Walter shook his head.
"The supply routes on the Sixth Front are very complicated, and there are a lot of fleets, supporting each other very quickly. If we really attack this swarm of bees, we will definitely be stung."
Jing Yuan, who came to participate in the talks, shook his head.
"And the supplies for the second, third, fourth, and fifth fronts are all unified on a single route. Although there are heavy troops escorting them, if they are caught off guard... it's understandable."
"It seems that the enemy came prepared, and it is very likely that they are already lurking within the [Alliance]."
"Everyone, please look."
Jing Yuan remarked the supply lines of the four fronts and added a time line.
"All four attacks were completed within two system hours. They obviously wanted to end the war quickly and launched the attacks at the same time. The three companies on the four lines each transported goods at a different time, but why were they all attacked within the same time period?"
"Obviously, it is to prevent the information from spreading too quickly, so as to prevent other transport fleets from taking precautions in advance!"
Winder frowned when he heard this. He already knew what Jingyuan meant.
"That is, they knew that this attack would cause the subsequent transport fleets to increase their defenses, and they only cared about the first attack."
"In that case, their main purpose may not be for the supplies, nor for our defeat. The most important purpose of this attack is to plant a seed..."
Looking at Wend's thorough analysis, Jing Yuan did not hide the approval in his eyes at all.
"Brother Winder is right. Their purpose is to plant a seed of suspicion in the current Alliance... The company that was defeated, the family that said nothing, the immortal ship whose supplies were not robbed, and the Sixth Front that was not robbed at all..."
Jing Yuan shook his head with great emotion.
"The key to boiling a frog in warm water lies in the temperature of the water. The blunt knife... is the so-called suspicion. The person who can come up with this trick is not inferior to the cunning of the Great Lord of Extinction. But I heard that she seems to have disappeared. According to the style of the Antimatter Corps, this should not be a so-called fake death."
"… "
Huanlong, who was listening to the meeting in Tingyun's body at this time, felt very frustrated. How could she be cueed for no reason even though she had retired
But... She was really curious. Apart from her, were there other extinction lords in the antimatter army who could have such a plan? Could it be...
As if he had thought of something, Huanlong frowned suddenly, and then told Tingyun his guess in her consciousness.
"Um… "
After listening to Huanlong's guess, Tingyun's brows couldn't help but frowned. Looking at everyone who was still thinking hard, she stood up decisively and expressed Huanlong's opinion to Jingyuan who was somewhat surprised.
"Everyone, I have a bold guess."
Feeling everyone's eyes focused on him, Tingyun said with a serious expression.
"Oh? Miss Tingyun, please feel free to tell me."
"Then I will say it directly. Do you still remember the current Great Lord of Extinction, Xing Xiao?"
Tingyun did not directly state Huanlong's guess, but first threw out examples related to this guess.
"Of course, she is Xianzhou's old rival."
Jing Yuan nodded.
"Do you remember the person before this Extinction Lord Xing Xiao became the Extinction Lord?"
Looking at Jingyuan's answer, Tingyun continued to help everyone recall.
"You mean... the Great Lord of Extinction, Zhu Luo, who was stabbed by the Sea Ranger who caught the insect tide?"
Walter, who liked to read some world history, answered quickly, and then opened his eyes wide. His thoughts were instantly cleared up under Tingyun's guidance.
"After Zhu Luo died, Xing Xiao took his place. What you mean is that since Huan Long has disappeared, Nanook is likely to appoint another [Destruction Envoy] to replace her?!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the entire conference room was in an uproar, and even the thick-skinned March realized the seriousness of the problem.
"In other words... the Antimatter Army didn't attack on six fronts, but seven? Before this, a newly appointed Lord of Extinction led the Antimatter Army to infiltrate the Central Star Region. In addition, as you mentioned before, this newly appointed Lord of Extinction even infiltrated the interior of the Alliance!?"
Ji Zi said with a serious expression.
"Yes, this is a flying chess move, and it was arranged before the game started!"
Jing Yuan's voice was very heavy. Just by glimpsing this corner, he was able to analyze the whole picture of how things would develop next.
[Alliance] will become suspicious of each other after this incident. After all, they can analyze this result, and other forces may also be able to analyze it. It is impossible for the wise men in those major forces to fail to figure this out!
This is still a yin-yang chess move. On the surface, it will make the [alliance] suspicious of each other, and when everyone figures it out, the alliance will really become chaotic!
If they cannot find the Lord of Extinction who is hiding in the Alliance, the trust between them will be gone!
