"You actually know... Then why did you agree to their request?"
Hearing what he said, Li Yi was surprised for a while, then when he came back to his senses, he felt strange again.
Since you all know how dangerous our plan is and who we are about to face, why do you still want to involve ordinary people?
The greater the number of people, the greater the risk, and once a conflict breaks out, these ordinary people have no chance of being spared.
Why bother?
Lin Zhiyang did not answer. Maybe the two of them had a tacit understanding in some aspects, but they did not necessarily agree with each other's views.
He just said it lightly.
"You will know in the future. The top priority now is to go back and talk about it."
"Okay, you have the final say."
Seeing that the other party was unwilling to say more, Li Yi didn't say much either.
Although he was certain that the privileged class of the Hongling Empire should be a group of people with extraordinary power, when he heard this fact with his own ears, he still felt a little incredible.
With the development of science and technology, it can also combine personal force, and finally form an empire that is somewhat "abnormal" in his opinion, but is actually extremely reasonable.
To be honest, this really broadened his horizons.
But there was one thing he was still curious about. He had always wanted to ask when Lin Zhiyang mentioned the martial arts competition before, but he never found the opportunity.
"As far as you know, who is the strongest person in the empire?"
"Are you talking about the Martial God? There has only ever been one person with the title of Martial God. Naturally, there is only the current commander-in-chief of the Imperial Expeditionary Force, His Excellency General Davdin Herman. It is said that he is also the next head of state of the Empire. Hot pick.”
"How strong is he?"
Li Yi ignored the other person's repeated titles of commander-in-chief, general, and finally head of state.
Even if an emperor appears now, he won't be surprised.
After all, the system of the Hongling Empire was already outrageous enough in his opinion.
"No one knows exactly how strong it is, but we can get some clues from some battles."
"It is said that the commander-in-chief has a very special hobby, that is, he likes to go to some extremely dangerous front lines and personally command some small battles that are almost impossible to win."
"Um?"
Li Yi thought to himself, this is really a strange hobby, but what does it have to do with his strength... Wait, it won't be.
Li Yi suddenly looked at Lin Zhiyang. From the look in his eyes, it seemed that his guess was correct.
"Yes, a war is divided into dozens or even hundreds of battles, large and small. It is impossible to win all of them. There will always be some battlefields that are destined to fail to win due to various reasons."
"What General Herman likes to do most is to select some of the battles that are destined to be impossible to win after finishing the overall planning."
"He chose to fight alone?"
This sentence was taken over by Li Yi, and he could see it from Lin Zhiyang's expression.
I guessed right.
The only god of war in this empire, while demonstrating his powerful force in this way, also used this kind of victory after victory on local battlefields to gradually tilt the balance of victory to his own side.
Even if his own commanding skills are mediocre, once he uses this method, as long as he can ensure that the overall situation is undefeated, sooner or later, this style of play will bring down the opponent.
Because the opponent does not have the corresponding high-end combat power to copy his methods, even if he knows his tactics, he will not be able to respond. On the contrary, he may seize the flaw and continue to expand the results.
Although this tactic is a bit conservative or stupid, I have to say that it does work.
A general who is good at command does not necessarily have to be resourceful or even stupid.
But one thing is important.
That is, he must be patient and calm enough, and be able to maximize his own advantages.
As long as you do this, when the two sides are equally powerful, the only thing you have to fight for is logistics and consumption.
The biggest effect of this empire's God of War is not only to speed up the process of mutual consumption, but also to shake the enemy's self-confidence bit by bit.
Anyone who watches the opponent destroy a battle that should have been won by just one person will inevitably have a decline in self-confidence over time, and will have the idea of can we really defeat this enemy? .
Whether it is an ancient or modern battlefield, the morale of an army is incomparably important.
Perhaps with the development of modern science and technology, the impact of this morale has dropped to a very low level.
But in the end it is the most important factor that determines the battlefield.
One army sees the enemy coming and runs away, while the other sees the enemy coming and rushes forward screaming and desperate.
It is self-evident who will win.
"According to what you said, this empire's Martial God can dominate a small battle, but he cannot control an entire war. But even so, it shows that his personal force is amazing."
Li Yi did not ask about the specific number of people in the so-called small battle.
He knew that in a pre-interstellar war like this, the decisive factor was not the number of people, but the advancement and quantity of the starships.
A battle involving tens of thousands of Star Destroyers would naturally be a large-scale battle.
As for the small ones, there are probably more than a dozen, or even only a few of that level, right?
But even so, that's amazing.
Not just anyone can accomplish this feat of defeating a starship with his own flesh and blood.
What's more, this man is already a high-ranking figure.
Maybe he had other meanings in doing so, but in the eyes of the outside world.
This kind of behavior like a military god may be the real reason why General Hermann has such a high reputation in the outside world.
In order to avoid the sacrifice of soldiers, he chose to go alone, which determined the direction of a small battle.
This kind of thing, speaking of it, is naturally the best way to make the soldiers of the empire's expeditionary force dedicated to their lives.
Fortunately, there is only one Martial God, and since we are currently in the middle of a war, this empire's Martial God should not suddenly appear in the imperial capital.
Thinking of this, Li Yi felt a lot more at ease.
This kind of powerful person who sounds like he can punch a Star Destroyer doesn't seem to be someone he can provoke. Fortunately, the opponent is not in the imperial capital where he wants to go, so the situation is not that bad.
"Apart from this figure on the ceiling, where are the others? Didn't you say there is some kind of martial arts competition? For example, what are the strengths of those champions?"
Thinking of this, Li Yi asked.
Lin Zhiyang glanced at him and made a strange request.
"Why don't you give me a fight and see, fight with me and I can measure it."
"You? Are you sure?"
Li Yi looked at Lin Zhiyang with confusion on his face and thought to himself, "You fainted like this, don't you have any idea?"
You still want to fight me now?
Aren't you afraid of being knocked unconscious again?
Of course he didn't say it in person, he just used his tone to express his confusion.
"I know what you are thinking. If you underestimate me because of the previous incident, then I have to say that you think about things too simply."
Just when Li Yi was wondering why the other party said that, he suddenly felt a warning bell ringing in his heart, and he couldn't help but jump a few steps away.
Then a big pit suddenly appeared where he had been standing just now.
It was only then that he realized that what the other party said was true.
"I'm not a warrior, but I have superpowers!"
