After reading the two instructions, Xia Xiu stood in the office of the director of Helselem Tower. A blue virtual panel appeared in front of him, and the flowing light made his face look even more grim.

While browsing the specific contents of the two supreme orders, he called out the think tank AI——[Adam].

"What is Eden's war intensity assessment and support level for the first expedition?" Xia Xiu asked [Adam].

[Adam] immediately started running, and a series of rapidly jumping characters and data appeared on the virtual panel.

[Searching——]

After a second's pause, the mechanical voice continued:

[This operation is the linkage mechanism of heaven——]

[Linkage mechanism: All departments of Heaven (including but not limited to task force, containment room research institute, resource allocation center, etc.) must immediately invest corresponding resources to ensure the smooth progress of the operation——]"

[Eden’s resource scheduling for the intensity of this war is: Ω5~Ω5.5]

When Xia Xiu heard this assessment, his eyes narrowed slightly and his brows furrowed even more.

"Is the intensity level so high?"

He murmured in a low voice, with a trace of doubt and heaviness in his tone.

"Is it because the [Mi.G] family holds Miracle Fragments, or is it because the Ilishid Empire itself is a high threat?"

While he was thinking, he reached out and swiped the screen to bring up the comparative data on the intensity of the war.

The fluctuation of Ω5~Ω5.5 is already close to the intensity of the war between him and Green Sun.

The battle at that time not only consumed huge Ether resources, but also temporarily raised it to Ω6 in the final stage, which was enough to show its destructive power.

The war between the Kingdom of Heaven and the [King of Volcanoes] was marked as an intensity of Ω7~Ω7.5. The degree of destruction almost caused the complete collapse of the nearby ether space, along with Callisto and several similar nearby stars.

The earth planet was also affected.

[Adam] faced Xia Xiu's question and gave the answer in his usual calm and precise tone.

[Comprehensive analysis shows that the fluctuation range of the intensity of this war is mainly caused by the superposition of two factors, and there is still the possibility of ascending order——]

[First, the biotechnology and spiritual technology of the Mi·Go family are highly integrated, and the two work together to create a threat level that far exceeds the conventional;

Secondly, the star realm is an extremely complex geographical dimension, and its particularity provides the enemy with a natural defensive advantage, significantly increasing the uncertainty of the battle situation.

To sum up, the intensity of this war has reached Ω5~Ω5.5, and may further increase due to the development of the situation (there is a possibility of ascending Ω6).]

"Understood."

Xia Xiu whispered, with a bit of solemnity in his voice.

The war before us is obviously not an easy conquest, but a far-reaching strategic battle.

If you are not fully prepared in advance, you will be sucked into a deeper whirlpool if you are not careful.

With the attitude of the Golden Court and all the forces towards the Kingdom of Heaven, if one is not careful, the intensity of the war will advance in a direction that is unfavorable to the Kingdom of Heaven.

After a moment of silence, his thoughts gradually became clearer and he began to sort out the plans for the next war.

I. Plan ahead to determine the claimed location.

According to the requirements of the Golden Law, war is not only a plunder of resources, but also an important means of claiming territory.

Before taking action, he must clarify his declared occupation goals and plan his management structure after the war is over.

This is not only the key to consolidating the fruits of victory after the war, but also the core link of a long-term strategy.

III Avoid multi-front combat and control the intensity of war.

Facing a battlefield whose intensity has reached Ω5, Xia Xiu must not easily trigger multi-front conflicts to avoid further escalation of the battle intensity.

Although [Crown] plays an important role in the battlefield of Omega 5 intensity, the scheduling of this war is different from previous wars.

The Omega 5 wars he participated in in the past were of high intensity and small scope.

The current war situation is - high intensity and huge scope.

As a [Crowned One], he does have powerful power that can change the situation of local battles, but even he cannot handle all conflict points simultaneously on such a huge scale.

He must quickly divide the forces within the star realm, accurately attack the key nodes of the Ilicid Empire, and at the same time prevent other potential forces from taking advantage of the situation.

He had to consider more details, such as the stability of the logistics line, the formation of task forces, and even battlefield psychological tactics needed to be arranged in advance.

On the vast astral battlefield, the [Crown One] fighting alone cannot change the overall situation of the war with his personal combat power alone like in the past.

