Reporting a battle between our forces and the blood dragons.
We entered the Chugoku system from Honshu with a small group of four fighters to test their defenses.
As soon as we arrived in Chugoku we met resistance from two gunboats.
Immediately we moved in and attacked the vessels. Soon, the two gunboats were destroyed, but we also lost two pilots in the process.
In the meantime another gunboat and a fighter arrived.
I decided it would be better to leave Chugoku for now and we jumped back to Honshu.
The blood dragons followed. I decided to give the fighter a duel while my wingman called for reinforcements to deal with the gunboat.
Together with one of our gunboats he then fought the blood dragon gunboat.
Unfortunately I cannot provide a guncam of the destruction of the blood dragon gunboat as I was busy with the duel.
Then a cruiser class vessel of the blood dragons arrived and we had to interrupt our duel. Unfortunately our gunboat was destroyed and my duel continued.
After losing all his nanobots and shield batteries the dragon decided to flee however and jumped back to Chugoku.
I can't say I honour this move, but at least there was some intelligence behind it.
I then returned to New Tokyo to repair my damaged ship.
