After all that, it turned out the enemy had concentrated fire on destroying every Hyperspace Interference Device not because reinforcements had arrived, but because they wanted to retreat.
Bonifacio immediately "realized" it.
"Admiral, should we notify the frontline fleets to deploy more interference devices and delay their retreat?"
The adjutant asked uncertainly.
However, all he received in response was Bonifacio's fierce glare.
"Are you stupid? Even if you keep deploying interference devices, they can keep destroying them. Once you've exhausted every interference device the fleets are carrying, how much longer can you hold them back?"
"One day? Or two? At most, we'll destroy another ten or twenty billion of their warships. And that's only if both sides continue wearing each other down. What's the point?"
"Wouldn't it be better to let them retreat, then once our entire army has entered the Milse Supercluster, we can make their territory bloom from within?"
"Order the frontline fleets not to deploy any new Hyperspace Interference Devices for now. Provide the enemy fleet with a safe environment to withdraw!"

At the same time, in the Milse Supercluster.
"Vice Commander Wang Hai, it has been confirmed that all of the enemy's Hyperspace Interference Devices have been destroyed!"
"Good. Have your frontline fleets activate their Hyperspace Engines and withdraw immediately. I'll deploy the Doomsday Bombs simultaneously on my end!"
"Understood!"
Lumbard nodded and immediately issued the withdrawal order across the entire defensive line according to plan, ordering them to ignore enemy attacks and their own casualties.
Although the fleets across the entire line had long been prepared and immediately deactivated their Dark Energy Shields before activating their Hyperspace Engines, both sides had been attacking each other without pause. Quite a few warships were directly blasted apart after deactivating their shields and being left defenseless.
