Lyu naturally let them go.
With this fresh force gone, the Nonar United Kingdom was like a pot being emptied of its foundation, and the already precarious situations in various theaters quickly showed a disparity in combat strength.
As Yang Ming continued fighting, he realized... in all theaters, they had the upper hand.
This miraculous strategy of maneuver warfare.
The follow-up handling could be left to Lyu to resolve, and Yang Ming led the Dark Star Fleet to withdraw first from the battlefield to send these mechanical thought bodies involved in the war against humanity back for stability testing of their thoughts.
This was also an experimental project being simultaneously conducted by Lyu.
In the bridge, reports of victories kept coming out.
The remaining military forces of Nonar, knowing they were unmatched or having their command systems paralyzed, had begun surrendering against the wind.
The Wind Fleet also displayed their banners for preferential treatment of prisoners.
"Lyu, how are the personnel losses?"
"There are still some battlefields where the fighting hasn't ended, the death toll is around 270,000," Lyu said softly, "Wind truly cannot withstand war of this magnitude, if this continues, we'll face a significant strain on manpower supplies."
Yang Ming nodded: "Remember to take good care of their families and do a good job of aftermath management and nationwide mourning."
"Yes, don't worry, boss," Lyu sighed gently, pausing for a few seconds.
Yang Ming laughed: "What's wrong? Do you think it's too cruel for humans to fight humans?"
"Not at all," Lyu quickly replied, "Wars among humans have never ceased. Military technology often develops first to kill lifeforms of the same species, and I've long been aware of this."
"Then why did you sigh?"
"I was thinking about how we directly attacked their unprotected surface to force them to return. Boss, although this was a desperate measure, yet..."
"Lyu, that's war."
Yang Ming said:
"In this war, we've always been on the side of justice.
"Wind didn't provoke this country but was met with provocation and invasion, intending to annihilate Wind. If we hadn't won, all of Wind would have fallen, the attacked being Ilando Star, the Fifth Administrative Star, the homeland of 026.
"They ignore boundaries, yet demand that we constrain ourselves with morality, which is extremely unfair to the soldiers of Wind.
"Admiral Thomas once told me a principle — make your soldiers' deaths meaningful.
"In war, we must be responsible for every soldier of the Luofeng Empire and their families, and we only need to be responsible for them."
Lyu sighed softly: "Alright, boss."
"Don't use excuses like helpless measures," Yang Ming said seriously, "we haven't done anything wrong."
"Yes," Lyu smiled, "I was just reflecting, boss, you are indeed more mature and decisive than I am in this regard."
"It might be related to your core setting, you are compassionate to humans, Lyu."
"Alright, but we should still be thankful that the worst-case scenario didn't happen."
"What worst-case scenario?"
"If the Empire had directly deployed their emergency mobile fleet, a massive fleet of over a thousand warships, into the Nonar United Kingdom at this moment, and the latter surrendered to the former, our sacrifices would have been in vain."
Lyu laughed: "This is the Sherman Empire's only way to restrain us and protect this pawn, but it seems they haven't realized they could do that."
Yang Ming:...
Is that possible?
"They probably don't take Wind too seriously. I'll take a rest first. Call me anytime if anything happens. Commanding a war is much more exhausting than joining the battlefield myself."
