Chapter 1384: Encounter in the Zhenguang Galaxy (10)

When people face a major crisis or extreme stress, they tend to enter a paranoid state.

This situation often occurs on the battlefield and often happens to pilots in peacetime.

Take civil aviation pilots for example. When an airplane malfunctions, some extremely nervous pilots will paranoidly conclude that there is an error somewhere and blindly correct it, while turning a blind eye to the real error.

Therefore, civil aviation introduced the mechanism of flight inspection and double inspection by two persons, for fear that when an accident occurs, pilots will become paranoid and think that they are the only one who is right.

The same is true on the battlefield. Some commanders will become extremely paranoid when they are under extreme stress. It seems that their brains have lost the ability to work in multiple threads and they will only stare at one place.

For example, when the front line is defeated, some commanders will order to defend a certain fortress to the death. This is not based on a rational judgment of the situation, but purely out of a paranoid belief that as long as they hold the fortress, they will not lose. They do not care about other situations at all, and do not consider whether the fortress can be defended.

What’s even more terrifying is that when people fall into this state, they won’t listen to advice at all, unless you can go up and slap them in the face, or simply beat them up until they wake up.

Alyssa knew that there must be a large number of staff officers in the flagship's command center, and it was impossible for all of them to enter a paranoid state, but it was hard to say whether the staff officers had the courage to beat up the commander.

As time passed, Alyssa watched with her own eyes as the warships in her fleet caught fire one after another. Some warships exploded into fireworks on the spot, and there was no time to abandon ship and escape.

She clutched the armrest tightly, already thinking about how she would defend herself in the military court if she led the team to evacuate without permission.

At this time, Villania brought good news:

"Although there is still noise, communication has been restored."

Alyssa immediately called up the fleet command system. In the occasional flashing snowflakes, she could barely see that the number of ships under her command had been reduced from 135 to less than 70, and the loss rate was almost half.

"Order all shuttles to take off and drop mines at the locations I designate. All warships to prepare for pulse flight."

Regardless of whether the fleet command had issued an order or not, Alyssa would never watch her warships die in vain. Her sense of responsibility meant that she would not stand there in a daze even if she was brought to a military court afterwards.

However, with the mentality of giving it one last try, Alyssa sent a request for retreat to the headquarters. Once the mines were deployed, Alyssa would take her men and run away regardless of whether the headquarters agreed or not.

While the mines were being deployed, Alyssa kept staring at the display, correcting the fleet's route from time to time.

The impact of the radio storm is gradually decreasing, but there is no guarantee that it will happen again. After all, whether the stellar activity is intense or not is not up to her.

So the window to escape is now. If you miss this opportunity, you won’t be sure of it in the future.

"Mine deployment complete, shuttle recovered."

The command center still did not send any reply, just "read".

Alyssa snorted and called up the optical sighting equipment.

Soon he saw flashes of explosions in the direction of the Knights Introduction Agency battleship and the Red Maple Republic battleship that were chasing behind him, and realized that the mines had been triggered.

This should slow down the pursuers a bit.

She immediately ordered the entire fleet to sail at high speed.

Cruise ships are the fastest of all ships, and speeding takes speed to the extreme.

The engine lights of every warship were turned on to the maximum, and even the mobile aircraft carrier, which was slightly slower than the cruiser, could barely keep up with the team. The Swan did not need to speed up, it was now the fastest legend in the void, and at full speed it could match the speed of half of the cruisers at their utmost, so it had to hold back on the throttle.

The distance between them was widening rapidly, and the smoke obscured the artillery fire from behind, which gradually became sparse, and they slowly got out of the enemy's artillery fire range.

"We have received information from the headquarters. Each squadron will evacuate on its own. The squadron commander will be responsible for the details of the evacuation."

Although she finally received the order to retreat, Alyssa still couldn't help but curse, "What a rip-off!"
The cruise fleet can evacuate on its own because cruise ships are maneuverable and the intensity of combat is not high. The main fleet is currently being trapped. Do you want the commanders of the squadrons that make up the main fleet to study the details of the retreat on their own?

Without a flagship to coordinate the fleet, wouldn't this lead to chaos in the fleet?
What a rip-off!

When Alyssa's blood pressure went through the roof, Li Chengxi picked up the lemonade on the armrest and took a big gulp. The cool taste seemed to soothe the fatigue caused by just concentrating.

Li Chengxi really had no idea how stupid Alyssa was. He was watching Fang Lanyin and a group of mechanics trying their best to repair the damaged Silver Tornado.

I guess Vilania didn't expect that the first battle of the modified Silver Tornado would be to follow Li Chengxi to attack the warship, and it could actually come back relatively intact.

And Hall...

She was wheeled away by the medical team.

Hall was not injured, but suffered from mental fatigue and physical dehydration due to extreme concentration and tension. She fell into a coma after entering the Swan's hangar. It was Fang Lanyin and a group of mechanics who opened the cockpit door from the outside. The medical team was dispatched urgently and gave Hall an emergency injection at the speed of light and pushed her to the ward.

Hall was pushing himself a little too hard, almost risking his life to achieve a breakthrough in driving skills.

But it is this kind of people who can reach the top. She was just too impatient and should be more steady.

Li Chengxi also reflected on it. It was okay to take Hall to attack the warship, but he couldn't attack too much. After all, she was sitting in the cockpit in her physical body, and the physical burden was different from that of Li Chengxi who was sitting at home.

Having said that, although Li Chengxi didn't know that Alyssa was going to greet the fleet commander's entire family, and he didn't understand anything about fleet command, he could easily see that the battle situation was unfavorable.

The main fleet was being circled, and the cruising fleet led by Alyssa had lost nearly half of its warships.

Most importantly, the enemy's losses are minimal, and you have not been able to fight back effectively.

In this case, retreat is the best option, unless a fleet suddenly appears to support them.

But this is not realistic. The Red Maple Republic does not have enough troops for the time being, and the Xuanshui Federation does not have abundant troops either, otherwise the ships added to the fleet would not be filled with new recruits.

Forget about support. If we retreat now, we can still preserve most of our strength. If we continue to drag it out until we can't even run away, then we will be really helpless.

At this moment, he saw the Swan and the patrol fleet accelerate and separate with a pulse flight, and then immediately start the jump.

The cruise fleet is not the first to evacuate because they are betraying their teammates. The normal retreat process is to let the cruise ships go first. On the one hand, this is because the cruise ships are small, and if they leave later they will be dragged into the shielding force field and cannot escape.

On the other hand, the cruise ship fleet will go first to scout whether there is an ambush at the retreat site, which is equivalent to exploring the way.

This also means that the attack by the Third and Fifth Fleets ended in failure.
