Dauntless Fleet, this is a special fleet that enjoys the title of invincibility in the federation.
Since it was first established in Large Magellanic Cloud, it has never lost a single spaceship in battle, and not even a single crew member has been sacrificed.
But now, more than 100,000 battleships have been lost. Although this number is not even a scratch for the five cluster fleets, it is also an unprecedented first time in the entire history of Dauntless Fleet.
However, Sels Republic on the opposite side was even more uncomfortable. As they set off before Sallamo Republic, they suffered heavy losses in these ten hours, and the number of destroyed warships was close to the 5 billion mark.
But no matter what, the numbers and civilization levels are there, even if it is because there has not been a large-scale war for tens of thousands of years and the extremely unfavorable terrain in Current Mouth, a prototype of a bridgehead has been gradually established after a steady stream of support arrived.
At this moment, at the exit of the ocean current, Silas Empire's warships have gathered close to 100 million, and the casualties on Dauntless Fleet's side have also increased dramatically. From no losses in the first five hours, to the loss of more than 100,000 warships in the next five hours, especially in the last hour, the number of losses directly reached 80,000.
In order to deal with this situation, Lin Kexin had to order the fleet on the first line of defense to retreat to the second line of defense. At the same time, since the second line of defense was a full 2 AU away from the ocean outlet, Lin Kexin also invested the remaining three reserve clusters in this hemispherical encirclement that was many times larger.
The five galaxy clusters and a large number of fire support platforms immediately suppressed Silas Empire's counterattack, but this was only temporary. The rest depends on when Nether Fleet's support will arrive.
"Commander, I suggest using Zero-Point Missile to clean up the enemy's bridgehead!"
"It may not be effective, but you can try it. Prepare ten Zero-Point Missile and launch them at the same time!"
"Yes, Commander!"
Lin Kexin shook his head and then said.
After all, the new Dauntless Fleet was tested after being refitted, and the test results showed that Dark Energy Shield can completely withstand the bombardment of Zero-Point Missile. If you want to destroy a warship with Dark Energy Shield, at least five Zero-Point Missile will be bombarded continuously.
However, the opponent's warships are constantly arriving. Let's not say whether Zero-Point Missile has any effect. Even if it does, do you have to lose it for several days or even dozens of days in a row?
Even if the Federation currently has a lot of Zero-Point Missile reserves, it cannot withstand such consumption!
The most important thing is that people may not be able to resist forcefully. Not to mention the civilization on the opposite side, the Federation itself has several methods to prevent Zero-Point Missile. The simplest method is to directly interfere with Hyperspace Engine, so that you Zero-Point Missile does not even have a chance to fight!
"Commander, Zero-Point Missile is ready for launch, quantity 10!"
"Launch!"
"Yes, Zero-Point Missile has been launched!"
Ten missiles were instantly shot out of the belly of the new Luoshen, and after a short flight, the small Hyperspace Engine was launched and plunged into the blue Hyperspace Window.
At the same time, in the center of the Silas Empire fleet, in the bridge of a battleship that was obviously different from the surrounding ones, first-level general Willvis was looking at the tactical board with a solemn expression.
He arrived at Heres about five hours ago. It was precisely because of his arrival that the chaotic situation at Cyrus Fleet was finally ended, giving them unified command and gradually building a bridgehead at Current Mouth.
"Although the opponent has withdrawn 1AU, it can invest more warships in the encirclement, and the fleet does not need to be deployed as before. Overall, we will still be passively beaten for a long time."
Willvis's face was not very pretty. The intelligence errors led to a sharp increase in casualties, which far exceeded the original prediction.
Before setting off, Willvis, as the commander of the vanguard fleet, had already deduced that even if the seventh-level Biological Civilization and Eighth Order Technological Civilization were stationed together at Current Node, he was confident that he could easily win it and the battle damage would not exceed 1 billion battleships.
But now, the situation is completely different. This is not an eighth-level technological civilization. It is obviously a ninth-level civilization. Even if the opponent only has 5 billion battleships, it is impossible for me to completely win Heres without leaving behind tens of billions of battleships!
And this is based on the fact that the other party has no support!
"General, it is detected that the enemy has opened ten Hyperspace Window, the scale is micro!"
"Huh? No, shut down Dark Energy Shield immediately, switch to Phase Shield, and notify all warships except the outermost ones at the same time. Act quickly!"
Willvis suddenly thought of something, his expression suddenly changed, and he immediately yelled at the adjutant.
After all, they had obtained some information about their opponents from Purgatory. Naturally, they knew that humans had such things as Zero-Point Missile.
Although this kind of thing is no longer that big a threat to the ninth-level civilization, the problem is that now all the fleets of the Silas Empire are crowded together. If coupled with the intensive bombardment of Zero-Point Missile, Dark Energy Shield really can't withstand it.
The moment Willvis's vehicles had just switched to mutual shielding, ten Zero-Point Missiles had already sprung out of Hyperspace Window and exploded directly in the Silas Empire's fleet group.
The first one to be hit was the battleship that shut down Dark Energy Shield, but before it had time to activate Phase Shield, it was swallowed up by powerful energy in just an instant and turned into dust in the universe.
Then it was the turn of the warships on the periphery of the array that had not turned off Dark Energy Shield. After all, all warships could not turn off Dark Energy Shield. Otherwise, who would everyone have turned off to withstand the waves of human attacks?
Therefore, Willvis did not let the peripheral battleships shut down Dark Energy Shield from the very beginning.
Although Dark Energy Shield also has excellent defense against Zero-Point Particle energy, it cannot withstand the concentrated bombardment of too many Zero-Point Missiles. After a few seconds of resistance, the Dark Energy Shields on all battleships were destroyed one after another, and countless battleships were destroyed one after another.
In this wave, although there are no detailed statistics, at least 20 million warships were destroyed, which made Willvis, who was in different phases, almost bursting with tears.
It was clear that he had obtained intelligence early on that the other party had such weapons, but why didn't he respond in advance?
Is there nothing you can do?
No, I have at least ten ways to prevent this kind of human weapon in advance.
However, he did nothing!
At this moment, Willvis wanted to slap himself.
In fact, if I really want to say it, I still say the same thing. I haven't fought a large-scale war for a long time. In terms of experience in interstellar warfare, Silas Empire is still too lacking.
