First, it was a chance to make some extra money. Getting it back with a few words was much easier than making the assault team fight tooth and nail for it.
Besides, the other side had handed it over willingly.
There was no risk of some hothead causing trouble by refusing to surrender and scuttling his flagship or something.
Second, it would force the Xinzhu Group to give up the Jia Family's terrain-rugged homeworld.
If the Sky Peng Horizontal had bluntly declared, "I'm going to wipe you all out,"
the Xinzhu Group certainly wouldn't have been able to escape the blockade the Sky Peng Horizontal had established in low orbit.
But they could have done the opposite.
Broken up into small groups,
they could have hidden on the Jia Family's homeworld—
a habitable planet with a population of over a billion.
Trying to hunt down every single member of the Xinzhu Group there without missing anyone
would have been
a tremendous hassle, as you could easily imagine!
Nothing like the situation now.
Out in the vast reaches of space,
once the War Shackles were deployed,
every ship belonging to the Xinzhu Group was restrained.
Where could they run?
It was easy to wipe them out in one fell swoop!
Inside the Xinzhu Group,
the despair,
the endless cursing—
Wang Dong and the others had no interest in paying any attention to it.

The three cruisers and dozens of destroyers the Xinzhu Group had left

At Shi Zunhou's command,
the Sky Peng Horizontal unleashed its full firepower!
Except for the Star Destroyer Cannon,
the gunners finally got to enjoy themselves and fire to their hearts' content in
