Strategic Deception

When the outcome of the battle spread, it immediately caused a huge uproar.

Pegasus Group had suffered a setback. That really was... immensely satisfying.

Perhaps no one believed Maple Leaf Mining could win, but if this act of resistance could teach Pegasus Group a lesson, everyone would benefit afterward. At the very least, the exploitation would ease somewhat.

But support was one thing. Once Maple Leaf Mining's warships began patrolling this stretch of space, most companies promptly ceased production.

What a joke. If they funneled profits to Maple Leaf Mining for short-term gains now, what would they do once Pegasus Group recovered?

It was enough to offer support in their hearts. When it came to action, everyone was cautious.

Fortunately, Maple Leaf Mining had anticipated this situation long ago, as had the Great Xia Empire.

While communicating with Maple Leaf Mining and doing his best to meet their strategic needs, List continuously repaired warships, reorganized a small number of vessels into new formations, and sent them out on patrol missions.

As for the warship repair factory, it still had not been built.

The Great Xia Empire's strength in the Pegasus Galaxy was simply too weak. It could not hold onto a fixed base.

In fact, only a few days later, Pegasus Group launched an even larger attack.

The final result was that this Great Xia Empire fleet, having been deployed for less than two months, could practically be declared scrapped.

The brutality of space warfare was painfully clear.

Fortunately, most of the personnel had survived. They were the seeds of the future.

But Pegasus Group had not had an easy time either. This time, the enemy relied on a small number of fixed gun emplacements, and the two sides exchanged devastating fire. Pegasus Group's losses were more than five times
