"Cast, surrendered?"
"Yes, this is an order from Captain Bamu himself!"
"Shut down the starship engines, all people leave their operational posts immediately, and the gun controllers are not allowed to attack the Morda's starships again ..."
"The war is over!"
Shortly after Captain Bamu's order was conveyed.
Within the fleet camp of the Black Lizard Star Pirates, a single starship shut down its engines, all of the ship's cannons retracted back into the hull's holds, and the shipboard aircraft that roamed the battlefield returned.
This interstellar war.
It ended with the defeat and surrender of the Black Lizard Interstellar Pirates!
"The battle was lost after all!"
"We lost more than half the number of starships, it's pointless to fight any longer, it's just a matter of losing more starships and dying."
"Captain Bamu must have been under tremendous pressure before he was forced to choose to surrender!"
"The captain has made a wise decision!"
After surrendering, many of the lizardmen breathed a sigh of relief.
Obviously, they didn't want to die on the battlefield either.
Thankfully, Captain Bamu didn't die to the end and chose to surrender, which was good news.
At least, they, the ordinary starship soldiers, didn't have to take the blame.
Even if they were lucky enough to be ransomed back by the headquarters for a high ransom, they would not be punished, after all, they were just soldiers following Captain Bamu's orders.
Whether they lost the battle or surrendered.
The responsibility would all be concentrated on Captain Bamu alone.
He carried it all alone!
Of course there were some diehard Lizardmen who wouldn't surrender and attempted to resist regaining control of the starship, but in the end, the minority obeyed the majority and were soon disarmed and imprisoned.
Eventually, all the Lizardmen starships extinguished their engines.
Awaiting the surrender of the Mordae.
...
"Captain Hart, all enemy warships are out of fire and have abandoned the attack!"
Inside the command module of the Predator III transport.
A starship soldier shouted in surprise, reporting to Captain Hart about the anomaly in the Lizardman fleet.
"The Lizardmen are surrendering?"
Captain Hart froze for a moment.
Not long ago, he had summoned the Lizardman fleet and demanded that the Lizardmen give up their stubborn resistance, yet it was rejected by that Captain Bamu in a very angry and decisive manner.
After that, the Lizardmen fleet had even launched an even sharper counterattack.
It had cost his fleet a lot of money.
However it didn't take long before the Lizardmen decisively chose to surrender again.
This left Captain Hart somewhat confused about the Lizardmen's operation.
Just a moment ago, he had all but made up his mind to destroy the Lizardmen's main ship.
"Anyway, it's good news that the Lizardmen have surrendered after all!"
Captain Hart didn't think any more about it.
The Lizardman fleet had shut down all starship engines, retrieved their ship's guns, and their shipboard fighters.
This was clearly not a fake surrender.
For the time it took to re-engine was enough time for his fleet to blow up all of the Lizardmen's starships.
This time.
A starship soldier reported that the Lizardmen's main ship wanted to establish communication with them.
"Connect the communication signal!"
Soon, the image of the Lizardmen's main ship's command module appeared on the big screen.
Captain Hart was met with the blear-eyed Captain Bamu, a group of lizardman officers, and the lizardman corpses littering the command bay.
He instantly understood why Captain Bamu had suddenly surrendered.
Apparently, Captain Bamu had been taken hostage by his men.
He had to order a surrender.
Captain Bamu said with an expressionless face, "The victory in this interstellar war belongs to the Mordae! The terms of our surrender are that the Morda shall not violently abuse or brutally kill our soldiers, and shall not prevent the headquarters of my Black Lizard Star Pirates from redeeming our starship as well as our soldiers ..."
After hearing Captain Bamu's terms of surrender.
Captain Hart, however, simply said calmly, "We will solemnly consider your conditions and give you the treatment you deserve as captives, but the decision on everything comes down to my Lord Lords of the Morda Civilization!"
Captain Bamu didn't say anything more either.
Surrendering meant their freedom was not under their control.
Even if the Morda killed them clean, the most they could do was curse a few times before they died.
After ending the communication.
Captain Hart ordered the fleet to keep a close watch on the Lizardmen's starships.
Also clean up the battlefield and clear the wreckage of the starships floating on the battlefield.
At the same time, he also sent the news of the Lizardmen fleet's surrender to the Capone Star Communication Station and informed Fang Ze.
Fang Ze, who received this news, also let out a long sigh of relief.
His inner heart followed the uplifting.
To him, the victory of this war was a turning point for the Morda civilization.
It was no longer possible for the Black Lizard Interstellar Pirates to check and balance the Morda Civilization.
Because the Black Lizard Star Pirates were now left with only two fully-formed star fleets, it was impossible to send all of their warships over for revenge.
Moreover, even if those Lizardmen were crazy enough to throw their weight around, he was still confident that he would be able to win again.
The reason was simple.
Because of the transport on the lizardmen.
Carrying up to three billion tons of alloy resources, and fifty million standard units of energy blocks.
He could build more starships.
The next interstellar war would be won more easily by his fleet.
Fang Ze said, "Captain Hart, report the fleet's losses!"
Captain Hart said with a heavy expression, "Lord Lord, we lost eighty-nine starships in this war, sixty-two more starships had varying degrees of damage, starship soldiers suffered nearly fifty thousand casualties, and the fleet was completely wiped out!"
After hearing Captain Hart's report.
Especially the fifty thousand starship soldiers' casualties caused Fang Ze's heart to jerk a few times.
The loss of starships was secondary.
With the help of the Lordship Talent, as long as he had the resources, he could create starships ten, a hundred, or even a thousand times the size.
But those starship soldiers who were loyal to him had no way to be resurrected.
Fifty thousand casualties in numbers!
It was terrifying!
You know the total number of starship soldiers involved in this war is only 100,000.
Half of them died in a single battle.
For a Morda civilization with a population of just under 50 million.
It was a crushing blow.
Fang Ze said, "The starship soldiers who participated in the war were the ones I watched grow up step by step, and there were many of them I had met. I didn't expect that I brought 100,000 people, but half of them were buried in this battlefield forever!"
"There is no need to grieve, Lord Lords."
Captain Hart said, "Their sacrifice was worth it, and the Morda civilization has a brighter future!"
Fang Ze nodded slightly and said, "Captain Hart, order the collection of the remains of the soldiers on the battlefield and bring them back to Morda Star for burial."
"As ordered!"
Captain Hart inquired, "Lord Lord, what should we do with the surrendered Lizardman starships?"
Fang Ze, on the other hand, turned his head to look at the group of Gautenkas chiefs behind him and said, "I am going to establish a military base on your Capone Star for the defense of the surrounding star fields, do you have no problem with that?"
"We are very honored to be able to receive shelter from the Lord Lord!"
The Gautenkas' chiefs took a stand one after another.
Even if they had an opinion, they didn't dare to mention it.
They could tell that Fang Ze was not in a good mood right now.
In case they angered Fang Ze and ordered the fleet to slaughter them on Capone Star, where could they go to talk sense?
Furthermore, with the strength of their civilization, there was no way to stop Fang Ze from building a military base on their planet.
Since they could not resist, they might as well accept it gladly.
This way, they could still get a 'friendly' treatment.
"The Gotenkas are a kind civilization!"
Fonze nodded and said to Captain Hart, "You heard everything? Escort the captured starships to Capone's Star, send all the lizardmen on the starships, except for the engineers, to the mines, and kill those who resist on the spot!"
"As you command, my Lord!"
