After describing it, Plant pointed to the area between the two lines of defense: "As for the area between the two lines of defense, it is completely planted with demonized plants, including the sea, which is all planted with aquatic demonized plants.
There are not many varieties of magical plants, I only saw 4 types.
Three of the magical plants specialize in slowing down, the ones that throw ice watermelons, ice peas, and corn kernels.
The remaining one is capable of blowing strong winds.
Demonized plants are generally level 2~3, and I haven’t seen any that are particularly powerful or of a particularly high level.”
Plante tapped his fingertips heavily on the demonized plant area and continued: "As far as I can see, the area between the first line of defense and the second line of defense has been completely filled with demonized plants, almost
There is no gap.
When we formulate our attack plan, we must deal with it as if all places are filled with magical plants, and we must also take into account the attributes of these magical plants.
That’s all I have to say. As for formulating the specific plan, it’s up to you, Manina.”
"Okay, Mr. Plante." Manina replied, frowning deeply at the same time.
Not only Manina frowned, Cusman and other gods also frowned to varying degrees.
This move of the Blue Star people is very powerful! Plant demonized plants between the two lines of defense.
It is certainly impossible for the Skrulls to ignore the demonized plants and just let the battleship fly over. Therefore, if they want to attack the second line of defense, they must clear away the demonized plants along the way, which will inevitably delay their advancement.
So how to formulate a follow-up combat plan?
Manina was silent for a while, and then said: "Since the two lines of defense are full of demonized plants, we can only clear out the demonized plants before attacking the second line of defense.
But fortunately, the demonized plants will not move. We only need to clear a passage several hundred meters wide, and we should be able to let the army pass."
It is very easy to clear a channel several hundred meters wide.
Not to mention god-level powerhouses, even Manina himself could easily clear a passage several hundred meters wide by continuously using spiritual magic.
The strength of demonized plants is generally only second to third level, and he can clean it up by simply casting a wide range of spiritual magic.
The first line of defense is only 45 kilometers away from the second line of defense. It would take Manina a few days to clear this distance. It would be faster to send more seventh-order ones, and even let the fleet blast out a line with artillery fire.
Come through the channel.
Just when Manina was about to do this, Kusman raised objections.
"Your Majesty Manina, this is wrong!" He stood up and said loudly: "Have you forgotten that these demonized plants planted by the Blue Star people have remote output?"
"Uh..." After hearing Kusman's words, Manina was immediately stunned.
Yes, how could he forget this incident?
Kusman faced all the top-level beings in the video conference room and said seriously: "As far as I know, when these demonized plants are shot into the sky, the bullets can hit one or two thousand meters. If they are fired horizontally, the range can reach four or five thousand meters."
More than rice!
If we only clear a channel a few hundred meters wide, our fleet will only be attacked by endless bullets from the plants on both sides when passing through it!
Moreover, clover can also increase the range of demonized plants. This means that only by clearing a passage more than ten kilometers wide can we ensure that we will not be attacked by demonized plants."
A passage more than ten kilometers wide?
During the video conference, the top Skrull experts were deep in thought.
Kuzman was right, the range of the demonized plants was not short. Only by clearing such a wide passage could they be protected from bullets.
But clearing a passage that is more than ten kilometers wide and 50 kilometers long is no small project!
…
Just when the top Skrull experts were deep in thought, Kusman's voice appeared again and interrupted their thoughts.
Kusman said seriously: "And we don't just need to clear a channel more than ten kilometers wide. According to my estimation, this is not enough."
Brush brush brush——
Immediately, everyone's eyes in the video conference room focused on him again.
Koosman didn't hesitate either.
He first asked for the laser map that Plante had just drawn, and then added a stroke on the map to connect the first and second lines of defense with vertical lines.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Then, he showed the modified laser map to everyone in the video conference room.
"Look, as shown in the picture, if we clear a channel more than ten kilometers wide and reach the second line of defense, how will the Blue Star people react?"
After hearing Kusman's prompt and seeing the laser map, Manina immediately realized what he wanted to express.
