Chapter 978: Qin Ge's Reaction

While the battle was underway in Sea Area E, Qin Ge's side was also not idle at all.

"Commander, what do you think of the report on Bisimai?" Zhenhai asked, gathering the previous reports while questioning Qin Ge, who was looking at the sea chart after hearing the report.

Qin Ge nodded at the sea chart, saying, "Bisimai's decision was correct. After entering the sea area, I also realized that we cannot quickly take control of this sea area, so to sustain prolonged operations, establishing a maritime supply line is very important."

However, it seems that choosing the most special fortress in the sea area as the target, with Bisimai serving as the supply point, would entail enormous pressure, but given her strength there, she should be able to make the appropriate response.

"But it looks a bit risky; actually the best approach is to advance step by step, consolidating as we go, which would resolve interference along the route and also avoid the situation where, when attacking that special fortress, the surrounding fortresses would provide large-scale support."

This way we can concentrate firepower and better capture that fortress, without having to bear enemies from all sides during the assault and then split our fire." Zhenhai said.

"Hehe, our attack itself is inherently a very risky endeavor. Although I agree with what you said, Zhenhai, on the battlefield, as the commander, each person's personality differs, leading to completely different decisions."

I cannot blame Bisimai for not following the decision we imagined and claim her command is flawed. On the contrary, she surely considered the previous decision and thought that doing it that way might require more time.

And the order I originally gave her was precisely to complete her side's assault in the shortest possible time, so this also has an effect." Qin Ge said apologetically.

"Indeed, this has that effect. Bisimai's personality… I worry that if they attack the special fortress, they will encounter an Arbiter." Zhenhai said.

"Isn't encountering an Arbiter normal?" Hai Lun Na laughed beside him, "If a garrison fortress in a sea area had no Arbiter to hold it down, that would be too presumptuous.

Moreover, even if they did encounter one, you need not worry, for there is a Flying Dragon there; they have been fighting the Arbiters for a long time, and we believe that with their strength, even facing one or two Arbiters would not be a major problem."

"What Hai Lun Na said is right; encountering an Arbiters has been a certainty from the very beginning. If Bisimai failed to consider it, I would absolutely not believe it.

So I think we can relax now, and correspondingly we need to take action on our side. After all, if the Sirens feel our offensive pace here is too slow, dispatching more Arbiters to that side would only increase the pressure on them." Qin Ge said.

"Are we conducting a power containment?" However, with our strength here, we cannot directly assault the Siren fortress in Sea Area A." Zhenhai laughed.

"Of course we won't directly attack the Siren fortress in Sea Area A; the strategy we previously proposed is quite feasible. That is to advance with balanced force, while the breakthrough direction is toward the Sea Area A fortress."

Such an action should draw the Sirens' attention, making them think we, like Bisimai's side, will also carry out related assaults on the Siren fortress, so they won't send more Arbiters there, thereby easing the pressure on that side." Qin Ge said.

"Understood, Commander, I will convey your order to them." Zhenhai replied promptly.

"Hmm." Watching Zhenhai go to deliver the mission, Qin Ge walked over to Hai Lun Na and said, "Hai Lun Na, what kind of Arbiters do you think Bisimai's side is likely to encounter?"

"That's hard to say; at present, the Executors are scattered throughout the sea area, basically every Arbiter has its Executor, so I cannot determine which Arbiter we are facing here, let alone which ones Bisimai's side is facing.

However, in this world the Arbiters are old opponents; if we encounter special circumstances, I believe Bisimai is not the sort to act impulsively." Hai Lun Na said.

"Indeed."

While the two were talking, the order had already been transmitted to all the small squads, and everyone immediately chose to carry out Qin Ge's command. The minor skirmishes of this period were no longer enough to excite anyone; they needed more intense combat.

Contracting the formation took only a short time; soon everyone was ready and began to break through toward the Sea Area Siren Fortress.

…………

The Observer turned his head toward the Dream Weaver and said, "Just as the Laplace Demon's earlier calculations, Commander Qin Ge has chosen to advance toward the Sea Area A fortress; it seems he is using his own actions to restrain our strength."

The Dream Weaver whispered, "It is time to begin the mental trial; send Hermes over."

"Hermes' ability is something ordinary ships cannot resist; are you sure you want to use it on a human?" the Observer questioned doubtfully.

"Yes." the Dream Weaver affirmed.

"Alright." The Observer nodded and did not ask further; she was merely giving a reminder and did not wish to argue with the Dream Weaver.

For her, it was enough to carry out the relevant orders properly.

…………

In Sea Area E, the booming explosions reverberated across the horizon.

In the midst of the unnoticed battle, the fortress interior hardly had any trace of the Siren mass-produced warships left; now, besides Sterlencus and the Testers, only some elite Executors and Executors remained on the field.

Moreover, their numbers were continually dwindling, so they could no longer form any obstructive force on the battlefield.

"The Testers feel much stronger now, far surpassing when we previously killed her," Wuzang said, frowning.

"Naturally, judging from the reports you sent back earlier, his current mecha is obviously stronger than before, likely a new model, so the power increase is inevitable.

However, after fighting this long, it is not unbeatable. Now Yu Jing and her team are helping to drag Sterlencus, which is exactly the moment for us to unleash our firepower. So make sure your people do not hold back now; annihilate the Testers, as well as the existing Executors and Executors in the sea area, so that in the upcoming battle we will not be affected by them." Bisimai said.

"Understood, but just now Gneisenau said we should retain some firepower?" Wuzang asked.

"She meant to guard against Sterlencus's shield skill, but I feel that given the current pace, the battle will last a while, and even if I had such a shield technique, I would certainly wait until I myself posed a threat before using it.

"We may not have reached that point yet, so go ahead and unleash the firepower boldly; let us first wipe out the enemies of this fortress cleanly, then turn back and eliminate Sterlencus together with them."

"Understood!"
