Hold the line, open up the center, pincer attack from front and back!
It must be said, the commanders of the Divine Civilization’s forces executed this move beautifully.
In terms of grasping the psychology of the battlefield and strategic gambles, it could almost be called a stroke of genius.
However, Link believed that since the Group Army Headquarters intended to use the infiltrated fifth level Sages Civilization Legion of the Divine Civilization to cause trouble, there would definitely be a contingency plan in place.
Indeed, after a massive sudden teleportation of the Divine Civilization Seven Legion, equivalent to the Level Seven Great Sage Legion of the Wizard World, the three level five Sage Armies of the infiltrated Divine Civilization fifth level Legion failed to annihilate them after a token effort and immediately retreated far away.
The Level Seven Great Sage Legion of Rodrigo Diomand, the Commander of the Ravensmouth College Army Group, finally made its appearance, surrounding the teleported Divine Civilization Seven Legion with three Level Six Sage Legions.
Things move swiftly in warfare, as the situation on the battlefield changes in the blink of an eye.
Meanwhile, the Ravensmouth College Army Group launched a frontal assault.
Whether or not the frontal battlefield could be won, or the extent of the spoils of victory after a win, were not the main focus.
The key was that Rodrigo Diomand had made up his mind to completely annihilate this Divine Civilization Seven Legion.
After so many years of conflict, the Wizard Civilization World and the Divine Civilization World had already formed an unspoken understanding and a principle of equivalence.
The enemy faced by the Ravensmouth College Army Group was of a similar scale.
Even if there were differences, they were not significant.
Since the commander of the Divine Civilization World abandoned his command to attempt a dangerous maneuver by delving deep into enemy territory himself, Rodrigo Diomand didn’t mind sending the opponent away first before winning the battle.
The great battle was about to erupt and immediately reach a climax.
The Third Reserve Team, which was part of the Grande Sage Army, also received two “firefighting” missions.
Fortunately, both were to assist several armies in need of restocking supplies, not to directly engage in frontline combat.
While there were small-scale, low-intensity battles, they did not result in any significant losses.
The Grande Sage Army suffered only minor damage to one of its main battleships, with no casualties.
But considering the intensity of the war, Link believed that sooner or later the Grande Sage Army would undertake combat missions on the front line.
After all, Commander Rodrigo Diomand was personally engaged in the fighting.
Could Link Grande be more special than Rodrigo Diomand?
Impossible.
In response, Link had no other option but to tightly focus on the morale building of the Grande Sage Army, while keeping a close watch on Rodrigo Diomand’s battle situation in the heartland.
Outnumbering their enemy, and with Rodrigo Diomand, a Level Seven Great Sage, pitted against the Lord God’s Son, Ravensmouth College truly had the upper hand.
The Divine Civilization Seven Legion had already abandoned its set tactical objectives, shifting from a central breakout and front-and-rear pincer to retreating while fighting and breaking out with all their might.
The more this happened, the less Rodrigo Diomand could afford to be careless.
Even though the divine adversary revealed several flaws while trying to cover his troops, Rodrigo Diomand remained steady and methodical in his approach.
Perhaps these weren’t deliberate flaws the divine adversary was trying to exploit for a risky, quick victory.
But if a stable and steady victory could be achieved, even if it meant eventually letting the divine adversary go, why not embrace it?
Ultimately, the purpose of Rodrigo Diomand’s planning of this battle was not to inflict heavy casualties on the Divine Civilization World.
It was to prove to the Supreme Council that Ravensmouth College had the capability to take on wartime and theater command during the conflict with the Divine Civilization World.
In the continuous confrontation, the divine adversary gradually grasped part of Rodrigo Diomand’s intentions.
After several failed breakouts and continuous retreats on the frontal battlefield, the divine adversary made a decision.
Thus, the situation on the battlefield changed yet again due to what Link perceived as an incomprehensible “maneuver.”
On the frontal battlefield, the Divine Civilization’s forces repeatedly “cut off their tails to survive,” painfully sacrificing parts of their forces, leaving enough “spoils” and “spoils of war” to satisfy Ravensmouth College Army Group before withdrawing the bulk of their troops to a safe star domain.
After biting off a large piece of the Divine Civilization Seven Legion, Rodrigo Diomand’s Level Seven Great Sage Legion, along with the three Level Six Sage Legions, also chose to let the other side “breakthrough” successfully.
In the meantime, Link, too preoccupied to ponder the reasons behind these developments, led the Grande Sage Army with the Third Reserve Team on several interception missions.
The Divine Civilization forces that were abandoned were not in the mindset that a desperate soldier is bound to win, yet they also refused to be slaughtered without resistance.
The Grande Sage Army fought three tough battles, only gaining the upper hand in two.
Hard battles naturally led to losses.
The defense system of the Grade Four Star Fortress was paralyzed, several main interstellar battleships were lost, but this was of secondary importance.
As long as the “spoils” and “spoils of war” captured were sufficient, they could easily be replenished.

What distressed Link the most was the loss of personnel.
Let’s not mention the Servant Battalion, which had been halved; without reinforcements and extended training, it would completely lose its combat power.
The loss of thirteen wizards from the three main forces and the Personal Guard Army was the greatest and most grievous loss.
Among these thirteen wizards, there were three Second Level Wizards and ten First Level Wizards.
They all perished due to the ruthless tactics of the Divine Civilization’s sacrificial troops.