And if the person who proposed this plan was Jingyuan... he would place another chess piece.
That is, let others think that the Lord of Extinction has sneaked into the alliance, but in fact he is not in the alliance at all. Even if the alliance tries its best to search, it will not be able to find a person who does not exist at all... By then, mutual suspicion will turn into mutual accusations and mutual shirking of responsibility, and finally the entire [Alliance] will fall apart and collapse on its own!
"This... is really too scary. Is this the legendary plan within a plan? One thing within another, just like a nesting doll..."
After hearing this series of speculations, March's eyes were spinning.
Although she had understood it, if she thought about it carefully, the content would become complicated... It felt like her brain was not enough!
Looking at March's reaction, Winder suddenly shook his head.
"No, this is a quadruple plan."
"How do you know?"
"If we figure out the elaborate plan created by the newly appointed Lord of Extinction... then what do you say, should we tell the Alliance... or not?"
Winder closed his eyes gently, then opened them and looked at Jing Yuan with a sullen expression and Walter with a thoughtful look.
"If we tell the Alliance about this speculation, then the Star Train will be directly pushed to the forefront..."
"Wende is right. After all, this is just a guess. But it shouldn't be the Star Train or even the Immortal Boat that informed the Alliance of this guess..."
Walter nodded, then shook his head. This time the enemy... was even more difficult than those extinction lords in the open...
"Yes, if this [speculation] is told to the [Alliance], then the Starry Sky Train's recent performance will be associated with... the sudden victory, the sudden expansion of power, and the sudden disappearance of the group of [robbers]. This will definitely be associated with the fate of [trailblazer]. In this attack, the Immortal Boat not only drove away the group of [robbers], but also kept the people and goods safe... Will this be associated with something else?"
Ji Zi tapped the solid wood round table with her slender fingers, her tone heavy yet a little helpless.
"What a great plan! He has included all of us in this plan. No matter which side we bring in, we will be suspected. Although the seeds of turmoil may seem superficial, they have already taken deep root in the heart of the Alliance. All we need next is a fuse..."
Jing Yuan did not say the following words directly.
Over there, the alliance was dissolved on the spot, and each force fought against each other. Finally, the battle line was broken, the passage to the central star field was opened, and the extinction lords inside and outside joined hands to start indiscriminate destruction...
From this perspective, even the arrogant Fen Feng was part of this calculation. He was more like a...
The bird that sticks out.
Finally, after weighing the pros and cons, everyone decided not to be the first to take action in the Alliance.
This so-called alliance itself has no solid foundation. It is just a temporary front formed because of the disaster of the universe. There is no need to expose itself for an existence that is already short-lived.
Compared to this, the most important thing is to capture the new Lord of Extinction and find the hidden antimatter army.
But this is like looking for a needle in a haystack. The central star field is so large, the forces within it are so complicated, and the transportation routes themselves are traceable. The most difficult thing is to control the time.
Therefore, Walter decided to go to Pierpoint in person and use the company's means to narrow the scope first.
The relationship between the company and the Starry Sky Train is an absolute alliance, so Walter immediately found the only company executive who had appeared so far, Tian, and asked for his help.
Next, you just need to slowly narrow the scope to search.
As for whether the [Alliance] will continue to exist after this...
Honestly, no one cares.
Chapter 78 (5k)
A week passed just like this, during which time the scale of the confrontation on the five fronts was further escalated, the number of casualties on the [Alliance] side was increasing day by day, and on the other hand, the attack of the Destruction side, although there were still four masked Great Lords of Extinction who had not yet appeared on the ground, they suppressed the four fronts tightly. The only one who was doing better was Xianzhou Yaoqing. Under the personal leadership of Marshal "Hua", Yaoqing's strategic victory was vaguely surpassing that of the opponent, and a balance was vaguely shown between Yaoqing and Xingxiao.
During this period, Marshal "Hua" had fought unilaterally with Xing Xiao many times, but the two were evenly matched in terms of both force and strategy. For a while, this front became the most stable front except for the Star Train front.
Looking at the train side, under the dual guard of Luofu and the train, there is not even a shadow of a virtual soldier on the defense line here. Maybe the antimatter army has given up this route to enter the central galaxy, but this does not rule out that the enemy did it on purpose.
During this week, people within the Alliance were in panic. During this week, fleets transporting cargo were still attacked and suffered varying degrees of damage.
The progress on Walter's side was not smooth either. Even though he got approval from the company, and even though Ji Zi and Xing used their connections to invite several geniuses from the Genius Club, the scope of seeding was still confined to the large conference room.
