Chapter 75

Chapter 75. Shouting “First Strike, Sure Win” Doesn’t End Well (2)

Pierre’s fleet was like the embodiment of the phrase “unstoppable force.”

Without hesitation, they began charging into Icarus’s territory.

“Resource Zones! Target the Resource Zones first!”

“Understood, Commander!”

Though Pierre called himself a newbie, he wasn’t exactly a “complete greenhorn.”

Unlike Icarus, who had quit and returned to the game, Pierre had been playing Astral Lagrange for a while before getting possessed.

So, he had a rough idea of how to efficiently conduct battles in the game.

Accordingly, he decided to cut off Icarus’s lifeline by sending a separate fleet to ambush the Resource Zones.

However, at that very moment, Belial, who was retreating with the resource fleet under Icarus’s orders, intercepted them.

The Patrol Ship Fleet sent to ambush the Resource Zones ended up turning into cosmic dust.

As a result, Pierre’s morale, shaky from the very start, wobbled like a teenager’s fragile ego.

But right after that…

“Commander, enemy fleet spotted ahead.”

“What?”

“But there’s not a single Cruiser. Just 5 Destroyers and 20 Escort Ships.”

Seeing the small fleet, incomparable to his main force, Pierre assumed it was a reinforcement fleet sent to support the ambush on the Resource Zones.

*Beep beep beep!*

“Warning signal detected from the enemy fleet. They’re entering attack mode.”

“They can’t run, so they’re going to face us head-on?”

“What are your orders, Commander?”

Seeing the fleet activate their tracking radar and turn their turrets toward his main force, Pierre didn’t hesitate for a second. He immediately ordered the interception of those ships.

===

After the battle started, Pierre managed to destroy over half of the enemy fleet in just a few minutes.

As the remaining half turned their ships to retreat, Pierre ordered a pursuit and opened the gallery to check the current situation.

If the players from the Monster Faction were to rise up collectively due to his actions, the Earth Federation, with its lower average strength due to sheer numbers, would be in trouble.

Pierre was prepared to sacrifice himself to escape the crisis.

If Icarus, a top-ranked player, was flaming in the gallery right now, Pierre was ready to retreat his fleet, bow in apology, and even hand over resources to Icarus.

But when he entered the gallery, Pierre realized he might not be as noticeable as he thought.
