Starting from the Planetary Governor

Chapter 1031: Chapter 560, I Can’t Do Anything About It Either…

The Fury Fleet was like a flock of sheep, wanting to go to a place called Wuqi Star. The Blood Sharks didn’t care much about the overall direction, but when it came to choosing a route, they were utterly intimidating. As long as the direction the Fury Fleet wanted to take didn’t align with the Blood Sharks’ preferences, they would emerge, making a threatening stance, blocking the Fury Fleet’s path, forcing them to move in another direction.

Being herded like sheep, this feeling was naturally very unpleasant.

He also tried to change the situation, but… it was difficult.

Ignoring the intimidation and forcing a way through?

Then it wouldn’t just be intimidation; the Blood Sharks would truly attack.

Then the question arose: Was the Blood Sharks’ pressure the limit?

Should they stand firm? Did the Fury Fleet have the determination to fight to the end?

Clearly, they did not.

If Politos had the courage to decisively engage in battle, he wouldn’t have reached this point.

Couldn’t they have fought on the Shangdong-Guangfeng front line initially? The planet’s defensive conditions there were so complete.

In the Proudclaw Cosmos’ three major worlds: Mentus II, Pridefang Star, and Hyang VIII, couldn’t they have fought? The former is a core transportation hub, the middle one is the Starfield Capital, and the latter is the Sect of Mechanics’ domain. They all had relatively good defense conditions and were all strategic points.

When the Alliance attacked these places, he chose to abandon them. So how could he now decide to fight a decisive battle?

But under immense anxiety, his distress was evident.

He began to doubt whether the decisions he had made all along were correct.

He even rarely started discussing this issue with Wang Mengsong, who had always disagreed with him.

“You want to discuss this with me?” Wang Mengsong laughed bitterly, “With me, a failure who even lost the Battle Group?”

Since the Torchlight Combat Barge was destroyed, Wang Mengsong had changed. He was no longer so flamboyant, no longer opposing Politos in every matter.

He became taciturn, focused on the Battle Group’s own affairs, directly complying with Politos’ unified command and orders, and subsequently, carrying out every command from Politos without discount.

But beyond that, he had no other initiative.

Politos could still maintain a calm face: “You are indeed a failure. But you haven’t lost everything yet; you still have seven hundred warriors and a fleet without a flagship. And I am also a failure. I led the defeat in the Proudclaw Cosmos, led a failed war that lost you your flagship. And soon, the two of us will lose everything together.”

Wang Mengsong was silent for a moment before he said with difficulty, “Didn’t you persuade Alfonso’s group of oil brothers? They have already promised to speed up and come to rescue us, haven’t they?”

“Yes,” Politos said, “but I am not sure if we can hold on until then. The movements of the Alliance Fleet, I can’t figure them out. I don’t even know what they intend to do.”

In the past, Politos always said so.

Every time Wang Mengsong heard Politos regard the Alliance as an unstoppable monster-like enemy, he felt genuinely displeased and angry.

But now he no longer thought so.

Although he was educated by the Blood Sharks, why did the Blood Sharks suddenly appear? In such a vast universe, was there such a coincidence?

Very unlikely.

He could also think that it was the work of Gu Hang from the Alliance.

After thinking for a moment, Wang Mengsong could only give his answer with a bitter smile: “I can’t figure it out either.”

“Then should we continue to retreat like this?” Politos’ voice finally carried confusion.

Wang Mengsong took a breath, shook his head: “I don’t know, I really don’t know… In the past, I looked down on your repeated retreats, thinking this battle could be fought, that one could also be fought. Although the probability of victory was limited, when has warfare ever had the principle of being one hundred percent certain before fighting? Risks must be taken.”

“Clearly this time, taking the initiative to attack, ambushing and encircling three Alliance battlecruisers with superior forces, was a battle with the highest probability and greatest advantage, with huge rewards. At that time, I even felt excited, thinking I could finally stop being a turtle and fight a good battle. I even laughed at you in my heart, thinking that you would only act in such an opportunity.”

“But it was this proactive attack that brewed the bitter fruit we have today.”

“During this time, I can’t help but think, if before this, we were facing a more complete and stronger Alliance Main Fleet, if we fought according to my ideas, we might have lost even more miserably and thoroughly, right?”

“Now, although the situation is very bad, at least we still have a glimmer of hope.”

At this point, Wang Mengsong sighed.

He stood up and patted Politos on the shoulder.

This gesture, in their past relationship, was impossible.

When their relationship was at its worst, they were like water and fire. But in the current situation, Wang Mengsong couldn’t help but want to do this.

“You are the commander-in-chief; I’ll follow your lead.”

After saying this, he turned around and left.

The meaning behind this sentence, he also believed Politos could understand: I can’t help it anymore, it’s up to you.

Politos sat motionless for a while before letting out a bitter laugh.

I have no way either…

He always felt that he was really incompetent.

In the past, he never thought he would become the Battle Group Leader. In his view, Captain Erso was wise and powerful, not only the most outstanding warrior in the entire Battle Group but also highly charismatic. Under his leadership, the Battle Group flourished, peaking at nearly three thousand warriors, firmly ranking second in the Iron Wrath Triangle.

When did the misfortune of the Battle Group begin?

Platoon Leader Cao Boyang was also extremely outstanding, the second-in-command of the Battle Group, and able to stand alone.

There were many other elites with titles of leader and champion…

But they all died.

When did the Battle Group’s misfortune begin?

Precisely when heading to the Dragonhawk Star Domain, encountering the Alliance those years.

Originally thought, it was just to fight a group of Green-skinned Aliens, expanding influence in the Dragonhawk Star Domain, just as they had done in the Menghe Star Domain.

But first, unexpectedly, the Green Skins’ strength exceeded imagination; second, unexpectedly, the old foe Phoenix Battle Group, which should have been almost extinct, was thriving again; third, even more unexpectedly, from a place like Dragonhawk Star Domain, could emerge such a monstrosity as the ’Alliance’!

The flourishing Battle Group, in the war, lost hundreds of battle brothers, suddenly losing its leader, losing countless Battle Group elites in that nightmare-like battle to the death.

Only he, who considered himself to be of average talent, was forced to take over the Battle Group.

Since then, he had been walking on thin ice, fearful and cautious.

The nightmare brought by the Alliance and the Phoenix lingered in his mind, becoming a deep shadow that never went away.

When the war reignited, transitioning from a previous cold war and political conflict to a full-scale war, he never dared to underestimate the Alliance.

Every decision he made was so cautious and careful, willing to endure the colleagues’ doubts.

Even this proactive attack was discussed many times with the think tank and various advisers, cautiously believing the probability of success was truly large, that he went out for a battle.

But why, having already regarded the Alliance so strongly and treated them so cautiously, why did the situation still go as it is now?

He fell into deep confusion.

He couldn’t see where the road ahead was.
