CHAPTER 205: CHAPTER 162: MARITIME SITUATION, FANG YU’S OBJECTIVE

This is indeed a battle of attack and defense.

The current situation is that the alien warlords are launching relentless attacks on the archipelago of the Duorong Federation every day.

In the forums, there are countless complaints from old comrades about the exhausting and tiring task of garrisoning the archipelago daily.

Each alien is inexplicably fanatic, treating their own lives as if they don’t matter.

Even when killed, they might drag you along for a self-destructive explosion.

This has led to the archipelago of the Duorong Federation being under great pressure, engaging in intense warfare every day.

Even the slightest negligence could easily lead to the loss of a strategic point.

Of course... such a method of attack by the enemy is actually very extreme.

It focuses on a burst of energy, followed by fatigue, and finally exhaustion.

Human lives are thrown in as if they cost nothing.

If they can capture it, then naturally everything is easy to explain, with the advantage lying with us.

But if they can’t capture it, with such terrifying losses for the Alien Race, they definitely won’t be able to sustain it for long.

However...

Fang Yu feels that although the Alien Race suffers great casualties, they may not lose their madness so quickly.

Because he has more than once seen forum comrades, after capturing alien soldiers, learn from them the reason behind this outbreak of alien warfare.

It involves not only the marine warlords but also a cult organization of the Alien Race.

These cult organizations possess some kind of ability to beguile people.

They can easily trigger the combat instincts of an alien, turning them into fearsomely fearless deadly fighters.

The start of the conflict is actually far more complicated than Fang Yu and others imagined.

Ordinary soldiers might be afraid.

But fanatical cultists do not understand fear.

In the face of continuing onslaughts, they might indeed produce some miraculous effects.

However, this level of warfare, to be honest, is slightly high-end for Fang Yu personally.

Even a Blue Star Captain of the ship level is considered cannon fodder in this level of warfare.

Only seasoned Blue Star Captains of ship level (level 35-40) have the right to display powerful personal abilities in this war.

No rush... not being able to participate now doesn’t mean not being able to participate later.

Fang Yu still has three months.

In these three months, he will improve significantly and surely reach the moment where he can join this level of battle.

So...

Fang Yu is currently only collecting intelligence, while his focus is mainly on the second type of Sea Ore Island.

The second type of Sea Ore Island is a large Sea Ore Island like Nanchuan Island.

This type of Sea Ore Island has an area and resources more than ten times stronger than Sea Ore Islands like Lvchun Island.

Although its strategic significance can’t compare to archipelago-level Sea Ore Islands,

every large Sea Ore Island can also be considered a strategic point, representing the progress of the armies on both sides.

Imagine if all the large Sea Ore Islands surrounding an archipelago were occupied by enemy forces, then this archipelago, even if it were easier to defend and harder to attack, would eventually be surrounded and gradually devoured, captured by the large Sea Ore Islands coming from around it.

This is very much like the attack and defense battles of ancient times on the Blue Star.

The archipelago is an administrative unit, the most crucial of all.

Whereas large Sea Ore Islands are like states and counties.

If the enemy keeps conquering and occupying the states and counties, then the administrative cities can’t hold on for much longer either.

The victory of each massive battle is a combination of countless small expansions and victories.

So... large Sea Ore Islands, even small Sea Ore Islands like Lvchun Island, are very important.

And so far, based on clues Fang Yu has gathered respectively from forums and military intelligence stations,

there are a total of 69 large Sea Ore Islands.

Of which 35 are in the hands of the Duorong Federation’s military, while 34 have been conquered by the alien warlords.

It’s nearly an even split.

But... the situation among them is also not optimistic.

Currently, the vast majority of the large Sea Ore Islands are primarily focused on defense and have made no active attacks.

The military forces are tight, and many Blue Star Captains, in fact, prioritize executing tasks cautiously, without a strong offensive, overall mindset.

This has resulted in the entire battlefield, apart from the one military strategic point previously captured by Fang Yu, not having made any corresponding achievements to capture large Sea Ore Islands.

Always on the defensive, or...

Losing ground + failing in attacks.

Only Fang Yu’s battle on Lvchun Island stands out significantly.

At this moment, Fang Yu finally understands why those military bigwigs regard him like a hot cake.

And he also understands why the military is so eager for him, along with Shi Jun and others, to immediately become commanders and lead the army into this war.

How could they not be eager?

In a pool of stagnant water that only knows passive defense, a few catfish suddenly emerge.

So strikingly noticeable that the military bigwigs seem to see some kind of hope, promptly giving these few individuals their respective appointment letters.

Actually, Fang Yu can easily deduce that whether it’s Kong Huaao or Hu Yuntao, no matter which military group’s leader, their expectations for Fang Yu, Shi Jun, and other new commanders are...

To capture large Sea Ore Islands, then gradually devour and establish an advantage.

At this moment, Fang Yu felt a strong political intuition.

Maybe...

The entire military high command is actually keeping an eye on this war.

He and Shi Jun, among others, seemingly have formed a competitive relationship.
