A series of sudden explosions in the fierce battle destroyed the three most important super battleships of the Central Fleet of the New Roman Imperial Army: "Constantine", "Alexander", and "Attila".

Each flagship exploded twice from inside the ship, violently tearing apart its sturdy alloy steel body.

Together with the commander-in-chief above, the commander of the detachment and their crews, all were eliminated with it, and the Imperial Marshal Frederiga? Lenny? Feng? Badenbrock, Admiral Adams? Ma Sun, Admiral Sergea? Bint? Mujshid? Root? Rahman, three chief officers and more than 600 crew members were all killed.

The destruction of the three commanders and the flagships was the last straw that crushed the fighting spirit of the Central Fleet of the New Roman Empire in the bloody battle, first the logistics supply fleet was annihilated, and now the three flagships inexplicably blew themselves up, the commander-in-chief and the commander of the detachment were killed at the same time, and panic and despair spread rapidly in the voice and data communication system.

The desire to escape suddenly overpowered the desire for victory, and some of the detachment flagships began to forcibly leave the battlefield without regard for their accomplices, leaving behind the interstellar marines who were desperately working in space.

From this point on, the Imperial warships that had been fighting hard changed course one after another, trying to escape from the opponent's entanglement, but they were dealt a devastating blow, and the Central Fleet, which had lost its fighting spirit, rapidly reduced its firepower intensity and accuracy, completely toppling the balance of power in the original close-range melee, and the battleships and cruisers were wiped out in batches, and many interstellar marines who had already boarded the enemy ships to carry out sabotage attacks immediately chose to surrender after learning that their fleet was beginning to retreat.

Faced with the reversal of the situation, the five-star Admiral Bloomberg lost no time in ordering the interstellar civilian radio communication system to be turned on and address the leaderless Imperial Army:

"Soldiers of New Rome, I'm Eric, a five-star general of the Bundeswehr? Feng? Bloomberg, you are a respectable opponent, but your commander-in-chief, Field Marshal Badenbrock, and other detachment commanders have been killed, and our Bundeswehr has already gained absolute superiority over you, and fighting again will only increase senseless casualties, so I suggest that you stop fighting and accept the command of the nearest Federation warship, the Immortal Interstellar Federation government and the people will regard you as compatriots who have defected to freedom, please stop the useless fighting! My compatriots! ”

The old general's old and powerful voice was full of sincerity, at this time, the last thing he wanted to fight was probably even him, a veteran who had completely grasped the initiative on the battlefield.

After all, persuasion played a great role, and many imperial warships that knew that they had no hope of escaping stopped shooting and sent a surrender signal, especially those interstellar marines who were basically abandoned, surrendered in formation, and the originally chaotic battlefield space gradually calmed down, and the intertwined dead light became sparse.

Due to the need to take over the warships and transfer the prisoners, most of the Federation warships approached the Imperial warships, making the originally scattered battlefield dense and orderly.

On the "Pangu" No. 1, Bloomberg said to his subordinates with satisfaction: "There is finally a good ending!" ”

Because even the battleships of the "Commander" class that confronted it head-to-head gave a signal of surrender.

"Spatial Fluctuation ......"

A scream suddenly rang out in the spacesuit's internal communication system.

"No, it's supposed to be a space storm!"

What can't be unpaid by timely corrections?

The space storm that emanated from a corner of the battlefield struck rapidly, ruthlessly rolling the warships, personnel, wreckage and debris of both sides into deep space, instantly clearing a huge passage in the battlefield space where friends and enemies were intertwined.

Immediately after that, a tight formation of more than 300 battleships and nearly 500 cruisers passed along this "clean" passage, and before the Wehrmacht and other Imperial forces that had not yet been involved in the space storm could react, these warships accelerated and dispersed, and flew out of this passage, and then fired the "Akuberi" engine again, jumped into the speed of light, and disappeared in the direction of the Perseus Interstellar Federation.

