Li Yao secretly frowned. "That's rather a strong word. Are the officers of the Burning Prairie Fleet all so petty and vengeful?"
"Not exactly. It is rather complicated," Tang Dingyuan said. "The Burning Prairie Fleet was the best troop of the best troops. The commanders of the fleet always thought highly of themselves and did not bother to laugh at the miscellaneous troops that had just been jumbled together. At that time, there were too many of such troops that were founded with the old, forsaken starships. But the Burning Prairie Fleet never called any of them a 'garbage fleet'.
"They called Bai Xingjian's fleet 'garbage' not just because of their outdated equipment and their ragged starships that were no better than wasted iron. It was more because of the officers and sailors under Bai Xingjian's command."
"Oh?" Li Yao blinked and asked, "What's special about Bai Xingjian's officers and sailors?"
