The situation of the Solar System's fleet was dire. In the past, the three major planets would have fought their own battles in such a situation, but not this time. The military reforms were strictly enforced, and the three major planets were very clear of their current position. The Solar System was no longer what it was in the past. Although it took many years to recognize the reality, it was not too late.
The Martian fleet was deployed to face the Darkness Empire. Drachmach was very clear that their tactics were at a disadvantage. There was no need to continue fighting, and they had to retreat to minimize their losses.
But was it so easy to retreat from the battlefield? What kind of price would they have to pay?
Just as Allen Porter was preparing for a large-scale attack, the intelligence department sent news that their logistics fleet had been intercepted. At the same time, a fleet was attacking the Norton Star.
The Norton Star contained all the resources for this expedition. If the Norton Star failed, then the entire expedition fleet would be isolated. The Solar System only needed to exhaust them to death.
The Solar System Federation was not a defenseless Tita Star, and they were incomparably familiar with this star field. No matter how much they declined, this land still belonged to the Solar System.
This was Drachmach's trump card. It was a surprise attack from behind, led by Achilles, Lie Xin, and Meng Tian. A light fleet with elite space warriors. The goal was to cut off the reinforcements. However, this goal had been achieved. Meng Tian had come up with a new plan.
There was a move in Earth's battle strategy: bluff!
After cutting off the reinforcements, they would attack the Norton Star and pretend to be the vanguard. The enemy would definitely panic because they did not dare to take the risk. If the logistics base on the Norton Star was destroyed, then the expedition would be over.
Cutting off the backup and engaging in guerrilla warfare would only cause some trouble for the enemy, and would not have much effect on the overall battle. But using the same strategy, the effect would be different.
Of course, Meng Tian and the rest had to take a huge risk, but the rewards were also great. Whether the enemy believed it or not, this would cause psychological pressure on the enemy's commander. Once there was this kind of worry, there would be errors in the execution and judgment of the battlefield. This was basic psychology.
Reality proved that Meng Tian was right. The space warriors led by Achilles and the rest had successfully destroyed the Norton Star's space port. This demonstrated the combat power of the super elites, and it was enough to scare the Norton Star.
Allen Porter could not chase recklessly. He was very clear that even if he could not kill them all, he could at least injure them. But the problem was that injuring them did not equal annihilation. If the Norton Star was lost, then it would be an endless stalemate. This was the greatest taboo for an expedition fleet. Moreover, the international situation was not stable.
Not only that, but Allen Porter also had to maintain the military strength of his fleet. Their alliance with the Darkness Empire was like dancing with the wolves, and they had to have strength first. With the character of the Darkness Empire, if they found out that the Maacah Republic's military strength had been greatly reduced, who knew what they would do.
In the end, Allen Porter ordered a portion of the fleet to cooperate with the Darkness Empire's attack, while the main fleet rushed to the Norton Star to ensure the integrity of the rear supply line.
Deep down, he did not believe that the Solar System could send a large fleet to the Norton Star. However, the news from the Norton Star was that this light fleet was extremely powerful. Could it be that the other party was playing a trick?
Purposely letting him chase after them so that they could take down Norton in one fell swoop?
It had to be known that once the fleet started their pursuit, it would not be easy to retreat.
Allen Porter's brain was also spinning countless times, and he finally made a decision. There was no need for him to gamble, because the Solar System was not their match. Moreover, since the Darkness Empire had already been exposed, the Darkness Empire could only go all the way. Giving up halfway would not benefit either party.
You have to be willing, you have to be willing. This Drachmach had some skills. Although he was a little unwilling, he could only accept it.
In this battle on Pluto, the Solar System had finally escaped the fate of being completely annihilated. However, Drachmach and the rest were not happy at all. This time, if it was not for the miraculous effect of Meng Tian's ambush, the Solar System would have been in real danger.
However, when the next attack came, how would the Solar System defend against it? The enemy would definitely strengthen the defense of the Norton Star. To the Maacah Alliance, once they understood the situation, they would go all out and attack. Meng Tian and the rest could succeed once, but it would not be the same the second time.
If he was Allen Porter, he wouldn't take the risk either. What he was worried about now was whether the Darkness Empire would continue to send more troops.
At this stage of the battle, there was no reason for them to give up halfway.
Both warring parties were reorganizing their troops and treating the wounded, leaving behind only wreckage in space. This space junk would also add a lot of trouble in the future, but no one was thinking about this now.
In the Alliance Battle Command, Iyerta Sloughberg's expression was not very good. "General Allen Porter, are you going to give up such a huge victory because of such a small matter?"
The facts had proven that the Solar System's elite core fleet had attacked the Norton Star and the logistics team. There were even a few super warriors among them. In terms of super warrior reserves, the Solar System was not very good.
"General Sloughberg, please do not be impatient. Although the fleet that invaded the Norton Star this time is not big, its combat power is amazing. With our strength, taking down the Solar System is only a matter of time. There is no need to take the risk. Moreover, the enemy's Heaven-ranks have not appeared yet, and they still have trump cards. Although it is good to go all out, it could easily cause huge losses." Allen Porter laughed. He did not want to clash with Sloughberg. The Darkness Empire was like this. Both parties were in a state of cooperation, and there was no need to fight them head-on.
"General Sloughberg, what General Allen Porter said makes sense. In this light fleet, there are a few young super warriors, and they are the Greatest Kings of SIG. They cannot be underestimated. It is better to be safe. What I mean is, can the Darkness Empire send a Heaven-rank warrior as support? This way, we will have more confidence," Norton Star's commander Sheridan Auland said.
"Greatest King? Are you talking about Wang Zheng? "Sloughberg was stunned.
Sheridan Auland and Allen Porter looked at each other. They knew that Sloughberg was wrong. If it was Wang Zheng, then they would really be in big trouble. Perhaps the entire battle strategy would have to be adjusted.
"Keke, it is not Wang Zheng. Wang Zheng is now on Titatitan Star. He has just finished a big battle with Sirius, and there is no more news at the moment. With the current route blockade, it should not be him, unless he can fly over himself," Sheridan Auland said.
It was obvious that Iyerta Sloughberg's expression had relaxed. Anyone who had ambition and was good at attacking would have very precise information gathering.
