"What! Can't get reinforcements for the time being? The imperial capital does not have any surplus troops at the moment? When Feng Kailong heard the news, he was so angry that he almost fainted.

"General, are you alright?" Seeing that Feng Kailong was about to faint, everyone hurriedly helped him to a chair and sat down.

Under the care of everyone, Feng Kailong finally regained his senses, he waved his hand to call his adjutant, and asked, "What did the General Headquarters say?" ”

The adjutant replied: "The reply from the General Headquarters is that at present, there is only one fleet of the Praetorian Guards in the imperial capital, which is the emperor's personal guard and cannot be used. ”

"What about the other fleets?" Feng Kailong asked puzzled.

"They were all sent out to suppress rebellions in various places, and there was originally the 9th Fleet as a backup, but when I heard that we had won the battle, the General Headquarters sent the 9th Fleet to other systems." The adjutant replied helplessly.

"These idiots!" Feng Kailong couldn't help but scold.

"General, what should we do now?" Others asked.

Feng Kailong closed his eyes and thought for a while, and then said slowly: "Continue to ask the General Headquarters for support, be sure to explain the current situation in detail, and ask the General Headquarters to immediately transfer fleet reinforcements." ”

"Okay, I'll go right away!" The adjutant agreed, and immediately went to contact the General Headquarters.

At this time, Feng Kailong continued: "How long will it take for the rebels' reinforcement fleet to arrive? ”

"At the current rate, it will arrive in about 50 hours." An officer replied.

"It's still too late to ......" Feng Kailong nodded and said, "Immediately order the fleet, withdraw to the Golden Lion Star Sky Domain, and start retreating now." ”

Everyone looked at each other, and they were all a little surprised by Feng Kailong's order. In the years that Feng Kailong led the 5th Fleet, there were very few cases of such voluntary retreat, especially in recent years, the 5th Fleet almost never retreated.

Feng Kailong's style has always been tenacious, and he is very good at defense, even if he can't be defeated, he rarely retreats, otherwise he would not have won the title of "Iron Wall".

This time, Feng Kailong took the initiative to choose to retreat, which shows that he feels deeply bad about the current situation, otherwise he would not have made such a decision.

"Why are you standing still?" Feng Kailong asked angrily when he saw that the officers did not immediately carry out the order.

"Yes! We'll be right away! The officers agreed, and quickly took their positions to convey the order to the fleet to retreat.

The order was given, and the 5th Fleet began to turn around and retreat in an orderly manner, heading in the direction of the Golden Lion.

The Golden Lion is the capital of the Leon King System and the most developed of the three colonized planets in the Leo King System. There are several space cities in the orbit of the Golden Lion, and these space cities have certain defense capabilities, and retreating here can rely on the space cities to form a more solid defense line.

The news of the rebel fleet's large-scale attack spread, and the Lion King system became chaotic again, and many civilian ships wanted to escape from here, but the airspace had been blocked by the 5th Fleet, and no one could leave.

While the 5th Fleet was busy arranging defenses, the rebel fleets were also rendezvous, and this time the rebels came to reinforce the fleet with almost the same number as the original fleet, which means that the current rebel fleet is equivalent to the size of two fleets.

Under this huge advantage, the 5th Fleet did not dare to face head-on even if it was good at fighting, and their only hope was to rely on the Golden Lion Star as a backing and try to defend until the arrival of reinforcements.

When the rebel fleet completed the rendezvous, it immediately sailed to the Golden Lion and pounced on the 5th Fleet with great vigour.

The rebel fleet surrounded the 5th Fleet and several space cities, preventing any ships from leaving the airspace, and the people of the 5th Fleet and the Golden Lion were speechless when they saw so many warships through various equipment.

"With so many rebel warships, how could we possibly win?"

"That's too much, isn't it, the rebels actually have so many warships?"

Seeing so many rebel fleets, many soldiers already felt the imminence of death in their hearts, and many began to secretly write suicide notes to send to their closest people.

The Golden Lion Star has become a mess, and a large number of people have flocked to the shuttle port, demanding to take them out of here. Many others flocked to the various shelters, almost filling them all with the capacity of not even a single mouse.

The streets are full of people grabbing goods, cars are blocking the roads, and cities are paralyzed.

Meng Kun, the chief of the Lion King Galaxy, asked his subordinates to keep asking for help from the imperial capital over and over again, but now the high-level of the imperial capital has no choice, even if the nearest fleet is transferred to support, it will take a few days later, and it is obviously too late in time.

In the end, the new emperor of the empire, Li Xinqi, personally ordered his Praetorian Guard fleet to be sent to the Lion King galaxy to support, which could arrive in a week at the earliest.

