Moli did not refuse such an arrangement.
After all, his fleet has suffered serious losses now, and if he goes out, he will not encounter any fierce battles.
In addition to Moli's fleet, according to theoretical data, Clive also has to dispatch four space battle groups as hidden forces.
But what they announced to the outside world was that they had dispatched eight of Clive's most elite space battle groups to circle around the rear of the Xilin Seat and pursue Owen.
Clive even asked Duncan to spread the word that he wanted to cripple Owen in one fell swoop so that he would not have the strength to continue attacking and harassing Duncan's rear.
All kinds of false information were flying around, causing the Galaxy Defense Group and Owen to receive a large amount of false information.
The result is that, from the perspective of the Galaxy Defense Group, there is not much power left in the Xilin constellation.
According to the current false intelligence, the remaining forces of Xilin are:
Moli's fleet of more than 13,000 ships that have experienced bloody battles.
After replenishment, Duncan's three understaffed fleets had about 8,000 ships.
The two space battle groups left by Clive, with 6,000 ships.
The total number of troops is about 27,000 ships.
Combined with Xilinzuo's Sky Fortress defense line, this remaining force is not strong, but it is definitely not weak.
Normally, it is sufficient to deal with most crises.
But what actually remains in Xilinzuo?
Clive commanded 20,000 of the main battleships, plus Duncan's fleet.
Duncan's fleet is just a supplement and is of no great use. It will certainly not be very effective in field battles, but it can be useful in defensive operations.
In addition, not far behind Xilin, there is Clive's main fleet of 10,000.
All in all, the real defensive forces of Xilin should be Clive's 30,000 main battleships, Duncan's 8,000 remaining soldiers, and Xilin's Sky Fortress.
After the false news reached the Galaxy Defense Group, Li Xin summoned his generals and asked, "What do you think now?"
Weng Hua spoke first, "Ever since we blocked the C-22, the Oort Cloud Hegemony's fleet has been behaving very well. I think it must be Ahmed who led the fleet and gave them a hard time."
"They don't dare to attack from C-22 right now. This is understandable. After all, this place is very close to Fornax. If we're not careful, it could be a decisive battle between Clive in the Oort Cloud and our Galactic Defense Group."
"But if they don't attack the C-22, they really can't let Owen continue to recapture other planets of Lidadas Capital."
"My opinion is to ignore this attacking force and directly attack the Xilin Sky Fortress."
Upon hearing this, Li Xin did not rush to respond, but instead asked Liu Yang: "What do you think?"
Liu Yang said, "Theoretically speaking, I don't find the Oort Cloud United Hegemony's actions this time surprising. This is also their way to break the deadlock."
"But I think that storming the Xilin Fortress's defenses is not a good idea."
"After all, there's the Sky Fortress here. Even if we storm it, the losses will be substantial."
"And after the battle, Xilin's Sky Fortress will definitely be scrapped."
"I think we can repeat our previous operation and pursue Clive's fleet, gather superior forces, and swallow up his force."
Li Xin looked at Ahmed again, but Ahmed shook his head and said, "I think what they both said makes sense. Either way is fine."
"After all, our army currently has a manpower advantage. Since we have this advantage, I think we should continue to expand this manpower advantage. This will give us more options in combat."
After listening to their analysis, Li Xin did not rush to speak.
After a long pause he said, "What on earth is Clive keeping?"
"Even if his fleet sets out, it won't be able to catch up to Owen in a year or two. What's the point of attacking?"
"And can't he guess how many ships I have now?"
"How dare he leave only 20,000 or 30,000 warships in Xilin for defense?"
"Is he really not afraid that I will attack Xilinzuo, a strategically important city?"
Owen's fleet was scattered, and Li Xin had no intention of rushing his fleet to reunite for the time being.
The number of ships in Li Xin's hands now adds up to a huge number.
It wasn't just Clive who was spreading false news.
Li Xin also often releases false news and false information.
Up to now, Clive actually has no specific understanding of the exact number of Li Xin’s fleet at this time.
Of course, Li Xin didn't know the exact number of Clive's ships, he only knew a rough estimate.
Now, Li Xin has more than 50,000 ships under his direct control. If Adams' fleet is added, the number of ships will exceed 60,000.
Not to mention Clive dividing his troops, even if he didn't, if Li Xin risked the losses, he could still capture Xilinzuo.
At the beginning of the war, Li Xin was worried that the combat effectiveness of the Oort Cloud United Hegemony's fleet was too strong. Even if it was not as strong as his own, it would probably not be much worse.
But after the war broke out, it was discovered that the combat effectiveness of both sides was completely at a different level.
Clive's actions left Li Xin a little confused.
He asked doubtfully, "Have Clive and the others always been so brave?"
"Even if he doesn't know the exact number of our fleet, he should have a rough idea in his mind. How dare he be so arrogant and divide his forces?"
"Even if he's all in Xilin Seat, I can still eat whenever I want."
Li Xin was a little confused and didn't understand what Clive was doing.
But in fact, Clive really didn't know how many fleets Li Xin had around him. Li Xin did a good job of keeping the fleet intelligence confidential.
False information is flying all over the place again.
All we know now is that he led a fleet of 6,000 ships to raid Fornax, and then received a fleet of new recruits here.
Clive didn't care about the combat effectiveness of this fleet.
Next came the tens of thousands of ships led by Ahmed, who had fought with Moli.
But despite the heavy losses suffered by Mori despite his superior manpower, the battle was actually still evenly matched at the end. Clive speculated that Ahmed's fleet was probably as half-destroyed as Mori's.
The Galaxy Defense Group estimated that the remaining fleet was only about 10,000 to 20,000.
By this calculation, Li Xin could only mobilize a fleet of 30,000 combat-capable troops, plus Adams' fleet.
Clive's main fleet, plus Duncan's fleet, are at the Sky Bastion defense line, so it's not impossible to fight.
Besides, Clive himself has no choice, and the current method is the most effective one.
Therefore, this has caused the current confusion of the Galaxy Defense Group.
