...as the maingroup tried to hold off the attackers, the cargogroup was heading out of the territory, the maingroup had severe issues withsatnding the swarm of ships, that used it´s numbers and the environment to their advantage...
"At least the Cargofleet will make it out." ...is what they most likely thought, though it seems fate had planned otherwise...
Another group of ships, which seemed to be a hybrid between the flahs and mechanical partsemerged from the field and hunted after teh Cargogroup, as the chaos ensued around them, they saw how the cargoship for taken down in the distance, unable to help them due to the vast amount of hostiles that were surrounding them...
Their own battle went on, though it looked grim for them, the small swarm ships had moved through gaps in their already completely chaotic formation and made aiming even more difficult than it already was, heavy artillery fire came from the massive ships in the distance, though their torpedos and their kamikaze fighters were unable to reach them due to the constantly growing amount of shipswarms...
Ship by ship the left behind fleet was taken down, until they eventually witnessed how the last of the cargoships was destroyed in the distance and nearly immedietly the swarms and large ships seemed to retreat...
...what was the meaning of this?
...meanwhile one the only ship left of the cargofleet...
...They saw how the red ships retreated, what was the meaning of this? did they already reach their goal? Did they give up?
The captain suddenly stared, two massive ships came in from the back of the fleet, moving through the tunnel the still hadn´t fully closed, he tried to contact the maingroup and warn them, but the transmission did not get through...
With horror they saw as the ships went into position and fired two spheres of red light and several volleys from their triple turrets...
...a bright flash of red light followed by a massive explosion and the remainders of the defending fleet were gone, engulfed by flames and energy, having offered the ultimate sacrifice to distract the ships and yet failing to defend the cargoships...
...the remaining medium cruiser passed the borders and successfully left, the image of the explosion burnt into the crews minds...
