He could not control other places, but this was his territory.
Lieutenant General Zhang Yunfeng was the commander of the Seventh Fleet. The frontal battle had put a lot of pressure on his fleet. When he was under pressure, he heard his adjutant say that Zhang Shan had acted on his own. He was furious. He had asked them to defend and prevent the enemy from invading his main ship. Zhang Yunfeng knew Zhang Shan's strength and had asked him to protect him, but this guy actually …
"Order him to come back. Have all the space warriors continue to carry out orders and ensure the safety of the main ship."
Zhang Yunfeng was a conservative general. This war was going to be dragged into a stalemate. It was impossible to defeat the Maacah coalition. Survival was the most important thing. Meng Ao and the rest would fight if they wanted to.
Zhang Yunfeng's fleet was a very strong one, but he would not risk his life for it. Even if they were defeated, he could still surrender, but he would not risk his life. Moreover, he did not think that Maacah could win. The war between the two superpowers was just a battle of attrition. As a commander, staying alive was the most important thing. It was just a game of power. Even if Maacah won, they would need a proxy, and it might even be a good thing for him. The days of the conservatives were getting harder and harder. With the decline of Cronos, it was only a matter of time before they were replaced. This war had given them an opportunity.
In this world, not everyone would consider the big picture. Quite a number of people only cared about their own interests, especially those in power.
Zhang Shan turned off the communicator when he heard the call from the fleet. He was not interested in being a small bodyguard. Zhang Shan had his eyes on a Planet-level warship of the enemy fleet. Generally speaking, only Heaven-rank warriors would have the guts to attack a Planet-level warship. Earth-rank warriors would be sending themselves to their deaths due to various limitations, but Zhang Shan was a fool.
Meng Tian was also commanding the fleet to attack, constantly adjusting the formation according to the enemy's firepower. However, Meng Tian discovered a serious problem. Under the pressure of the firepower, the coordination of the fleet was getting slower and more chaotic. This was completely different from the situation at the Milky Way Military College. The frequency of cooperation between the various warships was not as high as expected. Many warships had already fallen behind and started to fight on their own.
This was the current situation of the Solar System. Fortunately, the enemy was not Arbiter or Aslan. Otherwise, the Solar System would have been completely wiped out in one battle. The difference in battle power was huge.
Achilles and Lie Xin's warship commands were actually quite standard. Their advantage was that their status allowed them to execute their orders to the best of their abilities. However, they were not outstanding. Actually, Zhang Shan had misunderstood. It was not that Achilles and Lie Xin wanted to be commanders, but it was a request from their families. Space warriors were too threatening. Not only that, they were not Heaven-rank warriors. On the contrary, commanding of their families in the fleet not only boosted morale, but also accumulated prestige. Both were in the core fleet of Drachmach and Lie Family's most elite fleet commanders. This was the last pride.
It was just that this pride had not brought them any advantage since the start of the war.
Both sides had entered the most crucial stage of a stalemate. The Darkness Empire had made their move. Iyerta Sloughberg would not care about the casualties of the Maacah Republic. He could not wait for them to perish together with the Solar System. Of course, he also had to consider the situation of the war. The Darkness Empire was the most pragmatic. If they lost the war, they would not gain anything.
Once the Darkness Empire made their move, it was to completely change the direction of the war. The target of the Darkness Empire's attack was a group of "mobs".
This was the miscellaneous army led by Qiangsen. Even if it was a fierce battle, Iyerta did not ignore the Solar System. In such a battle of life and death, the Solar System's reformists were also determined. Therefore, he chose the place that was the easiest to break through, and used the collapse of this miscellaneous army to drive the rhythm of the entire war. Only when this fleet collapsed would it affect the other fleets, and there would be a breakthrough in their inner defenses.
Facing the assault of the Darkness Empire, Qiangsen did not panic at all. He knew his own fate, including the warriors under him. But these irregular troops, these ordinary warriors who fought with pirates all day, had incomparable determination. Once they exchanged fire, the difference in firepower caused Qiangsen's fleet to fall into a passive position. Qiangsen did not resist forcefully, but instead used their experience in fighting with pirates to start pulling back the formation. They were mainly light and agile warships. Although their firepower was weaker, their agility was not a problem. The Darkness Empire's lightning fast advance was delayed.
Drachmach took a deep breath of life-saving air. The entire battle situation was on his screen. It had to be said that the Darkness Empire's tactics were really "despicable". He almost thought that Qiangsen's fleet would collapse at the first touch, but he did not expect that this fleet, which was used to make up the numbers, would forcibly delay the reinforcement of the Darkness Empire's fleet.
"General Zhao Yunfeng, please support Qiangsen's fleet immediately. They can't hold on for long!" Drachmach said.
"Commander-in-chief Drachmach, we've also encountered fierce firepower here. We can't split ourselves. Moreover, Zhang Shan didn't listen to orders and acted on his own. This caused our space warriors to fall into chaos," Zhao Yunfeng said calmly on the other side of the screen.
Drachmach gritted his teeth in hatred. This was not cleaned up in time before the battle, and there were indeed many diehard supporters in the fleet. He was worried that moving a general before the battle would cause instability in the morale of the troops. But he regretted it. He should have taken him down. In the previous battle, he did not put in any effort. This battle was already a matter of life and death, but he still did not fight.
"Zhao Yunfeng, this is an order. Otherwise, you will be court-martialed!"
"Chief Commander Drachmach, don't use the court-martialed against me. This is not started by your Doyle family. You want my main fleet to give up on their own battlefield and split up to increase the number of cannon fodder troops. If my side collapses, can you bear the responsibility?!" Zhao Yunfeng retorted sharply, looking at Drachmach with contempt.
Drachmach was still far from being able to set up a trap. Regardless of the outcome of the battle, he would not reveal any problems with the procedure.
Drachmach's expression was cold. He could not get angry, nor could he waste his energy here. And the difficulty of being the chief commander was that he really could not do anything to Zhao Yunfeng at this time. If this person really retreated and caused the frontline to collapse, then the entire battle situation would be even more dangerous.