Only representatives of various forces can enter the conference room...
Although Walter asked the geniuses to deduce as well, in the end, only their initial deduction stood up.
At present, we still need to find the whereabouts of this mysterious army, as well as the whereabouts of the Lord of Extinction who may be hiding everywhere!
Finally, Professor Veritas Latio, a scholar from the Polymath Society, made the most daring decision, which was also the simplest and most brutal method.
He will hide in the transported cargo, using himself as bait to lure out the big fish in the dark and find their location.
This method is the simplest and most direct, but also the most dangerous.
But in the face of everyone's dissuasion, this professor who called himself a mediocre person took out something in front of Heita's surprised eyes.
That is the rare item collected by the Black Tower, the Phase Spirit Fire!
With this thing, his safety was guaranteed, and the rest was left to them.
At the dock of Pierpoint, Latio walked into a container without saying goodbye to anyone and closed the door.
He only carried two books, some dry food, and a can of phase spirit fire.
Among the goods that were hijacked before, the company deliberately let the escort fleet deliver the supplies to the "hijackers". The company's hidden locators were placed in those goods. As long as the locator paused at a certain place, the company would find the hiding place of those guys!
But the strange thing is that the cargo equipped with the locator lost its trace after being hijacked by those guys, and the locator did not play its due role. It even lost contact before it lasted for ten kilometers.
This is the real reason why Professor Latio took the risk. According to him, he was just a mediocre person who was good at solving problems with the simplest methods.
So, the cargo spaceship carrying the professor set sail. Only Walter and a few geniuses knew about this. Even the soldiers who were transporting the cargo did not know that there was a living person in the cargo box.
Of course, Walter also told Winder and Jizi about this matter. After Winder learned about Professor Latio's plan, he went straight back to his bedroom, used his glasses to cross the star fields, and directly locked onto the spaceship where Latio was.
Compared to the "biological gene detection radar" provided by the geniuses, Winder still felt that it was more reliable to watch it with his own eyes using glasses.
As it turned out, his idea was not wrong.
From the moment the cargo ship started, Winder's eyes keenly sensed that something was wrong again.
So he turned his eyes and focused on the engine at the back of the cargo ship.
In the booster engine, several colors that were obviously not related to energy reactions shook a few times.
Zooming in on the view, Winder found something unexpected.
If he remembered correctly, the name of these things should be... "Sui Yang".
"Could it be..."
Winder seemed to have thought of something, but he did not rush to draw conclusions. Instead, he continued to watch the sailing ships.
Through the star track, the cargo spacecraft needs to make two jumps before it can reach the front line. During this period, there is a very long distance. The cargo spacecraft must rely on its own power to navigate six systems without making a jump before it can reach another star track and start the jump in the lower part.
It was the distance of these six systems that caused the loss of so many supplies on these fronts, causing panic among the people.
Winder's eyes had been fixed on the cargo ship carrying "Doctor Truth" since the first jump. Then, when the cargo ship reached the end of four systems and thirty-eight minutes on this route, the entire cargo fleet and the escort formation were once again attacked fiercely!
The direction of attack is to the rear and left side of their left half, and to the right!
These attacks were based on nearby planets and asteroid belts, so much so that Winder was initially unaware of the location of those who launched the attacks.
But then, following the traces of their attack, Winder found their hiding place.
When Winder saw the true faces of the attackers, his heart sank instantly...
They are not soldiers of the Antimatter Legion, but... "Cruel Creatures of Abundance".
The evil creature of abundance, Sui Yang... these two discoveries irritated Winder's nerves. Could it be that the pharmacist of [Abundance] had met his end without knowing it
No... No, there is something wrong with these creatures of abundance...
Winder once again turned his gaze to this group of "abundant evil creatures" and after observing them carefully, he found many things wrong.
The armor on these creatures of abundance... seems to be quite uniform... as if they were carved from the same mold, even the branches and trunks on their bodies are in the same position...
If this were in a game, it would be understandable. After all, why go out of your way to do a bunch of different things when one model can do them all
But this is the reality, and Winder happened to have treated many Cloud Cavalry soldiers who were trapped in the evil spirit body.
When people fall into the devil's shadow and are deeply trapped in the curse, they will become "rich evil creatures", and the twisted branches on their bodies that corrode them all the time are the curse of immortality...
Well... well, Winder found the "highlight", these guys... He is a virtual soldier of the Antimatter Corps wearing the cosplay costume of the Monster of Abundance!
etc…