"Oh~" Manina suddenly realized: "So that's it! You're right, it's not enough for us to clear just one passage!"
Seeing that there were still a few gods who didn't understand what was going on, Manina took the initiative to explain: "Everyone, I roughly understand what Speaker Kusman means. What he means is——
If we only clear one passage, the Blue Star people will definitely defend at the end of the passage. In this way, we will completely lose our strategic initiative and the Blue Star people will concentrate their efforts on defense!"
After hearing Koosman's explanation, everyone understood.
Things will indeed develop like this - if they only clear a passage to the second line of defense, Blue Star humans will definitely deploy all their military forces at the end of this passage.
In this way, they face the strict defense of all Blue Star people, and the difficulty of conquering the second line of defense increases exponentially!
And this is completely different from their original plan.
In their original plan, the second line of defense should be easy to overcome.
After all, the second line of defense is very long and its defensive capabilities are much weaker than the first line of defense.
But according to the current method, only one channel is cleared, and the difficulty of overcoming the second line of defense will become epic, and it will not even be much easier than the first line of defense.
Not only that, the third, fourth, fifth... until the ninth line of defense are all the same, and the difficulty will be greatly increased!
And as the front line lengthens, there is always a risk of the rear being cut off! After all, the Blue Stars can freely shuttle among the demonized flora, but they cannot.
From this point of view, it is definitely not possible to just clear one channel.
Koosman pointed at the laser map and said loudly: "Everyone, just opening up a channel will definitely not work.
Not to mention that the difficulty of our attack will be increased to an epic level, but we can't afford the time it takes!
According to this strategy, it will take at least ten days of Blue Star time for us to break through the second line of defense! After that, the third, fourth, fifth... until the ninth line of defense will become more and more difficult.
This means that it will take us at least 90 days of Blue Star time, which is more than three months, to break through all the lines of defense and reach the edge of the tower defense network.
We absolutely cannot accept this speed! And our resources cannot support such consumption."
After hearing Kusman's words, the top Skrull beings nodded in agreement.
It is indeed impossible for them to waste so much time on these 8 lines of defense. You know, their earliest plan was to take down all the lines of defense in 7 Blue Star Days.
Moreover, the resources are indeed not enough, and it will take more than three months to completely deplete them!
"What do you mean?" At this time, Lenkert's god-level Stim asked.
There was also a hint of appreciation in Stim's tone of voice. He very much approved of Koosman's speech.
It seems that he made a wise decision in recommending Coosman as Speaker of Lenkert. Coosman is definitely a smart man, much better than the previous Speaker Cass.
Koosman paused briefly, then replied: "According to my thinking, it is definitely not possible to open only one channel.
Then there is only one way we can go - open up more passages, or be bolder and clear out all the demonized plants!"
"Clean them all?" Many top-level people were shocked.
Cleaning them all up is a bold idea!
The space between the first two lines of defense has been filled with demonized plants. The rear line of defense is unclear, but there will certainly be many demonized plants.
If we clean them all, we will definitely invest a lot of resources. Can they really afford it?
But at this time, Manina suddenly nodded and said: "Well, I support Kusman's idea and support clearing out all the magic plants. According to my idea, I think clearing out all the magic plants is better than playing a few
Channel is much better!”
He stood up and said seriously to everyone in the video conference room: "According to my analysis, if only a few channels are opened, the problem cannot be completely solved."
Manina asked AI Blue Devourer to copy a laser map, the one drawn by Plante.
After the copy was completed, he took the map and added a few strokes on the map with a wave of his hand.
He drew a total of eight passages on the map, one in each of the eight directions starting from the base: east, south, west, north, northeast, southeast, northwest, and southwest, with an included angle of 45 degrees.
Next, he pointed at these passages and said seriously: "If we follow the plan of 'only opening up a few passages', assuming we open up a total of 8 passages, is this enough?
But if we make a breakthrough on one of these channels, what will happen next?”
He stretched out his hand and drew an "x" at the end of the passage due west.
He pointed at the "x" and said: "If we take the lead in making a breakthrough due west, then our future attack direction will only be towards the west..."
