On the other side, Duncan received the news that Benson and the space battle group he led were defeated and some warships were captured.
In the conference room, Duncan pinched his brows tiredly.
He said: "This surprise attack by the Galaxy Defense Group has really disrupted my battle plan."
"Has the fleet that advanced been retracted?"
He was asking about another space battle group that was located further forward.
An officer immediately responded: "President, after receiving the news, the fleet immediately moved closer to our army."
Duncan breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this and casually ordered, "Let's advance quickly too, and try to reunite the two armies as quickly as possible!"
"Yes! President!"
Then, he asked the other two A-level psykers, "Now that we've lost Fornax and Benson's fleet, what should we do next?"
Bell said, "I don't think there's any need to worry. We are not the main force in this battle, even though we lost the fortress defense line of Tianlu constellation."
"But the enemy's front line is locked on Fornax. So, all we lost is Benson's space battle group."
"We must gather our forces, approach Fornax, communicate with Clive in the Oort Cloud, gather our forces, and fight back!"
Another psychic sighed, "Fornax's resources will likely be used by the Galactic Defense Corporation for the time being. Intelligence has discovered that the ships we requested the super-large space docks produce have all fallen into the hands of the Galactic Defense Corporation."
"The power won't disappear, it's just that we have less, and the Galactic Defense Group has more."
Duncan pinched his brow and said, "It's not Fornax that I'm worried about."
"In space combat, what really deserves attention are large warships, or the number of battleships and cruisers."
"Whether the number of destroyers and frigates is more or less, the impact won't be that big."
"What I'm worried about now is this guy Adams. I'm afraid he will hesitate. Now that we've had two failures, he might have received it."
"If he's just asking me for more resources and more power, that's fine. I'm worried that he'll start considering the necessity of forming an alliance with us."
Duncan sighed.
Bell said, "This is simple. We should spread some false information to muddy the waters. That way, even if Owen tries to test Adams with news of our defeat, he won't be so easily convinced."
Duncan pondered for a moment and said, "This is the only way now."
Duncan also knew that doing so would definitely not be very effective.
But no matter how bad the effect is, it is much better than not taking any action.
At present, the three space fleets under the command of Lidadas Capital and Duncan are converging at this time, and the speed of movement will slow down in the future.
Waiting for the vanguard fleet of the Oort Cloud United Hegemony to arrive at Fornax together.
…
This is General Owen from Lidadas Capital.
He now had five space battle groups under his command, and his original fleet was slightly dispersed.
But at this time they had all assembled and were approaching Carlisle under Duncan.
After receiving two consecutive victory reports from the Galaxy Defense Group, Owen was so happy that he could not express it in words.
He said to his left and right: "It seems that our decision to form an alliance with the Galaxy Defense Group was the right one!"
"No matter how prosperous Lidadas Capital, controlled by Duncan, is, it has little to do with us. In Duncan's eyes, we are complete traitors."
"After we take over the strategically important Fornax, as long as the Galaxy Defense Group can hold on, Duncan will be in trouble."
A general asked, "How did Lord Li Xin and the Galaxy Defense Group's fleet manage to raid the Fornax Fortress and Benson's space battle group?"
Owen also shook his head: "I don't know about that either. Maybe this is where Alpha-level psykers are so powerful?"
Then, he saw Li Xin's request that he reconcile with Adams and strive for Adams's plan.
He held the plan in his hand and hesitated for a moment.
Owen and Adams were competitors in the past, and the hatred between them has lasted for seven or eight hundred years, starting from before the warp storm.
Their hatred is no longer a personal issue, it is even an issue between two factions.
Since Owen and Adams, the factions under their command have often clashed before the warp storm.
It’s just that at that time, Lidadas Capital was relatively stable, and these conflicts were hidden underwater.
At that time, it no longer mattered what the initial conflict between Irving and Adams was about.
The hatred and hostility can continue mainly because of the factional hatred between the two sides, which forces these two A-level psychics to continue their hostility.
He pondered the cause of the current subspace storm. Over hundreds of years, the conflict between the two factions had actually been almost resolved.
Time is the most powerful weapon. It can destroy many things. Love, disgust, and hatred will all disappear quietly under the erosion of time.
Those people in the original faction who had the most hatred and did not get promoted to A-level have all died of old age.
The surviving descendants did not inherit this hatred because of the blockade of the warp storm.
The reason why Owen and Adams still had hatred after the warp storm subsided was more about fighting for territory.
Relatively speaking, the influence that the factions of both sides can exert on their decision-making at this time is much smaller.
Owen asked his attendants, "Master Li Xin of the Galaxy Defense Group wants me to reconcile with Adams and win him over to the coalition."
"What do you think?"
A-level psychics all knew about the hatred between Owen and Adams. Others knew a little about it, but not much.
An A-level psychic asked tentatively, "Master Li Xin, do you think we can successfully win over Adams?"
Owen smiled and said, "After being captured, Benson accepted the recruitment of Lord Li Xin and became a general under his command."
"Benson said that Adams is someone who can be won over, and Adams is also hesitant about Duncan's side."
The other A-level psychics breathed a sigh of relief, and Owen could even laugh, which showed that he also had some ideas about this plan.
Another A-rank general said, "I think this plan is feasible. If we can form an alliance with Adams, even if it's only a temporary alliance, it will be a huge benefit to this campaign!"
"If we can defeat Duncan, there's nothing to lose even if we keep Adams."
"We must be stronger than Adams!"
