Chapter 40 Escape

Faced with the sudden attack, Dorant felt bad.

He had never seen a destroyer-class warship with such a high firepower density.

Even if a battleship wanted to achieve this firepower density, all the crew members would have to undergo five or six years of cooperative training.

The command channel of the Imperial Fleet was in chaos.

"The port side of our ship was severely damaged... A crew member was thrown out of the ship, requesting to withdraw from the battle sequence..." The captain of a frigate said in the communication channel, suppressing the great grief of losing his comrades.

"The main gun of our ship was hit, and the energy supply pipeline exploded... We are abandoning the ship... Requesting friendly ships to rescue the escape pod." Another captain had no choice but to issue an abandonment order because the energy inside the warship had lost control.

In just three minutes, seven or eight warships of the originally neat Imperial Fleet broke away from the formation and slowly withdrew from the battlefield.

Three or four warships were torn to pieces by the precise artillery fire of the Snow Peak before they could react.

Even the cruiser in the center of the spherical array was hit by a stray bullet, and the outer armor dropped by 3%.

Dorant, who was still dreaming of getting promoted and getting rich, was sweating profusely. His brain had lost the ability to think, and he stood there in a daze listening to the chaos in the fleet communication channel.

Commanders who make low-level mistakes on the battlefield are certainly hateful, but even more hateful are commanders like Dorant whose brains crash when they encounter emergencies.

In a battlefield where every second counts, let alone being unable to issue orders, even if you issue clear and correct orders, sometimes you will miss opportunities.

Dorant was stunned for half a minute, and during this half minute, the main guns of the Snow Peak fired twice, and the secondary guns fired thousands of laser beams.

The Imperial Fleet rushed up aggressively, and within half an hour, there were signs of defeat.

As a competent commander, how could Qi Yiming miss such an opportunity?

Seize the opportunity to lock on Dorant's cruiser, and use both the secondary and main guns.

The result was obvious. As the only cruiser left in the entire fleet, it set off fireworks on the lively battlefield.

When the captains of the Imperial Fleet found that the commander's ship was sunk by the Xuefeng with overwhelming firepower density, their psychological defenses collapsed instantly.

At this moment, the captains of each ship had no intention of fighting a decisive battle with the Xuefeng except to escape.

After discovering that the Imperial Fleet had collapsed, Qi Yiming did not pursue it, but ordered the Redemption to move closer to the Xuefeng and re-form a double-ship formation.

Qi Yiming's thinking was very clear. If he did not run away at this time, when the Empire reacted and sent heavy troops to block the channel in and out of the K-332 galaxy, even if Qi Yiming's two warships were powerful, they would be exhausted one day.

When Qi Yiming commanded the two warships to the edge of the K-332 galaxy, the captain of the Imperial warship responsible for guarding the channel seemed to be still in shock.

The captain simply couldn't believe that a full fleet led by a cruiser that just passed by here, and it was less than half an hour later, and they ran away or died...

"Even if there are 30 pigs waiting for you to slaughter, it will take a day." The captain guarding the entrance and exit complained in front of his subordinates without any scruples.

"Captain, two warships have applied to leave the K-332 system through the channel." The communications chief turned to look at his superior.

The captain was about to give the order to let them go, but his adjutant stood up to stop him: "Sir, we should block the channel first at this time..."

The captain looked at his adjutant with approval on the surface, but he had already greeted the adjutant's immediate family members in his heart.

"What's wrong with your brain? Are those two warships anyone who can be provoked? Didn't you see that a full fleet of cruisers of the Empire was completely subdued in less than half an hour? Are you a smart person?" The captain who was reminded roared furiously in his heart, but he still looked businesslike.

"Things like blocking the waterway require authorization from the top... This ship is only responsible for maintaining the smooth flow of the waterway. We cannot block the waterway before receiving a clear order." The wise captain used a high-sounding reason to block the adjutant and glanced at the order to block the galaxy he had just received.

Then he turned to the communications chief and said, "Notify the two warships that they can use the waterway..."

At this time, Qi Yiming was ready to force his way in, but he didn't expect that the captain of the Empire would let him go.

Qi Yiming no longer paid attention to the Empire's warship. At this time, he would run as far as he could, and it would be best if he could run out of the Empire's territory before the Empire officials reacted.

In fact, the Empire's reaction was not slow. As soon as the fleet was defeated, the top military officials of the Empire issued an order to blockade the K-332 galaxy.

Qi Yiming was lucky to meet a captain who knew how to cherish his life, which allowed him to successfully escape from the K-332 galaxy.

But this does not mean that Qi Yiming is safe, but that their escape has just begun.

In order to save time, Qi Yiming did not make any supplies on the way out of the Empire.

The crew could only eat the rations made by the food synthesis machine on the ship to maintain the most basic energy needs.

The two warships raced against time along the way. Every time they passed an imperial checkpoint set up on the waterway, Qi Yiming's heart would rise to his throat.

But to Qi Yiming's surprise, there was no danger along the way.

Until the two warships jumped off the bridge at the border of the empire and left the empire's territory, Qi Yiming didn't quite believe it was true.

But the fact is that he led the Xuefeng and the Redemption to leave the empire's territory smoothly and set off on the journey back to the Xuanwu star field.

"If the top leaders of the empire are not idiots, then there are unstable factors within the empire, which makes them have no energy to deal with us." Qi Yiming touched his chin and said to the couple.

Qi Yiming was very satisfied with the stable performance of the couple this time, so he specially communicated with them for a while.

In fact, Qi Yiming's guess was not wrong. When Qi Yiming defeated the imperial fleet, their top leaders had ordered all waterway checkpoints in the empire's territory to immediately block the waterway.

However, what the imperial high-ranking officials did not expect was that just when they were about to pursue Qi Yiming with all their strength, the Empire's neighboring country, the Turing Republic, suddenly launched an attack and concentrated three main fleets to raid the Empire's defense line at the border between the two countries.

The Imperial Fleet suffered heavy losses. The fleet originally used to encircle Qi Yiming temporarily changed its plan and the entire fleet was sent to the border to support the front line.

The chiefs of the checkpoints on various routes knew that Qi Yiming was the target of interception, but no one was willing to stand up and die without reinforcements, which allowed Qi Yiming to take advantage of the opportunity.

It has to be said that sometimes luck is also a kind of strength. Qi Yiming's luck this time is like the son of heaven, which makes people envious and speechless.

A few days later, the Xuefeng and the Redemption appeared in the border area of ​​the Xuanwu Galaxy.

At this moment, Qi Yiming was really relieved: "Finally I got out... It's still better to bully in the Xuanwu Galaxy!"
