The New Federation predicted that the Sherman Empire would not have the resolve for direct combat. The first fleet they sent would just outweigh the New Federation's long-range fleet, aiming to drive away the New Federation fleet.
At this moment, the other half of the New Federation fleet, which had been hiding, quickly completed a short-distance jump, flanking the Sherman Empire fleet from both sides.
This double-flanking, with twice the number of ships, in a space without any cover, was almost the death sentence for those being surrounded!
The New Federation did not attack.
The Sherman Empire fleet, under these obvious disadvantages, absolutely dared not fire the first shot!
They were once again crushed by the New Federation in the intelligence field!
These three major fleets were in a deadlock. To dispatch a fleet here for support, Sherman Empire had to consider whether there were any more New Federation fleets ambushing, and it would take more time.
