"We still have our world bridges on standby to deploy warships from afar, but they will not be as comprehensive as if we had a proper defensive perimeter and battle lines set up in advance," Deputy Commander Wiles offered. "The world bridges of human civilization can only transfer a small part of the total astro-naval power of human civilization. It will likely not be enough to prevent the complete conquest of Arima III System."
"If she does fail, it will be after the ships have already committed to the invasion through the Arima III System," Edward remarked knowingly. "Beyond that point, there is no threat of them shifting targets because they have committed. Which means we can freely deploy human civilization's naval and pathwalker power to the star system without fearing that they might go elsewhere. As long as we are prepared enough, her potential failure will only lead to the destruction of the Arima III star system. Though that is bound to happen no matter what."
