The strong radiation and plasma storms in the Stellar Explosion Zone were expanding outward at the speed of light and gradually weakening. The trapped Compound Eye Fleet had to travel more than seven light-years away from the epicenter to escape the coverage of the explosion's shockwaves and enable limited curvilinear flight.
Therefore, aside from a few scattered ships desperately breaking through, the majority of the Compound Eye Army's military strength would take at least seven years to begin a large-scale breakout.
The human fleet had ample time to reorganize and form a surrounding circle, centered around fast medium-sized battleships with high mobility and numerous other ships with ordinary mobility.
Austin Camp, who had already proven himself, received the highest authority and became the overall commander of the Stellar Explosion Zone.
