Attack the enemy directly?
Lin Fan's words were truly shocking to everyone.
After all, no one had seen the strength of a Class 1 or Class 2 Insect King. Would it not be too risky to send a fleet to attack the enemy directly?
However, there were also people who understood the situation, such as Li Cangqiong, Fujiwara Ayako, and Mu.
They knew very well that if a Class 1 Insect King could really defeat the Federation's fleet, why would it not send out a fleet? Why would it only use the normal Insect King as cannon fodder?
Moreover, if a Class 1 Insect King was really stronger than the Federation's fleet, would they be able to defeat the enemy even if they stayed at the defensive line?
In fact, the logic was very simple. It was just that most people would easily fall into the trap of thinking.
After looking around, Lin Fan once again sighed in his heart. Indeed, other than the three of them, the others might not have much of a problem in terms of tactics, but in terms of strategy, they were ultimately inferior to the three of them.
Obviously, Li Cangqiong, Fujiwara Ayako, and Mu were the type that could be commanders. However, the others could only be generals. Perhaps being the commander of a fleet was the end of their military career.
"It doesn't matter if the enemy is waiting for the Insect Queen or not, there is only one thing we need to do, and that is …"
"Before they are ready, we need to kill them in the cradle!"
"Therefore, I've decided to send a fleet of the Federation's galaxy clusters from the Vita Defense Line and use the hyperspace engine to bypass the Insect King's army and go to the rear to find the Class 1 Insect King. Then …"
Would sending a fleet of the Federation's galaxy clusters affect the Vita Defense Line?
Of course, it would. After all, it was 20% of the Federation's forces here.
However, the impact was still within control. It would not cause the entire defense line to be unable to stop the Insect King's advance due to the reduction of their forces.
"Li Cangqiong!"
"Yes, sir!"
Li Cangqiong immediately stood up when he heard Lin Fan call his name.
"Lead your first fleet and coordinate with the General Staff's redeployment. Withdraw the fleet from the Vita defense line and depart three days later to the rear of the insectoids!"
"For this battle, I will let Li Lizi follow you on the ship and provide you with technical support. Is there any problem?"
In fact, Lin Fan didn't plan to let Li Lizi go on the ship. After all, she was Li Cangqiong's daughter. It was a bit unreasonable to let her father go on such a dangerous mission.
However, there was one thing that he did not mention. The mission this time around was not just to find and kill the Level 1 King Beetle. In fact, there was another objective, and that was to continue searching for traces of the mastermind. And the only person who could carry out this mission was none other than Li Lizi.
Therefore, even though he felt sorry for Li Cangqiong, Lin Fan still gave the order.
"No problem, Marshal!"
There was no hesitation. In Li Cangqiong's opinion, Lin Fan would never let Li Lizi go with him if he had a choice.
This was not because Li Lizi was his daughter. It was because Li Lizi was one of the two strategic scientists in the Federation. However, Lin Fan still gave the order.
Therefore, there must be a reason why Li Lizi had to go on this mission. It was just that Lin Fan did not say it out loud.
Li Cangqiong was not dissatisfied with this. In fact, he was looking forward to it. After all, it was rare for a father and daughter to go on a mission together.
As for the danger …
On one hand, Li Cangqiong believed that Lin Fan would not send him on a mission that he was not confident in. On the other hand, Li Cangqiong also believed in his own abilities. This was the confidence that a general must have!
Moreover, even if there was an accident, he would risk his life to send Li Lizi away safely.
Not only because Li Lizi was a strategic scientist in the Federation, but also because she was his daughter!
Three days later.
Inside the garrison base behind the Vita Defense Line.
A huge fleet was already arranged in a neat formation in the void. It was a magnificent sight!
One of the huge Titan-class battleships was obviously the flagship of this fleet. The words "Yinglong" were printed on the hull of the battleship. It was Li Cangqiong's ship, Yinglong.
In the bridge, the command team and the staff team were all busy making the final preparations for the fleet's attack.
"Commander, all the fleets are ready. We can depart at any time."
"All troops depart!"
"Yes, Commander!"
-----
More than 50,000 light years away.
"Henie, get ready. Emil and Jassi's vanguard will arrive in three months. In addition, Aliya will arrive in half a year!"
Just as Henie was commanding the Insectoids in the entire star system to gather at the Vita Defense Line as cannon fodder, Alba's majestic voice came from the spiritual network.
Henie's heart skipped a beat. He was shocked by Alba's words.
The other two Grand Dukes and the Insectoid Empress Aliya were all going to gather here?
Henie was different from Alba. He was young and did not participate in the previous Holy War. He did not understand the significance of the Insectoid Empress and all the Grand Dukes gathering.
However, this did not affect the shock he felt from the bottom of his heart.
After all, he was just a small fry. How could he have the chance to meet so many important people at the same time?
"Yes, Empress!"
Henie's voice was trembling.
"Mm. Also, continue with the current strategy. I will continue to isolate the space here. Try to cultivate more royal guards before they arrive. Unless Aliya arrives, don't disturb me!"
"Yes, I understand, Empress!"
What did he mean by 'don't disturb me unless Aliya arrives'?
Clearly, Alba's words meant to show the other two Grand Dukes who were in charge.
After all, the three Insectoids were once Grand Dukes. Alba was the youngest and weakest one. Now that he had evolved into an Insectoid Empress, he was no longer on the same level as them.
Therefore, there was a need to correct the perception of the other two Grand Dukes. For this, a show of strength was necessary!
So what if you're Grand Dukes? Even if you're here, you still have to wait patiently until I'm free and want to meet you!
After giving instructions, Alba cut off the mental network connection again. Heniye continued to give orders.
Through the sensory sharing of the frontline Insectoids, Henie looked at the defenders on the Vita Defense Line. For the past few days, he felt that something was wrong, but he could not pinpoint what it was.
Suddenly, as if he had a flash of inspiration, Henie finally figured out what it was that made him
feel that something was wrong.
Quantity …
Yes, quantity!
The number of human battleships had obviously decreased!
