As a future ace player, 'calmness' was the foundation of the foundation. Meng Lichuan considered himself to be a man who wouldn't change his attitude even when a planet was about to collapse. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to fight his way through the battles from the clubs in the periphery of

Team Moon Shadow to the young warriors, and then from the young warriors to the third team, the second team, and even to the point where he could represent the first team and compete with the top experts from the military on the peak battlefield.

But right now, although she had been training for almost thirty years, her iron-like nerves were showing signs of breaking down. She was about to curse him without caring about anything else—there was no way that she could win the battle!

'Meng Lichuan was a talent in operations in the team. To put it simply, he was planning and distributing the assets of the fleet, mainly the distribution of fuel and ammunition.

In the unprecedented virtual war, hundreds of supply ships were directly under her command. Her task was to send the supply ships to where they were needed most safely and quickly.

'Meng Lichuan was absolutely confident in what he was best at.

Many veteran members of Team One often joked that, with Meng Lichuan's management, there was no need for any tricks. All they needed to do was sprint forward.

Even the military had tried to poach Meng Lichuan several times, hoping that he could join the federal army. With the talent that she showed in the virtual world, it was not impossible for her to become the real commander of a supply fleet or even the advisor of the commander-in-chief who was

responsible for logistics.

In the battles over the past day and night, Meng Lichuan had performed his talents and hard work to the best of his ability and completed the task that the team assigned to her. The supply ships commanded by her braved the furious attacks of the enemy and moved through the battle lines smoothly,

making sure that the iron beasts that looked like bottomless pits were firing nonstop and launching glamorous attacks like mercury!

Unfortunately.

The tactical advantage was not enough to offset the strategic disadvantage.

The expedition army controlled by Meng Lichuan and her companions was almost flawless in every detail of the battlefield, but they were still unable to resist the tide of destruction of the fleet of the Sanctuary Alliance.

Under the fearless and even suicidal attacks of the members of the Sanctuary Alliance, the virtual federal army and the virtual imperial army did not cooperate well. They were wary of each other and even hoped that their 'friends' would be killed first. Very soon, the gap between them was discovered by

the members of the Sanctuary Alliance, and a fatal wound was torn open. The imperial army and the federal army were separated and attacked separately.

Under the furious assault of the enemy, the supply ships under Meng Lichuan's control were burning and exploding one after another. Even if they arrived next to the arsenals in time, it would still be difficult for them to complete the supply mission in the surging battlefield. Often, they would be buried

together with the arsenals.

Later, even the flagship of Meng Lichuan's supply fleet was captured. She was forced to withdraw from the battlefield after a series of dazzling fireballs.

What the heck!

Meng Lichuan could not have been more furious. He slapped the neural interaction liquid next to him so hard that the cold mucus was almost ignited by her fury. "How did the director set up the rules of deduction? It's not fair. The casualty rate of the fleet of the Sanctuary Alliance is more than 50%, but

the morale of the fleet is not affected at all, and the salvo is not affected, either. Isn't it outrageous?"

"Don't be hasty. I'm told that the members of the Star Glory Federation are like that.

"According to the latest intelligence sent back by the Star Ocean Imperium, in the wars between the Star Ocean Imperium and the Star Ocean Imperium, there were even cases where the casualty rate of the fleet of the Star Ocean Imperium reached 70% and yet they did not retreat. After all, the people of

the Star Ocean Imperium were different from normal people. They had no fear, no discouragement, and no fear of death. They were nothing but killing machines that were as cold as steel. You may consider that the people of the Star Ocean Imperium had the talent to 'lock onto morale'. That was their

specialty!

"Alright. I can accept the fact that the members of the Sanctuary Alliance can 'lock onto morale', but what about us 'friends'?

Meng Lichuan was still angry. He gnashed his teeth and said, "The morale of the allies of the imperium is too low. They are about to collapse. What's the big deal about that? Aren't we helping them defend the capital city? We must show them that we will live or die with the capital city no matter what!"

"Well, there is a good reason for that.

His companion explained to the 'genius' who had just joined Team One and did not know what was going on yet. "According to the design of the director team, in fact, the revolutionaries in the deduction are fighting on two fronts. Other than the invasion of the Holy Alliance, they are also faced with the

insurrection of the remaining members of the electors in the rear. Also, their backgrounds are too complicated, and they have not fought for a long time. Their teamwork with us is not very good. It is not strange that their morale is low!

Meng Lichuan took a deep breath and bellowed, "What about us? Why is the morale of our federal expedition army affected by the d*mn setting, too? The entire army was shaken when the casualty rate was less than twenty percent. Are we Cultivators that weak?"

"This is based on the military's comprehensive understanding of the psychological state of the grassroots soldiers.

