"The sacrifice is so great! Do you want us to retreat? Did the soldiers who died in the battle die in vain! Half of my ships have been destroyed! Do you want us to retreat now?"

"Luofeng's firepower is so fierce that we can't resist it. If we can't evacuate during this window period and their huge planetary cannon is fully charged, we won't be able to leave!"

The staff officer said quickly:

"We must preserve enough vitality now!"

"Fuck the living force!"

Revell's eyes were bloodshot: "How long has it been since the war started! We can still fight!"

"Lord Earl! We can't deal with the opponent's tactics for the time being!"

"Their drones can't get close to us!"

"That's because your ship itself is equipped with excessive air defense capabilities. The empire's standard ships do not consider the impact of drones in this regard! In the future, we only need to activate some of the inventory warships and use the drone swarm to defend the ship.

Take it out and you can perfectly restrain them!"

"asshole!"

Revell paced back and forth anxiously on the narrow podium.

Everywhere outside the portholes, lines of light bombs crisscrossed back and forth, and combat drones three to five meters long shuttled wildly, exploding into streams of debris in the hail of bullets.

"We must be decisive now!"

The staff officer grabbed Revell's arm and growled:

"The fact that we can get the retreat order proves that the higher-ups want us to survive. Many ships have not received the retreat order, and they will become the ones who will be sacrificed! Revell! Luo Feng and the others are ten thousand times more prepared than us! This is a battle.

We lost the war at the beginning! We are unjust!"

Revell wanted to break free from the staff officer's hand, but he struggled a few times and the staff officer's big hand did not move at all.

He closed his eyes hard and gasped a few times.

In the past few dozen minutes, his mood had gone from self-deprecating at the beginning, to indifference before the war started, to his pupils shaking when the opponent's planetary cannon smashed his own dreadnought, to when the two fleets were bombarding each other.

Anxiety...

Now, Revell suddenly calmed down.

He took a breath and whispered: "Retreat! Take more people and escape!"

"The Güell Alliance is trying to outflank us from the rear. We can only give priority to ensuring that we will not be destroyed."

The staff officer said something solemnly, and then ran directly to the driving console.

Revell held on to the railing and slowly sat on the ground.

He looked out the window at the chaotic battlefield and saw a battleship not far away being pierced by an ion beam and detonating. There was only deep fatigue in his eyes.

unjust war;

He lost so easily.

Could this be the future of the empire...

…

"Boss! Some ships of the empire have begun to leave the battlefield!"

Beside Yang Ming, Lu's figure hurriedly appeared and quickly reported:

"Several fleets in the empire began to attack crazily. They seemed to be detonating the power furnace, making it impossible for us to pursue them for the time being.

"They ran quite decisively."

Yang Ming nodded slightly, sat in his seat, and stared at the battlefield close at hand.

Those ships of the empire have begun to carry out forced jumps at the risk of damage to the hardware of their own jump systems. At the moment when several ships forcibly started the jump, their own power furnaces were detonated by unstable energy and exploded into huge

Starry sky fireworks.

Yang Ming didn't ask any questions, just watched quietly.

The Luofeng Fleet is trying to expand its results as much as possible, and the drone swarms have formed a cluster in the deep sky, like dark clouds one after another.

‘Mechanical Insect Swarm’.

This word came to Yang Ming's mind inexplicably, so this tactic got a new name.

Victory reports from each fleet commander came through the communication channel.

Yang Ming heard cheers from far and near.

His command ship is also celebrating symbolically, but everyone is a mechanical thinking body wearing pseudo-derm, so it doesn't matter what they mean.

The two generals beside Yang Ming who had been replaced for many years continued to convey orders.

Because of General Akzi's decisiveness, some of the empire's ships escaped successfully, and the remaining ships were quickly wiped out by Luofeng.

Originally, Yang Ming thought this was a big victory... but it was indeed a big victory.

