"Paris, you idiot!"
Looking at the image in front of him, Sanhe Sen was infuriated.
Just now, he had realized that the other party seemed to be consciously compressing the formation of the alert fleet. Then, he remembered the large area of effect super weapons and felt that something was wrong.
However, it was too late to inform Paris not to be hit by the timer.
Seeing that 90% of the remaining warships of the alert fleet had been involved in this wave of attack, Sanhe Sen scolded Paris for being incompetent. How could he not have seen through such a simple tactic? He had forgotten that he had only just realized what was going on, and even …
He had reacted a little slower than Paris.
At least, Paris had reacted and commanded the fleet to disperse.
"Commander, the other party …"
"The other party what?"
"The other party did not release the attack from the warship. It was the super-large combat vehicle that flew out of the warship!"
His deputy had felt that something was wrong from the beginning, and it was only now that he realized what was going on. He immediately reminded Sanhe Sen.
"Bastard, do you think I'm blind? Do I need you to remind me?"
Although Sanhe Sen had said so, in reality …
If it weren't for his subordinate's reminder, he wouldn't have realized what was going on.
But then again, could the combat vehicle also release such a super attack?
Or could it be that the initial attack was launched by this vehicle from the battleship?
In any case, the threat of the warship and the super-large combat vehicle was too great. They had to be separated from the main fleet of Crete from the beginning.
"Order the encirclement and suppression team to immediately establish a firepower net between the warship and the other fleets of Crete and forcibly separate them. The rest of the fleets, relying on their absolute advantage in numbers, press on the fleet of the Crete Empire from all directions. Drive them away from the encirclement and suppression team!"
"Yes, Commander!"
This was the tactic that had been decided in the previous battle meeting. For the warship that posed the greatest threat, they would use more than 100 billion warships to form a firepower net to isolate it from the other fleets. Then, the rest of the main fleet would surround the five billion warships of the Crete Empire.
Of course, this encirclement would leave a gap for the enemy to break through. The purpose was not to destroy them, but to force the enemy fleet away so that it would not affect the encirclement and suppression of the Tarlac.
Well, there was no problem with this plan. However, would Lin Kexin and Zi Luo really act as Sanhe Sen had predicted?
Obviously, this was impossible.
Before the operation even began, the first exception had already appeared …
"Commander, the enemy vehicle is moving!"
"Hmm?"
Hearing this, Tririver Sen was shocked and immediately looked at the tactical board.
As expected, just as his subordinate reported, the strange battle vehicle began to move, but …
They were not rushing toward the main fleet of the alliance fleet, nor were they rushing into the patrol fleet to clean up the rear. Instead, they were going back the way they came.
That's right, it was returning the way it came from. Based on its trajectory, it could be clearly determined that it was …
It was time to return!
That was to be expected. With such a combat vehicle, the amount of energy required to unleash that kind of attack was definitely not a small amount. Presumably, that attack had already exhausted all the energy it carried.
Seeing this scene, Sanhe Sen couldn't help but imagine in his mind.
However, the next scene "confirmed" his various speculations.
After retrieving the Vermillion Bird, the Tarlac immediately turned around and opened a hyperspace window. Then …
He ran away!
Sure enough, with such a powerful attack, not to mention continuous attacks, even replenishing energy would be a rather troublesome matter, right?
Unfortunately, the hyperspace interference device had not yet been successfully cracked. Otherwise, they would have taken advantage of this opportunity to capture the battleship.
However, it was fine. No matter how far the battleship ran, it would not be able to escape from their grasp. They would take advantage of this opportunity to annihilate the enemy fleet, and then immediately attack the Crete Empire.
I don't believe that with the current blocked, you can still pull out the Bosnian hyperspace!
"Order the encirclement team to abandon the current mission and cooperate with the main fleet to fill the gap that was originally reserved for the enemy to break through!"
Sanhe Sen continued to imagine wildly, regaining his confidence. He waved his hand and ordered.
-----
"Deputy Commander, the Tarlac has been confirmed to have retreated!"
"Okay, the person who stole the show is gone. Now, it's time for us to start the show. If anyone dares to screw up, don't blame me for being merciless after the battle. The entire fleet's dark energy shield will be operating at full power!"
"Yes, Deputy Commander!"
Lin Kexin did not want to use any tactics at all. No, it should be said that against an opponent from a level-7 civilization, there was no need to sacrifice so many brain cells. She could just face them head-on.
Even though the formation of the joint fleet had already formed a net and was rapidly approaching her, Lin Kexin did not respond. She simply ordered the fleet to maintain its formation and meet them head-on.
"Deputy Commander, the target fleet has entered our 3au radius. It is currently the best attack range!"
"All fleet, fire immediately. Focus on the center of the enemy's formation. Within half an hour, you must create a hole big enough for us to pass through!"
"Understood!"
The next second, countless silver-white light beams and energy bullets crossed the entire 3au radius of the void. The attack of dark energy completely defied all common sense, bombarding the center of the joint fleet's formation with a speed of tens of thousands of times the speed of light.
Countless fireballs once again lit up the void, and more than a billion battleships were instantly destroyed.
Of course, compared to the size of the joint fleet, more than a billion battleships were nothing.
However, this was only one wave of attacks, and it was an ordinary wave of attacks. This meant that this kind of attack could be released quickly and continuously.
Sure enough, just ten seconds later, another wave of attacks blasted over. The entire Fearless fleet entered a state of deja vu as if they were practicing target practice.
After all, they were still 3au away, and the furthest range of the joint fleet was only 2au.
To cross this 1au distance and launch a counterattack against the Fearless fleet was not something that could be done in a short period of time.
If Lin Kexin was more sinister, she could even use the fact that the enemy could not interfere with hyperspace. Every time they were about to enter the joint fleet's range, she could use hyperspace to instantly pull the distance between the two sides back to 3au.
Of course, if she did this, it would be very easy for the enemy to fall into despair and retreat.
And this was not in line with the mission objective of this battle.
After all, Lin Yu's request was not to repel, but to …
Annihilate!
