"Ryan, Joestar, your task now is to return to the fortress with the target device as quickly as possible. Our First Fleet will begin a full retreat in 1 hour and 30 minutes and abandon the present fortress. ”

"Yes, General." Despite the anger and helplessness in their hearts, neither Ryan nor Joestar had the slightest doubt about the current primary goal - that is, to return to the fleet with the important target device that the entire First Brigade had sacrificed in exchange.

"Let the forward fleet slowly retreat to the fortress defense circle, and rely on the fortress defense to gradually disengage the enemy from the entanglement." Nakach commanded.

When receiving Nakach's order, the forward fleet could be described as in an uproar.

"Captain! We fought to the death in front of this, and we will withdraw with an order in the back? What about those brothers who died? ”

"That's it, Captain! Such a retreat, even if it is a slow retreat, will definitely cause a lot of losses! Now that the battle is at its most intense, whichever side releases that strength first will suffer a big loss. ”

Nakach had expected the fleet to be suspicious and antagonistic about his retreat order, so he immediately connected to the fleet-wide radio as soon as the order was issued.

"Officers of the First Fleet, I am your commander Nakach. Perhaps you are puzzled by my order to retreat. But I want to inform you that in our rear, there is an enemy flagship-class aircraft carrier, and it carries a full fleet of mechs and warplanes. At the same time, they also joined up a part of the scattered mechs that rushed from our blockade line. The current scale is estimated to be in the number of several hundred machines. And all the warships and warplanes of our First Fleet have been thrown into the battle ahead. If the enemy in the rear at this time flanks our defensive line, the consequences will be unimaginable. ”

"The First Brigade of the Star Knights, fighting desperately with the enemy, dragging the opponent to the rear of our army, has not yet formed a flanking attack on us. But time is running out for us. In order to avoid further losses, I have to order the entire fleet to retreat, so please understand and support my order. Although there are objective factors for today's defeat, I am primarily responsible, so I will resign from my post as fleet commander after the war, but for now, I ask you to carry out your order immediately. ”

The officers and men of the First Fleet who were fighting on the front line were silent, they did not expect the situation to be so serious, and they thought that the attack of Forsyken at this time was nothing more than a routine assault on the defensive line, which had been experienced countless times since it was established. However, what people didn't expect was that today's attack was so ferocious, and there was an enemy who suddenly appeared in the rear.

"Execute the order, and the whole ship slowly retreats! The ships with more shields left will break off on their own to buy time for the brother troops! ”

All the ships of the First Fleet began to slowly retreat. However, in this battle-torn battlefield, who can easily withdraw from the battle of the two fleets, which has already fallen into the most tragic hand-to-hand strangulation battle? The first to retreat will inevitably suffer a heavy blow.

Although the front-line commander of the First Fleet has ordered to shrink the formation as much as possible, so that the ships with more of their shields will be broken, but this surplus is more, but it is relatively speaking. In such a large-scale ship encounter, even a battleship with full shields, once it is set on fire, it is only an instant matter of ashes.

Yet everyone knows that this is a necessary sacrifice. If it is flanked by the enemy, then the First Fleet may not suffer heavy losses, but the end of the total annihilation. Therefore, even if the ship was disconnected, there was no hesitation, and all of them consciously blocked the front, buying more time for their own ships to break away.

On the other side, Joestar and Ryan finally returned to the fleet's fortress. The two of them immediately handed over the device in their hands to the researchers in the fortress. Then he was immediately summoned by General Nakach to the command room to learn about the specific situation.

"So, the other party deliberately lured out the First Fleet, wanting to encircle and annihilate the only Star Knight Mecha Brigade of our First Fleet?"

"Our guess is this. Otherwise, we can't explain why the enemy's ships with secret devices, which have been well hidden, are suddenly exposed, and we really can't think of any other reason than to lure our first brigade to surround and annihilate them. Ryan reported the speculation of Gemati and Sendaya to Nakah.

