Although Hai Suomiao and Yan Lanxi had intensified patrols of the Barren Sea and arranged their forces more strategically, they had still failed to detect the enemy's approach and were successfully ambushed. The attackers pushed all the way to the Barren Sea's third line of defense.
Simply because the enemy's firepower was too fierce.
The enemy's weapons loadout far exceeded Hai Suomiao's expectations. It was utterly illogical.
How could their kin wandering along the Barren Sea's borders possibly obtain so many advanced weapons?
With their military strength, research capabilities, and manufacturing capacity, they could not possibly produce large-scale weapons of such destructive power.
Their manpower, resources, and technological development all fell short of Miu Run's standards, much less surpassed the Alliance's.
Therefore, Hai Suomiao guessed that someone was supplying them with weapons behind the scenes.
Their current weapons stockpile could only last another three days. They had to find a way to drive these people out of the Barren Sea within that time.
Yan Lanxi, Shaliya, and some Miu Run people stationed in the Barren Sea had been observing the enemy's movements alongside Hai Suomiao.
They searched for an opportunity to crush them in one stroke, but the enemy was clearly experienced.
The formation of their Starships, their weapon launches, range, and trajectories—every detail was precise.
Seeing that the enemy was about to enter the Barren Sea's fourth line of defense, Yan Lanxi felt they could try taking the initiative. "Miao Miao, I'll lead some people out through our route and drive them inward. We can attack them from both sides."
"No. If they have a machine that can transport them anywhere at high speed, our situation will become even more difficult." Hai Suomiao rejected Yan Lanxi's strategy outright. She had to consider more factors.
"Then what do we do?"
