"So the Mist Butterfly Civilization will only send part of its forces here at the last minute, once we clearly launch an offensive in this star region.
And they'll mainly rely on guerrilla warfare."
Wang Guannan said, suddenly understanding.
"By comparison, the Kindling Human Civilization not only has the technology to expand and stabilize natural wormhole routes, but also mature technology for constructing Star Gates.
That gives them a generational technological advantage!
And, in turn, makes it easy for them to seize the initiative in their war with the Mist Butterfly Civilization!"
Wang Dong nodded slightly, agreeing with Wang Guannan.
Then he added, "But that situation will only apply outside the Mist Butterfly Civilization's main territory.
Once we advance deep into the territory controlled by the Mist Butterfly Civilization, its extensive transportation network will greatly narrow that gap.
At that point, the newly formed outer battlefield will certainly see a sharp rise in the intensity and scale of the fighting.
It won't be minor skirmishes between D-class or C-class forces anymore.
After all, the Mist Butterfly Civilization is a Level 9 Civilization, one of the best among High Civilizations. It can't be utterly helpless."
"Looks like there's no suspense in this battle," Lieba sighed.
"With the Forward Base's full strength against a Mist Butterfly Civilization base lacking reinforcements, it's a sure win!"
Everyone laughed.
They all understood that Lieba was simply disappointed that he was itching for a fight, but there wasn't one for him.
"Not necessarily.
That Mist Butterfly Civilization main base has thirty-five Six-winged Mist Butterfly Warships, not to mention those Armed War Stars.
Even if the Forward Base sends out every ship it has, swallowing the whole base won't be easy.
There should be a real fight.
We might even get a chance to contribute."
