"Commander Altra, what happened?"
Seeing Altra's expression suddenly change before him, Lin Fan asked.
"It's that damned Fario Civilization. He betrayed us again and secretly let the Sun River Empire's fleet into our rear!"
"But I don't understand. What motive did he have for betraying us? If our Anti-Sun River Alliance failed, did he really think the Sun River Empire would spare him?"
"As far as I know, Nevitt isn't that stupid!"
Altra was practically losing his mind.
However, Lin Fan more or less understood why the Fario Civilization had chosen to betray them at this moment. Or rather, before the Federation intervened in this battle, the think tank's various simulations had already produced many outcomes where the Fario Civilization suddenly switched to the Sun River Empire's side.
"Commander Altra, I can roughly understand the reason behind the Fario Civilization's betrayal, but the most important thing now is to preserve as much of your remaining strength as possible and assemble it here with me!"
"If the Sun River Empire wants that territory, give it to them. There's no need to fight them head-on. Just treat it as trading territory for territory!"
For Lin Fan, excessive losses by the Divine Radiance Civilization and the Gem Empire would disrupt his entire plan.
As had been said before, the Federation could hold an absolute advantage in small-scale local battlefields, but in large-scale warfare, the Federation was at an absolute disadvantage.
After all, the issue of numbers was right there.
Therefore, Lin Fan needed the strength of those two Super Civilizations to make up for the absolute gap in the number of top-tier combat forces during the large-scale battles to come.
Besides, once your rear had been breached, the fleets on the front lines would immediately face the danger of their supply lines being
