Chapter 60: The Demise of the Eagle Fleet, the Lizardmen's Unmanned Warships

After the Phoenix One chased away from the lizardman's interstellar warship, the US had a new idea.

"How are our shipboard detection systems doing? How many of the fleeing lizardmen have we located?"

"Sir, we have locked onto over a thousand targets. Fighter boats and helicopters have been deployed and are rapidly approaching the targets."

"Very good, are the anesthetics all prepared?"

"Everything is ready. This time, we guarantee to capture them alive."

"Well done. By the way, is the 7th Fleet arriving soon?"

"Yes, sir."

"Very good. Tell the University of Tokyo that we have taken over this area and to keep them away from our fleet."

"Sir, it's strange. These fleets from the East University aren't approaching the core area. Instead, they're patrolling the outer area. Judging from their target, it seems they're hunting down those fleeing lizardmen."

"Oh, these devils from Tokyo University are indiscriminately hunting and killing aliens. This is immoral. In order to help the aliens rebuild their home as soon as possible, I think we should send a fleet to the area above their home to assist them."

"Sir, you are truly brilliant."

Following a series of grand-sounding telegrams in plain text, the soldiers on the Dongda side were also very angry.

However, the superiors' orders were clear: they were not allowed to approach the core area and were to await further instructions.

So the soldiers on the warship could only endure it.

Meanwhile, in near-Earth orbit, the lizardmen's warships had already rushed up, and the Xuan Nu fighter squadron behind them was also rapidly pursuing them, trying to shoot them down.

"Master, the shield generator has completely stopped working. That previous shot completely destroyed the circuitry, and only specialized equipment can repair it."

"Damn it, keep accelerating, we have to get away from this planet."

"Master, it's no use, the pulse engine can't hold on much longer."

"Hang in there. If the pulse engine breaks down, it breaks down. We have to escape this planet's gravity."

"Yes, Master."

Soon, under the control of these lizardmen, the escort ship broke through the synchronous orbit and gradually moved away from Blue Star.

"Master, we are moving away from Earth, and the pursuers behind us are not catching up."

"It seems their warships can't leave the planet too far yet. How's the pulse engine?"

"Master, it has reached the critical point. The inside has melted and it is completely unusable."

"Then just throw it away."

"Yes, Master."

As the pulse engine detached from the ship's hull, the warship continued to accelerate, flying towards Mars.

Meanwhile, Fang Heng, watching these people's actions from the moon, no longer waited.

"Littering is punishable. Order the biological escort fleet to attack and capture this frigate."

"Yes, Commander."

Upon receiving the combat order, three escort ships were dispatched and arrived directly in the direction the lizardman escort ship was heading.

Before long, they stopped him directly.

"Master, a biological warship has appeared before us."

"What? Isn't this a mechanical civilization? Why are there biological warships here?"

At this moment, he was completely bewildered.

After seeing the biological warships blocking his way, his spirits sank to rock bottom.

Such a design is clearly not that of their own civilization's biological warships. Moreover, these biological warships are much larger than those of their own civilization. If we really have to compare them, their own civilization's biological warships are at most biological airships, not even reaching the level of warships.

Even so, he was not prepared to sit idly by and wait for his doom, and directly issued the final order.

"Get all the unmanned warships airborne immediately; we need reinforcements."

"Perhaps we should have gone all out from the beginning and hadn't been hoping for a lucky break."

At this moment, he also regretted that he should have sent out all the warships. That way, even if he couldn't win, at least he would have had a chance to escape with one of them.

"Change direction, let's go back first and meet up with the reinforcements."

"Yes, Master."

The warship was traveling at high speed at this time, so it was impossible to stop and turn around directly. Instead, it controlled the engine to make a big turn in space and then flew towards Blue Star.

The phoenix following behind naturally also observed this situation. Before Lin Jianguo could even be happy, new news came from the main camp.

Just now, the US fleet was annihilated.

Let's go back half an hour.

After the lizardmen's warships left, the US, which hadn't gone far, immediately dispatched submarines to investigate the underwater base.

To ensure safety, all warships arrived near the underwater base.

"Sir, our reconnaissance confirms that there are still many lizardmen in the base, and there are also many defensive structures around the base."

"Then destroy them, locate all the defenses, and drop depth charges."

"Furthermore, I ordered the submarines to launch torpedoes and destroy the defensive structures."

"Yes, sir."

Upon receiving the order, the submarine approached the underwater base and immediately locked onto the base's defenses, launching two torpedoes directly.

