Hanging up the phone, Strange sighed. He of course had thought about this plan, but the problem is that when Batman hits, he won't care which Strange you are, if he chooses to stay, he will inevitably be beaten.

Of course, he could open full firepower, but that would not only waste energy, but also be difficult to change the minds of the Stranges. Although they would admit that he is strong, Stranges don't have the attribute of unconditionally submitting to the strong, and they should be stubborn. So Strange shooting is not, not shooting is not.

He sighed, decided to paddle later, and perform well enough, so that he could ensure his own safety and let others get a lesson.

But he didn't know that at this time, the central command center erupted in chaos again. Because other superheroes all went to Asgard's front-line base to report, and Jarvis found after counting the registration list that not only was not a single Strange in place, but two teams of Guardians of the Galaxy were lost, three Spider-Men were lost, and even Venom and Eddie from their own universe were missing.

When Jarvis reported this result to the central command center, the generals were shocked. This is equivalent to losing two brigades and three battalions of communicators in ground combat, and the war correspondents sent from above directly disappeared.

The generals were angry and cursing, while feeling that this group of people was born at a good time, if it were during World War II, they would have been harmed by them to eat bullets.

But there is no way. The superheroes of the central universe are okay to say, other universes' superheroes mainly have no organization and no discipline, it is impossible to let them be as forbidden as the army.

"Can't go find them!" a general spoke, "They might not have been captured, mostly they got lost in the universe, or they were dragged by some novel things. As long as there is no news of prisoners on Batman's side, we won't move!"

"I think so too," Professor X said, "The Guardians of the Galaxy are basically impossible to be captured silently, and Spider-Men will definitely not be killed if captured, at most they will be exchanged for hostages later. As for Eddie, with Venom on him, he shouldn't have any big trouble, mostly he ran to the opponent's rear to take pictures. If we waste resources to save them now, it will easily trigger a chain reaction, forget it."

"What about the mages?" another general slapped the table and shouted, "All the main forces have withdrawn to the base, where are they? They should be three hours late, right?!"

"They are even less likely to be captured, could it be that they are fleeing before the battle?" a general said in surprise, "But now it is a duel between two big worlds, can they still surrender to the enemy?!"

"I think they are resisting orders on the battlefield!" another irritable general roared, "This group of people is simply lawless, do they think we can't fight without them?! Immediately transfer the Ocean-class frigates and Continent-class destroyers to the second-level battlefield!"

"Wait, I'm asking," Professor X said, "The Supreme Sorcerer replied, he said that the mages are now not far from the abandoned outpost, and seem to be unwilling to go to Asgard's base."

"Unwilling?" Everyone looked at each other. But what they were puzzled about was not why they were unwilling, but that there was actually an option of "unwilling" on the battlefield.

Professor X carefully weighed his words and said: "The situation in each universe is different, some universes have serious discrimination against humans in Asgard, and some god races have caused them great trouble. They also feel that Asgard and humans cannot cooperate, so they didn't withdraw with the main force, but stayed in the direction of the outpost."

"But in this way, our plan to transfer the opponent's firepower won't fall through?" a general said with a headache, "Wasn't the plan told to them before the fight? Why didn't they raise objections at that time?!"

"At that time, they were fighting for the leadership within the team," Professor X said helplessly, "They even remembered this after the main force withdrew."

"No war literacy! No combat literacy! Simply a group of..." a general clenched his fists, still didn't spit out that too dirty vocabulary. After a while, he hammered the table and said: "Then let them stay there, forget it, let them be bait, make some movement, attract the fleet over, and then we will use the Asgardians to fight a wave of counter-encirclement."

Professor X had to convey it truthfully. Strange also sighed in his heart: Fortunately, the flexibility of this tactic itself is relatively strong, and it can be converted at will.

The original plan was: to use the human outpost as an advance base, attract the opponent to send troops in that direction, and then build a very thick defense line there, so that the opponent could not break in for a while.

At this time, transfer to Asgard's base with great fanfare, let the opponent understand that the human outpost has been abandoned, and continuing to attack the defense line is meaningless, then transfer troops to the vicinity of Asgard's base.

And because the completed Asgard base can run, when the opponent transfers troops to the vicinity of Asgard's base, Asgard's base can run back to the human outpost, continuing to use the defense line that was not broken before.

As for what is the significance of running back and forth like this, it is actually grasping the pain point that the opponent cannot fight consumption with them. Even if there is Apokolips as a supplement for most equipment and spaceships, this energy is still not universal, for example, Apokolips's energy cannot be converted into emotional spectrum energy, so the energy of the Green Lanterns is still limited, even if Batman brings more, he must save it.

Before, Batman transferred the Green Lantern fleet to the defense line near the human outpost, which had already consumed some energy, if they transferred to Asgard's base, it would consume more energy, if Asgard's base ran away, they transferred back, it would still consume energy. This back and forth has no results, and the energy is wasted in vain.

