"How long will it take for Aurelia's fleet to arrive?" Jiang Fei asked.
"We haven't established contact with the main fleet yet!" Clark's words poured a bucket of cold water on Jiang Fei. Although the influence of stellar radiation had caused some interference in communication, the inability to establish contact also meant that Aurelia's fleet was at least outside this star system.
"It seems that I can't count on her to act like a beauty saving the hero …" Jiang Fei frowned and prepared for the worst.
"Marshal, the enemy is about to catch up with us. Should we turn around and set up a formation?" Clark asked.
At this time, Griffin's fleet was about to enter their range. If they continued to move forward, they would inevitably be exposed to the enemy. At that time, they would be chased by the enemy. In this case, it was better to turn around and fight. At least when they were attacked, they would still have the ability to fight back.
"Hmm …" Jiang Fei pondered for a moment. If they turned around at this time, although they could fight the enemy, the difference in strength between them and the enemy was too great. Fighting was almost equivalent to suicide.
"Do I have to do it?" Jiang Fei's brain calculated quickly. Based on the current situation, it seemed that there was no other way to protect the fleet under his command except for his own tyrannical strength to hold the enemy back.
"Marshal! Lady Aurelia has sent a message. They have arrived in this star system and will enter the stellar gravity well in about fifteen minutes! "At this time, Clark came with exciting good news.
"Fifteen minutes?" Jiang Fei's eyes lit up. To be honest, with the growth of his strength, although he had the strength to fight an entire fleet alone, the more this was the case, the more unwilling he was to slaughter a fleet with his own strength. It was as if there was a force guiding him, telling him that the more slaughter he caused with his own hands, the closer he was to the abyss of destruction.
So now, apart from unscrupulously attacking the "player" fleet, Jiang Fei was not willing to destroy the enemy's battleships with his own hands. After the "player" battleships were destroyed, there would not be any casualties. The only "deaths" would be a few "players," and they would not really die.
However, on a normal battleship, even a small frigate had hundreds of crew members. If it was a main ship, the crew members would be in the hundreds of thousands. So, if a fleet was destroyed, the casualties would be in the millions!
"Everyone, stop advancing! Turn around and prepare to face the enemy!" Since Aurelia's fleet would arrive in ten minutes, he had nothing to worry about.
Although there was a huge disparity in strength between them and the enemy, with the enemy's fleet being three to four times their own, wanting to destroy a fleet of four to five hundred warships in less than ten minutes was simply a pipe dream!
"Yes! My Lord! " Clark immediately relayed Jiang Fei's order to the entire fleet. The Empire's warships immediately turned around and arranged themselves in a blocking formation, waiting for the enemy to arrive.
…
"Sir, they're not running anymore!" At this time, the Rebel Army's fleet also noticed Jiang Fei's movements.
"It's better if you don't run anymore! Charge all main cannons! Prepare to attack! "Griffin ordered.
"Yes!" Following Griffin's orders, the entire Rebellion Army fleet was ready for battle. They charged their main cannons as they advanced. Once the enemy was within range, they would avenge their comrades who had been killed by missiles and air mines.
"Entering firing range in four seconds!"
"Entering firing range in three seconds!"
At this moment, the officers and soldiers in Griffin's fleet were counting down in their hearts. On the one hand, they were avenging their allies. On the other hand, the honor of killing the enemy's Marshal was waving at them!
…
"Marshal, the enemy is about to enter firing range. Should we take the initiative to attack?" Clark asked. After all, the Empire's Army's range was not as far as the Rebellion Army's. The enemy used light beams or pulse weapons, while the Empire's side used cheap automatic cannons.
In this way, if they were to passively defend, they would fall into a passive situation.
"There's no need to attack. Tell the Brown Bear fleet in front to turn off their weapon systems and supply all their energy to the shield," Jiang Fei ordered.
"Yes!" Clark nodded. Obviously, Jiang Fei wanted to use these Brown Bears as sandbags. These Heavy Cruisers with rough skin and thick flesh could indeed withstand a lot of damage.
"Let the Star-class Robot Cruiser in the middle release nanomachines now and prepare to repair the Brown Bears!" Jiang Fei's second order was also issued.
"Grand Marshal, let us charge!"
"Yes! It's so frustrating to be beaten like this! "
…
Soon, the captains of the Brown Bear fleet began to communicate and request to fight. As the main force of the Empire's Army, they had always been at the forefront and almost fought with the enemy warships in close combat. Now that they were asked to stay in place as sandbags, of course, they were unwilling.
"Carry out the order!" Jiang Fei's face turned serious. They were currently in the star's gravity well, and the speed of the ships was greatly affected. Although it was possible for the Brown Bear fleet to rush into the enemy's formation with the Annihilator II engines, the problem was that the Star-class Robot Cruisers behind them could not keep up.
These Starships were not moving very fast. Under the influence of the star's gravity well, their speed was even slower. It was impossible for them to catch up with the Brown Bear fleet with the Annihilator II engines activated. By the time they arrived at the battlefield, the Brown Bears would probably have been killed.
However, if the Brown Bear fleet held their position, although their automatic cannons could not kill the enemy at all, with the timely maintenance of the Starships, they could hold on for a long time. With these Brown Bears blocking the firepower in front, the warships behind were safe.
And at this moment, Jiang Fei was not without an advantage over Griffin. At this time, Griffin's fleet had exhausted all its Antimatter under the star's radiation. Apart from using conventional main cannons to attack, they could not use any other weapons. As for Jiang Fei's fleet, although the Antimatter of other ships had been depleted, the Dunov-class Battlecruiser had a lot of inventory. After it turned on the quantum magnetic field, the Starships could use its Antimatter energy to drive robots to repair the damaged friendly warships. Jiang Fei's Martha-class Dreadnought and those Javelin-Class missile frigates could also serve as firepower support.
"Boom boom boom boom …" As soon as they entered the firing range, the Rebellion Army fired their cannons. All the ships' main cannons were roaring, including the auxiliary cruisers, which were also using their less powerful main cannons to attack. Because their antimatter had been exhausted, they had no auxiliary abilities. Now, the role they could use was not even as good as the heavy frigates.
