Is the communication connected?

Arno was stunned for a moment, and then became a little excited.

This day, Arno's mood was really not very good.

It shows that a bizarre incident occurred in Sarna's fleet, resulting in the death of more than 40 billion warships and countless soldiers.

As a result, before I could recover, something went wrong on Yeripok's side. If the result was the same as Sarna's, it would definitely be a big blow to Arno.

What does the loss of nearly 100 billion main warships mean?

You must know that the total power in Arno's hands is only 300 billion main battleships. If nearly 100 billion are gone in one go, it will definitely be damaged, and it is estimated that the strength will not be restored in a few decades.

Therefore, since Yelipok Fleet lost contact just now, Arno has been very anxious, fearing that the same thing as Sarna Fleet will happen to Yeripok.

In fact, I have to say that Arno's premonition was quite accurate about that somewhat strange incident.

It happened again!

"Get the communication in immediately, quick!"

"Yes, General!"

Soon, the communication accessed through Dark Energy Network was connected to the bridge, and the figure of Yeripok was immediately projected out.

However, Arno, who was a little excited at first, suddenly had a bad feeling the moment he saw Yeripok.

After all, at this moment, Yeripok has the word "down and out" written all over his face.

"Yeripok, what happened?"

"General, we encountered the same situation as Sarna. In just a few minutes, more than 90% of the fleet was destroyed, and the remaining fleet was now surrounded and annihilated by the Brant Empire and the human fleet!"

"You said that more than 90% of your fleet is gone. Wait, who did you just say? The human fleet?"

When Yeripok said that more than 90% of the fleet was destroyed, Arno almost vomited blood. Just when he was about to get angry and curse Yeripok, he suddenly reacted. Just now

It seems to be talking about humans?

"Yes, General, judging from the emblems on the shells of the battleships in that fleet, it should be a human fleet, with a number of about 25 billion!"

"From beginning to end, don't miss any detail. Report it to me!"

Realizing the problem, Arno applied solemnly and ordered to Yeripok.

"Yes, General, our fleet arrived about 90 minutes ago as planned."

Soon, Yeripok described the entire process in detail, very carefully, without missing any details.

However, this narration made Arno's expression look ugly.

As expected, is this actually a human weapon?

No matter what Sarna or Yeripok said, they all have one thing in common, that is, an explosion was detected before the mutation occurred. Although the scale was not large and the energy level was not high, it happened just before the mutation occurred!

This is very suspicious!

Moreover, if this strange and large-scale bizarre death has nothing to do with humans, it is simply impossible to explain why the human fleet appeared to encircle and suppress the remnants of Yeripok just after Yeripok suffered heavy losses.

This is obviously part of mankind's entire battle plan!

"How long can you hold on?"

"If humans don't take action, I can hold on for more than 3 hours. Even if Hyperspace Interference successfully cracks it quickly, I can successfully retreat!"

"Do everything you can to hold the opponent back and hold on for at least four hours. At the same time, Hyperspace Interference, you must also speed up the cracking. This is related to whether the main fleet can enter the battlefield!"

"Yes, General Arno!"

While answering, my heart was full of bitterness.

Four hours. I just said three hours. I have already tried my best to think about the best!

According to the current situation, once the human fleet takes action, it is very doubtful whether it can last for half an hour, let alone four hours.

However, General Arno's order had to be carried out, so he had no choice but to comply.

After ending the communication, Yeripok began to think about it, what should be done to allow the fleet to persist for more than four hours?

"Order the fleet to abandon all offensive actions and focus all energy transfer on the shield!"

"Commander, what are you doing?"

"Shut up and do it now!"

"Yes!"

Unless Brant Empire's warships are skillfully reduced to less than 30 billion, otherwise, no matter how hard you fight, the number of enemy warships you face at the same time will always be 30 billion.

In this case, it would be better not to fight at all and just go all-out defense.

Three words, delay time!

And when all the warships in Yelipok Fleet shut down their weapon systems, and all the energy of the ship except for necessary systems such as life support were transferred to Dark Energy Shield, it was obvious that the warship's defense capability was more than doubled.

Previously, if twenty or thirty main gun-level attacks hit a Moy Union main battleship at the same time, the shield would be torn apart and the ship would be destroyed.

But at this moment, after receiving more than 90% of the energy supply of the entire battleship, it would take at least more than a hundred Brant Empire battleship main gun-level attacks to tear open its shield.

For a time, the battle losses of the entire fleet dropped rapidly.

Of course, if you get something, you will have to give something else. This is an eternal truth.

While the shield receives a powerful energy supply, the weapon system is completely shut down.

In other words, from this moment on, Brant Empire's fleet will no longer lose any warships, and the entire battlefield has changed from a fierce mutual consumption to a unilateral killing.

A unilateral killing of Eighth Order Technological Civilization against Ninth Order Civilization.

Although this is frustrating, I have to say that this strategy of Yeripok is quite effective.

Judging from the current situation, it will take at least ten hours for the Brant Empire fleet to annihilate them all.

Of course, the premise here is still

Humans will not take action!

But is this possible?

Obviously, this is not possible. After seeing all Yelipok Fleet turn to defense, both Aierfei and Lavoisier immediately realized that it must be because the other party contacted the main fleet after the communication interference was lifted.

At this time, it was relying on this method to delay time until the main fleet arrived.

Aierfei will never tolerate such a thing happening.

After all, both sides are carrying out Hyperspace Interference at this moment. If Yeripok is still not completely eliminated before Arno's main fleet arrives, then Aierfei will have to confront Arno's 200 billion battleships head-on.

And this

There is no chance of winning at all!

"Let Brant Empire's fleet retreat, it's our turn!"

"Yes, Commander!"
