Torrea was stunned for a moment, but then he laughed.
He was shocked because the opponent had less than 1,200 legions, but he dared to charge against more than 2,800 legions. This really surprised him.
And smiling is because...
Torrea believed that this was the last act of madness carried out by the pagans when they saw that the situation was over.
After all, as long as I don't move and just take a defensive stance to meet the attack, I won't be afraid of any tricks the other party will use.
As for the frontal fleet battle, with more than twice the strength advantage, there is no reason to fail!
"Your Majesty, shall we send a fleet to fight?"
"Attack, why attack? Order all fleets to defend in place!"
"Defense in place?"
Hearing this, all the ministers were shocked.
"That's right. Have you all forgotten how many times you have fallen into the pagan's tricks before?"
"Isn't it good to defend in place? As long as I'm stable enough, the other side won't be able to use any tricks, and we..."
"Just consume the opponent slowly!"
"Yes, I just want to defend, and then use the defense to engage in an abnormal war of attrition with the opponent!"
For any commander, a war of attrition is a pitfall that must be avoided.
But at this moment, Torrea said that he would actively lead the war into a war of attrition. How could this not surprise all the ministers?
However, these ministers soon came to their senses.
After all, after being attacked several times, the number of imperial fleets has dropped sharply from 5,000 legions to more than 2,800.
It can no longer withstand another heavy blow.
Therefore, a war of attrition is actually the safest method at present.
As long as the pagan fleet is dragged into a war of attrition, then the empire will definitely win in the end, right?
Thinking of this, the expressions of each minister gradually changed from puzzlement to excitement.
As long as this battle is won, there will be no obstacles on the way forward, and the empire will fight all the way into the pagan territory and completely end this holy war.
It is said that the last holy war lasted for tens of billions of years. If the empire can finish it so quickly this time, it will definitely be rewarded by the Lord of Darkness.
Just do it, just do it!
Isn't it just a war of attrition, with losses of hundreds, or at most thousands of legions?
After fighting this way, thousands of legions have been lost before and after. Do you still care about these hundreds or a thousand legions?
As long as you can win!
then...
Under Torrea's order, the fleet of the Norea Empire was not prepared to attack at all, but continued to stay between the first and second lines of defense.
On the other side, 580 alliance legions have formed an assault formation and are heading towards the Norea Empire's array as quickly as possible.
At the rear of the Union Army, 600 Federal Army followed closely behind.
next moment...
The battle started instantly.
The first to launch the attack were seven Chaos Ray Carriers.
Lin Yu didn't hold anything back, and immediately released the strategic weapons that were originally used as trump cards.
Seven chaotic rays suddenly opened a hole in the center of the Norea Empire array.
until...
Move the front of the imperial capital.
It's not that these chaos rays don't have enough range to kill them together with the mobile imperial capital.
But it can’t be killed!
Although chaos rays are absolutely fatal to black cavity life forms below the fifth level.
but...
In the Mobile Imperial Capital, there were sixth-level experts, and a huge defensive wall was quickly formed in front of the Mobile Imperial Capital, resisting this attack.
After all, seven attacks are released at the same time. As a price, Torrea's consumption is definitely not small.
But he was even more excited.
In his view, this was the last resort for pagans.
pity...
Blocked by myself!
The rest can be solved by the fleet. Victory...
Right before your eyes!
One attack killed more than 180 legions of the empire, but within 12 hours, these chaos ray carriers could not even think of a second attack.
The gap in military strength between the two sides is still huge.
Even the hole opened by the bombardment is being quickly filled by other fleets.
Although the filling speed is very fast, when Lin Yu attacks, he is also calculated. If he is really going to be completely filled by you, then what else is he doing?
While the gap was only about half filled, 580 Alliance fleets had already crashed into the Norea Empire's fleet array in assault formation.
A fierce firefight ensued!
------
Norea Empire, mobile imperial capital, inside the meeting hall.
"Your Majesty, it seems that the heretics are planning to make a central breakthrough in one go, trying to break through to the mobile imperial capital and behead us!"
"However, according to their current strength and breakthrough speed, even if they go smoothly, they should only be able to break through 70% of the array. It is simply impossible to reach the mobile imperial capital!"
A minister was telling Torrea his analysis.
And this analysis also received everyone’s nod of approval.
Do you really think it’s that easy to break through from the center?
In addition to the enemies in front, as the depth of the breakthrough becomes deeper, there will also be more and more enemies attacking you around you.
In other words, the deeper the breakthrough, the harder it is.
It's easier said than done to completely penetrate this thick array...
"They are just making a last ditch effort, but this is also a good opportunity to consume the pagan troops!"
"So, we need to kill as many of their fleets as possible before they react and choose to retreat."
"Order the fleet to intercept with all its strength, and deploy 200 legions from each wing. When the pagan fleet falls into our array, we will circle back and block their retreat!"
"This wave, even if I can't wipe them all out, I will completely inflict heavy damage on these heretics!"
Torrea waved his right hand and ordered.
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
------
Just when Torrea was dreaming of a wave of annihilation of the Alliance fleet.
In the battleship where Lin Yu is.
"Report, the current breakthrough depth is 27%, and the pressure on both wings of the fleet is gradually increasing!"
"Tell them to hold on, they are the key to winning this battle!"
"Yes, Commander!"
"Report, Norea Empire has dispatched 200 legions on each side of the array. According to analysis, they should be preparing to bypass the rear of our fleet in an attempt to block our retreat channel!"
"Don't worry about it. We never thought about retreating. It's better to say this. There are 400 fewer legions of fleets in front of us, right?"
"clear!"
"Report, the current breakthrough depth is 28%, and it is expected to break through to the predetermined position in seventeen minutes!"
"Very good, did the opponent's black cavity lifeform do anything?"
"Report, according to the scan, there is no sign of the Norea Empire's black cavity lifeforms being dispatched. The staff team analyzed that it may be because the Norea Empire believes that it can defeat us without the black cavity lifeforms. After all, in these civilizations
In my eyes, the fleet is worthless..."
The deputy said with a strange expression.
"If they think so, that's their business. As for us..."
