Three days later, the nearly thousand warships assembled at Watchtower Star set out, heading for the front in a vast armada...
Nie Yun stood at the viewport, looking out at the enormous fleet stretching as far as the eye could see.
"Looks like... they want to give the other side a surprise..."
A fleet this large would never have been committed all at once under normal deployment procedures unless it was deliberate. Clearly, the Twin Stars had held back several waves of reinforcements to conceal their strength, preparing to surprise the enemy with one massive push.
His gaze shifted to an independent fleet of roughly five hundred ships behind the main force.
A vast curtain of pale blue light slowly spread like an aurora, and the warships within it gradually faded from view.
Hundreds of warships activated their optical camouflage simultaneously. After a shimmer of glassy light, the entire fleet vanished from sight...
"Tactical assessment complete. The Twin Stars are using a special formation of their main fleet to generate a gravitational wake, covering the stealth fleet behind them as it advances undetected. A fleet within this gravitational wake has a significantly lower probability of detection by radar scans from the front!"
Codename opened a hand and projected a virtual image, showing Nie Yun a visual representation of the gravitational wake. The stealth fleet behind them traveled perfectly concealed within the spiraling wake.
"Hmm? An advanced stealth skill..." Nie Yun raised his eyebrows with interest.
As expected of a long-established interstellar civilization, they could even evade the enemy's Gravity Radar this way.
With one fleet visible and the other hidden, even if the Wulf Civilization discovered them in advance, it would undoubtedly be misled into misjudging their true strength, making the attack all the more unexpected!
Still, this concealment tactic
