The air raid on Anduin was so successful that the Burrenhill battle group destroyed the orbital fleet and the command center of the Anduin military in one fell swoop, and also bombed the only spaceport.

The only surprise was the sudden appearance of the battleship Titania, which, after merging with Mandolfil and a small number of remaining Anduin/Trade Alliance fighters, escaped directly through the atmosphere and into deep space without relying on the magnetic accelerator of the spaceport.

Instead of immediately pursuing, the Burrenhill sent a planetary landing ship to the ground. This is a transport ship with powerful engines that can return to planetary orbit with pursuers and underfueled carrier-based aircraft. Captain Ishtar and her commandos also found a number of mobile equipment accessories in the Governor's Palace, and they all moved back to the battleship.

If it weren't for the escaped Titania starship, the Bayeran fleet would have been able to scavenge for supplies on a planet that had lost its defenses.

During the entire air raid, the Bayeran fleet was shot down by nine carrier-based aircraft, and six crew members were killed or missing. The previous skilled and tactical Second Lieutenant Robin survived and was evacuated under the cover of the Marines.

Xiao Yan stumbled back to the Burrenhill in the pursuer. His pursuer had lost an arm, which was not too difficult to repair, given that the Burrenhill had enough accessories on board.

The moment he jumped out of the pursuer's cockpit, he felt like all his strength had been drained. Some strange feeling he had gained in the Desert Racing Race had estrangely vanished, leaving him dazed, but unable to tell what he had lost.

……

Vice Captain Faphnir summarized the situation of the Titania based on the previous battle, and reported to everyone one by one by synthesizing some of the information collected by Xiao Yan: "The battleship Titania forcibly breaking through the atmosphere will cause a great burden on the engine, and the engineers believe that its speed will be reduced in the future, and this battle group will pursue it immediately after simple repairs, and can catch up with it before the other fleets of the Trade Alliance can support it."

"The lower deck of the Bronshire was damaged, the speed was attenuated by 10%, and the rest of the main functions were not affected."

"We have captured some of the trade alliance's technical advisers and commissioners, and according to their confessions, the giant ship has no carrier-based aircraft crew, although it has strong firepower. I think that even if the remnants of Anduin's defeated army are still limited in number, coordination with each other will be a big problem," Captain Ishtar said, pointing to Titania on the screen, "Judging by the combat performance, the Mandolfil who fought against the Griffith Knights, like this ship, did not function perfectly. Now is their weak period, and we should take them out before they have time to join up with the rest of the Trade Alliance's fleets. ”

Captain Mujel listened quietly as everyone finished their opinions: "According to the information from the High Command, a much larger Trade Alliance fleet is on its way to Bayeran, including 2 battleships, 1 battle cruiser, 3 escort carriers, and 11 frigates. ”

Everyone present gasped when they heard this. This fleet is powerful enough to burn the planet to the ground of glass slag when it merges with the fleet above Beyeland's orbit, and at that point, even if the Republic Senate of Kloha sends a space fleet to intervene, it will be too late to save Beyeland from destruction.

"Let's hurry back to the Aziyakin Cosmic Fortress!"

"Yes, meet the main fleet there!"

There was a slight commotion among the officers present, and the captains of the Harrow and Oscar, who were also present at the meeting, were also frowning, obviously worried about such a strong enemy.

"So~" Captain Violet turned his head to look at Sonya, "Miss Ramour, if the Council can't stop the arrival of this fleet in time, the Brenhill and the ships belonging to the formation will have to return to the Bayeran system in the near future, where they will meet the Duchy fleet. If needed, I can now send a ship to escort you to Croha. ”

"It takes a lot of time for the parliament to make proposals and votes, and the most important thing for Bayeran right now is time. Once the other forces knew that Bayeran was a firm force worthy of assistance, the Senate struggle would be much easier; If we're vulnerable, well, then I'll have to go back to Kloha and try my luck with Lord Hastin," Sonia shook her head slightly, "Captain, what you can't get on the battlefield can't get in the council either." If the Bayeran fleet can deliver a powerful blow to the Trade Alliance in a short period of time, I will have even stronger arguments to convince the indecisive members of the Senate. ”

The officers present looked sideways and looked at the senator and their captain without saying a word.

Xiao Yan has been in a state of confusion since returning to Burrenshire, always feeling that he has lost something particularly important, so that he has not reacted to the conversation between Sonia and the captain in time.

"Captain Mijel, can we catch up with this new battleship, the Titania?" Sonia looked directly at the blonde captain with pretty eyes, "I think that's a good argument, and I hope I'll be able to take it with me when I return to Kloha in the near future." ”

"Yes, Your Excellency Senator, Brenhill, Herlo, and Oscar are all high-speed warships that can sail at speeds of up to 30 star knots (star range/hour); Although the ship has been damaged, it can still run at a speed of 28 star knots after simple repairs," the captain paused slightly after answering the question, obviously thinking about the meaning of Sonya's question, "It is difficult for ordinary frigates and battleships to exceed 25 star range, if all goes well, we can spend a few days pursuing Titania and then turn back to participate in the decisive battle." ”

Tsk, you guys are so fierce! It turned out to be trying to take out a battleship. Well...... It's good to take the opportunity to weaken the opponent. Xiao Yan's brain circuitry recovered a little.

"Your Excellency, Captain, I need to warn you of the battle with Mandolfil on the surface of the planet," Xiao Yan found that the captain was not opposed to the pursuit, so he said according to his feelings, "The power of the mobile suit and the N-neutron interference is obvious to all, and Titania is also an extremely powerful warship, as long as there is a glimmer of possibility, we should try to prevent them from joining the middle of the battle line of the Trade Alliance." ”

Almost all the officers present nodded slightly, and even the blonde captain did not refute. The attack that pierced the ship's shield and armor from the planet's surface was staggering, and if there was no planetary gravity and atmospheric interference in a space battle, the blow would likely have hit Brenhill hard.

"It seems that there is no objection from everyone," said Captain Mugel, with a shallow smile on his beautiful face, "then, let's pursue it!" ”
