Boss Bai told Li Yao that, according to his previous understanding and recent contact, especially after carefully analyzing Yun Xuefeng's battles in the "Imperium's counterattack", he had discovered that, while the guy was not exactly a good-for-nothing, he was definitely not a distinguished general either. He was just a qualified commander with abundant experience at best.
The problem was that the consecutive victories in the "Imperium's counterattack" injected illusory pride and arrogance into Yun Xuefeng's head, giving him the illusion that he was really one of the "Twin Paragons of the Imperium" on par with Lei Chenghu. He had been trying to compete with Lei Chenghu in every way. After Lei Chenghu publicly joined the reformists, he even declared that he would meet Lei Chenghu in the space battlefield sooner or later and fight him to the death.
"On the surface, both Yun Xuefeng and Lei Chenghu have secured glorious victories in the Imperium's counterattack, but Yun Xuefeng is commanding one of the most elite fleets in the Imperium and has the support of the incessant resources from the four families. Lei Chenghu, on the other hand, is commanding a bunch of miscellaneous troops that are short of ammunition and resources. Naturally, the two commanders are much stronger than each other."
Boss Bai said, "Yun Xuefeng knows himself that his so-called title of 'Twin Paragons of the Imperium' is more of a flattery than anything else. That makes him even more infuriated and frustrated. He is determined to prove that he is stronger than Lei Chenghu.
"With such a mindset, it is very easy for the commander to attack recklessly in a battle. If the Business Alliance of Ten Thousand Sectors sets up a few traps against his eagerness to win, he will certainly be fooled."
Yun Xuefeng was the commander of the coalition fleet of the four families. Naturally, he and the Yun family behind him wanted to finish the battle as quickly as possible and finish the Business Alliance of Ten Thousand Sectors as easily as possible.
However, the Song family, whose overall strength was on par with the Yun family, did not think so.
The commander of the battle was Yun Xuefeng. If Yun Xuefeng distinguished himself on the battlefield and won an overwhelming victory, the influence of the Yun family would immediately soar ten times. Countless forces would follow the Yun family's lead. The new emperor would probably be a puppet of the Yun family, too.
This was something that the Song family was extremely unwilling to accept.
Therefore, they had to win, but the "Adamantine Fleet" that belonged to the Song family would not work too hard. It was possible that they would simply watch the Yun family's fleet commanded by Yun Xuefeng and the Business Alliance of Ten Thousand Sectors fight a life-and-death battle. They might even hinder the battle from behind so that the Yun family and the Business Alliance of Ten Thousand Sectors would both suffer heavy losses.
For the Song family, the best outcome of the battle would be for Yun Xuefeng's fleet to suffer a certain loss on the battlefield. Then, Yun Xuefeng would be utterly humiliated. Then, the Song family's fleet would come out to salvage the situation and secure a glorious victory.
In such a way, the Yun family would be the scapegoat, and the Song family would take all the credit. Naturally, the future emperor would be the member of the royal family that the Song family favored.
With such a subtle calculation, the Yun family's fleet and the Song family's fleet were allies in name, and the Song family's fleet was theoretically under Yun Xuefeng's command. But when it came to a real battlefield … Who could tell what would happen?
As for the Li family and the Dongfang family, they could not compete with the Yun family and the Song family for the time being. They could only do as they were told.
However, the "Adamantine Super Arsenal Warships" were too precious. There were sixteen of them in total, and each family only had four. Also, they had been discontinued a long time ago. Even the docks and the relevant production lines had been dismantled or modified beyond recognition.
Every Adamantine Super Arsenal Warship was unique. Every one that was blown up would mean one less.
The Li family and the Dongfang family had already suffered heavy losses. If they lost a few more Adamantine Super Arsenal Warships in the war to annihilate a bunch of "pawns", wouldn't they be getting themselves killed?
Therefore, the Li family and the Dongfang family huddled together. No matter how Yun Xuefeng tempted them, they had the same attitude. The two families had been too exhausted in the previous phase, and the main attack of the battle would certainly be given to the Yun family and the Song family. They would rather cheer and support from the rear! They would stand on the side of whoever allowed them to preserve their strength. If Yun Xuefeng forced them to charge to the frontline to be killed, the two families would simply stand on the Song family's side and support the emperor that the Song family proposed.
Not just Yun Xuefeng, who was merely a military commander, even the leader of the Yun family, the cunning Kurfürst of the Yun family, could not do anything about the Li family and the Dongfang family.
"All in all, this is the problem within the coalition fleet of the four families right now."
