After Annie brought out the Gundam, there wasn't much suspense left in the battle.
What's more, Quill's fleet of dozens of warships had joined the fight, attacking from both sides and surrounding the enemy. With the Planetary Union holding an absolute advantage in both strength and numbers, it was only natural that the battle ended quickly.
Annie was rather unhappy that Gordon and Kelly had taken it upon themselves to call in Quill's people as reinforcements, interrupting her one-woman show and depriving her of quite a few kills. Still, the battle had ended, and the Planetary Union had won—though at a terrible cost.
It was reported that of the more than one hundred warships hurriedly assembled by the Planetary Union to defend Earth, over fifty had been directly destroyed by the Kaylon's mechanical warships. That was more than half the total.
Nearly every surviving ship was damaged, and the Orville was no exception!
The personnel losses, meanwhile, couldn't yet be calculated.
But the Orville had a crew of more than three hundred, so it wasn't hard to imagine that when the enemy quickly destroyed the Planetary Union's main warships—especially large cruisers and destroyers that carried hundreds or even thousands of people—not many had managed to escape in pods.
Perhaps...
Aside from losing more than fifty main warships, the Planetary Union had also suffered at least tens of thousands of casualties in this battle.
Fortunately, the enemy had suffered considerable losses, too. Aside from the five Kaylon warships that had fled in disarray, nearly a hundred terrifying warships of various sizes—capable of transforming and equipped with powerful weapons and shields—had all been destroyed in the solar system. Planetary Union scientists were now examining and studying their wreckage.
In short!
The Planetary Union had indeed paid a terrible price, but no matter
