Chapter 2757 The Use Of Decoys
The entire command center was in an uproar as Titan Lord and the others cheered on excitedly.
The reason behind their excitement was none other than the fact that the Lab of Gods had fallen for their trick.
The base that the airships had just destroyed was actually a decoy that they had set up according to Levi’s strategy.
Levi knew they wouldn’t stand a chance fighting against such powerful weapons in direct combat, so they would need to work their way around them.
Despite how powerful the Lab of Gods’ weapons were, they didn’t have an infinite supply of ammunition and would eventually run out.
Levi figured the resources required for the ammunition would be scarce as the weapons were very new, so it was only a matter of time before they were depleted.
As such, his strategy focused on how they would get the enemy forces to waste their ammunition and run out of it sooner.
Naturally, the best way to do that was to trick them into firing those weapons at decoys.
As such, Levi’s strategy was to construct decoy bases to serve as bait.
Everything in the decoy base was fake, including the soldiers and weapons which were actually cardboard cutouts that they colored.
From a distance, they looked just like the real thing, so it was impossible to tell without examining them carefully.
Of course, given the advanced technology that the Lab of Gods had in possession, they could easily conduct a scan which would reveal that the base was a fake.
In order to prevent that from happening, Levi’s strategy involved lowering their guard by having Titan Lord launch a vicious attack at them.
That way, the Lab of Gods would be so enraged and frustrated that they would only focus on destroying the base in front of them.
Titan Lord made sure to hold nothing back in their first round of attack as they needed to hit the Lab of Gods hard enough to anger them.
It seemed to be working as the Lab of Gods got so mad that they wasted no time destroying that base in front of them.
In order to show the opponents the consequences of opposing them, the Lab of Gods fired all one hundred thousand of their laser cannons at the base.
The power from this attack was over ten times greater than the one used when Titan Lord charged at them earlier.
The terrifying laser beams engulfed the area in a sea of red, disintegrating everything in its path and evaporating even the seawater it came into contact with.
Given its ability to vaporize everything it was fired at, those weapons were the perfect tools to wipe out entire countries or even civilizations.
In just dozens of seconds, the entire base that they had built was reduced to nothingness.
Regardless of whether everything on the base was real or fake, the aftermath of the laser beam’s attack remained the same.
As such, they had no way of knowing that it was just a decoy, especially since they used over ten times more power than the previous attack.
“Sir, all five airships are down to sixty percent power!”
The captains of the airships reported the status to Mr. X.
“That’s fine. Sixty percent is more than enough for us to level this area! Keep pushing forward!” Mr. X replied confidently.
Having removed the obstacle in front of them, the airships continued to advance side by side in a straight line.
The sight of them approaching snapped everyone out of their brief moment of euphoria.
“What do we do? They’re coming! That decoy wasn’t enough to deplete their power completely!” shouted one of the lieutenants.
