A Commander Whose Passion Was Misplaced!

"Pursuant to the relevant treaties established by the Kindling Human Civilization Alliance,

this ship hereby submits an application for a voluntary surrender.

Esteemed strong one, if you accept this ship's application for voluntary surrender,

the Shannan Kingdom will surely provide compensation to your satisfaction afterward.

At the same time, ending this battle sooner will save you some time,

allowing you to continue your special mission."

Aboard the Dark Peng.

Wang Dong narrowed his eyes in delight.

The reasoning was simple.

If they hadn't invoked the "Death Strangler" and the Nanli Principality as a cover,

but had instead used the Dark Peng's real identity,

they would certainly have shocked their opponents and further damaged the morale aboard the "Guardian of the Mountains."

But in that case, the "Guardian of the Mountains" wouldn't have surrendered to the Dark Peng, even if it sank.

The Black Stone Duchy and the Shannan Kingdom were unavoidably hostile to each other!

By contrast,

after putting on a different identity,

in this desperate situation,

the "Guardian of the Mountains" was undoubtedly much more likely to surrender.

Because

the gap between the Nanli Principality and the Shannan Kingdom was simply too great.

So great that the two sides could never become enemies in any true sense!

Besides,

for the Nanli Principality,

a Star Destroyer as "weak" as the "Guardian of the Mountains"

wasn't something it absolutely had to obtain.

Even if it surrendered for now,

as long as the Shannan Kingdom paid a sufficient price afterward,

there was still a good chance it could buy back the "Guardian of the Mountains"!

Compared to losing the "Guardian of the Mountains" forever,

the Shannan Kingdom would surely be willing to pay any price!

And that was Wang Dong's goal!

Rather than simply sinking the "Guardian of the Mountains,"
