The sinking of his flagship threw Baron Wolin into complete disarray, and without further regard for whether Rocky continued to entangle him, he immediately returned to his fleet.
However, at this time, Rocky did not relentlessly pursue; although he was not one to easily let Baron Wolin escape, he also understood that if he continued to tangle with the enemy, they would truly be forced into a desperate fight. Hence, he too chose to return to his fleet.
The situation could now be said to be highly advantageous to Rocky; the destruction of "Baron Number" meant the enemy had lost their linchpin, and the remaining seven or eight reconnaissance ships could hardly cause any stir. On Rocky's side, the number of reconnaissance ships had also dwindled to seven or eight, but two large warships remained intact and preserved considerable combat capacity.
This, in fact, represented Rocky's victory in this space battle!
