Surrender? No way! Counterattack!!!

Interstellar wars in the universe rarely result in one side being completely wiped out.

Unless it is immortal.

One side vows to wipe out the other side before they won't accept surrender.

Many times, when interstellar wars are fought in the mid to late stages, the side at a disadvantage no longer has any hope of winning and chooses to raise the white flag and surrender as a prisoner.

And the winning side will more often than not gladly accept.

They would take the surrendered starship soldiers into custody and return them to the civilization behind the defeated fleet by demanding a ransom.

The same goes for captured starships.

And if the civilization on the defeated side was not willing to pay a high ransom, then the winning side would mostly escort the captured soldiers to mining areas or even sell them as slaves to interstellar slave traders.

In interstellar battlefields, it is not uncommon to choose to surrender after a defeat.

Surrendering is the choice of shame.

But at least, having the chance to live.

...

"Surrender? Never!!!"

Captain Lizardman Bamu roared.

He refused to surrender!

Even if there was no semblance of victory, he vowed to perish with the fleet.

Not because he was so brave, but once he surrendered, he would die a more painful death after being ransomed back by the Black Lizard Star Pirates' headquarters for a hefty ransom.

As a captain of Starfleet.

He was bound to take the main responsibility for the failure of this interstellar war.

Having lost so many starships in one go, the headquarters would never let him die comfortably.

Star pirates would not speak of mercy and compassion.

Therefore, instead of being tortured to death, it would be better for him to die in the interstellar battlefield with honor, which would at least show his bravery and fearlessness.

However, what Captain Bamu did not know was this.

Those Lizardman officers under his command didn't want to die here.

They were pirates, not the regular Imperial forces of the Pelor civilization.

Star pirates just needed to have the skills to burn and kill and be ruthless, they didn't need to be selfless.

Looking at Captain Bamu who was hissing and roaring.

Inside the command cabin, a group of lizardman officers looked at each other.

They had a common thought.

...

"Refuse to surrender? Then keep fighting!"

Captain Hart after receiving a decisive reply from the Lizardman captain.

With a stoic expression, he gave the order.

"Concentrate fire and attack the Lizardmen's main ship!"

"Take out their main ship, and those lizardmen who are resisting lose their heads!"

"But always remember, don't destroy enemy transports and industrial ships."

"Lord Lord has repeatedly emphasized that these two types of starships must be preserved!"

Inside the transport ship, it was loaded with the energy blocks and alloy resources that Fang Ze needed.

Once the transport ship was destroyed, it would be difficult to preserve these things as well.

Industrial ships, on the other hand, had the ability to repair starships.

Before the Morda civilization had perfected the relevant physical industry, Fonze needed to use these industrial ships to repair starships that were broken in battle.

At the same time, the facilities on the industrial ships were able to perform daily repairs and maintenance on the starships.

For the current Morda civilization.

It was very important to be able to have a few industrial ships.

...

As Captain Hart's orders were relayed down.

Most of the frigates in the fleet began to focus their fire on shelling the main ships of the Black Lizard Star Pirates' fleet.

Smaller frigates built by Fonze.

The ship's cannon was a high-energy particle main cannon, as well as eighty-eight small energy secondary cannons.

It was basically impossible for a single small frigate to destroy a 10,000 meter class heavy starship.

Its shipborne cannon would have a hard time penetrating the hull defenses of a heavy starfighter.

However, when hundreds of small frigates concentrated their firepower and shelled this heavy star battleship.

That was a different result.

Just one round of cannon fire.

This 10,000 meter class heavy interstellar battleship was pummeled with countless energy beams.

Even the bridge had been pierced.

Just a little bit short of that, the pilot command module where Captain Bamu and the others were located was destroyed.

"Damned Mordaeans!"

Captain Bamu got up from the floor with a wretched look on his face.

Roaring in anger, he said, "Return fire! Give me a vicious return fire! Even if it means death, we must teach the Morda a painful lesson. Make sure they understand that the valiant and fearless Captain Bamu is not easily defeated!"

"Aye, Captain Bamu-sama!"

The main ship's multiple control gunners, their scalps tingling as they manned the few ship's cannons that had not yet been destroyed, fired a thick beam towards Fonze's fleet.

This 10,000 meter class heavy starship.

It was loaded with all large, or even heavy, high-energy particle cannons.

A single cannon would be able to destroy one of Fangze's smaller frigates.

Even if it only grazed, the small frigate would lose its ability to fight.

The attack from this main ship also caused Fang Ze to lose several small frigates once again, and another over a thousand number of starship soldiers died on the spot.

Seeing this scene.

Captain Bamu instantly laughed in mad fury.

"See?"

"Weak Mordaeans, this is the counterattack from Captain Bamu! Soon, the Starfleet of my Black Lizard Star Pirates will make a comeback!"

"The planet Morda will be turned into a death star in a war of revenge for the Krulu!"

Captain Bamu's maniacal laughter rang out over the entire fleet's communication devices.

For a moment, the Lizardman fleet's morale was boosted.

The counter-attacking cannon fire intensified.

...

"Captain Bamu's gone mad!"

"Yes, but we can't go crazy!"

"The fleet has suffered heavy losses, and even if we make it back to headquarters alive, Captain Bamu is still dead. But we are different, we follow orders, and after surrendering we have hope of surviving!"

"Even if we are escorted to mining, it's better than dying here!"

"At least we're still alive!"

"Gentlemen, vote! The main ship won't last long under the barrage of the Morda civilization fleet, so if you don't want to die, you must make a decision before it's too late!"

"I agree with your thoughts!"

"Seconded!"

The group of lizardman officers looked at each other for a few moments.

And then actually took out the energy short spear pinned to their waist at the same time and shot the lizardmen warriors inside the command module.

These lizardmen warriors were the guards loyal to Captain Bamu.

Immediately after that, they killed the other Lizardmen starship soldiers in the command module.

Only Captain Bamu was left alone, sitting in the fleet commander's chair.

Dazed and dumbfounded.

"Damn it, what are you guys doing?"

"Surrender, Captain Bamu, we don't want to follow this main ship to its grave!"

"I will never surrender!"

"Really stubborn!"

A lizardman officer said with an expressionless face, "Taking you out would give us the authority to order the fleet to surrender as well, only then there would be no scapegoat!"

"Captain Bamu, we're not like you!"

"We still have a chance to make it back to Solidus alive."

"If you don't agree to surrender and become a scapegoat. Then the family you left behind on Soledad will not be spared from dying in an accident!"

"Damned betrayer!"

Captain Bamu roared at them, "Even if I surrender, the headquarters will still not spare my family!"

The lizardman officer shook his head, "You're the fleet commander, HQ won't execute your family easily as long as you die in a Mordaean prison, star pirates need cohesion too."

Hearing those words.

Captain Bamu fell silent at once.

For he knew that the Betrayer was right!

...

Under the threat of a group of lizardman officers with short energy pistols.

With a sullen face, Captain Bamu opened his comm unit and relayed his orders to the fleet.

"This is Captain Bamu, I order all starships to extinguish their engines, close the hatches of their guns, and forbid anyone from attacking any more Mordaean starships!"

"This war, it's over!"

With those words.

Captain Bamu dropped into his chair in dismay.

The eyes gradually became dull.
