In the bridge, Wang Hai had not spoken since he ordered the Federation to close the defense line and place the two Netherworld attack groups behind the defense line.
Wang Hai asked as if he didn't care anymore.
This made the adjutant very anxious.
After the defense line was closed and backed by the Black Cavity Passage, they could avoid the problem of the lack of military strength to a large extent. At the same time, they could avoid being surrounded from all directions.
However, the problem was that with such a close distance and the hemispherical encirclement, the effectiveness of the Dark Energy Absolute Barrier was directly reduced, and the loss of the warships was constantly increasing.
In just five minutes of battle, the Netherworld Fleet had lost hundreds of thousands of warships. Although most of the warships were only retreated to the rear because of the damage, the loss of personnel was not that great.
However, if this continued, even if the Zilun Empire's fleet was repelled, the Netherworld Fleet would not have a good time.
Moreover, who said that this was the entirety of the Zilun Empire's support fleet?
"Commander, according to the data, the energy disorder caused by the Star Core's energy eruption has gradually recovered. In about 30 seconds, it will return to a relatively stable value."
"In other words, after 30 seconds, the space interference device can be reactivated, right?"
"Yes, Commander."
"Adjutant, immediately order the two Netherworld attack groups behind the defense line to activate the hyperspace engine and head over here."
After hearing the report, Wang Hai's eyes lit up. The opportunity he had been waiting for had finally arrived. He then pointed at an area on the Void Star Map and said to his adjutant.
"Commander, this is …"
"Execute it immediately. The fleet only has 30 seconds to complete this deployment. No, it only has 25 seconds now."
"Yes, Commander."
The adjutant finally reacted. Only then did he remember that when Wang Hai ordered the two Netherworld attack groups to stay behind the defense line, he had already ordered them to maintain the hyperspace engine in the active state.
As long as the navigation coordinates were in place, the ten billion warships could directly leave. Moreover, with the protection of the other fleets on the outside, they did not have to worry too much about being attacked when entering the hyperspace.
In just a few seconds, tens of billions of blue hyperspace windows opened behind the defense line. The two Netherworld attack groups suddenly disappeared behind the Federation's defense line, and when they reappeared, they were already behind the Zilun Empire's fleet.
The situation changed from being completely surrounded at the entrance to being attacked from both inside and outside.
Don't underestimate these 10 billion battleships. During the encirclement, Wang Hai had only relied on 7 billion battleships to resist for five minutes. Although the battle losses were great, it was still a one to ten ratio.
And this was under the situation where they were unable to use it because they were surrounded.
But now, the ten billion Netherworld Battleships were behind the Zi Lun Empire's fleet. They didn't need to maintain the super dense formation, nor did they need to worry about attacks from multiple directions. They only needed to attack like crazy under the protection of the Dark Energy Absolute Barrier.
On the one hand, the Federation's attack power had increased by several levels. On the other hand, it also created a huge psychological pressure on the Zi Lun Empire.
Face-to-face combat and being surrounded were two different concepts.
For ordinary soldiers, they wouldn't understand the difference in strength between the two sides. All they knew was that they were being attacked from the front and back.
This kind of pressure and panic would cause the combat power of these soldiers to be greatly reduced in an instant.
Of course, this was not unsolvable.
After all, if the Federation fleet could do this, the Zi Lun Empire could do the same.
But the problem was that Wang Hai grasped the timing too well. Just as the two Netherworld Battleships completed the hyperspace navigation and arrived at the attacking position, the void energy fluctuations caused by the eruption of the Star Core finally returned to a relatively stable state.
All the deployed hyperspace interference devices were activated again, which caused the Zi Lun Empire's plan to use hyperspace navigation to directly die in the womb.
In this regard, the Zi Lun Empire fleet had to use the method of dividing their forces. Half of the fleet was sent out to deal with the two Netherworld Battleships.
To be honest, this was the worst of the worst.
After all, the 120 billion battleships that surrounded the entrance and the 7 billion Netherworld Battleships on the Federation's defense line were already very difficult to fight.
At this time, they had lost half of their forces and had to face nearly 200 million more Federation battleships arriving from the entrance every minute. This was not a wise choice.
But there was no other way. After all, if they didn't do this, the fleet would have to face the dual firepower from both the front and the rear, and it might even collapse faster.
The absolute disadvantage of the battlefield, coupled with the suppression of the hyperspace interference, the fleet couldn't retreat, and reinforcements couldn't enter.
Even if there were several times more battleships than the Federation, despair gradually began to spread throughout the fleet.
Finally, after more than an hour of fierce fighting, when the second fleet, which was the Moi Alliance's fleet, gathered 10 billion battleships at the entrance and launched an attack under the cover of the Netherworld Fleet's firepower.
The 40 billion remaining battleships of the Zi Lun Empire that were responsible for blocking the entrance of the tunnel collapsed instantly.
In an interstellar war, once the fleet crumbled and the formations were in chaos, what awaited them would be a massacre.
If it weren't for the fact that the Moi Alliance's fleet was made up of rookies that had never been to a real battlefield, which severely reduced their combat power, the Zi Lun Empire's fleet would have collapsed even faster.
Of course, even if the Zi Lun Empire's fleet collapsed, the Moi Alliance's fleet didn't have the powerful dark energy technology of the Federation. In the process, they still suffered a lot of losses.
But compared to the Zi Lun Empire's losses, these losses were nothing.
In just one hour, 90% of the remaining 40 billion battleships that were responsible for blocking the entrance of the tunnel were annihilated.
The Moi Alliance's fleet also increased to more than 20 billion battleships. They no longer cared about the fleeing and defenseless battleships. After gathering the fleet, they directly rushed toward the Zi Lun Empire's fleet that was restraining the two Netherworld Fleets in the distance.
Three hours later …
When the last fleeing Zi Lun Empire's battleship was caught and destroyed, the entire battle came to an end.
The void that was originally clean due to the eruption of the star core energy was now once again filled with the wreckage of the battleships. It was like a garbage dump.
According to the statistics, in this battle, the Federation and the Moi Alliance formed a coalition that destroyed about 180 billion battleships of the Zi Lun Empire. If the 40 billion battleships of the Zi Lun Empire were included, the total loss reached 220 billion battleships, which was almost 20% of the entire Zi Lun Empire's fleet.
Of course, the Federation and the Alliance didn't have no losses.
The Federation's Netherworld Fleet alone lost more than 3 million battleships. It should be noted that a few decades ago, the entire Netherworld Fleet only had 1 million battleships.
The Alliance's losses were much greater. The total loss from the beginning to the end was about 3 billion battleships, and this was under the circumstances of complete suppression.
Of course, although there was a difference in dark energy technology and the number of dark energy users, part of the reason was the lack of rookies.
And this was also the reason why Nina
insisted on joining the alliance in this war, even if she didn't want any benefits.
