Besides those killed in battle, there were also the reinforcements that had been added.
At present, Toreya had roughly 4.5 million Black Hole Lifeforms under his command.
Of course, nearly 3 million of them were only at the First Tier, but even so, there were still more than 1.5 million Black Hole Lifeforms at the Second Tier or above, weren't there?
Meanwhile, the Federation currently had fewer than a million.
For this battle, Toreya had divided the Black Hole Lifeforms' forces into four parts.
Five hundred thousand remained in the Tuhr Realm, together with the 25 million legions, guarding the Cross-border Device against any contingency.
As for the remaining 4 million, they had been formed into four Black Hole combat groups. The First and Second Groups accompanied the mobile Imperial Palace.
The remaining two groups had been deployed at two separate nodes of the fleet.
And what had arrived now was precisely the Third Black Hole Combat Group at the first node.
"Eight hundred thousand Black Hole Lifeforms?"
"Yes, Commander!"
"Order every fleet on the first line of defense to immediately withdraw from the line and fall back to the second line. At the same time, focus all firepower on the enemy's Black Hole Lifeforms. Ignore their warships!"
"Also, order the Civilization Guardian Legion forward to protect our fleets during their withdrawal!"
"Lastly, send a message to headquarters and request authorization to use Chaos Six!"
Without wasting nearly any time thinking, Lin Yu issued a string of orders.
Eight hundred thousand Black Hole Lifeforms was no small number. Even if more than half of them were at the First Tier, they could not simply throw the Civilization Guardian Legion into a head-on clash.
Otherwise, even if they won, the Federation would lose at least 100,000 to 150,000 personnel.
That
