Chapter 1311: Fighting Blood Bar

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

New orders arrived after the Swan completed its resupply, ordering it to return to the void and reunite with the cruiser and aircraft carrier formation.

This order was not actually because the fleet of the Whirlpool Federation needed the Swan for help, but mainly because it needed Alyssa.

It is very dangerous in a gravity environment. If the low-Earth orbit is retaken by the Red Maple Republic, the Swan will become a target of orbital bombing.

The Xuanshui Federation cannot afford to lose the granddaughter of its hero. This will deal a heavy blow to morale. The war situation, which 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 delivered booster rockets, and the Swan was not allowed to stay on the ground for long, requiring Alyssa to return to the void immediately.

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

"The altitude angle is normal, the speed is normal, and the thermal barrier has been broken."

"Main engines ignited."

"Understood, main engines ignited, circularizing orbit."

Since transport supply ships and assault landing ships can still continuously come down from orbit, it means that Stantum's low-Earth orbit has been controlled by the Whirlpool Federation. The Swan did not encounter any interception during its return 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 about most now is what Li Chengxi said to her, I will participate in this war.

Alyssa never figured out who Li Chengxi was, but according to the agreement between them, Alyssa provided supplies and Li Chengxi would help her retrieve the starship.

The relationship between the two is just such a simple mutually beneficial one, not that complicated.

In fact, Li Chengxi’s relationship with everyone on the Swan is not close. He can only talk to them. The one he is most familiar with is Fang Lanyin. After all, who can refuse a cat girl who is both considerate and supportive?

Although Li Chengxi helped Alyssa through many crises, he did it voluntarily and without any other reason. He just did it because he was happy to do so.

Viola is Li Chengxi's foundation, while Yang Yiyi is more like Li Chengxi's adopted daughter. What about Alyssa?
Nothing special to pay attention to?
So for a long time, Li Chengxi's only thought about Alyssa was "I want to play Space Wars."

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

Therefore, in this war, Li Chengxi looked at it from a third-party perspective. To put it more bluntly, he regarded the war as an amusement park. Where can I have fun if you don't fight me?
But all this changed just now.

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

Alyssa didn't know what caused Li Chengxi's change of mind, nor did she know how Li Chengxi got involved in this war, but one thing was clear.

When the unknown existence 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 was actually what Alyssa was most worried about.

Every time Li Chengxi acted on his own, he would cause a lot of trouble. Alyssa was tired...

"The orbit is circularized and the attitude is stable." Alyssa opened her eyes and glanced at the star map:
"Bearing 86, cruising speed, we are going to rendezvous with the fleet."

"Understood, half ship speed."

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

While the Swan was leading the charge below, the cruisers and mobile aircraft carrier fleets were clearing out 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 Red Maple Republic's fleet in this galaxy has already retreated.

There are thousands of warships on both sides firing at each other, and it is expected that the battle will probably last for several days. There will definitely be some problems if they retreat so quickly.

Alyssa took a close look at the battle report, which could be roughly summarized as follows: the Whirlwater Federation fleet, which surrounded from all directions, launched a surprise attack from the side and rear of the Red Maple Republic fleet. The Thunder Pattern Sea Serpent Cannon destroyed the Red Maple Republic's reactor jammer at the cost of losing three of its own units.

This is also why the reactor jammer was not seen operating after the Swan went down.

The destruction of the reactor jammer alone would not be enough to force the Red Maple Republic's fleet to withdraw, but the closure of the star gate was a fatal blow.

Without the Star Gate, the Red Maple Republic Army would lose the passage through which reinforcements could arrive in the first place. And facing the continuous influx of reinforcements from the Rotating Water Federation, if they did not retreat, their fleet would probably be left here.

No matter whether it is the Red Maple Republic or the Xuanshui Federation, once the two countries switch to a wartime system, the speed of building warships is quite astonishing. Even if they lose one or two fleets, they can be rebuilt quickly.

But people can't do that.

Weapons, after all, need people to operate them. Well-trained crew members, experienced captains, even skillful mechanics and maintenance personnel, these are not things that can be conjured up on the spur of the moment.

The so-called wartime military expansion means that new recruits will be given crash training, but a ship will not be filled with recruits entirely. Basically, every ship is a mixture of new and old recruits, with the old bringing the new with them to help them form combat effectiveness as quickly as possible.

The Red Maple Republic's fleet guarding this star system consisted of approximately 4,000 ships, and less than 300 ships were actually lost in the artillery battle, with the vast majority of those lost being light warships such as cruisers. The main fleet was almost unscathed.

If they lose their fleet here, the subsequent war will be very disadvantageous.

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

It seemed that the situation had reversed and the Whirlpool Federation had gained a decisive advantage, but the price was not small.

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

In order to get back the Star Gate, the Swirl Water Federation lost six of the dozen or so star systems it controlled. Except for the important habitable star systems and resource star systems, more than half of the territory fell because the fleet was withdrawn in this operation.

This is the price.

After pulling out the knife from its chest, the Xuanshui Federation took several punches. Now it was a matter of who had a thicker health bar.
