When the heavy cruiser that suddenly arrived began to lock on the second target, Lucian finally knew that the situation was over and made a decisive decision to immediately lead the remaining fleet to retreat. Chu Jungui was caught off guard, so he had to focus on one heavy cruiser and damaged its engine. However, Lu Xien's flagship took the opportunity to escape from the battlefield.
Speed is the eternal flaw of the light-year starship. Chu Jungui could only look at Lucien's rapidly retreating tail nozzle and lament in his heart.
The Lucien Combined Fleet has 4 heavy cruisers and 4 light cruisers. The combat power of the two Winged Knights alone reaches 32,000. The total combat power of the entire fleet exceeds 70,000, which is higher than Chu Jungui's estimated combat power of 61,000. Out of line. This was originally a close battle. In actual combat, Chu Jungui relied on his excellent command and precise artillery fire to accumulate a little more advantage in each offensive and defensive round. When the advantage was large enough, he defeated his opponent in one fell swoop.
Unexpectedly, an uninvited guest suddenly appeared. It was extremely powerful, but it ended up disrupting Chu Jungui's inevitable victory.
In the end, three of the four heavy cruisers escaped, one of the four light cruisers was destroyed, one was severely damaged and lost speed, and the remaining two also escaped.
The three relatively intact frigates also managed to escape. Li Ruobai only had two destroyers and could not stop them. So the final result was one heavy cruiser and two light cruisers. Fortunately, all the transport ships stopped and surrendered, otherwise Chu Jungui's heart would be even more painful.
As for the losses, they were negligible, with casualties in single digits. Four destroyers were damaged and needed to be repaired for a period of time.
The ancient and ferocious heavy cruiser did not approach Chu Jungui's fleet. It turned around and left the battlefield just like this. It just left a message before leaving: "You're welcome, little guy!"
Chu Jungui did not pursue them, nor did he ask about their identities, because it was useless to ask. At this moment, Chu Jungui just wanted to say to them: "Thank you!"
It wasn't until Gujiu Heavy Patrol disappeared from sight that Chu Jungui finally regained his composure and ordered: "Save people."
The destroyers immediately dispersed and began to recover the life capsules floating in the universe. The destroyers under the command of Li Ruobai had already docked with the transport ship and began to take over authority one by one. The transport ship was indeed full of heavily armed soldiers, but they were all honest and surrendered without firing a single shot. This is the deep space of the universe, and resisting will only lead to death.
After half a day's work, the battlefield was cleaned up, and Chu Jungui finally counted the results.
In this battle, a total of 1 heavy cruiser, 1 light cruiser and 4 transport ships were captured, and one light cruiser was destroyed. The Louis family fleet suffered 1,100 casualties and 3,300 prisoners, 2,000 of whom were base garrison troops scheduled to rotate. The transport ship not only had a full set of equipment for these people, but also had enough supplies to sustain the entire base for half a year. Needless to say, these were all advantageous to Chu Jungui.
A destroyed light cruiser can recover 30% of its materials and 15% of its equipment. The integrity of the captured heavy cruiser and light cruiser is about 85%. These two starships are roughly equivalent to the standard starships currently in service in the Federation, and are about 30 years ahead of light-year starships. Preliminary statistics show that the two starships can roughly bring 35 core technology updates and hundreds of edge technology updates to Chu Jungui. When all technologies are fully digested, the combat power of the Lightyear destroyer can be increased by about 300-500, and the cost will increase by about 100 million.
After cleaning the battlefield, the next step is battle replay and evaluation. There is nothing much to say about the part that Chu Jungui is responsible for. It is either 100 or 99. The one point deducted is probably due to high body temperature and slowed down thinking speed. Each starship has completed its assigned tasks quite well. Since joining Lightyear, the combat level of the crew and soldiers has skyrocketed.
Li Ruobai, who commanded independently, was an unexpected surprise. He commanded well and had a well-founded advance and retreat. He used two destroyers to bite the opponent's transport fleet, and he also withstood the flanking attack of the Winged Knights. All in all, this was a glorious victory, if it hadn't been for the sudden appearance of the ancient heavy cruiser.
Chu Jungui has launched all channels to investigate the origin of the ancient heavy patrol, and at the same time asked Xino to secretly keep an eye on Lucien's movements. Chu Jungui concluded that Lucien would not think that he would lose this battle, so he would blame all the reasons for the defeat on the ancient heavy cruiser. After returning, he would definitely launch all-out efforts to investigate the origin of the heavy cruiser.
After cleaning the battlefield, Li Ruobai retreated first with the transport ship and loot, and then Chu Jungui led the six intact destroyers to jump into space again. Things weren't over yet when he came out this time. There was still another route that he hadn't had time to rob.
In the deep sky, a light cruiser and two transport ships were sailing quietly. This route has always been safe, and there is a federal squadron base not far away. At the same time, the emblem of the Louis family on the fleet will make the star thieves retreat.
In the light patrol command room, the captain and two officers were toasting and chatting in a leisurely manner.
"I really envy those guys at the back. They won't come back after a long vacation, right?" an officer said.
