Arrangement

"Has the Zerg not reacted yet?"

With such a large-scale military operation underway, especially in the open void, it was impossible to conceal. As the target of this operation, the Zerg's response naturally attracted everyone's attention.

"One thing, according to intelligence from the front lines, the Zerg's small combat units have been more active, but those above 500 meters have not made a move yet."

"Are they really not going to resist?" Although their racial characteristics are eccentric, this is due to genetic information and social structure, and does not mean that the Lashudia Clan are lacking in intelligence.

If they weren't intellectually challenged, they wouldn't have reached their current level. They know perfectly well which forces they can provoke, which forces they can ignore, and which forces they can't afford to offend.

The foreign tribes at the front lines are all civilizations from the middle and outer circles. Only one of them has interacted with them on the border; the others are completely unrelated and have no connection whatsoever.

These races, in terms of raw power, are no match for them. But in terms of connections, the Lashudia Clan, under the threat of the Stellar Bomb, forcibly integrated the frontline Coalition Army, acting as henchmen and spies for the Epoch Clan and the Inner-Ring Civilizations —this is an immense favor.

Even if all the outer and Mid-Ring Civilizations united, could they possibly be inferior to the Epoch Clan plus the Inner-Ring Civilizations? This protest and impeachment is a perfect example.

Moreover, this wasn't the only time. In the eyes of other tribes, the Lashudia Clan was nothing more than lunatics, mad dogs, someone anyone could bite without hesitation. They were a sharp knife, and the dirty and tiring work that some of the Alliance's higher-ups were unwilling to do could be handed over to the Lashudia Clan.

Therefore, for the Epoch Clan and those Inner-Ring Civilizations, the Lashudia Clan was far more useful than other outer tribes. And with the support of the Epoch Clan and the Inner-Ring Civilizations, what use were the networks of relationships between other Outer-Ring Civilizations and Mid-Ring Civilizations?

The Lashudia Clan understand this very clearly, which is why, despite hundreds of thousands of years of slander, Lashudia Clan have survived and are thriving, growing stronger and stronger.

The notion that the Mid-Ring Civilizations is the strongest, that it is dissatisfied with the Inner-Ring Civilizations, and that it wants to become the new Inner-Ring Civilizations, are all just personas created by the earliest leaders of the Lashudia Clan for the sake of their race's survival.

But with generations passing down the knowledge, only heaven knows how many Lashudia Clan still know about this.

According to Conrads, at least 99.9% of the Lashudia Clan are unaware of these things. They have long since become so entangled in the role that they have truly become what they are portraying.

Therefore, although this attack on the Zerg was secretly orchestrated by the Alliance's higher-ups, this first victory was equally important for the Lashudia Clan.

Conrads, as the commander-in-chief of the Lashudia Clan front, was under great pressure. The Zerg's strange calm had fueled various speculations, which Conrads initially scoffed at.

But as the possibilities narrowed down, only a few remained. Ultimately, the Stellar Bomb emerged as the most popular due to its logical consistency and relevance to reality. Even Conrads himself began to have doubts: Did the Zerg really intend to destroy a star, perishing together with them?

As support grew, speculation gradually turned into certainty, and people began to firmly believe that the Zerg were indeed developing Stellar Bomb. This atmosphere influenced Conrads on an even deeper level, and gradually, he also came to believe this claim.

As the commander of this battle, he understood that too many races were waiting to see him make a fool of himself. The current situation was extremely difficult; advancing or retreating would both lead to an awkward outcome.

But if they advance, there's a possibility of victory; if they retreat, they lose everything. Therefore, in Conrads' view, there was only one option.

To counter the Zerg's Stellar Bomb program, Conrads racked his brains, and with the help of his fellow Mowei, Movi, he finally came up with a good solution.

While Stellar Bomb are incredibly powerful, their weakness is also quite obvious: the ripple effect of the explosion cannot exceed the speed of light. In other words, at the moment of a star's explosion, as long as they are fast enough, even the most powerful explosion will not affect them.

A stellar explosion cannot happen in an instant; there must be some significant events preceding it. As long as the timing is right, the damage can be minimized.

In principle, the fewer warships deployed in this mission, the better, because too many warships will interfere with each other, and the number of warp drive channels per unit area is limited. Only a fixed number of warships can enter warp space per unit of time; too many warships will lead to queuing.

At this point, Conrads also realized that the Zerg's plan to launch the Stellar Bomb and their continuous reinforcement of troops into the star system were not only intended to mislead the Coalition Army. Another purpose was to drag more Coalition Army into the conflict.

Because if the Zerg forces are too small, a small number of troops, or even just the Lashudia Clan themselves, could force the Zerg to activate their Stellar Bomb. With the performance of the Lashudia Clan warships and their ample shipping lanes, they could even secure this first victory without taking any damage, and the honor they would receive would be multiplied exponentially.

But such a good thing can only be dreamed of. The Zerg have deployed more than four billion troops in the No. 1 Star System. Although the difference in individual strength has reduced this number somewhat, it is by no means something that the mere two hundred million troops of the Lashudia Clan race can shake.

If they wanted to gain the upper hand in the battle and force the Zerg to activate their Stellar Bomb, Conrads calculated that at least 80% of the Mid-Ring Civilizations fleet would have to be deployed.

Of course, why make it 80% for such a good thing? That would be unfair, wouldn't it? What would those who weren't selected think? What would those from the Outer-Ring Civilizations think? Therefore, this matter must be handled equally, ensuring that all members of the Coalition Army experience a strong sense of participation.

However, with the help of his own kind, Conrads had some clever tricks up his sleeve regarding the formation. He placed the Lashudia Clan troops at the very front, while the fleets of the other Mid-Ring Civilizations were arranged in order to the sides. Then he placed the Outer-Ring Civilizations' troops behind the Mid-Ring Civilizations, but the Lashudia Clan side was left empty.

Conrads claimed this was to strengthen their forces. As for why the Lashudia Clan wasn't included, the Lashudia Clan was in the most dangerous position, and no Outer-Ring Civilizations had the strength to act as their backup.

However, this does not mean they have no backup. They still have the supervisory team, which will act as reinforcements should the vanguard of Lashudia encounter a crisis.

Warships of the same origin have no need to worry about coordination issues; the supervisory team is the best reinforcement.
