Before the Galactic Defense Army attacked the capital, several high-ranking lords had a discussion with Kirk in the conference room here.
A high-ranking lord walked over and sat down opposite Kirk. His name was Pirko.
Pirko said to Kirk, "Our defenses are being broken. Sir Kirk, what are your plans for the people on our home planet?"
Kirk diverted his attention from the battle on the front line.
Although he is a high-ranking lord who coordinates the government work of the current Moranok Interstellar Lordship, he is not very good at commanding troops and can only make some general arrangements.
Kirk looked at Pirko across from him, then glanced at the two or three high-ranking lords who followed him. After a moment of thought, he said, "To be honest, I haven't thought of a better arrangement for the people yet."
"I arranged the fleet of Danwa's first line of defense, and it is still resisting the attack of the Yalu Alliance fleet."
"I've also arranged for ambassadors to seek assistance from other civilizations, but it seems no civilization is willing to lend a hand at this time. I'm afraid we won't be able to hold out until then."
"For the people...sigh."
Kirk sighed deeply. "I certainly ignored them," he said.
"So, Pierco, do you have any plans to tell me?"
Kirk looked at Pirko seriously.
Several high-ranking lords around Pirko looked at each other and finally signaled Pirko to speak.
After gathering his thoughts, Pirko spoke, "Kirk, after the deaths of Anderson and Guy, you have indeed been a qualified ruler. You have also made many preparations. Perhaps our civilization will be able to take root again with the Wandering Fleet."
"But life is always like this. We are not plants. Every life of the Nok people is alive."
"Perhaps the Moranok Interstellar Lord State will take root again on a planet in the future, and perhaps they will become a great civilization."
"But what about the lives of the people on our home planet and the remaining life planets in our country?"
"Even if one day Moranok becomes great again, these lives have already been lost."
Kirk was silent for a moment after hearing this. His adjutant flew into a rage and instantly drew his weapon, pointing it at Pirko: "How dare you!"
"You want to surrender to the enemy!?"
Pirko and several high-ranking lords around him were not panicked. They didn't even bring guards with them when they came here, and it was obvious that they were not afraid.
Pirko looked up at Kirk's adjutant and said calmly, "I didn't come here for my own life. I came here for the billions of lives on other planets with life on our home planet."
"If you kill me, Moranok can repel the Galactic Defense Army and their space fleet, and then he can do whatever he wants with us."
The adjutant still held his weapon, as if he hadn't heard Pierco's explanation at all.
But Kirk sighed and said, "Put down your weapons. Pirko and the others have no intention of surrendering to the enemy."
The adjutant and the surrounding guards then put down their weapons.
Kirk asked Pierco, "So what do you want to do?"
Pirko said frankly: "Let me organize the surrender."
The adjutant tried to draw his weapon again, but Kirk stopped him with a gesture of his hand.
Kirk said, "You should know that even if we order surrender, there will be many officers and soldiers who will fight to the last moment."
"You will also know that you will be cursed among the Nok people from now on. Perhaps even until death, you will never be able to wash away this sin."
Peart nodded and said, "Of course I know all this, and I'm mentally prepared."
"I am doing this for the lives of tens of billions of people in the Nok tribe, and also for myself."
"After my organization surrenders, I will definitely become an important ally in the defense of the Galaxy, taking your place as the ruler of the Nok tribe, even if it's just a puppet ruler."
Kirk asked seriously, "Is it worth it?"
Pirko also answered seriously: "It's worth it!"
Kirk then asked, "Even if you surrender, how can you guarantee that the Galactic Defense will keep so many of our Nokk alive and safe?"
Pirko smiled and said, "I can't guarantee it, but I can try my best to work in this direction."
"From previous intelligence data, we know that after the Dalhash Hegemony was conquered by the Galactic Defense, they did not massacre the planets with life. Instead, they maintained social stability."
"Galactic defense only requires resources, not murder."
"If I had allowed each planet to serve the defense of the galaxy, then I think the vast majority of the Nok people would still be alive."
Kirk's adjutant was furious: "But they have lost their honor and dignity. From now on, the Nok people have another exploiting race on their heads!"
Pirko laughed and said, "What else? Will the death of these people bring dignity and honor?"
"As for having another exploitative race above us, that's nothing. Aren't we, the families of high-ranking lords and the various nobles, also a class that exploits them?"
"For ordinary Nok people, staying alive is more important."
Kirk interrupted the adjutant and said to Pirko, "You have a point, but I don't really want to do this."
"I will not surrender either. I will lead the troops willing to fight to the last moment!"
Pirko sighed and said, "Why bother? We no longer have a fleet. How long can we resist relying solely on the army?"
Kirk smiled and said, "According to my prediction, the next offensive plan of the Galaxy Defense will be here."
"Before I die, I will have all my troops hold their ground and fight hard, killing as many enemy troops as possible and bringing glory to our Moranok Star Lord State."
"After I die, you can contact the Galactic Defense Department to discuss surrender."
"This time, I will use the lives of all the soldiers who dare to fight, and my own life, to fight for better treatment for the rest of the tribe..."
…
After spending half a year, the capital planet of Moranok was completely taken over.
The speed of the attack exceeded Li Xin's expectations and was much faster than expected.
The Moranok Interstellar Lordship State is not a highly centralized country. The ruling class in the country is the high-ranking lords of the Nok tribe.
Some high-ranking lords are willing to fight to the bitter end.
Some high-ranking lords chose to join the wandering fleet of the final plan and sail away with the wandering fleet.
Some high-ranking lords believed that they could submit to the Galactic Defense Company for the sake of their own rights and to prevent the Nok people from suffering more casualties.
Right and wrong can only be judged by future generations.
