Chapter 429 Never retreat!

One, two, three...

The moment the dazzling fireball rose slowly, five giant scorpions came towards it one after another and rushed into the neatly formed Xinalo fleet at the same time.

They quickly selected their respective targets - five small Xinalo frigates located at the outermost edge of the fleet.

Even though the surrounding warships poured all their ammunition at these giant scorpions, they still couldn't stop their forward momentum.

In just a few seconds, these giant scorpions rushed to the side of these small frigates in a wave of space fluctuations.

Like the giant scorpion that led the charge, they leaped forward, used their strong and hard ventral feet to firmly embrace the Xinalo warships at the outermost edge of the fleet, and then smashed these warships with their scorpion tails covered with barbs.

boom! boom! boom! !

Before the first fireball dissipated, five new fireballs rose up around the Xinalo fleet!
What was even more despairing was that these giant scorpions did not covet the food as they had done before.

Following a silent roar from the leading giant scorpion, the giant scorpions loosened their ventral feet, used the impact of the warship explosion as a springboard, and rushed straight towards the nearest Xinalo warships.

Then, there was a series of identical attack behaviors - the gastropod fixed the warship, and the scorpion tail smashed the warship.

Relying on the dark purple shield and its own hard armor, this extremely simple attack behavior became a death horn!
So far, no Xinaluo warship can escape this simple three-pronged operation!
After just one encounter, the formation that the Xinalo fleet had previously maintained was thrown into chaos.

What about the coordinated cover of antimatter naval guns and the coordinated attack of warships...

The moment the giant scorpion jumped on his face, the combat order previously issued by Artesia completely lost its effect.

Chaos!!
The light of the antimatter cannons was spreading wildly in the starry sky, and the slender and deep air blades were whistling and shooting towards the nearest giant scorpion, even though they could not cause any damage to the thick-skinned giant scorpion!

……

Xinalo Royal Expeditionary Fleet, flagship command center.

I don't know when it started, but the chaotic fluorescent light that originally filled the entire command center and flickered continuously has turned into a dim and steady light.

Gurchi's face was pale, and his body was shaking as he looked at the rapidly decreasing string of numbers on the screen in front of him - these were the coordinate parameters of each alien life form.

In just a few tens of seconds, dozens of giant scorpions had rushed into the Xinalo fleet!
"Beep-beep-beep-"

Dull warning sounds echoed in the command center, each of which meant that a Xinalo warship had lost its communication link with the flagship.

Artesia stood in the center of the command room, staring blankly at the dozens of bright yellow fireballs with a hint of red on the screen, with the dim light on their surface flickering slightly.

The gap in strength between the two sides... is too big!!
Is this really the alien life form that invaded Xinaluo's home planet? !
[General! Retreat! ]

Several deputy generals shouted anxiously: [If this continues, the Xinaluo Royal Expedition Fleet may be...]

At the same time, a communication message from Chen Fan popped up in front of Artesia.

[This is the Varela, Artesia, stop the combat mission immediately and retreat to a safe area! ]

Not only the deputy general, but even the Star Envoy asked her to retreat...

but……

Do you really want to retreat?
A trace of confusion and unwillingness flashed across Artesia's eyes.

After just a single encounter, is this expeditionary fleet, on which all the hopes of the Xinalo civilization rest, going to retreat in disgrace?
If I really want to do this...

Does the Xinalo civilization still have the courage to leave this star system?
Counterattack the mother planet...is there really still a chance to achieve it?

She gritted her teeth, and a hint of struggle flashed in her eyes.

[General Artesia! We cannot retreat! ! ! ]

Suddenly, a dazzling fluorescent light came from the side, attracting the attention of Artesia and several lieutenants.

A combat armor stood up from its seat, and under the gaze of everyone, the heavy visor slowly rose, revealing Gulchi inside, whose face was pale and body was trembling slightly.

【General Artesia.】

The fluorescence on Gurchi's body surface was trembling irregularly, revealing his inner panic without any cover, but he still narrated as calmly as possible: [Fifty years ago, the soldiers who participated in the war to defend the mother planet knew that once they showed the idea of ​​running away and retreating in front of these bugs, the only way waiting for you was death.]

[They will attack your back without hesitation and even create various obstacles to prevent your retreat.]

[In the battle to defend the mother planet, only the soldiers who charge forward have a glimmer of hope for survival. ]

Gurqi closed his eyes slightly and took a deep breath: [Besides, we have no way to retreat. Behind us is Xinaluo Star. If a bug takes the opportunity to go to Xinaluo Star, the consequences will be...]

Artesia shuddered slightly, she could even imagine the devastating scene in her mind! !
Beside him, a young deputy general tried to refute Gurchi's words: [The Star Envoy is here...]

