From cannon fodder to sweeping across thousands of stars.

Chapter 652: Eye of Serpent

"Good! The backup deflection field is also overloaded! Everyone, attack!"

At the same time when someone shouted in the communication channel, the huge deflection force field that covered the entire assembly center in front of the attacking force finally collapsed after several rounds of volleys, and Amber took the lead without hesitation and rushed into the final defense circle.

The following scenes were not surprising at all, and became a series of "unparalleled editing". In the end, the "EX Sword of Promised Victory" swept across the main control room in the core area of ​​the assembly center in a slow-motion scene.

At this moment, Amber could even see the stunned, surprised and frightened expressions on the faces of the federal staff in the main control room.

Then in the next second, all living beings were burned to ashes by the high-temperature plasma lightsaber.
Before Amber in the flashback could be happy for a single second, the next scene that appeared before her eyes was a small tactical situation star map popping up from the cockpit of the 'ATLAS', and the rear end of the fleet was also engulfed in a red light representing danger.

"The Federation Navy fleet is closing in! The rearguard fleet has entered the bombardment range and is ready to meet the enemy!"

An anxious voice sounded in the communication channel. Amber recognized it as Ramos' voice, but he had no way to provide support at this time because he was leading the assault troops to "hollow out" the inner core of the entire assembly center like a group of termites. Even if he wanted to provide support, it was too late.

At this moment, a familiar voice appeared in the communication channel.

"Poseidon Squadron, start attacking! The main fleet has to reorganize as soon as possible. We will cover your breakout!"

On the tactical situation star map, several triangular icons representing the 'Poseidon' squadron finally found a favorable attack position after continuous tactical maneuvers, stealth, and feints. At this moment when the Federal Fleet was entangled with the Atlas Fleet's rear guard and they had no way to change the combat trajectory, they penetrated from the flank.

"This is the rear guard fleet command. We have been entangled by the Federation Fleet and cannot escape! However, we will find a way to delay long enough for the main fleet to complete its combat objectives and then evacuate! For Atlas!"

The voice of the rear guard fleet commander also sounded in the communication channel, and these ships quickly turned their axes and began to fight with the federal fleet.

Then Amber saw the rear guard of the main fleet and the 'Poseidon' squadron disappearing like snowflakes. After all, the opponent Amber and her team were facing now was three federal fleets. The advantage in numbers, after being converted into an advantage in firepower projection, was difficult to be resolved by sophisticated tactics.

But this does not mean that the 'Poseidon' squadron and the rearguard fleet were doing useless work, especially when these warships were determined to die, and they displayed a fighting method that was completely inconsistent with the tradition of fleet combat, which also caused considerable casualties to the federal fleet.

Because when all the main guns of a warship are overheated and damaged, and the heavy plasma torpedoes and anti-ship missiles used for close combat have all missed their target, they themselves are the last "torpedo".

The helmsmen nervously and excitedly pushed the clock to 'forward four'. In the frenzy of the entire fleet at this moment, they had long forgotten what fear was.

Amid the roar of the main fusion reactor and the groaning of the ship's structural frame under the sudden acceleration, the relative speed between these warships and the impact targets quickly reached hundreds of kilometers per second. After being pulled into a combat distance of 2000 kilometers, less than twenty seconds was not enough for the federal warships to complete the evasion.

Then, a series of collisions occurred.

The attack formation of the three fleets of the Federation Navy exposed its over-dense shortcomings at this time, and the entire fleet's front and right wing were immediately thrown into chaos due to the collision. When Amber led the assault troops out of the assembly center, which had basically turned into wreckage, the first thing they saw was the "Eternity" at the forefront of the fleet starting the second round of main gun fire, but because it had already carried out "three consecutive shots" before, it could only fire one round this time.

But even so, the golden purification beams caused even more chaos for the vanguard of the federal fleet.

It was at this time that Amber, who had gradually awakened from her "battle frenzy", realized that the entire rearguard fleet had been destroyed, and the "Poseidon" squadron had only the last four warships, including the flagship "Winged Trooper", and they also launched a final round of charge towards the flank warships of the federal fleet with no way back.
"Boss! Boss!"

In a trance, Amber heard the voice of Ramos. The anxious voice of the temporary fleet commander completely brought him out of the "release" state and back to normal.

"I am here."

Ramos: "We will prepare to break out now, but I'm afraid it's too late to analyze the jump coordinates. The deflection field of the 'Eternity' is about to collapse."

"Don't use the predetermined coordinates for analysis. Trafalgar is waiting for us to do so. He will definitely have the fleet reduce the density of firepower, and then wait for our jump engine to enter the analysis state, and then use the most violent rounds of salvos to directly annihilate us!"

As soon as Amber's words rang in Ramos' ears, the latter heard the tactical information coordinator on the bridge of the Eternal shouting: "Commander, the enemy's firepower density has decreased, we can try an emergency jump!"

"No wait! Boss said this was a trap!"

Ramos immediately spoke out to stop them, and then continued to ask Amber in the communication channel: "Boss, what should we do now? If we don't jump, we will be exhausted to death by the other side."

Amber naturally knew that the current situation was very urgent, but he had just come out of the "release" state and was forced into a certain calm state. In Saleh's words, it was similar to the "sage time" of human males after orgasm.

Although he seemed a little dazed, he might actually be the calmest person in this warring universe at that moment.

Soon, his sight was fixed on the body's full-circle screen, on the star that was shining brightly in the deep sky. As he looked at it, a line of information soon appeared next to the star.

Unukalhai - Alpha Serpens - 2.63 mag

This is a gas giant planet with a mass 13 times that of Jupiter.
And many stories about this planet also emerged from the depths of my memory.

Thinking of this, Amber no longer hesitated and spoke directly:

"Ramos, order all surviving warships to adjust their jump engines to 'celestial navigation' mode and navigate to 'Unukalhai - Alpha Serpens'. This will allow us to skip the coordinate analysis process and jump directly after completing the acceleration."
