The next few hours will last for more than ten hours.

The fleet led by Zhao Chen engaged in a chase with the remnants of the Holy Lance Legion.

The main reason is that Zhao Chen doesn't have many interstellar warships. In this operation, he only has less than thirty combat-type interstellar warships charging into battle.

And fewer than ten ships participated in this pursuit operation!

Under such circumstances, the remnants of the Holy Lance still have at least three hundred interstellar warships.

Even if Zhao Chen's interstellar warships have fierce firepower, it would still take time to annihilate them one by one.

Some may wonder, how can less than ten interstellar warships chase after more than three hundred interstellar warships?

Can't the Holy Lance Corps put up a fight?

When the Holy Lancer Legion was being chased for nearly ten hours, they also tried to put up a fight.

But the result of their resistance was that the Dragon Fleet, led by the T4 Blue-Eyes White Dragon-class heavy interstellar armored battleship, slapped them on the head and rubbed them in the face.

With no chance to fight back, they lost fifty interstellar warships.

As a result, the remaining starships of the Holy Lance Corps completely abandoned all other ideas and had only one belief: to escape!

"Report: The remaining fleet of the Holy Lancer Legion that has fled has less than fifty ships left!"

One of them was a T4 Retribution Angel-class heavy interstellar battleship, and five were T4 Divine Messenger-class medium interstellar destroyers. "My subordinate reported from the side."

Xue Xiaoxiao muttered unhappily, "These bastards, all they know is how to run away."

Especially that T4 Retribution Angel-class heavy interstellar battleship, it's the most cunning!

Not only did it run the fastest, but every time we had a chance to attack, it also ordered its friendly ships to provide cover with their hulls!

Shameless!

"Don't worry, not a single one of these Holy Lance Legion's interstellar warships will escape!" Zhao Chen said confidently.

At this moment, Saint Cana spoke up to remind you: "Don't blame me for not reminding you, if you continue sailing forward for another hour at this course, you will enter the border of the Holy Radiant Empire."

Moreover, I think the Holy Lancer Legion will definitely request aid from the Holy Radiant Empire, and reinforcements are probably already on their way.

Zhao Chen said calmly, "As I said before, not a single one of the Holy Lance Legion's interstellar warships will be able to leave this place."

"Don't even think about getting one!"

Zhao Chen emphasized the word "a ship".

This battle is not just for the reasons that are on the surface.

Zhao Chen is still establishing his authority over the Holy Glory Empire!

Inform the higher-ups of the Holy Radiant Empire that they are not unaware of your interference in the affairs of the Starry Empire.

Today I can destroy a Holy Lance Legion, tomorrow I can destroy two, four! Even all the Holy Light Legions!

You'd better weigh the consequences carefully!

This was Zhao Chen's subtext: to establish his authority by causing the entire Holy Lance Corps fleet to perish!

Saint Cana glanced at Zhao Chen with her deep gaze. She saw through Zhao Chen's intentions. She didn't say anything. If she were in Zhao Chen's position, she would have done the same.

They're just serving their own masters.

"Pass on my order: increase speed!"

"We must annihilate the remaining Holy Lance Legion within one hour!" Zhao Chen ordered.

"yes!"

The order was issued.

The chase continued, with several Holy Lance Legion interstellar warships falling behind and being destroyed every so often.

Saint Cana watched all of this indifferently, seeing the interstellar warships marked with the Holy Lancer Legion disappear one by one on the radar star map.

From fifty... to forty... then to thirty... then to twenty...

An hour passed in the blink of an eye.

The Holy Lance Corps now has only a mere ten interstellar warships left!

"I'll give you a piece of my mind! That damn flagship is using its own friendly ships to defend itself again."

"If it weren't for that friendly ship that deflected the bow gun attack, I would have blasted it to ashes with that shot!" Xue Xiaoxiao said indignantly.

Just now, Xue Xiaoxiao finally managed to seize an opportunity and lock onto that T4 Retribution Angel-class heavy interstellar battleship.

Just as the bow guns were continuously firing at the enemy Star Shield, and it seemed that the Star Shield was about to be overwhelmed.

A T3 Light Shield-class heavy interstellar frigate stepped forward, using its body as a shield to block the attack.

This allowed the T4 Retribution Angel to survive.

"It's alright, its Star Shield energy has been completely exhausted."

"One more shot and it'll be finished," Zhao Chen said calmly.

In his eyes, the remaining interstellar warships of the Holy Lance Corps were already dead ships.

"Report! Our starship radar has detected a large number of interstellar warships at the furthest point ahead!"

Suddenly, a crew member hurriedly reported.

Zhao Chen calmly watched the cursors appearing on the edge of the starship's radar, their numbers increasing.

From a few thousand ships, it quickly spread to tens of thousands!

At the same time, Zhao Chen received a public frequency message.

"Commander, this is a warning message from the fleets that have appeared on the other side," a crew member reported to Zhao Chen.

Zhao Chen clicked to open.

"We are the Holy and Glorious Empire, Southern Holy Fleet Group!"

Please cease your fleet's attacks on our Holy Lancer Legion, or you will face the consequences!

This audio message keeps playing on repeat.

Xue Xiaoxiao looked at Zhao Chen, as if asking whether they should continue fighting and to give him a heads-up.

"Ignore them, keep fighting," Zhao Chen said calmly, turning off the declaration.

Xue Xiaoxiao's eyes lit up, and she continued to pursue the remaining Holy Lance Legion starships, especially the T4 Retribution Angel-class heavy starship.

This was prey she had finally managed to capture; how could she let it go so easily?

“I’m reminding you, you’re provoking the Southern Holy Fleet!” Saint Cana warned from the side, her tone icy.

Zhao Chen leaned back in the captain's chair, his hands behind his head, looking nonchalant: "I know."

In addition to the ten Holy Light Legions, your Holy Radiant Empire also has five major Holy Fleet Groups.

These are the five territories of your territory, each overseen by one of the five Imperial Consuls, who also command five sacred fleet groups.

Each Holy Fleet Group consists of one hundred standard fleet legions, totaling three hundred thousand interstellar warships.

Zhao Chen dared to take action against the Holy Lance Legion, which naturally meant he had done his homework on the master behind it.

So what?

"Even if the Heavenly King himself comes, I'm going to annihilate the Holy Lance Legion!" Zhao Chen said jokingly.

“Madman,” Saint Cana muttered.

The situation at this moment.

A vast array of Holy Radiance Empire interstellar warships appeared on the opposite side.

The number has reached tens of thousands!

And it's still rising.

The remaining few interstellar warships of the Holy Lance Corps also discovered these, as if they had seen saviors in the darkness.

At first, they thought they were safe.

With their own holy fleet arriving, those guys behind them probably won't chase anymore, right?

But unexpectedly, the group of guys behind them chased even more enthusiastically.

In front of the Holy Fleet, they even managed to destroy several Holy Lancer Legion interstellar warships in succession.

This caused the remaining Holy Lance Legion starships to take off and run forward!

As long as they can get within the firing range of the Southern Sacred Fleet, they will be safe.

But this seemingly short distance may be an insurmountable barrier for the Holy Lancer Legion.

because......

A series of 'halos' appeared in front of them, like halos reflecting on the surface of a lake.

Then, one after another, interstellar warships emerged!

They appeared conspicuously in the middle of the Holy Lance Corps and the Southern Holy Fleet.

Saint Cana saw this scene, especially the dragon emblems on those interstellar warships!

His gaze sharpened.

She stared in shock at Zhao Chen, who had a faint smile on his face. This man... had he really planned this far?
