When Felly took a huge risk and split the enemy's fleet in two, the enemy made the most correct and decisive decision: to continue their charge towards the Thunderhawk, striving to sink it in the shortest possible time!
This decision was indeed correct. Although the entire fleet was divided, there were still five reconnaissance ships escorting the Baron Number around it. In contrast, there were hardly any ships left around the Thunderhawk, and the few reconnaissance ships that were there were all outdated first-generation models, practically useless in such intense combat.
At the same time, in terms of individual combat capabilities, although both the Baron Number and the Thunderhawk were flagships, the Baron Number had somewhat more powerful firepower. Each of its five main cannons outmatched those of the Thunderhawk, so continuing to execute the previous strategic objective to sink the Thunderhawk was undoubtedly the right choice.
