On the cosmic battlefield that briefly calmed down, Leviathan, who was as big as a deep space monster, and Hernandas, the giant snake entangled on the giant obelisk battleship, faced each other across dozens of kilometers of void.
The fleets of both sides guarded their respective flagships, seizing the time to adjust their formations, ready for the final fight.
The battle was about to begin, and Xue Hua opened his mouth nervously, wanting to say something to Stukov.
But when he saw Stukov's serious face, he swallowed back the words he was about to blurt out.
Youdao said that "military orders from abroad will be subject to certain restrictions." Although he had an overview of the development process of the entire battle through the main hive mind, he was still unable to understand the battle situation as deeply as the fleet commander who was on the front line of the battlefield.
And when it comes to commanding the fleet, he is even less capable than the experienced high-level commanders of the insect swarm.
So it’s better not to cause trouble at this time and distract Stukov’s energy.
Just watch it quietly.
He believed that Stukov would not disappoint him.
Thinking of this, Xue Hua temporarily transferred part of his energy to the side of the Protoss Fleet to see how the Yuanxing's rescue plan was being implemented.
To his great relief, the Protoss' plan was executed smoothly.
Thanks to the unremitting efforts of the Corruptors and Protoss ships, the Protoss fleet flagship Farstar finally broke free from the enemy encirclement and was now dragging its scarred body with the escort of a large number of Protoss ships.
In the direction of the asteroid not far away.
Part of the reason why the second half of the rescue plan was able to proceed so smoothly was due to the containment of the main fleet of the swarm.
After his own main fleet suffered some losses in the battle just now, Hernandas had to return the part of the force that had been used to intercept the rescue of the Protoss fleet back to the main fleet.
This greatly reduced the pressure on the Protoss rescue team to execute the second half of the plan, and easily brought the Far Star out of danger.
After the rescue, Stukov transferred the remaining Corruptor formations back to the main fleet so that the First Fleet could reach its strongest state in the upcoming battle.
As for whether the protoss fleet will take this opportunity to escape?
Neither Stukov nor Schaeffer worry about this problem.
This is not only due to belief in Harlans' character, but the main reason is that the Farstar, which has run out of energy and is in a damaged state, cannot run far at all.
Therefore, unless Harens is willing to leave this colonial fleet flagship loaded with various protoss equipment and technology here, and risk being hunted down by the Xel'Naga and the swarm fleets all over the universe at the same time, escaping is not possible.
There is no need to even think about it.
Xue Hua believed that the protoss executive was a smart guy and would not do such a thing that would go back on his word, go through a lot of trouble and offend both parties.
And the development of the matter was indeed as he expected. The Far Star stopped after evacuating to a safe position. At the same time, the Protoss Fleet also began to reorganize again, and the target was already aimed at the flank of the Xel'Naga Fleet.
Although this protoss fleet had suffered heavy losses in previous battles, and had been split due to Harens' choice, its strength had been greatly reduced at this time.
But there are still more than a dozen void glow ships and the first aircraft carrier and storm battleship that still have combat capabilities in this fleet.
This kind of power is definitely not enough to confront the Xel'Naga fleet, but there is no problem at all in helping the first fleet of the swarm to beat the drum.
At this time, Harlans sent a communication to Xue Hua through the communication system within the fleet, conveying to him his intention to assist the insect swarm in combat.
"Lord of the Zerg, our fleet will raid the enemy's flanks when you start a war and pin down some enemy ships to express our sincerity in cooperation.
I hope you can make preparations."
"Well, don't talk to me about tactical matters. I will transfer Stukov's communication to you, and you can discuss the specific implementation issues with him."
Xue Hua nodded, and then connected the communications of the commander of the First Fleet with the communications of the Protoss Fleet, allowing the two commanders on the front line to understand each other's tactical intentions in real time.
Just when Stukov began to discuss specific action plans with Harens.
On the other side of the battlefield, Hernandas, who was confronting Leviathan, obviously felt something was wrong.
The swarm actually rescued the protoss fleet and rescued their flagship just now?
Could it be that these two groups have reached some ulterior PY deal behind the scenes?
But shouldn't they be mortal enemies?
However, in any case, Hernandas, who felt that he was at a disadvantage in terms of intelligence, immediately made up his mind and prepared to strike first and use his advantage to suppress the power of the insect fleet.
Therefore, it immediately issued an order to its own fleet, requiring all fleets to move forward according to the raid formation, with the three-headed eagle warship as the forerunner, and immediately launch an attack on the insect fleet!
While issuing orders to its fleet, it itself was not far behind. The white light curtain on its head flickered and turned into the same dazzling golden red as its pupils!
Then, the giant snake suddenly opened its mouth, and aimed at Leviathan, a crimson beam full of golden lightning sprayed out!
This beam of light was as thick as the body of a heavy cannon governor. When it passed through the air, it brought out huge power and even caused ripples in the surrounding space.
Facing the opponent's preemptive attack, Leviathan calmly turned his body slightly sideways and faced the incoming attack with the thickest piece of armor on the side of his head.
At the same time, countless tentacles as thick as tunnel worms protruded from various parts of Leviathan's body and stabbed back in the direction of the beam, as if preparing to fight for attack.
At this moment, inside the Leviathan, facing the thick red beam that was about to hit the ship, Stukov stood in the command cavity without blinking an eye.
It had actually anticipated Hernandas' attack, because if you put yourself in his shoes, even Stukov himself would definitely try to take the lead when faced with a possible two-sided attack from the enemy.
Advantages of the frontal battlefield.
But giving up the initiative was actually part of Stukov's plan.
He had witnessed the whole process of the Far Star's desperate decapitation plan, including of course the scene where the head of the giant snake Hernandas turned into a black hole and swallowed the photon beam emitted by the photon focusing cannon.
From this, Stukov judged that if they could not find a way to break through the giant snake's black hole defense, then all their attempts to take the lead would be in vain. Not only that, but the opponent might take advantage of the cooldown period after the Leviathan's main cannon was fired.
Instead, it seizes the initiative on the battlefield.
Instead of doing this, it is better to force the opponent's attack, and then use the secondary weapon system to test what the opponent's capabilities are, and then decide on tactics.
As for whether Leviathan will be severely damaged by the opponent's attack?
Stukov chuckled.
This is Leviathan!
How can it be so easy to be hit hard?? (To be continued)
