Lianggenna nodded, the big spoon in his hand striking heavily against the edge of the big pot, splashing a few drops of scalding stew juice.
"Right, right, those shrimp are best at hiding up in the sky and firing cannons!" he said in a coarse voice.
"Then tell me, how are we supposed to deal with their warships? We can't just watch them blast my mushroom fields and Big Pot City flat, can we?"
The surrounding War Bosses also chimed in one after another, each wearing a worried expression.
They feared no one, but the Imperial fleet hiding in the sky and shelling — there truly was no method against it.
Mainly their fleet couldn't beat the shrimp's fleet, and the ground anti-air firepower was as good as non-existent.
When the time came and the Green Skin fleet lost, they could only hide underground, watching helplessly as their own territory was bombed into a piece of ruins.
Yaduoduo smiled faintly, saying with confidence:
"Big Boss, various chieftains, no need to worry, I've long since thought of a response method."
He walked to a wooden board nearby, picked up a piece of charcoal, and drew a simple terrain map on the board.
"First, relying on their fleet advantage, those shrimp will certainly conduct indiscriminate firepower suppression against our surface targets first."
"Their primary targets will certainly be our starport, the Technical Overlord Workshop, the mushroom fields, and Big Pot City."
"So, the first thing we must do is transfer all important facilities and supplies, entirely moving them outside."
"Then at......"
Yaduoduo drew a few circles on the terrain map with the charcoal.
"Finally, and most importantly."
Yaduoduo's voice lowered somewhat, a trace of cunning flashing in his eyes: "We will......"
He leaned close to Lianggenna's ear and whispered a few sentences.
Lianggenna's eyes grew wider and wider, the worry on his face gradually disappearing, replaced by excitement and agitation.
He fiercely slapped his thigh, emitting a loud "pa" sound that shook the surrounding tables into a buzzing hum.
"Good! Good idea, too marvelous!" Lianggenna laughed loudly, his voice shaking the entire warehouse into trembling.
"This way, those shrimp definitely can't outplay us!"
The surrounding War Bosses, although still not understanding the specific plan, seeing Lianggenna this excited, all cheered along.
"Big Boss is wise!"
"Big Boss is awesome!"
"This time we must mince all those shrimp into pieces!"
Yaduoduo looked at the cheering crowd, the corner of his mouth curling up slightly.
His plan was not this simple.
"One versus seven, how would you respond?"
Kal II Space Station.
Five days have passed since the first battle of Kal II.
After three days and three nights of continuous busy work and two days of trial operation, the ammunition resupply route from Brevis to Kal II has been completely built.
Every day, several huge Imperial transport ships, fully loaded with ammunition, fuel, food, and recruits, depart from Brevis Starport and safely arrive at Kal II Space Station.
The warehouse that originally only consumed one-third is now stacked full of various weapons and ammunition.
To raise the military funds for this expedition, Dominic sent a harshly worded "fundraising letter" to all Nobles of Brevis.
The letter clearly indicated that the Green Skins are the common enemy of the entire Calixis Star System; if Duli's Green Skins attack, no one will escape disaster.
Now is precisely the time to serve the Empire, to fight for the homeland; all Nobles must generously donate to support frontline combat.
Any Noble who refuses to donate or donates an insufficient amount will be labeled with "treason."
Awaiting them will be the dual targeting of the Imperial Ministry and Navy.
Under Dominic's high pressure, those Nobles who usually wouldn't pluck a single hair, had no choice but to "generously open their purses" one after another.
Some donated large quantities of ammunition and supplies, some dispatched their own private guards, some even contributed their own clan's private warships.
In just three days, Dominic raised enough military funds to support his fleet opening fire for three days, and additionally gained twelve private warships and several hundred thousand Noble private soldiers.
Kal II's defensive line has also been repaired to an initial scale.
The defensive fortifications originally destroyed by war have been reinforced anew.
Dozens of new cannon turrets and laser anti-air towers have risen from the ground, dark cannon mouths pointing straight at the sky.
Even if the frontline fleet is defeated, Kal II can serve as a solid bridgehead, providing cover for retreating troops.
The James Tong's repair work is also basically complete.
Although the Void Shield Generator, because the damage was too severe, can only restore one-third effectiveness, all weapon systems have been repaired.
Three Light Spears once again flicker with dangerous light, and one hundred and four Macro Cannon turrets are also all loaded with armor-piercing shells.
The Power Core, after debugging, can already output eighty percent power.
On the orbital spaceport, all Imperial warships are already fully prepared and ready to depart.
The James Tong, as flagship, is moored at the very center.
Around it are three majestic battlecruisers, further out are twenty cruisers and fifty escort ships.
Dozens of warships formed a massive combat formation, the Imperial Double-Headed Eagle Emblems on their hulls glittering under the starlight.
All soldiers had already boarded the warships, all weapons had already been loaded, awaiting only a single command to launch a total attack toward Dolido Planet.
On the bridge of the James Tong, Dominic stood before the main control console, gazing at the massive fleet before him, his eyes filled with confidence and anticipation.
His mechanical prosthetic lightly tapped the edge of the console; this was a top-tier prosthetic the Machine Cult had just installed for him.
It could be said that aside from still being awkward to use, its strength and flexibility even surpassed the previous one.
This was his first time independently commanding a fleet of such scale, and also his first chance to completely eliminate a star system's Green Skin threat.
As long as he won this war, he could become a hero of the Empire, return to Terra, and accept the Emperor's commendation.
He could comfort the souls of Ralph and all the sacrificed soldiers.
"Report, Adult, all warships are prepared and ready to depart at any time," the communication soldier said respectfully.
Dominic took a deep breath, raised his only remaining right hand, and waved it forcefully downward:
"Depart! Target——Dolido Planet!"
"Yes, Adult!"
With Dominic's command, the engines of all warships started simultaneously.
Blue plasma tail flames bloomed in space, like countless blooming blue flowers.
The massive Imperial Fleet departed Kal II Space Station, forming neat formations, and sailed toward the direction of Dolido Planet.
Lin En and Lena stood on the bridge of their escort ship, watching the Kal II Space Station gradually receding outside the window.
"Everything is prepared," Lin En said softly.
"Hope this time we can smoothly eliminate Lianggenna, and completely resolve the Green Skin threat."
Lena nodded, a trace of worry flashing in her purple eyes:
"I still feel something is off. This Yaduoduo, he's not simple."
"He's been frequently going in and out of Lianggenna's camp recently; I suspect he said something to Lianggenna."
"And he could come up with a method to eliminate the Waa'gh in such a short time, and even gain Lianggenna's trust; he's absolutely not a simple fart spirit."
"I know," Lin En frowned.
