"Keep rushing! Rush me out at all costs! At this time, Feng Kailong's eyes were already red.

The two fleets were so close that the casualties were enormous, and with each side using all their weapons, the battle had turned into a giant meat grinder, harvesting a lot of lives every minute.

"Send the mechs out! All that can be done must be used! Feng Kailong ordered.

The mecha troops who received the order began to act, and the pilots entered the mecha one after another, and flew out of the battleship one after another under the command of the guide.

At such a distance, the particle cannons were no longer usable, and the warships of both sides began to use missiles and naval guns to fire at each other, and the dense firepower was like a large net, enveloping all the units in the combat area.

A large number of mechs flew out of the battleship one after another, braving the dense artillery fire and rushing towards the opposing battleship, and soon hundreds of mechs were entangled together and launched a fierce fight.

Space is the real battlefield of mechas, and the performance of mechas on land will be greatly limited due to gravity. But once in space, these hulking steel giants become free-flying warriors with a variety of abilities that can be used to near their limits.

A 5th Fleet mech dodged the rain of artillery fire and finally approached the rebel battleship, but a rebel mech quickly caught up, and the two mechs immediately became entangled.

I saw the two mechs flying up and down, making all kinds of extremely flexible movements, as if two butterflies were dancing. In the midst of the dazzling flight, the mecha pilot also has to seize every opportunity to shoot at the opponent, which can be imagined as difficult to operate.

What's more, at this time, there are artillery fire and missiles from warships on both sides everywhere, and there is a danger of being hit if you are not careful. Once a mech is hit in space, the pilot's chance of survival is very low, and it is not at the same level as on the ground.

Just when the two mechs were fighting inextricably, a small battleship suddenly rushed over, separating the two mechs at once.

By the time the small ship had passed, the 5th Fleet mech had disappeared, and the rebel mech pilot had no target.

"Doodoo ......"

Just as the rebel mech pilot was still looking for a target, the mecha's alarm suddenly sounded, and a laser beam shot from behind the mech, blowing up the engine behind the mecha.

The violent explosion immediately threw the mecha out, and in the blink of an eye, it disappeared into the vast space.

After destroying the enemy mech, the 5th Fleet mech turned around and continued to fly towards the rebel warship not far away......

The fierce battle is still continuing, and when it comes to this white-hot, short-handed stage, tactics and whatnots are no longer important, and now the competition is fighting spirit, and whoever has stronger willpower will be able to gain the upper hand.

At this time, it was obvious that the 5th Fleet, which was desperately breaking through, had a stronger will, because they had only this way to go, and they would not be able to escape without tearing a hole in the rebel formation.

With a strong will to survive, the 5th Fleet is like a red-eyed maniac, and all kinds of ships are desperate to move forward, even if they die with each other.

The rebels were obviously ill-prepared for the breakout of the 5th Fleet, and the 5th Fleet's will was so resolute that many of the rebel warships began to be afraid.

In the face of the 5th Fleet's desperate breakthrough, some of the rebel warships responsible for frontal interception began to retreat, while others quietly distanced themselves to avoid dying with the other side.

Finally, there were fewer and fewer enemy warships blocking the front of the 5th Fleet, and the encirclement was torn open.

The gap in the encirclement is getting bigger and bigger, and quite a few warships of the 5th Fleet have already broken out of the encirclement and rushed in the predetermined direction.

However, the cost of opening this gap was also very high, almost a third of the ships of the 5th Fleet were lost, and due to the relatively long length of the line, many ships were still under siege at this time.

Feng Kailong looked at the image on the screen, and let out a sigh in his heart, the ship dragging behind was destined to be unable to escape the fate of being destroyed, and now he must be ruthless and continue to move forward!

"Pass my order, and the fleet begins to accelerate, ready to cut into the orbit of the satellite." Feng Kailong's words could no longer hear a trace of emotional fluctuations, as cold as frost.

At this time, although most of the ships of the 5th Fleet had broken out of the encirclement, there were still many rebel ships chasing and killing behind them, and the ships that fell behind were constantly sunk, and the brutal battle continued.

After the 5th Fleet cut into orbit, it was pulled by gravity and began to fly around the first satellite of the Golden Lion.

When the fleet finally arrived at the predetermined position after making a circle, Feng Kailong immediately ordered the entire fleet to start accelerating, preparing to fly out of orbit towards the edge of the galaxy.

In the process of accelerating around the satellites of the 5th Fleet, many warships were destroyed, and the number of the entire fleet has become smaller and smaller.

After the acceleration of the gravitational slingshot, the speed of the 5th Fleet has increased considerably, and this speed is constantly increasing.

By this time, the 5th Fleet had gradually distanced itself from the pursuing rebel fleet, and if the rebels wanted to catch up with them, they would have to use the gravitational slingshot effect like them, but the rebels were obviously not prepared for this.

