Chapter 753: Strategic Shift

Just when the Iron Battlestar Killing Machine was hiding, preparing to launch a devastating surprise attack on the Earth Fleet, several Immortal Realm powerhouses in the Earth Fleet also appeared at the same time with more and more obvious mental alarms.

The induction of whims and catastrophes made these immortal realm powerhouses suddenly a little unable to sit still.

After a little communication with each other, and after discovering that the same induction appeared in the depths of everyone's hearts, several Immortal Realm powerhouses immediately determined the seriousness of the situation, there must be a fatal and huge danger ahead, and the combat ability of the Iron Battlestar was definitely not as simple as the little thing that had been seen before.

You must know that these Immortal Realm powerhouses, in order to maximize their guiding role in the battle, they are all riding in different warships, even if the battleship that a strong man is riding on has a problem and is destroyed by enemy fire, it will not let several strong people have a sense at the same time.

Now they are alarmed at the same time, and as the battleship gets closer to the position of the Iron Battle Star, the shadow in their hearts becomes more and more dense and uneasy, which can only show that the entire Earth Fleet is in great crisis, and the fleet has the possibility of capsizing together.

After receiving the warning from several immortal realm powerhouses, the commander of the Earth Fleet did not dare to take it lightly, and immediately ordered the fleet to stop advancing, and ordered all ships to spread around, widening the distance between each battleship, and at the same time, each Earth Battleship launched an emergency maneuver to prevent the fixed-point attack of the Iron Battlestar.

This is not a trivial effort by the fleet commander, in fact, as a member of the earth's civilization, no one can know better than the earthlings the strength of these strong people who have achieved cultivation.

Although the development height of the cultivation system of the earth civilization is not too high-end, especially in the large-scale interstellar battlefield that often spans tens of hundreds of light years, the strong people of the earth civilization are not too involved in it, showing the dominance of the cultivators in the battlefield, but after thousands of years of development, the cultivation system of the earth civilization has actually penetrated into all aspects and every corner of the earth civilization.

In too many aspects, the cultivators have an incomparable advantage over ordinary people, especially the powerhouses of the Immortal Realm, they have a spiritual power that is difficult to match in science and technology, once they have a sense, there has never been a time to let go of the empty gun, this has been tested by countless facts, and no one dares to ignore the guidance of these strong people.

Just like this battle, although the powerhouses of the Immortal Realm did not run rampant on the battlefield alone, with their incomparably sensitive spiritual sense, these powerhouses were still able to provide invaluable advice on the behavior of the fleet, so that the fleet could reduce unnecessary losses and increase more results.

In fact, after receiving the warning from the strong, the fleet commander considered many possibilities for a moment, and quickly locked the unknown threat on the hidden attack firepower of the Iron Battle Star.

This point has actually been exposed before the Iron Battlestar, obviously the Iron Battlestar was very weak at the beginning, and after a break, it began to recover a certain amount of faster-than-light strike ability little by little, from the beginning it could only excite one faster-than-light cannon, and slowly increased to the scale of ten, but after this detachment jumped near the Iron Battlestar, the Iron Battlestar immediately exposed the attack firepower of thousands of doors.

Since Iron Battlestar can open this first hole card, then naturally Iron Battlestar can open the second hole card, once again exposing tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of superluminal attack firepower, which is probably not a big deal for Iron Battlestar.

Sure enough, after the Earth Fleet took emergency countermeasures, the Iron Battlestar soon revealed its hideous face, and as many as 100,000 superlight guns were quickly displayed in front of the Earth Fleet under the cover of a large number of sub-light spaceship shields.

The Earth fleet soon fell into a state of bitter battle!

After displaying the firepower of a hundred thousand faster-than-light guns, the Iron Battlestar no longer hides its combat power. Not to mention completing a round of 100,000 rounds of faster-than-light attack salvos every five minutes, the Iron Battlestar is still expanding the scale of its attacks, and as time goes by little by little, the number of faster-than-light cannons activated by the Iron Battlestar continues to rise, 105,000 and 110,000, and the Earth Fleet is beginning to face more and more severe forms.

