Chapter 1711
In Xiao Ran's view, this battle should never have reached such an awkward stage. First, Yamato had dragged down the entire fleet; then the fleet had dragged down all the Mobile Units. One link after another had exposed every current weakness. Of course, at this point, that was also a good thing.
The bad side was that the enemy had accurately seized upon every one of those weaknesses. Or perhaps, with the battle having developed this far, every response from the Victory Fleet had been within the enemy's calculations from the start. Even so, although the Victory Fleet appeared to be getting overwhelmed strategically, in reality it had merely endured more pressure. It was the Gamillas Fleet, which seemed to have the situation firmly in hand, that had truly suffered losses.
