"I think the Beast Tamer Alliance won't set the final battlefield in the node star system ahead.
Instead, they'll place it in their home star system.
There are two reasons for this.
First.
Although conventional superluminal jumps must pass through node star systems, using their massive stars to travel efficiently at superluminal speeds,
not every method of superluminal travel requires this approach.
The Beast Tamer Alliance can't have overlooked that.
If they deploy their main forces in the node star system ahead,
and we bypass it and head straight for their home star system,
the consequences would be unthinkable.
Second.
A Level 10 transcendent star beast is already incredibly powerful in its own right.
It's unlikely to be accidentally injured in battle.
All things considered, given that the Beast Tamer Alliance has one-sided access to information about our ship,
they'll most likely gather their forces and defend their home star system."
Liu Zhi spoke first without hesitation.
Wang Dong nodded slightly.
Liu Zhi had always been meticulous.
His ability also gave him sharper instincts than most people.
"I think the odds of the Beast Tamer Alliance defending its home star system versus deploying forces in advance at the node star system ahead are about six to four.
Defending the home star system is somewhat more likely, but it's hardly certain."
Wu Baiyi pondered for a moment, then spoke as well.
"The intelligence says that Level 10 transcendent star beast has reached the twilight of its life.
Under these circumstances, any unnecessary disturbance could shorten its already limited lifespan even further!
If they choose to fight inside their home star system,
given the combat power our ship has displayed,
the Beast Tamer Alliance can't possibly fail to realize that a large-scale battle would inevitably disturb that Level 10 transcendent star beast.
