Chapter 1414: Chapter 532: The Plan Was Disrupted from the Start (Part 1)_3

As if he sensed Grune’s lack of confidence, Fudin proactively offered an explanation.

Five minutes later, the single-soldier arrays of the two sides collided.

The number of Red Blade warriors was about a million, while the Pirate Alliance warriors numbered ten million, with a force ratio of ten to one.

But something unexpected happened: the formation of one million Red Blade warriors pierced through the defense line of the Pirate Alliance warriors like a sharp sword.

The elite Trap Formation warriors at the forefront maintained an extremely high directional maneuverability during rapid advancement, and their weapon control level far exceeded that of the Pirate Alliance warriors.

For every loss of one Red Peak Army warrior, at least five Pirate Alliance warriors were exchanged.

At this point, even Fudin had to exclaim, "The training level of the people under Earl Red Blade is exceptionally high, and their equipment level far exceeds ours. They’re elites among elites. Even though the average Energy Level Index of both sides’ Professionals is roughly the same, when it comes to actual combat, this exchange ratio is astonishing. If we didn’t have the huge advantage of ten times the manpower, the outcome would be uncertain. Fortunately, the battlefield is large enough, diminishing the advantage of individual capabilities. If the numbers were equal, the likely exchange ratio would not be five to one, but one hundred to one."

Grune nervously said, "Will they break through our lines?"

"Of course not."

As their dialogue unfolded, the nearby combat was about to see its resolution within a few short minutes.

The elite Trap Formation warriors from Red Blade Star quickly reduced to less than a hundred thousand, making it difficult to form a large-scale assault formation in space.

The number of Pirate Alliance warriors also sharply decreased to about five million.

Red Blade warriors no longer blindly advanced, instead beginning to maneuver freely, with their highest priority on quickly killing nearby enemies, seemingly aiming to establish an information pivot on the spot for the rear assault Trap Formation fleet.

The slightly behind Trap Formation fleet did not slow down and continued to push forward.

As for the bulk of the Second Expeditionary Fleet further back, under the information and shield support provided by fifty Space Fortresses, they started spreading their formation, seemingly intending to face down the shrinking and suppressing Pirate Alliance formation.

The operation of the Red Blade Expeditionary Army was also within Fudin’s grasp.

With nothing to do for the moment, Fudin even had the leisure to act as a commentator for Grune, his distant relative.

He laughed, "The Red Blade Fleet operates this way to maximize their warship quality advantage and prevent us from compressing them too tightly and using Star Sky Level large-scale weapons for mass killing. On the surface, this is the correct strategy, but they overlook that once their own formation spreads out, the effectiveness of those large fortresses naturally diminishes. On the contrary, we can utilize the manpower advantage to continuously fragment the overall battlefield into countless small-scale battlegrounds, to surround and annihilate them."

"Marshal Pacquiao truly is thorough in his considerations," Grune sighed.

Fudin shook his head, "It’s not that I’m thorough; it’s that the Empire’s military command system is amazing. In such large-scale battlefields, the advantage of the Empire Super Network’s intelligence is too great, making personal abilities increasingly insignificant. You see, if it’s just a match to a standalone fight, those super-level professionals from Red Blade Star can kill our people one after another, but facing multiple enemies in a desperate siege, no matter how strong, they can only obediently wait for death. After all, even if it’s a one-to-one exchange of lives, it’s a big gain for us."

Elsewhere, Ren Zhong lay still with his eyes closed, appearing asleep in his armed battleship, but his mind was entirely clear. His consciousness was fully transferred to the Crystal Core Array Supercomputer of this specially designed battleship, where vast amounts of information were being transmitted through layer upon layer of tightly guarded artificial neural networks, delivering the captured information from numerous sensors on the battleship to his mind.

"Looking at" the warriors dying in droves up ahead, Ren Zhong didn’t feel particularly saddened.

He only felt a sense of absurdity and helplessness.

Clearly, it’s the interstellar era, and the war is interstellar warfare, yet the combat thinking and evolution of situations during battle are identical to the Soviet T34 tank arrays clashing with the Third Empire tank arrays in the first half of the 20th century, with both sides arranged on vast plains for a direct assault. It’s just so dull.

In fact, the tactical thinking probably doesn’t even surpass that of World War I or II.
