The victors of the second battle of the Holy War were the Legion of the Holy Angels.

After Zhao Chen announced his surrender, both interstellar warships ended the battle immediately.

Surprisingly, the remaining dozens of interstellar warships of the Holy Angels Fleet withdrew from the battlefield at an extremely fast speed, as if fleeing from some monstrous flood.

On the contrary, the remaining starships of the Xiaolong fleet seemed very unwilling and hovered in place.

At this moment, the video window opened in front of Zhao Chen, and the unwillingness in Shen Bing's eyes could be felt even through the electronic screen.

"Shen Bing, immediately arrange for the treatment of the wounded and the rescue of the destroyed and damaged interstellar warships, and try to save as many crew members as possible who still have a chance of survival," Zhao Chen said first.

"Commander...why...we...we can still fight!" Shen Bing clenched her fists, her eyes filled with a hint of unwillingness, and she bit her lip lightly.

Zhao Chen looked at Shen Bing and smiled slightly: "Shen Bing, you fought very well in this battle."

Although we outwardly conceded defeat, everyone knows that the real winner is you!

"Then why..." Shen Bing lost control of her emotions.

Zhao Chen's expression changed, and he said seriously, "I have no doubt that you can bring us victory, but I have a question for you."

If this continues, how many of your hundred interstellar warships can you guarantee will survive?

How many starships and their crews will be sacrificed!

Shen Bing was speechless.

She was confident she could fight her way to victory, but... by then, she estimated no more than twenty interstellar warships would survive.

"This holy war duel is important to us, but it is not the real battlefield."

If I had a choice, I wouldn't stand by and watch you sacrifice yourselves here!

I have seen the efforts you have made, and you are the JF-17 fleet that I am proud of. That is enough!

"You've done very well," Zhao Chen said earnestly.

Shen Bing choked up, her eyes slightly red.

"Alright, do as I say. I have already dispatched interstellar medical ships and interstellar industrial ships to assist you."

"Minimize our personnel losses as much as possible!" Zhao Chen reminded again.

"Yes." Shen Bing nodded heavily.

Communication ended.

At this moment, Lilith, who was standing next to us, said, "In this second battle, nearly half of our starships lost their combat capability."

Thirteen of them were directly destroyed, and apart from the crew members who managed to escape in time, the chances of any remaining survivors are very slim.

The other 25 were severely damaged, but the starships were largely intact and there was a possibility of survivors inside.

The remaining ones were due to damage to the starship's main performance, rendering it incapable of combat. The crew members had a very high chance of survival after our rescue.

We anticipate losing 37 starships in this battle, including some beyond repair; the remaining repairable starships will be brought back to the nearest starport for repair after the Holy War.

Regarding casualties, the number of people killed is estimated to be around 2,300; the number of people injured, both slightly and seriously, is estimated to reach 2,000.

However, with the T3 Andromeda-class interplanetary hospital ship we brought providing treatment, there shouldn't be any major problems.

After listening to Lilith's report, Zhao Chen nodded.

The losses were within his acceptable range. If he hadn't ended the battle in time, even if he had won, the casualties might have increased more than tenfold.

Currently, both battles of the Holy War have concluded, with the Dragon Legion and the Holy Angel Legion each securing a victory.

The final victor will be determined in the third round of the Holy War duel. 𝓯𝙧𝓮𝓮𝒘𝓮𝙗𝙣𝒐𝒗𝒆𝓵.𝓬𝓸𝒎

Each side had three thousand interstellar warships. Over half an hour, the two sides' interstellar warship groups gradually approached each other and arrived at a wide battle zone.

It's clear that neither side has prepared many strategies, and they're not ready for a direct confrontation between their legion fleets!

At this moment, Zhao Chen pressed the communication button to contact Saint Cana next door.

“Miss Saint Cana, I’ll give you one last piece of advice: this is your last chance to admit defeat.”

Let's not add any more casualties.

Zhao Chen's words rang in Saint Cana's ears.

The officers around Saint Cana also heard this and were furious, believing that this guy was provoking them.

Saint Cana's thoughts were different at this moment. She sensed something was wrong, and a voice inside her was urging her to end the battle.

However... he is the commander of the Holy Angel Legion and a member of the Imperial Senate.

Now that the holy war has begun, she cannot stop it at this time, especially since the two interstellar legions have not yet truly clashed.

"Your Excellency Zhao Chen, your Dragon Legion is very strong."

"But my Holy Angel Legion is not a coward either. Our Holy Angel Legion will never retreat without a fight!" Saint Cana expressed her thoughts.

"Alas, we are not the real enemy yet."

"I really don't want to see any unnecessary casualties between us." Zhao Chen's voice was helpless; he knew that whatever he said now, the other party probably wouldn't listen.

After he finished speaking, there was no sound from the other end.

"She won't listen to advice." Zhao Chen looked at Lilith beside him and shrugged helplessly.

Lilith thoughtfully brought up a detailed data panel showing the combat strength of both sides in the third battle.

On the side of the Holy Angels Legion, there are three thousand interstellar warships.

Of these, 2,900 are combat-type interstellar warships and 100 are auxiliary interstellar warships of various types.

Auxiliary interstellar warships include interstellar supply ships, interstellar reconnaissance ships, etc. Among them are interstellar anti-stealth ships, because during the previous investigation of the JF-17 Legion, intelligence indicated that the JF-17 Legion was equipped with interstellar stealth bombers.

Of the 2,900 combat-type interstellar warships, there were nearly 30 T4-class interstellar warships!

The rest were all T3-class interstellar warships.

This is the terrifying combat power of the Holy Angel Legion.

This is why even Governor Chu Changhe was not entirely confident that he could defeat the Holy Angel Legion, one of the ten Holy Light Legions of the Holy Radiant Empire.

However, although there are thirty T4 starships, twenty-five of them are T4 Envoy-class medium-sized star destroyers.

The Holy Radiant Empire currently has three types of T4-class interstellar warships in service.

This is different from Warhammer StarCraft: United States; these are three genuine games.

T4 Retribution Angel-class Heavy Starship; T4 Divine Light-class Light Starcruiser; T4 Divine Messenger-class Medium Star Destroyer.

The strongest of them is undoubtedly the T4 Retribution Angel, the face of the Holy Radiance Empire.

The T4 Divine Messenger-class medium-sized interstellar destroyer is the most numerous T4-class interstellar warship currently in service with the Holy Radiant Empire, with a rumored number exceeding five hundred, and even the possibility that the Holy Radiant Empire may expand to one thousand ships.

This is the advantage of conventional interstellar warships: they are inexpensive to build and can be mass-produced and put into service.

This is why Chu Changhe is so eager to own a T4-class interstellar destroyer.

As for the T4 Divine Radiance-class light interstellar cruiser, it is currently a weakness of the Holy Radiance Empire, which is why Saint Cana wants to obtain the T4 interstellar cruiser technology from the Dragonflight Legion to make up for the technological shortcomings of her empire.
