Where the explosive fragments of the ammunition scattered with fireworks, the shield systems of multiple ships were looming and flickering.
Needless to say, the damage caused by the Daxia fleet's missiles exceeded everyone's expectations, and some sharp-eyed people immediately knew that these were missiles made of explosive particles.
If faced with a battleship-like weapon attack, the cycle of the shield system can basically keep up, but a sudden wave of violent attacks is a bit difficult to withstand.
"The shield system of ship No. 4 is temporarily offline and will take 12 minutes to restore!"
"No, the electromagnetic waves generated by the explosion interfered with the operation of the reactor. Battleship No. 7 has lost its combat effectiveness. Please leave!"
"Battleship No. 23 is not affected yet, please give instructions..."
A series of announcements sounded next to Vidette, and the commander of Hamelun's fleet was doing his best to rearrange the fleet.
"The power of the opponent's missiles exceeds our expected range, and it cannot be just this one strike. Each detachment quickly disperses!"
"Boss! What to do now!?"
The fleet commander's shout brought Veidt back to his senses.
He looked at the battle situation in the star map in a daze, and clenched his fists involuntarily.
"Tsk!"
He admitted that he had misjudged the strength of Daxia's warships, or that he had not expected that the other party would actually develop a new type of missile.
The overall strength of Hamelon's battleships is not bad either.
During this period of development, their fleet was like Daxia, destroying other people's warships.
It's just that today's position has been reversed, and Hamelun has become the side being crushed.
"Weapons, armor, and shields were all anticipated and prepared. I never expected that Daxia would put explosive particles into use so quickly..."
"For such a powerful missile, they can still carry it for one launch at most."
"Retreat the battleships back to the back row of galaxies and wait for the next batch of fleets to join the battle."
"Although Liu Cong and Korimaru plan to run away, others will not let them go. Let them delay the other empires. We can just concentrate on defending Daxia's attack."
After taking a few breaths, Veidt made this decision, "We haven't lost yet, there is still a chance to give it a try."
The Daxia fleet is indeed powerful, but it is always a long-distance battle. As long as it can be delayed, the pirate group will attack from the other side.
Even if Daxia wants to continue fighting, San Riyue and other empires will not be able to last long.
In this case, the war with Daxia will be withheld, and we will just negotiate an armistice agreement at that time.
When you see that the situation is not good, just give in without any shame.
It can be seen that although Veidt is undisciplined, he is not without merit. He quickly grasps the key points and changes his strategic thinking.
What happened next was indeed pretty much what he imagined.
The fleet that was originally with Hamelon to defend the enemy began to withdraw, leaving a part of the fleet to hinder the pursuit.
This is a necessary sacrifice. If everything goes well, at least half of the fleet will be saved.
So the battle was divided into two parts.
Except for Daxia and Sanriyue's fleet that besieged Hamelun, the other empires would certainly not let those two empires go, and they all gathered fleets to pursue the fleeing fleet.
At the Hamelon star base, relying on the defense platform, the warships of Daxia and Sanriyue will not be able to capture the target for a while.
After Daxia's gt210 missile made a stunning debut, Hamerun's fleet immediately dispersed.
With the focus damage reduced, although there was some damage, at least it was able to withstand the second wave of missile attacks.
After the two waves of missile attacks were completed, the Daxia fleet's missiles were finally launched.
It was originally a disposable ammunition, and each round was made with money. Chu Hua was satisfied with achieving such results.
"If it wasn't for loading defensive missiles, there should be another round."
Chu Hua gave a positive evaluation of this bombing operation.
Mikazuki's fleet also launched a missile offensive at this moment, but it was not as strong as Daxia's. However, under the bombardment of this wave of missiles, conventional warfare was much easier.
A cruiser's laser directly broke through the defense of a Hamelon destroyer and exploded immediately.
As for the Hamelon cruiser, after suffering repeated blows, it struggled to defend itself against the attacks of Daxia's Turtle Dove cruiser.
It wasn't until five or six hours later that another group of empires started fighting at the edge of the galaxy.
Hamelon began to prepare to retreat, gradually abandoning the defensive strategy of the star base, dispersed and left the battle area, and headed for the gravity well of the galaxy.
Disarm rear systems.
"Run away now?"
Chu Hua watched the Hamelon fleet leave the defensive range of the star base and wondered, "You have no spine..."
But we can't just let them leave peacefully. We immediately divide our forces to pursue them, leaving a group of warships behind to destroy the opponent's star base.
The same is true for the Mikazuki Fleet, but their fleet is not large in number.
After much thought, several warships were left here to help the Daxia fleet block the counterattack of the warships left behind by Hamelon.
Similar to tanks and mobs, let the output kill the boss as quickly as possible.
One day later, the star base here was reduced to a wreckage, and a large number of prisoners were salvaged and awaiting extermination.
Hamelon's first sovereign system has been eradicated.
This is equivalent to achieving 10% of the progress of this war.
Why 10%?
Because the other party does not choose to fight to the death, it means that they are preparing for a positional war.
This is also a more troublesome form of combat in the war, and it is also disgusting for the expedition fleet.
It is impossible for a fleet to carry out combat missions indefinitely. Even if warships can maintain operations for a long time, people cannot, and basic supplements are still needed.
Hamelun's retreat bought a lot of time, relying on the star base to hold back the advancing fleets of Daxia and Sanriyue.
However, as the number of Hamelon's fleet gradually decreased, the time for the star base to be breached became faster and faster.
Until the eighth day.
Several fleets of pirate forces began to appear at the edge of the Cloud Ring Nebula and began to attack the territories of various empires.
Now some empires began to struggle. Should they continue to attack or return to defense?
Although there are defensive forces left in our territory, who knows if other forces will suddenly emerge to cause trouble.
In the battle situation in the star map, Daxia and Sanriyue have been inserted into two nodes of the Hameron Empire. The red fleet logo is flashing, and they are about to expand their advantage.
Other empires have crossed the territory of Hameron and besieged the other two empires.
Pirate fleets appeared sporadically at the borders of various empires and occasionally attacked.
However, after the fighting continued for a day, some people planned to return to defend the territory.
"I think it's okay. Under such circumstances, a truce is a good choice."
"After this fight, Hamelun's side should not dare to make any mistakes. It's time to call a truce. There's no point in dragging it out."
"Are you going to stop now that you've reached this point?"
Mary looked at the two temporary allies who were planning to retreat and said strangely: "In ten days, Hamelun may not be able to hold on anymore, why not try harder?"
The two still didn't want to fight anymore and expressed their intention to return to defense.
When Chu Hua saw this, he understood that some kind of benefit had been achieved.
"Okay, Mary, let them go back."
"But....."
Chu Hua shook his head and signaled to Mary that she didn't need to say any more.
Mary frowned and wanted to say something else, but finally decided to forget it.
The situation on the battlefield changed rapidly, three days later.
With the withdrawal of the two empires, the pressure on the other side dropped sharply, and it was difficult for the remaining empires to establish an advantage and could only slowly retreat.
The fleets of Daxia and Sanriyue are still sweeping the enemy star base, and just as Mary said, Harmony is about to collapse.
Under the attack of Daxia's large and powerful fleet, Hamerun's defense strength became smaller and smaller.
At this moment, Hamelun's communication was sent to Chu Hua again.
Chu Hua originally planned to refuse, but he was a little curious about what price he could offer to get those two families to withdraw, so he agreed to the meeting and communication.
Unexpectedly, what was waiting for him was not Veidt's sorrowful confession, but a proud smile...
