Chapter 538 Pursuit and Choice

On the radar screen of the Gedora fleet, more than a hundred light spots representing the Dusky Star fleet are pulling away, and the incoming ion cannon array has also become sparse. This performance is obviously that the enemy has begun to retreat.

Bartett's expression changed, and he had a guess, and said in a deep voice: "Duskystar found that it was impossible to break through our defense line, so they simply retreated before our support arrived, they are going to give up this attack!"

Nagokin was also observing the battle situation on his own boat, frowning, "It should look like this..."

"The distance is getting farther and farther. I'm going to catch up. I can't let them go easily." Batet shouted.

"Don't be careless, this may be the enemy's trick to lure the enemy, so let's hold back."

Bartett's face was unhappy, "It's hard for Dusky Star to show up. I don't want to let the opportunity slip away. We were passively subjected to a round of shelling, and then we have to watch the enemy swagger away? That's not my style!"

The Dusky Star fleet is constantly moving away. Once it exceeds a certain distance, the radar will not be able to break through the opponent's concealment device, and the Dusky Star will enter the invisible state again and become an invisible fleet.

Looking at the farther and farther light spots on the screen, Bartet was about to move.

Nagokin was a little hesitant. Standing still was naturally the safest tactic, but opportunities were always fleeting, and he was not sure whether the enemy was really retreating.

If you catch up and entangle the Dusky Star, with your own strength, you can at least destroy some Dusky Star assault ships, and your own fleet can hold back the enemy's transition. If you delay the arrival of the support troops, you can severely damage the Dusky Star fleet.

The previous two attacks caused a lot of losses to Gedora, and the war situation was very chaotic. Even Nagokin really wanted to win the battle.

Moreover, Batet is the commander of this escort fleet. Although Nagokin is of a higher rank, he cannot directly give orders to Batet's fleet.

"Nagokin, don't hesitate!" Bartett said in a deep voice, "Whether you come or not, I'm going to act."

"...Leave a part of the fleet on standby." Nagokin's eyes were fixed, and he made a decision. He no longer tried to dissuade Batet, and prepared to catch up together.

"You don't need to remind me of this!" Bartett's eyes lit up, and he immediately issued a new order.

The next moment, the Gedora escort fleet was divided into two teams, 80 spaceships chased the Dusky Star fleet, and the remaining 40 ships stayed in the outer space of Planet Aquamarine on standby.

Batet decided to pursue, but he did not dispatch all his troops. The enemy fleet numbered about 110 ships, and his own fleet was the pursuit force. Eighty ships were barely enough to pose a threat, and he was not worried about the enemy's retaliation, so he could delay the battle. , and there is also Nagokin, a natural disaster-level powerhouse, even if the enemy also has natural disaster-level cadres, he can fight in a short time.

The chasing troops quickly caught up, the ion cannons erupted again and again, and the golden light flashed repeatedly, attacking beyond the visual range from a long distance, and releasing interference rays that prevented the jump to prevent the enemy from jumping and escaping.

Now that the Dusky Star fleet is retreating, Batet adjusted his strategy, keeping a sufficient reaction distance during the pursuit, focusing on procrastination, and guarding against the enemy turning around or possible ambushes.

The two fleets moved across the universe, gradually moving away from Planet Aquamarine.

At this moment, in the opposite direction from Bartett's departure, hundreds of transition streamers stopped at the outer space on the other side of Aquamarine from far to near, revealing their true face, but it was a new Dusky Star fleet, Hundreds of spaceships are all assault ships.

The Nokap fleet has a total of more than 200 warships, while the Gedora escort fleet has only 120 ships, which is only about half of the Dusky Star fleet, so he divided his fleet into two formations, where the command ship is The home team involved the energy of the Gedora escort fleet, and turned the tiger away from the mountain.

And this commando took the opportunity to attack, break through the blockade of the remaining Gedora fleet, and complete the strategic task of destroying Seablue Star.

Even if the Gedora escort fleet is not dispersed, this commando will show up and attack from both sides.

"attack!"

Far away in the command ship formation pursued by Butte, Nokap issued an order and conveyed it to the commando.

At this time, the forty Gedora battleships guarding the outer space of Planet Aquamarine reacted and hurriedly launched resistance. This time, the Dusky Star Commando was no longer attacking beyond visual range, but fighting at close range. The shields of the spaceships on both sides The surface exploded again and again, and the battle was fierce.

The size of this Dusky Star commando is more than twice the size of the left-behind Gedora fleet. The left-behind Gedora fleet fell into a bitter battle, and immediately passed the news to Bartet.

After receiving the news, Batet's eyes flashed, and he said in a deep voice: "So it's this kind of tactic, hmph, the enemy has more than 200 warships in total, nearly twice as many as ours, that's why they can do this... Everyone obeys the order, Speed ​​up and catch up, don't let the enemy command ship escape, let the remaining troops abandon Seablue Star, and come over to join us immediately."

Nagokin was surprised, "You don't want to come back?!"

"No need, time is too late, it is futile to return aid, and it will let go of the Dusky Star Command Fleet that was bitten by us. The loss outweighs the gain. The enemy is bigger than us. This is the gap in hard power. The losses are heavy, so it is a good thing for the enemy to divide their forces. We can just gather all the troops, eat up the Dusky Star command ship formation in front of us, and destroy them one by one. If the command ship is given enough pressure, the commando team will have to change its target. Rescue the command ship!"

Bartette snorted coldly. If he were to guard the important planet of Gedora, he would never dare to leave. He must focus on security. However, this disaster planet named Aquamarine is insignificant to him and can be used as a weapon at any time. Sacrifice.

Between protecting Seablue Star and attacking the Dusky Star fleet, he would choose the latter without hesitation.

The situation of the first two attacks also made Batet aware of some problems, so he simply exposed Seablue Star to the artillery fire of the Dusky Star commando without protection, just to see if Dusky Star will wreak havoc on the disaster planet , if Dusky Star still does not cause devastating damage in this case, then at least it will expose the enemy's intentions.

It doesn't matter if you guess wrong, there will be one less disaster planet, and the war bureau will also have less pressure.

Nagokin frowned. At this point, he couldn't influence Batet's decision, and said, "I have to notify Black Star first."

"No, I heard." Han Xiao's voice came from the communicator, without saying anything, he said slowly: "Leave the commando to me."

"... Try to hold on." Nagokin clenched his fists, turned off the communicator, let out a deep breath, and quickly came to the hatch passage.

At this time, his fleet accelerated to catch up with Nokap's Dusky Star command ship formation, and the warships of both sides crashed into each other's formation, firing continuously. The spaceship he was on was rapidly approaching a Dusky Star warship, and his battle was about to start, and Nagokin had no time to take care of Han Xiao's situation.