"That's a lot of money. The mechs on the enemy's front line almost desperately broke through the blockade of our warships and fighters, which lured the first brigade of our army. Speaking of losses, the enemy's losses are probably not under our entire First Brigade......" Nakach said bitterly. "The Phosakens are really crazy, what is it that makes them so crazy to attack us humans."

"General! We have made contact with the remnants of the First Brigade, and they are now slowly retreating towards our fortress under the leadership of Temporary Captain Sendaya. ”

"Get the comm over now!" Nakach ordered. "Captain Sendaya, this is the First Fleet Operations Command, I'm Nakach, how are you doing now?"

Sendaya's tired voice came from the loudspeaker, "Command, I have finally made contact with you, have I already brought the target device back to the fleet from Captain Ryan of my First Brigade and the Knight Joestar?" ”

"Captain Sendaya, rest assured, the target device has arrived safely at the fortress."

"Great, Your Excellency, can our First Brigade retreat towards the fortress at once?" Sendaya immediately asked.

After all, the first task of the 1st Brigade has been completed, and the enemy's secret device has been captured and safely transported back to the fortress. It stands to reason that the first brigade at this time can get out of the entanglement with the enemy cluster and quickly return to the fortress, so that it can still retain a little bit of vitality.

However, at this time, Nakach hesitated.

The situation on the battlefield has been so unfavorable, although it has finally made contact with the first team, but this is not helpful to the fact that the first team is at a disadvantage in the entire galaxy, in fact, the current mecha involved in the first team is only 47 machines, maybe the collapse of the entire formation will be in the next moment.

However, if the First Fleet was allowed to return to the fortress, then the enemy warships that had been staying in the rear of the Imperial Army would be flanked towards the fortress, and the retreat of the First Fleet would be a complete failure. Although it is impossible for a flagship-class battleship of the opponent to stop the First Fleet for a long time, you must know that the front line is only relying on the sacrifice of some ships at this time, and it is barely out of the situation of close hand-to-hand combat with the Foseken fleet, as long as the First Fleet is slightly blocked by the enemy's flagship in the rear, then it will fall into a entanglement with the enemy. If the First Fleet, which has lost a lot of ships once again, is once in the quagmire again, it will be almost impossible to retreat again.

Nakach took off his military hat, "Captain Sendaya, I'm sorry, the incompetence of the command has led to the current situation, you can't retreat to the fortress, I need you ......"

Although as a general, it is normal to abandon the car to protect the commander, but the Star Knight Brigade is a valuable combat resource of the Empire, and the fact that the First Brigade will fall into such a situation can be said to be completely caused by the misjudgment of the situation and wrong command by the command. However, now, after fierce fighting, the 1st Brigade has completed the almost impossible task of recapturing the enemy's secret device and bringing it back to the fortress. But the situation on the battlefield forced Nakach to make a ruthless decision.

"I need you, reverse charge, drag the enemy's flagship-class battleship, drag the other party as much as possible, and ensure that most of my First Fleet can withdraw from the battlefield."

Joestar and Ryan were originally happy to look at Sendaya, who was still alive, but the order that came out of Nakach's mouth at this time made the two of them fall into an ice cave.

"Is that so, General? The fleet needs our Star Knights Brigade to hold back the enemy......" Sendaya smiled. "General, please grant me a request as the temporary captain of the First Brigade. Keeping the number of the First Brigade, Ryan and Joestar are the sparks I chose for the First Brigade. It's all up to you. I'll lead the knights and teach these bitches some lessons! ”

Nakach looked at Sendaya's smile, but couldn't help but close his eyes, "Your Excellency Sendaya Knight." Sorry ......"

Sendaya stopped Nakach from continuing, "Time is pressing, General, the First Brigade will complete our final mission." Please take the First Fleet and retreat with peace of mind, and leave your back to us! ”

"Star Knights! I, Sendaya, as the temporary captain of the 1st Brigade, ordered, to advance towards the enemy's flagship! ”

"Yes! Star Knight, forward! ”
