On the other hand, Griffin’s fleet needed to restart their engines. This gave Jiang Fei time to widen the distance between them. When Griffin’s fleet launched another attack, Jiang Fei’s two main ships had already joined up with their respective fleets, moreover, they had already run far away.

“Activate Gravity Distortion!”Griffin was a little angry because he felt that he had been played by the enemy.

!!
“General, we don’t have much antimatter left. If we activate gravity distortion again, our two anteco marauders will exhaust all antimatter!”The Adjutant reported.

“Don’t worry about it. Carry out the order!”Griffin shouted loudly. He had already paid such a high price. If Jiang Fei escaped again, he would really lose a lot of money.

“Yes!”The Adjutant immediately passed down the order.

Very soon, the resistance fleet increased their speed again and chased after Jiang Fei’s fleet.

“General, they are catching up again!”Clark reported.

“Yes!”Jiang Fei nodded. However, his expression did not change because he was the highest commander of this fleet. If he panicked, the others would not be able to remain calm.

“Malekki, calculate how long the enemy’s main fleet’s antimatter reserves can last,”Jiang Fei instructed his portable artificial intelligence.

“Master, the enemy fleet’s antimatter reserves are almost depleted. This is the last time they activate their force field,”Malekki quickly calculated the results.

“Okay! I got it!”Jiang Fei nodded secretly, although the enemy fleet had no more antimatter skills to activate, he was not sure about the duration of each force field. If the duration was too long, the enemy would catch up.

“General, why don’t we do another missile barrage?”Clark asked tentatively.

“No! The enemy will not fall in the same place twice!”Jiang Fei shook his head. Griffin did not give the order to directly destroy the martha-class dreadnought. That was to capture him, the general of the Imperial Army.

If the martha-class dreadnought once again activated the missile barrage, Griffin would definitely not allow the fleet to activate the reconfiguration to take damage. Because if that happened, Jiang Fei would once again pull away from them, as for the resistance fleet, they had exhausted their antimatter. They could no longer activate the gravity distortion. Therefore, once they were pulled away, they would lose all hope of capturing Jiang Fei alive.

Since it was impossible to capture Jiang Fei alive, was there a need for Griffin to let the fleet take damage head-on? Although the missile barrage of the martha-class dreadnought was very destructive, because the damage was scattered, a single wave of attack was not particularly frightening.

If Griffin had given up on capturing Jiang Fei alive, he could have ordered the fleet to not activate their reconfiguration and take a wave of missiles head-on. Then, the fleet would fire in unison and directly destroy the martha-class Dreadnought under Jiang Fei’s command!

Therefore, Clark’s suggestion at this moment was basically suicide.

At this moment, Jiang Fei’s fleet’s drones were attacking Griffin’s fleet crazily. However, these drones were being destroyed at a faster and faster rate because Griffin was already anxious, in order to catch up to Jiang Fei’s fleet before the gravity distortion effect ended, he no longer spared the cost of the drones and began to release the drones to block the interference.

With the cooperation of the defense frigates and the drones, the Imperial Army’s drones were shot down in large numbers. At this time, it was very difficult to interfere with the resistance’s movement speed.

“Release the Gravity Mines!”Jiang Fei ordered.

“General, we only have two squadrons of minesweepers. Should we release all of them?”Clark asked.

“Release all of them. Spread out the gravity mines as much as possible!”Jiang Fei ordered. Now, he could only try to stall for time.

“Yes, Sir!”Clark immediately ordered the squadron of minesweepers in the fleet to start setting up the gravity mines.

This was because the minesweepers were very slow. Normally, they would be loaded onto the main ship. However, the martha-class Dreadnought had to store more missiles to release the missile barrage, therefore, it was impossible to load the minesweeper squadron.

The same was true for the dunov-class battlecruiser. Although it was modified from a heavy cargo ship and had a large amount of storage space, almost all of the space was used to load anti-matter, therefore, there were not many spots left for the minesweeper squadron.

This caused Jiang Fei’s fleet to only have two minesweeper squadrons. It was impossible for them to quickly complete the airmine deployment of the entire flight path. Therefore, Jiang Fei gave the order to have the minesweepers spread out the mines. It was a bluff!

Very soon, the two squadrons of mine-laying machines began to lay out the gravity mines. Each of the mine-laying machine squadrons carried 100 gravity mines. Once they were done laying out the gravity mines, they had to return to the mothership to replenish them. Therefore, after dropping 200 gravity mines.., the two mine-laying machine squadrons returned to the ship.

In the gravity well of the star, although the speed of the ship was greatly affected, the flight path was very wide and unobstructed. 200 gravity mines might sound like a lot, but they were spread out over 10,000 kilometers in the width of the flight path, these empty mines were very loose. It was impossible for them to cause destructive damage to the enemy.

“General, the mine-laying squadron is loading the empty mines. Do you want to continue laying mines?”Clark asked.

“Yes! This time, focus on the central area of the flight path!”Jiang Fei changed his previous order, after all, loose mines could not cause destructive damage. Once the enemy saw through it, they might not even go to remove the mines. Instead, they would have the heavy patrol go directly to the mines, in any case, one or two gravitational air mines would not be able to destroy a heavy cruiser that was full of shields and armor.

Therefore, in order to confuse the enemy, Jiang Fei decided to make the empty mines illusory and real so that the enemy would not be at ease if they did not clear the mines. Clearing the mines would also waste time. Once Griffin struggled in such a difficult situation.., then, Jiang Fei would be able to win valuable time.

“Yes!”Clark immediately gave the order to the mine-laying squadron.

Very soon, the mine-laying squadron that had reloaded the gravity mines set off again. Then, they began to lay mines densely near the center of the flight path. Two hundred gravity mines were concentrated in four to five areas, the mine-laying squadron returned to the flight path once again. Then, they returned to their scattered state of laying mines.

Just as the Imperial Army was busy minesweeper, Griffin’s fleet had also barged into the outermost minefield!

“Boom!”An aerial mine was detonated. The Protective Shield of the galas law enforcer-class heavy cruiser shook violently from the explosion, but it did not suffer any damage!

“General, there are aerial mines ahead!”Although the cruiser was not damaged, entering the minefield was not a small matter. An aerial mine was not scary, but what was scary was an aerial mine, so there was no need for Griffin to give the order.., the speed of the entire fleet slowed down by itself.
