Major international authorities and media outlets were closely watching the clash between the Oya Cross Nation and Metadeng Nation fleet groups.
Many believed this was Oya Cross Nation's war of revenge against Metadeng Nation, repaying the debt from its earlier invasion.
With local Metadeng Nation reporters broadcasting live from the battlefield, Oya Cross Nation's High Zakus and Malasais suppressed the Raptors and Falcons.
Many military experts and staff officers from various countries were following and analyzing the battle. If Oya Cross Nation lost, as long as it was not a crushing defeat, it would still have lost with honor.
If the Metadeng Nation military lost, its international prestige would suffer greatly.
The gap in national strength between the two countries was immense: military, economy, technology, industry, and more. The only field in which Oya Cross Nation surpassed Metadeng Nation was medical technology.
Therefore, Metadeng Nation had to win, and at the very least, it had to win with some dignity.
On the battlefield, General Vladimir studied the current situation. In MS combat, their losses stood at 3:1; in naval artillery combat, they stood at 1.5:1. Their losses were greater.
Judging from the current situation, continuing the battle would only become increasingly disadvantageous for them. Since they had achieved decent results so far and their losses had not yet worsened, it was best to withdraw while they were ahead.
Just as General Vladimir was about to issue the retreat order, the radar operator reported, "General, the Skywing Mercenary Group has been detected."
General Vladimir immediately looked at the three-dimensional battlefield display. The Skywing Mercenary Group had deployed five fleets, the smallest at brigade level and the largest at corps level.
The five fleets—two corps-level and three brigade-level—attacked the advance fleet from five different directions.
