Nether Dragon, who had lost his head, seemed to have been cast into petrification magic and was frozen motionless in the void.
However, its severed neck area emitted bright purple light, and the light became more and more intense.
Wang Chen, who had just been beheaded successfully, suddenly felt a creepy feeling.
Without thinking, he controlled God of War Mecha to fly backwards, increasing the power of the four engines to the maximum!
At the same time, the Nether Warship and Ghost Fighter scattered around Nether Dragon fled in all directions as if the doomsday was coming, and some even collided with each other.
The pilots on the Imperial Army side also realized that something was wrong and retreated one after another.
After only a few seconds, the headless Nether Dragon sprayed out streams of purple light from all over, and then exploded.
This airspace seemed to have detonated a 10-gigaton nuclear bomb. The shock wave generated by the explosion swept across both the enemy and ourselves who were unable to retreat, submerging them in an extremely violent energy storm.
Wang Chen reacted in time and retreated the fastest, thus avoiding the first wave of impact from Nether Dragon's self-destruction.
Although he was swept away by the energy aftermath, he relied on Force Field Shield to survive.
But his comrades sacrificed a lot.
There is nothing we can do about this.
Due to the fall of Nether Dragon, the situation on the battlefield is more biased towards the Imperial Army's side.
Wang Chen took the opportunity to retreat into Radiance Cruiser's cabin.
God of War Mecha's missiles have been burned out, and Ship-Slaying Saber's missiles have also been damaged. These need to be replenished and replaced.
After the fierce battle ahead, the Glory suffered considerable losses. Its power and defense dropped by more than 25%. However, under the cover of many destroyers and frigates, it still poured powerful firepower at the Nether Legion.
Since Iron Lion Star Cluster's space fortress is not stationed at Titan battleship, apart from several super-large-caliber main guns in this fortress, it has the strongest firepower.
After a short period of ammunition replenishment, Wang Chen drove God of War Mecha into the vast space again.
However, the battle situation at this time has completely tilted towards the Imperial Army's side.
The destruction of Nether Dragon was undoubtedly a heavy blow to this Nether Legion, and the sudden self-destruction of the former also dragged many of the same kind of armed forces into the bottomless abyss.
The battle damage of the Nether Legion has exceeded one-third. The previously released Ghost Fighter was shot down more than half. Not to mention destroying the space fortress and occupying the star gate, whether it can go back now is a question.
Nether Race is not a life form without emotions and fear. Realizing that the outcome of failure is irreversible, they all retreated to Star Gate Area, trying to escape by leaping with the power of the star gate.
However, how could Imperial Army, who had already exerted his momentum, watch the remnant enemy escape safely.
A fierce pursuit begins!
Since Nether Warship's jump requires time to prepare and will not succeed once it is interfered with, the two fleets of the Imperial Army dropped a large number of space torpedoes on Star Gate Area.
These powerful space torpedoes do not directly target Nether Warship, but interfere with the stability of the stargate space through explosions and prevent the latter from jumping.
Facts have proved that this tactic is very effective. Except for a few Nether Warship who managed to escape by leaping under the cover of their companions, most of them were lost under the encirclement and suppression of the imperial fleet.
Some Nether Warship tried to rush into Iron Lion Star Cluster and use the cover of the planet to escape.
But Imperial Army had long been on guard against their attacks and used his strength to sink them one by one without letting any one escape.
The battle around the Star Gate came to an end after an hour.
Wang Chen returned to the Glory again.
He handed over God of War Mecha to the logistics personnel in the battleship for maintenance, and went to the main cabin on the upper level.
Although they had just won a big victory and almost wiped out all the Nether Legions, few of the Radiance Cruiser crew members had smiles on their faces.
Because in this battle, Seventh Rapid Response Fleet suffered heavy losses.
Because Wang Chen is Glorious Noble and is the pilot of Dragon Rider, he has the authority to retrieve combat data.
Understanding losses is easy.
In this Stargate battle, Seventh Rapid Response Fleet who came from afar lost a total of five destroyers and thirty-seven frigates, and Assault Ship lost hundreds more.
As for the armed mecha, the battle losses exceeded four digits!
The total number of casualties has not yet been calculated, but it is estimated that it will not be less than 70,000 people - just the number of sacrifices!
Radiance Cruiser Although it was generally intact, many of the pilots who launched the mission failed to return.
The crew also suffered some casualties.
In such a situation, how can one be happy after winning?
Wang Chen uploaded his battle data through the internal network after resting for a while in his cabin.
Each Imperial Army mecha is equipped with a dedicated recorder, which can accurately record the results.
This is used to determine merit.
Wang Chen's biggest achievement is undoubtedly Nether Dragon. Although it was not his alone that destroyed Nether Race's strongest weapon, it is no problem to account for 60-70% of it.
This alone is enough for Wang Chen to be promoted from major to lieutenant colonel.
Coupled with the Ghost Fighter and Nether Warship he shot down, it is estimated that there will be no problem in even two levels!
Although Wang Chen doesn't care much about this.
A few hours later, the reorganized Seventh Rapid Response Fleet completed the search and rescue work and docked at the base of the battle fortress.
Although the battle is over, there is still a lot of follow-up work, and Seventh Rapid Response Fleet also needs to replenish battleships and personnel.
But these matters had nothing to do with Wang Chen, and he didn't want to be "confined" in the fortress base, so he applied for temporary leave to the superiors.
The application was approved the same day.
So Wang Chen left the battle fortress and came to Iron Lion Star's capital Lionheart City for vacation.
Iron Lion Star is a very unique Life Planet. Its land accounts for 75% of the planet's surface area, and the Gobi Desert and Rust Plateau account for another 75% of the land area. The habitable area is not very large.
But Iron Lion Star is extremely rich in mineral resources. More than 98% of the currently known minerals can be found on this planet. Some of the special minerals have very high reserves and are of very good quality.
Therefore, the empire invested huge manpower and material resources in the development of Iron Lion Star, which led to the booming economy of this planet.
Iron Lion Star has a population of only 2 billion, mainly concentrated in a dozen large and super-large cities. Among them, the capital Lionheart City has more than 300 million permanent residents.
With so many people living together in a livable zone, crowding is inevitable, and the scale of the buildings is the largest and densest that Wang Chen has ever seen.
Lionheart City can be called a super modern cyberpunk city! ——
