After witnessing the durability of that interstellar battle cruiser, the Marsalian commander initially didn't care.
Because he still had a squadron of interstellar fighters, a full two hundred T2 Locke-class interstellar fighters!
Interstellar fighters were the best means of attack against this kind of starship.
And the enemy's interstellar fighters numbered only thirty.
It was truly pathetic.
This very thought was completely overturned in less than three minutes.
The Marsalian commander watched as his T2 Locke-class interstellar fighters were turned into fireballs one after another under the attack of the enemy fighters.
He felt his heart bleeding.
These were the latest interstellar fighters newly procured by his kingdom!
But in front of those black fighters, they were like thin paper, being shot down and destroyed one by one.
Yet, not a single enemy fighter had been lost.
“Cough… ” The Marsalian commander coughed up blood in his agony.
“Commander… according to… according to our estimates, these interstellar fighters… should be T3 level.” The secretary officer said cautiously.
“Of course I know these fighters are T3 level! What I want to know is, why, why didn't you tell me before!” The Marsalian commander roared, grabbing the secretary officer’s collar.
The secretary officer answered timidly, “Because we don't have information on this type of fighter in our database.”
“No! Again, no! There was no information on that interstellar battle cruiser, and now there's no information on this fighter either. Tell me what's in your database!” The Marsalian commander punched the secretary officer in the face, venting his anger.
The secretary officer fell to the ground, his face bleeding.
He quickly changed the subject, saying, “Commander, I… I think the most important thing now is to request support from other fleets.”
The Marsalian commander remained silent for a moment. He, the commander of sixteen starships, would have to call for support from other fleets just because of two enemy starships.
If this got out, he would be laughed at.
He hesitated for a full minute.
In this minute, an unknown number of Marsalian drones were shot down, and nearly one-third of the Locke-class interstellar fighters were slaughtered by the Xiaolong-class fighters.
In addition, one starship was destroyed, and two were heavily damaged.
“Issue the order, get them to come here!” In the end, the Marsalian commander abandoned his pride and sent a distress signal.
The other two fleets, upon receiving the distress signal, immediately organized their fleets to rush to the scene.
But because of the Marsalian commander's self-righteousness, he wasted nearly ten minutes.
And these sixteen starships, he led them all to their graves.
Twenty minutes after the battle began.
When the last En Yu-class light interstellar cruiser protecting the Sast-class medium carrier was destroyed.
The Marsalian commander collapsed onto his chair, his eyes glazed over.
He looked at the interstellar battle cruiser across from him, its hull damaged in several places, but still standing strong, and at the enemy's interstellar fighters surrounding it, not a single one lost.
He uttered his final words.
“What… what kind of monsters are you?”
Boom!
A huge firework appeared in the cosmos.
“Report, the enemy flagship, the Sast-class medium carrier, has been destroyed by our Storm-class battle cruiser No. 1’s main gun!” The voice of Captain Rona reached the bridge of the Qing Yuan behind her.
The entire bridge erupted in cheers.
“Woohoo, we wiped out the enemy again!”
“Hee hee, and we haven't lost a single sister!”
“This fight was too easy.”
Captain Sun He scanned the bridge.
The voice of Vice Captain Tang Yuan rang out at this moment, “What are you all doing, the battle is not over yet, and you're celebrating here!”
The respect for Tang Yuan instantly silenced the entire bridge.
Tang Yuan looked towards Captain Sun He.
Sun He glanced at the time.
“The mission was completed successfully. Let Storm-class No. 1 go to the Giant Turtle Zero industrial ship for a simple repair and resupply.
All Xiaolong-class fighters will also return to the hangar for resupply.
We still have another battle to fight, we must restore our condition as quickly as possible in the shortest possible time.” Sun He said in a serious tone.
“Understood.” Tang Yuan nodded and began to arrange a series of tasks.
And the Giant Turtle Zero industrial ship and two Squirrel-class supply ships, receiving their orders, emerged from behind a distant satellite.
The supply ships began to transport various strategic materials to the starships.
The Storm-class No. 1 docked next to the Giant Turtle Zero industrial ship, the two starships were of different sizes, the Giant Turtle Zero industrial ship was nearly ten times larger than the Storm-class No. 1.
The Giant Turtle Zero industrial ship extended its mechanical arms and began to perform emergency repairs on the Storm-class No. 1's damaged hull and gun positions, while simultaneously replenishing the Storm-class No. 1's missiles.
“Qing Yuan is estimated to take thirteen minutes to complete resupply. Storm-class No. 1 will need twenty minutes to complete some important repairs and ammunition replenishment.” Secretary officer Qiao Rongrong reported.
Tang Yuan ordered, “Release all unmanned reconnaissance drones, report immediately if any enemy ships are detected!”
“Yes!”
At this moment, everyone on the Qing Yuan fleet was holding their breath, if they encountered an enemy attack at this moment, it would be the most dangerous time for the fleet.
The radar operators carefully monitored every little movement on the radar system, afraid of missing anything.
The female soldiers on the Giant Turtle Zero industrial ship were also working as fast as they could to increase their operational efficiency.
Time passed, minute by minute.
Ten minutes later.
The Qing Yuan had completed its resupply, and the two supply ships began resupplying the Storm-class No. 1.
The eighteenth minute.
The unmanned reconnaissance drones reported that they had spotted the Marsalian fleet, and were heading towards them, expected to arrive in a maximum of six minutes.
“Giant Turtle Zero industrial ship, this is the Qing Yuan bridge. You have three minutes left, after three minutes, no matter how much you have repaired, you must evacuate!” Tang Yuan commanded in an unquestionable tone.
A few minutes later, energy reactions began to appear on the starship's radar, one starship after another.
“All interstellar fighters take off, prepare for battle!” Tang Yuan gave the order.
Qing Yuan hangar
Qi Bing, after a short rest, sat back in her fighter cockpit, watching the cockpit cover slowly close, and the fighter was sent to the lift position.
Flying an interstellar fighter was extremely tiring, the previous fight that lasted nearly half an hour was equivalent to doing a whole day's physical work.
Although there were now things like drones, drones were cheaper to produce and did not require a pilot.
But in terms of combat performance, so far no drone could compare to an interstellar fighter of the same level.
This was also why interstellar fighters had not been eliminated and were still being heavily used.
“Vice Captain, Captain! One of our reconnaissance drones spotted another fleet, and was destroyed a few seconds later!”
A sudden message reached Sun He and Tang Yuan.
“Another fleet? Is it from the Marsalian kingdom?” Sun He asked with a frown.
“No, this is footage captured by the reconnaissance drone before it was destroyed.”
A video clip and a few pictures were displayed.
Tang Yuan saw the starships in the footage, immediately enlarged the position of the hull, and could see a white flower-like emblem.
“This is the fleet of the White Chrysanthemum star system?” Tang Yuan looked surprised.
