Chapter 149

The Favinier fleet slowly but resolutely shelled the Reinhardt fleet in a diagonal array, bleeding Reinhardt without stopping, forcing the camp and Mecklinger fleets on the left and right flanks to use the fleet to fill the hole in the central Reinhardt fleet after it was routed.

The Vulture fortress on the outside was still circling counterclockwise, preparing to reach the right flank of Fafnir's fleet, and the Rochenthal and Ruz fleets could not allow the Vulture City to march to the flank so easily to complete the flank of the entire Central Fleet led by Reinhardt. To this end, they tried to withstand part of the fire of the Flank Dragon Stead fleet, while constantly approaching and retreating to interfere with the movement of the Vulture City - but all in vain, the effective range of the Vulture City's main guns kept approaching the effective range of the Flank Dragon Stead fleet, and when the two ranges came into contact, that is, the end of the Rochenthal and Luz fleets, they had to rotate in advance to go around the outside of the Vulture City to avoid the irreversible Flank of the Vulture City and the Dragon Stead fleet in a few hours. It's just that this will have to carry out a fleet movement for more than ten hours, and during this time, they will not play much role in the main battlefield.

The situation of the Central Fleet deteriorated further, and the fleets of Reinhardt, Kemp, Mecklinger, and Bidenfeldt were concentrated in numbers similar to those of the Fafnnier, Rundstede, and Young fleets. Under the erroneous tactical guidance of Reinhardt, the fleet directly under him lost a large number of warships in vain, and the enemy losses caused at the same time were not large, and the forced assault of the Bidian Felter fleet that was hastily carried out later was only a rejection of the Dalk fleet that Fafnier also used to maneuver to delay time, although it caused a lot of losses to the Fafnier fleet and almost completely destroyed the Dalk fleet, but the Bidian Feldt fleet also became a fleet unit on paper.

While filling the vacancy in the center, the camp and Mecklinger fleets were also constantly concentrating on the Yang fleet with a prominent left flank, but under the numerical disadvantage and the main forces of the Fafnir and Rondested fleets on the center and right flanks successively joined in the shelling, they were also driven out of the hollows in the columns.

The battle had started at 10:42 a.m. Standard Time, and it was already 20:24 p.m. Standard Time, and the battle had been going on for almost 10 hours, and the soldiers on both sides were exhausted. However, due to the defensive strategy of the Reinhardt fleet that repeatedly carried out left and right pulls, the physical exertion of the soldiers was more serious. At 21:45 p.m., the city of condors moved into position and began to approach the Mecklinger fleet, to which Reinhardt's fleet belonged, and was expected to be within range of its main guns in about 2 hours.

"The battle was lost and it was time to retreat. This was the unanimous opinion of the admirals who participated in the campaign. Reinhardt von Rojenkram also had to understand that he had no chance of victory.

The blonde lion's actions after admitting defeat were also quite decisive, directly ordering the Central Fleet to retreat at high speed, and the left and right flanks also quickly withdrew after attacking with all their might, trying to distance themselves and disengage.

"This little guy is retreating very quickly! If you wait, Lao Tzu's lightning strike boat can strike again......... Forget it, there is no need for us to force it over, after all, the Persian cat and Luz on the other side have also retreated. If we rush over, we'll be bombarded from both sides. Fafnir gave the order to retreat.

At the end, a thick pillar of light streaked across the battlefield of fierce battles between the two sides, but no losses were caused and the battle of Marindorff was announced. Both sides withdrew from the battlefield, Reinhardt and his men went straight to Odin, and the Fafnir fleet also left the Marindorff system and flew towards the Chihoissa system after a rescue.

The battle of Marinddorf was over, the fleet directly under Reinhardt himself lost more than 60% of its troops, the camp and Mecklinger on the left and right flanks also lost 30% of their men, and the guerrilla Lutz and Rochenthal also lost a total of 3,000 ships, but fortunately, Bidianfeldt was found by the search and rescue team, and he was slightly wounded and the communication equipment of the flagship Wang Hu was also destroyed, and the entire black lancer fleet lost more than 7,000 ships. The entire Reinhardt army lost as many as 27,000 ships and more than 1.9 million casualties.

The losses of Fafnier's fleet were much smaller, except for Dalk himself, who was dragged back for rescue, only about 200 of his 6,000 high-speed destroyers remained, Fafnier's own army lost more than 3,000 warships, Young's fleet lost 3,000 ships, and the Longestted fleet suffered minor losses. The entire Fafnir army, which participated in the battle, lost 13,000 ships and suffered 950,000 casualties.

