"This is indeed a very good idea; the Evil Sun Fleet's advantages are speed and mobility."

"But in the asteroid belt, their advantages simply cannot be brought into play."

"If they ignore these fortresses and directly attack Kal II, they will be attacked from behind by the fortresses."

"But because their firepower is insufficient, it is difficult for them to quickly clear these fortresses."

"Causing them to only be able to abandon their speed advantage and be forcibly dragged into a siege battle they are least skilled at."

Dominic turned his head, looking at Lin En, his eyes full of admiration:

"You, you always manage to give me some surprises."

"This Commander named Gus is quite good."

Lin En smiled and did not speak.

Gus indeed did not disappoint him.

He did not cling to traditional defensive tactics, but adapted to local conditions, utilizing the asteroid belt around Kal II to create such an "Iron Thorns" defense line.

This defense line perfectly counters the Evil Sun Clan's combat style.

No wonder the Evil Sun's vanguard forces arrived three days ago, yet Kal II has basically received no damage.

"However, this defense line also has a fatal defect." Dominic converged his smile, speaking in a serious tone.

"It can only deal with a small, fast fleet like Evil Sun."

"Once Lianggenna's main fleet arrives, these temporary fortresses, in front of heavy cannons, will be just like paper."

"I know." Lin En nodded.

"But Gus only needs to hold out for three days; three days later, our reinforcements will arrive."

Dominic glanced at Lin En and did not speak.

He walked to the command platform, looking at the dense green skin light dots on the holographic star map, and fell into contemplation.

After a while, he raised his head and said to the communication device: "Relay my command."

"All warships shut down engines, maintain radio silence, hide in the asteroid shadows behind Kal II, do not let the Evil Sun Fleet discover us."

"Sir?" The escort captain's surprised voice came from the communication device.

"We aren't attacking directly? With our strength, eliminating these Evil Sun fleets would be effortless."

"No." Dominic shook his head.

"Now is not the time; our target is not these small fries, but that big fish Lianggenna."

"If we reveal our strength now, Lianggenna might fight a war of attrition with me."

"But I want to give him a surprise."

Dominic revealed a confident smile.

"Kaili, you and I will land on Kal II together, to go meet your genius commander."

"No!" The escort captain immediately opposed.

"Too dangerous! Right now Kal II's surroundings are full of Evil Sun patrol boats; if we are discovered......."

"Rest assured." Dominic patted his shoulder.

"No one can stop me. Moreover, only by personally going to the front line to take a look can I understand the most real battle situation."

Finished speaking, he did not wait for the escort captain to say anything more, turned and walked out of the bridge.

Ralph, still like a silent shadow, immediately followed closely behind.

Dozens of Veturia Elite Guards also followed closely behind.

Lin En watched their receding backs and helplessly shook his head.

This Noble Major General really does whatever he thinks of.

Half an hour later, an inconspicuous small shuttlecraft quickly launched from the James Tong's cargo hold.

The shuttlecraft shut off all lights, relying only on inertia to glide through the dark universe.

It cleverly avoided the Evil Sun Fleet's patrol routes, passed through the gaps of the asteroid belt, and flew toward Kal II's surface.

The whole process was thrilling but safe.

When the shuttlecraft landed on Kal II's surface, Gus had already brought a squad of soldiers waiting there.

"Dominic Adult, welcome your arrival!" Gus quickly walked forward and respectfully saluted.

He wore a military uniform covered in oil stains and dust, his face had a fresh scar, yet his eyes were exceptionally bright.

"Commander Gus." Dominic returned a salute, sizing him up and down.

"Your asteroid fortress tactics are brilliant."

"Thank you Adult for the praise." Gus smiled modestly, "This is all because Governor Sir taught well."

Dominic smiled and did not speak.

"Come, take me to your command room."

"Yes!"

Gus's command room was set in Kal II's original Chandler's laboratory.

The laboratory was converted into a crude command center, the walls hung full of various maps and display screens.

Dozens of communication soldiers sat at the consoles, busy with tension.

The air was permeated with the smell of sweat; the entire Kal II's circulatory system and power supply had not yet been fully repaired.

Compared to the James Tong's luxurious bridge, this place couldn't even count as a slum.

The expeditionary force was holding fast to Kal II under such harsh conditions.

But Dominic did not disdain it in the slightest; on the contrary, a trace of respect rose in his inner heart.

He walked to the holographic star map, looking at the Green Skin Fleet movements marked on it, listening seriously to Gus's report.

"The Evil Sun Clan's vanguard force totals two hundred thirty-seven warships, led by a Big Guy called Run Fast Mao Ke."

"Their main purpose is reconnaissance and harassment; they are not equipped with heavy weapons."

"Our temporary fortresses total one hundred seventy-two; currently twenty-three have been destroyed."

"At the same time our casualties are very small; the battle damage ratio has reached 1:128."

Hearing this battle damage ratio, Dominic couldn't help but look at Gus with higher regard once more.

"According to our reconnaissance, Lianggenna's main fleet is estimated to arrive tomorrow morning."

Gus pointed at a red dot on the star map and continued: "Their route is very clear, heading directly for Kal II, without any sign of detouring."

Dominic nodded; this was very much in line with the Green Skin style.

Especially when possessing an absolute numerical advantage, they simply disdain using any schemes.

"Very good." Dominic said, "You have done very well; the following matters will be left to us."

"You continue to hold the defensive line; do not attack proactively."

"When the time comes, this group of Green Skins will pay the price for their arrogance."

"Yes! Adult!" Gus nodded.