Even if the Earth Fleet has evacuated the formation as much as possible to open the distance between the warships, And do their best to constantly change the position of the spaceship in the three-dimensional space, but the attack firepower of the steel battle star is too dense, and the faster-than-light attacks are intertwined into a cross-fire network, forming an almost undodgable covering attack in space, and each earth ship has to withstand two faster-than-light guns in each round of attacks, and even more intensive fire attacks, which makes the battle damage of the earth fleet continue to expand, and there are always battleships that become pieces of wreckage in the void.

As the Earth Fleet was blocked from advancing, the ships that were originally left behind by the Earth Fleet also caught up with the Earth Fleet, entangled the Earth Fleet, and fell into a state of entanglement with the Earth Fleet.

These warships of the Resistance Alliance, one-on-one, of course, they are not the opponents of the Earth Battleships, the problem is that they will not play one-on-one heads-up, and the battle of the Earth Battleships, these Rebel Alliance warships are all rushing up to play group fights, doing everything possible to cause damage to the Earth Battleships, coupled with the steel battle stars behind them constantly firing black guns, the casualties of the Earth Fleet are becoming more and more heavy, and the situation is about to deteriorate to the point of no sustainability.

Manpower is sometimes poor, although the Earth Fleet has many advantages, in terms of science and technology is enough to crush the Coalition Fleet, but now on the one hand, there is the Iron Battlestar, which is not inferior to the opponent, on the other hand, there is a huge threat of the Coalition Fleet, especially the Coalition warships are still pouring in from the surrounding area, increasing their size all the time, so that the Coalition ships are gradually getting bigger and bigger.

Under such circumstances, many of the advantages of the Earth Fleet are gradually difficult to give full play, and there is a risk of being surrounded and annihilated.

Under such huge losses, the Earth Fleet finally stopped holding out and began to slowly withdraw from the battlefield.

Originally, in this situation, it would be quite difficult for this detachment of the Earth Civilization to evacuate from the battlefield, after all, tens of thousands of ships were surrounded by the Rebellion Alliance fleet, and the room for turning around was compressed smaller and smaller, especially with the Iron Battlestar next to it, which was constantly releasing cold arrows, and it was extremely difficult to evacuate from the battlefield if you didn't want to pay a huge price.

Fortunately, this detachment is not alone, the other two Earth detachments have now completed the space-time jump cooldown, and their positions are also within the distance of a jump, and now they find that their comrades are deep in the quagmire of war, and they are all able to jump over to provide strong support to it.

Under prior consultation, the two squadrons jumped to the flank of the battlefield together, very close to the position of their comrades, and some of the warships played a long-range support role, clearing the obstacles for the mired detachment and opening a safe passage out of the battlefield, while the other part of the ships countered the Iron Battlestar, using a large amount of concentrated firepower to continuously destroy the Iron Battlestar's exposed faster-than-light cannon.

After a thunderous strike, the Iron Battlestar couldn't bear the loss, and could not bear the constant destruction of its faster-than-light attack weapons, so he had no choice but to give up the great opportunity to beat the water dogs and take the opportunity to destroy the Earth Battleship, and carried out a firepower counterattack on the Earth Fleet on the flank of the battlefield.

With the concerted efforts of the friendly forces on the battlefield, the Earth Fleet that was mired in the quagmire finally got out of the predicament, after all, the biggest threat to this fleet before was the Iron Battlestar, without the threat of the large-scale faster-than-light attack of the Iron Battlestar, even if it was a large number of resistance alliance fleets, they had to retreat in the face of the sharp firepower of the Earth Fleet.

So the Earth Fleet was besieged by groups, and the warships gathered with each other, forming a dense firepower from the outside, and little by little the resistance alliance fleet came to the distance, and finally with the help of the friendly forces on the battlefield, they got out of the battlefield vortex little by little, with difficulty, and gathered together with other Earth fleets.

