The Shorty kept watching the face of the commander beside him, finally realizing that the commander was already afraid.

Shorty didn’t blame him. No matter who it was, anyone would feel afraid after facing that man, who was like a monster.

"You’ve seen it now," Shorty asked in a low voice, "Do you have any good ideas?"

The commander shook his head with a bitter smile, not wanting to deceive his superior before him, he replied with an unrelated question, "I’m curious, how did you provoke such an opponent?"

"So, you don’t have any good ideas?" Shorty asked another unrelated question.

"None," the commander answered frankly, "You’ve seen it, such a person," he swallowed dryly, "Is he still a human?"

He counter-questioned Shorty.

Shorty nodded and shook his head again.

The commander did not understand what Shorty’s gesture meant but continued speaking regardless.

"Even if he is human, he’s someone with superior abilities, whereas my men and I are only considered strong among ordinary people, yet ultimately, we are just humans.

The commander smiled bitterly again: We are not much different from the bodyguards of the big boss, but as you’ve seen, those guards were powerless against him, easily manipulated at his whim.

So, according to you, we should just sit here and wait for these three to settle us?" Shorty’s tone was indifferent.

The commander certainly heard the dissatisfaction in Shorty’s tone and quickly denied it.

No, no, not as you said," The commander paused, thinking that honesty was best, "Even though everyone at this base combined is no match for those three aliens, we will do our utmost to guarantee your safety, rest assured about that.

Shorty scoffed: "You can’t even beat them, so how will you protect me?"

My point is, before the three arrive, you must again escape this Nameless Planet.

The commander looked at Shorty, his tone sincere: "All you need is to avoid them during this period. They come from an Extraterrestrial Planet and won’t stay long on Delmar Planet. Once they leave, you can return to continue with your life.

And after I escape, you don’t need to fight the three aliens, you might even become friends, right?" Shorty ignored the commander’s goodwill, cynically retorting.

No," the commander stared into Shorty’s eyes, "I assure you on my honor that we absolutely won’t do such a thing.

Moreover, we will take the initiative to attack them!

Regardless of the reason, whether to protect you or to defend this satellite, it’s our mission."

In Shorty’s hiding place, Shorty and the highest-ranked commander here were discussing how to deal with their soon-to-arrive enemies.

Those three alien individuals were highly capable and ruthless, causing great concern for the commander here.

After reading the intelligence timely sent from the Capital City, he deeply felt that these three were definitely not something the hundred or so personnel here could handle.

Upon serious contemplation, he concluded that facing these three directly in battle would require a miracle, otherwise, they stood no chance of victory.

And miracles, ha, probably wouldn’t come to them.

The only solution now was to attack before these three aliens landed, striving to annihilate them in their spaceship while still in space.

The commander simultaneously suggested that it would be best for Shorty not to stay but to continue fleeing across other planets to avoid capture by the three.

Besides, as non-Delmar star system people, they wouldn’t stay here for an extended period.

They surely wouldn’t wait here forever for Shorty.

And once Shorty left here and wandered around the cosmos, with the universe’s vastness, the three wouldn’t possibly catch him.

Indeed, the commander’s suggestion was very reasonable and unbiased.

Yet Shorty didn’t heed his advice.

Shorty projected his own dark thoughts onto others, believing they were likeminded.

He suspected the commander of self-interest, thinking that if he left, the commander might collude with the three aliens or even betray him.

So after hearing the commander’s suggestion, he was doubtful.

Finally, he decided not to leave temporarily, choosing to wait until the battle’s outcome became clear before making plans.

Despite the commander’s repeated advice to act before the three arrived, seizing the best opportunity now, Shorty firmly refused.

The conversation reached this stage, but Shorty wouldn’t listen, so the commander sighed heavily and went to attend to his duties.

Almost at Shorty’s hideout, "seeing the red dot on the galaxy map coming closer and closer, Ba Lvluo mentioned her teacher and Yanran.

Got it." Yanran sat in the gunner’s seat, preparing.

With her hands skillfully maneuvering on the console, prompt sounds continually rang out.

Main energy charging complete, ready to fire at any time.

Energy Shield is fully activated.

DS offensive missiles are ready, prepared for launch at any time.

Lasers Two and Three are ready.

The patrol and guard mission spaceship assigned to space was slowly cruising, however, unlike Jiang Cheng and the others who were well-prepared, the people on the gunboat were complacent.

Despite the base’s commander instructing them to ascend and stay alert for potential incoming enemies, they didn’t genuinely take the commander’s words seriously.

Suddenly, a soldier monitoring the radar stood up: "An unidentified spacecraft has entered our defense perimeter.

The gunboat immediately bustled, and the officer took several strides toward the radar, pulling aside those in front: "Get aside! Return to your combat positions!

After checking the rapidly approaching flying object on the radar, the captain ordered: "Everyone, prepare for combat.

Those on duty, report the preparation status of the guns. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝙚𝔀𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝒐𝒎

A soldier, eyes fixed on the console, loudly reported: "The main cannon is ready, and all auxiliary cannons are in alert status.

Another soldier followed up: The gunboat’s defenses are fully activated, and reserve energy is ample.

Good, alright!" The captain nodded, continuing to ask: "Immediately contact the second gunboat, report the situation here to the base. Immediately!

The crew under his command started bustling with activity.

The captain stared at the radar, eyes heavy with seriousness, having already received orders from the commander at the base, pointing out the fierce nature of the incoming enemy, requiring serious handling.