Manina drew a few more lines at the "x" position and extended them toward the third line of defense on the west outer circle, and then said: "Then we can only attack in this direction, which has a great impact on our tactics.
And in this case, the Blue Stars will be easy to deal with. They only need to transfer their main military forces to the west, and we will become very passive."
All the gods in the conference room were smart people. After listening to Manina's explanation, they immediately understood the pros and cons.
Opening up multiple channels is actually not much better than opening up just one channel. Once they make a breakthrough in one direction, they will definitely not give up the results in that direction, and they will definitely want to continue to move forward in this direction.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! In this way, their strategic intentions will be very obvious, and it will be easier for the Blue Star people to deploy troops and generals to block their way.
Therefore, this solution is not particularly good.
Seeing that everyone agreed, Manina continued: "So, we might as well clean up all the demonized plants!
After all the cleanup is completed, the Blue Star people will not know from which direction we will break through, so the second line of defense will be easily solved!
That’s all I have to say, what do you think?”
After listening to Manina's opinion, several gods in the video conference room nodded in unison.
"I think His Majesty Manina is right." God-level powerhouse Heber nodded and said, "Clean up all the demonized plants so that the second line of defense can be conquered effortlessly."
"I also agree with His Majesty Manina's idea." Otas also said: "At present, this is the best way."
But some people expressed concerns.
Cusman frowned and said: "But, Your Majesty Manina, would it consume too many resources to 'clean up all the magic plants'? Our expeditionary force has a limited total amount of resources and may not be able to withstand such a high amount."
consumption!”
"You have to bear it even if you can't bear it." Manina calmly spread his hands and said: "If we don't want to waste resources on cleaning up the demonized plants, then we have to waste resources on attacking the defense line where the Blue Star people are fully guarding. Which resource will be consumed in the end?
More is not necessarily enough!”
"But……"
"Please stop for a moment, Koosman." At this time, Plante, who had not expressed his opinion, waved his hand at Koosman and said, "We will definitely not be able to reach an agreement in a short period of time when we argue.
Now that the war is imminent, we must come up with a plan and use it first instead of wasting time in arguing.
Let’s do this, the nine of us will vote, and we will implement whichever proposal gets more votes.”
His eyes scanned the faces of everyone in the video conference one by one, and he said majestically: "Of course, this is only a temporary plan. If we have a better plan later, we can replace it at any time. Come up with a temporary plan and use it first.
.”
"good."
"I agree."
"I agree."
Since it is a temporary plan, there is nothing to object to.
AI Devouring Blue also pops up a voting panel in front of everyone at the right time, allowing everyone to vote on the voting panel.
…
…
Ten minutes later, Manina's order was issued to the entire army.
The fleet of the Skrull Expeditionary Force, the floating tank group, the mecha group, the drone group... and other aircraft groups all took off and headed in all directions.
The purpose of their trip is to clear out all the demonized plants behind the defense line. Obviously, Manina won the vote just now!
In fact, there is no suspense about Manina's victory, because anyone with a discerning eye can see the limitations of the "multi-channel" solution.
Therefore, in the vote just now, Manina won a resounding victory. 7 out of 9 votes chose his plan, and two abstained. Plante solemnly announced that his plan was passed at the meeting.
After the plan was approved, Manina immediately issued orders to implement it.
The Skrull Expeditionary Force mobilized all flying units to clean up the demonized plants all over the ground.
…
In this way, the Skrulls' plant clearing operation was in full swing.
However, just after the project started, the Skrulls were surprised to find that the job of cleaning up the demonized plants was actually quite easy! At least it was much easier than they imagined.
Although the demonized plants planted by the Blue Star people are numerous and cover a large area, the defense power of the plants themselves is extremely low. (After all, there are no high-defense plants like [Nut Wall] and [Pumpkin Head].)
The Skrull warship flies over the demonized flora, the anti-matter railgun explodes into pieces, and the laser weapon pierces a line, destroying hundreds or thousands of plants with each hit;
The Skrull high-level psionicists also went out in full force. They wore mechas and came to the area with the densest concentration of demonized flora.
