The power of a Seer was the Empire Army's perpetual advantage. On the battlefield, as long as Lin Xue or our lively daughter was around, any enemy scheme or ambush was meaningless.
After Lin Xue gave her warning, the fleet began preparing to meet more enemies. The assault forces originally intended for the second wave remained on standby for the time being, while the first wave of assault ships that had already charged into the Merova positions withdrew immediately after achieving sufficient results. Under the cover of a high-density particle stream from the Galactic Center, they looped around in a huge arc and stealthily returned to the Empire Army's main formation. Siweisi then used her power to enhance the offensive capabilities of all main combat vessels, and we began maintaining high-intensity fire against the Merova while conserving energy. Without the deadly impact of the assault forces, the Merova People were able to organize more orderly return fire and began advancing as a whole toward the Empire Army. Their directed psionic focusing technology was somewhat inadequate; at the current engagement range, Merova warships appeared lacking in firepower. Thus, these fearless enemies began pushing their battle line forward through the Empire Army's fierce bombardment.
On the surface, everything on the battlefield appeared to be progressing "normally." Both sides poured out the fiercest firepower they could muster, while one side was closing the distance with its opponent.

When the Empire Fleet reduced the number of assault forces and began subtly altering its formation, Barrian should have known
