“Bow down to me and I may have mercy on you.” Joel broadcasted as his ships assaulted Tassos' fleet.

“You are crazy.” Tassos laughed.

“You are no match for my ships.” Joel watched as one by one MYRM ships get destroyed by his massive fleet.

“You are no match for our skills.” Dmitris flew above him Joel's ship and dodged the weapons.

“I am Lord Cyber Joel, the almighty. I shall deliver your fate today!” Joel smashed his console as Dmitris did another bombing run aboard his ship.

“You are delusional Joel.” Tassos counted Joel's ships and waved at an officer.

“Sir?” the officer approached Tassos.

“Call in strike package Alpha Romeo Tango.” Tassos ordered.

Joel watched as Dimitris began to line up for another bombing run and quickly moved his ship upwards. The quick upwards motion resulted in Dimitris smashing his frigate into Joel's shields and breaking in half.

“Dimitris!” Tassos watched in horror as Dimitris' Nighthawk drifted dead into space.

“He has met his maker.” Joel laughed.

“You will die now!” Tassos watched as the officer gave him the thumbs up indicating the arrival of the strike.

Tassos flew his ships in reverse and revealed a line of Trident destroyers with their guns aimed at Joel's flagship.

“Oh shit.” Joel watched as the destroyers fired their mass drivers.

Joel quickly ordered his nearby ships to shield his ship as he retreated to his base. The ships covered Joel's retreat were pierced with massive holes and immediately lost their hull integrity. The ships exploded and revealed no crew onboard.

“All AI ships.” Tassos muttered to himself as he decided to change his battle strategy.

Joel landed his ship into his base while ten more Revelation cruisers flew out to cover him.

“Focus fire on Joel's command centre. We destroy it, all the AI ships will go.” Tassos pointed at the Joel's base of operations.

The destroyers turned to adjust their field of fire and unleashed a rainstorm of projectiles towards the command centre. Joel was not a simple man, he saw Tassos' strategy and immediately directed his cruisers to form a barrier to tank the incoming long-range strike.

“We got to take out the fleet bay so he can't launch any more ships.” Tassos shouted.

“We will do what we can.” Conrad replied as he watched another wave of ships leave the bay and head to fortify the barrier.

 “Keep firing!” Tassos commanded the destroyers as he began to increase forward thrusters to assist Conrad's fleet.