After the battle, Reinhardt was devastated, and although he still ruled the main galaxies and arsenals of the Empire, including the imperial capital Odin, he suffered a huge loss of mobile striking power. It will not be able to suppress the outer galaxies controlled by the aristocracy for at least a few years. Meanwhile, after returning to Odin, he gets the news that his friend Gilfias is going to marry his sister. Kim unexpectedly erupts and gets into a fire with his sister and friends......... Obviously, Reinhardt's subordinates were divided into two parts: the plebeian faction led by Gilfias and Midamaiah, Murat, and the other commanders, although they all obeyed Reinhardt's orders, but among them there were Rochenthal's ambitionists......... The relationship is intricate. On the occasion of the New Year of the year 489 of the Imperial Calendar, the Young Emperor Yushev announced his abdication at the New Sanssouci Palace............ And the blonde lion ascended to the throne. War broke out again.

At this time, there was also a problem on Favnier's side, "Hmm, Stauffen, this guy defected?" was Fafnier's question after receiving the report from Schutkhowen. Count Bartholomew von Stuffen was ordered by Fafnnier to attack the system ruled by Reinhardt before the Battle of Marindorff, and he continued to do so after the battle. Count Stephen had not shown any strange feelings in the previous forty years of his life, but at the very moment when Reinhardt ascended the throne, he occupied several galaxies and declared his independence, maintaining the declaration of the old emperor, and at the same time breaking away from the Lipsiutat Covenant, which Fafnir had not yet broken.

Stephen's detachment took with him the 30,000 ships of the Fafnier fleet, and the old Imperial League of Nobles was revived, and some of the middle and lower nobles strangely announced the same choice as Count Stephen. And these nobles were surprisingly talented—much better than the dead Duke of Blanche and the Marquis of Lidian Heim....... and they also divided some of the fleets that Fafnier and Reinhardt had not had time to unite.

The current Galactic Empire, Reinhardt, because it occupies the imperial capital Odin and the galaxy with developed heavy industry in the north, is the first in strength on paper, with 100,000 ships, but there are many mountains inside, and even the former friends have been divided. The old friendship of the Imperial Twin Walls has also gone into question.......... and Reinhardt himself is now the target of other powerful forces verbally defeating him.

The Faffnir fleet numbered 60,000 and controlled the vast southern territory around Fraser and up to the Chihoissa system, which had been robbed by Fafnier himself and its economic power had declined greatly, but the industry had recovered and grown considerably, spurred on by the "integrated production and maintenance plan" of Darles Midamaia and Gustav von Schutkhajen.

The rest of the small and medium-sized nobles divided one side and each had their own name. There are many troops such as Stephen, with 30,000 ships, and there are few thousands, although they all say that they are enemies of Reinhardt, who usurped the throne, but they themselves are also attacking endlessly.

The Galactic Empire is in turmoil, and so is the Alliance.

The political civil strife of the Alliance has finally progressed to the point of military repression within the system. The factions in power take advantage of the legitimate command of the troops stationed in the galaxy to demand that the military intervene to suppress independents and dissidents. And there are also several calls in the army for military commanders and the adoption of military control in the galaxy, led by Admiral Ulanfu, Admiral Ulanfu is deeply disgusted by the chaos in front of him, watching the army in such chaos is also chaotic, logistics, supplies, and establishment have been repeatedly delayed and chaotic, and finally Admiral Ulanfu took his fleet to go alone, announced military control in his home galaxy, and asked Heinison to quickly use strong means to quell the chaos, otherwise he would declare independence.

Young Willy's fleet, as a fleet, has lost its organized logistics and order, and there has been no normal rotation, decommissioning, waiting, and replenishment for several months. Many of the soldiers and junior officers in the fleet asked Admiral Yang Willy to come out and take the leadership responsibility, and asked the admiral to take them back to Henison to end the chaos that encompassed the whole alliance. Yang Willy had a headache: "This is obviously beyond the duty of a soldier in a democratic society, okay? And the logistics and the galaxies along the way are in chaos." How am I going to get there? Regardless of the fortress of Iserlohn, you're giving me all the problems!"

Adjutant Feletrica carried the head of Yang, who was sitting at the table, into his chest and massaged his temples with his hands.........

The chaos of the galaxy continues..................
