The last node of Seris Corridor, Serbia.
Now in the void here, various beams and energy bombs are flashing continuously, and the exchange of fire between the two sides is extremely fierce.
Originally, 200,000 Io Federation warships were struggling to block Star Path's exit, and another 100,000 warships were quickly rushing to the Star Path defense line, trying their best to prevent Viers from establishing a bridgehead at the exit.
However, Io Federation's defensive advantage did not last long. It was lost only when Viers Legion 50,000 warships were eliminated. After all, Serbia is not Horton. The Star Path between it and Seris is very wide, enough to support thousands of warships traveling at the same time.
Therefore, when it is impossible to completely clear out every wave of enemy ships that come, the enemy warships at the Star Path exit will accumulate more and more, eventually forming a solid bridgehead.
Once the bridgehead is formed, Viers can easily defeat Fifth Legion of Io Federation by virtue of its superior numbers and stronger battleships.
At the same time, Virtual Meeting Room.
"No, the other party has established a bridgehead at Star Path. I can only hold on for 2 hours at most."
Joanna had a bitter look on his face. The current situation was very clear. The opponent was going to launch a fierce attack regardless of casualties. This was what Joanna was most afraid of. After all, he could not compare with the opponent in terms of the number of battleships or the performance of the battleships.
Moreover, the most critical issue is morale. The defenders in Serbia have never heard the name Viers without changing their expressions. The title Seris Demon is not for nothing.
In addition, the other party has carved out a road of nine deaths from ten deaths, and all the battleships and soldiers have completely turned into desperadoes.
In this small Star Path exit, there are not many tactics to speak of. Once the offensive bridgehead is erected, everyone will compete to see who has more warships, who has stronger firepower, and who has a stronger will!
It's a pity that Fifth Legion under Joanna has all three disadvantages.
"Commander Joanna, I suggest you retreat and give up Serbia for the time being! You will get nothing if you spend all your Fifth Legion here! You will also lose the lives of many angels!"
Li Cangqiong looked at the Serbia Star Path tactical video shared by Joanna and said.
He can already see that if this situation continues, Fifth Legion is destined to be completely destroyed in the end, and at most it can only destroy 15 to 200,000 Viers Legion warships.
"Retreat? If I retreat here, the whole back will be a defenseless area!"
"Then, even if you persist for two hours before being completely wiped out, will it change the reality that the rear is defenseless?"
"This"
Joanna wants to refute, but doesn't know how.
He understands that what Li Cangqiong said is the truth, and if he continues to stick to it, he can't get anything or change anything!
Can Legion Commander, as Io Federation, let him run away as soon as the fight started? This is actually quite a bit.
"Commander Joanna, I remember that your battleship has some advantages over Oakes Empire's battleship, such as speed!"
That's right, although the battleship of Io Federation is significantly weaker than the battleship of the Oakes Empire in both attack and defense power.
But only the speed of the battleship is much faster than it, and can reach a speed of 8,000 kilometers per second. This speed is even 2,000 kilometers per second faster than the current Human Federation Snow Leopard-class Battlecruiser.
"What do you mean?"
At this time, a figure appeared again in the conference room. This was Queen Bella, the new angel of Io Federation, and Legion Commander Aierfei of the original Third Legion!
"Li Cangqiong, this is the current Queen Bella of Io Federation, Aierfei Your Majesty!"
"Hello, Aierfei Queen Bella Your Majesty!"
"No need to be polite. The situation is urgent now. This person just now seems to have the idea of breaking the situation, so please speak up quickly!"
Even though Aierfei became Queen Bella, he still maintained the style he had when he was Legion Commander, and Lei Li was popular.
"Okay, now Fifth Legion is defending Serbia. According to my estimation, it will be completely wiped out in two hours at most, and only about 150,000 to 200,000 warships of the Viers Legion can be destroyed. From a war perspective, this is very unwise."
"My idea is that Commander Joanna can use his speed advantage to decisively give up Serbia and retreat to the rear Star System when the opponent has established a bridgehead and his own advantages have been lost."
"According to Star Chart, there are two Star System connected behind Serbia, namely Hilsay and Mihorton, which are 0.2 and 0.3 light years away from Serbia respectively."
"Commander Joanna can lead Fifth Legion to retreat to Hilsay and re-establish the defense line. What Viers wants now is speed. His first choice target must be Hilsay, but to ensure nothing goes wrong, Commander Ailena can lead the fleet to set off for Mihorton immediately!"
"We are setting off for Hilsay. Of course, we may not be able to keep up with the speed. After all, it takes about 27 days to get to Hilsay from us!"
"But it doesn't matter. If Viers arrives at Hilsay before we arrive, then Commander Joanna can just use Star Path's advantage to kill tens of thousands more of his warships, and then continue to retreat when the other party establishes a bridgehead."
"Everyone needs to see our advantages, which are strategic depth, backup, and supplies!"
"And what about Viers? He can only advance all the way, with no rear, no supplies, and no support! There are only 500,000 battleships. Well, it should be 420,000 battleships now!"
"Therefore, don't fight hard. If the first line of defense doesn't work, use the second line. If the second line doesn't work, use the third line. In fact, even without us, just Fifth Legion can use the speed advantage and the initial advantage of Star Path's defense to eat up Viers Legion bit by bit."
Li Cangqiong finished talking about his tactics in one breath. In fact, his strategic thinking is very simple and direct. Since his side has depth, and every Star System has the initial defensive advantage of Star Path, why not take advantage of it?
When you have a defensive advantage, destroy tens of thousands of the opponent's warships, then quickly retreat, continue to deploy the Star Path defense line at a node, and rely on depth to eat the opponent alive.
By doing this, even if you don't get it, Third Legion of Io Federation won't get it either. Fifth Legion alone can consume Viers Legion!
And since Seris was lost, the entire Miracle Star Domain has become a high-risk star field. Most people here have evacuated long ago. For decades, few angels have been willing to immigrate to this star field, so there are not many people at all, and even the trouble of large-scale evacuation of people is saved.
The most important thing is that what Viers wants now is speed, to break out all the way as fast as possible, so he has no time to waste on destroying planets.
For Io Federation, it was just a matter of giving up some territory in a short period of time, and taking it back after a few months, without much actual loss.
After listening to Li Cangqiong's words, Aierfei pondered for a while and then spoke to Joanna!
"Commander Joanna, as Queen Bella, I order you to immediately lead Fifth Legion to retreat to Hilsay and rearrange the Star Path defense line!"
