Chapter 1224: Meeting in the Capital

The capital of the Taotie civilization.

This is a huge fortress city built in a black cavity that can accommodate 300 trillion people at a time and can also station warships of fifty legions.

Even a giant planet would seem tiny in front of it.

The topmost area of ​​the royal capital.

This is the location of the Taotie King Alex and also the power center of the entire Taotie civilization.

In the huge hall, Alex exuded a murderous aura on the throne, so much so that the gluttonous ministers below even breathed carefully, for fear of making too much noise and angering the king who was already angry.

"You are all doing well. Perando was lost yesterday, but in just one day, Diurterus also fell today, and the result was..."

"Until now, no one has been able to tell me who the enemy is?"

"Similarly, no one can come up with an effective method to suppress the enemy!"

"What use do I have for you?"

Looking at the trembling Taotie ministers below, Alex shouted angrily.

In fact, it’s not that these ministers can’t think of any solutions.

When they first discovered the enemy invasion, they thought of many ways to deal with it.

When news just came that Diurth had also fallen, and the enemy had learned about almost half of the habitable planets in Diurth before leaving.

Everyone was stunned.

It took more than a day to get from Perando to Diurteros.

Such a speed instantly rendered all the methods they had previously thought of useless.

At this time, it is difficult to think of a good response strategy.

What is this called?

It’s not that we don’t have the ability, but that the other party is cheating!

"Father, I have an immature idea!"

"Benson? Tell me about it!"

Hearing this, Alex looked in the direction of the voice and found that it was his third son, then nodded and said.

"Father, we have calculated based on the intelligence we have obtained, and the opponent's movement speed has reached the ninth generation black cavity engine in our theory!"

"At this speed, any tactics are meaningless!"

"And judging from the enemy's behavior, this conclusion can also be proved. When we sent out the Fourth Front Army, the enemy used their incredible speed to raid the Fourth Front Army's base, and left before the Fourth Front Army returned!"

"Therefore, I conclude that the other party must have gone to April or Abby, which are the two universes closest to Diurterus!"

"So, the enemy will not fight us head-on, but will use their advantage in speed to harass us thoroughly. I call this a guerrilla harassment war!"

"Father, can you imagine that one year later, except for the four major legions and the capital, which are five places with powerful military forces, all the universes have been slaughtered by the enemy. Then we..."

hiss.

Hearing this, even Alex couldn't help but take a deep breath.

He thought about it carefully and realized that this was not just Benson's random guess, but something that was quite likely to happen.

This enemy.

Very cunning!

"Benson, I understand your speculation and I agree with it. Do you have any corresponding countermeasures?"

"Divide the troops, divide the troops to the maximum extent!"

"Divide the troops?"

Alex frowned slightly.

After all, dividing troops has always been a taboo since ancient times.

"Father, although the enemy has an absolute advantage in speed, we also have our own advantage, which is our military strength!"

"So, chasing after the enemy is undoubtedly using our own weaknesses to attack the enemy's strengths. We can't do this. Instead, we should make good use of our strengths to attack the enemy's weaknesses!"

"As I just said, our advantage lies in our military strength. We have at least a hundred times more troops than the enemy!"

Benson kept talking, and Alex listened carefully.

Generally speaking, this idea seems to be fine, but when it comes to specific actions, there are still problems.

"Benson, even if we divide our forces and make sure each fleet is larger than the other, it will still be useless if we can't keep up with the speed, right?"

"Father, when did I say I would take the initiative?"

"Not taking the initiative?"

"Yes, don't take the initiative!"

Benson nodded and said.

However, these words left Alex and other ministers confused.

If you don't fight the enemy, then what's the point of dividing your forces?

Isn't your plan to divide your forces to the maximum, and then rely on the strong force and number of fleets to coordinate and compress the opponent's movable area until you finally capture them?

"Father, my suggestion is to divide the troops and deploy each force in a universe!"

"Of course, even if we divide our forces, we can't take care of every universe. After all, if we divide our forces too much, and each force is weaker than the enemy's army, wouldn't that be putting the cart before the horse?"

"So, when we divide our forces, we must first think about how much force we can use to fight the enemy. Even if we fail, we can still inflict heavy damage on the enemy."

"However, troops will be divided according to this number and deployed according to the priority of the universe!"

"This way, no matter which universe these invaders want to attack, it won't be as easy as it is now!"

"When the invaders are faced with an army that is larger in number than themselves at every turn"

"Maybe they can defeat one fleet, or even two, or three."

"But it's impossible to win without getting hurt, right?"

"Naturally, the invaders will become weaker and weaker during this battle, and eventually they will no longer be able to attack any universe!"

"So, what we have to do is to divide our forces, and then deploy these dispersed forces to defend various universes!"

It has to be said that Alex was persuaded by Benson.

To put it simply, his tactic is to use his absolute superiority in military strength to force you to confront him head-on.

Even if I can't defeat you, I can at least weaken your strength to the greatest extent, right?

For now, this was the only practical suggestion Alex had heard.

Sure enough, my son is the smartest.

At this moment, Alex has made up his mind to follow the tactics Benson suggested.

Force the other party to come to you!

——

One day later

April was attacked, and the defenders were completely defeated after fighting hard for an hour.

The bloodbath that Diurterus had just done was also carried out in April.

At this moment, an order from Alex was quickly passed to the four major legions and some other large legions.

The order was simple: disperse the entire army into two legions and garrison nearby in the universe.

When the four generals saw the order, they immediately understood the king's intention.

Since I can't catch up, I'll force him to come to me!

Isn’t that the end of it?
