“We can’t retreat!”
As soon as someone suggested retreating, Moro immediately stopped them, “We can’t let Kether’s sacrifice be in vain. Besides, I have the strategist’s plan…” He thought carefully. The strategist’s tactics would suffice even against a late-stage Level 2 civilization, slightly stronger than them, not to mention an early-stage Level 2 one.
After all, in a situation where both sides are blind, they could easily infiltrate within a million kilometers of Earth if they split their forces.
As long as one warship penetrates, the war is won!
“Captain, what did the strategist say to you in the infirmary?!”
Someone couldn’t help but ask, unsure of what was happening.
“Secrets of heaven must not be disclosed!”
Moro shook his head, not intending to reveal anything. After a moment, he said, “You all rest assured, the strategist’s plan is absolutely flawless. Even if this Pangu civilization possesses late-stage Level 2 technological level, they will certainly perish…”
People looked at each other, somewhat incredulous, “The enemy has hundreds of thousands of warships, while we have only a hundred…”
“These are all minor issues. Didn’t the 9 warships of the 10th fleet take down tens of thousands of the enemy’s warships?!”
Moro dismissed the doubts, stating, “Everything is still within controllable range. Once the engineering ships are ready, you all will depart to support the frontlines…”
After finishing, he asked, “Any news from Seth?”
“Not yet, it will take at least three more hours…”
“Um, I hope they’ve managed to get information on the enemy robots’ rules…”
“Commander, let’s retreat quickly!!!”
At the temporary base in the asteroid belt, all the captains of the fleets began to urge.
“The enemy is clearly hiding their technological level. They’re already at the early stage of Level 2 now, who knows if they have mid-stage or even late-stage Level 2 technology?!”
“Exactly, the technology level from Level 1 to Level 2 is difficult to breach, it might not be possible even in ten thousand years. But from the early stage of Level 2 to the mid-stage, it only needs a few hundred years…”
Seth was also a bit hesitant. Seeing this, Miro at his side furiously said, “You are quite daring. Who dares to retreat without my brother’s orders?!”
“Lord Miro, it’s not that we are afraid to die, it’s just that the enemy’s strength now greatly exceeds our previous understanding. If we continue with the previous combat plan, I’m afraid we might be defeated here…”
“Yes, this time, if it weren’t for the 10th Fleet risking their lives, our entire fleet would likely have been doomed…”
Many of the captains present felt fortunate. Thankfully, Moro was stubborn back then and had Kether break through, otherwise, if any of them had been there, they would be dead.
In fact, some captains even felt a bit of schadenfreude, thinking that with Kether dead, Moro must be heartbroken.
“Well, I don’t care. I am also a deputy commander. Can’t I manage you?”
“Without my brother’s orders, no one is allowed to retreat. The daily scheduled attacks must not stop!”
Miro said this and turned to look at Seth, saying coldly, “Commander Seth, don’t forget how you got here…”
Seth’s expression changed slightly, and the hint of timidity in his heart gradually faded. He nodded, “Even if the enemy has the level of an early-stage Level 2 civilization, they are still far behind us…”
“How the war proceeds will be decided by the captain. As captains of our respective fleets, we should do our duty and follow orders…”
“Until new instructions from Captain Moro arrive, everyone should act according to the original plan…”
“Also, closely monitor the enemy’s movements. If any ships leave the Mars defense line, report it immediately…”
Earth, Xia Du Base.
“Senator Chu, are you really going to the Moon?!”
Senator Zhou was somewhat surprised. He thought Senator Chu would stay on Earth. After all, he had consolidated all of Earth. Given this opportunity, he could easily stand in the first position.
“Yes!”
Colonel Chu nodded, saying, “The Moon has never openly recruited people. This time, they specifically want strategists with military skills, obviously wanting people from Earth to participate in this war…”
“This is a significant breakthrough for us. We can get closer to the Pangu civilization and understand more about the universe…”
“We need more information to know how to proceed…”
Senator Sun couldn’t help but say, “But you don’t have to go personally. Can’t we just send some people from the think tank?!”
Colonel Chu shook his head slightly, “They can strategize, but when it comes to critical decisions, they ultimately lack confidence. Only if I go myself can 1 be at ease…”
Everyone understood his meaning. They were afraid that the strategists, not knowing how to choose in certain situations involving Earth, might harm the situation with good intentions.
“In that case, we won’t try to persuade you any more…”
“With Senator Chu there, we will feel a bit more at ease…”
Senator Zhou thought for a moment and said, “Senator Chu, now that Earth is integrated, did the chief administrator on the Moon, Mr. Wu, say what we need to do?”
After thinking for a while, Senator Chu said, “First, maintain the status quo and distribute some benefits within limits. The rest will be discussed later…”
Just then, a councilor rushed in excitedly, “Good news, the fleet that attacked Earth has been destroyed!!”
“What?!”
Everyone quickly moved to the ground command center. After understanding the situation, they realized what had happened.
“The tactic of Moro’s fleet is terrifying. They directly dragged down more than 10,000 warships…”
“10,000 warships, many people must have died, right…”
“Also, on the Mars defense line, another 20,000 warships were destroyed.
Altogether, maybe millions of people from the Pangu civilization have died to protect us…”
“This…”
The crowd had complex emotions, a feeling that was hard to express.
“We have always speculated about the actions of the Pangu civilization with the utmost malice, but we never expected them to make such a huge sacrifice to protect the Earthlings”
Several senators present felt a sense of shame.
“Don’t feel too down, everyone. After all, we represent the Earth. Speculating with ill intent about the actions of the Pangu civilization is our duty and our mission.”
“Yes, 1 understand. It’s just that this feeling of guilt will linger with me for a long time…”
Senator Sun turned to Colonel Chu and said, “When you go to the Moon, remember to mention to them that if they trust us, we can recruit soldiers from the Earth. Even if they go to the front lines, it’s possible…”
“Yes, protecting the Earth shouldn’t mean only their people have to die…”
Colonel Chu nodded and said, “I know. If 1 get the chance, I will bring it up…”
At that moment, a spaceship landed outside the base.
Before long, someone came to report, “Report, the Pangu civilization has come to pick up the strategist to go to the Moon…”
“Wait a moment, we’ll be right out!”
After Colonel Chu said those words, he looked at the people and said, “The
Earth now entrust to all of you…”
With that, accompanied by a dozen strategists who were already prepared, he walked out together..
