Chapter 31

This was why the full S Battleship Fleet from Planet Bhutler was surrounded by the Helkan interstellar battleship fleet.

The scariest thing was that Jack thought he would still be fooled by Bob, even if he was given another chance.

This was because no one doubted what Bob had said after Jack revealed the secret of the energy diamond to all the staff officers.

It wasn’t because Bob’s plan was brilliant, but because the energy diamond was tempting enough.

The reason why Planet Bhutler had robbed the top resource planet of the Smonpabellen civilization was because someone said that there was an energy diamond there.

Unfortunately, the energy diamond was lost in the process of escaping.

However, there was an energy diamond on Planet Terra!

It could very well be the energy diamond that the Bhutlerians had lost.

Damn it!

“Captain Jack, the cannons of all the enemy starships have locked onto our main ship!”

A terrified scream woke Jack.

Under the effects of fear, anger, and regret, Jack instantly lost all rationality.

“F*ck. Order all members of the S Battleship Fleet to charge their cannons and attack the enemy ships immediately. As for those without cannons, go all out and ram into the enemy ships!”

Jack understood that he had no chance of escaping when faced with such a powerful fleet.

He was a proud person. Thus, even if he was defeated, he would never surrender.

If they could not escape, they would perish together with the enemy ship!

…

In an instant, the light from various high-energy particles covered the entire starry sky.

High-energy beams rampaged through the starry sky. In an instant, some of the starships from the Bhutlerian S Battleship Fleet were torn into pieces by the high-energy particles.

The battle was very short.

Due to the huge difference in strength between the S Battleship Fleet from Planet Bhutler and the fleet from Planet Helka, the majority of the S Battleship Fleet from Planet Bhutler had lost their ability to fight not long after they launched their attack.

Meanwhile, the attacks from the S Battleship Fleet from Planet Bhutler were all blocked by the energy shields of the destruction-grade battleships.

As a result, Planet Helka’s fleet was completely victorious with zero casualties.

There were rarely zero casualties during interstellar wars in the universe.

It was extremely rare!

Similarly, it was rare for one side to be completely wiped out.

This was unless there was a huge hatred between the two parties.

Such as the hatred between Planet Bhutler and the Smonpabellen civilization.

The Smonpabellen civilization had sworn to wipe out the entire Planet Bhutler before they would stop.

In most cases, when the interstellar war reached the middle and late stages, most of the interstellar battleships of the disadvantaged party would be damaged and lose their combat ability. They would no longer have any hope of winning and would choose to surrender to the party that had the advantage.

Meanwhile, the victorious party would also choose to accept the surrender of the defeated.

After that, the surrendered starship soldiers would be detained and sent back to their original civilization only after a ransom was paid.

The captured interstellar battleships would face the same fate.

However, if the defeated civilization was unwilling to pay a high ransom…

… then the result would be simple. The winner would escort most of the captured soldiers to the mining areas.

Some soldiers would even be sold as slaves to slave merchants in the galaxy.

Of course, if some excellent soldiers sincerely sought refuge with the victorious civilization, they could join the victorious civilization after passing a test.

In the interstellar battlefield of the Model Galaxy, choosing to surrender after losing was not a rare thing.

Even though surrendering represented humiliation…

… at least they could save their own lives.

If they didn’t choose to surrender, they would be reduced to dust in the vast universe.

In fact, their heads would even be cruelly cut off as spoils of war for the victorious.

…

“If you want me to surrender, will you still be considered the top advisors of Planet Bhutler? Can’t you think of a better plan?”

Captain Jack of the S Battleship Fleet roared loudly.

He firmly opposed the surrender.

It was not that he did not see the situation clearly.

It was because the battle had ended too quickly. Thus, Captain Jack felt that he had the strength to fight but did not use it.

When faced with the massive fleet from Planet Helka, even if he had no hope of winning, he was prepared to live and die with the Helkan fleet.

Firstly, Captain Jack was a very proud man.

Since his first day as a basic soldier in the interstellar fleet, to his current position as a Captain who commanded a full fleet, he had never tasted failure.

However, he had completely lost today.

Not only had he been toyed with by his opponent, his fleet had also been mercilessly destroyed.

In an instant, all the battleships of the S Battleship Fleet had lost their combat ability.

Meanwhile, all of Planet Helka’s combat power, including the weakest Snow Eagle Mechas, did not suffer any damage at all.

Thus, Jack he could not accept this outcome.

Now, Jack’s fleet could not even perish together with the Helkan fleet, let alone bite back.

In addition, it wasn’t that Jack had any noble morals. In fact, he wasn’t a person with much loyalty.

The relationship between Jack and the Bhutler civilization was simply that of between a mercenary soldier and an employer.

However, Jack was the Head Captain of the full S Battleship Fleet from Planet Bhutler. His reckless command had led to their defeat, which was bound to cause huge losses to the Bhutler civilization.

Under such circumstances, once Jack surrendered and was redeemed by the upper echelons of the Bhutler civilization, not only would he be mocked by his archenemies, he would also be executed as a criminal by the upper echelons of the Bhutler civilization.

He had lost an entire fleet in an instant. Thus, no matter what, the upper echelons of the Bhutler civilization would not let him off.

After all, the Bhutler civilization was not a kind civilization.

Therefore, rather than being mocked and executed, it was better to die gloriously on the battlefield.

If he died, everything would be over.

He would be renowned for his bravery.

He might even be regarded as a martyr of the Bhutler civilization.

The dead were highly respected. Thus, no matter how big of a mistake he made, it would not be investigated.

However, Jack did not know something.

He didn’t know that some of his staff officers didn’t want to die here.

They were all mercenary soldiers hired by the upper echelons of the Bhutler civilization, not official soldiers of the Bhutler civilization.

The Bhutler civilization was a civilization where a group of bandits gathered. These bandits only needed to be ruthless and have the guts to kill. They did not have any morals.

Looking at Captain Jack, who was roaring crazily…

A group of staff officers quickly exchanged glances.

Those who could become staff officers had higher intelligence than ordinary people. They were not fools who did not know their place. Thus, they did not want to die for nothing.

They reached an agreement with just a simple eye contact.

…

Jack refused to surrender.

He directed the warships that could still engage in interstellar travel and started the engine to rush towards the Helkan fleet.

They travelled like a moth to a flame.

Meanwhile, in the command room on Planet Terra…

Brian was directing the fight through the combat system.

Brian was very impressed to see that Jack had chosen not to surrender even after a battle without suspense.

“Not bad. This Jack is a very unique person. If I can subdue him, he will definitely be of great help to my fleet in the future.”

“Are you refusing to surrender? Bob, although I only asked you to convince Jack to join Planet Helka, look at the situation now. Jack is obviously ready to die. What can you do to make him give up the idea of dying first and calm him down? Only then will you have a chance to convince him.”
