Chapter 525: Discussion
“According to the intelligence gathered, the coalition has mobilized 93 civilizations for this campaign, with a total of 3 billion warships. They are divided into 90 routes, advancing towards us based on their respective races and alliance factions,” a Blade reported the collected intelligence.
“90 routes? That averages out to just over 30 million ships per route. There’s a lot of room for manipulation here.”
“They didn’t consolidate their forces. They must be quite confident.”
“As mentioned earlier, they are advancing by race and alliance, with 93 civilizations divided into 90 routes. It’s to be expected.”
“Perhaps they didn’t anticipate that we would decide to take the initiative and strike first.”
“Let’s not be overconfident. With 90 routes attacking 9 star systems, that’s 10 routes per star system. If their starting points are close, their flight paths will likely overlap, making it almost the same as consolidating their forces. Maybe they’re waiting for us to take the initiative and attack them.”
“Currently, out of the 90 coalition routes, we have gathered information on all their flight paths, but we can only monitor about half of them in real-time. Our influence hasn’t penetrated the mid-rim civilizations yet.”
“This is somewhat troublesome. If they change course midway and set up traps without our knowledge, we could be at a disadvantage.”
“There’s no need to worry about that. Although the mid-rim civilizations’ fleets have been hidden in warp bubbles for decades and have just emerged, the Swarm’s seeds have already been planted during their rest period. I will request the Overlord to accelerate the incubation of these seeds,” Sarah interjected. This issue was beyond the capabilities of the Blades; only the Overlord could resolve it.
