In the vast expanse of space, Tom's fleet decelerated while rapidly approaching the Second Planet.
He clearly saw that during this period, the defense fleets of the First, Second, and Third Planets remained dutifully around their respective planets, showing no signs of initiating an attack.
This made Tom sigh softly.
If the Havilah Civilization's fleet had taken the initiative to engage him in an open battle far from the planets, perhaps his weaknesses could have been somewhat compensated.
After all, once away from the planets, the Havilah Civilization's fleet's supply would inevitably be somewhat weakened. At the same time, he might even be able to raid their supply points and seize some of their materials to alleviate his own shortage of resources.
This was also one of Tom's continuous objectives in his persistent verbal attacks.
But now, it seemed this strategy had failed.
