The sudden retreat order made the entire Serra Empire army a little confused!
We were almost arriving at the battlefield, why did we suddenly retreat?
After all, the only people who can know the difference between the third-level civilization and the fourth-level civilization are commanders above a certain level. Other soldiers do not know these things.
Although everyone was full of doubts, as imperial soldiers, they immediately carried out the order, and more than 3 million warships began to fly in arcs in an orderly manner and correct their course!
"The Serra Empire's army has begun to turn around. It should be that they want to withdraw the empire from the Star Road!"
Elena said to Liang Xingchen and Lin Fan who were communicating.
"Don't worry, it will take at least an hour and a half for them to reach the entrance to the Star Road over there. We have enough time to annihilate all the fleets here before intercepting them!"
"Yes, let's not worry about the retreating ordinary warships. Our first priority is to encircle and annihilate the enemies here as soon as possible!"
Liang Xingchen and Lin Fan said to Elena one after another.
From the two of them's point of view, they don't think that the Serra Empire's army can escape at all. The most important thing at the moment is to annihilate the more than 100,000 level-4 civilized warships in front of them!
The next moment, the Royal Guards Fleet also began to take action. They also received Basel's order and retreated at full speed!
The warships began to accelerate one after another and charged towards the Queen's Guards Corps!
"Elena, after the Congress and the others attack, don't confront them head-on! Control the fleet to cooperate with their assault and gradually clear the way, and then attack them from both sides!"
After Liang Xingchen looked at the tactical video, he said to Elena.
"clear!"
After giving instructions to Elena, Liang Xingchen immediately led the second army to launch a pursuit battle.
Lin Fan, on the other hand, led the First Legion to accelerate directly and start flying in an arc, preparing to go around the edge, and then make a horizontal thrust from the side of the Royal Guards Fleet.
After all, one legion is enough for a pursuit battle. The firing area is so large that even one legion cannot be fully deployed. If Lin Fan's second legion goes over, it will not be able to play any role.
Two minutes later, the Royal Guards Fleet braved powerful firepower and rushed in front of the Queen's Guards Fleet, and crashed directly into it.
Elena, who had been prompted by Liang Xingchen, immediately ordered the fleet to cooperate with the opponent's advance and gradually spread out to the left and right. This operation gave people the visual sense as if the Royal Guards Fleet had crashed into Io.
In the federal fleet array, a central breakthrough was successfully carried out!
However, reality was always a slap in the face. The Queen's Guards fleet that dispersed to the left and right turned their ships' bows and launched a fierce crossfire towards the advancing Serra battleship in the center.
Coupled with Liang Xingchen's pursuit behind him, countless battleships of the Royal Guards Fleet were destroyed in a short time.
After abandoning the wreckage of more than 30,000 battleships and finally escaping from the flanking attack of the Queen's Guards Fleet, all the Serra people on the battleships breathed a sigh of relief.
For them, as long as they stand out, they can use their speed advantage to completely leave the opponent behind and retreat safely.
After all, the speed of our own warships can reach 30,000 kilometers per second, right?
But before they could relax for a long time, hundreds of thousands of warships suddenly appeared on the side to form an assault array and directly rammed into the center of the array!
This is Lin Fan's first legion. He did not pursue the pursuit with Liang Xingchen just now. Instead, he led the entire legion in an arc flight and circled half a circle. He calculated exactly when the opponent would break through the Queen's Guards legion.
A horizontal assault was launched, cutting through its array.
"Elena, if your battleship cannot keep up with the speed, don't participate in the pursuit. When the Serra Empire's army is 5 million kilometers away from the entrance to the Star Road, they will directly jump over in a short distance and set up an interception array in front of the Star Road entrance.
!Lin Fan and I will come over immediately after we deal with these battleships!"
"clear!"
Elena understands that in this kind of pursuit battle that often moves at tens of thousands of kilometers per second, the Queen's Guards Corps cannot intervene at all!
After all, the speed of his own legion is only 8,000 kilometers per second!
After this battle is over, should she suggest that the Queen discuss the purchase of sublight engines with the Human Federation? Elena couldn't help but think so.
Liang Xingchen and Lin Fan cooperated very well, with one maintaining a distance of 1 million kilometers behind them, launching a pursuit battle, and constantly cannibalizing the other's warship!
The other is to directly take advantage of the speed of 50,000 kilometers per second to continuously attack back and forth and cut up its formation!
In the distance, Basel, who was retreating, also looked at the images of the Royal Guards fleet being slaughtered on the battlefield, and he realized that he was stupid.
Now that we all know that the opponent is a level four civilization, how can it be possible that its speed cannot match that of the Royal Guards Fleet?
To put it bluntly, the warships used by the Royal Guards Fleet of the Serra Empire are just performance-stripped versions of the fourth-level civilization Babavi Empire. Isn’t it normal to be chased and beaten by others?
Basel has even seen the ending. He understands that the Royal Guards Fleet can no longer go back and will be completely annihilated there soon!
The key now is, is there any chance of withdrawing the more than 3 million warships?
"Order the Royal Guards Fleet to stop retreating. If you continue to retreat, you will only be unilaterally tortured. It is better to stop and fight to the death with the opponent! It can also buy time for the retreat of the main fleet!"
"Yes, General Basel!"
When the order was passed to the Royal Guards Fleet, everyone understood that they had been abandoned.
Fortunately, all the members of the Guards Fleet are carefully selected and absolutely die-hard, otherwise if they were ordinary Imperial soldiers, they would probably quit after hearing such an order!
However, the Royal Guards fleet is different. They are all die-hard loyalists. Even if they know that they have been abandoned, they will still faithfully complete their orders.
The entire fleet no longer fled at this moment, but began to counterattack!
Since Lin Fan and Liang Xingchen had been attacking from the side and chasing from behind just now, they didn't suffer any losses. After all, they never appeared within the shooting angle of the opponent's main gun!
But when the Royal Guards Fleet began to stop escaping and instead fought desperately, the situation changed. The first and second legions also began to suffer casualties!
Although it is not much, after all, the numerical advantage is there, and both the firepower and shield performance are stronger than those of the Royal Guards Fleet.
Although this wave of counterattacks was brave and desperate, the losses it could bring to the two legions were still limited. In the end, after the first and second legions each spent hundreds of warships, their remaining 70,000
Many battleships were all wiped out!
At this moment, the Serra Empire's army is only less than 10 million kilometers away from the entrance to the Star Gate!
