Babawi Empire Capital Sphere, not far from the exit of the space channel, two huge fleets are approaching each other.

Although both fleets are very large, it is obvious that one of them is much larger. After all, 16 million warships are nearly five times as many as 3.3 million warships.

But the side with fewer battleships did not have any panic or fear, and marched forward without fear.

When the two sides approached 4 million kilometers, they launched artillery bombardments at the same time as agreed. However, at this distance, neither side could achieve much results, and the hit rate was pitifully low.

The key is that even if it hits, it will be difficult to destroy the enemy ship. After all, at this distance, if you want to hit the enemy ship with more than a dozen or even dozens of rounds at the same time, the probability of winning the lottery is no less than the probability of winning the lottery.

Generally speaking, when Level 4 Civilization's fleet engages in a battle, the casualties will increase exponentially only if the fleet is within 3 million kilometers.

The distance between the two sides continued to get closer with the fierce exchange of fire, and soon entered a range of 3 million kilometers.

Suddenly, the federal fleet made a move that was very puzzling to Babatena. Its array seemed to be disbanded, completely split apart, and the distance between them was very far.

When the Federal Fleet array changed, everyone discovered that the fleets on both sides had become equally large.

However, Babawi Empire's array is very tight, but the federal array is extremely loose.

According to normal logic, during an artillery war, the fleet must be relatively concentrated, which will be more effective.

After all, the hit rate is originally low, and it usually relies on a dense firepower network to make up for it, otherwise it will be difficult to cause effective damage to the enemy.

For a moment, Babatena didn't understand at all what the other party's commander was thinking!

Could it be that they want to adopt a loose formation to effectively avoid our bombardment and delay enough time for the warships to assemble behind them?

Well, nine times out of ten this should be the case. After all, the opponent has at least more than 30 million warships. Using more than 3 million warships as a price in exchange for the assembly time of its main fleet, from a tactical point of view, there is indeed no problem!

After turning it around in his mind for a few times, Babatena immediately figured out Lin Fan's intention, and became more and more sure that his guess should be the correct answer.

After thinking of this, the corner of Babatena's mouth suddenly raised a slight arc.

Don't you just want to avoid excessive losses in the artillery battle, and want to close the distance and engage in a melee, completely delaying yourself?

It's a pity that you don't know, what I'm best at is melee combat!

"Ignore the other party's changes and move on!"

"Yes, Generalissimo Babatena!"

Soon, the distance between the two sides had shortened to nearly 1 million kilometers. For Interstellar Fleet, this distance could already be considered a close combat, but it was not yet to the point of hand-to-hand combat.

Obviously, the artillery fire between the two sides has become more precise, and the hit rate has reached a high level.

However, Babatena's face began to look ugly.

"Babatena Generalissimo, what's wrong?"

The adjutant was very puzzled. After all, according to the data, the current situation was very good. The hit rate was completely at the level it should be, and the number of his own warships was five times that of the opponent.

Looking at it this way, it should only be a matter of time to completely annihilate the opponent's more than 3 million warships, and this time should not be too long.

But why does Generalissimo Babatena look so ugly?

What went wrong?

"You still haven't seen what's wrong?"

Babatena turned his head and looked at his adjutant with a look of hatred, as if to say, why is my adjutant so stupid?

After Babatena said this, the adjutant was a little confused and looked at the various data on the command terminal again.

No problem, the hit rate of the entire fleet is completely up to standard, so what is the problem?

"Look at the opponent's current total number of warships!"

Looking at the adjutant beside him who was still confused, Babatena said.

After being reminded by Babatena, the adjutant immediately looked at the relevant data of the enemy fleet in the command terminal.

"There are still 3,297,815 battleships, huh? 3,297,815? Wait."

The adjutant suddenly discovered something and read out the number of the opponent's battleships again in disbelief.

3,297,815 ships? The data scanned before the war started was 3.3 million, right?

That means that we have destroyed 2,175 of the opponent's warships after this is a big blow to the boss?

How is this possible? We are clearly five times as powerful as the opponent, and our hit rate is also very high. How could the opponent lose more than 2,100 warships?

The adjutant was completely confused now. He had to know that his side had destroyed 12,000 warships so far!

Is this a mistake? It would be normal if the battle losses of both sides were exchanged!

"Babatena Generalissimo, what on earth is going on?"

"All I can say is that the opponent's commander is a complete monster!"

On the other side, Federal Fleet array, inside the Uranus bridge.

"Fleets 172 to 178 immediately slowed down to a speed of 10,000 kilometers per second, and ten seconds later raised the bow 7 degrees to conduct three rounds of firepower projection!"

"Fleets 215 to 218, disperse immediately and gather again after one minute to reorganize the queue!"

"Fleet 28 to 35 turned 4 degrees to the right and sunk the bow of the ship 2 degrees. They fired with range coverage and carried out a one-minute firepower attack!"

"Fleets 99, 131, 135, 281 and 322 will retreat while performing irregular maneuvers. Feedback will be given when the shield value of the entire ship is restored to above 80%!"

In the entire bridge, all that could be heard was the uninterrupted command voice of Lin Fan, one command after another, constantly issued from his mouth at a very fast speaking speed.

At the forefront of the battle between the two sides, several squadrons suddenly slowed down, then slightly raised their bows, and immediately fired a wave of salvos!

But there was nothing in the direction they were shooting. If anyone was watching this war, they would definitely say, this is not random shooting!

However, at this moment, Babawi Empire's more than 200,000 warships began to maneuver towards this position. In conjunction with the arrival of the firepower of several federal squadrons, as if by appointment, these more than 200,000 warships also arrived at this position at the same time.

What happened next can be guessed. The Babawi Empire battleship group that happened to maneuver to this position was bombarded by this inexplicable salvo. Hundreds of battleships were immediately destroyed.

From a spectator's perspective, it would be better to say that the Federation squadrons shot very accurately, but it would be better to say that the Babawi Empire battleships desperately collided with the gunfire. This scene is really weird.

On the other side, a legion at the front of the Babawi Empire array saw the opportunity that the five federal fleets were concentrated in one area at this moment, and immediately ordered a dense array to launch a salvo to eliminate the 50,000 federal warships in front.

However, at the same time that the 300,000 warships of this legion launched a salvo, the 50,000 warships in front suddenly scattered without warning.

Most of the attacks on the Babavi warship using precise shooting failed. Only some scattered firepower from the Outer Domain side of the shooting area hit the dispersing warship. However, due to the lack of concentration of firepower, it was unable to break the shield and caused no real damage at all.

And while this Legion Commander was stunned, the eight federal squadrons on the other side had turned over and sunk the bow of the ship slightly by 2 degrees, and then there was a crazy firepower attack!

Because of this legion of the Babawi Empire, just now in order to kill the 50,000 federal warships in front, they changed the array into a super dense formation, and there was no room for evasion!

In this formation, 80,000 federal warships seized the opportunity and after a sudden fire attack, they immediately suffered heavy casualties, directly losing nearly a thousand warships!

Such weird scenes are happening all over the battlefield at this moment!
