Both Elfi and Lin Zhen actually felt very strange about this matter.
After all, judging from past news, the Oaks Empire even consumed its entire century-long savings in order to buy 5,000 Babavi Empire's foreign trade warships. This shows how terrifying the prices of the warships sold by the Babavi Empire are.
However, now the Serra Empire has taken out so many ships at once. According to Elfie, a total of 50,000 ships have appeared from the Star Road, and they are still appearing in the future.
What does that mean? It means that the Serra Empire has far more than 50,000 shield ships. It may be 100,000 or even 200,000 ships. But the question is how did the Serra Empire obtain so many shield ships?
You must know that although the Serra Empire is stronger than the Io Federation or the Oaks Empire, its advantage is also limited. It should not be able to buy such a warship. There must be something wrong with it.
Shortly after Alfie and Lin Zhen finished talking, the people on Wayne's fortress-level planet had already boarded the spacecraft and began to evacuate.
After all, it is an important military town on the border. There are no ordinary civilians living here. There are only soldiers from the Io Federation and some related personnel. The number is not large, and most of them are inside the fortress, so the evacuation was very quick.
But although the evacuation does not take much time, and all personnel can board the ship and start evacuation in about half an hour, the defense line of Star Road is not optimistic.
At present, a total of 70,000 shield battleships have sailed out of the Star Road, and they are still continuing to sail out, which makes Bernice a little anxious.
She has calculated that the Star Road defense line must be supported for one hour to ensure the safe evacuation of other personnel, otherwise they will definitely be overtaken and eliminated. After all, Babavi's foreign trade warship can reach a speed of 30,000 kilometers per second.
However, if you want to persist for an hour, you will probably have to pay the price of at least one legion!
Seeing the battleships of the Ninth Legion being destroyed continuously on the front line, Bernice felt powerless.
"Haven't the Eleventh and Twelfth Legion reached the defense line yet? If this continues, the Ninth Legion will suffer too many casualties!"
"It will take one more minute, Commander Bernice!"
"Tell them that they must hold my defense for an hour!"
"yes!"
At this moment, the Ninth Army's casualties had reached a terrifying 100,000. The battle had only lasted less than ten minutes, and the Ninth Army still occupied an absolutely favorable terrain.
However, it took ten minutes to destroy less than 1,000 of the opponent's warships, and its own casualties exceeded 100,000, which was a casualty rate of 100 to 1. This shows how powerless the third-level civilized warships are against the fourth-level civilized warships.
This is just an extremely weakened version of the foreign trade-type fourth-level civilization battleship, which is even weaker than the killer whale-class battleship currently used by the Federation!
A minute later, the Eleventh and Twelfth Legions arrived at the defense line and began to cover the area with fire. The Io Federation's firepower suddenly increased several times.
Although the joining of the two legions has slightly eased the situation, it is already too late!
At this moment, the Serra Empire has 80,000 shield battleships sailing out of the Star Road, and has established a preliminary bridgehead, forming an array that has begun to take shape, and has stronger attack capabilities.
Every minute and every second, a large number of Io Federation warships were destroyed, and countless beautiful angels perished.
When 120,000 shield battleships appeared in the Sierra Alliance, they finally stopped. What followed became the Sierra Empire's own main battleships, which made Bernice breathe a sigh of relief.
After all, if there are only 120,000 ships, the current Io Federation will not be afraid. Bernice knows that the Queen's Guards Fleet currently being formed has completed 200,000 warships.
Although the single-wheeled warships may be weaker than the warships purchased by the Serra Empire, they have a numerical advantage after all. The most important thing is that the Io Federation is backed by the Human Federation, and it has a defense treaty with its own federation.
Therefore, Wayne may suffer heavy losses in this battle with the Io Federation, but Boni has no doubt that the final victory still belongs to the Io Federation.
While she breathed a sigh of relief, Bernice did not forget and immediately informed Elfie of the news that the opponent's number of shield battleships was 120,000.
An hour later, the fleet of people evacuated from the fortress and planet had arrived at the entrance to the Star Road leading to the rear, and began to enter one after another!
"Inform the legions on the defense line immediately to start evacuating!"
Seeing that the time had come, Bernice decisively issued an order to retreat across the board.
"yes!"
At this moment, the total battle losses of the three legions on the defense line have reached a terrifying 450,000. Among them, the ninth legion suffered the most casualties, directly losing 220,000 warships. The remaining two legions suffered losses of 110,000 and 120,000 respectively.
The Serra Empire, on the other hand, only lost 3,000 shield battleships and 50,000 conventional main battleships.
And at the exit of the Star Road, a huge array consisting of 117,000 shield battleships and more than 400,000 conventional main battleships has been formed.
If we don't retreat, I'm afraid it won't be long before the three legions are here. But even if we retreat, we will have to pay a heavy price.
"Commander Bernice, the 11th and 12th legions have begun to withdraw from the defense line, but Commander Bonny of the ninth legion refuses to evacuate!"
"What? Get me through Bonnie right now!"
"yes!"
A few seconds later, when the communication was connected, Bernice roared directly!
"Bonnie, what are you doing? I have ordered the entire line to retreat!"
"Commander, you and I both understand that we will be pursued on the way back now, not to mention the 120,000 shield warships of the Babavi Empire. Their speed is several times faster than ours, and they can easily bypass us and directly block the enemy in front of us.
Stay on the retreat route, and then flank us with the pursuit fleet behind us. The possibility of our successful retreat is very small!"
"Bonnie, are you ready?"
Listening to Bonnie's words, Bernice had to admit that what she said was correct. The possibility of the three legions successfully evacuating was extremely slim!
At the same time, Bernice also somewhat understood what Bonnie was going to do!
"Yes, I will try my best to buy you time. I wish you good luck, Commander Bernice."
After finishing speaking, Bonnie gave a military salute to Bernice who was in the communication, and then directly cut off the communication!
Not far from the exit of Star Road, the remaining 80,000 warships of the Ninth Legion still stood on the defense line.
In a gorgeous white heavy battleship, Bonnie is giving the final order!
"Order the entire fleet to rush directly into the enemy's formation, drag the opponent into a melee, and delay as much time as possible so that the sisters of the remaining legions can evacuate safely!"
"yes!"
At this moment, the remaining soldiers of the entire Ninth Legion already knew what they were going to face and what they were going to do!
They had no hesitation, no one of the 80,000 warships hesitated, and they all followed the legion commander's final order and started the assault!
Seeing this scene on the defense line, Bernice opened the communication and yelled!
"Everyone, move quickly. The sisters of the Ninth Legion are using their lives to create opportunities for you. Don't let down all that they have sacrificed!"
