"Although there is currently no evidence to suggest that hostile life forms exist on a large scale in the Sea of Quanta, this is a factor that must be considered."
"The biggest pressure... is on us, isn't it?"
Firefly also began to think seriously.
Of those present, only Liu Ying and Fei Xiao might have participated in battles involving hundreds of millions or even billions.
—Of course, some people may have manipulated disputes of this level.
"On large-scale battlefields, the most deadly thing is to hide an elite force among the ragtag troops."
Feixiao gave Liuying a praising look.
—Although this is not what Firefly wanted to say at all.
Feixiao had fought in battles where two armies clashed, and he knew very well what would happen if the enemy used underhanded tactics to secretly send in super elite troops.
If the front line cannot be breached quickly, the flank will crumble instantly, leading to the collapse of the central army, the vanguard, and another flank.
Feixiao's fame stemmed not only from Yueyu's appreciation but also from the fact that she was often the first to break through the enemy lines.
However, this strategy also has a drawback—normally, both sides know each other well, and the commander-in-chief can react if a tough nut on either side disappears.
But if both sides lack sufficient information, then it becomes a game of rock-paper-scissors.
However... this is completely different from the large-scale war that Firefly experienced.
The way Fireflies, or rather Grammers, fight the Zerg swarm is very simple.
Minced meat.
What strategies, tactics, and formations? Get lost! The only problem with losing is that we don't have enough people! We can't out-trade each other!
So what Firefly really wants to say is to be wary of the "meat grinder" tactic.
What if we get into a stalemate?
After much deliberation, Liu Ying finally spoke frankly about what she had originally intended to say.
"No, as long as we can win, there will be no stalemate."
Feixiao immediately rejected this possibility.
"What you need to do is try your best to maintain the front line."
Feixiao has actually played meat grinder games before, or rather, the Immortal Ship has no shortage of experience in meat grinder games.
Moreover, the meat grinders of the Immortal Ship are all very sinister. Even though the Immortal Ship is not weak, the abundant evil creatures it gathers are often even stronger. Every time there is a truly large-scale battle, some famous and powerful people have to be added to the mix.
Over the years, the only truly meaningful victory was a fleeting moment. As for the other races... well, although they were dazzling as victories, they were actually insignificant to the Abundance faction.
Therefore, Feixiao was well aware of the dangers of minced meat.
However... there is no need to presuppose the occurrence of a "meat grinder" situation.
If even she, Huang Quan, and Huan Long cannot achieve a quick victory, then this battle can be ended immediately to plan for the future.
Moreover, Liu Bai has the ability to run away at any time, so there is indeed no possibility of him being ruthlessly exploited.
Firefly nodded, seemingly understanding but not quite.
"To summarize..."
Mei spoke softly.
"If things go smoothly, our three key assets can overwhelm the opponent, and the others can act as cheerleaders. If things don't go smoothly, then others will need to step in to buy time."
"Um... I'd also like to ask, can the battleground be arranged?"
Rita has experience with the World Bubble Adventure.
Fighting in the world's ocean is fine, but if it's actually in the "sea"...
"The Illusionary Ones will help set up the battlefield."
This is why Huanlong was not included in the main force of the expedition.
Huanlong is a versatile ox and horse, on the one hand, he and Huangquan Feixiao try to kill quickly, and on the other hand, he helps to build the battle line when a quick kill is not possible.
"...Isn't this an overabundance of combat power?"
Fireworks scratched his head.
This lineup... even the Masked Fool would hesitate before thinking about having fun.
And then you come to punish a species that's running rampant on this planet, and you're being so careful?
After seeing the setup here, Hanabi was actually ready to slack off.
Three Commanders leading the team, haha, how many years has it been since someone in the universe was ganged up on by three Commanders at once?
Below the Star God level, anyone who touches this bad luck is doomed; none of the three messengers are sham.
"If you underestimate the word 'high difficulty,' you'll really suffer a terrible fate."
To Huahuo, Liu Bai's words sounded a bit nonsensical.
"Although I can hardly say I like you, at least I don't want you to die. From any perspective, I don't think it would be a good thing for you to die."
"……nausea."
"……Hey."
"Suddenly saying things like 'I don't want you to die' to a girl, do you take Hanabi-sama for some little girl who'll fall in love with you after a few sweet words?"
Hanabi still looked completely uninterested.
