Elena stared at the screen in front of her, her eyes firm and resolute.
The decision she made was full of risks, but she also knew that if she wanted to eliminate the enemy in one fell swoop, she had to lure them into the trap she set.
As Elena ordered Skyline to release its restrictions on the enemy, enemy ships poured into Skyline like a tide.
There were so many of them that they swarmed in like a hornet's nest.
Listening to the real-time report from Red Star Intelligence, Elena took a deep breath and tried to stay calm.
Removing the restrictions on the skyline means allowing the enemy to enter the royal capital. If they do not have enough power to eliminate the enemies entering the hinterland, they will be the ones in danger.
However, Elena always makes sufficient preparations before making a choice.
What's more, the enemy didn't gain any advantage even after letting them go before. Elena felt that instead of letting them continue to test the waters, it would be better to fight them completely.
Aren't they going to attack Skyline?
Then let them have their way.
During this time, she didn't do nothing at Skyline.
By using credit points, the population around the skyline is continuously attracted and gathered in the core area. The outer areas are set up as moats and artillery positions.
Therefore, it doesn't matter even if we let them attack.
It's just a waste planet whose periphery was captured by them.
Wait until they come in in sufficient numbers.
That will be her time of harvest.
As for now, let them jump around, but they won’t jump around for long.
"Butler Elena, they've started entering Skyline in large numbers!"
“Continuous monitoring.”
"clear!"
The enemy fleet is attacking the skyline thoroughly, setting foot on this holy land that was once regarded as a gray area. However, this place has long been governed by the Red Star Fleet and is no longer as chaotic as before.
The waterway is clear, the route is guided, and the planning is in good order.
Perhaps because they knew they were coming to attack, there was no cargo ship or trading fleet on the usual merchant ship route.
It seems particularly depressed.
In the Skyline Channel, the enemy fleet was like a group of ferocious beasts, approaching the Red Star Base quickly and orderly.
It was like a passing typhoon, causing the city in its path to tremble.
However, inside the Red Star Base, Elena appeared exceptionally calm.
She stood in front of the screen in the command center, calmly observing the enemy's movement and quickly formulating a response strategy.
"We can't let them enter the Red Star Base so easily."
"Let's set up some obstacles for them and send out the reserve army."
"Just think of it as practical training for them."
"OK."
After receiving the order, the reserve corps immediately took action.
They boarded the Red Star battleship, sailed out of the Red Star base, and headed towards the enemy's inevitable route.
Although these young soldiers lack practical combat experience, they are full of fighting spirit and determination.
Under Elena's strict training and ideological education, they have become the reserve of the Red Star Fleet. At the same time, their loyalty to the Red Star Fleet and Skyline is needless to say.
When the reserve corps arrived at the enemy's inevitable route, the radar kept sounding alarms, the number and distance of the enemy became clearer and clearer, and the data kept changing.
Until they really came to me.
The enemy's warships were numerous and large in scale, which put tremendous pressure on the reserve corps.
However, the reserve corps was not intimidated and quickly deployed for combat as taught in military training courses.
Elena's instructions to them were not to defeat the enemy, but to delay or simply create some obstacles for the enemy so that they would not be able to enter the Red Star Base so easily.
Well, their battle plan is actually very simple.
That is, appear to attract the enemy's attention and engage in a battle with them first!
They carried out multi-stage interception in batches along the route.
Slow down their progress as much as possible.
And all this is just to delay time.
Through Red Star Intelligence's calculations, they analyzed that this was the best strategy.
As long as they can hold the other party back for a while, they will be considered successful.
After all, their purpose was only to hinder, not to completely prevent them from entering the Red Star Base.
Just don't make it so easy for them.
They adopted a multi-stage blocking tactic, which was indeed very effective.
Although the enemy fleet far outnumbered them, this was their home turf - the skyline.
They used to conduct starship movement and formation training here frequently, so they are very familiar with the situation in this star field.
Even when faced with siege from numerous fleets, the reserve corps was still able to retreat in time.
Relying on their understanding of this star field and the experience accumulated over the years, they cleverly used terrain and tactical advantages to effectively reduce their losses.
Each interception was carefully planned to maximize their combat effectiveness, but not penetrate too deeply into the enemy lines to ensure their own safety.
The reserve corps' blocking action had a significant effect.
Although the enemy fleets continued to pour in, they gradually felt the pressure.
However, the combat strategy of the reserve corps does not require them to confront the enemy directly, and they will basically retreat immediately without hesitation after firing their naval guns.
They are well aware that their own strength is relatively weak and they cannot compete with the enemy head-on, but they also have their own unique advantages, that is, they are familiar with the Skyline star field and they are fighting on their home turf.
Most importantly, they obey orders very well.
Therefore, they will never be greedy for fighting, but will use their strong mobility to quickly launch the next round of attacks.
In this situation, the enemy often has no time to counterattack before being covered by the reserve corps' artillery fire.
Although the damage caused by the reserve corps each time was limited, through repeated attacks they succeeded in inflicting heavy casualties on the enemy.
More importantly, under their multi-stage blocking, the speed of the enemy fleet was obviously affected and gradually slowed down.
The "encounter" lasted for a while, and the reserve corps successfully slowed down the enemy's advance.
Elena followed the battle situation closely and learned about the performance of the reserve army.
She couldn't help but praise: "Not bad..."
Elena looked at the damage data of the reserve army returning to the base planet on the screen, and the corners of her mouth rose slightly.
The loss ratio is not too big, she can still accept it.
But I think of the fact that some people have lost their lives in this battle.
She still felt a little sad. After all, if it weren't for the plan, they might not have had to sacrifice themselves.
She didn't know if it was because she had reached this position, but she found that she seemed to have become a little cruel and ruthless. The higher her status, the more she was separated from her original intention.
"The enemy is ready!"
