Chapter 401 Strategic Retreat
An hour later, alien warships with tentacles flying around appeared not far from the multinational fleet along with gray vortices.
Li Mingze's pupils shrank when he saw the alien fleet appear. This superluminal navigation method seemed familiar.
If he guessed correctly, these alien warships should have evolved organs that can activate wormholes!
This is a big discovery. After these battles are over, we must study these organs on the aliens that allow them to navigate in hyperspace.
With these organs, the Empire's alien warships will be able to navigate in hyperspace freely, and no longer rely on the Empire's wormhole high-speed channels.
Similarly, the Tiger Shark-class warships can also use this organ to replace the hyperspace engines manufactured by the Empire.
At that time, the manufacturing efficiency of the Empire's warships will be greatly improved.
"All warships are ready, and they will open fire at full force after the enemy enters the range!" Commanders from various countries issued orders to their fleets one after another.
Torpedoes and missiles rushed towards the alien fleet lined up in a line in the distance like wild horses.
At this time, the alien fleet, which could not fire at all due to the limitation of range, could only rely on its huge number to offset the ballistic weapons launched by the multinational joint defense fleet.
Waves of violent explosions flashed continuously in the alien fleet, and the broken wreckage of alien warships flew all over the sky.
The surface of the wreckage that had lost its vitality began to become stiff and black. At this time, the passing alien warship suddenly stretched out its tentacles and rolled the wreckage into its mouth.
For these aliens, every bit of nutrients cannot be wasted, and the tissues that make up their bodies contain a lot of energy. Instead of letting them drift in space, it is better to let them contribute their last strength to the alien fleet!
"The battle situation is not optimistic. I think we need to retreat to the next star system. The Republic of Andorra is building a temporary defense line there." The president of the Tucson United States stood beside Li Mingze and suggested to Li Mingze.
"We will retreat to the next star system before the alien fleet enters their range."
"We must make good use of every range advantage to weaken the alien fleet as much as possible."
Li Mingze's expression was extremely serious when he spoke. But no one knew that at this moment, he was very happy in his heart. This new alien matrix did a great job.
With the powerful alien fleet pressing forward step by step, many countries are now significantly less resistant to the establishment of the Interstellar Federation. It is only two steps away from the establishment of the Interstellar Federation according to Li Mingze's idea. He will complete these two steps with the help of the alien fleet!
The alien fleet, which was bruised and battered by the missile rain of the joint defense fleet, finally moved forward a long distance. At this time, there was only a short distance left before it entered the range of the acid shells.
However, the joint defense fleet did not rush to withdraw at this time, but took advantage of this precious opportunity to aim at the alien fleet and launch another round of salvos.
The battlefield was instantly covered by various colored light columns and shell tail flames. The alien fleet hit by the salvo suffered heavy losses in an instant, and a large number of alien warships were blown into flying "remnants".
Obviously, because this alien matrix had no tactical foundation, it did not know the importance of formation at all, which led to such a large loss of the alien fleet this time!
The line-shaped battle formation was already at a disadvantage in terms of its own range, and it was also under the enemy's firepower coverage. This was a complete act of seeking death, and it was simply giving merit to the officers and soldiers of the joint fleet.
However, relying on its huge numerical advantage, the alien fleet was about to reach the range of their weapons after losing hundreds of thousands of warships.
But the joint defense fleet did not engage in a firefight with its warships as the alien matrix expected. These damn fleets actually retreated!
It was like a punch in the air, and the alien matrix was almost spitting blood.
After drawing an arc in space, the multinational joint defense fleet turned around and retreated rapidly behind. The alien fleet followed closely behind.
"We have left the planetary gravity well! Entering hyperspace!" As the soldiers in the bridge shouted, one warship after another disappeared into the universe.
Seeing that the joint defense fleet had all disappeared in the starry sky, the alien matrix roared angrily twice and turned its eyes to the deep blue planet not far away.
The life energy emanating from the planet seemed to be constantly reminding these aliens: There is delicious food here, come quickly.
However, the alien mother body's mind had turned around at this time, and it suddenly understood the significance of the multinational joint defense fleet's actions.
It was nothing more than constantly building defense lines and using the advantage of weapon range to continuously weaken its fleet! It just didn't follow the enemy's thinking!
The alien mother body, which had figured it out, ordered 10,000 warships carrying alien troops to stay, eliminate all creatures on the planet not far away, and wait for the return of the large fleet.
And it led the remaining three million troops to continue chasing the multinational joint fleet!
As a gray energy mist appeared, many alien warships also disappeared in the starry sky.
The 10,000 alien warships left behind began to turn around and fall to the deep blue planet not far away.
The people on these planets had no idea what terrible things they were going to experience.
Just like the current multinational joint fleet, they had no idea that the alien fleet did not stop to rest and eat as they expected, but continued to follow them!
Two days later, the multinational fleet returned to the normal universe from hyperspace.
In the orbit of an earth-like colony not far away, countless transport ships and construction ships were busy.
The general shape of the fortresses has appeared, and the weapon modules on the fortresses have been installed in place. Now they are waiting for the energy reactor to be installed and powered.
The crew of the joint fleet of various countries, who thought they had escaped from danger, gradually relaxed their tense minds. The high-intensity battles during this period consumed too much of their energy. Only after this relaxation did these crew members feel that their bodies had become exhausted.
All heads of state have returned to their lounges, but Li Mingze did not rest like these heads of state.
Because the large gravity reaction scanning device in the New Human Federation has just sent him the latest information.
The alien fleet did not stay in the previous star system as they imagined, but chased towards the defense line of their joint guard fleet.
"Things are getting interesting." Li Mingze showed an ambiguous smile at the corner of his mouth. This kind of thing beyond his expectations is interesting, isn't it?
