Chapter 1592: Chapter 515: How Old Are You? (6k)
"Jue Nalu, you were right. Those guys really opened the gate at that location!
It’s a pity they ran too fast. The moment they saw me, they immediately abandoned the Divine Arts, not even sending a single warship over before decisively cutting it off..."
Returning to the warship once more with the high-level strong person, Bai Yi spoke with some regret.
Just now, when she brought people to that planet, she was still hoping for a chance to engage in a small-scale war.
On one hand, to buy some time, while also destroying some warships.
When the Teleportation Gate opened, Bai Yi was already prepared for battle, ready to face a group of high-level believers again.
Unexpectedly, after the Teleportation Gate opened, on the other side, the blue-robed Favored who previously cast an Ice Divine Arts and was repelled by her, only glanced at her as if seeing a ghost and immediately cut off the Divine Arts.
Really now, am I really that terrifying...
Recalling that scene, Bai Yi couldn’t help but silently jest in her heart.
"Across the entire Constant Star System, there are only so many planets that meet the requirements. Excluding a few of the most distant ones, this planet was the most suitable.
However, it was somewhat unexpected that they would be so decisive in their retreat.
Hmm, probably because Fan Mao personally came to suppress the Teleportation Gate once..."
Jue Nalu recalled the battle not long ago, remembering how Fan Mao led people and, despite the interference of a group of high-level believers, managed to suppress that Teleportation Gate. It wasn’t hard to understand the believers’ decision.
Even with so much assistance at that time, they couldn’t bring the fleet through, and several high-level believers perished as a result.
Facing Fan Mao with the same group of people once again, they no longer had as many high-level believers. Given that combat would result in needless sacrifice, retreating was the best option.
"It’s just a shame; according to the original plan, if they tried to open the Teleportation Gate every time and launched a small-scale war, it could delay quite a bit more.
Though those believers take a lot of time each time they try to open the Teleportation Gate, every bit of delay counts...
Oh right! Since they abandoned it decisively after seeing me and realizing there’s a vast combat disparity with no hope of breaking through, what if they could see hope..."
Bai Yi excitedly turned to Jue Nalu, and with his military acumen, he understood Bai Yi’s meaning in an instant.
This was also a tactic they often used, offering some bait to lure the enemy, making the enemy engage in battle for various reasons.
It’s just that the bait they often used was generally a target the enemy had to capture or a special item and location beneficial to the enemy.
However, in Fan Mao’s proposed plan, the bait wasn’t something tangible but rather the "hope to successfully send the fleet through."
This is like the common tactics used by companies in the Saien Civilization.
If they suddenly offer a price far beyond one’s means, the disparity would make one realize it immediately, extinguishing any desire to buy.
Yet those companies often use various means to make prices seem affordable, making people impulsively feel they might afford to try.
Even if the final price might be higher than buying outright, it still attracts many people willing to invest.
Even Jue Nalu himself, when young, fell into a similar trap, spending nearly two years of salary repaying for a bottle of High Order Potion.
The memory of that tactic was deeply etched.
Shaking his head to dispel his memories, Jue Nalu nodded solemnly.
"I think it’s feasible, at least worth a try!"
Receiving approval from the fleet commander, Bai Yi felt a surge of joy in her heart.
Of course, the plan couldn’t be executed based solely on an idea.
Those believers weren’t fools; if the combat strength layout was unreasonable, they would instantly realize it’s a trap.
It’s like those expensive goods; if someone tells you you can buy them for just a dollar, anyone normal would immediately doubt it.
The combat strength level needs to be meticulously calculated, enough for the believers to see hope, but not so much that it arouses suspicion.
Or it needs to make even those who notice something amiss willing to invest because of the hope of success.
After discussing specific details with Jue Nalu, they finalized the plan.
Bai Yi would personally lead half the personnel to the predetermined coordinates, disguising it as splitting forces.
With only half the high-tier combat power, and due to distance, they couldn’t receive the fleet’s firepower support; the other half of the high-tier extraordinaries also couldn’t reach quickly.
It’s enough for those believers to see hope and be willing to send the fleet for a try.
Even if it failed, Bai Yi could bring them all back. At most, it would mean entering the fleet’s artillery duel sooner.
Moreover, Bai Yi was confident in handling most unexpected situations.
Her trump cards "Chaos" and "Silence" were yet to be revealed! Plus, the rest of the high-tier extraordinaries weren’t actually heading in another direction but were in concealment nearby.
Enough to avert most unexpected scenarios.
"Then it’s decided. By my calculations, their next Teleportation Gate preparation should be nearing completion. Where’s the next coordinate?"
"It’s near this location.
From my calculations, since their plan for this planet has failed, they won’t consider the remaining planets but will choose a position difficult for us to reach directly.
