Facing an overwhelming enemy, the commander of the escort fleet had no choice but to surrender. Since the commander also thought the enemy was the Air Pirate Group, in his view, as long as they surrendered and handed over the merchant convoy's cargo to the opponent, the matter would be settled. And as long as they could safely return to the battle zone, wouldn't there be plenty of opportunities to reclaim their factories?
Therefore, upon realizing that victory was impossible, especially after seeing the Void Magic Warriors dispatched by Rocky's side, the commander of the escort fleet decisively chose to surrender.
However, Rocky did not give him that opportunity!
Under his command, the fleet continued to advance, bombarding constantly during the process, clearly not intending to accept any surrender.