[What if the Star Envoy makes a mistake?] Gurchi glared at the deputy general with a scorching gaze and shouted, [Do you dare to gamble with the lives of all the Xinaluo people and the life of Her Majesty the Queen?!]

The deputy general was speechless. He didn't dare.

Not to mention him, even Artesia cannot bear this responsibility.

[Moreover, is it really a good idea to leave the task of resisting the invasion entirely to the Star Envoy?] Gurchi looked straight at Artesia and expressed the concerns that Artesia had always had in her heart, [Will the Xinalo civilization that survived under such protection still be the Xinalo civilization?]

[Do our descendants still have the courage to face this starry sky? ! ]

Gurchi took another deep breath, and the trembling fluorescence on his body gradually stabilized: [General, please give me a small warship, I am willing to intercept these alien life forms! ]

After these words were spoken, the command center fell silent again.

【I see. 】

Artesia let out a long breath, and the fluorescence around her gradually stabilized: [Unless all alien life forms die, otherwise...]

[The Xinaluo Royal Expedition Fleet will never retreat! ]

[Notify the fleet to adjust the formation and focus all firepower on the leading bug! ]

Artesia's expression was somewhat ferocious: [Tell everyone, even if we have to use warships to ram them, we must stop these bugs from leaving the Xinaluo star system!!!]

【in addition……】

[Flagship enters!!]

……

Frontal battlefield.

A strong space-time fluctuation was rippling around the Xinalo flagship retreating at the rear of the fleet - at this point, the alien life forms had already discovered the Xinalo civilization, and there was no point in concealing the curvature engine any longer!

Surrounded and protected by a number of warships, the huge Xinaluo flagship flexibly rushed towards the extremely large giant scorpion on the front battlefield! !
At the same time, orders were issued from the flagship to each of the Xinalo warships.

The flagship's participation in the battle obviously gave the chaotic fleet a shot in the arm. The Xinalo fleet, which had been like a pile of scattered sand and fighting independently, struggled to integrate a new fleet formation around the huge flagship.

These warships firmly guarded the flagship, and under the leadership of the flagship, they rushed towards the giant scorpion that had already been locked by Gurchi! !

To capture the thief, capture the king first! !

Faced with the oncoming huge fleet, the leading giant scorpion did not hesitate at all. It opened its sharp mouthparts and let out a silent hiss. The giant scorpions scattered around followed the same trick and tried to launch surprise attacks on the small warships from the side of the fleet, thus hindering the fleet's momentum to charge forward.

but……

Before the giant scorpion got close, the small warship selected as the target of attack took the initiative to break away from the fleet formation and went straight to the giant scorpion that opened its abdomen and tried to stabilize itself!
A hint of confusion flashed in the giant scorpion's scarlet eyes at the "food" that was delivered to its door, but it still subconsciously tightened its abdominal feet and raised its long scorpion tail, trying to accumulate strength for a fatal blow.

The next second, a message came out from this small warship and floated towards the surrounding Xinalo fleet and the Xinalo star system behind.

【Take back the mother planet! 】

[Xina Luo Fleet, never retreat!!!]

boom! ! !
Before the giant scorpion could react, an extremely violent explosion suddenly exploded in its abdomen! !
This small battleship actively released all the antimatter inside the battleship!!
The huge amount of energy generated by the annihilation of matter and antimatter was almost wasted as it all hit the belly of the giant scorpion! !

Even with the dual protection of armor and shields, such a large-yield explosion still caused considerable damage to it!

A trace of pain suddenly flashed across the giant scorpion's scarlet eyes, and a silent hissing sound came from its open, ferocious mouth!
Its body twitched violently, and like a centipede doused in boiling water, it quickly curled up into a ball.

Such scenes occurred in every corner of the fleet.

Facing the giant scorpion's obstruction and attack, all the small warships chose the same strategy - even if it meant ramming, they had to win a chance for the Xinaluo flagship to counterattack! !
At this moment, the Xinaluo fleet even completely abandoned its defense! !
Long and thin space cracks appeared in front of the fleet formation and shot towards the giant scorpion in the lead at an extremely high speed!

Faced with such a fearless fighting style, the giant scorpion that was chosen as the target finally showed signs of cowardice.

A strong fluctuation of time and space flashed around its body, trying to escape from this place of trouble.

【quick! 】

Inside the Xinalo flagship, Artesia watched the increasing space-time fluctuations around the giant scorpion and clenched her fists: [Faster, faster! ! ]

but……

Things didn't seem to be developing as Artesia had expected.

Before the attack from the Xinalo fleet arrived, the giant scorpion's figure suddenly became illusory!

It successfully entered the superluminal curvature state and disappeared in the visible universe!!
