Chapter 845 -20 Infiltration and Counter-infiltration
Link greatly admired the sixteen-character guideline.
“When the enemy advances, we retreat; when the enemy halts, we harass; when the enemy tires, we attack; when the enemy retreats, we pursue.”
In guerrilla and mobile warfare, its application was very effective.
However, when pursuing forces from the Divine Civilization World employed tactics similar to the sixteen-character guideline, sticking to the Grande Sage Army like glue, Link was quite annoyed.
“Really like a piece of sticky candy!”
Watching the Divine Civilization World’s pursuers maintain a “suitable” distance—easily defending against the attacks from the Grande Sage Army while not letting them comfortably transition—Link let out a heavy sigh.
If dead set on transitioning, the Grande Sage Army could actually break contact quickly and retreat to a safe star sector.
Unfortunately, some things can be done, but not too excessively.
Like transitioning.
Reputation, usually inconsequential, and at most affecting one’s image,
becomes very deadly at crucial moments.
Link did not want the Grande Sage Army to be labeled as some kind of “runaway army.”
If that happened, even if Dean Frist supported them with all his might, and even if Ravensmouth College still had a need for Link, the development ceiling for both the Grande Sage Army and the Grande Family would be significantly lowered.
This was not the future Link wanted to see.
“Fine! Fine! Fine! Playing like that, are you?”
The “fishing-style” tug-of-war chase by the Divine Civilization World’s pursuers, going in and out of the dividing line between the two civilizations, infuriated Link.
He decided to put these disgustingly persistent pursuers to the test.
Link’s will was quickly put into action.
The Grande Sage Army’s interstellar fleet executed a quick formation change with extreme speed and proficiency.
A Grade Five Star Fortress in the front, with two Grade Four Star Fortresses on the left and right, formed the arrowhead.
The fleets of the three main corps came together to form the shaft.
The logistical support lagged behind, forming the tail of the arrow.
The dart formation, unstoppable, broke through with brute force.
Without giving the Divine Civilization World’s pursuers much time to react, Link gave the command, and the Grande Sage Army launched a counter-charge.
The commander of the Divine Civilization World’s pursuers was definitely a tactical command expert.
He sensed something wrong at the start of the Grande Sage Army’s change and immediately directed his forces to switch from offense to defense, from pursuit to transition.
The tides of attack and defense had changed.
This time, it was the Grande Sage Army’s turn to apply the sixteen-character guideline, harassing the pursuers from the Divine Civilization World.
However, considering there were reinforcements behind the Divine Civilization World’s pursuers, Link did not dare to chase too deeply. Crossing the dividing line by just a bit, he planned to withdraw.
Unfortunately, the Divine Civilization World’s pursuers did not allow it, turning back again to harass the Grande Sage Army.
For this, Link had only one word to describe his feelings: Annoying!
Extremely annoying!
After being harassed for a while, they turned around and harassed back.
In this manner, the two armies engaged in a chase-me-if-you-can game along the dividing line of the two civilizations’ battlefronts.
One moment they’re chasing us, the next we’re chasing them.
Both sides dared not let the other catch up; otherwise, they’d really be in trouble.
That would be utterly disastrous.
When reinforcements for both sides arrived nearly simultaneously at the peripheral star sectors around this dividing line, the Grande Sage Army and the Divine Civilization World’s pursuers had already chased each other a total of seven times.
Apart from wasting some consumables from both sides, neither side achieved any significant results.
As for damages, with the deeply ingrained “survival” tactics of the commanders from both sides, there were virtually none.
What Link had not expected was that their reinforcements turned out to be the Grade Seven Great Sage Army, personally led by the army group’s commander, Rodrigo Diomand.
“Reporting to the commander, my forces have successfully completed the support mission and are currently entangled with the enemy forces in pursuit. Awaiting orders,”
Link, arriving promptly on the commander’s flagship and facing Rodrigo Diomand’s indifferent gaze, made a brief report without batting an eyelid.
All the wizards present could discern two main points from Link’s statement.
One was the successful completion of the support mission; the other was that they were still engaging the enemy.
What did this indicate?
It indicated that the Grande Sage Army had merit without fault and deserved commendation.
However, Rodrigo merely waved his hand, indicating for Link to stand aside.
Accompanying Rodrigo Diomand in support, besides his Grade Seven Great Sage Army, were the commanders of three Level Six Sage Legions, nine Level Five Sage Army commanders, and the remaining twenty-six Fourth Level Sage Army commanders.
The upper echelons of the Ravensmouth College Army Group were all gathered here.
If the Divine Civilization World could destroy this flagship—a Grade Eight Star Fortress—it could decimate the Ravensmouth College Army Group in one fell swoop.

Not to mention severely wounding the Wizard Civilization World, it would at least cause profound and lasting damage to it.
Without any dissatisfaction, Link “obediently” joined the group of Fourth Level Sages.
Rodrigo Diomand stood up from his seat and walked to the front of the large screen in the command hall.
The various army commanders followed closely behind.
“Here,”
Rodrigo pointed, and two images, one large and one small, appeared on the large screen.
The large image showed the reinforcements from the Divine Civilization World, and the small image displayed the pursuing forces from the Divine Civilization World.
All the commanders watched the two images intently, awaiting the commander’s address.
After scanning his subordinates, Rodrigo began slowly, “This is the hard bone our army group must gnaw through this time. Ravensmouth College has taken Mitchell’s place, but the Supreme Council has not yet approved Ravensmouth College to obtain the authority over other Wizard Organization forces in the Ravensmouth District for wartime and war zone command. Why?”
