To be honest, Duanmu Huai found dealing with the Burning Legion's fleet utterly unchallenging.
The reason was simple.
Could sailing warships from the Age of Sail go toe-to-toe with modern missile destroyers?
Of course not. This wasn't a game where even an Archer could shoot down a helicopter. That was pure nonsense.
In Duanmu Huai's eyes, the so-called Burning Legion in this sector was just like the explorers of the early Age of Sail. Relying on a few ships, guns, and cannons, they crossed the seas and bullied primitive natives armed with bows and spears. But the moment they encountered a civilization at a similar level, they would immediately crash and burn.
Not to mention that the Inquisition's civilization was far beyond the Burning Legion's level. The two sides simply weren't on the same plane.
Actually, when he heard Velen describe how terrifying the Burning Legion was, Duanmu Huai had always been puzzled.
Because in his view, the Burning Legion's behavior simply didn't resemble that of a galactic civilization.
According to Velen's description, the Burning Legion was evil and sinister. They would always infiltrate other Civilizations in secret, incite internal turmoil, and then take the opportunity to strike and seize that world.
Velen thought there was nothing wrong with this process, and neither did Varian and the others. But to Duanmu Huai, there was a huge problem with it.
Of course, it was common for colonizers to exploit conflicts among local natives, intervene while the various sides were fighting among themselves, and rule their lands.
But the problem was that the Burning Legion wasn't some ordinary group of colonizers. Wherever they went, they conquered the species on that planet, then used Fel Energy to transform them into demons of the Burning Legion.
If that was the case, why bother with