Therefore, when Batman did not enable the Apokolips fleet, but chose to let the Green Lantern fleet probe first, this plan was already established.

It's just that the mages not withdrawing was beyond the expectation of the command center. In this way, the Green Lantern fleet might not necessarily follow them, and it is also possible to stay and bet on it, trying to see if they can annihilate the mages, even if they can't annihilate them, it's good to hurt a part of them, after all, the importance of mages is significantly greater than Green Lanterns.

If the opponent chooses to stay and fight the mages, then the war of attrition will not be established, and the mages may suffer losses, which is simply the worst result.

But fortunately, Asgard's base can run, if the mages can drag the Green Lantern fleet, they can still fight a wave of counter-encirclement.

Thinking of this, Strange said patiently: "Since you don't leave, we will fight them here. Now the opponent must have received the news of the outpost's withdrawal, as long as we make some movement here, they will definitely come to check."

"Then what are we waiting for?" Main universe Strange waved his cloak and said, "Without that group of god race brutes, we can do better."

Apokolips command center, Main universe Batman frowned looking at the intelligence. He looked at Main universe Flash, and then said: "Are you sure? There is a base about six light-years away, and everyone has withdrawn there?"

Main universe Flash nodded and said: "I saw it with my own eyes, and the style of that base is completely different from the human one, it should be built by the god race over there, they have many spaceships, and they look very strong."

Main universe Batman thought for a while and understood what idea the opponent was playing. Main universe Superman looked at him and said: "Do we still need to transfer troops?"

"I'm afraid we have to do this," Main universe Batman sighed lightly. He of course knew that the opponent was to consume them, but if they didn't follow up at this time, they would become more passive, and the Green Lantern fleet could be counter-attacked by the superheroes who had repaired at the new base on the Marvel side at any time.

It can be said that it would have been better to send the Apokolips fleet when they started, but in fact there was no choice. Apokolips, except for Darkseid and those few generals, is the Parademon army, although the number of Parademons is enough, the quality is simply not good, and they can't even chew through the mass-produced defense line, no matter how many they pile up, they are just cannon fodder and cannot be the vanguard to open the situation.

The dilemma DC is facing now is: they are fighting away from home after all, and they are insufficient in many aspects, so every battle must be fought beautifully, and results must be achieved, and no meaningless consumption can be carried out, otherwise they definitely won't be able to consume them.

In this case, all the troops sent out must have the power to decide the outcome, rather than just dragging time. The Apokolips troops are more suitable for expanding results after results have been achieved, such as drowning the isolated enemies in human sea tactics, avoiding injuries to the heroes on this side, or conducting more thorough cleaning of the destroyed outposts to prevent the opponent from making a comeback.

Thinking of this, Main universe Batman made up his mind, still not enabling the Apokolips fleet, but continuing to transfer the Green Lantern fleet over.

"Hal," he said in the communicator, "Lead the Green Lantern fleet to the new coordinates, and after arriving, stay still, observe first and then talk."

"Wait, Batman," Hal's voice seemed to have interference, he said, "We found a group of mages."

"What?!"

"We found a group of mages," Hal repeated, "Their code name is Strange, it seems everyone is gathered here, I don't know what they are doing. I have already asked people to surround them."

Main universe Batman almost immediately realized that the mages staying here without withdrawing was an accident, because he had communicated with Strange of the central universe and understood what kind of person he was, so he inferred that the Stranges might have had a conflict with the command center, so they didn't follow the order to withdraw and stayed here.

"Good opportunity," Main universe Batman said, "Surround them and fight them slowly, let's have a siege and reinforcements."

After hanging up the communication, Main universe Batman immediately started arranging.

"Superman."

"Here."

"You immediately lead a 10-person squad good at combat to the west of the outpost location. Shazam, you lead a 15-person squad to the north of the outpost direction. Wonder Woman and Flash, you each send 5 people to the south. Martian Manhunter, you lead a 10-person squad to wait near the opponent's mechanical defense line."

"Good." Everyone responded in unison. Main universe Batman said: "The possibility of them coming from the defense line is not high, because the mines there have not been cleared, and they might step on them themselves. West and north are not the shortest paths, it is more likely to be south. Once a battle occurs, personnel from all aspects will immediately go to support, be sure to fight a quick battle, and then return to the defensive post."

Others quickly took orders to go. Main universe Batman looked at the star map intently and said: "If I were their commander, I would conduct saturation rescue, the mages are too important, and there is no room for any loss. Only by responding from all directions can it be more likely to save people."

"Aren't you afraid they will fight a counter-encirclement?" Darkseid said with his hands behind his back behind him.

Main universe Batman shook his head and said: "To counter-encircle so many people, too many troops are needed, unless they conduct large-scale jumps of the fleet, otherwise it is difficult to achieve. And the spaceships needed for gathering take time, with such a big movement, Flash would have touched near Earth and the Andromeda Galaxy long ago. Once the spaceships gather, we will retreat, as long as we are not greedy, it's not a big problem."
