Federation Year 17135.
It has been twenty years since this war began.
Although the alliance caught Tianshu Church off guard at the beginning, soon after Jiang Hai reacted and implemented a dragnet tactic.
The advantages of the federal Realm Folding System have been weakened to a great extent.
In the past twenty years, although the Alliance army has been marching forward, it has killed and wiped out about 30 million fleets in Tianshu Church, but its own losses were only less than 1 million fleets.
It can be said that this record of more than 30 is extremely eye-catching.
However, 99% of the 30 million legions killed by the alliance were followers of Tianshu Church.
As for the main fleet of Tianshu Church, instead of reducing its number, it actually increased in number.
According to the collected intelligence, Tianshu Church and Crusader Army had about 20 million legions when the war started, but now they have 22 million legions.
And Lin Fan gradually realized that he seemed to be dragged into a war of attrition in another sense.
Not only is Tianshu Church crazily expanding its army, the believer civilization below is also crazily expanding its army, and the rate of military expansion is several times faster than Tianshu Church.
If this continues, the alliance may lose more than half of its own strength before it can confront Tianshu Church's main force.
This is not a good sign.
Therefore, Lin Fan needs to change his tactics and cannot continue to be dragged down and consumed by the fleets of the believers.
——
In the war conference room.
The atmosphere was somewhat silent. After all, everyone had more or less seen the direction of the war situation.
"Everyone, in the past twenty years, we have been annihilating Tianshu Church's new forces in large numbers. Although the results on the surface look gorgeous, we are actually heading towards the abyss step by step."
"I think everyone should be able to see this!"
"Although we have an advantage in Realm Folding System, we can span up to 50 Black Hole Cavity Realm in three months."
"But Tianshu Church also has their advantages. Their unique Cross-Realm Technology can only cross one Black Hole Cavity Realm at a time, but the traffic efficiency has been reduced to one month!"
"Coupled with the dragnet tactics they implemented, no matter where we attack, we will be discovered in advance and gather the support of several or even dozens of the Black Hole Cavity Realm around us!"
"Therefore, after we lost the diversity of our attacks, we also lost our local strength advantage, so that even a believer army could only suffer a loss of 1 to 30!"
Lin Fan pointed at the Black Hole Cavity Space picture projected in the air and kept talking.
This record of 30 to 30, in his mouth at this moment, became the key data used to prove the failure.
However, to put it this way, there is actually nothing wrong with it. After all, it is just a fleet of the Believer Army, and the battleship is only at the level of Peak Fifth-order.
But since Jiang Hai implemented the dragnet-style tactic, no matter where the alliance attacks, the fleets within three Black Hole Cavity Realm distances around the attacked point will immediately support it.
After all, their cross-border speed is only one month.
Therefore, in the past twenty years, almost every alliance will face a fleet of believers that is several times larger than its own at the same time, and the opponent also occupies an absolute terrain advantage in the channel defense battle.
So much so that the Alliance paid a heavy price to win every stop.
Of course, the battle is not with the Federation, but with other civilized fleets in the alliance.
But even so, it is an alliance-standard fleet. Although it cannot reach the combat power of Federal Fleet, it is still a peak seventh-level battleship, and in terms of single-round attack power, it can even be close to the performance of an eighth-level battleship.
As for the reason why the Federation's two million legions were not used, it was because Lin Fan had to keep an eye on the Crusader Army of Tianshu Church.
Otherwise, once there is any action over there, the federal army that is thrown into the battlefield will not be able to respond in time.
"Everyone, there is a more serious problem, and that is..."
"The other side is frantically expanding its army, and its speed of expansion is staggering!"
"According to intelligence, Tianshu Church's Crusader Army fleet has expanded by 2 million legions in the past twenty years, and the current scale has reached 22 million!"
"And those believer civilizations are also not idle. According to our intelligence statistics, after we wiped out 30 million of the original 100 million legion of believer armies, the current number is 78 million!"
"Yes, that's 78 million. They have created 8 million new legions in twenty years!"
"Does anyone understand what this means?"
Gentlemen, Lin Fan, who is saying this, is extremely serious.
"Marshal, we can't continue to fight this kind of position strategy battle with Tianshu Church!"
At this time, Montero stood up and said.
He is very smart, and he has already guessed what Lin Fan is thinking.
"Yes, as Montero said, if we continue to fight this kind of offensive and defensive battles, a strange phenomenon may occur in the later stage, that is, the more Tianshu Church fights, the more fleets it will have!!!"
"So, we need to change our tactics, first cut off the roots of their crazy military expansion, and then in the process, see if we can set up a trap to draw out the main force of Tianshu Church, which is the 22 million Crusader Army fleet!"
"Everyone, look here"
Continuing to point to the Black Hole Cavity Space picture, Lin Fan began to explain the next tactics.
——
Federation Year 17136.
After taking a break for a year, the league is back in action.
This time, Lin Fan is even bolder.
The remaining 4.8 million legions were directly divided into 10,000 fleets, each fleet only had four to five hundred legions.
What can four to five hundred legions do?
It's definitely not possible to fight on a frontal battlefield, not even the fleet of the Believer's Army can defeat it.
However, although it cannot fight on the frontal battlefield, it can fight on the battlefield behind enemy lines.
You know, in order to implement a dragnet-style formation, even if Jiang Hai did not mobilize all the fleet, it definitely deployed more than 90% of the fleet.
Otherwise, if you want to pull out a huge network covering hundreds of the Black Hole Cavity Realm, you simply won't have enough troops.
And what is Lin Fan going to do now?
In fact, it is simple, just break it into parts, compile tens of thousands of fleets, and then avoid Tianshu Church's network to bloom in all directions.
Isn't there more than 500,000 Tianshu Church Black Hole Cavity Realm?
Then I will break the fleet into pieces, disperse them all, and set fire to them throughout the territory.
At the same time, Lin Fan also set three combat goals for all fleets.
First, thoroughly clean every Black Hole Cavity Realm wherever you go, and eliminate Tianshu and potential soldiers of the Believer Army to the greatest extent possible.
Second, destroy all warships and other related manufacturing plants.
Third, destroy all Black Hole Gate you can see!
Lin Fan must not only cut off its Warship Production Line, but also eliminate the opponent's potential soldiers.
Even at the end.
It must also completely destroy the Black Hole Gate network within its territory and further restrict the mobility of the Tianshu Church fleet.