Xia Xiu lowered his head and rubbed his chin with his right hand, a thoughtful look between his brows.

His eyes lowered slightly and fell on the entire star realm map on the virtual panel.

Countless complex nodes, lines and areas are intertwined into a fog, and behind the fog, there are unpredictable prospects for war.

What he was most worried about was the problems of logistical supply and population support during the war.

According to the provisions of the Golden Law, once the outpost or base established by the enemy's [Golden Branch Ya] is destroyed, the control of the area will be directly transferred to our own forces.

However, control is not secure, and once the enemy retakes these strongholds, the situation may reverse.

Xia Xiu took a deep breath and realized the current predicament of the three hospitals.

As a newly established force, neither the population reserve nor the progress of the three major technology trees are far from comparable to other departments of the Kingdom of Heaven.

Even if he has mobilized the population resources of the Honkai Administration to the limit and devoted them to the war, he can only barely maintain it.

Under such conditions, a large-scale war would be tantamount to an overdraft for the fledgling Three Academies.

"The dispatch resources have been exhausted. The Kingdom of Heaven has indeed assigned me the 10th Heroic Regiment, but if I want more population resources later... the top management will not agree easily."

Xia Xiu whispered to himself, with a hint of helplessness and rationality in his tone.

He knew very well that the resource allocation of the Kingdom of Heaven was not unlimited, not to mention that the Three Houses were just emerging forces that had just emerged.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! In addition, there are still many things to deal with in the kingdom of heaven. The ether resources can be managed enough, but the population... he can only ask for more blessings.

After thinking about it, Xia Xiu's thoughts began to turn in another direction.

The essence of war is not only a contest of force, but also a political game.

His eyes gradually condensed, a glimmer of light appeared in his eyes, and the outline of his thoughts gradually became clearer.

"Adam..."

His voice was low and majestic, and the virtual projection of the think tank immediately appeared in front of him, with soft blue light blending into the panel.

"Who are the enemies of the Ilicid Empire?"

Xia Xiu asked slowly, with a hint of caution in his tone.

The enemy of my enemy is my friend.

The political nature of plane wars is ultimately about compromise.

No matter how dissatisfied they are with the Kingdom of Heaven, as long as there are enough benefits in front of them, no one will refuse the fat meat that comes to their doorstep.

[Retrieving...The hostile forces of the Ilishid Empire mainly include the following races or alliances in the star realm——]

[Search results completed!]

——The analysis of the main hostile forces and cooperation of the illithid is as follows——

[Gith Race—Eternal Enemy]

Hostility overview:

The Gith race is the main enemy of the illithids. Their ancestors were enslaved and transformed under the rule of the illithids, and then successfully rebelled and split into two camps:

Githyanki: Fiercely warlike and focused on revenge.

The Githzerai: The primacy of order, balancing the expansion of the illithid.

Strategic Analysis: Githyan: Good at fast attacks, with the red dragon knight and interstellar tactics as the core, able to launch devastating raids on illithid colonies in the astral plane.

Gith Philosopher: Good at psychological warfare, limiting the movement of illithids by establishing psychic barriers while providing stable defensive support.

Assessment: The Gith race has a deep hatred for the illithid and can be regarded as a potential ally. However, they have deep internal divisions and need to choose partners carefully.

[Umber Hulks - defected servants]

Hostility overview:

Originally biological weapons made by illithids, some clawed beasts escaped control due to their intellectual evolution and now harbor primitive hostility towards illithids.

Strategic analysis: Abyssal claw beasts focus on violent revenge and often attack illithid colonies and experimental facilities. They are cruel by nature, but do not have complex organizational capabilities.

Assessment: The Abyss Claw is suitable as a tool for attacking the illithid front line, but it needs to avoid losing control of its behavior and affecting the battle situation.

[Naga]

Hostility overview:

Taking advantage of their high intelligence and powerful psychic abilities, Naga regards the illithid as a threat to knowledge and order, and has long been indirectly fighting the illithid through the races of the Underdark.

Strategic analysis: Naga mainly uses magic and psychic attacks, and can achieve remarkable results in the field of mind control of illithids.

They are good at using the power of proxy races to indirectly weaken the power of the illithids.

Assessment: Naga has rich experience in fighting illithids and is a potential tactical partner.
