The reality was just as the Elf Queen had anticipated: three hours had passed in the blink of an eye, and the Saudi fleet had not retreated.
In another three hours, support forces would reach the edge of the planet, and at that time, Kexiao would also be at a loss—human warships simply couldn't match the endurance of the Titan Elves. Even if he tried to leave now, it would be difficult to escape.
Kexiao couldn't possibly escape to Rekart either, because the tightness of the Rekart star domain had forced them to migrate their entire country. The Silver Alliance's space armed forces had already withdrawn completely, so no matter where he went, they would be caught up.
The Diya Alliance was half a galaxy away, so the Sand Army had only one route, directly escaping to the home territory of Saudi. This was the nearest and most likely route for escape.
However, as time passed, Kexiao's hopes grew increasingly dim. It could be said that now, he likely couldn't escape at all.
An hour passed again, and the Sand Army seemed to realize they couldn't continue consuming resources and had to flee immediately.
At present, every soldier in the Saudi fleet was extremely tense! Unlike before, when there was an allied fleet, they were now fighting alone. They couldn't understand why the commander insisted on continuing to fight.
They finally received Kexiao's order. It seemed Kexiao had just realized that the Titan Elves had neither cunning plans nor schemes; they simply intended to support the frontier planet. Kexiao issued a series of orders, abandoning the fleet's heavy equipment, advancing at full speed, and fleeing to Saudi.
Now it was too late to leave.
The Black Wing Queen had already made contact with the support troops. Although it seemed like the Titan Elves were supporting the frontier planet, they were constantly closing the distance. Once they detected the Saudi fleet turning to flee, the Titan Elves would pivot and charge towards the Sand Army, a classic case of borrowing a path to destroy another.
More terrifyingly, at this critical moment, the Titan Elves' support armed forces suddenly split off a massive high-speed fleet, heading straight in the direction of Saudi, rather than reorganizing their fleet. The Sand Army couldn't escape!
In the command room, Kexiao's expression remained calm. At the very least, as a commander, he couldn't display any sign of panic. Composure in response is a basic quality that a commander must possess.
An unprecedentedly grand marathon was about to unfold.
The difference was that the initially slow-moving Titan Elfish support forces suddenly accelerated multiple times, like a large high-speed armed group charging towards the Sand Army.
Watching the flickering light points at the end of the starry universe... the Black Wing Queen sat lightly on the throne, feeling somewhat uneasy in her heart...
Although Kexiao lost to the Titan Elves, it wasn't by her own hand. She didn't personally eliminate her enemy, which left her emotions unsettled for a long time.
With the messages continuously sent from the front lines, the Black Wing Queen soon learned that the Saudi fleet, in its bid to accelerate, abandoned countless human equipment along the way.
The queen shook her head, as if regaining her usual confidence.
It was futile. Even though they were hundreds of astronomical units apart, the acceleration of the Titan Elves warships far surpassed that of humans. At this run-and-abandon speed, they would, at best, reach the border of Saudi, and abandoning equipment would only prolong the time, causing the fleet to completely lose its ability to resist.
Not knowing whether to be happy or disappointed, there was a moment of sadness. She hadn't expected that the man, reputed to be one of the three heroes of the human race, Kexiao, was just a pretender. Losing to such a person was truly vexing.
——
In this heart-pounding marathon, the ordinary Saudi soldiers hadn't realized anything, but the officers and soldiers in the power room were drenched in cold sweat, because they knew all too well that the fleet simply couldn't make it back to Saudi.
Eight hours flew by, and as the Titan Elvish pursuers were about to catch up to them, Kexiao delivered a brief 5-minute speech before piloting the ninth-generation Gundam out into the universe, intercepting the pursuing troops on his own.
The Titan Elves wouldn't pay attention to a small fry like him. The majority simply advanced forward, sending a few lower-level warriors to deal with him.
But they were wrong. In less than a minute, over a dozen lower-level warriors were consecutively defeated by Kexiao.
Very soon, the Titan Elves realized there was no doubt it was Kexiao, as no other human could accomplish this. As a result, several hundred more warriors surged out, encircling him.
This area instantly became the focal point of attention for both races.
Looking around at the enemy troops, Kexiao wore a calm expression, wielding the Silver Spear and directly charging at the first enemy...
Swish, swish, swish...
The machine emitted numerous afterimages, charging as if at three times speed, unleashing a series of extreme lunges, causing continuous explosions, expending his entire life, maintaining a hand speed of up to 1.5K.
Kexiao never loses unless he has no intention of winning.
The battle consumed quite a bit of Kexiao's energy. Even for him, sweat was evident. After eight minutes, over two hundred Titan Elvish mid-level warriors were all killed.
Looking in a daze at everything, the Black Wing Queen, the Starlight Queen, and the dozen queens of the pursuing fleet were speechless. This person was truly terrifying, worthy of being called a human hero.
Until the last mid-level warrior was down, the ninth-generation model ceased any movement.
The Titan Elvish queens also understood that Kexiao was only delaying and acting as bait—now, looking at the motionless machine, everyone had grasped that he had used human light transmission to escape.
However, this battle left an indelible shadow in the heart of the Titan Elves. They hadn't expected that not only did the human race have the Revenge Shadow Rider, but also such a legend comparable to it.
But every legend has its end. An hour later, the Sand Army moved into the effective firing range of the Titan Elves, and they still couldn't return to Saudi, only managing to reach the V583 asteroid belt, a place where he had confronted Feng Yi multiple times.
With the continuous volleys of the Titan Elves' space weapons, the trailing human warships disintegrated and exploded one after another, turning into debris in space.
The high leaders of allied nations wore ugly expressions; they couldn't believe that even Kexiao...
The enemy's firepower was too fierce to let even one Sand Army go. The Saudi troops ultimately crash-landed on the binary stars, on the land that was once their home.
As they entered the atmosphere, one could see a scene of yellow and red, and above it, the upper sky. The color of the wasteland instantly appeared before everyone's eyes. This was a place where 'Bizarre' had been, now completely desolate with resources nearly exhausted and gravity significantly reduced. Even 'Bizarre' had left.
Fortunately, the Titan Elves' weapons couldn't penetrate the thin atmosphere, and thousands of warships landed in succession...
After stepping out of the warship, Kexiao looked up toward the distant horizon, eyes piercing through time and space.
The Titan Elves hadn't given up chasing, and within minutes, their cloud-covering warships arrived swiftly.
Seeing this, Kexiao let out a gentle sigh: "So you have come, after all. What a pity, I thought it would be all of you."
——
Through stellar projections, classified secretary Blanche's eyes welled up with tears!
She understood everything now. When the general instructed her to leave, he had told her to accurately calculate the Titan Elves' warship endurance; he was planning to intercept at the endurance point of the Titan Elves' fleet, and the goal wasn't to return to Saudi at all.
This was why he ordered her to install an artificial black hole on the binary stars, the general's intentions had been so evident back then, why had she been so foolish!
She had even come to realize why the general had evacuated all the soldiers, leaving only basic operating personnel on the battleships, and why he had her record the files of each soldier, to comfort the families of these people well.
Indeed, Kexiao borrowed warships from each nation in order to lure the entire enemy fleet out to the binary stars and then detonate the black hole.
No! This can't be! You are General Kexiao! Why choose such a way when, as commander, you could have left in advance?
On the horizon, the Titan Elves' warships grew denser...
At this moment, Kexiao actually smiled. Looking at the soldiers who had disembarked with him, a wave of guilt washed over him. But for humanity, this was a necessary measure.
Though he had already explained the truth to the soldiers in the recent dialogue, he still couldn't let go of his actions for a long time.
