After Bulon's decision received Belisarius Cawl's support, the urge in his heart to fight the Star Navy Fleet to the death gradually subsided.
This expedition to punish the heretics had already been declared a failure. If they insisted on continuing the slaughter, not only would it be meaningless, but they might also bury this incomparably precious fleet here for good.
