As the Star Union started to push back in full force, the Batarei fleet entirely collapsed.
It's like the fleet composed of three thousand Batarei warships was a giant whale, while the Tribunal fleet led by Duanmu Huai was more like a sharp blade that suddenly appeared, cutting the whale in two.
With their command center lost, the Batarei fleet plunged into chaos, and the unparalleled firepower of the Tribunal fleet caused unimaginable shock amongst these alien creatures. Amidst this chaos, the Batarei fleet became a disoriented mess—some wanted to continue the attack, some were trying to regroup their fleet, others were just trying to escape.
In fact, many of the Batarei battleships didn't die under the guns of the Tribunal but rather in collisions with their own ships during the evasive maneuvers. If one could intercept the Batarei communications, they would have heard the previously silent universe filled with raging curses, howls, loud roars and orders, and screams of despair.
