It might sound rather unkind, but in reality, preserving a fleet consisting of hundreds of warships, including several main cruisers, was crucial for the upcoming defense battle at Jindi Star.
The battle for Jindi Star had already begun.
This time, Chen Haixu and a group of the Great Sages from the Sect of Mechanics didn't run away.
There was nowhere left to run.
Moreover, Jindi Star was not indefensible.
It was the stronghold of the Mingyang Sect, a bona fide Foundry World. Although the Mingyang Sect had dispatched a large number of their Protection Army to Frost Origin IV, that wasn't their entire reserve. On Jindi Star, there remained a huge number of the Protection Army, and even half of the Titan Legion.
Moreover, Jindi Star had a total population of thirty billion, providing ample manpower; around Jindi Star, there were several feudal worlds, or rather, Knight Worlds, guarding it.
