As one of the backers of the parliament's Hawk Faction, the direction of public opinion was gradually leaning towards the Spirit Pagoda. On the other hand, the frontline military soldiers had no choice but to temporarily fall back as they truly could not wage the war. This was due to the judgment that if both sides were to engage in active attacks, the federal fleet too would be at a loss. They could possibly end up being completely defeated in the end without adequate supplies and due to endless incoming soldiers from the Star Luo Empire and the Dou Spirit Empire.
Despite the federation's power, they could not withstand the loss of their three great fleets. So they could only temporarily fall back after careful consideration.