However, these attacks were destined to fail.

Although the master behind the lizardmen has left, there are still quite a few lizardmen at the underwater base. Especially after Dongda left and began to hunt down the fleeing lizardmen, some of the escaped lizardmen were driven back and returned to the underwater base.

Having just been incorporated into the base's officers, they saw the American forces rushing over.

Now, both old and new grudges were settled at once. He immediately ordered the newly reorganized troops to attack, intending to destroy the American fleet.

The US, of course, also discovered the situation on the seabed and immediately chose to retaliate.

You can say the US is bad, but you can't say the US is good.

After determining the method of the lizardmen's underwater attack, the US quickly formulated a targeted attack strategy, and the lizardmen were almost wiped out before they even got close to the fleet.

As time went on, the number of lizardmen continued to decrease.

Perhaps due to insufficient energy, the defenses that were attacking the depth charges also went silent as the first depth charge landed next to the defenses.

"boom!"

The massive explosion destroyed the defense facilities.

The same thing happened on the submarine side. It ran out of energy, and the torpedoes, instead of destroying it, directly hit and destroyed the defensive devices.

As more and more defensive facilities were destroyed, the Eastern Fleet, which was closely monitoring the US fleet, became somewhat anxious. Since these lizardmen could build interstellar warships, their underwater base must have some production resources. If the US obtained these resources, then their own Luan Birds would have no advantage.

However, just as the US was preparing to press its advantage, the Lizardmen's underwater base underwent another change.

Beside the main underwater base, the seabed was opened up, revealing the interstellar warships inside.

Because of the obstruction of the seawater, the US side did not discover the situation here and continued to destroy the defense facilities around the underwater base.

This also gave these warships the opportunity to take off.

Once all the outer defenses were cleared, the US immediately ordered its submarines to reach the underwater base first to protect the spoils of war.

As soon as they arrived near the base, they saw four more interstellar warships appear.

These four interstellar warships are much smaller than those that appeared before, but this does not affect their combat effectiveness.

"call out!"

Before the submarine could react, a warship fired a laser, instantly destroying the approaching American submarine.

The underwater explosion also attracted the attention of the United States.

"What's going on? Why are there explosions coming from underwater?"

"Sir, we've lost contact with the underwater area."

"Report: Sonar has detected multiple large targets. Data comparison suggests they may be enemy interstellar warships."

"What? Again? Order the fleet to evacuate immediately, quick, quick, quick!"

At that moment, the fleet commander felt as if he had fallen into an ice cave, and cold sweat instantly broke out on his forehead.

Unfortunately, their reaction was too slow. After destroying the submarine, the four warships quickly rose and rushed out of the sea.

After entering the air from the sea, without hesitation, the laser cannons on the warships opened fire. In just a few minutes, they destroyed all the nearby American naval warships, leaving only a few large black fish still in the water.

"Oh, Fuck, report to the Black Palace immediately. All our surface ships have been destroyed."

"Sir, I suggest we get away from here first. I don't know if these lizardmen have a third batch of warships."

"Fuck, retreat first, get out of here, and preserve our strength."

Upon receiving the order, the large black fish immediately turned and ran away. The lizardmen behind it chased for a distance before giving up.

On the other side, Dongda, watching from a distance, was also startled and immediately ordered all warships to retreat.

These laser weapons are completely beyond the defense capabilities of the East China Sea's surface ships. The United States is rich and powerful; even if these fleets are destroyed, it will only be a minor setback. There are other fleets available, so there is no need to worry about any potential power gaps.

But the University of Tokyo won't do that. They've accumulated these assets over a long period of time, so there's no need to send them away.

Seeing these warships quickly fly into space after destroying the US fleet, the Dongda fleet breathed a sigh of relief.

Fang Heng had been keeping a close eye on the battlefield, and he was startled when he saw the four frigates.

"Ethan, analyze these four warships immediately. What's going on? There are actually more warships."

"Commander, data shows no signs of life on the warship; it is preliminarily determined to be an unmanned warship."

"Hmm? Unmanned warships, can we control them?"

"A data interface is needed."

"Alright, how's the preparation for the Punishment Ship coming along?"

"All preparations are complete, and we are ready to launch at any time."

"Alright, order the Punisher to warp into the battlefield and take down these four warships."

"Yes, Commander."

"In addition, let the remaining two frigates form a temporary formation with the Punisher and enter Earth's orbit first, until the Punisher jumps."

"Yes, Commander."