At this time, the original total number of nearly 150,000 ships of the Earth Fleet, now that the three sub-fleets are concentrated, there is only a little more than 130,000 ships left, and among the total number of warships lost nearly 20,000, in this counterattack by the Iron Battlestar, more than half of them were lost, adding up to more than 10,000 ships.

And this is just the strength of the Iron Battlestar that has restored a small part of its combat power, the powerful Iron Battlestar combined with a bunch of low-performance warships of the Resistance Alliance, has caused such unprecedented losses to the Earth Fleet, it is conceivable that once the Iron Battlestar recovers its full combat power, and then organizes a large number of tens of millions of carrier ships to form an integrated command operation, how threatening it will be to the Earth Fleet!

It can be said that in addition to the core territory of the earth civilization, every star field directly under the earth civilization today cannot withstand the threat of such a terrifying and powerful war force.

For this Earth Fleet, there is no need to continue this war at this stage, because the Iron Battlestar has recovered enough self-protection ability, coupled with the protection of a large number of resistance alliance fleets, the Earth Fleet can no longer take advantage of it.

If you continue to persist now, the Iron Battlestar has countless shields around them to resist the attack of the Earth Fleet, on the contrary, the Earth Fleet will be completely exposed to the fire of the Iron Battlestar, which will form a situation where the Earth Fleet and the warships of the Resistance Alliance are fighting each other, and it is not cost-effective for the Earth Fleet to defeat the more warships of the Resistance Alliance, and there is no point at all.

Rather than this, the Earth Fleet is more inclined to avoid the Iron Battlestar for the time being, and continue to look for an underground production base in this star field as an offensive target.

After all, although the Iron Battlestar itself is powerful, it is only a rootless drifter in this star field, and it can't achieve any climate with its own strength alone, the reason why the threat of the Iron Battlestar has risen so sharply now, in the final analysis, is just that it has colluded with some local civilization forces in the Meteorite Star Sea, making these forces a continuous source of strength for the Iron Battlestar itself, which greatly increases its threat level.

Now that the Earth Fleet cannot directly threaten the safety of the Iron Battlestar, it is only the second best thing to do is to destroy the source of power of these forces that collude with the Iron Battlestar.

It is believed that if a large number of underground bases in this star field can be destroyed, the industrial manufacturing capacity of these local civilization forces will inevitably decline significantly, so that the various material support they can provide to the Iron Battlestar will also invisibly have huge losses, which will also indirectly weaken the Iron Battlestar.

Therefore, seeing that it is impossible to do anything, the Earth Fleet has already decided to shift its strategy, continue to fight guerrilla warfare with the Resistance Alliance, and no longer face up to the Iron Battlestar.

However, before the strategic shift, the Earth Fleet still launched all the remaining twenty annihilation bombs, which can be regarded as adding a blockage to the Iron Battlestar.

After the launch, instead of continuing to observe and wait for the results, the Earth Fleet directly started the faster-than-light cruise and sailed towards the next predetermined target area.

The fleet formed by more than 100,000 earth warships, as long as there is no steel battle star in the way, can run rampant in this star field at will, even if it continues to be divided into small fleets, it can easily destroy several underground bases, but now with the threat of steel battle stars, the entire earth fleet has given up this option that may expand the results of the battle.

Because I have read some secret information related to the weapons of the battle star, the top management of this earth fleet is very clear that the battle star weapons of this kind of steel battle star, their long, medium and short-range navigation, all have different advanced means, in terms of time and space jump technology, the advantage of the steel battle star is even greater than that of the earth fleet, so at this time, if you have to divide the troops, it will not expand the results, once things develop in a worse direction, it may be broken by the steel battle star.

The powerful Earth Fleet, which has already personally experienced the Iron Battlestar, will no longer have the slightest carelessness about this terrible Iron Battlestar, and even the time and space annihilation bombs as many as twenty are well known to the Earth Fleet, and most of them will not be able to get any decent results.

Sure enough, most of the day passed, and the space-time fluctuations caused by a series of violent explosions came, and the Earth Fleet clearly observed that these annihilation bombs were also in vain, and only destroyed some of the ships that resisted the alliance.
