He was determined to get rid of Duncan.
But no matter how you think about it, how to eat Duncan is not a simple question.
The fleet strength of the two sides is actually not that different. In this case, you can't defeat the enemy just by moving your fingers.
Before Owen and Adams arrived, Li Xin was not prepared to use the main force of his fleet to fight Clive to the death.
If he could get many planets after defeating Clive and Duncan, Li Xin might fight harder.
But now that the decision has been made and the benefits have become smaller, the corresponding investment will naturally have to be reduced.
Li Xin’s idea now is that if Irving wants to fight, he will lend a helping hand.
If Owen is temporarily prepared to integrate his resources and fleet, then Li Xin will leave the fleet here to confront him.
Li Xin is under great pressure and is worried that he might become a demigod.
But time is also of great benefit to Li Xin. The scientific research institutions involved are still working hard to analyze the technology of the Xingyuan Saints.
Now Li Xin can often receive psychic communications from the Union. Key technologies are being replicated one by one, and there are not too many obstacles blocking the way of the Galaxy Defense Group.
Time passed day by day, and in the blink of an eye it was May of 6061.
This year, it was time to summon the Star Fleet again. Li Xin prepared the materials and summoned a group of Star Fleets, directly adding them to the Fearless Defense Battle Group under his command.
It was during this period that the combined forces of Owen and Adams finally arrived at Fornax.
Along the way, their fleet expanded on a small scale, but it was not obvious.
It can be said that during this period, the armies of several parties were expanding, but to different extents.
Under Li Xin's command, the five reorganized task force defense battle groups had their missing battleships and cruisers replenished in Tianlu constellation.
After waiting for Owen and Adams' fleets to complete their repairs, the top leaders of both sides held a joint military meeting in the Sky Fortress in Fornax.
Owen and Adams entered the Sky Fortress and saw soldiers and officers wearing the uniforms of the Galactic Defense Group along the way.
On the way, Irving and Adams looked at each other, and there was something inexplicable in their eyes.
Obviously, Fornax is now controlled by the Galaxy Defense Group, which also has some impact on them.
But neither of them said anything.
Entering the conference room, all the participants are at least A-level psychics.
For the Galactic Defense Group, they are a military-first politics, and all A-level psychics are officers and generals, and are all military.
But forces like the Galactic Defense Group are actually not very sound, at least among the many existing human forces.
Like Lidadas Capital, their military's A-level psychics only account for one-third, and the rest are shareholders and administrators.
It is not impossible to become an A-class psychic just because you are not an administrator. As long as you have enough talent and resources, anything is possible.
This type of A-level psychic can also command a fleet and is powerful, but the impact on the fleet is weaker.
This is the case with Lidadas Capital, and the Oort Cloud United Hegemony is similar.
Even within Clive's camp, the number of A-class psychics in their military is smaller.
Because more military A-level psychics are on Gali's side.
After entering the military meeting, the staff officer in front saluted many A-level generals and began to describe the current situation of the confrontation.
The latest data in the intelligence was shared.
"Currently, the Oort Cloud United Hegemony and Duncan's coalition forces are both stationed in the Xilin constellation. They are resting here and replenishing their fleets and troops."
After sharing the latest information, Li Xin nodded slightly to Owen.
Owen immediately said: "After not seeing you for many years, Master Li has become even stronger!"
When Owen met Li Xin, they were both only A-level psychics.
But when Li Xin went back to fight the Yelong Empire, he was upgraded to an Alpha-level psychic.
The gap in strength between the two sides naturally widened.
After a few pleasantries, Owen respectfully and tentatively asked, "Lord Li Xin, what is the current strategy of the Galaxy Defense Group?"
Li Xin smiled and said, "That depends on you."
"We are here to support you. If you want to continue fighting, then we will fight!"
"If you want to confront and split with Duncan over this, we support you."
Hearing Li Xin's words, Irving felt relieved. He said, "If we have a choice, Adams and I would still continue the fight and try to get rid of Duncan once and for all."
Li Xin nodded slightly and said, "But, Duncan is not easy to deal with now."
"The Oort Cloud Hegemony's fleets are too numerous. Even we, relying on the defenses of the Silin constellation, cannot withstand the losses of a brute force attack."
Owen nodded repeatedly after hearing this.
After a moment's silence, Irving said, "Duncan and his men are entrenched in Xilin Block, but his territory isn't limited to Xilin Block."
"My idea is to take the fleet to recapture other star systems occupied by the Duncans, and even defeat the Carlisle fleet that is roaming outside."
"As the number of star systems under Duncan's command continues to decrease, relying solely on the Xilin constellation will not be able to afford the cost of supporting so many fleets."
"By then, Duncan and Clive will both proactively dispatch ships to leave Xilin."
Li Xin listened and nodded.
The Galactic Defense Corporation occupied Fornax and owned many industrial worlds, but relying solely on one star field was not enough to provide logistical supplies for the entire main fleet.
There was no problem before when there was only the task force strike group. Now that the main force of the central army has arrived, it is a little insufficient.
The current logistical supplies have three sources: one is supplied by Tianlu, and the other is the logistical supply line of the Galaxy Defense Group that comes along with the main fleet.
The last one is the logistical line opened up by Irving.
Fornax cannot afford the Galactic Defense Group's fleet, and similarly, Silin cannot afford Clive.
Therefore, as long as Owen can successfully sweep the surrounding galaxies, Clive and Duncan must come out to fight.
Owen doesn't even need to successfully recapture those planets. As long as he shows this attitude, Clive and the others will come out to start a war.
Because they simply cannot afford the situation after their supplies are cut off, once there is such a sign, it needs to be resolved as soon as possible.
Li Xin asked, "Who will carry out this task?"
Irving said: "As of now, I am the only one who went there in person."
