Li Xin listened to the time of enemy arrival given by the intelligence officer and kept thinking in his mind.

According to the timeline, two and a half years later, the Galaxy Defense Group arrived in Fornax.

Duncan’s two space combat groups, about 6,000 ships, may have gathered here.

Clive's fifth and fourth war zones estimated that there were between 15,000 and 20,000 warships.

Combined with the Skyfortress of Tianlu, as long as they advance steadily, it will be enough to restrain Li Xin for a long time.

If we just delay for a few more months, Duncan's other two space combat groups will arrive in Fornax, adding another 6,000 ships.

If we wait for another half a year, Clive's main fleet will arrive, and then Li Xin will be in big trouble.

After listening to the intelligence officer's analysis, Li Xin paced back and forth, thinking about how to respond.

He called a group of senior military generals and asked them for countermeasures.

"We must capture Fornax as soon as possible. With Fornax, we will be able to gain a strategic support point in the Shield sector."

"But the problem now is that Tianlu may not be easy to take down."

After some thought, Weng Hua said, "What if we split up our forces and move forward? We can first arrange a fleet to head towards Tianlu."

"Then divide the troops, such as General Ahmed's strike group or my battle group, to delay the speed of Clive's fourth and fifth theater support forces."

"The rest of the main forces will attack the Celestial Forge fiercely."

Li Xin thought: "This is one way, but Clive's fleet may arrive before us."

Ahmed pondered for a moment and then said, "What if we change our target?"

"We took Fornax for the space docks and industrial worlds here."

"But we don't have to take this place. We can completely abandon the goal here."

"Now Duncan wants to form an alliance with Adams, but isn't it a complete alliance yet?"

"Owen's fleet is now sandwiched between Adams and Duncan's Carlisle's fleet of 6,000 ships and dares not act rashly."

"What if we abandon Fornax and go directly to support Owen?"

"Defeat Carlisle first, then force Adams' three space battle groups to surrender. Is that okay?"

After hearing this, Li Xin opened the star map and looked at the overall situation.

Abandon the Forge and attack Carlisle, the journey will take longer.

But it was still a strategy, once Owen's 15,000 ships were added, plus Adams' 10,000.

The power in Li Xin's hands is no less than that of Clive.

But the problem is how to make Adams obedient and how to make his fleet obedient.

Even if Adams really surrendered, Li Xin would still look at his fleet with suspicion.

Sometimes, it is possible for an army to surrender and then rebel again, and the damage caused may be even greater.

After reading it, Li Xin finally shook his head and said, "I don't trust Adams. This is too risky."

After this plan was abandoned, others were still discussing it intensely, but Li Xin began to study the distance from the current position to Tianlu constellation.

After a while, he said, "I'm going to raid the Fornax."

Weng Hua asked in surprise, "Why a surprise attack?"

Li Xin said, "Gather all the Phantom-class battlecruisers and Guardian-class escort ships in the army! I can use them!"

How many Phantom-class battlecruisers and Guardian-class escort ships are currently with the army?

Up to now, Li Xin has summoned the Star Fleet seven times.

Before attacking the Yelong Empire, many Starry Sky Fleets had been assembled into the Fearless Defense Battle Group led by Li Xin himself, which gathered fifteen Starry Sky Fleets.

There are also some star fleets left in the Yelong star zone and the capital star zone.

If all the Xingyuan fleets were assembled now, Li Xin would be able to mobilize a huge fleet of about 300 Phantom-class battlecruisers and 1,200 Guardian-class escort ships.

The current main fleet consists of ten daring-class battleships, twenty astute-class cruisers, and small and medium-sized ships.

The fifth-generation warships of the Xingyuan Fleet, in terms of main gun firepower and heavy firepower alone, are comparable to the strike capabilities of sixty main fleets.

Weng Hua looked at Li Xin and asked, "Grand Marshal, do you want to use your psychic energy to accelerate and lead these fleets to attack the Forge directly?"

Li Xin nodded heavily and said, "That's right. The fifth-generation battleships are very powerful. With so much heavy firepower, it will be no problem for them to deal with the Sky Forge."

Weng Hua frowned and said, "But with only the Mirage-class battlecruisers and escort ships, I'm afraid it won't be enough. Without the cover of small and medium-sized warships, the losses will be great."

Escort ships can of course also protect battlecruisers. After all, its main function can be seen from its name.

Li Xin pondered for a moment and said, "You're right, then bring the Fearless Defense Battle Group along!"

The Dreadnought Defense Battle Group, in addition to the Phantom-class battlecruisers and Guardian-class escort ships, also includes a large number of light carrier-based aircraft, destroyers, torpedo boats and frigates.

Li Xin continued, "Gather me a group of transport ships, all carrying commanders and technical soldiers of small and medium-sized warships!"

"I believe that the Forge of Heaven is, under Duncan's orders, frantically producing small and medium-sized warships to fill the defenses of the Sky Fortress."

Ahmed said, "Grand Marshal, do you mean that after we capture the Fornax, we will directly take these warships and use them for our own purposes?"

Li Xin laughed and said, "That's right!"

"The fleet produced by Duncan is also a human ship. At most, it needs a little more time to run in, and its combat effectiveness is slightly lower. I believe it can be used!"

"Place cloning chambers on large transport ships and train clone armies on the road. Then, combine them with the Lidadus space forces recruited in Fornax!"

"The combat capability is almost there, so let's use it first!"

Li Xin's idea was so crazy that even Weng Hua, Ahmed and other senior military generals found it too shocking.

After thinking about it, Weng Hua said, "This plan is very feasible, but I have a question."

Li Xin nodded and said, "What's the problem? Ask it."

Weng Hua said, "Grand Marshal, if you follow this plan, you might have to take away nearly 7,000 to 8,000 ships, or even nearly 10,000. Is that feasible?"

Although Li Xin was an Alpha-class psychic, he flew very fast with his fleet when he was looking for the lair of the Xingyuan Holy Descendants, but at that time there were only a few of them, only one fleet with three or four hundred ships.

This time, the number of warships and transport ships required to carry out the plan will almost increase twenty times.

Li Xin laughed and said, "My strength has become much stronger. If one time doesn't work, then I'll try a few more times!"
