"Charge the main cannons! Fire at will! "Alexis gave the order as soon as the main fleet completed its warp jump.
The main cannons on the battleships lit up brightly. These battleships were much more powerful than the patrol boats. Alexis's main fleet included a heavy cruiser, which was Alexis's flagship. There were also seven cruisers, twelve destroyers, and forty-three frigates.
In front of such a huge fleet, a mere dozen or so frigates were not even cannon fodder!
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! Alexis's main fleet fired a volley of cannons, and in the blink of an eye, the Trade Federation's remaining ships were reduced to nothing more than fireworks.
"All ships, recharge the main cannons!" Alexis gave another order.
…
"Damn it! Where did they get so many reinforcements?! "The Trade Federation had also noticed Alexis's main fleet.
"Sir, what should we do? Should we continue to attack the enemy's fortress? "the adjutant asked the Trade Federation's fleet commander.
"No, if we continue to move forward, we will be surrounded by them. Turn around immediately and destroy this fleet!" The Trade Federation's commander ordered.
"Yes, sir! Sir! " The huge Trade Federation's fleet immediately began to turn around. Since the Valsalrians' fortress was not mobile, they did not have to worry about being attacked after turning around.
…
"Sir, the enemy has turned around. Should we attack and harass them?" At this time, the Valsalrian officer in the fortress was also facing the same choice.
"No, we need to rest and reorganize. Lord Aino's reinforcements will arrive soon. We don't need to worry about these cannon fodder!" Said a very fat Valsalrian officer. This guy was the commander who gave the order to Alexis. The Lord Aino he mentioned was the high-ranking officer of the Valsalrian army who had lost his son.
"Yes, sir!" The Valsalrian soldiers immediately stood their ground and watched as the Trade Federation's fleet turned around and crushed Alexis's reinforcements.
…
"Sir, they're coming for us." At the same time, Alexis also noticed the enemy's movement.
"Don't worry, all ships' main cannons are overloaded and continue to recharge!" Alexis stared intently at the dot on the radar, his hands clenched into fists.
As time passed, the Trade Federation's fleet was getting closer and closer to Alexis's fleet. Alexis's fleet had only been traveling for a few minutes. If they returned now, it wouldn't take long for them to reach Alexis's fleet.
Alexis's fleet might be strong, but the problem was that the enemy's fleet was even bigger. There were eight heavy battleships in total, and their firepower and defense were far superior to the cruisers under Alexis's command.
"Now! Attack! "Alexis immediately gave the order when he saw the fleet of the Trade Federation was about to enter their range.
Boom boom boom boom … In an instant, ten thousand cannons fired in unison!
"All ships, turn off the cannons and activate the warp engines! Coordinates XXX, XXXX, XXX, warp immediately! " Alexis's second order came right after. All the ships shut down their main cannons as soon as they fired, diverting all their energy to the warp engine.
…
"Damn it! Why are they so desperate? " The commander of the Trade Federation was stunned. The Valsalrians had fired at the critical point of their firing range. If the Trade Federation's fleet continued to charge forward, they would definitely be hit.
"Fleet, slow down! Focus on the engine compartment!" With no other choice, the Trade Federation could only fortify their defenses to avoid being hit by the enemy's firepower.
Although the Trade Federation's fleet was shaken by the bombardment, the Valsalrians' attack was too far away. By the time it reached the Trade Federation's fleet, it was already at the end of its tether. On top of that, the Trade Federation's fleet had also strengthened their shields, so they didn't suffer any damage.
While the Trade Federation's fleet was slowing down, Alexis's fleet activated their warp engines. Wormholes opened, and the fleet entered them. No one knew where they were going.
"Damn it! These guys are really fast! " The Trade Federation's commander felt terrible. He thought that the main cannons hadn't been charged because he had ordered to strengthen their shields. It was too late even if he wanted to fire now!
"Sir, what should we do? Should we calculate the enemy's warp path? "asked the Trade Federation's navigator.
"There's no need. Don't fall for their trap. Let's go back and destroy that Bastion. It's not going anywhere!" The Trade Federation's commander sneered. He thought that he had seen through the Valsalrians' trick and that they were trying to lure his fleet away. He didn't know that Alexis was really going to run away after the battle.
The Trade Federation's fleet turned around to attack the Valsalrians' Battlestar again. By then, Alexis's fleet had warped to a relatively safe area.
"Send a battle report to the army immediately. Tell them that the 13th Division has arrived at the war zone. They fought bravely when our comrades were besieged and led the enemy's main force away. Even though they were outnumbered, they destroyed 19 of the Trade Federation's frigates at the cost of 22 patrol boats. In the end, the 13th Division returned safely after our comrades were safe!" Alexis immediately sent a message to the army.
"Is that even possible?" Jiang Fei was dumbfounded.
As soon as he entered the Domini System, Jiang Fei had seen how the Valsalrians were scheming against each other. First, Aino's men used Alexis as cannon fodder. Then, the garrison fleet did nothing to save Aino's men. Finally, the plot was reversed. Alexis actually kicked the Trade Federation's ass and ran away.
Now, Alexis was asking for credit from the army, but the Battlestar was in trouble. As the saying goes, a monk can run, but the temple can't. Alexis had taken advantage of the situation and ran away, so the Battlestar was in trouble. How could they not vent their anger on it?
However, whether the Battlestar would be destroyed or not was none of Alexis's business. After all, the Battlestar and its fleet belonged to Aino's men. If they dared to use the Battlestar as cannon fodder, they had to be prepared for the consequences.
"Godfather, what do we do next?" asked Sarila.
"Cut off the long-range communication and enter the asteroid belt. We'll rest for three days before coming out." Alexis knew that Aino must have been driven mad by him. If he didn't stay away for now, Aino would definitely give him a mission that would definitely kill him.
