Before the words fell, in the battlefield situation map transmitted back by the airborne detector on the holographic projection, hundreds of thousands of points of light representing the pirate aircraft group suddenly burst into dazzling light, and then these lights dimmed one by one.

The group of 500,000 fighters was instantly confused by the sudden attack, and the originally tight formation was instantly chaotic.

The data on the holographic projection shows that the pirates lost more than a tenth of their fleet in this wave of attacks alone.

Pruk's eyes widened, as if he had been immobilized.

Kafra's two whiskers trembled, and his mung bean-like eyes blinked, revealing a hint of horror: "Pavilion...... Your Excellency, what shall we do?"

Directly firing a laser cannon from 5 million kilometers away to destroy an interstellar fighter is the firepower that only a meteorite-class warship can have! They really haven't heard of any third-level civilization with such firepower.

Could it be that the other party is a fourth-level civilization? If that's the case, then you'll be hit by an iron plate!

Pruk and Kafra looked at each other, and both saw the look of horror in each other's eyes.

Pruk took a deep breath and said, "No...... If you can't retreat, if you retreat, you will die, order the group to rush me, our number is ten times that of the enemy, and the enemy is in close combat, we still have a chance to win!"

"Yes!"

The adjutant quickly conveyed Pruk's words.

Pruk beckoned to Kafra again and whispered, "Notify the control room, the curvature engine is starting to warm up, and if there is an accident in the battle later, we will retreat immediately!"

Kafra nodded knowingly.

This Pur-class merchant ship is a fourth-class mid-level civilization merchant ship, and once it sails at maximum power, it can reach twenty times the speed of light.

At this speed, even a fourth-level beginner civilization warship may not be able to catch up.

This is also Prucker's biggest hole card in the chaotic star field, and every time he encounters a strong enemy that he can't resist, he can always escape with the help of this battleship.

Therefore, this Puluo-class merchant ship is also called the "Lucky Star" by him.

But. Will Lucky Star be as lucky as it has always been this time?

No one can guarantee it.

The tactical literacy of the interstellar pirates under Prucker is still good, although they have lost nearly one-tenth of their fighters, but the basic command system is still there, and after the officers destroyed nearly a thousand fighters that wanted to escape, the fleet quickly stabilized.

They continued to charge at the enemy hundreds of kilometers away, hoping to get into range of their fighters sooner rather than later.

And this time. The human coalition began preparations for the second wave of attacks.

In fact, the strike just now almost depleted the reserve energy of the human laser cannon, but the effect of the strike also exceeded the expectations of the human coalition forces.

You must know that they used to fight against opponents of similar strength in the second world, and they thought that the seemingly menacing enemy army would be so weak.

The front-line commander of the human alliance immediately revised the battle plan, and the starfighters began to slow down and recharge, preparing to launch a second wave of effective strikes against the enemy.

As a result, under the expectant eyes of Pruk and others, the fighters on both sides gradually shrank from the initial 500 kilometers to 200 kilometers, and then from 200 kilometers to 150 kilometers.

And the human fleet is slowly pushing back.

"Chase, chase me!"

Seeing that humanity did not send a second wave of blows, a flame of hope ignited in Pluck's eyes. Just when he was expecting the human swarm to enter the 1 million kilometer strike range of the pirate swarm, he suddenly found that the distance between the pirate swarm and the enemy was not close, but remained at a distance of 1.5 million kilometers.

As if remembering something, a hint of horror flashed in his eyes, and he opened his mouth and shouted, "Retreat! Order the group to retreat immediately!"

But it was too late, and the human coalition's fleet of starfighters soon launched a strike at the pirates with more powerful and farther laser weapons.

It was only once, and the blow was not as sudden as it had been. The enemy was well prepared, and the effect was not as brilliant as the first time. But even then, humanity destroyed nearly 20,000 enemy fighters.

Pruk's face changed a little better, and the enemy didn't seem to be as strong as he thought, so he ordered: "The first detachment of meteorite-class battleships and the third detachment of small planet-class battleships will immediately accelerate forward and cover the retreat of our fleet." ”

Soon, the skirmish became one-sided.

The pirate fighters began to desperately retreat backwards. The human fighter planes accelerated their pursuit.

In the middle, some pirate fighters turned around and launched a decisive charge against the human aircraft group, although they were finally destroyed by the human fighters one by one, but when some of the enemy fighters entered the range of 100 kilometers, they still caused certain losses to the human beings, effectively covering the retreat of their own fighter group.

Ultimately. By the time the Corsair group returned to the ship's fire support range, the number of fighters was only half of what it had been when it sorted.

A full 250,000 fighter jets disappeared into the stars. And humanity has lost less than a thousand fighters. Some of them were destroyed by the ship's guns when they strayed into the range of enemy gunfire during the pursuit.

Such a huge battle loss ratio made Planck's face pale, but compared to the initial panic, it was still much better.

Because he found that his own group of aircraft is still capable of destroying enemy fighters in close combat, but the enemy's fighters are more advanced, the laser cannon has a longer range, and the maneuverability is better, but there is no essential difference.

This discouraged him from retreating.

After all, he still had a ten-to-one ratio in terms of the number of warships, and retreating in such a disparity would also be a big blow to his prestige within the pirate group.

What's more, the technology of human civilization is obviously a notch higher than its own, and if it can win this war and capture some of the scientists of the human race, then the strength of the pirate group may further soar.

At the thought of that bright future, Pluck's blood couldn't help but boil.

"Attention all fighters, attention to all fighters, pay attention to maintaining formation, pay attention to maintaining formation! Withdraw to the defense zone of your own fleet, withdraw to the defense zone of your own fleet. ”

Within the human alliance, there was a cheer at this time, no one expected that the first battle between humans and alien civilizations would be fought so beautifully with such a huge difference in numbers.

For a moment, the confidence of all the members of the Human Alliance was boosted, and if at the beginning they thought that victory was just propaganda, then after this battle, they realized that the enemy did not seem to be as strong as they thought.

Humanity has enough strength to win this war. (To be continued......)
