Third Fleet, Second Squadron.

Andrew's expression changed drastically as he looked at the command displayed on the holographic projection in front of him.

Without any hesitation, he immediately ordered his crew to disengage from the battlefield!

The massive Golden Crow battleship demonstrated exceptional agility at this moment.

Propelled by mesons at 94% the speed of light ejected from the antimatter engine, the Golden Crow quickly turned an angle and then flew straight toward the fifth planet of the Gliese 555 star system!

Beside them, two Golden Crow battleships belonging to the second squadron of the third fleet also hurriedly followed in their footsteps, chasing after the secondary flagship of the Bosa civilization.

According to Zero's calculations, they will meet in the orbit of Gliese Fifth.

Meanwhile, escorted by two squads, these transport ships fully loaded with antimatter will head towards the vicinity of Dawn Star to replenish the necessary antimatter energy for the [Lightsaber Planet Fortress]!

...

Inside the command center.

Submerged in the deep-sea cabin, Andrew frowned, staring intently at the holographic star map in front of him.

In the distance of the star map, there are several bright spots that are moving slowly and flashing white light. They are antimatter transport ships that have come from the main star of Gliese 555!

Not far from their [Golden Crow] battleship, two bright red lights were rapidly moving towards the white dot in the distance.

Those were the two secondary flagships that had broken away from Bosa's fleet.

'fine……'

Andrew glanced at the various data displayed on the holographic projection, and his expression softened slightly.

Due to their relative positions, the Golden Crow battleship is currently in a leading position.

Based on the current situation, both the first and second teams can be the first to reach the orbit of the fifth planet.

The next moment.

A soft alarm sounded, and at the same time, the ship's onboard artificial intelligence automatically unfolded a brand-new holographic projection.

...

In the dark and cold universe, the two Bosa secondary flagships slowly pulled away from each other.

Under the watchful eyes of human civilization, their trajectories gradually became smoother—they ceased maneuvering to evade attacks, instead allowing the harmless assaults to fall upon their composite shields.

The next second, the intensity of the gamma rays at the antimatter engine nozzle increased several times!

At the same time, a faint white light slowly emanated from its tail.

As the brightness of the white light gradually increased, the area around the secondary warship also began to distort.

Gravitational lensing has occurred!

This scene immediately triggered the alarm bells to ring loudly at the command center of the Earth, far away on Dawn Star!

"Warp navigation!"

Lu Yongchang's eyes widened suddenly, and he shouted, "Quick! Interrupt it!"

"We absolutely cannot allow it to successfully enter warp state!"

Even without Lü Yongchang's reminder, Zhao Zijie was aware of this.

Once they enter a warp state, the flight speed of these two secondary flagships will instantly experience a qualitative leap!

Even if they could only reach twice the speed of light, they were still beyond the reach of the Golden Crow battleship!

"Third Fleet, First Squadron, attack immediately and disrupt their warp drive!"

Zhao Zijie issued orders to the first squad, which was closer to the secondary flagship.

...

'Warp navigation!'

Almost simultaneously, the same thought crossed Andrew's mind.

He instinctively gave the attack order to his crew.

The other two battleships of the second squadron, the "Golden Crow," made the same choice.

Suddenly, the dark universe became lively.

However, the two Bosa secondary flagships did not react in any way to avoid the overwhelming attack. They simply stayed in place, relying on their powerful composite shields to resist the damage while continuously driving the warp engines located at the stern of the ship.

As Andrew watched the increasingly bright white light and the increasingly obvious gravitational lensing effect in the holographic projection, his heart sank.

'It's over. '

That was the only thought left in his mind.

He could even imagine the scene of these two secondary flagships disappearing into the visible universe!

He could also imagine the antimatter transport ships exploding under their onslaught!

He could even imagine the scene of human civilization being defeated and perishing!

He instinctively wanted to close his eyes.

But a blinding light, accompanied by a sharp alarm, came from outside the porthole!

The explosion illuminated the entire starry sky.

A silent explosion was projected onto the holographic screen.

Andrew's eyes widened slightly.

Soon, the light in his eyes dimmed.

He took a deep breath of the cold, deep-sea liquid, trying to cool his wounded heart.

Another self-destruction.

To breach the composite shields of these secondary flagships, aside from the Starship Fortress, perhaps only the power of a warship self-destructing could achieve this.

I wonder how many of our usually unsung brothers have been lost this time.

I wonder when it will be his turn to press that sinful button that releases all the antimatter within the ship.

As the explosion flashed, the piercing alarm sounded and faded away.

Andrew mustered his strength and carefully examined the data transmitted back by the probe.

The gravitational lensing effect is gradually disappearing.

It was a success.

Both secondary warships exited warp drive mode.

In the images transmitted back by the probe, Andrew could even see bursts of fire coming from the stern of a secondary flagship.

Clearly, the secondary flagship suffered considerable damage in the explosion.

Under Andrew's watchful eye, the secondary flagship, whose shape was extremely close to a sphere, slowly turned around and headed towards the Bosa fleet, leaving only one secondary flagship to continue its original mission.

'Forced one ship to retreat...'

Andrew's spirits lifted slightly.

[Third Fleet, First Squad completely wiped out.]

[Second squad, continue mission.]

The cold words made Andrew's heart clench.

'Why……'

He sighed silently.

'This damn universe…'
