Chapter 178 Strategic Retreat

The energy shield was destroyed, and Qi Yiming immediately fell into a dilemma.

If he gave up the Lando Galaxy, he would have to give up the several galaxies he had occupied before because of the shortage of troops.

But if he didn't give up, although the few warships in his hands were enough to make Zhou Can drink a pot, he would have to explain it here in the end.

"It's still too small. The young people of Gaia Star, excluding those in important positions, can only form such a fleet. Otherwise, there would be no need to be so deliberate in calculating the other party." Wang Shuhua patted the armrest of the captain's chair helplessly.

"Now we can only retreat." He Zhenzhu took the lead in bringing up the topic that everyone had mentioned not long ago.

"Ah... Wang Sen, he failed at the critical moment!!" Ye Lu said in annoyance: "It's been almost two weeks and he hasn't come back yet. If I had known, I would have escorted the drone myself."

Qi Yiming shook his head: "This can't be blamed on Wang Sen. Gaia is not close to here. After he returns, he has to go to the star system where the Engineer is. It's a bit difficult to come back in a short time."

"I don't know what kind of shitty luck this shitty alliance has. A sample just taken out of the laboratory, without any verification, actually defeated our energy shield in an instant." Qiao Shan looked at the shield generator that was counting down to enter the overload mode with an incredible look on his face.

"I think we should give it a try. Don't be reluctant to give up these warships. If they are broken, we can rebuild them." Yun Mao, who didn't know much about the situation on Gaia, said loudly. He is now the highest commander of the internal security force.

Fang Min, who knew the situation on Gaia the best, immediately objected: "We are not short of warships now, but we are short of people. Without enough manpower, even if we have more warships, it will be useless."

This was the most noisy time in the fleet command channel since Qi Yiming became the head of state, and Qi Yiming was overwhelmed.

"Quiet down!" Qi Yiming shouted at everyone: "What are you arguing about!"

The fleet command channel immediately became quiet.

After everyone quieted down, Qi Yiming continued: "Get rid of the enemy in front of you first."

Qi Yiming was not a reckless man. Knowing that he was no match for the enemy, he did not choose to fight to the death with the alliance fleet, but chose to avoid its edge again.

So after the fleet symbolically launched some counterattacks, Qi Yiming immediately ordered the fleet to abandon the last line of defense, and all warships evacuated the battlefield in an orderly manner.

All the warships came to the jump bridge connecting the Lando galaxy to the outside world to regroup.

Taking advantage of the gap before the enemy caught up, Qi Yiming immediately used the deep space communicator to try to contact Wang Sen.

Now whether Wang Sen can arrive in time is the key point of this battle.

But what disappointed Qi Yiming was that they did not receive Wang Sen's reply.

Qi Yiming's last hope was shattered by the silent deep space communicator.

He knew that even if he received Wang Sen's reply now, Wang Sen would still be at least two days away from the Landu galaxy.

In the past two days, Qi Yiming and his men had been driven out of the several galaxies they had just captured by the alliance fleet, which was what Qi Yiming least wanted to see.

But just when Qi Yiming was about to order the fleet to activate the jump bridge and leave the Landu galaxy, the deep space communicator finally responded.

"This is the logistics fleet, who is calling?" The voice was Wang Sen's. At this moment, Qi Yiming had never felt that Wang Sen's words in a duck voice could be so beautiful and moving.

Qi Yiming grabbed the microphone of the deep space communicator and immediately asked: "Report your current position."

"Headmaster, we have just passed the border between the ancestral star field and the commercial alliance, and are rushing to the Landu galaxy." Wang Sen heard that Qi Yiming's voice was a little unfriendly, and immediately corrected his attitude and answered Qi Yiming's question tightly.

"We will meet in the Cole galaxy." Qi Yiming said something inexplicable to Wang Sen, and immediately ordered the fleet waiting around the jump bridge to activate the jump bridge.

"Landu galaxy is just given up?" Wang Shuhua was still a little unwilling, and asked Qi Yiming angrily.

"Today's big step back is for tomorrow's leap forward." Qi Yiming did not explain much, just said this sentence and ordered the navigator to activate the jump bridge, and the Xuefeng quickly disappeared in the Landu galaxy, which had just experienced the baptism of war.

Wang Shuhua thought to himself, "This is the rhythm of accumulating strength for counterattack!"

Randomly, he stopped questioning Qi Yiming and ordered the navigator of his ship Knight to activate the jump bridge and disappear with Xuefeng in the Lando galaxy.

Seeing the enemy fleet hastily abandoning the defense line and fleeing, Zhou Can couldn't help but curse: "A bunch of cowards, they ran away with their tails between their legs as soon as the energy shield was defeated. Don't just stand there and chase them. We must recover the lost border galaxies in one go."

Zhou Can, who was chasing after Qi Yiming's fleet, really didn't expect that Qi Yiming would retreat so thoroughly.

After the alliance fleet activated the jump bridge behind Qi Yiming and arrived at the Proxima galaxy, they actually lost Qi Yiming's trace.

By the time the warship radar operator found Qi Yiming and his team's trace, Qi Yiming had led the fleet to the jump bridge connecting to the next galaxy.

The fleet did not stay for long before the jump bridge. All the warships activated the jump bridge immediately after entering the range where the jump bridge could be activated and continued to fly to the next galaxy.

The two sides flew and chased each other for two days, and Qi Yiming and his fleet finally arrived at the Cole galaxy.

Zhou Can excitedly said to his adjutant at this time: "Send a warship to the capital star and bring back the news that we are about to recapture the fallen border star field. The citizens of the alliance need this good news to boost morale."

"Isn't it a bit too early at this time?" The adjutant was still cautious. He hoped that Zhou Can would send a victory report to the capital star system after completely retaking the border star field.

But Zhou Can, who was so proud at this time, would not listen to other people's persuasion. He stubbornly asked the adjutant to arrange for the warship to send the message.

The adjutant could not resist and followed the order. Soon the warship responsible for delivering the message was sent out.

"Where is the next star system?" Zhou Can asked the navigator with a cup of steaming coffee in his right hand.

"Sir, the next star system is the Cole Galaxy, which is adjacent to the Ancestral Star Region."

"Okay... Let's work harder and drive out the invading enemies in one go." Zhou Can was even happier when he heard it: "After completing the task, I will report everyone's achievements to the top without missing a single point. Following me, your future will definitely be smooth."

"Thank you, Captain." There were flattering voices in the fleet channel.

Only Zhou Can's adjutant stood aside with a frown, as if thinking about something.

Zhou Can patted the adjutant's shoulder with a smile on his face: "What are you thinking about? So absorbed?"

"The enemy retreated too quickly. I always feel that the other party is cheating." The adjutant expressed his worries.

Zhou Can sneered: "What else can he do if he doesn't retreat? Weak troops are their fatal weakness. If the Blue Star System is lost, they will have no extra troops to defend the various star systems. They can only choose to spit out the galaxies they have swallowed. You think too much..."

The adjutant smiled slowly and prayed in his heart: "I hope I am worrying too much."
