As the Lyra fleet was rushing toward the Planet Thirteen, strange sounds began to emerge from the massive fleet behind it, which had been transformed from three fleets into a single Great Fleet 10.4 million ships.

These messages were transmitted between the flagship and the various warships via the fleet's internal communication system.

"Immediately send a message to the base, instructing all Material Science experts and scientists, and clearly informing the administrative center that Earth's alloy technology far surpasses our imagination, and hoping that they will temporarily put aside other matters and fully cooperate with all departments in the analysis and research of that alloy."

I hope to see these alloys on our armor on the new batch of warships. This is a matter of life and death for our civilization, and I hope they will stop their infighting. Tell them that time is life; every fifteen minutes we delay mastering the technology to manufacture that alloy means another soldier will die.

"But Your Great Commander, the great scientist Bullo said before that the specific manufacturing details of that alloy technology might be wrong. This Earth civilization has obviously been planning this for a long time, and they would never tell us the real alloy technology."

"I know, but this is something scientists should consider."

"Yes, Your Great Commander, now let's..."

"Continue to accelerate the pursuit of the Earth civilization fleet! The cunning Earth civilization has abandoned the Twelfth Planet, and we cannot spare a fleet to guard it here either. It is meaningless because their main defensive point has always been the Planet Thirteen that has begun to produce resources."

Earth's civilization's fighting power exceeded our expectations. We didn't expect their armor to be so strong, which led us to make the wrong decision to divide our fleets and encircle them.

But this time, we cannot afford to make another mistake, or we will truly find ourselves on the defensive. This hateful Earth civilization will be able to establish a foothold on the Planet Thirteen and then engage in a tug-of-war with us in space, which is not what we want.

"The Great Commander -Chief is right. Sigh... Who would have thought these creatures covered in yellow fur would be so cunning? They're clearly a powerful Level 3 Civilization, yet they disguised themselves as a Level 2 Civilization to trade with us. We shouldn't have ambushed their returning fleet halfway; we should have secretly followed them."

"No, that's looking back at the decision in hindsight. Given the circumstances at the time, the strategy of plundering them was correct. The mistake was that these despicable individuals from Earth's civilization were so Fearless of Death; faced with a dead end, they chose to self-destruct their warships—something many other Cosmic Civilizations wouldn't do. By the way, where is the extragalactic warship cluster?"

"The Fourth Warship Fleet has arrived here. However, Great Commander, according to the plan, the Fourth Warship Fleet's primary mission is to strike the Earth civilization's fleet that was previously hiding in the Void. According to intelligence, that fleet is currently heading towards our First Planet Base. If that fleet is of similar strength to the fleet we just dealt with, then our First Planet Base probably won't be able to hold out for long."

"No major problem, the Fourth Warship Fleet should be able to make it in time."

"So, regarding the matter at hand, Great Commander, shall we simply pursue them like this?"

"Of course not! Immediately notify the Third Warship Fleet to extricate Wu Ersala from its engagement with the Earth Civilization's Planet Thirteen Defense Fleet at all costs, then turn its fleet around and launch a pincer attack on us. Heh, isn't the Earth Civilization fleet trying to pincer attack our Third Warship Fleet with their defense fleet? We'll retaliate in kind and see who pincers whom!"

"Clear!"

In the eyes of the Great Commander, since the Earth civilization had been able to successfully break free from his fleet at the cost of 100,000 warships and then launch a surprise attack on his squadron, why couldn't he do the same?

The Earth civilization's warships are indeed more powerful, so sacrificing a few more to cover the rear is acceptable. Besides, the Third Warship Fleet consists entirely of Unmanned Warship, so he doesn't mind losing more ships, as long as the mission is accomplished.

He had also seen from the previous battles that while the Earth civilization's warships had strong armor, they were not so powerful as to be indestructible. As long as he used his advantage in Nanotechnology to engage them in close combat, and with his numerical advantage, he could still achieve good results and would definitely not suffer the same casualty ratio as before.

Communication is faster than navigation, so the actions of the Third Warship Fleet Interstellar Transaction Market fleet were observed even before the Lyra fleet arrived at the battlefield. At the same time, the North Sea fleet also transmitted the same message to the Lyra.

Because the North Sea warship group was on the battlefield, its information was more accurate than that obtained from observations of distant stars by the Lyra.

It is said that the enemy's fleet has spun out about a million warships, which have formed a defensive posture in space, while their main force has simultaneously turned around and headed towards the Lyra.

Its fleet size is estimated to be around seven million ships.

In other words, during this period of fighting, the North Sea battleship group only destroyed a little over one million enemy warships.

According to public intelligence information from the command system, the North Sea naval group also lost approximately 500,000 warships in the process.

Despite both being Unmanned Warship coordinated by Strong Artificial Intelligence, the North Sea warship group only achieved a 1:3 kill ratio. Based on this ratio, if this continues, the enemy's ten million warships would be enough to destroy the North Sea warship group's three million warships.

Of course, the outcome of a war cannot be simply calculated proportionally, and this casualty ratio will change with the formulation of various tactics and the changes in the coordination strategies of various warships.

Therefore, judging from the current overall battlefield situation, although the human side Xiao Sheng, they still failed to gain an advantage overall.

Faced with the changes in the Third Warship Fleet of the Interstellar Transaction Market, the Lyra had no other choice but to hope that the North Sea warship cluster could break through the warships that were carrying out the rearguard mission as soon as possible, and then join forces with it to launch a pincer attack on the enemy.

On the other hand, the fleet of the Interstellar Transaction Market, whose Great Commander is also pinning his hopes on their Third Warship Fleet, hoping that they can get rid of the entanglement of the North Sea warship group as soon as possible, so that they can launch a pincer attack on the human Lyra warship group.

Lyra battleship group could certainly turn around at this point, altering its course to circle in space before rendezvous with the North Sea battleship group, doing so would mean losing the four-hour time advantage.

Oh no, with the movement of the Third Warship Fleet of Interstellar Transaction Market, the time difference is now less than four hours.

The situation was rather dire; the Lyra battleship group had just finished slowing down when it ran head-on into the Third Warship Fleet of the Interstellar Transaction Market.

At this moment, the North Sea fleet had just broken through the rearguard warships' defenses. They needed to accelerate and sail towards the Lyra for about twenty more minutes before they could launch a pincer attack with the Lyra warship group.

The Great Fleet behind the Lyra battleship group arrived here around the same time.

The Lyra battleship cluster, which was originally scheduled to arrive at the battlefield of the Twelfth Planet from the orbit of the Planet Thirteen in just thirty minutes, was forced to slow down ahead of schedule due to the actions of the Third Warship Fleet in the Interstellar Transaction Market.

Therefore, at this moment, the location where the two warship groups meet is actually somewhere in space between the orbits of the two planets.

Judging from this result, Yue Yuan's objective of a pincer attack can be said to have been achieved, or it can be said to have been achieved, just as the tactics devised by the Great Commander of the Interstellar Transaction Market were.

Because if nothing unexpected happens, the two sides' warship formations will, in about half an hour, form a pincer movement in space.

Both sides' naval formations will be embroiled in a chaotic battle.

Obviously, this is bad for humanity.
