Chapter 561, I have no choice...

The Fury Flame Fleet was like a flock of sheep, wanting to go to Wuqi Star. The Blood Sharks didn't care much about the general direction, but they were extremely intimidating when it came to the route. As long as the direction the Fury Flame Fleet wanted to go didn't suit the Blood Sharks' wishes, they would pop up, make an attacking gesture, block the direction the Fury Flame Fleet wanted to go, and force them to go in another direction.

Being treated like a sheep is certainly a very bad feeling.

He also tried to change the status quo, but... it was difficult.

Ignore the intimidation and leave by force?
That's not just a threat, the blood shark will really attack.

Then the question arises: Is this Blood Shark's extreme pressure?

Should we fight hard? Does the Fury Fleet intend to fight to the death?

Obviously, no.

If Paulitos had the courage to fight, he wouldn't be in this situation now.

Couldn't we fight on the Shangdong-Guangfeng line? The planetary defense conditions there were so perfect.

In the three key worlds of the Aozlaw star field: Mentus II, Aoya Star, and Heyang VIII, can't we fight? The former is the core transportation hub, the middle is the capital of the star field, and the latter is the territory of the Mechanicus. They all have relatively good defense conditions and are strategic points.

When the alliance attacked these places, he chose to give up. How could he make the decision to fight to the death at this moment?
But under the huge sense of uneasiness, he was obviously anxious.

He began to doubt whether the decisions he had made so far were correct.
He even rarely started to discuss this issue with Wang Mengsong, who had always disagreed with him.

"You want to discuss this with me?" Wang Mengsong said with a sad smile, "Are you going to discuss it with a loser like me who even lost the flagship of the regiment?"

Since the destruction of the Torchlight battle barge, Wang Mengsong has become different. He is no longer so flamboyant, and no longer opposes Paulitos on various matters.

He became silent and focused on the affairs of the regiment itself. He directly agreed to Paulitos's order of unified command, and from then on, he carried out any order from Paulitos without any compromise.

But apart from this, he has no other subjective initiative.

Paulitos was still able to keep his face calm: "You are indeed a loser. But you haven't lost everything. You still have 700 warriors and a fleet that has lost its flagship. And I am also a loser. I led the defeat of the Proud Claw Star Region and led a failed war that destroyed your flagship. And soon, the two of us will lose everything together."

Wang Mengsong was silent for a moment, then he spoke with difficulty: "Didn't you convince Alfonzo's group of oil men? They have promised to speed up and come to rescue us, right?"

"Yes," Paulitos said, "but I'm not sure if we can hold on until then. I can't figure out the movements of the Alliance Fleet, and I don't know what they want to do."

In the past, Paulitos always said this.

Every time Wang Mengsong heard Paulitos treat the alliance as a monster that could not be defeated at all, he would feel unhappy and angry from the bottom of his heart.

But now he no longer thinks so.

Although he was educated by the blood shark, why did the blood shark suddenly appear? In such a vast universe, is there such a coincidence?
Not too possible.

He could also imagine that this was what Gu Hang in the alliance did.

After thinking for a moment, Wang Mengsong could only give his answer with a wry smile: "I can't guess it either."

"Then do we have to retreat like this?" Paulitos' voice finally became confused.

Wang Mengsong took a breath and shook his head. "I don't know, I really don't know... In the past, I looked down on you for retreating again and again, thinking that you could fight this battle and that battle. Although the probability of winning is limited, there is no reason to fight a war only when it is 100% safe. There is always a risk."

"Obviously, this time, taking the initiative to attack, ambush and encircle the three Alliance battlecruisers with superior forces, is a battle with the highest probability, the greatest chance of success, and great rewards. I was excited at the time, thinking that I could finally stop being a coward and fight a good battle. In fact, I was laughing at you in my heart for having to wait for this opportunity to take action."

"But it was this proactive attack that led to the bitter consequences we are facing today."

"I have been wondering for some time, if we were facing a more complete and powerful main fleet of the alliance before this, we would have lost more miserably and thoroughly if we had really fought according to my ideas, right?" "Now, although the situation is very bad, at least we still have a glimmer of hope."

Speaking of this, Wang Mengsong sighed.

He stood up and patted Paulitos on the shoulder.

This action was unlikely to happen in their previous relationship.

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

"You are the commander-in-chief, I will listen to you."

After saying this, he turned and left.

He also believed that Paulitos could understand the meaning behind this sentence: I have no other choice, you can do whatever you want.

Paulitos sat there motionless, and after a long while he let out a bitter laugh.

There is nothing I can do...

He always felt that he was really bad.

In the past, he had never thought that he would become the Chapter Master. In his opinion, Captain Erso was wise and brave, not only the best warrior in the entire Chapter, but also a great leader. Under his leadership, the Chapter became more and more prosperous, with nearly 3,000 warriors at its peak, ranking second in the Iron Rage Triangle.

The first company commander, Cao Boyang, is also extremely outstanding. He is the second-in-command of the regiment and is capable of standing on his own.

There are also many elites with titles such as company commander and champion...

But they were all dead.

When did the Chapter start to have bad luck?

It was during those years when I was heading to the Dragon Eagle Star Region and encountered the Alliance.

Originally, I thought they were just going to fight a group of green-skinned aliens and expand their influence in the Dragon Eagle Star Domain, just like what they had done in the Menghe Star Domain.

However, firstly, they did not expect that the strength of that group of greenskins was beyond imagination; secondly, they did not expect that the old enemy Phoenix Regiment, which should have been almost destroyed, would be prosperous again; thirdly, they did not expect that a freak like the "Alliance" could be born from a place like the Dragonhawk Star Region!

The prosperous chapter lost hundreds of battle brothers in the war. In that nightmarish bloody fight to the death, it suddenly lost its leader and countless chapter elites.

Only he, who considered himself to have average talent, was forced to take over the regiment.

Since then, he has been walking on thin ice.

The nightmares brought about by the Alliance and the Phoenix lingered in his mind and became a deep shadow that never dissipated.

When the fighting between the two sides broke out again, this time evolving from the previous Cold War and political conflict into an all-out war, he never dared to underestimate the alliance.

Every decision he made was so cautious and careful that he was even willing to be questioned by his colleagues.

Even this time's proactive attack was discussed many times with think tanks and many advisers. We cautiously believed that the probability of success was very high, so we took the fight.

But why, when we clearly see the alliance as so powerful and treat it so carefully, why has the situation turned out to be like this?
He fell into deep confusion.

He couldn't see where the road was.
