Chapter 570: Chapter 158: Who is the Prey? _2
After pondering for a while and failing to make any headway, Sandra blurted out, “What is Uncle Three trying to achieve?”
“How would I know?”
Lady Lisandra retorted naturally, “Even if I knew, why should I tell you?”
Sandra gritted her teeth, nearly being taken aback by this remark.
Regaining her composure, Sandra asked, “How should I respond in order to best comply with Uncle Three’s plan?”
“Respond as you see fit.”
Lady Lisandra’s attitude was nonchalant, “Just don’t die or get captured.”
“What if I kill them?”
Sandra came out with a sudden and chilling statement.
Lady Lisandra did not immediately respond, but studied Sandra’s feigned calmness with a steady gaze.
Mother and daughter stared at each other for a long while.
Sandra’s hands instinctively clenched the armrests of her chair, her back teeth gritted tightly, and stubbornly refused to divert her gaze.
Being scrutinized by a level six sage, even through a holographic projection, was unbearable.
The pressure was immense, like a deep, oppressive sea.
“Good.”
“That’s my daughter,” Lady Lisandra praised before easing the pressure in her gaze and promising seriously, “As long as you can do it, you have my permission to kill. Uncle Three will surely handle any resulting trouble.”
“Hmm.”
Sandra calmly acknowledged, quickly ending the communication manually shortly after.
She leaned back, breathing deeply to return to a normal state from the previous tense standoff.
After regaining her composure for a while, and ensuring her voice wouldn’t tremble, Sandra commanded, “Let’s have a brief meeting and discuss how we would counterattack.”
The members of the Mini Legion turned their seats to face Sandra, who was sitting on the captain’s chair.
For a moment, no one dared to speak first.
“Link, you speak first.”
Since no one spoke, Sandra appointed someone to speak first. Link was her first choice.
“I haven’t yet mastered the command skills for interstellar warfare, so I won’t mislead everyone.”
Link told the truth without feigning knowledge, refraining from giving improper advice.
Whether in the Junior or Senior Division, he had barely touched upon interstellar warfare in his course materials or own research.
Upon returning to the central campus for further study, Link had just selected the course on Strategy and Battle Tactics.
Two months have passed, and the course only covered topics like Different World Pioneer, behind-enemy-lines raid, and forced landing operations.
The topic of interstellar warfare would be taught at a later date.
Admitting one’s shortcomings was not shameful.
“I know even less about it.”
Jasmine, sitting next to Link, stated her opinion without waiting for Sandra to appoint her.
Lanny, who just advanced to a second level witch, hadn’t started further studies yet and was just like Link and Jasmine.
Tiffany and Fred were still first level witches. Whether they could strictly follow the instructions on interstellar warfare remained to be seen, let alone making contributions to the discussion.
The six children from prominent families studying in the main campus were familiar with interstellar warfare command since they had been second level witches for several years.
However, their previous experiences were insignificant and taken lightly.
Unlike now, a slight mistake could be life-threatening.
One by one, all of them chose their words carefully, afraid to speak at will.
Seeing this, Sandra felt the burden on her shoulders becoming heavier.
It was hard enough commanding a Mini Legion that consisted of only twelve people, including herself. Wouldn’t it be even harder to command a Sage-Level Legion composed of hundreds of witches?
“Hmm…”
After mulling it over for a while, Sandra didn’t push for further discussion, but instead ordered the Tower Spirit, “Develop two strategies and assess their feasibility. First, full speed ahead to shake off the pursuit; second, stay to fight back and annihilate the enemy.”
“Understood.”
Tower Spirit accepted the command.
Soon, it presented two strategies on the large screen and smaller screens at each operating station.
Link, like everyone else, carefully read the two strategies developed by the Tower Spirit.
The first one was to fully activate the curvature engine and enter curvature sailing mode to quickly reach the target world. The feasibility was 95.999%.
The second one was to first use the strong offensive power of the Cloud Rainbow starship to focus fire on one of the enemy fleets, trying to break or even annihilate them. Then utilize Cloud Rainbow’s high mobility to deal with the other fleet, and wait for Cloud Rainbow’s attack system to cool down. The feasibility was 65.45%.
Link didn’t know what model the Tower Spirit used for the prediction.
But judging from his own intuitive precognition, which was now under control, its accuracy was quite high.
So he was curious about the details of the attack plan that the Tower Spirit hadn’t brought up, as it involved the detailed configuration of the Cloud Rainbow starship.
The Tower Spirit’s plans and feasibility evaluations could only be used as a reference, not applied directly.
Sandra was aware of this basic sense.
The situation was currently stable and not urgent, so there was no need for immediate decisions.
With her right hand supporting her chin, Sandra began to contemplate profoundly.
Out in the starry expanse.
Lady Lisandra stood alone in the void, blocking two Sage-Level Legions from the Flame and Metal Trading Company and White Tower Alliance.
Moments later, two level six sages appeared before Lady Lisandra.
The three faced off.
Fighting two on her own, Lady Lisandra was having a hard time, yet she did not lose momentum.