The companion continued. "Of course, the psychologists and the Meditation Healers have their own professional judgements. Anyway, according to the mentality of the soldiers at the grassroots level in the military right now, if they encounter a minor setback after they jump to the center of the sea of

stars, their morale will plummet. You know, not everyone is as confident as you are that the final victory will be ours!"

Meng Lichuan was dazed for a long time. He stared at the blinking super crystal processors above his head and could only curse helplessly.

It was true that she was a zealot and an unwavering 'victor'. She believed that the federation and the Cultivators were invincible. She also believed that she would bum brightly in the 'greatest war'.

This kind of mentality was perhaps similar to that of his blood brother, Meng Xiaolang, who was trying to fight for his grandfather and help his grandfather get back the face he lost at Vulture Li Yao's place a hundred years ago.

The poor girl did not know that her grandfather and Li Yao did not have any conflicts and were best friends.

She did not intend to do anything to Li Yao. However, if she could rise to fame and prove that Meng Jiang's granddaughter was better than Li Yao's granddaughter, she believed that her grandfather would be very happy.

Of course, Li Yao didn't seem to have a granddaughter yet. He didn't even have any children.

Allin all, Meng Lichuan was such a confident man.

But today, for the first time in her life, she had tasted the taste of a crushing defeat, and it was so frustrating!

Strategical deduction was not a real war after all. It was impossible to summon tens of thousands of professionals to participate. Therefore, the super players could still return to the battlefield with new identities after 'unfortunate deaths'.

However, he would be punished with a certain amount of cooldown time.

Meng Lichuan's cooldown was fifteen minutes.

According to the flow of time according to the strategy, it would be a few hours on the battlefield.

She silently operated her mental cultivation technique, allowing her spiritual energy to slowly flow along her cerebrovascular vessels to cool down her brain, which was about to explode. In passing, she opened the "Glorious Expedition, Summit Confrontation" forum and browsed through the public's

comments regarding the battle. Just a moment ago, in the sea of stars where the flames of war were raging, every brain cell was stuffed with battlefield data. How could she have the time to care about these things?

As she expected, the Moon Shadow Team, which represented the expedition army of the federation, had performed terribly. Everybody was greatly shocked.

Before the match began, the forum had been filled with positive and optimistic voices. The public believed that, even if the federal army could not win the match easily, it could at least help the revolutionaries defend the defense line of Empyreal Terminus so that the Star Glory Federation and the

Sanctuary Alliance would be engaged in a contest of flesh and blood. Then, the federal army would decide what to do in the end.

"Things are different now. The federation today has digested most of the technology and knowledge of the Kunlun Mysterious Land. The combat ability of the Burning Prairie Fleet is even higher than that of the Black Wind Fleet. It is rarely matched in the center of the sea of stars!

"That's right. If the soldiers of the Star Glory Federation were really so strong, they wouldn't have been unable to break through the defense line for a thousand years. The imperial army alone was enough to stop the soldiers of the Star Glory Federation, not to mention the federal army now!

"I don't think the strategical deduction is good enough. It is not realistic enough. What we should worry about most is not the people of the Star Glory Federation, but whether or not the imperium will abandon us and shoot us in the back!

"It's impossible. The battlefield is set in the capital city of the imperium. If we have to fight to the death, we might as well crush the hearts of the citizens of the imperium!"

The great victory over the Black Wind Fleet a few years ago had melted into the bones of the people and become the belief of countless people of the federation. Such blindly confident statements were everywhere.

In the middle of the battle, the morale of the coalition army of the Star Glory Federation, the Star Glory Federation, and the Star Glory Federation fell much faster than anybody expected.

Just as many experts had predicted, arrogance and inferiority were two sides of the same coin. The pride that was inflated by a victory could also be completely extinguished by a defeat or even a failure.

"The people of the Sanctuary are so strong? Lunatics. They are a bunch of out-and-out lunatics!"

"Are you kidding me? Isn't it too exaggerated that the director team is comparing the capability of our enemy?"

"Only a dozen days have passed in the strategical deduction. The capital that the federation has painstakingly accumulated for decades has been lost so much?"

"How are we going to fight the war? No. The federation cannot jump into such a pit of fire without a good reason. We have to think about it carefully. We have to think about the reasons why we have to join the war. By the way, this is not a trap of the 'reformist Immortal Cultivators' who are asking us to

be buried with them on purpose, is it? As I said, there are no good people in the Immortal Cultivators. The reformists and the survivors of the election are all jackals of the same tribe. They are all Immortal Cultivators!

Comments such as sighing and gritting their teeth gradually became mainstream on the forum.

Even the polls of several authoritative websites were dropping in the direction of 'think before you act'. Less than 40% of the people still supported the idea of an expedition to the center of the sea of stars as soon as possible..
