Survivors Aboard the Ghost Ship

The Terra Empire's border trade hub, the first small satellite star system Sarna had captured after invading the Terra Empire.

At this moment, Sarna's fleet had already gathered there.

Except...

Compared to the last time they had appeared there, they were missing more than forty billion warships. The once-massive fleet now had only 6.8 billion ships left.

The entire command system had descended into complete chaos. No one could contact Sarna, even though the vessel she was aboard was right in front of them.

In the end, several surviving commanders had no choice but to bypass the chain of command and contact Arno.

Looking at the reports and various data that had just been sent by the Sarna Fleet, Arno quickly realized that something had gone terribly wrong.

"Reply to Cheyina. I authorize her to immediately dispatch assault teams to force their way aboard. Take over the assault teams' command system as well. I want to watch the entire operation!"

"Yes, General!"

What exactly had happened?

Watching his adjutant leave to carry out his orders, Arno frowned and fell into deep thought.

All they currently knew was that after the enemy garrison had announced its surrender, Sarna had suddenly issued an emergency retreat order.

What was most bizarre was that only 6.8 billion warships had ultimately managed to retreat. Moreover, 99% of them had been ships positioned at the edge of the fleet. As for the ships deeper within the fleet, only 112 had escaped.

And now, none of those 112 warships could be contacted!

It seemed they would have to wait until Cheyina's side forcibly entered Sarna's warship before they could learn the truth!

"General Arno, the order has been delivered. Commander Cheyina has begun arranging the assault teams. The operation is expected to begin in one minute!"
