Chapter 465: The Retreating Imperial Combined Fleet
In the vast and mysterious warp, a huge fleet is traveling at an astonishing speed, rushing towards the capital of the Provans sector.
This fleet used to be majestic and awe-inspiring, but now it looks a little tired and destitute.
Braun continued to use the power of the astropaths to gather the Imperial Joint Fleets that had retreated from various galaxies one by one.
After several days of waiting, the remaining fleets scattered everywhere finally arrived at the location of the main fleet where Braun was and joined up.
When the Imperial Combined Fleet attacked the galaxies under the command of the Lord of Stars, not every attacking fleet was completely wiped out. Many fleets took the initiative to withdraw from the galaxies they were responsible for attacking after the situation became hopeless.
Entering the subspace to avoid the encirclement from the Star Navy Fleet, but due to the communication of the astropath, it is not real-time communication.
They could only send a message of mission failure to the main fleet where Braon was, reminding Braon to make arrangements early. After sending the message, the remaining fleets also took the initiative to rush towards the location of the main fleet where Braon was.
As more and more warships gathered together, the size of the Imperial Combined Fleet gradually expanded, and eventually returned to a size of nearly 600 warships.
When these remaining fleets reunited, the scene was completely different from when they had set out with great enthusiasm to fight against the Star Army.
At that time, nearly two thousand warships surged out like a steel torrent, covering the sky and the sun, which was terrifying.
But now, the fleet before us has shrunk significantly in size, and its former glory is long gone, leaving only gloom and depression.
For a high-ranking noble like Braum who came from the Solar Star Region, this defeat was undoubtedly a heavy blow.
As a high-ranking noble, he has always been passionate and indignant about actions to combat heresy.
But even so, he knew that one failure was not enough to determine victory. He had received a high-level aristocratic education, which gave him an indomitable will and a long-term vision.
Although the battle suffered heavy losses, with countless imperial warships and brave soldiers buried in the starry sea, as long as he can return to the Solar Segmentum safely, with the support of his family's powerful influence and resources, he is confident that he can make a comeback and restore the former glory of the Imperial Combined Fleet.
Although the campaign against the heretics failed, Braum at least obtained detailed intelligence about this group of heretics, which supported his plan.
At least it will allow the High Lords of Terra to have a more thorough understanding of that group of heretics, so that they will be more fully prepared when they attack them next time, allowing the Empire to wipe out that group of heretics with lightning speed.
Just as Braum stared intently at the holographic projection projected by the servo skull in front of him, which displayed detailed information about the group of heretics.
A burst of hurried footsteps broke the quiet atmosphere on the bridge. A communications officer rushed into the bridge in a panic, as if he was being chased by a demon.
His face was filled with anxiety, and he didn't even bother to calm his disordered breathing. He opened his voice and reported to Bron loudly:
"General Bron! Something terrible has happened! The Astropath just received urgent calls for help from the Provans Sector capital and the Dokla Forge World!
These two worlds are currently under fierce attack from heretical forces. The situation is extremely critical! We urgently need to send a fleet to support them immediately! "
Upon hearing this, Braum's face instantly turned as pale as paper, as if he was struck by a bolt from the blue.
He stared at the signalman with eyes wide open, his face filled with disbelief, and asked in a voice trembling with extreme shock:
"What? How could such a thing happen? Where did these heretics come from? How dare they attack the capital of Provans and the Dokla Forge World?"
Facing Bron's anxious questioning, the signalman didn't dare to be negligent and hurriedly and respectfully described the relevant information he had obtained in detail:
"According to the detailed description obtained by the astropath through receiving psychic information, the fleet currently attacking the capital of Provans and the Dokla Forge World is none other than the vicious heretics in the Star Sea World!"
"How is this possible?" After hearing the signalman's description, Braun looked at the signalman with an expression as if to say, "Are you kidding me?"
Having just ended a fierce war with a group of heretics, the Imperial Combined Fleet is sailing towards the capital of Provance. It will still take more than a day to travel through the warp to the capital of Provance.
But that group of heretics had already appeared in the capital of Provance and the forging world of Dokla without anyone noticing, and launched a fierce attack on the capital of Provance and the forging world of Dokla!
As the commander, Braun knew very well that the warships driven by the heretics did have extremely fast speeds and could quickly carry out flexible support operations between nearby galaxies.
However, even so, everything that happened before his eyes was far beyond his imagination.
Because according to common sense, the speed of navigation in the real universe should be far lower than the efficiency brought by navigation in subspace.
But the ironclad fact before us now is: the speed at which this group of heretics travel in the real universe is actually faster than traveling through the subspace!
This incredible situation made Bron feel extremely shocked and confused, and deep down he could not accept such a situation at all.
He couldn't help but start to wonder, if this group of heretics could really achieve such an astonishingly fast navigation speed in the real universe, then what would the subspace navigation technology that has always been valued by the Empire be worth?
Could it be that the warp navigation technology that the Empire has painstakingly researched for many years and is so proud of is nothing more than a pile of useless waste in the end?
The signalman immediately trembled in fear at Bron's suspicious look, swallowed his saliva, and stammered:
"General Bron, this... all this information was given to me by the Astropaths. I dare not hide anything."
Looking at the terrified expression on the signalman's face, Braun knew he wasn't lying. He waved at him, "Go ahead! If the astropaths have any more news, let me know immediately."
When the signalman saw that Bron didn't lose his temper, he breathed a sigh of relief and responded respectfully, "Yes."
Bron watched the signalman walk away quickly and fell into silence for a moment. Bronton suddenly felt that things were becoming difficult because the speed of that group of heretics was too fast.
