Extraordinary pedigree

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 hint of doubt and heaviness in his tone.

"Is it because the [Mi.G] family holds Miracle Fragments, or is it because the Ilicid 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 clan are highly integrated, and the two work together to create a threat level that far exceeds 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.

In summary, 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 surge towards the disadvantage of 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 clearly define his declared objectives for the occupation 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 battles and control the intensity of the 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 intense battlefield of Omega 5, 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 [Crown], 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 Ilishid 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 reverse 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 map of the star realm on the virtual panel.

Countless complex nodes, lines and areas are intertwined into a fog, and behind the fog lies an unpredictable prospect of war.

What worried him most was the issue 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 shaky and once the enemy retakes these strongholds, the tide can turn.

Xia Xiu took a deep breath and realized the current predicament of the third hospital.

As a newly established force, both its population reserves and the progress of the three major technology trees are far from being 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 Houses.

"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 allocation of resources in the Kingdom of Heaven was not unlimited, not to mention that the Third Academy was just an emerging force that had just emerged.

In addition, there are still many things to deal with in the Kingdom of Heaven, and the ether resources can be managed enough, but the population... he can only ask for his own 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 a 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 illithids is as follows——

[Gith—the 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 illithids.

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

Sage of Gith: Specialized in 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 from 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 possess 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.

This work is compiled and uploaded by Liujiu Book Bar~~

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

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

[Edici Federal Mayflower Foundation]

Cause of hostilities: Merchant ship attacks.

The Illithid Empire launched an attack on the Edici Federation's interstellar trade routes, resulting in many Mayflower-operated merchant ships being plundered or completely destroyed.

The cargo on merchant ships includes high-value technological equipment, magical supplies, and strategic resources, which are used by the illithids for colonial construction and military expansion.

At the same time, the illithids used their mind control abilities to hijack many important financial decision-makers of the Mayflower Foundation, forcing them to secretly transfer part of the Mayflower funds to the control of the illithid forces in the star realm.

These actions seriously affected Mayflower's dimensional capital operations and credibility, and even triggered an internal power struggle.

Although the Mayflower Foundation has a strong shipping and financial network, and its armed merchant ships have certain defensive capabilities, they are unable to cope with the psychic attacks and large-scale fleet suppression of the illithids.

After losing some of its merchant ships, Mayflower has begun hiring interdimensional adventurers and military contractors to fight back against the illithid forces.

[Terra internal chaebol group]

Conflict of Hostile Reasons Triangle Slavery Mode:

The chaebol group within Terra has long used the "triangular slave economy" (slave trade, mineral extraction, resource distribution) as an important means of capital accumulation.

The illithids launched attacks on the slave ships and mining areas of these groups, plundering slaves and resources, causing the chaebol groups to suffer heavy economic losses.

In addition, the "financial beast" used by the chaebol group is an entity similar to a magical creature combined with an economic network, which is used to manage cross-dimensional financial affairs.

The illithids launched psychic attacks against the spiritual cores of these beasts, causing many beasts to lose control or become paralyzed, causing cross-dimensional financial turmoil.

The chaebol group's private armies are at a disadvantage compared to the illithid's psychic technology, but the group has a lot of economic and resource advantages.

Although the degree of unity within the group is low, there is a certain degree of coordination of actions in the face of common interests.

Now chaebol groups can provide economic resources and production capabilities for the war effort.

Conditions of cooperation: Heaven is needed to help restore the stability of the beast control system and provide the chaebol group with a defense plan for illithid biological weapons.

【Conclusion and Suggestions】

Prioritize contact with the Githzerai, the Philosopher Faction (Githzerai), to build a cooperation framework with psychic defense and interstellar tactics as the core.

Naga can be used as a high-end tactical support force, using their magic and intelligence abilities to put pressure on the upper echelons of the illithids.

When the war situation permits, moderately guide low-sequence hostile forces such as abyssal claw beasts and goblins to weaken the frontline strength of the illithids.

It is recommended to establish a logistical and economic support framework with the foundation and assist it in restoring its route and capital operation capabilities through technology exchange.

The Mayflower Foundation has extremely high cooperation value in trade routes and interstellar resource management.

Although the chaebol group has the overtones of slavery and oppression, its economic and production capabilities cannot be ignored, and it is suitable to serve as a secondary support force in war.

It is recommended to sign a cooperation agreement with the group to provide it with a stability improvement plan for financial beasts, and at the same time obtain resources and economic support.

Overall recommendations:

Although the two major forces are not traditional military allies, they are of extremely high value in terms of logistics and economy.

Strategically, attention must be paid to balancing the conditions for cooperation to avoid using war to expand their influence, which may instead pose a potential threat to the Kingdom of Heaven.

————

Xia Xiu's eyes fell on the analysis report on the screen. He tapped his fingers on the table and began to weigh the pros and cons in his mind.

He knew very well that to gain a foothold on such a complex battlefield, finding reliable allies was the first step.

Among the many forces, the first one he took into consideration was undoubtedly one of the three giants of the New Alliance - the Mayflower Foundation.

As an important part of the New Alliance, the Mayflower Foundation has extensive influence and a strong resource network.

Its core business spans the star realm and multiple dimensions, from finance and shipping to the deployment of high-end resources, covering almost every key link required for war.

The Mayflower Foundation controls important routes across the stars, which are key channels for resource transportation.

The invasion of the illithid empire not only brought huge losses to the foundation, but also directly threatened the overall interests of the New Alliance.

What Xia Xiu values ​​​​is the foundation's huge resource reserve capacity - whether it is energy crystals, rare metals, or advanced magic equipment, these can provide huge assistance to the initial construction of the three academies.

Especially in the construction process of the three major research and development [STC template ships], raw materials and logistics support will play a vital role.

After that, there is Terra's chaebol group.

They control many large industrial areas within the Edici Federation. These industrial areas are not only responsible for regular material production, but also serve as experimental sites for abnormal technologies.

The three major [STC template ship] research and development plans in Xia Xiu's hands require a large amount of industrial productivity to be realized.

From [engineering ship] to [research ship] to [settlement ship], the core parts and shell of each template require large-scale precision manufacturing.

The chaebol group has sufficient production capacity to provide important technical support for his plan.

The deal Xia Xiu plans to make with them is very simple.

——Exchanging the territorial resources of the plane for technology.

Similar to the market exchange for technology, the Mayflower Foundation and the chaebols brought technology to build advanced facilities for him and shared the technology, while he divided the occupied territory among them.

This matter is a win-win situation for both parties.
