"Dividing the troops into three groups is both a necessity and a strategy. Xiao Shi, look at the locations of these three islands."
He pointed to the star map.
"Their formation is triangular, mutually supporting each other. If any one is under heavy attack, the other two can provide support, even forming a pincer attack on us. Dividing our forces is to simultaneously restrain them, preventing them from easily supporting each other. As for concentrating our forces..."
The commander of the Twenty-First Army smiled bitterly, "Let alone whether we still have an absolute advantage in manpower, even if we do, with the enemy's level of information perception capabilities, large-scale troop movements simply cannot be concealed."
"If the enemy simply concentrates the Wardens of the three islands in our main attack direction, leveraging the terrain, we are likely to be bogged down in a more arduous battle with greater casualties. This diversionary tactic, while seemingly weakening ourselves, is actually a forced risk diversification under the enemy's information advantage, while simultaneously creating localized uncertainty."
The commander of the Twenty-First Army's eyes flickered for a moment before he continued, "As for which route is real... truth and falsehood are intertwined. But the strategic core is the true core. That's all I have to say... especially remember, absolutely do not mention any tactics or information from the hall in any communication channel."
Nanmen Shi nodded emphatically. "Understood, sir!"
"Very good!"
The general took one last look at the three islands on the star map that resembled primordial behemoths, and the deep, Black Flame Forbidden Zone behind them, and took a deep breath, as if to suppress all his doubts and unease.
He turned to all the commanders and core combat personnel gathered in the tactical hall, his voice regaining its strength and conviction, carrying a do-or-die spirit:
"Gentlemen! The final leg of the journey, the toughest challenge, lies ahead!"
"For Yuncang! For the Future!"
"Attack!"
Like a thunderclap, it exploded in the oppressive hall. After a brief silence, everyone roared in unison:
"Attack!"
The absurd war, lubricated by bloodshed, roared once again, crushing towards the final island.
Su Luo sat upright beside the Astral Remains, her body seemingly merging with the warm glow emanating from the eternal light. She held a Skill Book in her hand, and every hour or so, a white light flashed.
Although she was in the center, coordinating the defense of dozens of islands through a vast information network, the mental strain caused by this level of multi-threaded information processing was negligible for Su Luo, whose mental Attribute had now exceeded 22 points and who had the assistance of Xiao Luo and [Strategic Calculation].
The initial experiment on the fusion of Superpower Orbs has entered a stable period within the Soul Servant body. Since it doesn't require much attention but can't be left unattended, Su Luo took the opportunity to stay in reality and replenish her Attributes.
[Constitution: 21.1 (↑1.3)]
[Strength: 20.0 (↑2)]
[Spirit: 22.1 (↑0.1)]
With abundant energy and a stable environment, Su Luo tidied herself up and began writing Skill Books, boosting her other two Attributes, primarily her Constitution.
After spending nearly a day writing two blue Skill Books focusing on Constitution and strength enhancement, Su Luo finally pushed these two relatively lagging Attributes to a new level.
In particular, his Constitution, having broken through the 21-point mark, brought about a subtle sublimation at the level of the Essence of life. He stopped using his professional skills and began to guide the energy Cycle to gently permeate his body, repairing the minor damage caused by the previous high-intensity transformation and replenishing his energy consumption.
Just as his consciousness returned to calm and he was preparing to handle the next task, Su Luo suddenly let out a soft "Eh," his brows furrowing almost imperceptibly as his attention was drawn back to the continuously monitored communication information stream.
In the intense fighting over the past day, he captured hundreds of fragments of player communications that could not be deciphered using existing code words.
These signals themselves were structurally complete, with encryption layers no different from conventional tactical communications, but the content was a jumbled mess, completely inconsistent with the tactical codes he had extracted from the prisoners' memories for the current battle.
At first, Su Luo didn't pay much attention. The battlefield communication environment is complex, and equipment failure, temporary interference, or even accidental errors in encryption chips can all produce undecipherable junk signals.
However, when he pulled up the timeline of these garbled signals and compared it with the nodes of change in the overall battle situation, he found that the frequency of these undecipherable signals would increase whenever Yuncang Army made large-scale tactical adjustments.
"Another set of secret codes between commanders? Who are they being so cautious about?"
Su Luo had no intention of cracking the code or arresting and interrogating people.
These simple code words are generally illogical, and sending them at different times and places may even mean different things, so there's no point in doing it.
Even without this information, Su Luo could still dominate the Yun Cangyuan Expeditionary Army through micro-management.

"So, you're just going to shut them down outside the three islands and end it all? They can't even reach the [Starry Sky Forbidden Land], isn't that a bit cruel?" Goushi's voice came through the silver-white cube.
"You're underestimating the players. They still have two armies at their peak strength; you can't stop them."
"Not necessarily." [Kuangxuan Dabaji] refuted Su Luo's point of view.
Several people are in a group voice chat.
Su Luo created a small group with the strongest Survivors who were willing to cooperate with his commands, and shared most of the information with them.
Besides the three guys whose levels were already higher than Su Luo's, there was also the blood-red monster Barton, the Music -loving [Pineapple Candy], and the mage [Xingkong Wuyu] who seemed to have time-related Talents.
Except for Barton, who is Lv.84, the other two are Lv.85.
Including Su Luo himself, there were a total of seven people, which was the strongest force that Su Luo could directly mobilize in the core area and was willing to carry out a certain degree of tactical coordination.
Of course, there are more strong Survivors than just this one, but they are either not in a good mental state or have difficulty communicating. Su Luo's prerequisite for cooperating with others is that the other party is willing to cooperate.
"Weren't there three routes of attack? In the shared communication records among the Scholars, the commanders of each squad repeatedly mentioned that one route was the real main force. Can we analyze that from the communication records?" A cold voice came from [Xingkong Wuyu].
"We can't compete. Judging from the number of Legendary players, the strength of command, and even the total amount of orders transmitted, the armies in all three directions are similar. We can't tell the difference at all." [Xiao Kou Chang Kai] didn't speak, but silently typed in the code.
"That's right. Their original tactics were finalized before the battle, and high-level communications on the battlefield used a unique code that we couldn't crack. Their fleet's brief assembly in this area just now was likely for final offline coordination to confirm the final execution plan. For us, it's no longer necessary to dwell on which side is 'real'."
"As per the original plan, two people are enough to guard each island. If they really can't hold out, they can just run to the [Starry Sky Forbidden Land]."
Su Luo brought the discussion to a close.
