The first day of the war was spent in attrition.
The attackers stayed tens of millions of kilometers outside the system and did not continue to advance into the galaxy circle.
Although the Divine Eye people suffered huge losses, they still maintained their combat effectiveness and did not consume too much energy.
The morale of the middle and lower-level commanders increased, and they thought they had held the position.
But Canton saw clearly that his side had big problems.
"If the enemy had launched a direct attack yesterday, our soldiers would have unleashed a powerful force. But Olesgu was too cautious, not even launching a general attack despite such a good opportunity. As time went on, the army's morale would decline as losses mounted, and it would eventually reach a critical point."
The deputy general next to him suggested: "How about we take the initiative to attack? We must not be dragged to death."
Canton shook his head. "The trains are too maneuverable. They could take the warships and cruise around at any time. We have no way to stop them. Alas, this time it's too dangerous."
The deputy general was surprised. "Not really. Our army hasn't suffered much loss. We have over 30 billion soldiers and a large number of experts. With this kind of fighting power, we can easily conquer a small star country."
"I can see the outcome from Olesgu's arrangements. Let's start thinking about breaking out now. I'm afraid we won't be able to hold on to the end." Canton has not yet made up his mind to fight to the death.
…
"What? A fight?"
On the planet Boone, Fino was in high spirits.
The intelligence officer replied, "The Fuyao launched a surprise attack a day ago, and Canton hastily responded. Both sides exchanged long-range fire, and no close-range combat has occurred yet. Based on the current situation, it is predicted that they will have a final showdown within a month."
Fino's eyes lit up and he immediately called the generals over.
"Be prepared at all times. No matter who wins, we can launch an attack. As for the Shining Gold Tribe, they probably have the same idea. It will just depend on who is faster."
Indeed, the Star Lord of the Shining Gold Clan, Kowen, quickly assembled a large army and even prepared to lead the army himself.
"If the Fuyao people win, we can attack under the banner of revenge for Novaer. If the Shenyan people win, we can secretly contact the Fuyao people, promise them some benefits, and attack the Shenyan people from both sides. We can even cooperate to fight against the alien people later."
His generals questioned: "What if the Fuyao people become too powerful? After all, they have trains. I don't think they are a good partner."
"Haha, if we can't even beat a person with a damaged Divine Eye, it proves that the Fuyao people are just so-so. There's nothing to be afraid of." Ke Wen was full of confidence.
When there was movement in the two major star countries, Clarence in the dark got the information first and reported it to Chen An.
…
On the main battlefield, the fighting is still fierce.
The second day of the war continued on the same path as the first day, but with significant changes.
Olesgu separated the four main battle trains and took their respective fleets to attack the four sides of the galaxy.
It was still a long-range fire attack, relying on the high maneuverability and defensive capabilities of the train to bully the people with divine eyes, and the other side had no way to stop them.
This continued for the next few days, causing the Divine Eye people to become increasingly impatient, and the calls for an active attack grew louder and louder at the commander level.
Canton strictly forbids any changes.
"Olesgu is attacking our hearts and minds, trying to break our will to fight. We must hold on, or face court-martial."
However, as time passed, the direction of the God's Eye people was even compressed to the vicinity of the galaxy.
Once they are locked in a galaxy, it means that their logistics will be completely interrupted and they will be in greater danger.
In view of all the circumstances, Canton wanted to give it a try.
He sent two super fleet regiments to counterattack from the attacker's weak point, trying to open a gap and connect with dozens of mobile bases in the rear.
However, what he didn't know was that these actions were all predicted by Olesgu.
"Let's clear this road and give them a chance to break through."
The people of Divine Eye easily took over the logistics line, morale was restored, and the situation gradually improved.
But they still couldn't solve the threat of the fairy cannon unless they took the initiative to attack to shorten the distance between the two sides and eliminate the threat to the train's mobility.
After countless attempts, there is currently no solution to this situation.
Soon a month passed, and the man with the Divine Eye fell into a state of extreme fatigue and was in danger of collapsing at any time.
At this time, the best strategy is to abandon the Anlun galaxy and retreat to the rear.
Because once the front line collapses, it will trigger huge systemic risks that will be difficult to reverse.
…
"Canton is really steady. He should have seen through our strategy."
In the main row, Chen An and Olesgu drank tea and chatted leisurely.
Olesgu said, "With such advanced intelligence, so-called strategies can't withstand the deduction of supercomputers. So, I'll simply use an open strategy, which can be interpreted without thinking. When everyone knows what we're going to do, it will be difficult for Canton to make a decision."
Chen An asked with a smile, "What would you do if you were in Canton's position?"
"There's nothing we can do because of the disparity in strength between the two sides. To be honest, if it weren't for the need to reduce losses, I would have launched a general offensive two weeks ago."
"What now?"
Olesgu said firmly, "Canton will withdraw within three days, whether it's real or fake. If it's fake, he'll set an ambush on the road and fight us to the death, no matter the cost. If it's real, he'll abandon his two super fleet regiments to intercept our pursuit."
"Which is more likely?"
"The former. With Noir gone, Canton doesn't have enough prestige to rally more troops. If he fails to achieve results this time, he won't have any more chances. Therefore, a feigned withdrawal and a decisive battle is his last chance."
Human nature is complex, and there are not so many people who are willing to make sacrifices.
When Canton led the main force to fight against the Fuyao Star Kingdom, countless separatist forces emerged within the Shenyan Star Kingdom, some large and some small.
These situations are also the basis for Olesgu's confidence, because the people of the Divine Eye cannot continue to unite after losing the Star Lord, and they become more and more divided as time goes by.
…
As Orescu had expected, Canton decided to retreat two days later.
"General, although we have been suppressed all the time, we have not suffered large-scale losses and our main force is still intact." The think tank was heartbroken.
Kanton's eyes were sharp as knives. After a few glances, he said calmly, "Just because you can't see it doesn't mean we haven't lost anything. We've already lost most of it. According to the current war model, every day we stay in the Anlun Galaxy, our chance of winning will drop by three percent. Once it drops to a certain level, we will automatically collapse."
Only by standing at his height can one clearly see the current situation of the entire army.
Many times he wanted to fight back with all his might, but when he thought about how the enemy could rely on trains to avoid fighting, Canton felt powerless.
Finally, we came to the conclusion that we must lure the enemy deep into our territory, otherwise we would have no chance.
Four hours later, three main super fleet groups suddenly broke through the gap with great momentum.
The other super fleets followed closely, making a gesture of abandoning the galaxy.
After learning that the enemy had retreated, Olescu calmly commanded the five trains to attack simultaneously and follow behind.
