To charge or to continue hiding was a very good question.
Just as his adjutant had said, almost four minutes had passed since the human fleet began to change their formation.
If he were to lead the fleet to attack at this time, then even if the humans immediately recalled the fleets, there would not be enough time to plug the gap.
At most, during the process of the attack, they would be attacked from all directions for a certain period of time, and the losses would be great.
However, these losses were nothing compared to the changes in the situation that could be brought about after the fleet broke out.
After weighing the pros and cons, Wilvis decided to take a gamble.
After all, the benefits after success were too great. Even if they knew that it was a trap, most of them would still want to give it a try.
What if they succeeded?
Anyway, even if they failed, the worst that could happen was that they would lose their lives and tens of millions of warships of the Seras Empire.
To the entire Empire, this loss was nothing at all.
As for his life?
It was not important at all!
Wilvis still had this awareness.
"Adjust the fleet formation. The warships at the front will move to the sides to increase the defense on both sides. Begin the attack in thirty seconds. Position straight ahead."
"Yes, General Wilvis!"
Under Wilvis's command, the fleet of Seras, which had been holed up at the mouth of the ocean, immediately changed its shape. The warships at the front of the formation moved quickly to the sides. Due to the movement of the warships at the front, Wilvis's ship and the guard warships around it were completely exposed.
However, Wilvis was not worried about his warships being exposed because there were no Federation warships in front.
"General, the fleet formation has been adjusted."
"Maintain the formation. Begin the attack!"
"Yes, General Wilvis!"
No matter how one looked at it, the formation formed by Seras's fleet did not look like an assault formation. Instead, it looked like a defensive formation. It was the kind of formation that deployed tight defenses in all directions except for the front and rear, presenting a cylindrical shape.
As for Wilvis's ship, it stayed in the center of the cylindrical shape with the guard fleet.
Staring at the fierce attacks in all directions, Seras's fleet continued to move forward, leaving behind countless wreckages of warships along the way.
This was within his expectations. What Wilvis was concerned about was the movements of the fleets in the human defense zones.
A minute had passed, but there was still no movement to plug the gap. Moreover, not only did they not try their best to plug the gap, but they also expanded the gap in this undefended area. Even the Fearless Fleet's defensive line was like Sareth's fleet, forming a hollow cylinder …
At this moment, the scene in the void was very strange. There were two cylinders, one big and one small, made up of a large number of battleships. The small cylinder was moving at high speed inside the large cylinder, trying to rush out from the cross-section of the large cylinder that was not guarded by any battleships.
"Give me one more minute. Just one more minute, and I'll be able to completely break out of this damn crossfire net."
In the bridge, Wilvis stared at the tactical board and shouted in his heart.
With just one more hit, the entire battle situation would be completely reversed, and the opportunity to tear apart and annihilate the human defensive fleet would be right before their eyes.
50 seconds …
30 seconds …
10 seconds …
Soon, soon. Looking at the fleet he commanded, which was about to rush to the front of the human encirclement, and would be able to completely break out in a few more seconds, Wilvis's lips curled up, revealing his first smile since the start of the battle.
But …
This smile was destined to not last long!
Just as he was about to break out of the encirclement in less than ten seconds, in front of Wilvis's eyes, the void that was originally empty and pitch-black was now …
Suddenly, the scene changed drastically.
Hundreds of millions of blue vortex-shaped hyperspace windows opened without warning about 0.3 AU in front of Sareth's fleet. As the fleet commander of a Level 9 technological civilization, Wilvis naturally knew what this scene meant.
It meant that a large number of fleets were arriving here through hyperspace. It was as if when he was about to reach the door, the other party suddenly closed the door again. It was extremely frustrating.
"General Wilvis, a large number of fleets appeared in front of my ship, three hundred million in number!"
"Three hundred million ships? There seems to be a chance! "
Although hundreds of millions of battleships suddenly appeared in front of him, completely sealing his future, there was still a chance.
However, Wilvis felt that there was still a glimmer of hope. After all, even if he had lost a lot along the way, he still had more than 40 million battleships.
Perhaps, it was impossible for these 40 million battleships to destroy the 300 million battleships in front of them. However, if it was purely to break out, it was not a big problem. If the command was appropriate, they might be able to complete this breakthrough mission with only twenty to thirty percent of the cost.
"Order the fleet, don't linger, charge out at full speed!"
"Yes, General Wilvis!"
At the same time, 0.3 AU away, in the bridge of the flagship as the command of this combat mission.
"Commander, the target's position has been locked, we can start attacking at any time!"
"Start immediately, while the enemy's formation is in a defenseless state, take down their infrastructure directly!"
"Understood, the auxiliary calculation device of the entire fleet has been activated, estimated to be completed in three seconds … 3 … 2 … 1 … 0, the Netherworld Fleet's combat preparations are complete."
"Attack according to the planned attack plan!"
"Understood!"
Based on the current configuration of the Netherworld Fleet, the army-level flagship would be equipped with a B-class dark energy manipulator to form the bridge combat team, while the ordinary battleships would be equipped with a C-class dark energy manipulator to form the bridge combat team.
However, because it was equipped with the second-generation nether-level battleship, even if it was a C-grade dark energy operator, with the support of the new generation of auxiliary calculation devices, the dark energy attack it could release was very powerful. At least, it was not weaker than the attack of the Fearless fleet.
Of course, although dark energy manipulators had many means of attack, for the sake of the overall combat needs of the fleet, it was impossible for everyone to use different means of attack in an overall battle.
Therefore, in the Netherworld Fleet, unless the ordinary battleships received special orders, they would all use an attack method called the dark energy particle cannon. This attack was released in the form of a light beam by reshaping dark energy. Its advantages were that it was powerful, had a long range, and had low requirements for release. Even a C-class dark energy manipulator could easily release it with the help of the auxiliary calculation device of the battleship.
In the void, in front of almost every Netherworld Fleet, there was a silver-white dark energy array quickly constructed. The difference was that in front of Wang Hai's flagship, there was …
A total of seven dark energy arrays were constructed!
