Chapter 365: The End
Neither the defensive warships nor the ships covering the retreat were in any condition to withstand another wave of the Swarm’s assault. They were battered beyond repair. Yet, Prince Diallo declared victory because the warships that had retreated earlier had now returned.
The travel time of electromagnetic projectiles and Mature Bodies was a crucial factor. Just as they were about to rejoin the battlefield, a barrage of crimson beams appeared from afar, shredding the 300 meter class Mature Bodies into fragments.
A massive fleet of Daqi warships abruptly braked near the battlefield. Their activated repulsion fields stopped the electromagnetic projectiles. Any stragglers that bypassed these barriers were obliterated by the laser defense arrays.
When over a thousand Daqi warships arrived, it marked the temporary end of this battle.
