As the Sun River Empire's fleet withdrew, the situation across the battlefield changed abruptly.
The Alliance, which had originally been suppressed, immediately launched a full-scale counterattack. Without the Empire's support, how could those Ninth/Tenth Order Civilizations possibly stand against the Alliance?
A one-sided slaughter immediately began!
At the same time, war was being fought just as fiercely in the Superclusters behind the Empire-controlled territories.
However, unlike in the earliest stages, when the Federation had taken advantage of the Empire's lack of preparation to suppress it unilaterally—
As more and more fleets withdrew from the front lines, the pressure on the Federal Fleet continued to grow.
However, Lin Fan had long anticipated this situation and was not anxious. He still had the fleets withstand the pressure and draw back even more Imperial fleets, thereby creating an opportunity for the Alliance army at the front.

Even the Sun River Empire, a Super Civilization, had never seen such a method of attack before.
But no matter how impossible it was to counter, they still had to charge forward,
