From cannon fodder to sweeping across thousands of stars.

Chapter 440 The dust has settled
"General, all the attacking forces that broke into the enemy's asteroid fortress have lost contact. The last message sent back by the core attack team that Dr. Mephisto is a member of said that they were approaching the mission target, which is the fortress's data center, but now they are completely out of contact."

After hearing what the tactical information coordinator said, Major General Mueller knew that their mission was likely to have failed.

"Six psychic agents. The most capable one is about to break through to level five. Even if they are used as a combined assault force, they still can't break through the defenses inside the fortress?"

The voice of Major General Barak, the commander of the 23rd Fleet, came. Mueller couldn't help but shake his head after hearing it. At the beginning, he didn't expect that such an assault force would "turn over".

"This shows that the internal situation of this asteroid fortress is more complicated than we imagined, and its defense force is far beyond the pre-war analysis."

Major General Mueller paused, then continued to ask, "How long is left until the final evacuation time agreed upon with the Deep Diver?"

"Five minutes and twenty seconds left, General!"

After hearing this number, Mueller was just thinking about waiting until the final evacuation time and then deciding on the next specific move based on the situation, but the tactical information coordinator's next words made him nervous all of a sudden.

"General! The enemy asteroid fortress is adjusting its posture by rotating counterclockwise on its long axis. It is estimated that the fleet will face the 'red area' on the surface of the asteroid fortress in three minutes!"

The 'red zone' is a high-risk area on the surface of A-Bava-Ku that was demarcated based on reports from the military-industrial complex after the arrival of the 23rd and 24th fleets. The center of the zone is the 'gun muzzle' that can launch an attack on the fleet.

At first, Mueller and Barak did not quite believe it when they heard that the A.Bava Ku Fortress had launched some kind of attack and severely damaged the Corporate Combined Fleet of more than 1400 warships with two strikes.

But when they received the 'freshly-released' battle video from the other side and saw the green rays raging in the fleet, they had to believe it.

So when they heard that the fleet was about to come into contact with the dangerous "red area", the two fleet commanders panicked.

Because the two main fleets in their hands are of great use. If most of the main fleets are destroyed by unknown green rays, then the two of them don't need to go back to report and can just "drink the bullet".

"Is the other party planning to use this kind of 'fortress cannon' to attack us? Or is it just bluffing?" asked Major General Barak.

“I don’t know, but I don’t dare to bet on it.”

Major General Mueller sighed. He was under tremendous pressure. Even if he suspected that Atlas was bluffing, he didn't dare to gamble with his fleet.

"Let's retreat."
"Should we notify the combined fleet of the military-industrial complex?"

"No need, how much they can withdraw depends on their ability."

"I'll listen to you. After all, you are the commander-in-chief of this operation." Barak said without objection.

After hearing Barak's reply, Major General Mueller swallowed his saliva to moisten his dry throat, and then ordered loudly:
"All fleets, recover all HCPs and assault boats as quickly as possible, and adjust course to N7! Maximum speed, pay attention to the flagship signal! Prepare to execute a collective jump!"
-
"What happened? Why did the navy fleet turn to the other side?"

"Wait. Their speed is increasing. Damn! These bastards are running away!"

"What?! You just left us here like that and ran away without even saying hello?"

When the two Federation Navy fleets showed signs of preparing to jump and evacuate and were discovered by the fleets of various companies, the latter immediately exploded.

They never expected that the navy, who were expected to lead them to a comeback, would just abandon them and run away without a word.

A part of the Enterprise fleet was still hoping for the best, thinking that the Federation Navy fleet was adjusting its trajectory and posture, preparing to launch an attack from other directions.

But when the main propulsion arrays at the rear of all the warships of the two huge fleets almost simultaneously dragged out long wakes and began to accelerate at a speed visible to the naked eye, their last hope was on the verge of being shattered.

After less than three minutes of acceleration, the two fleets, which had reached the minimum speed requirement for "collective jump", began to jump without hesitation under Mueller's order. Under the gaze of the Enterprise fleet, the huge warships were instantly "stretched" into a line, and then disappeared in the space in the next second, leaving only the endless white light flashing in the distance - that was the characteristic of the ships rushing into hyperspace.

"It's over. This is completely sold out."

"We shouldn't have believed that these navy men would really come to support us!"

"I think the Navy, no, the federal government would like us to fight Atlas and both of us will lose?"

"Is the question 'two losers'?"

"."

After the two fleets of the Federal Navy left, the morale of the military-industrial complex fleet plummeted.

Many Enterprise fleets no longer cared about the lives of others at this time. The commanders of these Enterprise fleets ordered their fleets to withdraw from the battle and try to jump away.

They were actually a little confused before, as to why the Atlas fleet did not stop the Federal Navy's fleet from evacuating, and even let them leave.

But now, this doubt was solved when these corporate fleets also tried to evacuate. The three fleets of Atlas and the fortress defense firepower told them a fact - from the beginning to the end, Atlas' attack target had always been these corporate fleets.

Soon, the fleets that tried to withdraw from the battle came under fierce attack, and some of the more unlucky fleets were even chased and slashed by Amber with 'Excalibur'.

If they could continue to maintain their battle formation, they might be able to hold out for a while longer, but now that they have turned around and started to run away, they will be completely reduced to being beaten.
One warship after another was sunk by the concentrated fire from the Atlas side, and Amber was "roaming" in the fleet formation with a bunch of his minions. This "red devil" had become everyone's nightmare at this time, and even the warships responsible for air defense did not dare to concentrate on intercepting it.

Because those frigates, destroyers and even light cruisers that had become wreckage had taught them a truth: whoever used too much anti-aircraft firepower would immediately become the "first bird to stick out" and then be targeted by the "red devil".
"Hasn't the minimum speed requirement been reached yet?"

"Report, still missing"

"boom!"

As an elusive plasma torpedo hit the ship, the expanding high-temperature plasma fireball instantly engulfed the bridge and completely vaporized the personnel inside.

After discovering that the friendly destroyer was hit by a plasma torpedo, the other warships around it quickly discovered a large number of heavy armored combat boats attacking from a 15-degree heading angle of the fleet.

"No, I can't leave."

The commander of the Enterprise fleet shook his head as he looked at the large number of red dots approaching rapidly on the three-dimensional diagram, and finally said loudly as if he had made up his mind:
"Surrender! We surrender! Quickly fire three white flares and tell the other side on the public channel that we surrender and ask them to stop attacking!"

Like some kind of chain reaction, when three white signal bombs appeared in the warring universe, the second and third rounds followed.
After discovering the surrender of friendly forces, more and more Enterprise fleets chose to surrender decisively and quickly, as if they had put down some kind of "burden", and followed suit by firing three white flares representing "unconditional surrender".

"it is finally over"

After seeing this scene, Amber, Guterres, Van Fleet and others breathed a sigh of relief. After Amber ordered the unmanned fleet and Murat to continue attacking until all enemy fleets surrendered and were controlled, he suddenly drew a huge arc and rushed towards the direction of the A. Bava. Ku Fortress.

Lilith had told him before that the enemies who broke into the data center had been controlled and had also brought a big gift.

While being curious about the 'big gift', Amber also had a lot of questions that she needed to discuss with Lilith.
