This Gretchin assistant he randomly picked up on Carl II unexpectedly gained Ragnar's trust at this time.

"It's alright, he won't become our enemy, don't worry."

Considering the overwhelming level of affection Toothy had for him, he was confident he could turn the other side against him at any time.

"Good!"

Seeing Lynn's confident demeanor, Rena didn't say much, but simply gently took Lynn's hand.

No matter what danger they encounter, or who becomes their enemy, she will stay by Lynn's side.

The planet Dorito is only a day and a half away from the Carl II Space Station.

The Imperial Fleet sailed at top speed and arrived at the outskirts of the Dorito System in just one day.

Just then, the detector ahead sounded an alarm.

"Report! A large number of Orks warships have been spotted, approximately two hundred in number!"

Dominic immediately walked up to the holographic star map and looked at the scattered red dots on it.

According to the data, the Orks ' fleet was very dispersed.

Two hundred Orks warships were scattered sparsely in the orbit above Dorito, Dorito it from all directions.

Most of the warships were concentrated on the front of Dorito, with a few patrolling the sides and rear.

It seems they intend to use a dispersed formation to divert the Imperial Fleet's firepower, delay the Imperial Fleet's attack, and give the Orks on the ground a chance to prepare.

"This kind of outdated tactic is actually being used?" Dominic scoffed, a disdainful smile on his face.

"You think you can stop me by scattering your fleet? How naive."

But after hesitating for a moment, he still opened the communication with Lynn.

Having learned his lesson from the last time, he felt that he should listen to Lynn's opinion before making any major decisions.

"Governor Kerry, did you see that? The Orks have dispersed their fleet," Dominic said bluntly.

"I think they're trying to divert our firepower, buy time, and give the ground-based Orks a chance to develop."

"I'm not going to give them that chance." Dominic's tone became firm.

"My plan is to concentrate all our forces and charge in one direction to break through the Orks ' defenses and reach the skies above Dorito."

"We then used naval gunfire to severely damage their starport, workshops, farms, and leader buildings."

"Let them lose the right to wage a war of attrition against us."

"As for the potential attacks from Orks warships from all directions along the way, I plan to have the Gemstone and three battlecruisers form a core firepower group to clear the path."

"The remaining cruisers and frigates were positioned around the strike group, responsible for protecting the fleet's flanks and rear."

"I just had the Tech-Priest do a rough calculation of the Orks fleet's density."

"With our firepower, it would be incredibly difficult for the surrounding Orks warships to get close to us."

This plan can be described as reckless and insane.

Concentrating all main forces and venturing deep into enemy territory alone would have disastrous consequences if the Orks fleet surrounded them.

However, this plan is not without its rationality.

Although the Orks ' fleet was numerous, its quality varied greatly, and it was too scattered to form an effective encirclement in a short period of time.

If the Imperial Fleet's assault speed is fast enough, it can break through the defenses and reach the skies above Duolidi before the Orks fleet can assemble.

Lynn didn't answer immediately, but looked at Rena beside her.

Rena closed her eyes, her mind racing.

Countless data points flashed through her mind.

The number of warships on both sides, their firepower, speed, armor thickness, the distribution density of the Orks fleet, and possible reaction time...

Just two seconds later, Rena opened her eyes and nodded at Lynn.

"The plan is feasible."

"According to this tactic, our ship loss rate is about 10%, but the probability of successfully breaking through the defenses and destroying ground targets is 89%, which is currently the optimal solution."

Lynn for a moment, then spoke into the communicator to Dominic:

"Lord Dominic, I think this plan is excellent."

"Concentrating forces and making a rapid breakthrough is indeed the best way to deal with the Orks ' dispersed formation."

"However, there are two things I must remind you of," Lynn's tone became serious.

First and foremost, you absolutely mustn't get carried away.

"Our objective is to destroy the Orks ' key ground facilities, not to engage in a decisive battle with the Orks fleet."

"Once the objective is achieved, retreat immediately and regroup."

"Otherwise, if we are completely surrounded by the Orks fleet and our supplies are cut off, we could very well be trapped and die over Dorito."

"Secondly, I have a feeling that the Orks ' tactics this time are a bit strange."

"This is exactly what we expected; it's like they deliberately showed us a flaw."

"We must always be on guard against our escape route; we can't let the Orks cut off our communication with Carl II."

Dominic listened and nodded knowingly.

He was only thinking about how to break through quickly and destroy the Orks ground targets to achieve results; he really didn't think much about what was happening behind the scenes.

If, as Lynn said, the Orks deliberately created an opening to lure them deeper, and then sent a fleet to cut off their retreat, then they would be in real danger.

"I will heed your advice, Governor Kerry," Dominic said, still shaken.

At the same time, he was glad that he had asked Lynn, otherwise he might have acted impulsively and acted without considering the consequences.

He immediately turned to his adjutant and said:

"Pass down the order to immediately strengthen security around the Carl II Space Station and the supply routes."

"All troops remaining on the Carl II have been deployed to patrol the entire flight path."

"If any suspicious Orks fleet is spotted, do not engage in combat; report to me immediately."

"At the same time, inform the remaining troops that if they find the situation is not right, they can abandon the Carl II Space Station immediately."

"Anyway, it's just an abandoned space station, nothing to regret. As long as we preserve our manpower and wait for the main force to return to reinforce us, that's fine."

"Yes, sir!" The adjutant immediately turned to relay the order.

"Alright, prepare for the attack, Governor Kerry!" Dominic's eyes sharpened.

"Let these Orks bastards taste the Emperor's wrath!"

"Good."

The communication ended, Dominic took a deep breath, issuing the order for a general attack to all warships:

"Attention all warships! Form assault formation and advance at full speed!"

"Yes, sir!"
