Serpent King Fortress Defense Battle

By the fifth hour, the battle was essentially over; both the Starshine Faction's and Warhammer Faction's star fleets had begun to gradually withdraw from the battlefield.

In this battle.

Zhao Chen's Xiaolong Fleet, relying on the overwhelming combat of interstellar missile ships and other elite interstellar warships, launched the fiercest attack in a very short time.

This led to the collapse of morale in the enemy fleet.

In just five hours, they inflicted the most devastating damage on the enemy fleet.

"Medusa, victory in this battle is basically in our hands."

Although the enemy fleet was routed, I think it is not advisable for us to pursue them relentlessly at the moment. Apart from gathering and controlling the surrendered enemy ships, we only need to drive the remaining two factions' combined fleets out of the Serpent People system.

"What do you think?" Zhao Chen looked at Medusa opposite him.

"As you wish." Medusa nodded without any questions.

Her attitude towards the man in front of her is completely different now than before.

Previously, Medusa must have felt more admiration and curiosity towards this man.

Now, what fills her heart is awe, even... fear.

"Alright. The cleanup of the battlefield will be handled by your Serpent People Starfleet."

My starship will remain stationed near the stargate for a period of time, until both factions' combined fleets in the Serpent People system have completely withdrawn.

"My interstellar fleet will also withdraw from here and return to the Lion King system for rest and reorganization," Zhao Chen stated, outlining his next plans.

“Very well, my fleet will be responsible for cleaning up the battlefield, clearing all the spoils, and handing them all over to your fleet,” Medusa said earnestly.

Generally speaking, in such cooperative operations, the spoils of war should be distributed according to a certain ratio.

But now, Medusa dares not even think about these spoils.

After all, the decisive factor in this battle was the enemy's starship; her Serpent Starship was merely in the best'spectator seats'.

"These spoils don't need to be handed over to me, if I remember correctly."

There's still a Red Rose lady, right? Let her Thorn Group handle these spoils; I'll take 90% of them.

"Ideally, it should be something that can be directly exchanged for raw materials and supplies," Zhao Chen said.

Medusa looked at Zhao Chen with some surprise, not expecting him to so easily entrust her with the task of disposing of the spoils.

You have to understand, this battle...

Just look at the wreckage of interstellar warships left on the battlefield, and the surrendered interstellar warships.

It's worth at least several hundred million, or even a billion.

However, converting it into money or resources will take some processing time.

Handing it over to Medusa and the others to deal with is undoubtedly the fastest solution for Zhao Chen.

“Okay, we will handle these spoils properly. We will deliver the supplies obtained from exchanging these spoils to your Lion King system as quickly as possible,” Medusa said.

Zhao Chen is now their snake-people's protector. Since this is a task assigned by Zhao Chen, she must complete it successfully.

"By the way, could you take stock of the losses in this battle, as well as the status of your starships?"

"Later, we'll hold a meeting and invite Miss Red Rose along," Zhao Chen instructed.

"yes."

Communication ended.

Zhao Chen opened his eyes and looked at Lilith, who had been waiting for a long time beside him.

"Is there anything you need to report?" Zhao Chen asked.

Lilith said, "All the starships of the Dragonflight fleet have withdrawn to the stargate next to the Serpent Fortress, and the battle summary report has been compiled."

At this point, Lilith's eyes showed a strange look.

“Go on,” Zhao Chen said, looking at Lilith.

Lilith said solemnly, "In this battle, we directly annihilated 35,000 enemy interstellar warships. Preliminary statistics show that the Serpent Race captured more than 3,000 interstellar warships, most of which were T1 interstellar warships and a small number of T2 interstellar warships."

The remaining enemy fleet all withdrew from the Serpent People system.

In this battle, the Starshine Faction's interstellar fleet suffered the greatest losses. Of the original 30,000 interstellar warships, only 5,000 managed to escape, and all T3 interstellar warships perished.

This includes three leaders, as well as a large number of senior executives.

The Warhammer Starfleet fared slightly better, with 15,000 Starfleet ships evacuating.

In this battle, the enemy anticipates losing one million interstellar soldiers.

"And what about our losses?" Zhao Chen asked.

Lilith hesitated for a moment, then continued, "In this campaign, we consumed 1.5 billion star coins in war resources."

Several interstellar warships were damaged to varying degrees, and one of our T2 Black Rhinos was destroyed and perished in a fierce retaliatory attack by the enemy fleet.

Most of the personnel on board were evacuated...

"Most of them evacuated? That means there are still some who haven't evacuated." Zhao Chen understood the implication in those words.

Lilith nodded silently.

Zhao Chen asked, "So that means we suffered casualties in this battle?"

“Yes.” Lilith looked at Zhao Chen with some concern.

Logically speaking, casualties are a perfectly normal occurrence in interstellar warfare.

However, it should be noted that this is actually quite unusual within the JF-17 fleet.

Because before this, the JF-17 fleet had experienced no casualties in any of the battles, large or small!

"It's not just the loss of starship personnel; there have also been casualties among the interstellar fighters... and hundreds more have been injured to varying degrees, but they have been received and are receiving treatment at T3 Andromeda," Lilith interjected.

In this battle, the enemy possessed 60,000 interstellar warships.

Although most of them were small-scale interstellar warships, in the chaotic battlefield situation, some unexpected situations were bound to occur. 𝐟𝕣𝗲𝕖𝕨𝗲𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝗲𝚕.𝗰𝚘𝐦

"Do you have a detailed list of the fallen and their details?" Zhao Chen asked.

“Here it is.” Lilith holographically projected a list of fallen soldiers in front of Zhao Chen’s eyes.

Zhao Chen looked at the list of fallen soldiers in front of him; it was actually quite small.

The kind that you can count at a glance.

A total of fifteen personnel were killed in action.

Seven of them were personnel serving on the T2 Black Rhino-class interstellar heavy assault frigate. They did not escape in time when the T2 Black Rhino was destroyed and perished.

The remaining eight were all pilots of T3 Phoenix-class starfighters. They were targeted by enemy anti-aircraft guns during interstellar combat and were hit without being able to escape in time.

"I know about this." Zhao Chen glossed over the matter lightly.

Lilith looked at Zhao Chen with some surprise. She had originally thought that this first instance of death would cause the commander to have a great emotional reaction.

At this moment, Zhao Chen's thoughts drifted to the Xiaolong Galaxy.

That T4 Reborn-class clone starship was docked.

This should be considered its first 'job'.
