back to Earth

Cheng Zhen didn't tell Leiber or Inver the news of the human army's returning guards. He just contacted them and asked them, as an ally, what their guesses were about the sudden disappearance of the emperor class.

But even if he doesn't say it, it doesn't mean they don't know.

As Rhine's biological younger brother, Leiber obviously understood his brother's thoughts better than ordinary people. Long before Cheng Zhen contacted him, Leiber had anticipated the possibility that Rhine would directly attack the Bertutan army.

Cheng Zhen was a little surprised when he heard the other party say that.He was surprised that since Leiber had already guessed this, why didn't he inform the whole army and let other allied troops return to the main force to escort them.

However, Leiber just shook his head lightly in response to his question.

"It is impossible for him to have only one plan. If he knows that we have seen through the plan, he will definitely adopt a backup strategy that cannot be easily detected by us. In this case, it is better to pretend not to know and let him attack directly. At least if this is the case, our side has already prepared, it is better than him implementing other strategies that we cannot predict."

These two brothers are really extraordinary psychological warfare talents.Cheng Zhenxin secretly admired it, and at the same time wondered whether Rhine had expected it.How will that man attack the Bertutan army?He should have also expected that his surprise attack would be guessed. If so, did Rhine have other preparations?

But Leiber is the same, instead of letting the opponent implement an unpredictable strategy, it is better to pretend that it has not been discovered, and to lure the opponent to implement a strategy that they have long seen through has a better chance of winning.

This kind of psychological warfare, like an endless circle, will eventually return to the same place.

But in this circular circle, it is not yet known who will win in the end.

As for Inver, before Cheng Zhen contacted him, the chief of the third-year Vatican tribe had already spoken.

From what he said, Cheng Zhen knew that the Vatican's assisted troops, like the human army, had already set foot on the return route.After contacting these two allies, Cheng Zhen did not tell them the news that the human army was also returning.In any case, for the human army, this is still semi-blockade news, and it is only circulated among the left-wing troops.

Cheng Zhen, who cooperated with the Golden Clan and the Bertutan Clan in his personal capacity, could not freely leak the semi-secret information belonging to the Human Army.That looks like betrayal.

After putting an end to all contact for a while, Cheng Zhen went straight back to the room to rest.According to the current speed, it is estimated that it will reach the star field where the Bertutan army is located tomorrow.If nothing else, there will be a big battle.It's better to keep your spirits up now.

"Master Rhine, all the arrangements have been prepared according to the plan, do you want to act now?"

The adjutant asked in the battleship Ysu, the fleet directly under the emperor class.

Rhine sat in his original position and asked. "What is the situation with the rest of the Racial Coalition Forces?"

"Yes, as you expected, several troops have already come here, namely the co-combat troops of the Vail tribe, the Lions and humans."

Hearing the last name, Rhine seemed to raise his head slightly, but before anyone could see his expression clearly, His Excellency the United Front Commander asked again. "Are there only these three assisted troops? What about the others?"

"The Carodian army on the left seems to have rejected the instructions of the human army and is still standing firm, while the army headed by the Silver Clan on the right wing has not moved yet."

"..." Interlocking fingers and remaining silent, Rhine ordered after a while. "Order the warships remaining in the original star field to attack the single assisted force. Don't act on the right wing for now."

"Yes!" The adjutant respectfully accepted the order.

Looking at the deep starry sky in front of him, the front is the star field where the Botutan clan's cooperative troops are located, and it is getting closer and closer.Rhine pondered for a moment, then continued. "Send the third and fourth fleets to stop and ambush the three cooperating forces that came to aid. The remaining warships will all turn on the highest speed, and all the battle mechs will be on standby."

"Obey, sir!" Hearing the strong pre-war atmosphere in the order, the adjutant became slightly excited and responded loudly.

The Botutan people are all eager to fight, and they expect to prove their strength through fighting.Therefore, no matter who the enemy ahead is, they will not back down.Even if this battle is aimed at the same race, there will be no hesitation.

Whether it is the side of the assisted troops or the troops directly under the Rhine, they are all looking forward to this confrontation.

At the same time, the Botutan clan's allied forces were stationed in the star field.

"Have you detected any approaching warships?"

Siares asked solemnly.

"Report! Nothing has been found yet, and there is no trace of emperor-level troops in the nearby star field of 100 million miles!" The observation branch of the co-operation force reported.

Hearing the report, Siares couldn't help frowning slightly.According to their previous predictions, the emperor-level army should have set out to make a surprise attack long ago. Judging by the speed of the Bertutan warships, this time should have arrived.

"He probably wouldn't use such a simple method." Leiber, who was standing behind Siares, said suddenly. "Since that person wants to make a surprise attack, he won't use a method that can be easily seen through by us."

Shiaris glanced at him without saying a word.It took a long time before the President Marshal of the Bertutan Alliance gave the order again.

"The whole army is arranged in a Z-shaped formation, immediately!"

"Yes, sir!"

Unlike the human army, Siares is not only a student participating in the battle, but also one of the highest status among all the Bertutans present. Therefore, the ruling power of the entire allied forces is completely in her hands, and there is no disagreement. The cooperative forces have been well integrated.The unity of the Bertutan tribe has always been famous among the stars. When facing the enemy, their steel-like cohesion is one of the reasons why they have won many battles.

