Once he had pieced the whole matter together, even Bater was frightened by his own conclusions.
They could cross thirty Black Hole Cavity Realms at once in just three months.
And it could be used without limit, unlike the Black Hole Gate, which required an enormous price.
After all, hadn't the Heretics needed to cross roughly sixty times in succession to get here?
What did that represent?
It meant the Heretics possessed an absolute speed advantage. As long as they did not wish it, he would have no way of catching them.
There were only two ways to break this deadlock.
One was to ignore their fleets and strike directly at their homeland.
The other was to deploy enough forces throughout every Black Hole Cavity Realm, ensuring that they would pay a massive price no matter where they attacked.
But clearly, the Empire's current fleet was nowhere near enough for the second method!
And never mind the fleets left behind; even if the 150,000 legions stationed far away could be recalled immediately, it still would not be enough.
Therefore, if the Empire wished to escape this predicament, it could only use the first method: strike directly at their homeland!
No matter what, the Dasaross Empire possessed territory spanning more than three hundred Black Hole Cavity Realms. Even if the Heretics wanted to defeat the Empire, it was absolutely not something they could accomplish in such a short time.
Bater remained confident about that.

Then the main force invading the Empire would have no choice but to retreat to its homeland immediately.
That would give the Empire time to regroup and raise more troops.
So everything still depended on the expeditionary
