After being deceived by all sorts of tactics, it was no longer so easy for Lin Yu to trick the Noreya Empire's commanders again.
Although he still achieved some results in the next round of Chaos Ray attacks through various methods,
the results were clearly far smaller than in the previous rounds.
But that did not matter. Over the past two days, Lin Yu had already exceeded his combat objectives, attacking and destroying 1,578 Noreya Empire legions.
Combined with the losses at the first line of defense, after fifty-six hours of war, the Noreya Empire had lost nearly 2,000 legions.
Meanwhile, the Alliance had lost fewer than 500 legions, bringing the overall casualty ratio close to 1:4.
While terrain had played a role, such a high casualty ratio would normally have been impossible. It was mainly because Wang Hai and Lin Yu had used all kinds of tactics to deceive the enemy, maximizing the effectiveness of the devastating weapon in their hands—the Chaos Ray Carriers.
That was what had inflicted so many additional losses upon the Noreya Empire.
Otherwise, relying solely on the fleets, achieving a 1:2 casualty ratio would already have been cause for celebration.
After the battle at the second line of defense had continued for two days, Lin Yu decisively abandoned the defensive line on Lin Yu's orders.
The enemy fleet had once again gathered more than 500 legions. If they continued holding this position,
then unless Lin Yu found a way to trick the Noreya Empire again and wipe out two or three hundred legions at once with Chaos Rays,
the Alliance would gain no advantage at all. The battle could only turn into a complete 1:1 war of attrition.
There was no point in that.
The third line of defense.
It consisted of 600