But they were not the battleships of the Perseus Star Bundeswehr, but the Senate and the Central Fleet under the Roman people. Marsh? The main force of the "Eastern" detachment, under the leadership of Vice Admiral Li Jingxian, commander of the detachment, unexpectedly launched a "space storm" and then escaped smoothly.

Due to the strength of the under-formed Mao fleet, it was placed in the center of the rear of the conical formation by Marshal Badenbrock before the decisive battle, so after entering the melee, the pressure of the enemy was also small, and Li Jingxian's control of the fleet was very good, so the Mao ship maintained a relatively tight and coordinated ship formation from beginning to end.

After the sacrifice of Ba Shuai and others, Li Jingxian immediately asked his colleagues to obey his command and tried to control the entire Central Fleet, but he had no choice but to be defeated at this time, except for his own detachment, not many people were willing to kill him, so he immediately made a decision, taking advantage of the surrender of friendly forces and the chaos on both sides, creatively using the "space storm" to escape.

This time, the "Space Storm" was very different from the method used by his colleague Jiang Ziyue, but it was quite similar to the method used by Robb, who had never confronted each other head-on, using battleships and cruisers in a mixed formation with a large distance of more than 10,000 kilometers to launch the "Akuberi" engine with maximum power, so that the scale of the space fluctuations caused by it was even larger, and the ships in a larger range were blown away.

Although the space storm launched by more than 800 warships also blew away many of the warships that were ready to surrender, the reason for accusing him of escaping on the corpses of his companions was not sufficient, because those Imperial warships that were carried away by the "space storm" were thus freed from the threat of the Bundeswehr, and most of them fled to the planet "Taiji" after regaining control.

However, Li Jingxian did not lead his troops to flee to the nearest imperial planet, "Taiji", but rushed to a planet with an extremely important strategic position, "Andromeda".

Because many Bundeswehr warships, including the flagship Pangu 1 and the chair ship of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Zhao Yun, were caught up in the "space storm", and the whole scene was quite chaotic, the Wehrmacht was not able to effectively organize a response to the "Mao? Marsh? The pursuit of the "east" detachment.

But fortunately, those federal fleets that were not involved in the "space storm", under the command of Vice Admiral Zhou Jiande, commander of the Eighth Fleet, successfully and quickly completed the handling and integration of the surrendered imperial army, and after more than half an hour, when Bloomberg and Du Qifeng led the ships back, Zhou Jiande had already organized a temporary formation of more than 1,000 battleships, ready to go to pursue the fleeing Mao fleet.

Due to the fact that the capital planet of the Federation is now empty of defense, and more than 800 enemy warships are heading straight away, coupled with the mysterious disappearance of the Imperial Cruiser fleet after the previous attack on the planet "Midgard", the fleet commanders of the Federation are still very anxious in the face of victory, so Bloomberg ordered Zhou Jiande to immediately lead his temporary formation to return to the capital planet "Andromeda" at full speed.

Due to the heavy damage suffered by the flagship of the Eighth Fleet, "Kuafu" 3, Zhou Jiande had to move to the "Famous General" class battleship "Zheng Chenggong", and then couldn't wait to lead his troops to set off, this general in the Bundeswehr who is very good at running has been fighting non-stop for tens of thousands of light years since January this year, from the distant interstellar planet "Yi", to the planet "Egis", and then to "Egir", and then back to "Andromeda", turning back to "Egis" halfway, and immediately after this decisive battle, he flew to "Andromeda", The jury is still out on how the war will turn out, but General Zhou Jiande has already earned the title of "Maxima".

After handing over the aftermath of the battle to General Du Qifeng, he returned to his room to rest for a while, and if everything went well, or as he estimated and judged, the fleeing enemy only made a gesture of fleeing to the planet "Andromeda", and then turned back to New Rome halfway, and the imperial cruiser fleet calling itself "Zheng He" had already returned to China due to the exhaustion of supplies, Then the most serious crisis of the Perseus Star Federation since the Battle of Machu Picchu in 2890 will be successfully resolved.

