Chapter 434 The war is over
When Bron's decision was supported by Cawl, the urge in his heart to fight a decisive battle with the Star Navy fleet gradually subsided.
This expedition to suppress heretics has already failed. If we insist on fighting, it will not only be meaningless, but it may also completely destroy this extremely precious fleet.
For today's empire, such a huge loss is simply unbearable.
As for how to deal with this group of stubborn heretics next, that is obviously not something that Braon needs to worry about.
This complex and thorny problem will naturally be handed over to the Supreme Lords of Holy Terra to ponder. They possess wisdom and power far beyond that of ordinary people, and they will surely be able to come up with an appropriate plan to deal with the current dilemma.
Braun knew his duty well, and he only needed to focus on determining whether the problem could be solved by force. However, it turned out that facing such a powerful and difficult Star Navy fleet, relying solely on war could not achieve the expected results.
The most urgent task now is to ensure that the Imperial Combined Fleet can escape unscathed in order to preserve its strength for future battles.
Under Bron's orderly command, a suicide squad led by two light cruisers and more than a dozen frigates and destroyers was quickly assembled.
These fearless sailors drove their warships fiercely towards the Star Navy fleet, determined to use their lives to build an indestructible barrier for the retreating Imperial Combined Fleet.
Buy them enough time and space to allow the large force to safely withdraw from the Jesta system.
Although these dozen or so warships are small in size and have relatively weak firepower, they cannot pose any substantial threat to the powerful Star Navy. They can even be destroyed in just a few minutes.
However, these seemingly insignificant few minutes were enough for the Imperial Combined Fleet to successfully evacuate the Jesta system.
As the Imperial Combined Fleet gradually approached Mandeville Point, the situation suddenly changed drastically!
There was a blinding flash of light before nine warships from the Chaos Warband leapt out of the Warp.
This Chaos warband rushed all the way to the Jesta galaxy in order to rob the weapons and equipment in the Jesta galaxy, and spent a long time in the subspace.
Finally, when the war was about to end, they arrived at the Jesta galaxy.
Unfortunately, this Chaos war gang had just appeared and had not had time to launch an effective attack when they ran head-on into the Imperial Combined Fleet, which was in a hurry to retreat.
After seeing the appearance of the Chaos War Gang, the Imperial United Fleet vented all the humiliation they suffered in the Star Navy Fleet on the Chaos War Gang.
The commanders of the warships roared angrily: "Open fire and wipe out all these traitors."
Under the orders of the commanders of each warship, countless dense macro cannons and light spears attacked the warships of the Chaos War Gang.
After just one round of frenzied bombardment, the nine Chaos warships were transformed into dazzling fireballs and reduced to ashes in an instant, without even causing a ripple in the Jesta galaxy.
These Chaos warband's Space Marines came to the Jesta galaxy with great expectations, hoping to obtain enough weapons and equipment to expand the warband, but in the end they only came all the way here to be killed.
"Rumble..."
The imperial warships that chose to stay and block the Star Navy suffered successive explosions under the fierce attack of the Star Navy warships. Flames shot up into the sky, thick smoke billowed, and the entire starry sky seemed to be plunged into a doomsday scene.
The Imperial Combined Fleet took advantage of this opportunity, and one warship after another quickly crossed Mandeville Point and successfully escaped into the warp, thus escaping the tragic fate of being annihilated by the Star Navy.
"Captain Mendeleev, all those pseudo-emperor's lackeys have left the Jesta system via a subspace jump."
The observer reported loudly to Mendeleev.
Mendeleev squinted his eyes at the location of the Mandeville point in the holographic projection and gave a command in a deep voice over the communication channel:
"Stop attacking and stay alert!"
"Yes."
Mendeleev continued to issue orders: "Count the losses of all parties and compile a report."
"Yes."
"Notify the logistics department so they can come back and repair the damaged city."
Mendeleev began to deal with various post-war issues in an orderly manner. Whenever Mendeleev issued an order, professionals would go to deal with the relevant issues and then upload the sorted intelligence to Mendeleev's personal terminal, so that Mendeleev would be aware of all the information.
After arranging the various tasks, Mendeleev turned to look at his adjutant, Us, behind him.
"Notify commanders at all levels to come to a meeting to deal with some important issues together."
"Yes, Captain Mendeleev." Us responded respectfully.
Soon, a large number of senior officers under the Lord of the Stars gathered in Mendeleev's bridge, including almost all the Star Marines and senior officers of the navy.
Only high-ranking officers of the defense forces were stationed in various galaxies and had no chance to come to support the Jesta galaxy. Only two legion commanders, Andrada and Pixius, and several army commanders attended the meeting.
As for Tiberus, who had just surrendered, as well as Algento, Azrael and others, they were not qualified to attend this meeting at all and could only wait silently for arrangements from the Star Army.
After everyone was seated, David proudly shouted:
"It's so satisfying! We've wiped out so many of the pseudo-emperor's lackeys this time. It's truly satisfying. Now these pseudo-emperor's lackeys finally understand how powerful we are."
David's fleet had already destroyed the invading Imperial Combined Fleet as soon as the support led by Gray arrived.
Even the invading Astartes Regiment was destroyed by him personally, and only a few warships of the Imperial Combined Fleet successfully escaped. This was also the reason why David was so happy.
Dorak echoed, "This time, the battle was truly exhilarating. My fleet suffered minimal losses, yet we almost completely wiped out the false emperor's lackeys. This is truly a victory worth celebrating."
"Hahaha!"
Loud laughter rang out from the crowd in the bridge. The annihilation of the invading Imperial Combined Fleet made everyone feel better.
Kanas sighed, "What a shame, some of the pseudo-emperor's lackeys still managed to escape."
Kanas was very depressed. His brigade had never participated in the battle from beginning to end, but the war had already been won. This made Kanas depressed to death. He felt that he could not even raise his head here.
"Well, although we should be happy about our victory in the war, we should not be arrogant. Arrogance is not desirable."
Anrida spoke up to remind everyone.
"Understood." Everyone shouted in unison.
