The city of Atlantis in the sunset curls with smoke, and the bleak evening breeze blows away the smoke all over the city, but it can't blow away the devastation.

There were few active figures in the entire city, and the remaining Atlantean warriors were scattered on the ruins, unable to believe that a day before, this was still their familiar and happy home.

In the outer space of YM174, the forward fleet that had completed the raid mission and the returning assault ship converged, and with endless regret and loss, the forward fleet turned around step by step and turned around to evacuate the sad place of YM17.

The first battle after the formation of the fleet finally ended miserably in the terror of both sides.

Although the task force has also carried out a series of attacks on the Moro Star Domain before, the attacks are all neo-colonies with weak defenses, and the task force has not destroyed the city after occupying these planets, except for a large number of Atlantean prisoners.

This battle can be said to be the first time that mankind has attacked an important planet heavily defended by the Atlanteans since the outbreak of the conflict between the two sides, and it is also the first time that the Atlantean city has been destroyed.

The Atlanteans, who had been on the defensive in this battle, suffered heavy losses, the remaining fleet was completely wiped out, the city was almost in ruins in the artillery fire, the planetary defense field that had been bought at a huge price was completely destroyed, the ground combat force was almost completely wiped out, and the air combat force was greatly damaged.

Not only did the city suffer heavy losses, but the loss of population was even greater, and the double loss almost set YM174 back decades overnight, and in the future, Perian came back with the fleet, and it didn't take ten or eight years to restore YM174 to its original state.

The human side is no better.

The Republic's forward fleet was fully deployed in this battle. Forty-six warships were dispatched, with more than 25,000 officers and men, and more than 9,400 ground combat forces, including 1,157 mecha and 8,316 commandos.

Except for the two Warhawk-class warships left in the solar system, all the warships of the Republic that did not withdraw to the base star participated in this battle, although the losses of the warships in this battle were almost negligible, but when the ground forces withdrew from YM174, there were less than 700 mechs left in more than 1,000 mechs, and more than 4,000 commandos suffered casualties. Half of them died on the spot. The ground forces of the advancing fleet were half-fought and crippled.

It must be noted that the ground forces invested by the forward fleet do not seem to be many in terms of quantity, but the quality can be said to be almost unprecedented, which is comparable to the million-strong army before the human cosmic age, if this force is sent to the earth. Unifying the Earth is never a pipe dream.

And yet it is such an army. But under the resistance of the Atlanteans, nothing was accomplished. The high-ranking members of the advancing fleet led by Ye Fei finally had a comprehensive understanding of the combat effectiveness of the Atlantis Marine Force, but they paid the price of blood.

Ye Fei was unwilling to end this battle in such a humiliating way, but the fleet alone could not occupy YM174. The purpose of the operation could not be achieved at all, and the huge casualties of the ground troops were a reality that he could not avoid, and he still persisted, and the ground troops had to be completely annihilated.

After the war, the remnants of YM174 sent the battle report to the Moro fleet that was still flying to Huzhou Star in the shortest possible time, and Periande, who got the news, collapsed to the ground like a fish with a bone removed.

YM174 is his hometown, this battle has defeated all his dependence, and without decades of recuperation, it is impossible for the Moro Star Domain to save up the foundation needed for expansion.

Perian broke his head and couldn't figure out what method those lowly humans used to break through their lair.

The Central Star Field, which also received the news, was also shocked, and the news of the spread caused an uproar.

Although the Moro Star Domain is only the frontier star field of the Atlantis Star Country, YM174 is also the political and economic center of the Star Domain, which is converted into the administrative unit of the Republic, and is at least a prefecture-level city.

In the eyes of most Atlanteans, human beings are equivalent to newly civilized savages, and Atlantean officials, who originally did not pay much attention to earthlings, also had to begin to face up to this race that had just entered the cosmic age - in Atlantis's concept, the inner universe era of the planet is simply a petty play, and only by flying out of the galaxy and entering the vast universe can it be regarded as truly entering the cosmic era.

According to the algorithm of human beings, it has been more than a century since the earthlings entered the cosmic age, but if the algorithm of the Atlanteans is changed, the time for the earthlings to enter the cosmic age can only be counted from the time when the Russian army flew to Wolf 359 in 2203, and it has only been thirteen years.

For the Atlanteans, thirteen Earth years were just a short journey in life; Even for humans, thirteen years is a slightly longer period of time.

But a race that has entered the cosmic era for such a short time dares to challenge the great Atlantis Star Kingdom!

Breaking through the capital of a star field can no longer be regarded as a small fight in any case, even if it is a war with the Disc Clan that has lasted for thousands of years, not a few capital cities of the star field have been breached.

For a while, the call to teach mankind a lesson came and went, and the poor country hundreds of light-years away became famous throughout the Atlantis Star Country overnight, and even the tens of thousands of earthlings who were taken captive from Earth became famous.

After the fleet left YM174, Ye Fei's whole person fell into a rare low ebb, and it took two whole days to adjust his mood and reappear in front of everyone.

General Ye didn't seem to be any different from before, but those who were familiar with him vaguely felt that there seemed to be some indescribable changes in Ye Fei's body.

On August 27, 2216, the fleet headed by the God of War returned to Yunzhou Star, and the seriously wounded of each ship were immediately sent to the hospital that had just been built - the so-called seriously wounded are the soldiers who froze their heads in time on the battlefield, and the total number was just over 100.

Fortunately, the last thing that freeze wounds lack is time.

Although the expansion of the fleet headquarters has just begun, and it will take a long time to complete, but at the speed of the Atlantis battleship, it will not take long for the Moro fleet, whose whereabouts are currently under mystery, to reach the Yunzhou or Huzhou systems, so the repair and replenishment of the fleet will be carried out immediately in the form of rotation and space operations in the case of insufficient berths, so as to ensure that the fleet can recover its combat effectiveness in the shortest possible time.
