Upon hearing this, Leto was startled and continued:

"This, shouldn't be possible?"

Lukat lazily lay on the bench, with his hands behind his head, and said lightly:

"Of course not."

"Why do you think Daqian went to so much trouble to use Nangang as bait? Was it just to capture us alive?"

Laito was confused and asked, "What is that?"

Lukat crossed his legs and continued:

"If they just wanted to win a battle to deter others, they could have launched a general attack at sea with their fleet from the beginning. Then, as long as they gained the upper hand, the Lieyang Fleet and others would naturally withdraw, and Daqian's deterrence would have been achieved."

"But they didn't do that. Instead, they deployed more risky tactics, which shows that they wanted to achieve more results."

"There are a lot of artillery in the naval port, and the firepower is extremely fierce. There is also a huge fleet formed by Daqian at sea, attacking from the front and back. This kind of fighting style is rare at sea, and it is more like an annihilation tactic on land."

"So, deterrence is not about driving away, but about achieving a decisive victory."

"So, what kind of result is a complete victory?" At this point, Lucat put away the frivolous look on his face. He frowned and looked at Leto with sharp eyes.

Laito's back was covered with a layer of cold sweat, and he said in a low voice:

"It seems that..."

Before he could finish his words, Lukat nodded and said, "Yes, they want to kill everyone."

"This has a far greater deterrent effect than a victory in a war."

"Of course, this is just my guess, but the possibility is very high, so to say 'definitely', well... that's about right."

Laito wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, his brows furrowed tighter and tighter, he bit the corner of his lip, and then said in a cold voice:

"If that's true, then Daqian... humph, there will be no good days after this battle."

"Sari will definitely vent its anger on Daqian next. As for Hungary, Archduke Saint Easter is a particularly vengeful person. If the Sea Lion Fleet is really destroyed here, then given his personality, he will definitely bring bloody revenge."

"Not to mention the Delta Federation. They brought so many warships this time. It's clear that Feng Palen wants to make Daqian their colony. They may not even back down in front of the Sari Kingdom. After this defeat, I'm afraid Feng Palen will immediately deploy troops and focus on Daqian."

At this point, Leto sneered, crossed his arms and said sinisterly:

"Well, okay, kill them all. It would be best if they were all killed."

"The more we kill, the more severe the retaliation will be. When other countries send more troops, Daqian will inevitably be completely plunged into war. And by then, we may be able to benefit from it..." Leto grinned, revealing a mouthful of white teeth.

"Stop, stop, stop."

"Stop your stupid fantasies."

Lucat sat up from the bench with a jerk, frowning and interrupting Laito's words.

Laito was startled, then his smile dropped, "What's wrong, Marshal? I think what I said should be fine."

"There's a problem. A big problem." Lucat rolled his eyes.

Laito blushed but still argued quietly, "Isn't it?"

Then he muttered, "I wonder what the Marshal has to say."

"Of course not. You don't understand what Daqian wants to do." Lukat's voice suddenly became louder. "It may be too absolute to say that you don't understand. This time, we have learned a little about what the real Daqian is like."

"Although we didn't go ashore." Lukat laughed at himself, then said with a straight face: "But at least we have learned that their navy is very powerful and has a lot of artillery. This is a confirmed fact, and you have to admit it."

Laito nodded, agreeing with the statement.

“So, in the face of such combat power, you have to try to figure out what they want to do next. This is the most important thing!” Lucat punched his palm with an extremely solemn expression.

"It's not what you think, what other countries will do next. Is it important what they do? You can know it without thinking. Instead, what is crucial is what Daqian will do after winning this great battle!"

Leto was confused by Lucat's words. He scratched his head, not knowing how to start.

Seeing him like this, Lucat rolled his eyes again and sighed, "Leto, your idea just now was to assume a series of judgments by treating Daqian as the defender."

"So I told you to stop fantasizing. You don't understand Daqian at all."

"How do you know the law?" Leto asked, moistening his dry throat.

Lucat fell back into the chair, closed his eyes and stroked his chin, and said calmly: "I dare not say I understand."

"But assuming... they really killed everyone, that would expand the results of the war and increase the deterrent effect a lot."

"Well, this has both advantages and disadvantages. The advantage is that Daqian has demonstrated their strength, which can intimidate some weaker countries and make them dare not come again. The disadvantage is also obvious, which is that it will make these big countries headed by the Isaac Sun even more angry, and they will retaliate fiercely."

"Based on this consideration, I guess..."

Lukat opened his eyes and said in a deep voice: "Daqian wants to take the initiative to attack."

"They...are not afraid of war or retaliation, but want to compete with countries like the Sari Kingdom."

"This battle is not the beginning. It is just a battle for them to establish their prestige. It is intended to warn the countries in the world that if they want to attack Daqian, they must first consider whether their country has the ability to do so."

At this point, there was a "click" sound.

Lucat snapped his fingers.

"To put it simply, it's to warn those idiots not to overestimate their abilities or they might get stepped on and killed." He looked at Leto.

Hearing this analogy, Laito's expression became a little grim, and he said, "This... shouldn't be the case."

"No matter how powerful it is, it won't be to this extent."

Lucat sighed: "Who knows?"

"Maybe they are too arrogant. The commander is too arrogant, just like the Grand Duke of Saint Easter. No, he is even more arrogant than him."

"But judging from this battle, I don't think that's the case. I still trust my instincts."

"He's always accurate." Lucat pointed to his head.

Leto nodded and said, "Yes, I have seen the Marshal's self-awareness this time. Without you, we would not have been able to return unscathed."

Lucat didn't care either, he sighed again.

"But if it's really like what I said, then it will be troublesome."

"Our people have gone to Daqian before, which must have offended them. If they go to our continent by sea next... Alas." Thinking of this, the joy of surviving the disaster disappeared, and Lucat looked depressed.

"Well, if that's the case, how do you think we should deal with it, Marshal?" Leto looked at Lucat, who was fifteen years younger than him but performed particularly well in this battle.
