The formation of the Republic fleet was formed with the four cruisers flipped around with their bellies facing forward, while the other cruisers formed a claw formation around them, providing cover fire for the four cruisers that were in a strange position.
This strange formation left General Trench extremely confused. "What are the Republic's fleets doing? Exposing the bellies of the battleships like this is equivalent to sacrificing the firepower and mobility of the battleships, so they can only passively take a beating? "
Deity Fox said in a low voice, "The four Hunter Class cruisers that they placed at the very front, with their bellies facing us, are the ones that were heavily damaged in the previous battle. Furthermore, there is no air resistance in space, so even if they use this posture to propel themselves forward, their speed won't be that slow! Their target is our flagship, this Rukri Hook-class battleship! "
General Trench touched the chelicerae at the corner of his mouth and asked, "I don't quite understand, is there a connection between the two?" His other two hands were holding the pointer, and the other two were operating on the holographic screen, switching between the various areas of the battlefield, imprinting the situation of the entire battlefield into his mind. This action made Deity Fox grumble in her heart. How nice it was to have six arms.
Deity Fox replied, "The speed and firepower of the Hunter Class cruisers, including their armor and shields, can be said to be very strong and balanced. However, there is a weakness that can't be considered a weakness, and that is that the landing platform of this type of cruiser is set on the top of the ship, and not on the side like our Confederation warships. Therefore, when the Space Combat Jet takes off from the Hunter Class cruiser, it is often not able to accelerate to its maximum speed, and it is very easily affected by friendly fire, while the enemy's firepower can easily cover the area where the Space Combat Jet takes off. "
This was the advantage of knowing the plot in advance. In the plot, Anakin Skywalker used this strange tactic to force his way to the enemy's flagship and then launch a surprise attack. Although it was not used during the battle of Kristovsis, it was obvious that due to the intervention of the Guardian planet, under great military pressure, he came up with this tactic in advance.
Although this tactic was strange, it was actually very effective. Later on, during the era of the Galactic Empire, the last general of the empire, General Thrawn, also used this tactic. It was said that he learned it after interacting with Anakin, who had already become Darth Vader at that time. It could be said that if Deity Fox did not know the tactic, she would not have been able to react to it.
General Trench was indeed a famous general, he understood immediately. "That's why they flipped the battleship around so that they could use it as a shield to protect their Space Combat Jets from taking off! Also, we will not be able to see it when it takes off! Tsk tsk tsk tsk. "
"That's right! So if I'm not mistaken, the four Cruisers have all been taken off. If I'm not mistaken, the four Space Combat Hunters are all Space Combat Cruisers. I, God Four, I, Cruisers. II, III... They're prepared to sacrifice these four cruisers and force their way to our flagship. Then, all the fighter jets will rush out from behind the warships and directly attack our flagship!!

"We found a magnetic anomaly at coordinates 337.452. But we can't pinpoint their exact location. We have to wait for them to show themselves before we can lock onto them," the Combat Robot said.
Deity Fox ordered before Trench could say anything. "Use the secondary cannons to fire at the target area! Then send two squadrons of Vultures to that direction and fire indiscriminately to force the Space Combat Jet out! "
"Actually, isn't it better to attack with missiles?" Trench turned around and asked.
Anakin Skywalker was most likely on the Space Combat Jet, and they could not afford to shoot him down. Deity Fox answered in her mind. She shook her head. "I have my reasons. Let's focus on the Space Combat Jet for now!"
Trench did not ask. He looked back at the holographic screen and shook his head. "If that's what they're planning, then there's nothing we can do. Tsk tsk tsk. The Space Combat Cruisers are sturdy, and their shields are strong. With our firepower, it will be difficult to destroy them before they even get close. And if it wasn't for your warning that allowed us to discover their Space Combat Jet, this wave of attack could have wiped us all out. Tsk tsk tsk. "
"They know that we don't have enough Space Combat Jets, so they're using this method to force us to exchange firepower. They can also take advantage of the Rukri Hook-class Battleship's weakness to fighter jets. I can only say that Anakin Skywalker is a genius. "Deity Fox sighed." So what should we do now? "
Trench tapped his pointer and said, "Since the Space Combat Jet has the absolute advantage, and their commander is not a weakling, we can only retreat. Move the fleet to the moon of Planet Christophsis, into the shadow of Lexis, and maintain a military presence. "
Deity Fox nodded. "Maintain a military presence? Brilliant! Since the Republic is in a hurry to reinforce Christophsis, once we retreat from the blockade, they won't be able to take care of both front and back. On one hand, they are afraid of our undamaged fleet, and on the other hand, they have to protect their ground forces from landing on the planet. This way, their mobility will be affected! "
"Indeed. But if that's the case, the greatest pressure will be transferred to our ground forces. If your intel is correct, the Republic's reinforcements include two main corps, and together with other units, they have a total of 100,000 soldiers. Our 200,000-strong robot army will not be a match for them. Tsk tsk tsk tsk … "Trench said.
"Don't forget where our advantage lies, General Trench. The core of the Republic's army is only the three million clone soldiers. The rest are temporarily recruited natural soldiers. There are many of them, but their combat power is almost negligible. Just our Planet Protector alone has an army of 60 million robots! "
At this point, Deity Fox was somewhat proud. She raised two fingers and said, "So, we have to do two things now. First, let the Rukri Hook-class Battleship return to Planet Protector from another direction and load more land forces. Second, let the land forces that landed on Christophsis give up on attacking Topen, and turn to fight in the cities that they previously occupied! Don't worry about one thing. Our T-2 battle robots are on a completely different level from the Trade Federation's B-1 battle robots! One is a robot, and the other is a mechanical lifeform! "
"Then let's do that! Tsk tsk tsk tsk. " General Trench nodded. Immediately, all the battleships began to turn and flew towards Planet Christophsis' moon, Lexis. As they had already prepared to turn and retreat at any time, the retreat of the Confederation's battleships was orderly, not leaving any opportunities for the Republic's fleet.
