Chapter 145: Only Dodge, No Counterattack!_i

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

“Captain, this is bad, seventy thousand enemy warships have left the line…” “Fifty-five thousand warships are going after the vanguard legion, and another fifteen thousand warships have bypa.s.sed them, heading for Pluto…”

Looking at the screen filled with enemy warships, Moro felt overwhelmed.

In the plan given by Auda, there was no contingency for the enemy leaving their line.

The main reason was that when Auda woke up, the enemy’s warship speed hadn’t been revealed. In a much lower situation than them, leaving meant becoming easy targets.

But now, the speed of the enemy’s warships was comparable to theirs, making it difficult to destroy them easily.

After pondering for a moment, Moro commanded in a deep voice, “Send orders to the support units, let them take a detour. Let those fifteen thousand warships through, and let them focus on executing the plan…”

“Also, send orders to Seth to abandon their base, preserve their strength fully, and execute the plan as soon as the support units arrive…”

Not long after the orders were issued, someone reported, “Captain, the six fleets led by Seth have all left their station and have retreated…”

“Very good!”

Moro nodded in satisfaction, “This kid Seth is not bad!”

Even at light speed, it would take six and a half hours to reach from Pluto to the vanguard’s station. Seth had reacted as soon as their orders were issued, clearly thinking along the same lines as him and making a decision.

“Captain, if the support units disregard our orders, are we going to face those fifteen thousand warships alone, would it be…”

Moro paused for two seconds, then said, “Deploy a batch of robots, increase mining efforts, and defend the Pluto mining area before the enemy warships arrive…”

In just a few minutes, he understood the advantages and disadvantages of both sides. He knew that once they get closely tangled with the enemy’s fifteen thousand fleets, it would be difficult to mine.

As for annihilating the enemy, it would consume too much, and it also seemed unrealistic.

A day later.

“Boom ~!”

An asteroid was moving in s.p.a.ce when it was suddenly hit by a stray bullet. It exploded instantly, turning into countless fragments.

Not far from the asteroid was the 9th fleet, composed of ten warships.

At this moment, every crew member in the fleet was written with exhaustion on their face.

“Captain, our energy consumption is high. In just one day, ten warships have on average consumed 10% of their energy…”

“At this rate, we’ll die here before the support units even arrive…”

The fleet commander was overwhelmed and quickly asked, “How is the battle situation?”

“We’ve destroyed a total of 122 warships. The enemy ships still chasing us number 7878…”

“What about the other fleets?”

“They’re all more or less in the same situation. We have the fewest enemy ships chasing us. The fleet where Commander Seth is located is surrounded by tens of thousands of enemy warships…”

The fleet commander gritted his teeth, “Send the situation to the command ship, inform the other warships to conserve firepower, try to avoid battle…”

In the beginning, they were very enthusiastic in the fight. Despite being blocked and surrounded by the enemy, they continuously counterattacked, achieving significant results.

In one day, the enemy lost over a thousand warships, while none of theirs were destroyed.

It seemed like a big victory, but when comparing the number of warships on both sides and the remaining fuel reserves, they would be depleted within ten days at most.

“Commander Seth, the other five teams have sent messages, saying that the energy reserves are dropping fast, asking us to think of a solution…”

“d.a.m.n it, what can I do?!”

After a day of fighting, Seth, who had been excited at first, gradually became irritable.

There were just too many enemy warships. They were like mice, hiding and dodging. They had to avoid long-range attacks and calculate trajectories to prevent being surrounded by the enemy.

Milo, on the other hand, was much calmer, “You are the commander. If even you don’t know what to do, what about the others?!”

This fellow…

Seth’s teeth ached, but those words made him calm down.

Leaving the bridge to others, he pondered alone for a long time before speaking: “The support unit will arrive in 16 days. Given the current situation, we will run out of energy in 10 days at most…”

“Given the extent of the enemy’s pursuit and blockade, we have no way to get resources from planets to replenish fuel…”

“We can only think of ways to save fuel…”

At this point, Milo suddenly suggested, “Why don’t we sacrifice some shuttle ships and blow them up?”

Sacrifice shuttle ships…

Seth frowned slightly, pondering its feasibility.

The only thing that rea.s.sured them after a day was that the enemy’s attack was not strong. It seemed that their energy conversion system was still mainly nuclear fusion, and they had not used particle black hole mutation.

This also meant that enemy warships are unlikely to use particle singularity collapse.

Of course, they didn’t dare to be careless, always a.s.suming the enemy was disguising, maintaining a distance of over 500,000 kilometers.

“Calculate how many enemy warships we can destroy at most by sacrificing shuttle ships…”

Seth, in the end, could not resist this tempting plan.

Almost an hour pa.s.sed before he got an answer.

“Commander, according to calculations, one shuttle ship can destroy at most 100 enemy warships…”

“What?!”

Seth was shocked and somewhat incredulous. He quickly asked for clarification.

“It seems that the enemy’s warships are strictly following some command. Each fleet of 50 warships, whether pursuing or blockading, maintains a distance of 500,000 kilometers from us…”

“Moreover, the most frightening thing is that there is a distance of over 213,500 kilometers between their two fleets. This distance is just right for the enemy’s rear fleet to launch shuttle ships to intercept our shuttle ships…”

Milo began to count on his fingers, “One for a hundred, we have sixty now, which can exchange for six thousand enemy warships…”

“It’s no good, there are over fifty-three thousand enemy warships left. Even if we put all in, we can only destroy a part…”

“This is a premeditated attack by the enemy!”

At this point, Seth clearly understood that the enemy had deployed a combat plan specifically based on their situation.

“Fighting, we can’t finish them off, and we can’t escape either. What should we do now?!”

“Why don’t we retreat through the wormhole…”

The ship became chaotic, the crew members were somewhat panicked and began to talk loudly.

Seth took a deep breath, slowly saying, “Notify everyone to cease fire completely, from now on, only dodge, don’t counterattack…”

“What?!”

Milo looked at him in disbelief, questioning, “The enemy’s technology is clearly inferior to ours, and we just let them suppress us?!”

“What else can we do?!”

Seth reluctantly said, “Right now, preserving energy and saving fuel is the key…”

“We can only wait for the support unit to arrive, the day the plan begins…”

Seth was full of confidence in the captain’s plan, firmly saying, “Trust me, by that time, the Earth will be doomed, and this d.a.m.n Pangu civilization will be wiped out!”
