"Dominic Adult, it seems our worries have come true." Lin En's voice came calmly from the communication device.

"Governor Kerry, you're right, we're surrounded by Green Skins, but it shouldn't cause any trouble."

Dominic remained calm; although the enemy outnumbered them two to one, the quality was not on the same level at all.

The enemy not only lacked heavy Battlecruisers, they didn't even have more than a dozen Cruisers.

Just as Dominic prepared to command the fleet to break out, Lin En's side received another emergency communication.

It was sent by the Commander left behind at Kal II.

"Governor Sir, this is bad!"

"Large quantities of Green Skin Warships discovered on the flank of Kal II Space Station!"

"Approximately forty vessels! Half are Evil Sun Clan, half are Blood Axe Clan! They are rapidly approaching Kal II!"

Lin En looked at the message in the communication device, the corner of his mouth curling up slightly, revealing a knowing smile.

"Indeed."

The fleet encircling Dolido's orbit was merely to delay them.

The real killing move was the sneak attack on Kal II.

Cut off their rear, trap them to death.

This kind of feint-east-strike-west, besiege-the-point-to-relieve-the-ally tactic absolutely could not have been thought up by those simple-minded Green Skins.

Lin En's mind involuntarily conjured the image of that bright-eyed fart spirit.

Yaduoduo.

Besides him, there would be no one else.

"Looks like following me back then wasn't for nothing." Lin En chuckled lightly, his tone carrying a trace of appreciation.

"To come up with this kind of tactic, not bad."

"However, this still isn't enough." Lin En's gaze turned sharp.

"Since you taught me a lesson, I'll return the favor."

"Let you know what real tactics are."

Lin En first sent a message back to Dominic, telling him to break out with peace of mind and not worry about the rear.

Afterwards, he opened another encrypted communication channel.

The communication connected quickly, a young voice coming from the communication device:

"Governor Sir, what are your orders?"

"Gus, some guests went to Kal II without saying hello." Lin En said indifferently.

"Take our people and go deal with it."

"Understood!" Gus's voice was firm.

"Good." Lin En nodded. "Remember, it must be a quick battle and quick decision!"

"Yes, Governor Sir!"

Communication ended.

Lin En walked to the porthole, looking at the distant Dolido Planet where warfire raged, his gaze deep.

Green Skins, humans, and the hidden Yi Su and Nurgle.

All forces have already been drawn into this war.

The chess game of the Calixis Star System has already fully unfolded.

And he will be the final chess player!

Simultaneously, on the supply line behind Kal II Space Station.

Dozens of Imperial Warships bearing the Brevis crossed gray flag were assembling at full speed.

That's right, although Lin En himself rode the Peak Black Radiance following the Tithe Fleet to Dolido.

But the main force of the Brevis Expedition Fleet was left by him at Kal II.

He guessed the Green Skins most likely wouldn't engage in a frontal battle.

On the bridge of the Moon-class Cruiser, Gus wore black Power Armor, holding a precision Chain Sword in hand, gaze resolute.

"All Warships attention!" Gus ordered loudly.

"Target, the Green Skin fleet on Kal II's flank, full speed ahead!"

"It's time to let those Imperial Navy guys witness our Brevis's might!"

With Gus's command, dozens of Warships simultaneously started engines, charging toward the Evil Sun, Blood Axe mixed fleet.

The moment the gray silhouettes of the Brevis Expedition Fleet appeared from behind Kal II, Blood Axe Clan Chieftain Red Crow's hand gripping the Machete fiercely tightened.

He stood on the "Blood Tooth's" bridge, looking at those light dots arranged in a standard wedge formation on the Holographic Star Map, a bitter low growl issuing from his throat.

Those Warships were entirely sprayed with matte gray paint, the crossed battle flags at the bow clearly discernible in Space.

Every Moon-class Cruiser's armor thickness far exceeded the Green Skin Warships pieced together from scrap, Cannon Position layout rigorous, the energy shield's halo glowing with gloss in the darkness.

And his forty-odd Warships, half were Evil Sun Clan's high-speed Assault Ships, thin as iron Canned Food.

The other half were Blood Axe's sneak attack ships, firepower pitifully weak, fundamentally unsuited for frontal hard clashes.

"Big Boss, they've spotted us, and they're accelerating to close in!" The lookout's voice carried trembling.

Hong Ya closed his eyes, taking a deep breath.

He could smell the machine oil permeating the air and the Green Skins' distinctive stench of sweat, could hear his subordinate Grots' disordered breathing.

He knew, Yaduoduo's plan drew its final period here.

Those cunning Shrimp had long anticipated the ambush, laid the pocket waiting for them to drill in.

"The great trend is gone." Hong Ya opened his eyes, his voice terrifyingly calm.

He took off the necklace strung from enemy skulls hanging on his neck, casually tossed it to the Bodyguard beside him.

"Tell all Grots, swing the cannon mouths, charge with me!"

"Even if we die, we'll drag a few Shrimp down as burial companions!"

"Waaaaagh!"

The Bodyguard roared, relaying the Command.

The originally panicked Green Skin Fleet went silent in an instant, then erupted in acceleration.

Forty Green Skin Warships simultaneously swung direction, engines spewing thick black smoke, like a swarm of moths plunging into fire, charging fiercely at the Brevis Expedition Fleet.

……

Simultaneously, the breakout battle in Duli's skies was being fought in an orderly manner.

Dominic stood at the Bridge Center of the James Tong, on the Holographic Star Map, the green Imperial Fleet like a solid iron ball, slowly rolling forward.

The surrounding Red Light Points surged like a tide constantly crashing in, yet were smashed to pieces by the iron ball time and again.

"Left Side Number Three Escort Ship, watch for evasion, focus fire striking enemy Cruiser's Engine!"

"Battlecruiser Squadron, salvo preparation, Target Front enemy fleet group!"

"Maintain formation, do not pursue isolated enemy ships, our objective is breakout, not total annihilation!"

Dominic's voice was calm and clear, one Command after another accurately issued.

He did not rush for success, nor did he panic because of being surrounded.

He commanded the fleet to advance steadily, step by step pushing forward, as if beneath his feet was not the crisis-ridden Green Skin Planet orbit, but the Imperial homeworld's parade ground.

Contrast the Green Skins' attacks, which remained chaotic and disordered.

The most durable Hoff Fleet was nearly wiped out in the last Karl II Campaign; the remaining Evil Moon and Death Skull Fleets, their firepower simply cannot be mentioned in the same breath as the Tithe Fleet.

Their knockoff Macro Cannons striking Imperial Warships' Void Shields could only stir up burst after burst of weak Ripples.

And every Imperial Fleet salvo could heavily damage or even sink a Green Skin Warship.

In Space, huge fireballs constantly bloomed — the radiance of Green Skin Warship explosions.

Shattered hull wreckage and Green Skin Corpses drifted everywhere, soon swallowed by the cold Space.

"Report Adult! Enemy Left Wing fleet shows signs of collapse!"

"Report! We have already advanced thirty Wan Li!"

"Report! Enemy losses have exceeded seventy ships!"

Good news came continuously, the officers on the Bridge all wearing relaxed smiles.

Dominic, however, still kept a calm expression.

He watched the constantly decreasing Red Light Points on the Holographic Star Map, saying faintly:

"Don't be careless, Green Skins may be unable to withstand a single blow, but their numbers are still many."

"Maintain formation, advance steadily."

This breakout battle lasted a full twelve hours.

When the star rose from Dolido's horizon, the Green Skin Fleet finally could hold on no longer.