As a result of this battle, the Wehrmacht succeeded in destroying 1,433 battleships and nearly 2,000 cruisers of the Imperial Army, capturing 327 battleships and 755 cruisers. Feng? The Imperial Marshal of Badenbrock and the other two commanders of the detachment were killed, and the Wehrmacht's own losses were relatively small, with 1,278 battleships and 1,960 cruisers completely destroyed.

In terms of personnel, both sides suffered great losses, not counting the previous battle of guarding the space station, a total of more than 135,000 interstellar marines and more than 44,000 crew members were martyred, and the imperial army was even more miserable, the interstellar marines of the Central Fleet were completely annihilated, from the attack on the "Yellow River" No. 7 space station to the present, more than 60 percent of the 300,000 marines who came with the fleet were killed, and almost all of the rest were captured, while nearly 50,000 fleet personnel were killed and more than 10,000 were captured.

In fact, the losses of the Imperial Army were even greater so far, as the above figures do not include the nearly 2,000 logistical supply ships destroyed by the "Robo Task Force", and many of the Imperial warships that managed to escape were also lost due to injuries and energy that could not reach the planets or space stations in the territory of the New Roman Empire.

So, for General Bloomberg, this result was not perfect, but after all, he successfully achieved his expected campaign goal, routed the enemy, and thus defended the vital border military town, the planet "Aegis".

When the general fell asleep tiredly, he was woken up by a nervous report, and a slightly damaged Wehrmacht unmanned notification ship brought earth-shattering news.

Planet "Andromoda" fell.

Defend the border but lose the capital.

This is undoubtedly a big blow to the veteran Bloomberg.

"How is this possible!"

He could hardly believe his eyes in the face of the translated encrypted electronic documents, and then, he roared: "Gather all the battleships that can fight, and follow me back to Andromeda!" ”

However, Du Qifeng calmly made a decision to deal with it, and said: "General, killing back Andromeda now will only be hit hard by the enemy!" ”

"General Du, we have routed the main force of the enemy's Central Fleet, and they have no reserve forces to consolidate the results of the invasion, we must take advantage of their unstable foothold to deal a quick and heavy blow!"

Du Qifeng still insisted on his own opinion and continued to analyze: "General, it is likely that the enemy's 'Charlemagne' and ' Zheng He's detachment joined forces, taking advantage of the opportunity of our decisive battle with the main force of the enemy's Central Fleet, to capture Andromeda, and now the situation is quite critical, but not all of them are unfavorable to our army, as you said, after this Armageddon, the new Roman Empire has no reserve forces, even if they occupy the planet Andromeda now, they lack further support, they can be regarded as a lone army, and there is no report of invasion of the planet Egir, so I dare to conclude that the enemy should not capture Egir, and I suggest that you immediately lead all the battleships and cruisers with combat effectiveness to Egir, and I will send a notification ship, inform General Zhou Jiande to also change the destination and rush to Egil, after you converge, on the one hand, you can consolidate Egil's defenses, cut off the easiest connection between the enemy and the mainland, and on the other hand, you can liberate Andromeda! ”

"In this way, wouldn't the planet Andromeda be occupied by the enemy army for a long time, and wouldn't President Song Tingrong and the two billion citizens of the Federation be enslaved by the enemy!" Bloomberg is still in a hurry.

"Sir, this is not in a hurry, the more critical the situation, the more we need to calm down!" Du Qifeng persuaded bitterly: "If you and Zhou Jiande's temporary formation meet at the planet Egil, even if the enemy's fleeing fleet arrives at Andromeda to join the two fleets of 'Charlemagne' and 'Zheng He', we still have an advantage in terms of troops, and then the enemy will definitely retreat and take the initiative to abandon Andromeda, even if they are ready to fight hard, we have superior forces and the geographical advantage of local operations, and we are completely able to defeat them, if we rush to Andromeda now, we will only commit the taboo of dispersing our forces!" ”

Listening to his persuasion, Bloomberg hesitated slightly, finally agreed, nodded and said: "General Du, then do what you want, and at the same time send a notification ship to find the 'Robert Fleet', so that he can also rush back to the planet Egil!" ”

"I don't think it's necessary, with our current fleet strength, as long as we are concentrated, we have the strength to recapture Andromeda, so let Colonel Robb go and recapture the 'easy' planet!" Johnny To is full of confidence.

