If this was only the Federation's regular fleet, then even if the previous wave of attack could not wipe them out, it would at least cripple them.
After all, although the Gravity Cannon was only the predecessor of the Space Tear and was not a true space attack, it was enough to pose a threat to the Space Shield.
But the problem was with the Federation's fleet. This fleet that the Federation regarded as their trump card, this warship that used the Phase Shield!
Forget about the Gravity Cannon, even if a true space attack was developed, without the prerequisite of breaking the Phase Shield technology, it would not be able to cause any damage to the Fearless fleet.
"Order the Second and Thirteenth Fleets to retreat immediately!"
Looking at the gradually recovering data on the tactical board, Thatcher's face was filled with fear as he saw that there was no loss at all.
At this time, he finally understood that this was a trap from beginning to end!
Fortunately, he was careful and had the Second and Thirteenth Fleets delay the enemy by 0.5AU, so they had not yet entered the enemy's attack range!
In addition to the backup plan he had arranged in the rear, the hundreds of assembled Battleship Level Stargates, even if the enemy interfered with the Space Warp, the two fleets could safely retreat!
It had to be said that Thatcher had made a lot of preparations before the battle. He had even prepared an escape route.
However, at this moment, he still didn't know that not only did he misjudge the opponent's defense, but he also misjudged the opponent's attack range. He, who thought that a distance of two AU was already a safe zone, was destined to be beaten up again by society.
On the battlefield, under Thatcher's command, the Seventh Fleet counterattacked with all their might to buy more time for the Second and Thirteenth Fleets to retreat. But it was clear that all of their counterattacks did not pose any substantial threat to the Fearless fleet. All they could do was line up and wait to be executed. The only difference was whether the executioners could execute them longer.
Just as the Seventh Fleet was burning their lives to buy more time, the other two fleets had completed their turn and retreated at full speed. The Battleship Level Stargates that Thatcher had prepared were just 1AU behind them!

Fearless fleet, Second B Fleet's flagship, Luoshen.
"The third wave of attack is complete. The current annihilation rate of the enemy fleet is 39%."
"Targets No. 2 and No. 3 are retreating. They will be out of our attack range in 7 minutes!"
"A large number of activated stargates have been detected outside 3AU. They are located on the retreat route of targets 2 and 3!"
Inside the bridge, the command team was constantly reporting the latest battle situation. Based on this, Lin Kexin focused her attention on the two newly marked areas on the tactical board.
"Stargate?"
"Speaking of which, the other party is really cautious. Not only is he careful in his attack, he even prepared his escape route so well!"
"However, you still want to escape from me? Are you serious?"
Lin Kexin's face flashed with a touch of disdain. How could she let them slip away when the meat was already at her mouth?
However, Lin Kexin was not going to make a move now. She was going to give him a desperate blow when he reached the Stargate and was about to successfully escape!
It had to be said that Lin Kexin's bad taste was becoming more and more like Sofia's …
"Continue to attack the first target. Ignore the second and third targets for now!"
"Yes, Commander!"

The drastic changes on the battlefield were also transmitted to the council of the Italo Alliance.
The entire room was silent. Everyone's face was filled with fear!
In the previous year's war, they could still accept that their shooting range was not as good as the other party's.
But now, the other party had completely ignored their attacks. What could they do?
Even this group of council members who did not know anything about military affairs understood one thing at this moment!
They could not fight against the Federation at all. It was as if a high-level civilization was bullying a low-level civilization. They could not retaliate at all. They even felt as if a level-4 civilization was using their energy shields to bully a level-3 civilization, or a level-5 civilization was using their spatial shields to bully a level-4 civilization.
"It's over. It's completely over!"
"We can't even break through their defense. How can we fight?"
"Let's think of a way to negotiate with them as soon as possible!"
"Agreed. Even if we have to cede territory and pay compensation, it's fine as long as we can protect our civilization."
"Seconded!"
"Seconded!"
The council was in an uproar!
"All of you, shut up!"
"We are not at the end of our rope yet. What are all of you like?"
"Have you forgotten that we still have a trump card?"
Rathers's sudden roar caused many people to come to their senses.
That's right, we still have a trump card!
Although we can't beat them in terms of strength, don't we still have that thing?
"Now, I propose that we immediately activate the holy weapon and completely trap the other party's fleet!"
"Agreed!"
"Agreed!"
…
To Raisers, this was a gamble. If he won the gamble, he could obtain unlimited benefits.
As for losing the gamble?
That did not matter. Anyway, he still had a trump card that could still trap the other party's fleet!
Under the unanimous approval of the entire council, a command was quickly sent to a space base 700 light-years away in the void. Then, everyone stationed in this base, whether they were soldiers or scientists, all became busy.

Levis Star Region.
The Fearless fleet had already attacked the Seventh Alliance Fleet according to Lin Kexin's order. Wave after wave of space tearing attacks were released within their formation.
In just six minutes, the Seventh Alliance Fleet's losses had already reached more than 80%. It was only a matter of time before they were completely wiped out.
"Commander, target number two and target number three are about to arrive at the stargate evacuation point!"
"Lock onto all the stargates and destroy them completely!"
"Yes, Commander!"
More than ten seconds later, the Fearless fleet launched another wave of attacks at the Seventh Alliance Fleet. However …
Among them, hundreds of battleships were attacking in other directions!
-----
"General, there are still 40 seconds until the evacuation point for the Eighth Alliance Fleet!"
"Okay!"
Thatcher finally let out a sigh of relief as he looked at the red dot that hadn't moved from its original position on the tactical board.
The fleet would arrive at the stargate evacuation point in 40 seconds. Even if the other party chased after them now, it would be too late!
Although the Seventh Alliance Fleet was destroyed here, at least the Eighth Alliance Fleet and the Eighth Alliance Fleet were saved.
However, before Thatcher could relax for a few seconds, hundreds of dazzling white lights instantly rose in the area of the stargates, and then …
The entire void was torn apart …
