The USS Gaia is the core flagship of the Pella Central Floating Fleet and the highest embodiment of human magical civilization.

She has a thick metal body that is as wide as the sky and the sun, and the hull is equipped with pure gold armor several meters thick, and the surface is engraved with extremely complex and profound magical inscriptions, and countless evil horned hedgehogs are all over her body. On the left and right sides of the ship, there are two rows of shark fin-shaped fan-shaped auxiliary power units reinforced with a Mithril skeleton, which swing in unison. Quietly passing through the thick clouds at an altitude of thousands of meters, the dazzling sun appeared on the horizon, as if it was the sun car driven by Apollo.

At this moment, Cleo, Doss and the others were under the escort of Elrens and the fleet, standing on the wide deck of the floating carrier, looking out at the battlefield below.

The Gaia is the flagship of the Central Fleet, and has always been captained by Commander Cleo himself, and some time ago, because Queen Mother Olympias did not allow her daughter to return to Pera, Captain Pythia of the Imperial temporarily took over the position of fleet commander and captain of the Gaia. The Pythia had rich combat experience, a calm personality, and a strict thinking, and brilliantly fulfilled the task of commanding the fleet in battle, successfully suppressed the enemy's floating fleet in the breakout war, and greatly reduced the injuries of the ground forces when breaking through the encirclement. But at the same time, the floating fleet itself has suffered great losses in the fierce fighting that has lasted for several days, many warships have been sunk, and the remaining ships, including the Gaia, are also scarred and in urgent need of repair.

At this time, the battle of the breakout also came to the critical last day. Most of the remaining 200,000 or so defenders of Pera had retreated beyond the encirclement, except for those who had been killed. Only about 50,000 troops remained, and under the command of the Praetorian Guard, Eumenes, they retreated and fought at the same time, and slowly entered the gap in the encirclement. The Central Floating Fleet also assisted in carrying more than 10,000 wounded soldiers, while providing fire support from the air.

Today's battle began with a terrible one. Both sides realized the crux of the battle, and the HRE army mobilized forces from all sides to intercept it, while the defenders of Pera had some air superiority, while reinforcements from the south attacked from the outside and formed a flanking attack on the encirclement of the HRE army. The two armies fought repeatedly and bloodily in the narrow passage, and soon there were heavy casualties!

Eumenes divided his elite men into three routes, one with the partner infantry regiment as the core. Responsible for covering the left flank, with the Royal Shield Guard as the core to cover the right flank. The Commander of the Praetorian Guard himself personally led the middle of the Agrion Light Shield Regiment and the Cretan Elven Archery Regiment to advance at full speed in the middle lane, breaking through as fast as possible. However, the enemy offensive was extremely fierce, especially on the right flank, where the enemy was outnumbered. Although the Royal Shield Guard was elite, it could not withstand the enemy's desperate attacks after days of hard fighting, and soon there were a lot of gaps in its battle line!

Eumenes and the Great Prince of Corinth led a large number of warriors along the narrow passage, an area that had changed hands many times between friend and foe. Trenches on the ground covered with lactating cobwebs and craters blasted by magic cannons. and dark red earth with the smell of blood.

Along the way, there were also a number of soldiers left behind by the forward troops, standing guard on some makeshift forts and turrets, and they were joined by the broken troops of Eumenes, and retreated with the main army.

At this moment, a drizzle began to fall in the sky, and the warriors continued to move forward in the rain, and when they climbed over a small mound, a black dust appeared in front of them!

"It's an enemy attack!!," a scout with two arrows in the back galloped from a distance on his horse, shouting hoarsely as he ran. Run halfway there. I don't know where another arrow was shot, and it immediately knocked him to the ground with men and horses.

Periande, the Grand Prince of Corinth, frowned and looked into the distance. Ommenes beside him reminded him, "It looks like a large group of Gothic cavalry has broken through our right flank!"

The Janissary Commander nodded and ordered loudly: "The whole army shrinks! Heavy infantry forward, light infantry backward, immediately assemble into a battle formation!!"

Under his orders, the Pera warriors scattered across the battlefield immediately began to regroup in small groups. However, due to the rapid advance of the army, the army was drawn in a straight line, and the distance between the head and tail was relatively large, and it was difficult to regroup quickly for a while.

On the contrary, the Gothic cavalry in front sounded the battle horns, and they began to charge forward with great fierceness in the morning light. The black waves of black pressure rushed forward like a mountain of seas, and in the blink of an eye, they killed in front of the Pera warriors in front of them. The outer Pera warriors who were urgently assembling were still unprepared at this time, they were isolated and completely powerless to resist the ferocious assault of the enemy's heavy cavalry group, and they could only widen their eyes in fear, clenched the spears in their hands, and were instantly overwhelmed by the enemy like a huge wave!

On the battlefield, a large number of Pera soldiers were knocked into the sky or knocked to the ground by the rushing enemy horses, and for a while the screams came and went. Although the Pera warriors suffered heavy losses, the Gothic cavalry was busy slaughtering the enemy, and the speed of their advance slowly slowed down.

At this time, several groups of heavily armed Moon Elf warriors had already gathered in front of Eumenes, and he once again gave a loud order: "The Agrion Light Shield Regiments are attacking!"

At his command, several groups of light infantry assembled behind the hoplites began to move forward in a neat pace. These warriors, known as the Agrions, were a warlike and tough hill people who wore pointed metal helmets and no armor, except for a magical cloak, a small round shield, and five powerful Peonian magic spears.

After passing the hoplites in front, the Agrarian light shield regiment began to trot forward briskly in the form of a skirmish, and when they reached a distance of about a hundred meters from the Gothic cavalry who were slaughtering the Pella warriors in front, they suddenly let out a roar in unison, using their left foot as the fulcrum, and their right hand swung their arms violently, smashing the Peonian magic heavy spear in their hands towards the enemy!

Countless magic heavy spears suddenly shot out like raindrops, and the Gothic cavalry were taken aback, and hurriedly stopped the slaughter and wanted to turn around and flee, but where was the time? In the blink of an eye, the magic heavy spears had already fallen into the enemy's dense cavalry formation with the sound of whistling wind, and a series of violent explosions suddenly sounded, and the dazzling fire instantly submerged the cavalry's formation, and billowing smoke rose into the sky!
