Chapter 1335 Star Sea (139)

Chapter 1335 Star Sea (One Hundred and Thirty-nine)

The headless Nether Dragon seemed to be cast into petrification magic, frozen in the void and motionless.

However, a bright purple light was emitting from its broken neck, and the light was getting brighter and brighter.

Wang Chen, who had just successfully beheaded someone, suddenly felt a creepy feeling.

Without thinking, he controlled the Ares mech to fly backwards, increasing the power of its four engines to the maximum!

At the same time, the Nether Warships and Ghost Fighters scattered around the Nether Dragon fled in all directions as if doomsday had come, and some even collided with each other.

The pilots of the Imperial Army also realized that something was wrong and began to retreat.

After just a few seconds, purple light spurted out from the entire body of the headless Nether Dragon, and then the entire body exploded.

This area of ​​airspace seemed to have detonated a billion-ton nuclear bomb. The shock wave generated by the explosion indiscriminately swept through both the enemy and our side who were unable to retreat, submerging them in an extremely violent energy storm.

Because Wang Chen reacted promptly and retreated the fastest, he avoided the first wave of impact from the Nether Dragon's self-explosion.

Although he was hit by the energy aftermath, he was able to withstand it thanks to the force field shield.

But many of his comrades died.

There is nothing we can do about this.

And with the fall of the Nether Dragon, the situation on the battlefield became more favorable to the Imperial Army.

Wang Chen took the opportunity to retreat into the engine room of the Glorious cruiser.

The missiles of the Ares Mecha have been used up and its ship-cutting sword has been damaged. These need to be replenished and replaced.

After the fierce battle, the Glorious suffered heavy losses, with its power and defense reduced by more than 25%. However, under the cover of many destroyers and frigates, it still poured powerful firepower on the Nether Legion.

Since the Iron Lion constellation's space fortress has no garrisoned Titan battleships, its firepower is the strongest, aside from a few large-caliber main guns in this fortress.

After a brief replenishment of ammunition, Wang Chen piloted the Ares mecha back into the vast space.

However, the battle situation at this time has completely tilted towards the Imperial Army.

The destruction of the Nether Dragon was undoubtedly a heavy blow to the Nether Legion, and the former's sudden self-explosion also dragged many of its fellow armed forces into the bottomless abyss.

The Nether Legion's casualties have exceeded one third, and more than half of the ghost fighters released earlier have been shot down. Not to mention destroying the space fortress and occupying the star gate, it is now a question whether they can go back.

The Nether Clan were not emotionless or fearless creatures. Realizing that failure was irreversible, they retreated to the star gate area, trying to use the power of the star gate to leap and escape.

However, how could the imperial army, which had already gained momentum, watch the remaining enemies escape safely?

A fierce pursuit battle begins!

Since the jump of the Nether Battleship requires time to prepare and will not succeed if interfered with, the two fleets of the Imperial Army launched a large number of space torpedoes into the star gate area.

These powerful space torpedoes are not aimed directly at the Netherworld battleships, but rather disrupt the stability of the stargate space through explosions, preventing the latter from jumping.

Facts have proved that this tactic is very effective. Except for a few Netherworld warships that managed to escape by leaping under the cover of their companions, most of them were completely destroyed in the encirclement of the Imperial Fleet.

Some of the Netherworld warships tried to rush into the Iron Lion star group and use the cover of the planet to escape.

But the Imperial Army had long been prepared for this move and divided its forces to sink them one by one, not letting a single ship escape.

The battle around the star gate ended after an hour.

Wang Chen returned to the Glory again.

He handed the Ares mecha over to the logistics personnel in the battleship for maintenance, and went to the main cabin on the upper level.

Although they had just won a great victory and almost wiped out an army of the Netherworld, few of the crew members of the Glorious cruiser had smiles on their faces.

Because in this battle, the 7th Fast Reaction Fleet suffered heavy losses.

Because of Wang Chen's status as a glorious noble and a dragoon pilot, he has the authority to retrieve combat data.

Understanding the losses is easy.

In this Star Gate Battle, the Seventh Fast Reaction Fleet, which came from afar, lost a total of five destroyers and thirty-seven frigates, and hundreds of assault ships.

As for the armed mechas, the battle losses exceeded four digits!

The total number of casualties has not yet been counted, but it is estimated that it will be no less than 70,000 - just the number of sacrifices!

Although the Glorious cruiser was largely intact, many of the pilots who took part in the attack did not return.

There were also some casualties among the crew.

In such a situation, how can we be happy even if we win?

After resting for a while in his cabin, Wang Chen uploaded his combat data through the internal network.

Each mecha of the Imperial Army is equipped with a dedicated recorder that can accurately record combat performance.

This is how merit is determined.

Wang Chen's greatest achievement was undoubtedly the Nether Dragon. Although the destruction of the Nether Clan's strongest weapon was not his own achievement, it was no problem for him to account for 60 to 70 percent of the credit.

This achievement alone is enough for Wang Chen to be promoted from major to lieutenant colonel.

Adding on the ghost fighters and Netherworld battleships he shot down, it would probably be no problem for him to level up twice!

Although Wang Chen didn't care much about it.

A few hours later, the reorganized 7th Fast Reaction Fleet completed the search and rescue mission and docked at the base of the Space Fortress.

Although the battle is over, there is still a lot of follow-up work to be done, and the Seventh Fast Reaction Fleet also needs to replenish warships and personnel.

But these things had nothing to do with Wang Chen, and he didn’t want to be “confined” in the fortress base, so he applied for a temporary leave.

The application was approved the same day.

So Wang Chen left the Space Fortress and came to Lionheart City, the capital of Iron Lion, for vacation.

Iron Lion is a very unique planet with life. Its land accounts for 75% of the planet's surface area, while desert Gobi and rust plateau account for another 75% of the land area. The habitable area is not very large.

But Iron Lion has extremely rich mineral resources. More than 98% of the currently known minerals can be found on this planet. Some special minerals have very high reserves and very good quality.

Therefore, the Empire invested huge manpower and material resources in the development of Iron Lion, which led to the booming economy of this planet.

The population of Iron Lion is only 2 billion, mainly concentrated in a dozen large and super-large cities, among which the capital Lionheart has more than 300 million permanent residents.

With so many people concentrated in one habitable area, overcrowding is inevitable, and the scale of the buildings is the largest and most densely packed that Wang Chen has ever seen.

Lionheart City can be called a super modern cyberpunk city! ——

The second update is sent.
