The Dion Army's stealth operations were countered by the Skywing Mercenary Group.
A United Army brigade-level fleet was pursuing a Dion Army regiment-level fleet.
"Order all warships to fire Beam Cannons while pursuing them. We cannot let them activate their stealth function."
Although the Dion Army's regiment-level fleet was smaller than the enemy's, in terms of military capability, a force of this size could have defeated a United Army brigade-level fleet.
However, the Dion Army had earlier been surrounded and attacked by several United Army fleets. Faced with an overwhelming numerical disadvantage, they had broken out at the cost of losing half their forces.
The encircling United Army had lost roughly ten percent of its forces, and one brigade-level fleet had been sent in pursuit.
The pursued Dion Army was now somewhat lost and panicked, because no matter where they fled, they might be intercepted by other United Army forces.
At this moment, they had only three choices: fight their way out, die in battle, or surrender.
Fighting their way out was their first choice, dying in battle was their second, and surrender was absolutely out of the question.
As noble citizens of the Dion Empire, surrendering to the United Army, whom they regarded as an inferior race, was the greatest humiliation. They would rather die in battle than surrender to such inferior people.
Suddenly, countless missiles and beams struck the Dion Army from another direction.
The sudden attack caught the Dion Army completely off guard.
Many warships had their hulls pierced by Mobile Drill Missiles, and quite a few of the pierced warships lost their ability to move.
Less than a hundred kilometers from the Dion Army fleet, the Cross Vanguard appeared, leading a Cross Vanguard Army fleet of twenty Irish Class ships.
