When Zerg's fleet was within 500 kilometers of the 10th Legion, the 10th Legion's assault fleet immediately attacked. They split into two flanks and attacked Zerg's battleships, while the fleet provided heavy firepower to suppress them from the front.
The battle began very suddenly. Zerg's fleet was caught off guard and was given a beautiful first strike by the 10th Legion. However, when Zerg's battleships reacted, the battle immediately fell into a stalemate. It was difficult for the 10th Legion to gain any advantage.
This battle attracted the attention of various forces as soon as it began. Everyone wanted to see how the most elite fleet of the Star Dragon Federation would perform against Zerg's battleships. And the 10th Legion did not disappoint. After half a day of arduous battle, the 10th Legion successfully forced Zerg's battleships to retreat and won the battle.
Qin Jue stood on the deck of the main ship and looked at the ground below coldly. The originally gentle grassland had turned into scorched earth. There were flames of war burning everywhere, and blood was flowing. A tragic aura enveloped the entire land, causing everyone's mood to become incomparably heavy at this moment.
The 10th Legion had won this battle, but Qin Jue was not happy at all because the losses of the 10th Legion were too heavy.
"General, the results are out."
Yu Na slowly walked over from behind and said to Qin Jue in an extremely low voice, "We lost a total of 16 battleships, 4 patrol ships, 1 logistics ship. In terms of personnel, the assault force lost 1,800 people, the vanguard force lost 3,100 people, the logistics force lost 97 people, a total of 4,997 people."
Hearing Yu Na's report, Qin Jue closed his eyes and asked, "Where's Zerg?"
Yu Na was silent for a moment before replying, "Zerg's battleships lost two, and the number of casualties … is about 300."
Qin Jue turned his head and looked deeply at Yu Na. He pursed his lips and said, "Did we really win this battle?"
With the sacrifice of nearly 5,000 people and the loss of more than 20 battleships, they had only lost 300 Zerg's men and two battleships. Could such a victory really be considered a victory?
Rather than saying that Zerg was defeated by them, it was better to say that Zerg did not want to continue fighting with them.
"After all, Zerg retreated." Yu Na whispered, "We did win."
Qin Jue shook his head and said to Na, "The Sixth and Ninth Legions are approaching us. If we continue to fight, Zerg's fleet might fall into a pincer attack from all three sides. They saw this and chose to retreat, not be beaten back by us!"
"Furthermore!"
Qin Jue took a deep breath. "Zerg's battle losses should have only appeared when we attacked first. By the time we get there, Zerg's battle losses should have been very small."
Yu Na was silent because Qin Jue was right. In the following battles, Zerg's losses could be said to be negligible!
"In the past, people kept telling me that Zerg is a civilization of a higher level than us. At that time, I scoffed at this saying. But now, I have to admit that Zerg is indeed stronger than us!"
Qin Jue sighed. "If we want to defeat Zerg, we have to unite all the forces that can be united. Only by working together will we have a chance to defeat Zerg. Otherwise …"
Qin Jue did not continue, but Yu Na understood what Qin Jue meant. If they could not overwhelm Zerg with numbers, then they would have no chance of winning!
This was definitely not a good thing for them!
…
The results of the battle between the Tenth Legion and Zerg were immediately sent to the desks of the leaders of the major forces. The huge difference between three hundred and five thousand made everyone tremble in fear. Zerg's fleet of less than twenty warships could easily block the Tenth Legion with three hundred warships. This battle strength was really too strong and too shocking!
"If any of the legions of the Star Dragon Federation were to fight against Zerg's fleet alone, there is basically no chance of winning. We are really too weak."
The commander of the Seventh Legion, Han Xin, looked at the results sent by his deputy and sighed helplessly. Even if the Seventh Legion joined forces, they might not be able to destroy Zerg's entire fleet!
"General, the First, Second, and Third Legions have arrived. They want to meet up with the Tenth, Sixth, and Ninth Legions directly and then attack Star Dragon City."
Hearing his deputy's words, Han Xin nodded and ordered, "Pass down the order. Everyone in the Seventh Legion is to immediately pack their luggage and board the fleet to prepare to depart. Also, the Revolutionary Army is to be settled down."
The deputy looked at Han Xin hesitantly and said, "General, the Seventh Legion is not a warship force after all. If we attack Zerg together with the warship force, will …"
"What will it be?"
Han Xin interrupted his deputy and said in a deep voice, "As long as we can destroy Zerg and save Star Dragon City, the Seventh Legion is willing to charge at the front. I, as the commander, will lead the charge. If my sacrifice can be exchanged for the overall victory, then I will slit my own throat right now!"
Seeing Han Xin's resolute attitude, the deputy immediately felt guilty and said, "I'm sorry, commander, I …"
"I know what you mean, and I understand what you mean. But this is a special time. We have to be on the same side!" Han Xin comforted his deputy and said, "After giving the order, you should go and have a good rest."
"Got it."
The deputy nodded and turned to leave.
…
"Are you all done packing?"
Lü Zi looked at the people who were packing their luggage. They were about to depart with the Seventh Legion, so they needed to bring all the necessary things with them. She did not know when they would be able to come back again.
"Don't worry, we are all ready."
Long Xiao turned to look at Lü Zi and said, "I find that you are becoming more and more like the old Qinchuan. It feels like you are the good wife of the Qin Family."
Hearing Long Xiao's teasing, Lü Zi smiled and replied, "You all think that I am the good wife of the Qin Family, but Qinchuan himself may not necessarily think so."
The fact that Lü Zi liked Qinchuan was not a secret in their small circle. They had always liked to tease Lü Zi with the good wife of the Qin Family. At this time, when they heard Lü Zi's words, the first thing they thought of was Yaorao.
Although they did not dislike Yaorao, they did not like her very much. From their point of view, they certainly hoped that Qinchuan and Lü Zi could be together. But they could not say much about emotional matters. They could only let nature take its course.
"Lü Zi."
At this time, Su Youluo walked in and said to Lü Zi, "Senior Hui Tong wants to see you."
