The sudden attack slammed into the Scorching Sun Fleet's formation. At least thirty million warships were destroyed in this wave of attack.
Not only was Hermes dumbfounded by this turn of events, even Sophia was dumbfounded.
Just now, after seeing through the Scorching Sun Fleet's intentions, Sofia had prepared a countermeasure.
However, just as she confidently gave the order, the Netherworld Fleet, which had been holding the rear, suddenly attacked.
If the Black Cavity Fleet was the Federation's strongest shield, then the Netherworld Fleet was the Federation's strongest spear. Its offensive power was the best of all the fleets in the Federation.
Even though the Scorching Sun Fleet already had the prototype of the Black Cavity Armor, in front of five billion Netherworld Warships, which were manned by at least Level 9 dark energy users, more than thirty million warships were destroyed in one wave.
However, before Ermis could recover, the Netherworld Fleet's second wave of attack had arrived.
-----
"Reporting, the second wave of attack is complete. The preliminary results are estimated to be 35.49 million warships destroyed!"
"Order all warships to reconstruct the dark energy array and prepare for the third wave of attack!"
"Yes!"
"Reporting, we've received a communication request from the Black Armor Fleet!"
"Connect it!"
"Yes, the communication has been connected!"
"You brat, didn't I tell you to stay at the back? Why are you joining in the fun?"
The moment the communication was connected, Sofia's complaints rang out in the bridge. Everyone could not help but break out in a cold sweat.
Although Ziling was the acting commander, she was the previous commander of the Netherworld Fleet. At the same time, she was one of the only seven Level 11 dark energy users in the Federation. It was likely that Sofia was the only one in the Federation who dared to yell at her like this.
However, Ziling really could not do anything to Sofia.
After all, she called Lin Yu brother, and Lin Yu's wife, Li Lizi, was the daughter of Li Cangqiong and Sofia …
Although Ziling and Lin Yu were not married, the higher-ups of the Federation knew about their relationship. In terms of seniority, Ziling had to follow Lin Yu and call Sofia that.
"Admiral Sofia, if we let the enemy rush up and fight with the Black Armor Fleet, the situation will become very bad."
"I'm not saying that the black-armored fleet can't defeat the enemy, but I want to avoid unnecessary casualties as much as possible."
Zi Ling knew Sophia very well. She wasn't like what the outside world had described her to be. She wasn't a reckless commander.
In truth, Sofia's control of the fleet formation was better than most of the commanders of the Federation's fleets.
After all, without this foundation, how could you be reckless?
In fact, close combat was the real test of a commander's ability!
Thus, Zi Ling believed that Sophia would be able to deal with the fleet's tactics. However, the problem was that, just as she had said to Sophia, some casualties could be avoided and were unnecessary. Since the enemy had chosen to abandon their formation and launch a full-speed assault, the Netherworld Fleet, which had the strongest offensive power and an absolute advantage in numbers, launching a concentrated attack on the enemy was clearly the best plan.
After hearing Zi Ling's words, Sophia calmed down a little.
According to Lin Fan's words, Sophia was good at everything except for the fact that she would get carried away easily when she got into a fight. This time, he had asked Zi Ling to come along with her so that she could watch from the side.
After all, in the Federation, there weren't many people who could make Sophia listen to their words.
"Only this once!"
After spitting out these words, Sophia immediately cut off the communication.
However, Zi Ling knew that Sophia had listened to her, and the corners of her mouth curled up slightly.
"Continue to cooperate with the black-armored fleet and continue to launch rapid fire attacks on the enemy fleet!"
"Yes!"
They were about three AU away from the black-armored fleet. Even if they were a super civilization, they wouldn't be able to engage the black-armored fleet in close combat in a short period of time with their sub-light speed engines.
Meanwhile, the other fleet, which was several times more numerous than them, had incomparably powerful offensive power. Almost every wave caused them to lose more than 30 million battleships.
At this rate, it wouldn't be long before the entire Scorching Sun fleet was annihilated.
This situation almost drove Ermis crazy.
"Commander, we can't go on like this!"
The deputy who was equally anxious said to Ermis.
"Do you think I don't know? But what else can we do?"
Ermis slammed the armrest of his chair and roared.
"Commander, don't you think it's a little strange?"
"What do you mean?"
"It's the enemy we're facing now. Are they really the fleets of the three super civilizations?"
The deputy's words were like a nuclear bomb that directly exploded in Ermis' mind.
That's right, this is too illogical!
If the fleets of the three super civilizations had this kind of strength, then the Sun River Empire wouldn't be able to fight at all. They could've just surrendered, and the three super civilizations wouldn't have been pushed back bit by bit over the years.
Furthermore, the style of the enemy's battleship is completely different from the three super civilizations.
Why didn't I think about this after fighting for so long?
Stronger than the three super civilizations …
Could it be that civilization?
Not good, if it's really that civilization, then we're in big trouble.
I have to confirm it immediately!
"Find a way to contact the commander of the enemy fleet!"
"This … They might not be willing to talk!"
"If they don't want to talk, can't you think of a way? Even if you say that we want to surrender, do you understand?"
"Yes, I'll do it immediately!"
For the deputy, if Ermis wanted to surrender, he wouldn't be unwilling. After all, he didn't have a strong desire to sacrifice himself like Ermis. It was always good to be able to survive, right?
However, the truth might disappoint him because Ermis never really wanted to surrender. What I want is to confirm who the other party is.
At the same time, in the flagship bridge of the Black Armor Fleet.
"Report, we've received a communication request from the enemy!"
"Don't answer, there's nothing to talk about!"
Obviously, Sofia was still a little unhappy at the moment.
"But Admiral … the other party said that they want to surrender. If we refuse to answer, isn't it a little inappropriate?"
"Surrender, okay, answer it. I'll listen to what they have to say first."
Sofia waved her hand and said with a bored expression.
"Yes, Admiral!"
Soon, the communication was connected to the bridge, and Ermis' figure was projected in front of Sofia.
However …
Sofia was a little confused. Was her appearance that terrifying?
Why did the other party's expression suddenly change when they saw her when the communication was connected?
It was as if they had seen something extremely terrifying?
Then, while Sofia was still confused, Ermis finally spoke, but he only said a few words with a trembling voice before cutting off the communication.
"Alfate!"
