Chapter 1311: Fighting for Health Bar

The Swan is a battleship, an interstellar battleship. Although it can sail in a gravity environment, this is not its home after all.

The new order arrived after the Swan completed the supply, ordering it to return to the void and join the cruiser and aircraft carrier formation.

This order is not actually because the fleet of the Whirlwater Federation needs the Swan to help, but mainly because it needs Alyssa.

It is very dangerous in a gravity environment. If the near-earth orbit is recaptured by the Red Maple Republic, the Swan will become a target for orbital bombing.

The Whirlwater Federation cannot afford the cost of losing its heroic granddaughter, which will cause a major blow to morale. The situation of the war that has finally begun to turn around may fall into an unfavorable situation again because of this last straw.

So when the Swan completed the supply, a transport ship immediately sent a booster rocket, and the Swan was not allowed to stay on the ground for long, and Alyssa was required to return to the void immediately.

This actually meets Alyssa's wishes. She doesn't like the feeling of being bound by gravity. Compared with fighting in the atmosphere, she also feels that the void is her home.

"Altitude angle is normal, speed is normal, thermal barrier has been broken."

"Main engine ignited."

"Understood, main engine ignited, circularizing orbit."

Since transport supply ships and assault landing ships can still come down from orbit continuously, it means that the low-Earth orbit of Stantum has been controlled by the Swirl Water Federation. The Swan did not encounter any interception in the process of returning to the void with the help of booster rockets.

The floating feeling of microgravity made Alyssa relax a little. She leaned back in her seat and squinted her eyes slightly.

What she cares most about now is what Li Chengxi said to her, I will participate in this war.

Alyssa never figured out what Li Chengxi was, but according to the agreement between the two of them, Alyssa provided supplies and Li Chengxi would help her find the starship.

The relationship between the two is such a simple mutually beneficial relationship, not too complicated.

In fact, Li Chengxi's relationship with everyone on the Swan is not close. It can only be regarded as a level of talking. The most familiar one is Fang Lanyin. After all, who can refuse a caring and supportive cat girl?

Although Li Chengxi helped Alyssa through many crises, he did it voluntarily and there was no other reason. He just wanted to.

Viola is Li Chengxi's foundation, Yang Yiyi is more like Li Chengxi's raising daughter, and Alyssa?

There is no need to pay special attention to it?

So for a long time, Li Chengxi's only thought about Alyssa was "I want to play space wars."

He never hides his thoughts, including Alyssa. Anyone who knows Li Chengxi's existence knows this. He doesn't obey any orders. I go out to play when I want to.

Therefore, in this war, Li Chengxi looks at it from a third-party perspective. To put it more bluntly, he regards the war as a playground. If you don't fight me, where can I have fun?

But all this has changed just now.

Li Chengxi clearly said that I want to join this war.

Alyssa doesn't know what caused Li Chengxi's thoughts to change, nor does she know how Li Chengxi will participate in this war, but one thing is clear.

When the unknown existence of Li Chengxi decides to get deeply involved in something, the situation may become more complicated.

He did not explain the reason to Alyssa, but simply informed her of the result, which is actually what Alyssa is most worried about.

Every time Li Chengxi acts on his own, he will cause a lot of trouble, and Alyssa is tired...

"Orbit circularization is completed, and the attitude is stable."

Alyssa opened her eyes and glanced at the star map:

"Azimuth 86, cruising speed, let's go to the fleet to join up."

"Understood, half the ship speed."

The Swan changed direction and broke away from the low-Earth orbit. The cruiser and mobile aircraft carrier forces were nearby.

While the Swan took the lead in the charge below, the cruiser and mobile aircraft carrier fleets were clearing the remaining forces of the Red Maple Republic in orbit. They were not idle. Without them, the subsequent reinforcements would not be able to come down at all.

After rejoining the formation, the fleet commander sent a battle report.

The fleet of the Red Maple Republic in this galaxy has retreated.

There are thousands of warships on both sides, and it is expected that the battle will last for several days. It must be a problem to retreat so quickly.

Alyssa carefully read the battle report, which can be roughly summarized as the surprise attack launched by the Rotating Water Federation Fleet from the side and rear of the Red Maple Republic Fleet from all directions. The Thunder Pattern Sea Serpent Cannon destroyed the Red Maple Republic's reactor jammer at the cost of losing three of its own.

This is why the reactor jammer was not seen in operation after the Swan went down.

The destruction of the reactor jammer alone would not allow the Red Maple Republic fleet to withdraw, but the closure of the star gate was a sure kill.

Losing the star gate means that the Red Maple Republic Army has lost the channel for reinforcements to arrive in the first place. Facing the continuous reinforcements from the Rotating Water Federation, if they do not retreat, their fleet may be left here.

Whether it is the Red Maple Republic or the Rotating Water Federation, once the two countries switch to a wartime system, the speed of building warships is quite amazing. Losing one or two fleets can be quickly rebuilt.

But people can't do that.

Weapons, after all, need people to operate them. Well-trained crew members, experienced captains, even skilled mechanics and maintenance personnel, these are not something that can be created by just thinking.

The so-called wartime expansion of the army means that new recruits will be given crash training, but not all ships will be full of new recruits. Basically, each ship is a mixture of new and old, and the old will lead the new to form combat effectiveness as soon as possible.

The Red Maple Republic has a fleet guarding this star system of about 4,000 ships, and less than 300 ships were actually lost in the artillery battle. Most of the losses were light warships such as cruisers, and the main fleet was almost unscathed.

If they send the fleet away here, the subsequent war will be very disadvantageous.

At present, the 7th, 11th and 19th fleets of the Rotating Water Federation are tracking the enemy fleet. Due to the loss of the star gate, the Red Maple Republic fleet cannot quickly withdraw to the rear, and the Rotating Water Federation is organizing other fleets to encircle and suppress it.

It seems that the situation has reversed, and the Rotating Water Federation has gained a decisive advantage, but the price is not small.

In order to ensure superior forces, fleets must be drawn from other places to implement the Meteor Plan, but there are also fleets of the Red Maple Republic in other places.

In order to take back the star gate, the Xuanshui Federation lost six of the dozen star systems it controlled. In addition to the important habitable star systems and resource star systems, more than half of the territory fell because of the fleet being withdrawn in this operation.

This is the price.

Pulling out the knife stuck in the chest, the Xuanshui Federation took several punches, and now it’s a matter of who has a thicker health bar.