But this time, the enemies they faced were none other than their own compatriots.When two armies with the same strong will collide, who will win?

The troops directly under the Rhine were quietly approaching, and although the Botutan assisted troops failed to notice them, they were still on the alert with the highest vigilance.

However, at this time, the human army received an unexpected message.

After a half-day break, all the students reunited in the command room again.Together with Arthur, they received this surprising news.

"Imperial class is going to attack Carodia's troops?" The white-haired commander frowned upon receiving the latest message from his subordinates.

"What's going on? Didn't it mean that the emperor should attack the Botutan troops? Why did they appear in the original area of ​​the left-wing troops?" Someone questioned. "Could it be that all of this is to confuse us and take the opportunity to mobilize the absolute majority of troops to attack the loners?"

Cheng Zhen frowned and thought about it, then slowly shook his head. "I don't think it should be...Your Excellency, can you determine the number of emperor-level troops that attacked Carodia?"

Arthur looked at the subordinate in charge of intelligence collection in the distance, and nodded. "Within 10 minutes, something should be found."

"Then shall we go back? Or to aid the troops of Carodia?" Hongji asked.

"I think this is the opponent's bait. The main force that attacked Carodia was not the main force of the emperor class. It is likely that the opponent deliberately confused us." Cheng Zhen stared. "Now it's time to speed up to the place where the Bertutan troops are stationed. I'm afraid that the emperor-level troops are already very close to it, and they sent troops to attack Carodia at this time, just to confuse our judgment."

"How does your Excellency Commander decide?" Without expressing his opinion, Sean asked Arthur directly.

The commander-in-chief with white hair and red eyes looked at the two men, and then said without hesitation. "Continue to follow the original plan and head towards the Bertutan army station."

At the same time, the human army received an inquiry from the Ryan star troops that followed it.The other party claimed to have received Kalodia's request for assistance and asked if they wanted to return to help.

"Tell them that the human army will not care about their intentions. But our decision is to move on." Arthur said.

The non-commissioned officer who received the order saluted and retreated, replying to the other party.

"Regardless of whether this is the opponent's plan or not, the emperor's allocation of part of the force to attack the Carodia troops also disperses their attack power. But according to this model, it is very likely that we will encounter ambushes along the way." Arthur You muttered something, made a judgment, and then looked up at Cheng Zhen and the others.

"It is likely that they plan to take advantage of the reinforcements being held back by the ambushing troops, and take down the Botutan Alliance Army in one go."

"How is it possible! Even if the opponent is emperor-level, how could the Botutan army, which is the main force, be captured so easily!" Laya said incredulously.

"No, it's very possible." It wasn't Arthur, Cheng Zhen and Sean who interrupted her surprise, but the satellite standing in the corner.

The espionage student from Amlai College held the light screen in his hand for thousands of years and said in a low voice. "Analyzing Rhine Bertutane's past combat methods, his marching style has always been weird and unexpected, and he often likes to take the edge of the sword to win by surprise. According to the current battle situation, and from the analysis of Rhine's personality, this is exactly what he is going to start. A sign of a conspiracy." Putting down the light screen in his hand, Wei Xing looked up at the crowd and said.

"The reason why he took the lead in exposing part of the army to attack Kalodia is probably because of other reasons. If he really decided to send troops to intercept us on the road, it must be because he is sure that we can delay our aid army. Quickly defeat the Bertutan army. This person never does anything he is not sure about." Putting away the light screen in his hand, Satellite Star looked at the crowd and said.

"To be honest, according to the intelligence analysis so far, Rhine Bertutan is a monster with no flaws at all. Once he makes up his mind, he will definitely complete it. What we should pray is that there will be no ambushes on the way Troops. If encountered, it can only prove one thing—”

"That is Rhine who chose to disperse his forces in order to delay us. He must be absolutely sure to defeat the Bertutan army in a very short period of time. Otherwise, he would not do this." It was Cheng Zhen who took over the satellite's words. .After the black-haired boy finished speaking, he continued to meet everyone's surprised gazes.

"Although we don't know what kind of tactics he will use, he is so sure that he can defeat the Bertutan army as soon as possible. But once that happens, it will undoubtedly be extremely unfavorable to us."

"Really? Then should we expect now that His Excellency the Chief of the United Front did not set up an ambush halfway, which means that he does not have full confidence in defeating the Bertutan army under the condition of scattered forces." Sean didn't seem to be nervous at all, and half teased. "However, subconsciously, I always feel that this seems to be an impossible thing. Your Excellency, the United Front Commander, really gives people an absolute aura that cannot be defeated."

"No one is without flaws." Cheng Zhen looked at Sean. "Even Rhine Bertutan has places that are easy to attack, and it's not impossible to conquer."

After finishing speaking, Cheng Zhen turned to look at Arthur, and bowed slightly.

"In order to prevent the worst situation from happening, I have a proposal here, and I hope you can make a judgment after listening."

"Proposal?" The red eyes looked at the black-haired boy, causing waves. "Is that a strategy sufficient to defeat Rhine Bertutan?"

Cheng Zhen didn't confirm but didn't deny it either. Cheng Zhen, who finished the slight salute, just raised his head and said.

"This small suggestion is just to avoid defeat as much as possible. I hope you can adopt it after hearing it."

After a moment of silence, it was Arthur's tone that didn't fluctuate.

"tell me the story."
