Chapter 1534: Chapter 500: The Art of Taking the Fall (6k)_3
But upon hearing Bai Yiâs proposal, the high-rankings in front of her clearly didnât see the problem as she did and all showed interest.
However, now was obviously not the time for discussion. After Bai Yi arrived, the remaining high-rankings quickly gathered.
Sisos promptly got to the main point.
"Ahem, everyone should already know our target for this mission.
Before you arrived, I had already sent out reconnaissance forces to scout the area, and as the Three Great Civilizations mentioned, that planet seems to be particularly important.
A large number of fleets have already gathered around, covering a significant area with surveillance.
Using the âGate of Ten Thousand Worldsâ to arrive as we did last time is no longer feasible.
The Churchâs fleet wonât give us the opportunity to set up, so if we want to strike this time, weâll have to choose to jump."
"Just tell us, whatâs the plan?"
An 8th Rank Martial Artist waved his hand, interrupting Sisosâ introduction and asked directly.
Many among the others nodded in agreement, since they were all here not to hear Sisos beat around the bush.
"A collective fleet jump wonât allow us to arrive simultaneously, which means we must have a fleet arrive first to establish a temporary defensive line on the periphery to cover the subsequent fleets as they reach the battlefield.
This process will be quick, and because itâs on the edge of the Churchâs alert range, the firepower wonât be too strong.
But there will inevitably be a brief period of isolation and lack of support, resulting in some losses."
With Sisosâ explanation, the surrounding high-rankings understood that they also needed a sacrificial vanguard fleet.
Thinking of this, all eyes instinctively focused on Bai Yi.
In fact, they didnât need to; Bai Yi also realized that this was exactly what she wantedâa chance to deliberately offer herself as bait!
Of course, Bai Yi didnât show any excitement, simply pretending to think for a moment before tapping the table with her hand and saying:
"My fleet will act as the vanguard. Itâs just as well my fleet has been expanded recently, so it can take on this duty.
Iâll also be going, to prevent any interference from the enemyâs High-level Strong Persons."
Upon saying this, the surrounding high-level strong persons visibly softened their gazes.
"Donât worry, Lord Fanmao is willing to take on this important task, and after the battle, we will surely apply for an additional contribution for you!
Letâs continue with the remaining plansâonce the vanguard arrives..."
With Bai Yiâs commitment, Sisos began to arrange the upcoming battle, and ten minutes later, Bai Yi had returned to her warship.
Having learned earlier that she had a reason to act as cannon fodder, Bai Yi was already planning. Back on the warship, she immediately ordered:
"The plan has changed. This time, weâve been assigned the task of leading the chargeâitâs a great chance to provide a scapegoat!
Dispatch the additional fleet manufactured this time to serve as cannon fodder. Have the Undead there prepare and deploy all the witches!
The rest of the fleet will stand by, serving as the main offensive force in the ensuing conflict."
With this, the entire fleet leveraged the advantage of their network, operating like a precise machine and realigning in under a minute.
Without needing orders from Bai Yi, after notifying the other fleets, the fleet entered jump status, transforming into a streak of light and swiftly disappearing from this part of the starry sky.
The target this time wasnât too far, at least not for a jump, merely a matter of ten minutes or less.
In the outer space near the target planet, on an ordinary-looking warship
a female Bishop in a white robe suddenly opened her eyes from meditation, turning to the other high-level strong persons in the main control room, urgently reminding them.
"Theyâve come!"
The other high-level strong persons present were already awaiting her signal, immediately realizing this was a warning of an assault by the Three Great Civilizations.
Although churches have their own prides and quarrels over similar domains, they never doubt their own professional expertise.
No one dared to question the prophecy of the Believers of [Eternal], so the bishop commanding this battlefield immediately ordered the fleet.
"All fleets, switch to combat status immediately! Initiate level 1 alert!"
However, they didnât expect the enemy to arrive so soon.
No sooner had the bishop spoken than she looked up at the vast starry sky, where a large flash of light rapidly enlarged from the horizon and, in a heartbeat, breached their alert perimeter.
"This is bad, itâs a warship jump!
Everyone, open fire at will! Bring down that fleet for me!"
The commander shouted on the fleetâs communication channel.
Thanks to the earlier warning, some of the surrounding warships had reacted in time, quickly firing a large number of small-caliber ship cannons.
The first batch of fleets, having just completed their jump and before they could deploy shields, collided head-on with high-energy beams.
Even though these werenât the high-powered main cannons, they were absolutely lethal to warships without their shields deployed.
This is why Sisos needed the fleet to provide preliminary cover; otherwise, a direct jump would make them the weakest targets.
The intense high-energy beams and energy bullets burst into a series of magic light balls on those warships, with the raging magic storm easily tearing them apart.