The 5th Fleet slowly disappeared into the darkness of space, and the pursuing rebel fleet had to watch them go farther and farther.

"General, we've got rid of our pursuers, and we'll be out of the Leon King system in about 50 hours." The adjutant said to Feng Kailong.

Feng Kailong was silent for a while, and then said in a hoarse voice: "Order, count the casualties, and tell me as soon as the statistics come out." In addition, he ordered people to continue to contact the Praetorian Guard fleet, and he must tell them as soon as possible, so that they must not engage the rebel fleet and turn back immediately. ”

"Okay, General." The adjutant replied.

"I'm going to take a break now, and you'll be in charge of the rest." Before Feng Kailong's words were finished, the people had already begun to walk towards the place where they left the bridge.

Seeing Feng Kailong's figure leave the bridge, the adjutant's mood became heavy again, although this time the breakthrough was successful, but the 5th Fleet will have to face the military's accountability next, that is the real test, even if you don't die, you have to lose a few layers of skin......

"What? The 5th fleet ran away? ”

When Meng Kun, the chief commander of the Lion King Galaxy, heard that the 5th Fleet had broken through, the whole person froze and didn't move for almost a minute.

"Chief Adult, Chief Elder ......" The person who reported the news called Meng Kun and stretched out his hand to Meng Kun's eyes and shook it.

Meng Kun angrily slapped the other party's hand away and said angrily: "What are you doing!" Is it time for jokes? ”

"Yes...... I think the chief grown-up is a little ...... Some distractions...... So ......"

"That's it! Don't talk this! Meng Kun waved his hand and said impatiently: "You tell me the details." ”

The person who reported the news gave a general account of the breakthrough of the 5th Fleet, and the more Meng Kun listened, the more angry he became, and finally couldn't help but slap the table and say, "Bastard! Feng Kailong, this old bastard! Obviously, the reinforcements have already arrived, but he actually fled! I have to go to the imperial capital to sue him!" ”

Meng Kun was so angry that he paced back and forth in the room while scolding, and the person who reported the news didn't dare to speak, so he had to stand aside and wait for him to calm down.

"I ask you, what about our fleet in the Lion King system?" Meng Kun asked as he paced.

"Our fleet has also run away with the 5th Fleet."

"What a pack of white-eyed wolves! At this moment of crisis, he actually ran away with Feng Kailong? What a way to feed them for nothing! ”

"My lord, what are we going to do?"

"What should I do?" Meng Kun stopped and thought about it, and then said, "You go and inform everyone, I will hold an emergency meeting immediately, go quickly!" ”

Not long after, all kinds of officials from the Governor's Mansion arrived at the conference room, and Meng Kun was the last to walk in, only to see that the conference room that should have been full was only less than half of the people.

"Alas......" Meng Kun sighed secretly, and said in his heart: "After a long time, you can see people's hearts, and only when it is critical can you see who is really reliable......"

"Sit down, everybody." Meng Kun sat down first, and then said to the others.

After everyone sat down, Meng Kun continued: "Presumably everyone already knows the current situation, right? ”

Everyone nodded silently, and the atmosphere in the conference room was extremely heavy, as if the air was about to freeze.

"The 5th Fleet has left, and the reinforcements sent by His Majesty the Emperor don't know when they will arrive, in short, the current situation is very critical, let's talk about it, what should we do now?" Meng Kun said slowly.

After waiting for a long time, no one spoke, in fact, everyone knew very well in their hearts that now they had no other choice but to surrender.

However, no one wants to say such a thing as surrender first, after all, this is not a glorious thing, and even if you survive in the future, you will always have to bear this stigma.

Meng Kun looked at everyone's faces, and as soon as everyone met Meng Kun's gaze, they immediately lowered their heads, so angry that Meng Kun scolded his mother in his heart.

"Well, since everyone is reluctant to speak, then let me say it." Meng Kun said helplessly: "Now, as officials of the empire, I am afraid that we have no other choice but to die in the line of duty. I've got the medicine ready for everyone......"

"Wait, sir...... I have something to say. Someone suddenly interrupted Meng Kun.

Everyone followed the voice and saw that it was He Zhengyu, the governor of the Golden Lion Star, who spoke.

"What does Governor Ho have to say?" Meng Kun asked.

He Zhengyu wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "Actually, we have other choices, such as ...... For example......"

"Like what?" Meng Kun's face sank and asked sharply.

"For example...... We can...... Can and ...... Negotiate with the Free Confederate Army. He Zhengyu said hesitantly.

"How can this be?" Meng Kun said with a displeased face: "They are rebels, we are dignified imperial officials, how can we negotiate with them?" ”

He Zhengyu looked at Meng Kun's righteous face, and scolded in his heart: "What are you pretending to be at this time, after working together for so many years, I still don't know you?" ”
