"Only realizing it now? Too late!"
After listening to Liang Xue's report and learning of the movements of the Taotie garrisons across the various universes, Lin Fan spoke.
"Notify the other three fronts to speed up their attacks. Forget about battlefield cleanup—we can sweep through them again after the war!"
"Understood!"
Liang Xue nodded and went to relay the order.
Previously, after defeating the Taotie defenders in each universe, the fleets had needed to pursue and completely eliminate the scattered warships, wasting considerable time.
But Lin Fan's current intent was clear.
As long as they defeated the defenders, they would ignore the fleeing ships and move directly on to the next universe.
This would more than double their offensive efficiency. Operations that had originally required two months could now be completed in one.
As for the remaining Taotie fleets that had not been cleared out in those universes, they could deal with them one by one after the war.
And so—
Alex discovered in shock that reports of one or two universes falling each day had suddenly become reports of two or three, with intelligence sometimes arriving that four universes had fallen on the same day.

Without Alex's approval, how could that plan ever have been implemented?
So Benson had merely proposed a flawed plan, while the one truly responsible was Alex
