Hale hurried over, and by the time he explained the situation, it was already the afternoon.
Over at Treasure Harbor, Nizi was waiting for Rofuss's orders.
Since the Liangxia Navy hadn't fired the first shot, Nizi could only issue orders to the front-line troops after receiving permission from Rofuss.
Strictly speaking, it was actually Rofuss who issued the order to start the war.
From a military perspective, this wasn't a difficult decision to make.
The 42nd Special Mixed Fleet was there, and the fighters from the 21st Special Mixed Fleet had already appeared in the battlefield area—they must be nearby as well. The 43rd Special Mixed Fleet was also not far away, either behind the 42nd Special Mixed Fleet, to the south, or in the southwest direction.
If they could annihilate the 21st Special Mixed Fleet in one fell swoop, there was a great chance of destroying the other two as well.
Expanding the search range, they might even find the fourth Special Mixed Fleet.
