The Oort Cloud's vanguard fleet turned around and fled, no longer staying in Fornax.
This caused the main fleet led by Clive to no longer head towards Fornax. Their fleet will go directly to the next star field, preparing to open up a second battlefield again.
This is the Xilin constellation of Lidadas Capital. The prosperity of this star field is no less than that of Tianlu constellation.
It has several super-large energy production bases, two super-large space docks, and several industrial worlds.
This is also an indispensable star field if you want to take over Lidadas Capital.
Clive and Morley's fleets turned here because this place could provide most of the logistical supply capabilities.
Anyway, if we continue to fight in Fornax and the Galaxy Defense, problems will easily arise if we are not careful.
Clive ran away, but Duncan hadn't yet.
Now his five space fleets are still facing harassment from Li Xin's task force strike group.
Although relying on the star fortress defense line, they can fight back and forth with Li Xin's half of the task force strike group.
But if they want to move in and leave this star field, the problem will become bigger.
Now Li Xin has received information from the Skyforge of Tianlu that Moli has escaped.
At this time, Li Xin was focused on targeting Duncan. Every day, his warships took turns to harass Duncan's fleet and defense lines.
It is obvious that Duncan has more large battleships and even more A-level psychics than Li Xin has at this time.
But they still did not dare to take the initiative to attack.
It was simply that the sense of oppression brought by Li Xin as an Alpha-level psychic was too strong.
If they don't take the initiative to attack, Li Xin won't think of bullying them, but if the four A-level psychics including Duncan take action, Li Xin will not let them go easily.
Duncan seems to be a little cautious.
After he finished communicating with Clive, he held a meeting to discuss how to fight next.
With all the current information presented before them, everyone in the conference room fell silent.
Bell sighed and said, "Our losses so far haven't been that great. Why has this battle turned out so frustrating?"
No one could answer his question.
Indeed, judging from the battle losses, Duncan only lost a space battle group, about 3,000 main fleets, and a Sky Fortress.
For a great interstellar power, such a loss is nothing. As long as the industrial power is strengthened and conscription is fully launched, the losses can be replenished in no time.
But the bad thing is that the location of this Sky Fortress is too important, as it protects their core industrial area, the Forge.
According to the original plan, there would be no problems with the protection here.
Benson's space combat group, and a combat group following behind it, will arrive at the garrison as soon as possible.
Then the vanguard fleet of the Oort Cloud United Hegemony can also strengthen the defense here.
But no one expected that Li Xin could raid Tianluo so quickly.
This caused loopholes in Duncan and his team's strategic planning from the very beginning.
Now they are even more separated from the fleet of the Oort Cloud United Hegemony.
If the defenders of Fornax had fought to the end and allowed the Galactic Defense Corporation to blow up Fornax's Skyfortress, there wouldn't be so much trouble now.
As a result, the defenders surrendered the entire fortress.
This was something Duncan and the others had not expected.
But if you think about it, it's not surprising that the defenders made such a decision at that time.
The Skyforge of Tianlu is a large defensive fortress built by the many industrial worlds of Tianlu.
As long as this towering fortress exists, the subspace traction field will always exist.
The Sky Fortress can passively attract enemy fleets to the galaxy where the Sky Fortress is located.
It is impossible to cross the defense line of the Sky Fortress and attack other industrial worlds in the Fornax.
Even if Duncan and Moli's vanguard fleet stayed only in front of the Skyforge of the Forge.
The existence of the Fornax Fortress has preserved all industrial worlds and life planets within hundreds of light years of the Fornax star field.
If the Fornax Fornax was destroyed, the Galactic Defense Corporation and the Oort Cloud United Hegemony would fight to the death in Fornax.
This would certainly be a devastating loss for all the worlds in Tianlu.
Therefore, the Forge of the Sky must remain, which is also the fundamental reason why the commander of the Forge of the Sky handed over the command of the fortress.
Having a fortress is equivalent to having a trump card for the Forge. No matter how fierce the war is, it will only end in a ceasefire before the Forge's Sky Fortress.
It will not affect the rear.
Tianlu is loyal to Lidadas Capital, but the loyalty is not absolute.
These worlds of Fornax are also loyal to themselves and to Fornax.
When Lidadas Capital has the upper hand, Tianlu will be the most loyal industrial core area, providing Lidadas Capital with a steady stream of industrial power support.
But when Duncan and his men were unable to protect Fornax, Fornax also needed to consider the survival of its own worlds.
Therefore, Fornax is now loyal to the Galactic Defense Corporation, providing them with logistical supplies, soldiers and ships.
Duncan said: "It's too late to say this now. There is already a problem with our strategy."
"Clive of the Oort Cloud United Hegemony is right. We can't stay here any longer. I have decided to take the fleet out of this star field and head to the Xilin constellation. Let's meet up with Clive there!"
Bell said worriedly, "But I'm worried that the Galaxy Defense Group's fleet won't let us evacuate."
Duncan frowned and said, "They definitely won't let us go, but we have to retreat. Otherwise, when the Galaxy Defense's main fleet arrives today, we won't be able to escape even if we try to survive."
"Go down and arrange for the fleet to evacuate. Our main force is still intact. Even if the Galaxy Defense Group's fleet wants to intercept us, it will be difficult to do so."
After the meeting, Duncan's orders began to be issued to each fleet.
This was another invisible blow to the morale of the troops. The fleet of Lidadas Capital once again suffered a bitter fruit when facing the Galaxy Defense Group.
After repelling the Galaxy Defense Group's fleet once again, Duncan's fleet prepared to launch a counterattack with all its might.
But at the moment when the Galactic Defense Fleet was shrinking, they all activated their psychic jump engines, entered the subspace jump, and escaped from this star field.
