Chapter 144 The Unfinished Final Battle

The Imbechi warships in the encirclement were squeezed together, and even the warships in the middle could not find a good shooting angle, and were often blocked by their own warships.

"Don't continue to compress the enemy's range of activities, leave room for activities, and make full use of our advantages in dodging and shooting accuracy." Although the situation was good, Li Mingze was still not very satisfied with the command of this temporary commander.

The Imperial Fleet, which was gradually compressing the Imbechi fleet's activity space, stopped approaching and slowly spread outward.

Originally, as the Imperial Fleet's encirclement tightened, the Imperial Fleet's flexibility and accuracy advantages gradually decreased, and the commander of the Imbechi fleet was secretly happy.

But now the Imperial Fleet is spreading outward again, making the advantages stand out again, which makes the commander of the Imbechi frown deeply.

"No, we can't go on like this, we must break out and counter-encircle the Imperial Fleet!" The commander of the Imbechi patted the armrest of the command seat.

"Prepare to break out!"

The Imbechi fleet received the order and concentrated in the middle into a cone shape, aiming at the weakest defense of the encirclement.

The rear thruster of the Imbechi warship at the top of the cone suddenly increased its power, and the warship flew forward quickly.

"Alert, alert, the enemy ship is about to collide with our ship, please evade quickly!" The voice of the ship-borne AI came from an imperial warship in the encirclement.

Through the holographic screen, everyone in the bridge can clearly see that the enemy's spaceship is heading towards the front of their own warship, which is where the imperial spaceship is about to pass.

The warship driver pushed the push rod on the console to the top, and the whole warship made a sound of metal distortion and looked up to avoid it.

But it was obviously too late. The huge cruiser used by the Imbechi Alliance to open the way crashed under the petite body of the imperial destroyer, and the huge force directly knocked out a terrifying gap in the armor of the lower part of the imperial destroyer.

The huge collision sound was transmitted from the battleship armor to the bridge, followed by a huge explosion that made everyone in the bridge black out and lose consciousness.

The cruiser that blasted the destroyer was not feeling well at this time. After the shield was broken, all the power was concentrated on the upper part of the diamond-shaped hull of the Imbechi cruiser. The huge force flattened the sharp edges, and bursts of flames emerged from the flattened hull. The originally fast Imbechi cruiser also slowed down at this time.

And behind it, there were two cruisers flying towards the other two imperial destroyers adjacent to the destroyed destroyer. The imperial destroyers did not dare to resist and hurriedly avoided them.

Obviously, this suicidal collision tactic achieved very good results. The encirclement of the imperial fleet was torn open, and the Imbechi fleet took the opportunity to break through the encirclement formed by the imperial fleet.

After leaving the encirclement, the Imbechi warships scattered in all directions, trying to wrap up the imperial fleet in turn.

"Want to counter-encircle us? It's just wishful thinking! All warships listen to the order, with the destroyed destroyer as the center, spread out in all directions up and down, left and right, and the larger the scattered area, the better!" Li Mingze stared at the holographic screen in front of him showing the battlefield situation and ordered loudly.

The imperial warships that received the order withdrew from the encirclement and spread outward with the destroyed destroyer as the center.

The Imperial Fleet and the Imbechi Fleet, who wanted to encircle and counter-encircle, spread out like two big nets, and neither could do anything to the other.

"If they keep shooting at each other like this, I don't believe they can beat us. After such a long period of high-intensity fighting, they are exhausted." Li Mingze said, watching the Imbechi warships on the holographic screen with lower and lower shooting accuracy and evasion efficiency.

"Your Majesty, we have been using the overclocking mode all the time, which is very harmful to the soldiers. If we continue, their bodies will not be able to bear it." The officer on the side sent the received report to Li Mingze's terminal.

"Aren't there resting personnel on duty? Let them go to work in advance, and send all those who come down from their posts to the infirmary for full-body repair, and return to their posts immediately after the repair." Li Mingze looked at the terminals uploaded by each warship and said helplessly.

In this way, although the fleet's shooting accuracy and evasion ability have declined, it can at least reach a level slightly higher than the Imbechi fleet.

Moreover, the number of warships in the Imbechi fleet has been reduced by more than one-third. The number of warships in the Imperial Fleet, which originally lacked the number of warships by nearly one-quarter of the Imbechi fleet, has now surpassed the number of warships in the Imbechi fleet.

"Your Majesty, the soldiers can no longer hold on. The soldiers' brains have begun to show rejection reactions, and it is no longer suitable to continue using the overclocking mode." The director in charge of the fleet's medical department connected Li Mingze's communicator.

"Can you endure for another hour? In one hour, we will definitely gain an absolute advantage!" Li Mingze frowned deeply. If the overclocking mode is lost, the two armies with equal technology and similar fleet numbers will probably be annihilated in the end.

"Your Majesty! It really can't be done! If they continue to use it, they will all become fools!" The director of the medical department insisted.

The flagship bridge fell into silence. On the one hand, the overclocking mode was continued. Even if the Empire finally won a tragic victory, all the surviving crew members became fools. On the other hand, it was slowly worn down with the enemy until they died together. Both results were unacceptable to everyone.

"Your Majesty, the enemy is beginning to retreat!" a soldier suddenly shouted in surprise.

Everyone hurriedly enlarged the hologram. As expected, most of the Imbechi warships had stopped attacking and began to slowly retreat to the rear. Only a small part was still fighting with the imperial warships to cover the retreat of other warships.

"All warships should not pursue! Cease fire and stand by." Li Mingze ordered decisively. He had a hunch that this battle would end badly.

Finding that the imperial fleet had stopped attacking, the Imbechi fleet accelerated its retreat.

"Your Majesty, there is a communication from the Imbechi fleet! Do you want to connect?" A signalman turned his head and looked at Li Mingze.

Li Mingze nodded: "Connect."

A huge head wearing a helmet appeared on the holographic screen in the middle of the bridge. The dark green helmet panel covered the face of the Imbechi man, making it impossible for people to judge his expression.

"I am the commander of the Imbechi main fleet. I am glad to meet you all." The Imbechi man in the holographic screen first made a hypocritical courtesy.

"Hello, I am the commander of the imperial fleet." Li Mingze also replied hypocritically.

Suddenly, both sides fell silent. Li Mingze and Commander Yinbeqi didn't know how to continue the conversation. The scene was very awkward for a while.

"Ahem, let me be frank. Now our strength is equal. Instead of fighting to the end and both sides perish, why don't we stop fighting and fight again another day." Commander Yinbeqi suggested somewhat awkwardly.
