Chapter 40
How Did They Do It?

Under the gaze of everyone in this fleet.

They saw the flagship of the Grizzly Fourth Fleet, the One-Eyed Wolf-class medium interstellar cruiser, explode directly, becoming a huge fireball in this starry sea.

“This...this...what the hell happened..." The captain trembled, his palms icy cold.

“Captain, that starship is heading towards us. We...what should we do!” The deputy captain exclaimed.

They saw that the starship was moving towards them at a not-so-fast speed.

Although it was not fast, this ship, which had just wiped out the flagship of the Grizzly Fourth Fleet, appeared in their eyes like a demon from hell.

“Retreat...retreat! Maintain a safe distance from this starship!” The captain immediately said.

“But...if we retreat from our current line of defense, it will be a violation of the task agreement with the Grizzly Fourth Fleet.” The female soldier next to her reminded her.

The captain directly scolded: “What task agreement are you still talking about now, didn't you see the flagship of the Grizzly Fourth Fleet being destroyed by it?

That's...that's a t2-level battle cruiser. In front of such a giant monster, our entire fleet wouldn't even be enough for it to have a sip!

Retreat, retreat, retreat immediately!”

Finally, under the captain's command, this fleet began to retreat quickly.

On the Storm-class No. 1 ship.

“Report, the fleet on the other side has already retreated. It doesn't seem to be the Grizzly fleet, it should be a mercenary fleet.” The female soldier reported from the side.

Captain Lorna sat back on her captain's chair.

“Just proceed at this speed. Commander Sun He said earlier that the Qingyuan will catch up soon. During this time, any starship that dares to approach us, destroy it completely.”

“Yes.”

Captain Lorna sat on her captain's chair, remaining silent, her expression complex.

“What’s wrong? Captain, you're not happy with this great victory in your first battle?” The deputy captain, who was organizing her work next to her, saw Lorna's expression and teased.

The other female soldiers on the bridge were also laughing and talking, changing the previous serious atmosphere.

“Awesome, our starship is too powerful.”

“I was so scared just now. I didn't expect the Storm-class No. 1 ship to be so powerful.”

“I love it, this defense power is just too good. When that round of fire attack came, I felt my heart was about to jump out.”

Captain Lorna took a deep breath and subconsciously said, “Get me a drink...”

The deputy captain was about to go and get it when she was stopped.

“Forget it, you can't drink while on duty.” Captain Lorna shook her head self-deprecatingly.

“Why didn't I see you being so disciplined when you were driving a mecha before? You wouldn't drive a mecha without wine back then.” The deputy captain teased.

The two were old friends who knew each other well. Otherwise, Lorna wouldn't have promoted her to be her deputy captain.

Captain Lorna shook her head and said solemnly: “This is different, before I was driving a mecha, it was just me. Even if something happened to me, it was only my own problem.

But now I'm the captain, I'm responsible for over 300 crew members on board the entire Storm-class No. 1 ship.”

The deputy captain looked at Captain Lorna with admiration, then took out a pack of cigarettes from her waist and handed one to Lorna.

“Smoking shouldn't be against the rules, right?”

Lorna took the cigarette, lit it, and took a deep drag.

“Captain, Deputy Captain, the combat report for the Storm-class No. 1 ship is out.” The secretary officer came out at this time.

“Say it.”

“In this battle, our Storm-class No. 1 ship destroyed fifteen starships, one One-Eyed Wolf-class medium interstellar cruiser, three Beetle-class light interstellar escorts, three Tiger-Rabbit-class light interstellar destroyers.

As well as one Black Raven-class light aircraft carrier, five Shell-class heavy interstellar escorts, and two Corner-Rabbit-class heavy interstellar destroyers.” The secretary officer said.

The deputy captain excitedly waved her fist: “Destroyed fifteen starships in our first battle, including seven t2-level starships, this is equivalent to the entire year's battle record of the Qingyuan fleet before!”

A slight smile appeared at the corner of Captain Lorna's mouth, but she still controlled her emotions: “Let’s talk about our situation.”

The secretary officer continued: “Overall energy consumption in the battle reached 70%, overall warship armor damage reached 65%, overall drone group losses reached 37%.

All 36 units of Storm missiles have been exhausted, and one of our anti-air laser cannons was damaged, and thirteen cannons at different positions were destroyed.

No personnel were killed, but due to the previous impact, thirteen people sustained different degrees of collision injuries and are being treated in the medical room.”

Hearing this kind of result, Captain Lorna stroked the screen in front of her captain's chair.

“Storm…you really are as powerful as a storm. With you, the Qingyuan fleet has a future.” Captain Lorna's gentle words were like talking to her child.

After ten minutes.

The Qingyuan-class light aircraft carrier and the Giant Turtle No. 0 industrial ship appeared behind the Storm-class No. 1 ship.

The fleet composed of three starships began to move outwards.

Along the way, many fleets discovered this Qingyuan fleet, which should have been eliminated in this "hunting" operation.

They left the storm circle unharmed.

Instead, the starships of the Grizzly Fourth Fleet were nowhere to be found. Later, news came from a certain fleet that they had witnessed with their own eyes the destruction of the flagship of the Grizzly Fourth Fleet.

This made these fleets dare not act rashly and could only watch helplessly as the fleet left.

After another half an hour, some fleets cautiously entered the star system range of MM1 planet.

At this time, they were shocked to find that there were dozens of starship wreckage there.

At a glance, it was clear that an extraordinary battle had taken place here.

Thinking back to the Qingyuan fleet leaving unscathed before.

Everyone who witnessed this scene had an unbelievable but undeniable fact in their minds.

In just half an hour.

The Qingyuan fleet wiped out the entire Grizzly Fourth Fleet!

After accepting this unbelievable fact, another question arose.

How did the Qingyuan fleet do it?
