Due to the remaining number of destroyers in the military fleet now surpassing the corporation’s fleet.
It’s not just because the military’s destroyers initially outnumbered the corporation’s.
It’s also because the military ships are equipped with professional maintenance masters.
The majority of ships that weren’t destroyed on the spot were merely paralyzed and retreated from the battlefield.
As long as there is no critical damage, they will quickly return to the battlefield.
This is one of the reasons for the large disparity in battle damage proportions between the two sides.
In short, even if Chen Ming can improve the ship’s performance potential.
By repairing it to look brand new, enabling the ship’s combat power to explode in a short time, even to continuously explode as long as resources are sufficient.
Relying on reserved combat materials, compensating for all disadvantages including the number of ships, armaments, and personnel, even to snatch back a slight advantage.
But it’s only possible to snatch back a little.
The overall gap between the corporation and the military is evident.
The military is unlike Sinda Corporation, which initially had fewer than thirty reliable ships available and needed support from the Space Station.
Nor is it like the fleet’s command system could only be temporarily cobbled together, struggling to finely control the battlefield situation.
Facing such enormous disparities in various aspects, it’s fair to say Chen Ming has done his utmost relying on spiritual energy.
Unless there are any unexpected changes afterward, defeat is inevitable.
The commander stationed on the Law Enforcement Level also felt the scales of victory completely tipping.
He has already sensed that the enemy has reached their limit.
Not Chen Ming’s limit, but the limit of others, other ships, and the fleet.
The Space Station’s Patrol Team ships and the Sinda Corporation’s escort ships completely don’t compare to the military’s ships and fail to demonstrate the capabilities Chen Ming displayed in combat felt by the commander.
But regardless of what factors influence this, whether it’s due to the company’s lack of preparation or the military’s prior readiness.
The commander has identified a breach in the fleet’s battle line, ready to seize the opportunity to crush the company’s fleet combat capabilities and conclude the battle.
He only needs to drop the final straw.
But, just at this moment.
A warship, clearly a military destroyer, suddenly arrived at the edge of the battlefield via the Superspace Channel.
Its spearhead-like overall shape already revealed its identity.
This is the Armor-Piercing Level Chen Ming had been waiting for.
When the Armor-Piercing Level finally arrived at the battlefield edge, Chen Ming couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief.
The reason for Armor Piercing’s delayed arrival was due to the excessive time spent en route.
Chen Ming had been specifically keeping an eye on Armor Piercing, trying to hide or bypass from the outside when passing through a star system.
But he couldn’t completely avoid Armor-Piercing Level being chased multiple times by the government’s Patrol Team when passing some star systems midway, only able to shake them off by entering the Superspace Channel cloud to evade sensor scans.
Entering the Superspace Channel cloud inevitably subjected it to Superspace lightning impacts, so Armor Piercing had to first visit the Dark Graveyard for repairs before coming over.
The overall time spent added up to more than double what it cost Chen Ming himself to return.
But at least, the Armor-Piercing Level successfully arrived at this critical moment, which is most important.
The commander also clearly noticed this destroyer suddenly appearing at the edge of the battlefield; it seemed familiar to him, but he wasn’t certain, so he didn’t issue an attack order.
Instead, he immediately asked his deputy: "Whose ship is that?"
The deputy replied immediately: "That’s the Star Realm Government’s ship, Armor-Piercing Level."
"The Star Realm Government previously had communicated with the local military to conduct a spacecraft experiment here, using Dusk as a reference."
"But according to that document, their fleet shouldn’t arrive for a few days, and now only one ship has come, possibly due to some special arrangement." Orıginal content can be found at 𝕟𝕠𝕧𝕖𝕝⚫𝕗𝕚𝕣𝕖⚫𝕟𝕖𝕥
The commander nodded slightly, refocusing his attention on commanding the fleet and said: "That’s no concern of ours."
"Send a message to that ship, tell them to either stop or bypass and head to the outpost, stay out of the way here."
Chen Ming, aboard the shuttle boat, was suddenly surprised to receive a message from the military from Armor Piercing Level.
But he quickly realized this was an opportunity, a chance for a surprise attack.
He immediately replied with "received" to the military fleet, then had the Armor-Piercing Level pretend everything was normal, avoiding the battle line while maintaining an ambiguous distance to bypass the center of the battlefield.
Although this behavior was generally correct, at this moment, the commander, with his keen sense of danger, still noticed the Armor-Piercing Level’s anomaly.
"What are those government people doing? Continue sending a message, tell them to keep away from the battlefield."
The commander assigned the deputy to relay the message, while his mind was already prepared for any unexpected situations.
The moment he received the second military message, Chen Ming knew time waited for no one.
Although Armor Piercing Level hadn’t reached the ideal position, it was already in a position Chen Ming could accept.
Chen Ming controlled the Armor-Piercing Level to suddenly accelerate while also turning its bow to aim at the military flagship, positioned at that specific Law Enforcement Level.
All special equipment aboard Armor Piercing Level activated simultaneously with Chen Ming’s control.
