In the void, all three Level 4 Civilization fleets have completed their evacuation.

However, the price paid is quite high!

The early battle losses plus the losses during forced evacuation resulted in more than 40 billion warships, accounting for more than 20% of the entire fleet!

These shocking data made Hain look very unhappy!

"Evacuate immediately and quickly distance yourself from the Zerg Warship array!"

"Yes, Commander Hain!"

Immediately, the entire fleet began to turn!

Of course, Hain will not let the fleet stay in place and turn, which will undoubtedly make its own fleet a fixed target!

Therefore, Hain finally chose to fly in an arc. The advantage is that it can keep the battleship at high speed, making it difficult for the Zerg to hit. The disadvantage is that the time required to turn will be increased by more than ten times compared to turning on the spot!

After all, if you want to achieve the turning effect by flying in an arc, you must make a large circle in the void.

Although it takes a long time, it is much safer after all, isn't it? Not to mention that now that the Zerg have just demonstrated the means to defeat Spatial Shield, Hain must be cautious, cautious, and cautious again!

The huge fleet advanced at high speed in the void, and its speed had reached 50,000 kilometers per second.

This does not mean that the speed cannot be increased, but that if you want to sail at the maximum arc, the speed of 50,000 kilometers per second is already the limit. If it is faster, the flight arc will not be within the acceptable range of Hain!

When Hain's fleet completed half of its arc turning action, the Zerg fleets had already completed their turns and started moving!

At this moment, Hain has not realized that he has made a mistake, that is, he completely underestimated the speed of Zerg Warship!

If you really want to say it, the problem is still the same, the extreme asymmetry of intelligence, coupled with the concealment of relevant information by the top management!

If the Big Four discloses all the details of the previous German-Austrian battle, then Hain will know that the speed of Zerg Warship is only slightly slower than the Level 5 Civilization battleship, which does not allow him to gain a large enough speed advantage!

Therefore, Hain did not take the risk of jumping directly behind the Zerg fleet. Instead, he stubbornly wanted to keep a safe distance before jumping, because he did not want to take a gamble. What if Zerg Warship turned quickly and turned around before his own fleet even jumped, and fired a salvo at himself!

Don't be kidding, I only have 500 million warships, and if I am shot at by 500 billion warships without any protection, even if I am not destroyed, I will definitely not be able to survive much longer!

So you can still choose to fly in an arc, but you can't say it's Hain's incompetence. You can only say that information is so important!

The Zerg Warship group, which turned the bow of the ship, once again began to shoot at the Hain fleet in a small area!

Immediately, Hain lost more than 2 million fleets, which made him heartbroken!

In more than a minute, after withstanding three waves of Zerg attacks, the fleet abandoned more than 5 million battleship wreckage, and finally drew a complete arc in the void, completing the need to turn!

"The fleet has maximum combat speed, leave immediately!"

"Yes, Commander Hain!"

Suddenly, the light in the battleship's stern engine became brighter, and all the battleships began to speed up this time. After just over ten seconds, the fleet had reached a speed of more than 80,000 kilometers per second!

"Commander, the maximum combat speed has been reached. The fleet speed is now 82,000 kilometers per second!"

"Very good, what about the situation of the Zerg fleet?"

Hain nodded and asked immediately.

"Still behind us, about 1.5 million kilometers away!"

"Huh? 1.5 million kilometers? That's not right. How come it's only 1.5 million kilometers?"

Hain was shocked. You must know that after he completed the arc flight, the Zerg were almost 1.5 million kilometers away from his own fleet!

Just now, the fleet has been speeding up until it reached its maximum battle speed. The time spent on the flagship was definitely more than half a minute!

The most important thing is that at the beginning of acceleration, the fleet's speed was already 50,000 kilometers per second. However, more than half a minute passed, and the distance was barely opened?

"Measure now. What is the speed of Zerg Warship?"

"Yes, Commander Hain is measuring and has completed the measurement. The speed of Zerg Warship is currently 80,200 kilometers per second!"

After hearing the adjutant's report, Hain suddenly stood up from the commander's seat, his face full of shock!

Speed 80,200 kilometers per second

What this means, Hain couldn't be clearer!

My own speed advantage is only 1,800 kilometers per second!

However, if you want to keep a safe enough distance from Zerg Warship, you need to ensure that Zerg Warship cannot bring itself into range within thirty seconds.

Then, after a simple calculation, Hain came to the conclusion that it needs to be driven away at least 7.5 million kilometers to ensure safe evacuation!

Originally, this was not a big problem, but now it is different. With a speed difference of 1,800 kilometers per second, it will take a full 55 minutes to open another 6 million kilometers, and within these 55 minutes, there will be at least 32 minutes where he will be continuously attacked by the Zerg fleet!

"Damn it! Notify the entire fleet that we will encounter continuous attacks from the Zerg fleet from behind within the next half hour. All warships will maintain their maximum combat speed and perform minimum and irregular maneuvers without interruption!"

"Yes, Commander Hain!"

The so-called minimum random maneuver refers to the use of auxiliary thrusters around the hull to perform micro maneuvers with minimum power without affecting the speed.

One wave, two waves, three waves

One minute, two minutes, three minutes

For Hain's fleet, every minute and every second is torture!

Finally, thirty minutes passed slowly.

After leaving behind the wreckage of nearly 200 million warships, the distance between the two sides was finally expanded to more than 4.9 million kilometers!

Once again, just one more attack and the fleet would be safe!

Hain stared at the tactical image in front of him with wide eyes, constantly confirming the distance between the two sides marked on it!

"Are you going to be escaped?"

"Sure enough, the number is still too small. Let's do this for now. After all my troops arrive, I will slowly take care of you!"

"However, the soldiers can escape, but the commander should stay forever!"

Hundreds of light years away, Helme began to issue the final order!

Suddenly, a large number of Zerg Warship firmly locked onto the fleet flagship where Hain was located! Even if there are a large number of battleships blocking the ray, it cannot hit directly!

The next moment, hundreds of millions of warships formed a medium-range hit and cover shot.

Tens of billions of Ion Beam covered a not-so-small area in the void, and flew towards the flagship where Hain was!
