After the vanguard fleet completely withdrew from the attack range of the Skyforge Fortress, each unit counted the battle losses.
The report was delivered to Mo Li, and he looked at the report in his hand with an embarrassed expression.
In just three days of assault, they lost more than twenty battleships, and more than forty battleships were forced to make emergency jumps and escape from Fornax because the void shields were overloaded and the ships were attacked.
The casualties from this fierce attack were too great.
The large warships suffered so many casualties, not to mention the losses of other small and medium-sized warships that attacked fiercely.
At the combat meeting, Mo Li said, "The biggest problem with this battle is intelligence gathering!"
"Send a message to President Clive and emphasize this matter!"
"Yes, sir!"
Then Mo Li said, "The defense line of the Tianlu Tower Fortress is no longer something that our vanguard fleet can handle."
"So I intend to temporarily leave the Tianlu constellation and leave the control range of this defense line!"
An A-rank psychic general asked, "How are we going to explain this to Duncan and the others?"
Mo Li's face was unhappy. He said in a cold voice: "How are we going to explain? They lost the Tianlu Fortress. We couldn't take it by force and suffered heavy losses. How can we give them an explanation?!"
"Such an important stronghold was lost so easily! The soldiers and officers didn't even dare to fight to the death, handing over such a crucial stronghold intact to the enemy!"
"Fornax cannot be attacked unless the main force of Lord Clive's fleet arrives."
"But the main force of the Galaxy Defense Group's central army will arrive even faster. This is not a suitable battlefield!"
After a moment's silence, Mo Li said, "Inform Clive and our allies as soon as possible about the combat effectiveness of the Galaxy Defense Group's main battleships. Their firepower is too fierce!"
"Have the intelligence department step up their investigation. We need to know more detailed information about this warship!"
"Yes, sir!"
This battle allowed Moli to witness the power of the Phantom-class battlecruiser, and also made him have some bad guesses in his mind.
"Could it be possible that the Galaxy Defense Corporation has already developed a new generation of leading technology?!"
The fleet led by Moli made a very decisive choice. After realizing that they could not destroy the Sky Fortress through a fierce attack, they turned around and ran away.
He ignored all the words that Liu Yang had arranged for the people to criticize him from behind.
Moli has rich combat experience and acts decisively. He formulated a strict combat plan before the war.
Strict response measures have been taken for situations with advantages and disadvantages.
Now the main force of the Galaxy Defense Group is still on the way. He didn't dare to stay any longer and ran away directly, not even daring to stay near the Tianlu Seat.
Moli was also worried that the Galaxy Defense Group might have a powerful fleet that would suddenly attack them.
So they could only flee far away and completely abandon the attack plan of Tianlu.
On the way to escape, Moli and Clive also started ultra-long-range psychic communication.
Moli briefly reported the battle situation and then said, "I don't recommend fighting in Tianlu!"
"This place has been taken over by the Galaxy Defense Corporation. The surrounding industrial worlds and space docks will no longer be a help to Duncan. Instead, they will become a continuous supply center for the Galaxy Defense Corporation!"
"We don't have any geographical advantages here. Even with a complete Sky Fortress, we don't even have the ability to compete for the industrial worlds in other star regions."
"Our army is under great logistical pressure. We cannot get the logistical support from Lidadas Capital here, which is not conducive to the war."
"So I suggest we change the battlefield and not fight the Galaxy Defense Group here!"
After hearing what Morley said, Clive thought calmly.
After a long while, he finally said, "You have a point. Tianlu is no longer a suitable battlefield."
"We can't continue to invest sunk costs here!"
"Let's change the battlefield!"
"Your troops should move immediately and not linger near the Tianlu constellation for any longer!"
Moli responded, "Let Duncan escape quickly, or I'm afraid he'll be eaten!"
After finishing the communication, Clive sat in the office and quickly called the head of the intelligence agency.
When the intelligence chief arrived, Clive looked unhappy. He asked, "How did you get the intelligence about the Galaxy Defense Group?"
"Why don't we even truly understand the firepower capabilities of the enemy's main battleships?!"
The intelligence chief's face turned bitter, but he didn't dare to make excuses, so he could only say, "President, this is our mistake!"
"It's really because the Galaxy Defense Group has a very strict blockade on information about their large warships, and it's difficult for our intelligence personnel to access it."
Clive's face was serious. He said, "I don't want to hear other reasons. I just want to know the specific information about these warships!"
"Implement this as quickly as possible. I need to get intelligence on the enemy's warships as quickly as possible. If you can't complete it, then someone else will do it!"
The head of the intelligence agency was filled with anxiety and panic. He quickly said, "President, please rest assured. I will get the information as quickly as possible!"
Clive waved his hand casually: "Go ahead."
The head of the intelligence agency left as if he had been pardoned, and tried to find a way to obtain the weapons information of the Galaxy Defense Group's large warships.
On Clive's side, after a brief thought, he started psychic communication with Duncan.
When the communication was connected, Clive said directly: "Duncan, your strategic mistakes in Fornax have made it difficult to continue the current battle."
"Our fleet will no longer be heading to the Forge to fight. We will prepare to open up the next battlefield!"
"Don't delay too long near Fornax. Be careful of the Galaxy Defense Group's fleet, they're surrounding you."
When Duncan heard the news, a thousand alpacas ran through his heart.
He was still trying hard to exchange passionate shots with Li Xin in a delayed battle.
I was thinking about receiving the good news that Moli would conquer Tianlu, but now I am told that there is no hope at all for Tianlu.
Duncan felt bitter in his heart. Tianlu was of great significance to Lidadas Capital, especially to Duncan and his faction.
It's like one of the two testicles. Although you can survive without one, it will be a little less satisfying.
Duncan asked, "Is there really no hope?"
Clive sighed and said, "Mori's vanguard fleet can't take Fornax now, even if they launch a fierce attack regardless of the losses."
"In a short while, the main fleet of the Galaxy Defense Group will arrive. By then, we won't be able to escape even if we want to."
"You should move quickly, or you'll be blocked."
