"Commander, here's the latest news from the rear."

The patrol fleet responsible for patrolling the wormhole warp points reported that many of them had withered, collapsed, or exploded. Lilith quickly ran to Zhao Chen.

Zhao Chen immediately said, "In that case, it's most likely that Zhao Wan'er and Xue Xiaoxiao's operation has been successful!"

Lilith nodded; that was most likely the case.

However, for some reason, it was not possible to send the message back immediately.

"To transmit messages to the various combat fleets."

"End the current combat plan and retreat immediately," Zhao Chen ordered.

"yes!"

Lilith immediately began issuing these orders.

Zhao Chen originally launched the attack with these three fleet groups to draw the enemy's attention.

The objective has now been achieved.

Although the two T5 Leviathan Monarch-class Zerg Hive Motherships on the other side are still there, as long as the huge threat posed by the T5 Leviathan Shaman-class Zerg Hive Motherships is eliminated.

It's only a matter of time before we can take down these T5 Leviathan-class Zerg motherships.

Rather than risking heavy casualties to annihilate the two T5 Leviathan Sovereign-class Zerg hive motherships, it would be better to retreat first and give the fleet [N O V E L I G H T] time to recover and regroup.

Then slowly eliminate the two Leviathan Sovereign-class Zerg motherships and the remaining Zerg fleet.

Now that the T5 Leviathan Shaman-class Zerg mothership has been destroyed, the initiative in this battle is in Zhao Chen's hands.

There is absolutely no need for him to rush things.

"Contact Charlotte and inquire about the battle situation there."

If necessary, send the T4 Radiant-class interstellar warships with some still combat-capable legion fleets to provide support! Zhao Chen thought of the Charlotte legion fleet, which he had been worried about.

Charlotte's legion fleet undoubtedly bore the greatest pressure in this battle.

They have maintained a high level of combat intensity for nearly fifty hours!

Moreover, they were deep inside enemy territory.

Zhao Chen could hardly imagine the pressure Charlotte was under.

"Yes!" Lilith understood the commander's concerns and dared not delay in any way.

Zhao Chen sat back down in his captain's chair.

His previously solemn face finally broke into a relaxed smile, as if the burden on his shoulders had been lightened considerably.

I can finally catch my breath.

"Retreat?" Upon hearing this order, the high angel Berkeley looked surprised.

He was locked in a fierce battle with the enemy, and was about to charge into the enemy's T5 Leviathan Monarch-class Zerg Hive Mothership for a showdown.

That Dragon Lord actually ordered a retreat?

They didn't want to come, but they insisted; now that things are getting heated, they want people to leave?

You can't just play games with people like that.

"Yes, that was the commander's order."

They demanded that we immediately withdraw from the current battle.

"All interstellar fleets must disengage from combat within half an hour!" High Angel Jesse said, somewhat puzzled.

Why did they suddenly decide to withdraw when they were fighting so well?

The one who previously said he wanted to launch an attack is now the same one who wants to retreat.

The two high-ranking angels were filled with doubt.

The angel Tilia, having received more information, answered their questions.

"The Dragon Legion has annihilated the Leviathan Shaman-class insect hive mothership," Angel Tilia said slowly.

Upon hearing this news...

The two high-ranking angels were stunned for several seconds.

It was High Angel Berkeley who finally came to his senses: "What? They've already destroyed the Leviathan Shaman-class Zerg Hive Mothership?"

How did they do it?

Why were we unaware of this operation?

"They carried out this operation without our knowledge?" High Angel Jesse frowned, her tone tinged with displeasure.

Based on the information she had obtained, the angel Tilia informed the two of what had happened.

And the entire plan of that Dragon Lord.

This included the final order for fifteen T5 starships and a special fleet of 3,000 starships, consisting of the Xiaolong stealth bomber, to launch a surprise attack on the T5 Leviathan Shaman-class Zerg mothership.

After hearing this, the two high-ranking angels looked on incredulously.

"That's insane."

"This guy is a complete madman." High Archangel Berkeley's eyes were filled with complex emotions as he shook his head repeatedly: "This three-step plan."

If any one of these points goes wrong, it could lead to complete failure.

Especially for the part where General Charlotte was responsible for drawing fire, less than 10,000 starships attracted two Leviathan-class Zerg motherships and a Zerg fleet of two million!

This is practically suicide.

And this final step: fifteen T5 starships and three thousand of those... stealth bombers...

How could he be so sure that these would be enough to kill that Leviathan Shaman-class Zerg mothership?

What if we fail?

“But he succeeded,” said the angel Tilia.

A few simple words left the two high-ranking angels speechless.

Regardless of how crazy and risky this operation plan seemed in retrospect, in short...

He succeeded!

This is a fact that is right here.

"Prepare to withdraw the troops," Angel Tilia ordered.

"But now that we've already destroyed that Leviathan Shaman-class Zerg hive mothership, why not press our advantage and pursue them?"

"From what I've observed, the enemy's command structure is in disarray, and coordination on the battlefield is severely hampered," High Angel Jesse said with a puzzled look.

If it were her, she would probably order the attack to continue and press the attack to destroy those T5 Leviathan Sovereign-class Zerg motherships.

"If this place were all filled with our angelic interstellar warships, what do you think the final outcome would be?" Angel Tilia asked.

"Of course, we will annihilate all of the enemy's T4 and T3 level Zergling motherships and achieve victory!" High Angel Jesse said confidently.

"And what about our losses? How much will they be?" Angel Tilia countered.

This question stunned the high angel Jesse, who fell silent.

The high angel Berkeley beside her explained, "If all the interstellar warships here were replaced with angelic interstellar warships, perhaps we could achieve victory."

However, we will inevitably suffer more than half, even up to 70%, of our casualties!

Based on my observations of the JF-17 Legion during this period, their combat style, in addition to achieving victory, shows that they are very concerned about their own casualties and losses.

They will promptly evacuate some interstellar warships that are in danger from the battlefield, rescue the wounded, and retrieve valuable interstellar warships.

That's why their commander chose to retreat at this time.

Waiting for an opportunity to rest and reorganize the fleet for the next wave of attacks.

"We can still achieve victory, and at the cost of fewer casualties." As High Angel Berkeley spoke, a hint of reverence filled his eyes.

Angel Tilia sighed, "It seems we have chosen an excellent ally for our angel race."
