Chapter 1662: Chapter 646: The Suspicion Chain and the Optimal Solution, Hundred Emperors and Shi Lin

Twenty Mother Empress Ships, two planet-level Intelligent Machinery, and two planet-level Spirit Demon Race.

A total of twenty-four powerful entities from three different human factions are gathered together in the information flow network to discuss an important issue.

They are discussing the upcoming attack plan.

If this were a purely military force composed of only one faction, there would be no need for discussion to make a decision.

Whether it is the Sublimers or the other two factions, they each have their own absolute authoritarian system, requiring only the higher-ups to make decisions, while the subordinates must execute them strictly without discussion.

However, once the three factions unite, some disagreements and disputes are inevitable.

For instance, the Spirit Demon Race’s current idea is to ignore everything and directly charge towards the Red Blade Army’s camp.

The Spirit Demon Race believes that against such a freely moving enemy that fights when they can win and runs when they can’t, without any scruples, the fancier the tactics, the easier it is to counter and target.

Thus, the best plan is actually no plan at all, just keep charging.

Maybe the Red Blade Army will run, and there’s nothing to do about it, just have to accept it.

But if the Red Blade Army stays to exchange blows, there’s a chance to rout them in one charge.

However, the Wise Man from the Pilgrim faction has a different opinion.

After comprehensive calculations, the Wise Man believes the Red Blade Army is also prepared to flee, but they do not intend to escape without a fight. Instead, they plan to engage as they did in the Seventh Star Cluster, trying to see if they can gain some benefit and then decide accordingly based on the situation.

Therefore, the Wise Man proposed that they are willing to contribute a new type of stealth technology to help the Expeditionary Army quietly disperse first, then slowly approach from all directions, and suddenly launch an action to fully encircle the Red Blade Army’s base.

The Wise Man analyzed the Red Blade Army’s freedom Fold Jump technology and found the flaw in this seemingly invincible technology, which is the acceleration phase.

The massive and heavy Planet Ships and Fortress Ships must undergo a relatively long period of continuous acceleration to enter subspace flight. This acceleration distance must be at least ten light years.

So if they can stealthily shrink the encirclement into a sphere with a radius less than ten light years, they have the chance to intercept the Red Blade Army before they all jump into subspace. Even if they cannot annihilate the enemy due to the dispersed forces, they can at least inflict significant damage.

It must be said that the Pilgrim faction caught the key point. In a sense, this is indeed a feasible plan.

The only flaw in this plan is that the Wise Man misestimated the Red Blade Army’s technological advancement speed.

The Source Star Ship once took over a hundred years to accelerate, with an acceleration distance of more than fifty light years.

When the Red Blade Army left the Seventh Star Cluster, with technological advancement, the acceleration distance was reduced to fifteen light years.

The Wise Man is now considering an acceleration distance of ten light years, which can already be called "conservative," greatly overestimating the Red Blade Army’s research prowess, but in fact, it is still underestimated, as they only need three light years.

Of course, to realize the Wise Man’s plan, they must leave a large enough scale "army" on the original route as bait for frontal advance, requiring the sacrifice of the Mother Empress Ships, consuming energy and materials accumulated in the "humps" to create a sufficient number of large but hollow decoys as "feigned troops."

However, the Wise Man’s scheme was met with united opposition from the Mother Empress Ships. On one hand, these selfish, long-lived lives are unwilling to part with their hard-earned savings, and on the other hand, if they cannot annihilate the Red Blade Army, merely causing certain casualties is meaningless compared to not fighting at all; the huge encirclement would instead endanger the Hundred Emperors.

During the Red Blade Army’s breakout process, their side would inevitably suffer heavy losses due to the weaker forces in the region.

The Sublimers, who have had the most dealings with the Red Blade Army, have deeply felt this enemy’s cunning and strength.

Based on the intelligence provided by the Hundred Emperors, the Red Blade Army truly has no intention of fleeing and is still constructing megalithic structures in place, seemingly intending to stay and have a showdown with the Expeditionary Army, somewhat akin to waiting quietly for the enemy.

Therefore, they must either just put on a show to scare the Red Blade Army away or create an opportunity to annihilate the enemy completely.

Hence, the idea from the Sublimers is more interesting, deriving from the Wise Man’s suggestion but with greater reference value.

The Sublimers decided to leave only one Mother Empress Ship to continue advancing along a straight line for frontal assault.
