Chapter 1587: The Last Charge
Translator: _Min_ Editor: Rainystars
The bloody fight began in silence.
The series of Stringray A-1s formed into neat circular formations in space, like lancers that charged among the galaxies, they unleashed an assault on the splitters released by the worm ship.
The faint blue electric light flickered and intertwined into a death dance in the pitch-black universe.
The scorching laser tore off the flesh-red armor, the Klein particle beam and the cluster of acid fired back and forth in space, the Earth Fleet’s carrier-based starcrafts clashed into the splitters. They galloped, fought, and chased in the vast universe.
Every second, there was an electric spark that symbolized death or a splitter that no longer moved because its flesh-red horny armor was torn by the laser.
Everyone’s eyes turned crimson; their fingers were locked on the trigger.
The hot barrel was like a soldering iron in a blast furnace, the fangs and tentacles within arm’s length, the bloody and deadly breath was so conspicuous in the cold empty space.
A Stingray A-1 collided with a splitter. When the splitter pierced the cockpit with its fangs, the pilot shouted long live his motherland and smashed fist under the button under his seat.
The flame of the explosion engulfed the starcraft and the injured splitter together in a scarlet light cluster.
“GO TO HELL!”
Zhang Wei roared at the top of his lungs while he firmly grasped onto the control between his knees; every inch of his eyes was bloodshot.
With the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of the flickering [Overload] in the lower right corner of the helmet, but at this moment, he did not have any attention left to focus on that.
The crosshair was aimed at the split-off worm that chased his comrade. He lifted the safety on the side of the grip with his thumb and pressed down on it with all his force.
Two flames appeared from below the starcraft, and the two short-range missiles blasted behind the split-off worm and blasted it to pieces.
Zhang Wei was about to turn the starcraft, but at this moment, a line of red characters suddenly jumped out in the center of the holographic screen of the tactical helmet.
[Retreat——]
…
Inside the Enterprise bridge.
The observer in front of the radar control panel stared intently at the holographic screen that reported loudly.
“Frontier fleet has entered the target airspace!”
“Import the coordinate parameters and bombard the target area!” Luo Hong immediately ordered.
“ROGER!”
They reloaded Enterprise on Luo Hong’s order and adjusted the direction of the bow.
The row of mass accelerators on the side locked the movement path of the group of starcrafts. At the moment when the last starcraft crossed the red line, a new round of bombardment began.
600,000 kilometers away, the splitters from the worm ship and Earth Fleet’s starcrafts were in a chase of life and death. The Klein particle beam with the thickness of an arm appeared from behind from time to time, and any starcraft hit by it turned into scrap metal.
“What are the people in the command thinking!” Zhang Wei firmly held the control and made tactical maneuvers to avoid the beam of light from the rear.
Perhaps it was because he had downed three split-off worms, the bugs chasing after him seemed to take special care of him. Several beams of light barely scratched his wings, and the instruments in the cockpit still swung wildly under the interference of the Klein particles.
Air combat was cruel.

Once the fight became a one-sided chase, the side being chased was like being in a bloody massacre.
Although the starcrafts were in a tough battle because of the number of splitters, there was still la chance of winning if they continued to fight.

Zhang Wei did not understand why the flagship temporarily took over the command of Frontier and issued an order to retreat. He only knew that if this situation continued, only a few starcrafts could make it back to the hangar alive.
Just as he cursed while avoiding the rays chasing behind, the situation suddenly changed.
