Chapter 408: Strategic Retreat
An hour later, a series of alien warships with tentacles flying on their bodies appeared not far from the multinational combined fleet with gray whirlpools.
Li Mingze's pupils shrank when he saw the way the alien fleet appeared, and this way of sailing faster than light seemed familiar.
If he's not mistaken, these alien warships should have evolved organs capable of activating wormholes!
This is a big discovery, and when these battles are over, it will be necessary to study the organs on the aliens that allow them to navigate hyperspace.
With these organs, the Empire's Xenomorph warships will be free to sail through hyperspace, rather than relying on the Empire's wormhole high-speed passages.
Similarly, Tiger Shark-class warships can replace Empire-made hyperspace engines with this organ.
At that time, the manufacturing efficiency of Imperial warships will be greatly improved.
"All ships are ready, wait for the enemy to come into range and open fire with all their might!" The commanders of various countries gave orders to their fleets.
One after another, torpedoes and missiles rushed towards the alien fleet lined up in a line in the distance.
At this time, due to the limitation of range, the alien fleet, which could not fire at all, could only rely on the huge number to offset the ballistic weapons launched by the multinational joint defense fleet.
Bursts of violent explosions flashed in the alien fleet, and the shattered wreckage of the alien warship flew all over the sky.
The body surface of the wreckage that had lost its vitality began to stiffen and blacken, and at this time, the passing alien battleship suddenly stretched out its tentacles and rolled the wreckage into its mouth.
For these aliens, every trace of nutrients cannot be wasted, and the tissues that make up their bodies contain a lot of energy, so instead of letting them drift in space, it is better to let them contribute their last strength to the alien fleet!
"The war is not optimistic, and I think we need to retreat to the next star system, where the Republic of Andorra is building a temporary defensive line." The president of the Tucson United States stood beside Li Mingze and suggested to Li Mingze.
"Before the alien fleet comes into range, we'll retreat to the next system."
"We must make good use of every range advantage to weaken the alien fleet as much as possible."
Li Mingze's expression was extremely serious when he spoke. But no one knew that at this moment, his heart was blooming, and this newborn alien mother was doing a very beautiful job.
With the powerful alien fleet approaching step by step, the resistance of many countries to the establishment of the Interstellar Federation has been significantly reduced. It is only two steps away from establishing an interstellar federation according to Li Mingze's idea. These two steps will be completed with the help of the hands of the alien fleet!
The alien fleet, which had been battered by the rain of missiles from the United Defense Fleet, had finally moved a long way forward, and this time it was only a short distance away from the range of the acid shells.
However, at this time, the joint defense fleet did not rush to withdraw, but took advantage of this precious opportunity to launch another salvo aimed at the alien fleet.
The battlefield was instantly shrouded in pillars of light of various colors and shell tail flames, and the alien fleet that was fired at the salvo suffered heavy losses in an instant, and a large number of alien warships were blown into "stumps" flying in the sky.
Obviously, because this alien matrix has no tactical foundation, it doesn't know the importance of the formation at all, which has led to such a big loss of the alien fleet this time!
The one-line battle formation was already inferior in its own range, and it was also covered by enemy firepower, which was completely an act of seeking death, and it was simply a meritorious service to the officers and men of the combined fleet.
However, relying on the huge numerical superiority, the alien fleet is still about to reach the range of their weapons after losing hundreds of thousands of warships.
However, the Combined Defense Fleet did not engage in the same fires as the Alien Parent had hoped. These damned fleets actually retreated!
As if a fist was thrown into the air, the alien mother was so suffocated that she almost vomited blood.
After drawing an arc through space, the multinational joint defense fleet turned around and quickly withdrew behind it. The alien fleet followed.
"It's out of the planetary gravity well! Start entering hyperspace! "With the shouts of the soldiers on the bridge, the battleships disappeared into the universe....
Seeing that the United Defense Fleet had all disappeared into the starry sky, the Xenomorph Matrix roared twice in anger and turned its gaze to the deep blue planet not far away.
The life energy emanating from the planet seems to be a constant reminder to these aliens: there is delicious food here, you should hurry up.
However, at this time, the head of the alien matrix had already turned a corner, and it suddenly understood the meaning of the multinational joint defense fleet doing this.
Isn't it nothing more than constantly building a defensive line and using the range advantage of weapons to constantly weaken its fleet! It doesn't follow the enemy's train of thought!
The Alien Matrix ordered 10,000 warships carrying alien troops to stay, destroy all creatures on the planet not far away, and wait for the return of the Grand Fleet.
And it leads the remaining three million troops to continue the pursuit of the multinational combined fleet!
As a gray energy mist appeared, many alien warships also disappeared into the starry sky.
The 10,000 alien warships left behind began to turn around and fall towards the deep blue planet not far away.
The people of these planets will not know what terrible things they are going to experience at all.
Just like the current multinational combined fleet, they had no idea that the alien fleet did not stop to repair and eat as they expected, but continued to follow them closely!
Two days later, the multinational combined fleet returned to normal space from hyperspace.
In the orbit of an earth-like colony not far away, countless transport ships and construction ships are busy nervously.
The general shape of the fortresses has appeared, and the weapon modules on the fortresses have been installed in place, and now we are waiting for the energy reactor to be installed and turned on.
The crews of the combined fleets of various countries, who thought they were out of danger, slowly relaxed, and the intensity of the battle during this period consumed too much of their energy, and these crews felt that their bodies had become exhausted.
All the heads of state had returned to their lounges, but Li Mingze did not rest like these heads of state.
Because the large gravity reaction scanning device in the New Human Federation has just sent him the latest information.
Instead of staying in the previous star system as they had envisioned, the alien fleet pursued the defense line of their joint guard fleet.
"Things are getting interesting." The corners of Li Mingze's mouth showed a smile of unknown meaning, this kind of thing beyond his expectations is interesting, isn't it?
