Because at present, everyone could see it.
Holding the wormhole passage was the most important task for this Star Destroyer squadron.
Even if something really did happen at the Mist Butterfly Civilization's Forward Base,
there was actually very little they could do.
So.
Vice Commander Huang's move
was more an expression of goodwill toward the Sky Peng Horizontal,
and it was goodwill offered in a way that fully followed the rules, while making sure Wang Dong understood exactly what was going on.
How would Wang Dong respond?
Of course, without a second thought, he accepted.
I'll do the mission.
I'll remember the favor.
This was also the "image" Wang Dong had consistently maintained ever since arriving on the extraterritorial battlefield.
A newly commissioned Star Destroyer with powerful reconnaissance and survivability capabilities,
as well as solid combat discipline and a strong sense of teamwork.
Without a doubt,
a Star Destroyer with this kind of "image"
was a comrade-in-arms welcomed on almost every extraterritorial battlefield.
Anyone hoping to make a name for themselves on the extraterritorial battlefield would take the chance to show the Sky Peng Horizontal some goodwill and build a relationship.
Vice Commander Huang was clearly no exception.
Sixteen Star Destroyers remained behind near the wormhole passage exit.
The Sky Peng Horizontal plunged straight into the vast expanse of space.
It knew the way by heart.
There was no need to follow the Mist Butterfly Civilization fleet as it withdrew.
The Sky Peng Horizontal entered superluminal travel directly,
and arrived at the Mist Butterfly Civilization's Forward Base ahead of it.
The reasoning was simple.
Even if something really did happen,
it would happen here,
not to that fleet!
Though this was a formality, practically a free handout of merit points,
they still had to do the job properly, at least
