General Horst Strege now understood the enemy's intentions. The Emissary Titan warship's Doomsday Weapon barrage had been meant to blast a gap through the Galactic Empire fleet's formation.
In other words, the enemy commander's target was still him!
"Maintain evasive maneuvers! Assault formations, accelerate! The enemy Titan warship can't use its Doomsday Weapon now—give it everything you've got and blast it to pieces!" Horst Strege roared.
At the same time, he stared intently at the holographic tactical star map, pondering the enemy's strategy.
Clearly, the Kingdom of Dawn fleet had no spare strength to launch a surprise attack on him. Maintaining their current formation was already a remarkable feat.
After all, facing a Galactic Empire fleet with eight times their numbers, holding on this long was nothing short of a miracle. Of course, a miracle of engineering and science.
Before more Kingdom of Dawn reinforcements arrived, battlefield superiority remained firmly in the hands of the Galactic Empire fleet.
With that thought, Horst Strege began directing the warships of the other formations to redeploy and adjust their positions, restoring the fleet's fire network.
In interstellar warfare, warships were generally separated by dozens of kilometers. A so-called battle line was really a chain of warships able to cover one another and create overlapping fields of fire. When a gap appeared in that line, it meant that an enemy breaking through it would face less fire than at other defensive positions.
That was precisely the situation Horst Strege faced.
Then, he suddenly saw several ships moving within the Kingdom of Dawn fleet formation.
They were those black frigates!
The frigates had an exceptionally savage design, with black outer armor and sharp, angular edges, making them resemble terrifying crustaceans.
These frigates were ninety meters long and classified as heavy frigates. Whenever reinforcements arrived, a
