Looking at the tactical projection, Mu saw that another large number of battleships had lost their signals. He clenched his fists so tightly that some blood was dripping onto the ground.
The Special Heavy Fleet was his most prized possession. It was also his most powerful weapon against high-level Insect Kings. If they were all destroyed here, the consequences would be disastrous!
"Order all the main fleets to attack at all costs!"
"Special Heavy Fleet, retreat at full speed! Don't worry about formation!"
After a short moment of hesitation, Mu gritted his teeth and gave the order.
He knew very well what would happen to the fleets around him once he gave the order.
Even so, Mu had no choice but to do so. Otherwise, if the Special Heavy Fleet was destroyed here, he would no longer have the power to fight against high-level Insect Kings. The entire Vita Defense Line would collapse under the rampage of the few Class 3 Insect Kings.
"Yes, Commander!"
Seeing Mu's determined expression, the adjutant immediately responded and went to carry out the order.
On the battlefield, the Special Heavy Fleet was no longer retreating as they fought. Instead, they turned around and pushed their engines to the maximum. They did not even care about formation …
Even if there were many collisions, they would not hesitate.
The main fleets around them were even more frenzied. Originally, they had been suppressing the Insect Kings with their firepower and advancing steadily. Now, they had pushed their speed to the maximum, just like the Special Heavy Fleet. However …
They were not retreating. Instead, they were charging towards the Insect Kings in front of them as if they were not afraid of death.
This turn of events surprised Heniye.
After all, if he just left them alone, these fleets that were rushing for their lives would completely rush into the insect swarm and launch a fierce attack on his Class 2 insect guards.
If it was the Heniye of yesterday, she would have chosen to retreat immediately and let the ordinary Insect Kings wear them down to preserve her Rank 2 Insect Kings.
However, Heniye was no longer the Heniye of yesterday. After the conversation with Alba, she no longer valued the Rank 2 Insect Kings that much.
To Heniye, as long as she could eliminate this fleet, the enemy would no longer have any means to deal with the Type 3 Insect King. Thereafter, she could use the Type 3 Insect King as a sharp blade to break through the enemy lines, and she could easily take down the entire Vita Defensive Line.
Soon, it wasn't just the Three-eye Empire's main fleet that went crazy, even the insectoids went crazy. It was as if they had reverted back to the way they fought back when they were Rank 4 or Rank 5 King Insectoids. They didn't care about losses and relied purely on numbers. Even if it was a few thousand for one, or even a few tens of thousands for one, they continued to advance without hesitation.
Of course, this was only what the ordinary insectoid swarm was doing. Heniye's Type 2 insectoid guards were still attacking the escaping fleet.
"Commander, the insectoids have gone crazy. The main fleet can't go up to them at all, let alone threaten the insectoids hidden in the swarm!"
In the command center, the adjutant was speaking to Mu with an anxious expression.
In fact, there was no need for the adjutant to say anything. As the commander, how could Mu not see the situation clearly?
But what could he do? Looking at the tactical projection, the main fleet was already entangled with the Zerg swarm, as well as the specially-equipped heavy fleet that was fleeing in panic, the entire battlefield was a mess.
The insanity of the insectoids was completely out of his expectations.
Now, Mu was regretting his decision. If this continued, it would be a miracle if even 10% of the fleet could escape. The rest of the main fleet would be buried there!
However, it was too late to say anything now. He could only grit his teeth and continue.
"Immediately send all the reserve fleets at the rear to Defense Zone 15 at the fastest speed and rebuild the defensive line!"
"Yes, Commander!"
Seeing that the situation was irreversible, Mu could only take a step back and send all the reserve fleets to rebuild Defense Zone 15's defensive line.
After all, even if the entire fleet was destroyed, the Vita Defensive Line could not be lost.
As for asking the fleet to stop fleeing and continue to fight?
Sorry, Mu had never thought of that. Without the advantage in defense and firepower of the battleships, it was meaningless to ask them to turn around and continue to fight.
Every ship that could escape was one ship at a time.
Seconds turned into minutes. The void was filled with insectoid corpses and the wreckage of the Three-eye Empire's battleships.
However, there were more insectoid corpses in comparison. There were tens of thousands of insectoid corpses compared to the imperial battleship wreckage.
However, what was the point? Casualties were never a big deal to the insectoids. Furthermore, Heniye did not care about casualties at all.
A total of two billion battleships and eight hundred million special heavy-duty battleships. In the end, only one hundred and fifty million special heavy-duty battleships managed to retreat to the defensive line. As for the other two billion battleships, they were all buried on the battlefield.
"The insectoids did not take the opportunity to attack?"
Mu asked doubtfully as he looked at the countless insectoids that maintained a distance of twenty million kilometers from Defense Zone 15 on the tactical images.
In his opinion, they should have taken the opportunity to attack, but why did the insectoids stop?
Mu, who had just been taught a lesson by Heniye, would not think that the insectoids were too stupid.
However, if the insectoids were not that stupid, then what was the reason?
Could it be that they were brewing a new conspiracy?
"Commander, the insectoids have begun to move!"
"Quick, report the details!"
"Yes, Commander, Defense Zone 15, 300 insectoids at a distance of twenty million kilometers. Two Class 3 monarch insectoids!"
"Order the heavy-duty battleships to split into two squadrons to deal with the two Class 3 monarch insectoids. However, they are not allowed to move forward. They only need to restrain the insectoids. The rest of the squadrons are to prepare for the normal defense deployment!"
"Yes, Commander!"
After the previous lesson, Mu did not dare to let the heavy-duty battleships move forward. Now that there were only one hundred and fifty million battleships left, he could not afford to take any more risks!
However, would Heniye's new attack be that simple?
The answer was obviously no.
"Defense Zone 6 has sent a report. They have confirmed a Class 3 monarch insectoid!"
"War Zone 8 has also sent a report. They have also confirmed a Class 3 monarch insectoid!"
The two reports were like two hammers …
Mu was dumbfounded by the impact!