...Although Liu Bai's face was suddenly attacked like that, it was indeed quite damaging.
Of course, although she didn't seem to care on the surface, Huahuo secretly remembered Liu Bai's advice—she was angry with Liu Bai, but she could still tell that Liu Bai's words were sincere.
That's why I feel that such occasional bursts of lethality are a bit unfair.
"It's best to ignore this kind of person."
Gui Naifen spoke with a protective look on her face.
"Anyway, if anything happens to her, I will absolutely not pay any attention to her."
"Huh? Is Sister Gui Naifen going to the battlefield?"
Hanabi's innocent expression was utterly heartbreaking.
However, she really couldn't care less about what Gui Naifen said—this person's soft-heartedness was second to none among Liu Bai's.
"you--!"
"Alright, alright, Hanabi, I still recommend that you approach this battle with the same attitude you would have used for the War of the Commanders... It's hard for me to explain in detail, but knowing about this will definitely help you."
The Star Core Catastrophe began after Liu Bai entered the Sea of Quanta.
[Special Event: The Star Core Catastrophe Has Begun]
[The Star Core Catastrophe Event Tree and Reward Event Tree are now available]
The event tree will progress naturally over time; collecting star cores will activate reward events.
[Note: This event is extremely difficult. It is recommended to attempt it only after having a complete playthrough build.]
Only those with the ability to complete the game are qualified to "attempt the challenge," which is why this event had the risk of "bad save files" in the early stages.
So... even if this isn't a battle of command envoys, it's probably not much different in difficulty.
Not to mention that the common saying "you can try" usually means that it's unlikely.
If nothing unexpected happens, the outside world may have already been impacted by the incident—but Liu Bai had already issued warnings worldwide.
The first wave shouldn't have too much of an impact—after all, the main battlefield shouldn't be there.
The landing point of the star core is not in reality, so there's no need to worry about triggering a sudden disaster. What happens next is entirely up to them.
"Hmm~ The battle of the Commanders, is it really okay to let a delicate girl like her participate in such a great battle?"

Chapter 442 New Galaxy Lotto.
"Sister, I can't go home tonight because of work."
"Ah."
Xueyi nodded expressionlessly.
As an accomplice to Liu Bai's evil deeds, Xueyi remained remarkably calm.
But the crow was no longer calm.
"Sister, including today, I haven't been back to my room to sleep for two days."
"Ah."
"..."
For the first time, the crow learned what "suffocating emotional abuse" meant.
"Tonight, I will be spending the night in Lord Liu Bai's room."
"Really? Learn more from adults."
Xueyi seemed to realize that she should say something—so she spoke very perfunctorily.
"Little sister... I understand."
For the first time, the crow felt that speaking was such an agonizing thing.
The crow silently turned and left, then... went into Alicia's room.
That being said, it's clear that things won't be peaceful in Liu Bai's room tonight.
The crow would never stumble upon such bad luck.
So the crow decided to stay in Alicia's room for another night.
As for Alicia being a chatterbox?
...It's as if she isn't one of them.
She simply had nothing to say to Alicia.
Of course, right now, at least Raven can discuss XP-related issues with Alicia.

"Silver Wolf, which outfit do you think suits you best?"
Kafka held up two revealing lingerie pieces and asked Silver Wolf for his opinion.
Silver Wolf rolled his eyes at Kafka.
"They're all pretty bitches."
"Okay, then you can wear it."
Kafka smiled at the silver wolf.
To Kafka's surprise, Silver Wolf did not immediately refute her this time.
"Life is a grand game... and erotica... is it a part of it too?"
"Is this yet another new explanation?"
Kafka raised an eyebrow with interest.
Kafka, being a "bad girl," always brings up Silver Wolf when discussing this topic, mostly for fun—although there's an element of mentorship involved, it's not very common at the moment.
While fireflies are fun to play with, they are too delicate and fragile, making them "pitiful" to Kafka. In this respect, Silver Wolf is definitely a "fun and durable" toy.
Moreover, as partners, they often tease each other.
"...If that's the case, it's also strange that a normal game would suddenly switch to an eroge (adult game) storyline."
Silver Wolf muttered.
Silver Wolf had always had a good impression of Liu Bai, but their relationship was always more than friends but less than lovers.
To be more specific, you could say "boss and close gaming buddy".
