Xivil's strategy was simple, and brutal.
If they attacked through a single channel, they would be bottlenecked at the entrance. No matter how great their numerical advantage was, they would be unable to deploy it all at once.
In that case, they would attack from a thousand points simultaneously, using only eighty or ninety legions at each point.
That way, even at the channel entrances, the Imperial fleet could fully deploy its forces.
And the Heretics?
On average, they could only deploy eight legions to defend each channel entrance.
It had to be said that this was an extremely effective tactic designed specifically to counter channel-defense warfare.
It maximized their advantage in troop numbers while minimizing the enemy's terrain advantage.
However, there was a problem here.
That was...
What if the Heretics launched another reverse-crossing operation during this process?

That would be troublesome. What if the Heretics truly concentrated their forces for a reverse-crossing operation?
How would they defend?
Wouldn't the enemy simply destroy the Cross-border Devices one by one, exiling all ninety thousand-plus legions?

However, after hearing Orix's question, Xivil remained utterly confident.
"Your Majesty, have you forgotten the tactic the Heretics used before?"
"The tactic the Heretics used before? You mean..."
"Yes, Your
