One Thousand Five Hundred and Sixty-Two Take It Easy

In the deep universe, an unprecedented fleet decisive battle is in progress. The number of warships used by both sides has surpassed the previous battles.

The 1st Space Fleet of the Alan Hill Empire is engaged in a fierce firefight with the Guardian Fleet attacking its own line of defense near the Higgs 5.

The dense star-destroying cannon light illuminated the entire battlefield, and countless warships were neatly organized into a square formation, lined up along the track, and bombarded non-stop towards distant targets.

On the large battleship deck, the magic laser cannon turrets are neatly pointed at the enemy fleet, and the charged cannons are fired one by one in the universe.

And after a large-scale salvo, a tragic explosion came from the dark universe in the distance.

In the attacking Guardian fleet, a hit Arbiter spaceship exploded violently and broke into two pieces.

Farther away, a huge World Destroyer battleship hit by the Star Destroyer is also constantly dying, like a box of firecrackers being lit.

Beside these exploding watchman warships, countless black energy rays hit the direction of the fleet of the Alan Hill Empire, also densely packed.

In the fleet of the Alan Hill Empire, there were also tragic explosions happening non-stop. A cruiser was directly hit by the black energy ray, and exploded in an instant, before even the lifeboats could be released in time.

Next to the exploding cruiser, a huge Irish battleship was also hit. The hull of the battleship, which had exhausted its defensive energy, was easily pierced. The explosion had blown off most of the deck, and the turret had already floated into space.

The fierce battle is still going on, and the warships of the Alan Hill Empire slightly adjust their positions, trying to avoid the deadly attacks from afar.

"Hold on! Gentlemen! The enemy is just bluffing!" A captain stood on his command position with his hands behind his back, firmly encouraging his subordinates.

His battleship had already been hit by the enemy's artillery fire at this moment, and the black energy that penetrated the armor exploded inside the battleship, blowing away the attitude engine on the side of the hull.

Inside the battleship, the airtight doors dropped rapidly one after another, accompanied by a tense prompt echoing in the dark corridor: "The hull has been pierced! The hull has been pierced! The airtight structure is damaged! The airtight Structural damage!"

A crew member in a white spacesuit hurried through a corridor, and he lifted a cover next to it marked with the symbol of the fire extinguishing system.

Pulled out a console from inside, he reached out to enter the control code, and then hastily pulled down the manual gate on it.

"I did it manually! Why is there no response!" He pressed the intercom and asked his companion on the other end.

"Try pulling it again! Maybe there's a problem with the circuit, maybe there's something wrong with your operation!" An anxious voice of the damage control officer came from the headset: "The sensor shows that the five cabins next to you are already on fire! If you can't depressurize, more than half of the cabin on the left side may be blown away by the sacrificial explosion!"

"I'm trying! I'm trying!" After typing the password again, and then pulling the gate next to it, the exasperated crew member shouted into the communicator.

On a screen of about five inches,

It is still a failure prompt with a flashing red light. The airtight door behind the crew member suddenly fell down at this moment: "Oxygen leak! Oxygen leak! Please immediately..."

The crew member stretched out his hand and fastened the glass mask in front of him. He didn't continue to ask until a prompt in front of him turned green, "I've restarted the operation! It still doesn't work!"

"Damn...you better get out of there..." In the headset, the damage control officer muttered in despair, and then there was no sound.

Suddenly, a violent explosion occurred in the cabin next door, and the flames spread through the long corridor, engulfing the puppet robots that had just passed by in an instant.

At the same time, with the tragic explosion, the hull of the battleship was lifted into the universe, and because of the air pressure, the surrounding debris, corpses, furniture and other things all flew out.

"I x..." Through the small window on the airtight door, the crew member who saw that the cabin next door had been completely blown up, cursed subconsciously.

Along with his cursing, the leaky cabin he was in also exploded.

His spacesuit was pierced by the fragments of the explosion in an instant, and then his whole body tumbled into the universe uncontrollably along with the airflow.

From his perspective, he saw the disintegration of the warship he left, and also saw the officers in the bridge looking at him through the glass window.

Then, he couldn't feel anything anymore. It was pitch black, and deep drowsiness struck.

On the bridge of the super battleship Serris, an officer was standing in front of Genesis, recording the commander's order.

Genesis stood by the map table and issued the first order he personally issued since the outbreak of this battle: "The battleship on the left wing moves forward 1.1 million kilometers! Close the distance to the enemy! Keep firing continuously! "

"Squeeze the enemy's flank and put pressure on the opponent... so that the opponent cannot attack our right wing comfortably..." He said word by word: "The battleship on the right wing stays in its original position! Don't retreat! Reinforcement troops immediately arrive!"

The chief of staff hurried into the bridge headquarters, glanced at several staff officers who were waiting for him, and asked in a low voice: "Why did the fight suddenly start? There is no prior warning for such a large-scale battle. are not there?"

A staff officer handed over the information to his chief, and explained: "The other party's fleet mobilization has an early warning. We sounded the battle alarm according to the situation on the front line... But this time, the other party is obviously a little... annoyed. .”

"It seems that the opponent wants to drive our fleet far enough away from the Higgs 5." Seeing the attack method of the opponent's warship, the chief of staff immediately guessed some of the opponent's thoughts.

The opponent's attack is almost parallel, and such a comprehensive attack is not aimed at his 1st Fleet.

Obviously, the opponent hopes to oppress the 1st Fleet, give up their position, and widen the distance between the defense line of the Alan Hill Empire and the Higgs 5 planet.

"Completely surround Higgs 5... It seems that the opponent's patience is about to run out!" He said to himself while looking down at the report.