Feng Kailong, who received this news, didn't know whether to be happy or cry, and the emperor personally ordered the Praetorian Guard fleet to be sent, indicating that the emperor attached great importance to the 5th Fleet and Feng Kailong, but the problem was time, with the current strength of the 5th Fleet, it was really impossible to withstand it for a week.

"Resist no matter what! Even at any cost! Feng Kailong said to his subordinates.

When Feng Kailong said this, he noticed that everyone had a desperate look on their faces, although he could also lie and tell everyone that reinforcements would arrive soon, but he didn't want to lie to deceive people when he was dying, and these people were all experienced, so it was a question if they could deceive.

"Don't be discouraged, as long as you do your best, you believe that miracles will happen. We have our advantage, and the rebels may not be able to swallow us in one bite, and even if they do have such intentions, we must let them suffer enough! Feng Kailong encouraged.

"Yes!" Everyone replied in unison, but it was obviously not momentum enough.

Feng Kailong couldn't help it when he saw this, everyone understood people, and it was impossible to fool around casually.

Just then, the alarm sounded, and the rebel fleet began to attack.

"Everyone is ready to fight!" Feng Kailong said loudly.

The rebels' first attack did not press all of them, but they still sent only a part of the fleet, still according to the previous conservative tactics, cautiously approaching the 5th Fleet, and then kept a certain distance away and began to attack with particle cannons.

The 5th Fleet is no longer familiar with this method of warfare, and this is how the two sides have been coming over for the past two months.

The 5th Fleet did not play any tricks, and honestly faced the battle according to the routine, and the battle soon entered a fixed process.

A few hours later, the rebel fleet began to retreat, and the officers and men of the 5th Fleet breathed a sigh of relief, and it seemed that the rebels had no intention of swallowing the 5th Fleet in one gulp.

If you continue to grind like this, maybe you can really grind until the reinforcements arrive, and then you can get away with it. Many people in the 5th Fleet were thinking about luck, and at this time another part of the rebel fleet began to press up.

The 5th Fleet could only continue to fight, and the two sides went back to the previous mode, still cautiously firing particle cannons at each other, but neither could inflict a serious blow on the other.

"What the hell are they going to do!" Feng Kailong finally broke out, slapped the table and said angrily.

Feng Kailong thought that at this time, the rebels would definitely attack in a big way, and have a decisive battle with the 5th Fleet in one go, who knew that the other party was still in a posture of grinding foreign workers, as if he didn't care whether there would be reinforcements coming.

Seeing that Feng Kailong was furious, everyone didn't dare to go up to persuade him, because everyone really didn't know how to persuade Feng Kailong, and no one could figure out what the rebels were thinking.

Suddenly, a voice came from the corner: "I think the rebels are probably using us as a training target......

"What?" Feng Kailong was stunned when he heard this, and then looked around for the source of his voice.

"Who? Who said that? Feng Kailong asked loudly.

"Yes...... It's me. As he spoke, he saw a young soldier slowly come out of the corner and come to Feng Kailong timidly.

Feng Kailong looked at it, it turned out to be a young operator, and looking at the pattern on the epaulettes, he was just an ordinary non-commissioned officer.

"What did you just say? Repeat what you said! Feng Kailong said solemnly.

The young non-commissioned officer said in a trembling voice, "I...... I think...... They're training us...... Think of us as objects of training. ”

"Training?" Hearing this, Feng Kailong pondered for a moment, and suddenly understood everything, and his face suddenly became gloomy.

The non-commissioned officer saw that his face was gloomy, and he trembled with fright, and involuntarily took a few steps back.

"Hey...... He actually regarded us as training objects, so it was, haha......" Feng Kailong said to himself, and suddenly began to laugh.

Seeing that Feng Kailong was angry and laughing, everyone thought that he was mad, and hurriedly gathered around, for fear that he would make some abnormal moves.

"General, it doesn't matter to you, right?" The adjutant asked with concern.

"Haha...... We've been tricked...... Ha ha...... I was actually taken as a fool by the rebels in my life......" Feng Kailong shook his head and said something to himself that others couldn't understand.

Everyone had never seen Feng Kailong like this, and they all looked at him with worried eyes, and after a while, Feng Kailong gradually calmed down and looked up at everyone.

"You didn't expect that, did you? Why are the rebels fighting us like this, they are here to train! We became their sparring partners! Feng Kailong said bitterly.

Hearing this, everyone finally came to their senses, no wonder the rebels have been grinding like this, it turns out that their purpose is to use the 5th Fleet to train their own fleet, although there are some losses, but these losses are completely within the bearable range.

If you think about it carefully, after two months of fighting, the level of the rebel fleet has indeed improved a lot, although it is not completely comparable to the 5th fleet, but compared to the rebel fleet two months ago, the level has made a great leap.
