Maybe Willvis does lack experience in large-scale interstellar wars, especially Current Mouth's experience in this kind of battle is almost zero.

But it is undeniable that Willvis is not a mediocre person. Otherwise, in the wave of attacks just now, Cyrus Fleet would not have lost just 20 million battleships.

And this result also surprised Lin Kexin.

Except for the first five hours, when the enemy seemed to have no command and was quite chaotic, in the following time, they fought admirably. If nothing else, at least the marching formation was well-organized.

As for why the opponent was relatively confused in the first five hours, Lin Kexin can actually guess the general reason. After all, in a special environment like Cosmic Current, the commander is generally not placed at the front of the fleet.

Of course, those who are unreasonable like Lin Yu don't count.

Then this question is interesting. As for Lin Kexin himself, after discovering that the other party was Ninth Order Civilization, he made many targeted arrangements, which actually included interfering with Current Mouth so that the other party could not operate Hyperspace Engine smoothly.

This is just the most basic. It should be said that no matter which senior commander of the Federation comes, he will do this as soon as possible.

And this is the so-called interstellar war experience.

However, the other party did not do this, allowing his ten Zero-Point Missile to break in so easily.

He obviously has strong fleet command capabilities, but there are omissions in this most basic aspect.

This is really strange!

In the end, Lin Kexin came to the conclusion that the opponent's commander was a very capable commander, but also a commander with almost no experience in large-scale interstellar wars.

Only in this way can this contradictory situation be explained!

Of course, there are ways to test whether this is the case, for example.

Holding his chin with his right hand, Lin Kexin couldn't help but think so.

"Well, let's do it!"

After thinking for a moment, Lin Kexin immediately had an idea. However, before implementing it, he needed to further confirm whether his guess was correct. The simplest way to confirm is

"Combat team, prepare ten Zero-Point Missile again. Once the preparation is completed, launch them immediately and attack the same coordinates as last time!"

"Yes, Commander!"

A few seconds later, ten missiles were quickly fired from the belly of the battleship again. However, when they flew a certain distance and started to activate Hyperspace Engine, something abnormal happened.

A special energy directly interfered with the running Hyperspace Engine, making it unable to start normally.

"Commander, Zero-Point Missile Hyperspace Engine failed to start for an unknown reason!"

"Sure enough...!"

After hearing the report, Lin Kexin was not surprised at all. This proved that the opponent's commander was indeed not mediocre. Even if he made an omission due to lack of experience, he immediately reacted after being exploited by himself once, and then blocked the omission without giving himself a second chance to succeed!

Seeing Cyrus Fleet, who had restored the array again and was crouching like a turtle, Lin Kexin couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth.

It's really bearable.

No, this guy must be eliminated first, otherwise his steady and steady approach may be fine in the short term, but over time, the defense line will be in danger.

For Lin Kexin, what they hope most now is for the opponent to rush out instead of staying there all the time. If they can get enough numbers and then concentrate on rushing out to form a single point of breakthrough, the entire defense line may be completely torn apart.

After all, in order to maintain enough firepower to form an all-round blockade against Current Mouth, Lin Kexin deployed five fleet clusters directly centered on the ocean current outlet to form a hemispherical defense line.

In other words, while forming sufficient firepower, the thickness of the defense line is also sacrificed. No matter which point on the defense line is attacked by the opponent, it will definitely be like paper and be broken with a poke.

Therefore, when communication is impossible inside and outside the ocean current, Lin Kexin believes that as the defender of the ocean current outlet, the best way is to kill the opponent's commander and let the fleet fall back into a chaotic state without commander-level command, or even completely without command.

The idea is good, but the thick turtle formation in front of her really gives Lin Kexin a headache. What she hates most is this powerful but very cautious commander, who makes Lin Kexin feel like she has no way to start.

"How long does it take for Nether Fleet to arrive?"

"Six minutes, Commander!"

"Well, order First and Second Fleet Clusters to give up the defense area and thicken the array in the remaining defense areas of the defense line!"

"No, Commander, doesn't this give the other party a chance to rush out?"

The adjutant was immediately shocked. Now the entire defense line relied on all-round strikes to form a dense firepower network, thereby blocking the opponent Current Mouth.

And where is the first and Second Fleet cluster responsible?

That is the most critical central area of the entire array, located at the central point of the hemisphere. If these two fleet clusters are withdrawn, it will be equivalent to leaving a big hole in the defense line of the entire hemisphere. Wouldn't this allow the other side to break out of the encirclement?

"Have you forgotten Nether Fleet's scheduled arrival location?"

"Commander, what do you mean?"

"Yes, that's what I mean. Send a message to Wang Hai, send him the location of the other party's flagship, and tell him that I have already set up the stage for him. How he wants to perform is all up to him!"

"Yes, Commander!"

At the same time, 2AU away, the exit position of Cosmic Current.

"General Willvis, the opponent's formation has begun to change. According to speculation, they should be preparing to give up part of the defense area to thicken the array in other defense areas!"

In the bridge, the adjutant immediately reported this information to Willvis after Dauntless Fleet began to mobilize.

Frowning, Willvis was a little confused about the other party's tactics.

It stands to reason that the previous hemispherical defense line was definitely the most oppressive deployment for one's own side, but what are you doing now? Have you removed all the defense areas directly in front of you just to strengthen the thickness of the arrays in other surrounding defense areas?

This is somewhat unreasonable!

"General, I think this is an opportunity. No matter what the purpose is, as long as we attack forward now, although we will suffer heavy losses due to the attacks from other surrounding defense zones, the opponent will definitely not have enough time to re-block this gap. We have at least an 80% chance of standing out!"

The deputy looked at his unresponsive general and was a little anxious. The fighter plane disappeared in a flash, so why did he speak again.

In his opinion, even if the other party had any plans, the warships that had gathered here quickly protruded, and the other party would never have enough time to move those fleets back.

Moreover, once you successfully stand out, you can turn around and form a pincer attack on the enemy's defense zone with the fleet coming out of the ocean current. This is definitely a rare opportunity!

How could Willvis not know what the adjutant was thinking? To be honest, he was a little moved.

After all, such opportunities are rare.

But the problem is

What is the vague uneasiness in my heart?