Boss Bai concluded, "Led by Yun Xuefeng, the commander, the Yun family sincerely wants to try their best and finish the battle as soon as possible. However, the allies all have their own plans. The Song family hopes that the Yun family will suffer great losses so that they will have a chance to reverse the situation. The Li family and the Dongfang family, on the other hand, want to preserve their strength so that they can make up for the losses in the previous phase without any trouble. As for the troops of the other warlords and the miscellaneous troops, they are all indecisive traitors. If the free coin in their hands could appreciate by 100%, they would betray any master without batting an eye!
"For such an unprecedented and overwhelming 'coalition army of a million starships' with so many internal conflicts, although it is not certain that they will fail, it is indeed possible that they will be defeated!"
After hearing Boss Bai's introduction, Li Yao was stunned for a long time. Rather amused, he said, "The four Kurfürst families are still playing such a game of intrigue and internal strife when the enemy is right in front of them. I really don't know what to say about them!"
"When a country is about to perish, there are bound to be monsters. It's always the case at the end of any dynasty."
Boss Bai laughed aloud and said, "Also, you have reversed the relationship. It is exactly because of the internal strife of the four families that the reformists are able to take advantage of the situation and rise. That's why they are faced with such a great enemy!
"You can't change your habit. Do you think that the leadership of the four Kurfürst families will wake up and unite and respect each other just because they have lost the capital? How is it possible? "
"That does make sense."
Li Yao was convinced by Boss Bai. On second thought, it did make sense. Where there were people, there would be conflicts of interests, and where there were conflicts of interests, there would be disputes. Even the Xing Yao Federation, a small country that only controlled almost ten Sectors, had conflicts between the "core worlds" and the "peripheral worlds" when it was faced with the assault of the Black Wind Fleet. Ding Ling Dong and Jin Xinyue had been at loggerheads for that. Had Li Yao not returned in time, there was no telling what the outcome of their fight would have been.
Not to mention the scale and the intensity of the conflicts of interests in the Imperium of True Human Beings were ten times larger than the Xing Yao Federation. It would be a miracle if the Immortal Cultivators who believed in "every man for himself" stopped fighting and scheming so easily.
Li Yao's eyes flashed as he continued asking, "Now that the coalition fleet of the four families has such deep conflicts, what should we do next?"
"To deal with the situation where all the branch fleets were scattered randomly in the entire universe after the 'blind jump' to the Seven Seas Space Zone, the coalition fleet of the four families has activated the most advanced rapid response command chain system known as the 'Flying Lightning Command Chain'."
Boss Bai said, "The super command chain based on the super powerful Spiritual Nexus, signal enhancement, and brand-new algorithms is more than 30% more powerful than the old command chain system. It can help the lone starships reach out to their allies and their flagship quickly. If the flagship is too far away to be reached for the time being, it will also automatically connect the starships to the command system of the starships of the highest level nearby, where temporary battle units will be condensed according to the best ratio of different starships such as interferential warships, arsenal warships, shield warships, comprehensive supply warships, and so on.
"At my behest, Li Wuji has been very close to Yun Xuefeng. He has even secretly pledged his loyalty to Yun Xuefeng. For Yun Xuefeng right now, the loyalty of a marquess from the Li family is exactly what he needs. Also, the 'National Protection Army' has indeed achieved remarkable accomplishments recently, which have demonstrated our magnificent strength. Yun Xuefeng has no choice but to think highly of us.
"Therefore, Yun Xuefeng trusts Li Wuji very much right now. In the command system of the 'Flying Lightning Command Chain', he has given Li Wuji, or the 'National Protection Army', a very high clearance.
"What does that mean? It means that when the million starships of the coalition fleet of the four families jump to the Seven Seas Space Zone at the same time, and all the branch fleets are dispersed and have to be regrouped and regrouped, my flagship 'Alloy Virus' will become a temporary command center. All the starships within millions of kilometers will have to be under my command temporarily.
"If you can control a space gate, our fleet will be able to jump over and maintain the highest combat ability. In such a way, when the lone starships that are scattered among the stars nearby approach us, they will be easily subdued by us and join our battle formation. Hehe. Once those starships accept my command and open all the clearances of their mainframe crystal processors to us, it will be too late for them to break free!
"Just like that, we will gather the lone starships and find the coordinates of Yun Xuefeng's four Adamantine Super Arsenal Warships. Once we find the coordinates, we will immediately send them to the Business Alliance of Ten Thousand Sectors and ask them to attack Yun Xuefeng's fleet. Trust me, the fleet commanders of the Song family, the Li family, and the Dongfang family will only burst into laughter when they hear that Yun Xuefeng is suffering losses. They will certainly not come to his rescue immediately.
