On the other side, Duncan, who was following the fleet, was on the flagship. After seeing the news of the complete fall of Fornax, he put down the information with an expressionless face.
Ever since he learned that Li Xin had led a fleet to raid the Tianlu Tower Fortress, he had already made plans for the worst.
In the conference room, besides him, there were one or two A-level psychics, and the other two A-level psychics were in other space battle groups.
Duncan said to the two A-level psykers, "I didn't expect that we would lose the most important Fornax and the Sky Bastion just after the war began."
Bell, an A-rank psychic in military uniform, asked, "How could it be so fast? Shouldn't this Sky Fortress be able to hold out for at least another month?"
Duncan deadpanned, "They surrendered."
After these words were spoken, everyone around fell silent.
Joyce, another A-rank psychic, mused, "I've read the battle report. They're already powerless to resist. The Galactic Defense Corporation's ships have main guns with a range exceeding that of the Fornax Fornax."
"Their mecha units and carrier-based aircraft units have been crippled and have little combat effectiveness."
"If we continue to persevere, we will only sacrifice one Skyfortress. We won't be able to delay the battle for too long, and it will be even more impossible to launch an effective counterattack against the Galaxy Defense Group's fleet."
Bell asked, "Compared to the surrender of the Sky Fortress, I'd like to know how the Galaxy Defense Group's fleet arrived at Fornax so quickly."
"If the Galaxy Defense Group's fleet can sail this fast, then we don't need to fight and can just surrender."
"The fleet's jump speed is so fast, how can we fight? We can easily be defeated by them one by one."
Duncan said, "The Grand Marshal of the Galactic Defense Group is an Alpha-class psyker."
"Perhaps the reason their fleet attacked so quickly this time is related to his powerful psychic powers."
"Otherwise, I can't think of any other reason."
"If their ships can all jump so fast, then it's impossible that there's only this vanguard fleet, and we can't just lose the Fornax."
"Their army should have come to us long ago and annihilated us."
Duncan's words made Bell and Joyce nod their heads.
Duncan said, "Pass this information to our allies as soon as possible, and let Clive of the Oort Cloud Hegemony know too. They must not be ambushed."
They were still chatting here, but the next moment, an officer shouted:
"Oh no, President!"
"General Benson was attacked by the Galaxy Defense Group's fleet while he was resting!"
Duncan's hands clenched violently.
"broken!"
…
The space fleet that encountered Li Xin had an A-level psychic, Benson, as its commander.
Duncan and several other A-level psychics were in the third space battle group and had not yet arrived.
At this time, the fleet was resting in a desolate galaxy.
The fleet has stopped here since it received information about the encounter with the Fornax Fornax and the unsuccessful battle situation.
It was still so far away from Fornax that it was impossible for their battle group to reach Fornax before the fall of the Sky Fortress.
During the more than one month of rest, they were always communicating with Duncan in the rear.
However, before they could receive Duncan's next order, they first received Li Xin and half of Li Xin's task force strike group.
When the fleet led by the dreadnought jumped out of the subspace, the warships on the opposite side discovered that enemies had suddenly appeared in the galaxy.
Li Xin ordered: "Activate the warp trap of the Dreadnought flagship!"
As the Dreadnought flagship and the Phantom-class battlecruiser opened the subspace trap, the opposing fleet was immediately disrupted and had no hope of jumping into the subspace in a short time.
General Benson, the battle group's commander, exclaimed in shock, "Where did the warships come from? Where did the subspace trap come from?"
The junior officer quickly reported, "General, it's a fleet from the Galaxy Defense Group!"
General Benson couldn't believe it. He said, "Galactic Defense Group, the Galactic Defense Group again!"
"Where on earth did their fleet come from?!"
No one could answer his question because all the officers didn't know what was going on.
But this question is no longer important now, because the next issue that needs to be considered is how to resist the fleet of the Galactic Defense Group.
Benson quickly gave the order: "Set up the defense line quickly!"
"All fleets, prepare for battle!"
"How long until the enemy reaches firing range!?"
A staff officer quickly counted the troops and replied, "The two armies are expected to arrive at the firing position in 13 hours!"
Benson asked, "When can the psychic jump engine be restarted and enter the jump state?"
A relevant officer quickly counted the data of each main fleet and large ships, and then replied with a bitter face:
"General, the data compiled by the various fleets indicates that it will take us at least fifteen days to escape the Warp Trap and re-enter the Warp."
"The enemy's subspace trap was released from the Dreadnought flagship."
After hearing this answer, Benson couldn't help but tremble his fingers.
"Dreadnought flagship..."
Of course, Lidadas Capital also has a fearless flagship, but his fleet is not equipped with it.
Benson looked at the detection system and estimated that the enemy fleet could reach at least 6,000 ships, and the number of large warships far exceeded the normal fleet configuration.
Especially the signals from those dreadnought flagships made him extremely nervous.
Benson murmured, "This is going to be big trouble!"
The fleets of both sides deployed quickly.
Although Benson's battle group had stayed here for a while, they were only resting and preparing for battle, and did not expect to be attacked.
Looking at the opposite side now, there are at least twice as many warships as ours, and even the number of large warships is much greater.
Benson now has an idea of what kind of miserable defeat he will face next.
More than ten hours passed in a flash, and the fleets of both sides were getting closer and closer.
As they got closer, the exchange of fleet intelligence between the two sides became more and more obvious.
Looking at the six dreadnought flagships that Li Xin had brought, Benson couldn't help but let out a weak groan.
"Six dreadnought flagships, this is killing me!"
The next moment, the Galaxy Defense Group's ultra-long-range Star-Splitting Light Cannon shot over.
