Amid the auspicious officer's alarm, two more enemy ships appeared, both appearing to be the same model as the previous one.

As soon as they appeared, they immediately aimed at the Unbound Soul and launched strange energy waves.

Those beams of light cut through the dark void and hit the void shield, causing ripples.

The two Gladius frigates that narrowly escaped death quickly merged with the other two Sword-class frigates to form a new formation and began to approach the enemy and fire.

But there was still no result, and the ammunition seemed to just dissipate when it hit the enemy ship.

But this does not mean that they are really useless. At least they can weaken the enemy's shields, eventually allowing the capital ship to complete the fatal harvest.

The battle seemed to have entered a stalemate stage, which was obviously more beneficial to the human side, which had greater tonnage and numbers.

"Continue to attack! Focus your fire on the first marked target!"

Soshyan calmly watched the battlefield from the bridge, feeling annoyed that unnecessary losses had been caused due to his carelessness.

The enemy had two more small battleships join the battle, but they could not change the balance of the war.

At this moment, the Unbound Soul took full advantage of its powerful frontal firepower. The battleship-level light spears washed away the enemy's shields round after round, each time bringing it closer to the edge of collapse.

The Eldar also tried to use other methods to win, but their precious torpedo weapons had been used up previously, and at this time they lacked the equipment to threaten the heavily armored giant ship Unbound Soul.

They can only use their excellent mobility to avoid damage as much as possible.

Gradually, the goal of the Eldar warships changed from victory to delay.

Suddenly, a salvo from the Unbound Soul's main cannon hit the last battleship in the Eldar queue and disabled it.

Other warships followed immediately, and the intensive firepower instantly turned the warships that had lost their shields into countless shining debris - even if the alien warships were destroyed, they were still very different from humans.

Seeing the situation, the other Eldar warships immediately turned around and began to escape.

They spread out to better evade pursuit and rained the last few torpedoes behind them.

But those targets were intercepted immediately.

"Well done everyone! Get ready for the chase!"

Soshyan, who finally won, clapped his hands excitedly, and then planned to pursue the victory and beat these aliens again.

"Stop chasing."

A voice stopped him.

Savita, holding a halberd in his arms, walked out of the shadow of the command tower, and his eyes were fixed on the slowly rotating planet Nessen-6.

"Clean the tracks and get ready to rescue people."

"Save someone? Who?"

"Talos."

At this moment, nervous voices sounded again on the bridge.

"More targets appear!"

Soshyan hurriedly walked in front of the imaging device and found that the enemy ships that had originally escaped had returned and reorganized their formation. At the same time, there were two more battleships and three frigates among them.

Although it is unknown when these new enemies appeared, the numbers of both sides are now very close.

At this time, he felt that he might not be suitable to point fingers anymore. He was not an expert in naval warfare.

But Lothar is now in command aboard the Starfire.

"I come."

Sevatar stepped into the light.

"Issue an order to change the formation to impact formation, don't let me down, guys."

Later, Sevatar entered a series of instructions on the tactical display screen of the command throne. These instructions weaved a detailed tactical plan and was known to every captain.

All this only took five minutes.

The crew immediately got busy, and all confusion and confusion disappeared.

This contagious atmosphere made Soshyan himself smile, while Sevita continued to issue instructions calmly.

"Be careful not to exceed the pace of the flagship."

The frigates swarmed neatly to both sides of the formation on the vast front. One by one, they lit up their flashing void shields, and the silhouettes of the ships were blurred in the scorching flames.

The Eldar fleet also responded.

They maintained the integrity of the fleet isolation zone and blocked the route to the planet. All the alien warships that formed the blockade, just like the actions they had completed since their appearance, coordinated with the pace of their respective human opponents to form a formation in space. A huge mirror image.

Sevatar stared at the tactical screen carefully.

The fleets on both sides are equally matched, but it is uncertain whether there will be reinforcements behind them.

But he guessed that even if there were, there wouldn't be many. This was the hinterland of the empire, and it was impossible for the Eldar to really stake all their wealth. If they were caught by the main force of the imperial navy, their little wealth would not be able to withstand consumption.

"Start the first phase of impact."

The Unbound Soul obviously increased its speed, diverting energy from the void shield at the rear to the main light spear, and other cruisers were doing the same thing.

Soshyan felt his main heart begin to beat violently.

"That's our goal."

Sevatar pointed his finger at a cruiser on the opposite side and marked it on the forward sight with a battle rune.

Soon, the gap between the fleets on both sides tightened.

The formation of the Eldar fleet still maintains a blockade posture, weaving a dense network in space.

They moved very carefully, as if they had no other purpose than to delay the Astral Knights as much as possible.

Eldar warships are better at roaming, but now they have to engage in the most unfavorable head-on duel because of a certain target.

Sevatar admired the rigor of the opponent's formation. These aliens could do it very artistically even if they were willing to die.

But alas that didn't work.

Five minutes later, the forwards of both sides came within range of the light spears.

The first round of firing was started by the Eldar fleet.

"Fire."

Sevatar immediately ordered a counterattack.

The Unbound Soul's bow light spear hit the target, and a corona shot out from the void shield of the opponent's battleship. Then it jumped out of the array, turned around and fired back a burst of pulse light spears.

Sparks suddenly erupted from the back shield of the Unbound Soul, and at the same time more enemy warships were turning to prepare to shoot with light spears.

"Fire again and escape to 4-5-2."

Savita did not intend to give the opponent a clear shot.

Similar battles raged along the entire front, with human warships probing the front lines and the Eldar trying to counterattack.

This is a typical forward strategy, used to stick closely to the formation of the Astral Knights to ensure that no ships can protrude from the blockade.

A common breakthrough plan is to launch a full-scale assault on the encirclement network to push back the enemy battle line with concentrated ship-to-ship firepower. However, such an order cannot be given casually, because the result will often be a disaster for both sides, and only the extremely reckless man can do so. Would be happy to take such a risk.

Sevatar may be such a person, but Soshyan is clearly not, and the Eldar don't think they are either.

In this regard, Alien is absolutely right.

After several rounds of firefights, the tactical display screen refreshed again.

"Entering the second assault stage, the Unbound Soul takes the lead."