Another officer nodded: "Although it is a pity to lose this job, it is better than being under the hands of that fool."
"Yes, when General Lucien led us in the past, good things would happen every now and then. Unlike now, besides training, it's like training, as if we are really going to fight." Another officer also said.
"Captain, what about you? You don't want to follow that idiot Xino, do you?"
The captain's eyes were deep, and he smiled bitterly when he heard this: "I'm not like you, so how can I have a choice? I can only continue to work here."
The officers were a little disapproving, "With your talent, why can't you find a good position? Why do you have to accept the flattery of those instructors every day?"
The captain thought thoughtfully, "Speaking of this, those instructors are really good. I'm afraid none of the instructors I had in the military academy before were as good as them."
"What's the use of being better? We don't need to go to the battlefield."
"That is, if we are going to fight on the battlefield, who will come here?"
The captain sighed: "Anyway, this is just a job, it doesn't matter who you do it for. When you get to your destination, you will also leave, right?"
The two officers looked at each other and smiled: "Have you seen this? We plan to use all kinds of leave. Let's take three months off first."
The captain frowned and said, "If you do this, you will offend Xino to death."
"If you don't want to offend him, you have to offend General Lucian. Do you have any choice now?" The two officers sneered.
"That's true." The captain looked worried. If he didn't leave, it would be equivalent to offending Lucian. It's just that Lucien currently has limited starships, and he is not Lucien's direct descendant. Otherwise, he would have been taken away when the fleet was split up. How could he be thrown to Sino?
The fleet flew quietly in deep space, as quiet as if everything had stopped.
At the mobile base, there was a roar in Sino's office, followed by the sound of something being thrown to the ground. After venting his anger, Xino calmed down, returned to his seat, pressed the intercom, called the adjutant in, and ordered: "Clean this place, immediately!"
The adjutant was a lieutenant colonel in his thirties. He frowned a little when he heard this. He slowly bent down and began to pick up the broken teacups, vases and scattered documents on the ground.
Sino pressed the communicator again, called the deputy commander of the fleet, and immersed himself in processing documents while waiting.
A few minutes later, Fleet Deputy Commander Keith walked into the office and was startled when he saw the mess on the ground.
Xino then raised his head and saw that the adjutant was still cleaning up slowly, and immediately shouted: "You haven't finished cleaning up after so long, haven't you eaten enough?! What's the use of a waste like you?"
The adjutant's face turned red instantly, he stood up and said loudly: "I am an officer of the fleet, not a cleaner, and I am not your servant! You threw this pile of garbage, you can clean it up yourself!"
Xino stared at him, his eyebrows gradually rose, and he said coldly: "I can't deal with you anymore, can I?"
The adjutant also took the risk and said loudly: "This order of yours is just to humiliate people. It can't be justified anywhere! Don't think that you are at a high level now. What's the use of being high? Your original team has abandoned you long ago." Well, I’m telling you, you really can’t do anything to me! At worst, drive me away!”
"Want to leave? It's not that easy, right?" Sino sneered and said: "If I fire you, I will compensate you from the fleet funds. How can such a good thing be done? Besides, the family also spent a lot of money to train you. That's it. It would be a waste to let you go. Keith!"
Keith stood at attention and saluted.
Sino said: "Transfer this guy to the logistics department to wash the deck. Didn't he say that he is not a cleaner? Then let him be a cleaner. In addition, if he is sick and wants to take sick leave, he must get my approval. Which If the military doctor dares to give him a sick leave, he will be sent to wash the deck as well!"
The lieutenant colonel's adjutant was shocked and angry, and shouted: "Sino! You are so despicable and shameless!"
Xino said with a cold face: "Don't you have connections in your family? Let them use it quickly to force me to let you go. If they can't take you away for a day, you have to wash the deck for a day."
After that, Xino said to Keith: "Choose a new adjutant for me."
"Yes, what's your request?"
"Be obedient and look good, that's all. I don't have any requirements!" Xino laughed.
Keith was a little embarrassed and said: "Currently, all those who qualify as adjutants are men. There are already very few female soldiers in mobile bases and star fleets..."
"As long as you're obedient and good-looking, what are the conditions? If you don't have enough military rank, I'll make a report and make an exception. I'm just a lieutenant colonel. Isn't it easy to make a few sets of clothes for such a big job?" Sino said carelessly.
Keith had no choice but to wave the lieutenant colonel to leave, then closed the door and said, "General Xino, are you serious? If you do this, your reputation will be very bad."
Sino sneered: "How good is my current reputation? If it were really good, so many people would ask for leave at the same time, and all of them would be at least 2 months old, and many of them would suddenly ask for leave while on missions. Yes. Does this mean that they must take leave regardless of whether I approve it or not?"
"This, maybe it's a coincidence." Keith himself didn't believe it.
"Okay, hurry up and find a new adjutant. If you don't have one, you can choose one from the military doctors and nurses." Xino waved Keith away.
When Keith walked out of the office, all the restlessness and fury on Xino's face suddenly disappeared. He looked out the window and sneered to himself: "Get off! Let you take a vacation. The boss has prepared a holiday resort for you. You can have a good rest!"