The Luofeng Alliance's hidden fist suddenly swung out, catching the Sherman Empire by surprise. It would be extremely difficult to achieve such a tactical effect later.

But when Lu reported the number of casualties on his side, Yang Ming still felt a strong pinch in his heart.

Because of the excitement of the planetary cannon bombarding the dreadnought, the battle was fought quickly and urgently, with huge casualties.

The Sherman Empire lost more than 7,200 ships, which were directly damaged by planetary cannon bombardment. The number of damaged ships reached 1,900, and three dreadnoughts were destroyed.

One hundred and twenty-six ships were captured, all medium and large combat ships;

Another 1,300 ships have lost their combat effectiveness and require emergency maintenance. The possibility of direct scrapping cannot be ruled out.

Among the empire's crusade, the regular army lost nearly half of its combat strength, the noble private army lost 60%, and more than 80 nobles above count and above were killed or wounded.

The Luofeng side lost more than 4,300 ships, mainly due to the fact that there were no ordinary ships on the route where the two dreadnoughts bombarded the planetary cannon.

Two self-propelled planetary cannons were lost.

Due to the high intensity of the war, 1.25 million drones were lost in the battle group.

The number of soldiers killed in the empire is estimated at 19.6 million;

About 8.92 million soldiers died in Luofeng.

8.92 million...

Yang Ming rubbed his forehead vigorously and slumped down on the chair, his eyes a little hollow.

This is the high-intensity war in the galaxy.

This kind of war can also be fought by the New Federation and the Empire, but each time there are too many political factors mixed in with both sides, and they avoid war intentionally or unintentionally.

On the surface, it seems that Luofeng used his weak force to attack the strong one, and it is already brilliant to achieve such results.

In fact, Yang Ming knew that this was the accumulation of technology brought by Lu. The Luofeng side and the Empire side had almost the same combat power, but due to various factors, both sides had no reserve at all.

"Boss," Lu said softly, "the empire's defeated troops and reinforcements from the rear have merged, and will soon form a super powerful fleet of more than 13,000 ships. They are also urgently mobilizing troops from the rear."

Yang Ming nodded numbly and asked, "What do the Guel Alliance and the United Free Republic say?"

"The fleets of the Guel Alliance have begun to move closer to us. They expressed congratulations and admiration for our achievement of such a victory, and issued us a parallel invitation to the chain of command."

"Tell them they can help if they need help and follow our instructions."

"yes!"

A few minutes later.

Lu's figure appeared again: "Boss, they have agreed to the request. Next, these two battle groups will cooperate with us in making tactical arrangements. The fleet of the United Free Republic will arrive in two galaxies. Will we announce the formation of a coalition?

?”

"Well," Yang Ming said, "the results of the first battle will be publicized throughout the country, and all the soldiers who died in the battle will receive a pension according to the pension standards we set."

"Yes... Her Highness Emilia sent a communication request."

"Letting other generals appear on the scene is just political propaganda," Yang Ming rubbed his forehead, "Let me adjust, when will the empire launch another attack?"

Lu said softly: "Three galaxies at the earliest, but in the next war, the empire should make a choice. They are very likely to withdraw the fleets that invaded other satellite countries and use all their strength to deal with us and the New Federation."

Yang Ming said: "As long as we win the next battle, the empire will lose the ability to promote its hegemony to the outside world in the next ten years... Prepare for war with all your strength, and use all the power you can."

"clear."

Just as Lu's projection was about to dissipate, he suddenly turned around and said:

"Boss, 026's nephew died in the battle."

"who?"

"026's nephew, a nineteen-year-old young man."

Yang Ming was stunned for a moment and asked, "What's his name?"

"Xingyu Thacker," Lu explained, "We tried to rescue him, but the ship he was on was bombarded by the battleship's main gun..."

"I understand," Yang Ming said, "Let 026 mourn. I will comfort her when the war is over."

"good."