Bloomberg finally made up his mind and said, "Okay then! General Du, the planet Aegis and these captives are handed over to you! ”

"Yes, sir!"

The same battle report also reached the "Mao? Marsh? Vice Admiral Li Jingxian, commander of the East Squadron, discovered them from Jiang Ziyue's "Zheng He" fleet after a superluminal change, and transmitted the good news of the encirclement of the planet "Andromeda".

When the report was delivered, Lieutenant General Li Jingxian was eating in the restaurant of the "Lin Biao", and he couldn't help but show a complicated smile, and then said to his staff officers: "I thought of it, and this guy also thought of it, but I can't do what this guy did!" ”

As soon as he said this, his subordinates did not react immediately, and they all took care of eating, since the unpleasant incident of the "African-African" Star Field Battle in November last year: "Mao? Marsh? The "East" detachment began to avoid the name "Jiang Ziyue".

"Can't you just have some opinions?" Li Jingxian was clearly dissatisfied with his subordinates' behavior.

The officers remained silent for a long time before someone spoke:

"Chief Li, why bother, Jiang Ziyue is the commander of the 'Zheng He' fleet of the border fleet, and he was ordered to cooperate with our Central Fleet to fight, and obtaining this record is an obligation to complete, since he has successfully controlled the 'Andromeda' star field, his subordinates suggest that we immediately change our strategy and go directly to 'Andromoda' to join them!"

Offering Ngouwabi? Colonel Seko, the third man in the Mao fleet, the captain of the battleship "Lin Biao".

Li Jingxian stared at this subordinate of the same ethnicity as his wife and nodded approvingly.

"But what if Jiang Ziyue and the 'Zheng He' fleet refuse to accept the command of our Chief Li after the meeting?" Operational Staff Officer Estrada? Azwa's many proofreadings questioned it.

"Moreover, we have lost the logistics supply fleet, and with the current energy on the ships, I am afraid that it will be difficult to return to China after we get to the planet 'Andromeda'!"

Ngouwabi immediately retorted: "The problem of energy supply is not big, Jiang Ziyue's 'Zheng He' fleet is equipped with enough logistics supply ships, and we can also requisition civilian ships and the energy of the Federation on the road, as for the question of whether Jiang Ziyue accepts the command of Chief Li, once the division is united, in principle, he must accept the command of General Li, even if he is unwilling to accept it, he even resists by force......

"Colonel Jiang Ziyue is loyal and brave, how can he disobey the laws and regulations of the country!" Li Jing first interrupted Ngouwabi's words, and then said with satisfaction: "Seko, you inspired me, last time I led the army to retreat. Although we have maintained our strength, we have been burdened with dishonorable accusations, and this time, I think we can smoothly transfer in! ”

"Sir, I beg your pardon, you should have more than that!" Colonel Ngouwabi said with a sly smile on his face.

Li Jingxian said knowingly: "This time, we are going to do a big job!" ”

"Then give the order! Sir, we fly straight to the star 'Andromeda'! Ngouwabi pleaded excitedly.

"No!" Li Jingxian did not hesitate to reject his subordinates' request: "In this StarCraft era, our names will be closely associated with those bright stars, and the existing energy of our ships is enough for us to attack another important target before we reach 'Andromeda', a planet that is enough to make us famous!" ”

Li Jingxian became high-spirited, when the Central Fleet had not yet launched an attack on the "Aegis" star field, he planned to attack another Immortal Interstellar Federation planet that was more important in his eyes, and now, Jiang Ziyue controlled the "Andromeda" planet, and he got rid of the shackles of the large army, and the opportunity finally came.

"March to the planet Atlantis!"
