Chapter 684: Risk That Must Be Taken

Angie Prairie completely believed it and Dong Fang basically believed it, but he still did not agree with Chu Nan’s thoughts.

“Even if you’re stronger than ordinary Void Break Martial Artists now, you’re not a Heaven Control expert in the end. Even if you can be useful in the battle of the cosmic fleet, it’s limited. I can’t let you take this risk.”

After saying that, he did not give Chu Nan any chance to refute and turned to leave.

Chu Nan frowned and moved his feet. He wanted to chase after him, but he was stopped by Uncle Mu Luo.

“Don’t make things difficult for him.” Uncle Mu Luo looked at Chu Nan and said sincerely, “Dong Fang has always treated you as his best friend. Otherwise, when your family was threatened, he wouldn’t have directly sent me and Costa over. He doesn’t want you to be in danger now, so it’s best for you to listen to his arrangements.”

“But…”

“Don’t worry. He’s right. If there’s really no other way, we can choose to directly surrender. Our company has actually encountered many such things. With his experience in this aspect, he can deal with it.”

Seeing that Uncle Mu Luo’s attitude was firm and he spoke a lot in an extremely rare manner, Chu Nan could only stop.

Although he was worried about Dong Fang, he had to admit that Uncle Mu Luo was right.

As the top company in the Earth Federation and a top-notch security company in several countries outside the Orion Arm, the Seres Security Company had interacted with the cosmic pirates many times and had clearly encountered many similar situations. Therefore, Dong Fang was confident in what he had said just now.

“Let’s listen to his arrangements.” Angie Prairie also pulled Chu Nan’s arm, “We have to believe in Dong Fang’s professionalism in this aspect. If he’s captured and those cosmic pirates are unwilling to let him go, I’ll definitely ask Master to save him.”

Chu Nan glanced at Angie Prairie and thought to himself that Supremacy Oville was not back yet and his life and death were unknown. How could he expect her to save Dong Fang?

In the end, if not for the other party luring Supremacy Oville away, the situation on Planet Leppler would not have developed to this point.

Of course, he could only think about this in his mind.

Angie Prairie had absolute confidence in Supremacy Oville, so Chu Nan would not ask for trouble.

He silently watched as Dong Fang disappeared from the main control room. After a while, a small spaceship flew out from the bottom of the spaceship and towards the two fleets in the battle. Chu Nan suddenly asked, “Since you can choose to surrender, why must Dong Fang go? He can completely let Uncle Mueller and the others determine it themselves.”

Uncle Mu Luo was stunned, then sighed and replied, “He’s the highest responsibility of our company in this Star Field. Unless he’s present, no one has the qualifications to give the order to directly surrender.”

Chu Nan could only be silent.

This might be the risk and price Dong Fang had to pay if he wanted to become a higher-up of the Seres Security Company.

“Alright, let’s go.”

Uncle Mu Luo turned around and ordered. The spaceship they were on circled slightly to avoid the intense battle and quickly flew towards the stargate.

As Chu Nan observed through the test screen, he looked at the distant sky through the window of the spaceship and paid close attention to the situation on the battlefield.

In fact, the battle between the current space fleets looked very boring to outsiders. It was nothing more than various particle beams and missiles flying around, and then they always smashed into the energy shield of the other party’s battleship, splashing the light reflected by the shield. Apart from that, there was not much reaction.

There were not many opportunities to directly destroy the battleship, because when they sensed that the energy shield was about to collapse, the battleship would always leave the battlefield in advance or hide in the fleet and use the energy shield of its companions to block the attack.

Therefore, generally speaking, unless one party was far stronger than the other and easily completed the firepower suppression, even if they were defeated, the defeated party could usually retreat safely.

In the vast sea of stars, it was very difficult to catch up to the enemy and completely eliminate him with the speed of space travel.

To the cosmic fleet, chasing the enemy out of this Star Field and ensuring their control of the universe was considered completing their mission.

In the current situation, the other party’s goal was clearly to seal off the path of the Seres Security Company’s fleet to the stargate and leave. They were not allowed to leave this Star Field, so they only needed to complete the suppression in terms of firepower.

When the other cosmic pirate fleet hired by the Sand Eagle arrived, or when the Heaven Control Martial Artist, Grek, arrived, he could easily break through the space fleet of the Seres Security Company and ensure that they could not fight back.

Chu Nan only paid attention to it for a moment before immediately confirming that Dong Fang was not joking when he said “choose to surrender”.

This time, the space fleet sent by the Seres Security Company to protect the safety of the Earth Federation’s caravan was only an ordinary fleet. It had a total of 13 various space battleships, and more than half of them were medium and small-sized. There were only three mere Stellar-Grade battleships in the formation.

On the other hand, although the cosmic pirate fleet opposite looked a little chaotic and various different types of battleships were mixed together, the degree of training and cooperation were clearly inferior to the Seres Security Company’s fleet. However, they had a large number. At a glance, there were nearly a hundred.

Under such an absolute numerical advantage, no matter how much combat strength the Seres Security Company’s fleet could unleash, it was impossible to win.

The battle between the space fleets depended on the attack power and strength of the energy shields of both sides.

When numbers overwhelmed, tactics, cooperation, and other things were useless.

“Damn, Sand Eagle’s people are really willing to spend money. Not only did they invite a Star-Grade Martial Artist, they even hired so many cosmic pirates. Isn’t that guy, Grek, afraid that he won’t be able to clean up after this?”

Chu Nan cursed in his mind. At the same time, he prayed that Dong Fang would choose to surrender as soon as possible after taking over the command of the space fleet from Uncle Mueller.

Now that it was obvious that he could not defeat him, there was no need to continue fighting desperately.

Those cosmic pirates were clearly here for money. Chu Nan did not believe that the Sand Eagle people really had any deep hatred for them and had to kill them.

In the end, what Sand Eagle wanted to fight for was clearly only control of Planet Leppler. There was no need to argue with them.

Even now, Chu Nan did not understand why.

Why did that guy, Grek, refuse to let go of the Seres Security Company? If he let them retreat, wouldn’t it be more beneficial for him to let these cosmic pirates go to Planet Leppler to gain control?

It could not be just because he wanted to kill him and Angie Prairie…

Just as Chu Nan was thinking about these problems, the battle situation in the distant space suddenly changed shockingly.
