Soon, just a few days later, Du Shiliang's United Fleet had been forced to leave the orbit of the planet.
This planet had no orbital defense system to provide shelter to the Human Fleet, so guarding the orbit and fighting against the Green Skin Fleet, which could freely advance or retreat outside, was no longer a wise choice. They could be trapped and beaten in the planet's orbit.
They had to pull out into the vast star domain to confront and drag out the Beastman Fleet.
Overall, the strengths of both fleets were similar. After all, only half of the United Fleet was here; the remaining half was with Yelisia.
About a hundred warships, including four Main Cruisers.
On the other side, the Green Skins had two hundred vessels, with three cruisers at the main warship grade.
That number was one more than the main ship that had initially escaped from Steel Wing Star.
It seed the Beastman still had so reserves.
Du Shiliang had to act cautiously, not daring to engage in a fleet-decisive battle when the strengths were so closely matched.
The implications of win or lose were far too significant.
With both sides wary of making a move, they started to play a ga of cat and mouse across the entire star system, testing, ambushing, and exchanging fire from extre distances before swiftly avoiding each other. They also took the opportunity to fire a few shots when passing near planets...
In this space situation, neither side had control of the dominion of space, but a ground battlefield was brewing the largest engagent since the war began.
Upon hearing that they had no orbital support, Perbov's first reaction was naturally one of tension.
This was certainly not good news.
He didn't even consider whether the naval battle would be won or lost. If they lost, he was prepared to suffer like the Green Skins who were bombed a while ago.
Just looking at the current situation, without ship cannon support, the Green Skin ground troops might not continue to fight guerilla warfare in such a constrained manner.
They were very likely to rise up and assemble their forces to battle humans in a large-scale engagent.
By that ti, could the human army, lacking orbital firepower support, still ensure victory?
Could they maintain a high combat damage ratio?
These were concerning issues.
But... perhaps Perbov had a bit of a gambler's nature in him.
This could also be an opportunity.
Fighting nurous small-scale, vicious battles, the fleet's fire-support was inherently limited and served more as a deterrent to prevent the enemy from gathering.
And the actual combat was being fought with a relatively fixed attrition rate.
While this was 'steady,' it was splendid if a clear victory could be secured in one of the engagents, aning countless Green Skins would lose their combat effectiveness. After the victory, human forces, with their artillery and armored groups gathered, could massacre the finally assembled Beastman army.
Of course, if they lost, the sa situation might very well fall upon themselves.
But Perbov felt it was worth the gamble.
And soon, the opportunity arose.
When the fleet of Green Skins truly appeared within the Temir Star System, the leader of the Green Skin Orcs on Temir No.5 also received the news.
This cunning Beastman Overlord imdiately perceived it as a good opportunity for a counterattack.
He had had enough of guerilla warfare; what Beastman wouldn't want to fight a trendous earth-shattering battle if possible?
Under his deliberate command, several originally scattered Green Skin Beastman armies quickly gathered around him. In just a few days, they assembled a large force of over five hundred thousand troops.
At the sa ti, even more armies were converging on his location.
But he couldn't wait any longer.
He imdiately launched an operation, deploying heavy forces to break through along a battlefront hundreds of kiloters wide.
Mighty ard trucks, Skugg War Behemoths, death tanks... all of the Green Skins' heavy equipnt were deployed!
The human army, caught off guard, was completely overwheld!