On the battlefield, another round of enemy salvos came head-on, most of which were canceled out by the defensive barriers on the battleships supporting the front, and some leaked to the rear, flying past the portholes on the side of the Serris battleship.

As far as the eye could see, a dilapidated warship was being dragged away from the battlefield by the repair spaceship. Explosions from time to time made this dilapidated and dilapidated warship look even more miserable.

"The battleship Powell is completely finished... It was hit directly, and the corpses of the soldiers blown out by the explosion all floated on the Sujia..." An officer pinched a piece of the battle damage report that had just been sent, Don't know who to report to.

"If we continue to stick here, will there be problems?" A staff officer frowned and asked his colleagues around him.

He wasn't worried about any problems with his battleship, because if the Seris was really in danger, the 1st Fleet would be finished, and in his opinion, this kind of thing would never happen.

What he was worried about was if the enemy wanted to surround the Higgs 5 planet more firmly, would the 1st Fleet stick to its current position, would it shake the enemy's plan.

"The problem is not a problem, but the loss will increase exponentially. I don't think this is something His Majesty would like to see." Another staff officer shook his head slightly and said.

Hearing his words, the chief of staff frowned slightly and reminded: "Since the battle just now, we have lost more than 20 Invincible-class battleships. This loss speed is not too slow."

"However, we can still bear such a loss. The enemy's loss is not smaller than ours. With such an attack, the opponent will only persist for a few hours at most before withdrawing and disengaging." The staff officer immediately explained .

In fact, although the guardians can reproduce and reproduce almost infinitely, their reproduction and reproduction also take time.

Obviously, the loss of the Alan Hill Empire is not small, but the loss of the other side is also great. The battle between space fleets of this size is completely exhausting.

Having said that, although such consumption will not cause pain to the Elland Hill Empire, losses are losses after all, and frontline commanders will naturally take the initiative to reduce their own losses, which is their responsibility.

In fact, what made them hesitate was whether Higgs 5 should really abandon this decision completely.

In fact, according to the previous strategic decision of the Alan Hill Empire, Higgs 5 should be discarded as a sacrificial bait after receiving a round of supplements.

But because of Andre and others' persistence on the surface defense line, as well as the tenacious defense of the 1st Space Fleet, until now, the guards have not completely surrounded Higgs 5.

The 1st Fleet is within easy reach of the Higgs 5, and it only takes a short assault to reconnect with the Higgs 5.

Just like last time, the Ireland Hill Empire can continue to reinforce the Higgs 5 at any time, which is actually contrary to the strategic intention of abandoning the Higgs 5.

Part of the reason why a lot of manpower and material resources were not spent on building a magic eye portal is also the same.

If the Alan Hill Empire can reinforce Higgs 5 at any time, turn it into a mill, and keep fighting with the opponent for consumption-then the opponent is likely to turn to attack other places immediately after realizing that it is a trap.

This may disrupt the defense deployment of the Alan Hill Empire itself. From a strategic point of view, it is completely worth the loss.

Therefore, no matter Genesis, Wagron, or even the commander of the theater, Mordell and Medias, none of them made up their minds to stick to Higgs 5, and this is the key to everything!

Even the commanders are struggling and weighing repeatedly, which better shows how improvised the strategic deployment of the Alan Hill Empire for the Higgs 5 area is.

Everyone didn't expect it to play so well here, so that it became a question mark whether to abandon it completely.

"If we continue to retreat, then Higgs 5 will completely become an isolated island surrounded by the enemy." A staff officer obviously felt a little bit reluctant, and whispered something.

There is a dragon general on the ground, and Andre, the brave commander... There were millions of soldiers who reinforced there more than ten days ago... Isn't it too cold-blooded to abandon it like this now?

In fact, many people have such doubts. It is really a pity to abandon the millions of friendly troops on the ground.

The chief of staff was also unwilling to give up, but he had to consider the subsequent changes in the entire battle situation, so he said: "A month ago, they should have been surrounded by isolated islands... We have been persisting here for their sake." The flanks provide cover."

Before Genesis could say anything, an officer came over at this moment and handed Genesis a telegram: "Report! Marshal, General... The captain of the battleship San Nolet is calling... Long live His Majesty the Emperor... Your Majesty Go first."

"The Saint Nolete was sunk?" Genesis was taken aback for a moment. He remembered that battleship. When the construction of that battleship was completed, it was the commissioning ceremony presided over by Plun Aike himself.

"It disintegrated and sank less than a minute ago." The officer said with regret in his tone.

"..." Genesis was silent, he didn't know whether he was lonely because of the loss of a battleship, or he was thinking about something.

"Send a telegram to General Andre, just one word, take care." After a long time, when everyone was a little anxious, Genesis finally spoke. There was some hoarseness in his voice, and it sounded a little uncomfortable.

"Obey! Marshal!" The officer stood at attention and saluted, then turned back standardly and left.

"Order! Cancel the order to advance on the left wing! All warships retreat...the distance is 10.5 million kilometers! Get out of contact with the enemy's shelling!" Afterwards, Genesis issued an order for the fleet to retreat.

This is the first time that the Alan Hill Empire fleet has retreated across the board since the surface battle broke out on Higgs 5.

And the distance of 10.5 million kilometers is no longer a distance that can be broken through in one attack-this means that it is impossible for Higgs 5 to get support from space again.

...

"There is a call from the 1st Fleet... There is only one word, take care." The communications officer passed a message to Andre in the underground bunker.

Andre was stunned for a moment, and then a smile appeared on his face: "Let's go? Go! If you don't go, Marshal, I won't dare to fight here. If you go, I can calm down... Go to hell!"