Here, they used a wide range of spiritual arts to their heart's content, and tried to reduce the power of the spiritual arts as much as possible, expanding the scope of the spiritual arts so that the power of the spiritual arts was just enough to kill third-level plants.
After the power is weakened, the range of each spiritual spell can cover a small half of the sky. Such spiritual spells are smashed from the sky one by one, and the demonized plants are completely destroyed without any resistance;
The disintegration ray tower at Skrull's headquarters is not idle either.
The yellow-green rays of the ray tower are extremely penetrating and have a long range. A cracking ray is emitted until all the demonized plants on the second line of defense are turned into powder;
After the above-mentioned weapons of mass destruction are released, the drone swarm shoots at the surviving demonized plants.
Just like that, large swathes of demonized plants fell down, and the Skrulls' plant cleanup work progressed rapidly, which was much easier than imagined!
Faced with such brutal cleansing by the Skrulls, the demonized plants could only be abused.
Although every plant used its bullets to attack the enemies within range when the enemy arrived, they were still quickly eaten away, and the thick green plant sap flowed all over the ground.
For demonized plants, this place is simply a hell among plants.
…
The cleaning work was carried out efficiently, and it was not until the evening of the third day, that is, the evening of June 19, that the cleaning work came to an end.
At the Skrull General Headquarters, AI Blue Devourer was reporting to Manina: "Your Majesty, according to frontline news, the cleanup of the demonized plants has been completed.
Now 99.9% of the demonized plants between the two lines of defense have been cleared, and the remaining demonized plants will no longer have any impact on the march of the army."
"Very good!" Manina sat in front of the tactical command podium of the general headquarters, full of energy: "What about the Blue Star people? What is the situation of the Blue Star people now?"
"The Blue Star people haven't given up the second line of defense yet, but it's almost there." AI Qielan replied.
AI Devouring Blue popped up an electronic map in front of Manina. There were many clear red dots on this map, and each red dot represented the current main defense force of the Blue Star people.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Manina took a look at this map and immediately saw that there were almost no red dots at the east and west ends of the second line of defense, only at the north and south ends.
There are also some distributed in small quantities.
AI Devouring Blue also explained in a timely manner: "The vast majority of Blue Star humans have withdrawn from the second line of defense and retreated to the safer third line of defense in the rear.
The vast majority of people who still remain on the second line of defense are high-level experts of Blue Star Level 6 or above. The defensive weapons in the defense line are fully automatic attack and defense weapons controlled by programs, which is exactly the same as the situation at the end of the first line of defense."
"Well, it seems that the Blue Star people also know that this line of defense cannot be defended." Manina touched his chin and ordered: "Okay, inform the entire army to start breaking through the second line of defense now!"
"clear!"
…
The order was issued quickly.
At 20:10 that night, Blue Star humanity's second line of defense completely fell.
Although there were still many high-level experts, anti-matter rail guns, and laser weapons within the defense line, the defense line only lasted for two hours before it was completely lost in the face of the strong breakthrough of the Skrulls.
But you, the Blue Star human, don’t pay much attention.
In fact, they were very satisfied that the Skrulls were able to capture the second line of defense at this time!
The second line of defense blocked the enemy for more than three days, which was much stronger than expected!
After the defense line was broken, Su Yu led the high-level experts to retreat calmly and retreated to the third line of defense in the rear;
At the same time, the ordinary Blue Star soldiers and logistics supply troops on the third line of defense also began to prepare to retreat towards the safer fourth line of defense.
…
In this way, the Skrulls occupied the second, third, and fourth defense lines in sequence, clearing away the demonized plants on the ground behind the defense lines.
The Blue Star people used magical plants and defense lines to provide limited resistance, and slowly retreated during the resistance.
Originally, in Su Yu's idea, they could also use demonized plants to fight some small-scale guerrilla warfare.
However, in the face of the Skrulls' strong push to clear the country, all the demonized plants were uprooted. They had no guerrilla space and could only keep retreating.
Fortunately, there were enough demonized plants and they were dense enough, which effectively delayed the Skrulls' attack.
