The Defeated Captain Heads towards the Helkan Fleet Alone

A staff officer threatened Jack.

"Captain Jack, I hope that when you go to the Helkan fleet, no matter what the other side offers, you will accept it as long as it's not too much. When you're angry, think of your wife and family in the distance. Now that the fleet is under our control, you're just a puppet. It's best to put down your pathetic ego while you can."

Jack's eyebrows twitched.

These despicable traitors. If the Bhutlerian S Battleship Fleet had not been defeated in this battle, they would not have given him orders.

It was then that Jack understood. These men were spies who had been bribed by the higher-ups of Planet Bhutler to keep an eye on him. Thus, they would not obey his orders at critical moments.

Those staff officers were eager for Jack to negotiate with the Helkan fleet.

In any case, after being redeemed by the Bhutlerian headquarters, Jack would be punished.

They had already completed their duty.

They had all been bribed by the upper echelons of Planet Bhutler.

If they were to report that there was an energy diamond on Planet Terra, they might even receive a reward from the upper echelons of Planet Bhutler.

As long as they could endure the humiliation from the Helka civilization for a period of time, they would be able to return to Planet Bhutler to enjoy their rewards.

That way, they wouldn't have to follow the stubborn Jack anymore.

Thus, everyone was in a rather good mood.

Meanwhile, Jack suppressed his anger and said politely.

"Yes, I understand."

Then, Captain Jack said nothing else.

After all, he had no choice now.

After he was defeated, he would be sent to the military court when he returned to Planet Bhutler. This time, he had caused great losses to Planet Bhutler and would definitely be hanged.

Once he had lost control of the main ship, it was impossible to die on the battlefield even if he wanted to.

He could only hope that after surrendering, Planet Helka would give him some time to escape with his family.

This negotiation was his only chance of survival.

Thus, Jack made up his mind that he had to secure this last chance.

Then, Jack's escape capsule flew out from the main ship of the Bhutlerian S Battleship Fleet and sailed slowly towards the Helkan fleet.

Meanwhile, Brian was waiting for Jack to come and negotiate while sitting in a luxurious chair in the command room of the Helkan fleet.

Number One was serving Brian at the side.

From time to time, she would feed a piece of fruit to Brian's mouth with her fork. She would even rub Brian's shoulders.

At that moment, Brian was relieved.

They had perfectly defeated the entire Bhutlerian S Battleship Fleet without any casualties or damage to his own battleships.

To Brian, this victory was the turning point of the Helka civilization.

After this, it would be unlikely for Planet Bhutler to restrict the development of Planet Helka.

In the past, Planet Bhutler could still use exploitation and oppression to control the people of Helka who were not very smart. Even if this was not successful, they could still use their interstellar fleet to suppress them.

But now…

One of the three full fleets from Planet Bhutler had been defeated by Brian.

Brian could estimate the strength of the other two full fleets based on the strength of the full S Battleship Fleet.

After this battle, Brian understood that as long as he did not actively provoke Planet Bhutler, the Helka civilization would not be in danger for the time being.

The remaining two full fleets from Planet Bhutler would not be able to defeat the Helkan fleet in the star territory where Planet Helka was located.

After all, the Helkan fleet had a total of 20 destruction-grade battleships, each of which could be used as the main ship of an entire interstellar fleet.

Moreover, the destruction-grade battleships were more than 20,000 meters long, and the weapons equipped on each battleship were far superior to the main ship from Planet Bhutler.

In terms of strength alone, even if Planet Bhutler had 20 full fleets, they would not be able to find trouble with the Helka civilization.

Putting aside the fact that the power of the Bhutlerian fleet was no match for that of the Helkan fleet in a direct confrontation, the Bhutler civilization could not even supply the energy that a fleet needed for long-distance expeditions.

Furthermore, the Helkan civilization had obtained a lot of resources from the full S Battleship Fleet this time. Thus, in the future, Brian would have even more interstellar battleships in his fleet.

Additionally, Planet Bhutler was still being watched by the Smonpabellen civilization. Thus, the fleets from the Bhutler civilization could only move around the vicinity of Planet Bhutler.

If they sent out all their fleets…

… it was very likely that by the time the fleets returned, the Bhutler civilization would have already been wiped out by the Smonpabellen civilization that was secretly monitoring them.

Thus, Brian believed that the current Planet Bhutler was no longer capable of resisting the Helka civilization.

And this was the truth.

The S Battleship Fleet from Planet Bhutler was mainly responsible for expeditions. They carried out some missions that were very far away from Planet Bhutler.

For example, they suppressed disobedient subsidiary planets and plundering the resources of other civilizations.

After the Bhutlerian S Battleship Fleet was defeated by the Helkan fleet…

… Planet Bhutler lost their important expedition force.

Even if they successfully redeemed the S Battleship Fleet, they would have to pay a painful price.

No matter what choice the Bhutler civilization made, the strength of the Bhutler civilization would fall drastically. Their civilization level might even fall to the level they had reached several hundred years ago.

It could be said that the crisis that Brian faced from the Bhutler civilization was temporarily resolved.

Before long, Jack was escorted to the command room where Brian was by an armed interstellar battleship soldier.

After escorting Jack, the soldier left the command room.

Brian glanced at Jack. Then, he ignored Jack and left him alone.

Jack did not dare to speak and stood cautiously against the wall.

Instead, Brian asked Number Two a question.

"Number Two, how are the fleet losses this time?"

Number Two replied to him excitedly.

"Reporting to the Overlord, in this war, we have suffered zero casualties. Meanwhile, the Snow Eagle mechas, aircraft carriers, and other weapons and equipment were not damaged either. However, this time, we spent 980,000 tons of energy crystals playing soccer with Captain Ryan."

After listening to Number Two's report…

Brian's heart violently twitched.

He did not expect that the "specific method" that Bob had mentioned would cost nearly a million tons of energy crystals.

Although these energy crystals could be replenished with the resources seized from the S Battleship Fleet, Brian still found it unacceptable.

The destruction-grade battleship truly consumed a lot of energy.

Just the time it took to activate the protective shield and play a football match in space was enough to use nearly a million tons of energy crystals.

It had to be known that before they discovered a method to create energy crystals, these energy crystals were completely non-renewable.

Every time he used the energy crystals, his supply would be depleted.

They could only be obtained through mining or interstellar plundering.

However, they had spent nearly a million tons of energy crystals on Jack, a person whom Brian did not know had any value or not.

Brian felt that he had bragged too much.

He had only casually told Bob that they had enough resources at the moment.

Brian had the "Construction Specialization" talent and could instantly convert resources into building or weapons.

Thus, to Brian, resources were equivalent to combat power.
