The Fifth Interstellar Fleet was naturally the first to act.
They were originally supposed to have been the first fleet dispatched on an expedition to Southern Cross Star.
But because of Xia Chujian's sudden proposal, they had been given a choice.
Sixty percent of them did not want to go. Only forty percent did, and they had already left the Fifth Interstellar Fleet to join the Zijun Interstellar Fleet, which was headed for total annihilation.
And now, less than five days after the Zijun Interstellar Fleet's total annihilation, the Zerg had launched a massive assault.
The Fifth Interstellar Fleet had not even finished replenishing its personnel...
Yet upon receiving the Space Fortress's warning, they did not retreat.
Just as they had said before, they had been unwilling to expedition to Southern Cross Star not because they did not want to fight the Zerg, but because they did not want to fight the Zerg under Zoln David!
The facts proved that half of their thinking had been right.
Zoln David truly was not someone they could entrust themselves to!
Now, they needed to test the other half of that belief.
They were going to face the Zerg in battle!
Very quickly, before the Military Department, Ministry of Defense, Senate, and Empress could react, the Fifth Interstellar Fleet had already prepared its counterattack.
Rong Shengwei, the former Commander-in-Chief of the Fifth Interstellar Fleet, had left the Fifth Interstellar Fleet to become the Commander-in-Chief of the newly established Zijun Interstellar Fleet.
The current Fifth Interstellar Fleet was led by Executive Vice-Captain Chen Rongnan as Acting Captain.
When he saw the urgent military intelligence sent by the Space Fortress, along with the accompanying footage, he did not hesitate for a moment before immediately issuing orders to every unit of the Fifth Interstellar Fleet.
