When the first fleet finally came around from the side of the battlefield, the protoss fleet and the murloc fleet were fighting fiercely in the vast void.
As time passes slowly, the disadvantages of the protoss fleet in terms of numbers and endurance have begun to be slowly exposed. Due to the need to continuously increase the distance from the enemy ships and dodge the cold shots fired by another small fleet, the protoss fleet
The captain of the ship had to frequently order the use of energy-intensive short-distance jumps to dodge and see-saw.
This resulted in the consumption of psychic energy reserves of many Protoss warships being in a very dangerous situation, and Harlans even had to order those warships that consumed too much energy to stop firing their main weapons.
And their enemies have obviously noticed this. The large number of reef battleships are using their own advantages to continuously force the protoss ships to consume more energy to prevent them from approaching.
At the same time, the number of sea bats on the battlefield has reached a point that cannot be ignored. The protoss fighter units are doing their best to fight with these ferocious small biological warfare weapons, but because the number of opponents is too great,
Huge, their defense line is becoming precarious.
The situation of the Protoss fleet is becoming more and more serious, and Harlans on the flagship cannot help but look anxiously towards the void on the flanks.
The first fleet of the swarm was obviously late. He didn't know what unexpected trouble Stukov and the others had encountered, but if the situation on the battlefield continued as it was now, they might soon be
I can't hold it any longer!
"Executive officer, the overall average energy consumption of our Void Glow ship cluster has exceeded 50%, and the energy of the aircraft carrier fleet's drone production line has also approached the dangerous value. If this continues, our fleet's energy reserves may not be able to support it.
The battle is spent!”
The fleet adjutant on the flagship issued an early warning to Harens about the fleet's energy depletion. He predicted that if the battle continued at the current intensity of the battle, the Protoss fleet could maintain its current status for at most ten minutes, and then there would be a large number of ships.
Because the energy reserve dropped below the danger line, it was impossible to start a short jump.
That would be a very dangerous situation for the protoss fleet!
"Executive officer, I suggest that the fleet enter the fourth phase of the plan immediately. Those bugs don't know what they are doing, but we can't continue to waste energy like this!"
"Calm down and wait, I believe they will come soon."
Harlans was still very calm. He did not change the planned battle plan without authorization because of the current dangerous situation. Although he was also worried about the current battle situation of his fleet, he still insisted on letting the fleet continue to implement the third phase of the plan.
And continue to wait for the appearance of the insect fleet.
Because he knew that if he gave up the third stage of the fight at this time and directly entered the fourth stage in advance, before the insect fleet was in place, it was very likely that the opponent would successfully escape from the flanking range of the two fleets and avoid entering.
Within your own home planet.
Once the Murloc fleet is allowed to successfully return to their home planet, it will become very troublesome for them to successfully complete the intended purpose of this combat operation.
At Harens's insistence, the Protoss fleet continued to implement the third phase of the combat action plan. All Protoss ships were trying their best to save energy consumption in the hope of prolonging the tug-of-war as much as possible.
But this method of saving energy consumption only treated the symptoms, not the root cause. As the battle continued, the average energy reserve of the Protoss fleet further declined and soon fell below the 50% danger line.
At this time, even Harens could not sit still. He began to consider whether the First Fleet had encountered some big trouble that could not be solved in a short time, and whether their tactical plan needed to be changed immediately.
But at this time, some keen protoss captains suddenly discovered a strange thing, that is, the protoss fleet that had been fighting since the beginning of the exchange of fire between the two fleets came from another small protoss fleet that was captured by the fishmen.
The cold guns and cold guns suddenly disappeared!
And not long after this incident happened, the reef battleships of the murloc fleet suddenly stopped their free pursuit of the ships of the protoss fleet. They began to reorganize and assemble to slowly retreat to their home planet!
"Executor! The enemy is retreating!"
"Executor! Received the psychic signal from the first fleet of Zerg. They bypassed Julma 028 and are approaching us from the northwest side of the battlefield!"
The ship officers on the flagship sent the latest information to Harens one after another. This new information shocked the Protoss executive officer. He suddenly raised his head and looked at the huge planet not far away!
I saw a huge biological fleet quickly sailing out from the shadow on the north side of the planet. The huge Leviathan jumped out of the shadow of the water with a large number of Zerg biological warships like a giant beast that swallowed the stars.
It bit the flank of the retreating murloc fleet!
"Command the fleet! The fourth phase of the battle plan begins! The entire fleet assembles! Prepare to pursue the enemy fleet!"
Harens issued further combat orders without hesitation. The protoss ships that had previously been loosely wandering around the void battlefield immediately moved closer to their flagship after receiving the order. All protoss captains no longer begrudge their ships.
Energy, all turned on full power to form a formation, chasing the murloc fleet that was fleeing in panic!
Dazzling flashes of light pierced the void again, and the protoss fleet pursued them one after another while launching volley after salvo at the murloc fleet cluster.
At this time, a large part of the seawater energy surrounding the reef battleships of the Murloc fleet had been consumed, and the remaining seawater shield was no longer enough to completely offset the huge energy burst out by the protoss fleet.
As a result, for the first time, the reef battleships of the Murloc fleet suffered losses under the concentrated fire of the main force of the Protoss. The dozens of reef battleships traveling at the end of the fleet were quickly turned into cosmic dust under the fierce bombardment of the energy weapons of the Protoss fleet.
.
However, for the current murloc fleet, what they are most worried about is not the fleet of "defeated generals" that are chasing after them one after another, but those that suddenly appear on the flanks of the battlefield and are now almost completely blocking their return.
The "giant monsters" of the road!
The sudden intervention of the first fleet of the swarm on the battlefield was obviously not expected by the murloc natives of the Sapphire Planet. When those ferocious-looking giant monsters that looked like demons from hell suddenly appeared and attacked their planet's orbital defense system.
Only when it was within range did the shocked Sapphire Planet natives urgently notify their fleet.
However, at this moment, their notice had obviously come too late, because the First Fleet had already inserted directly into the return route of the main force of the Murloc fleet from the flank under Stukov's order, just like an insurmountable insurmountable barrier.
