After confirming again that Riskako, Steadman, Swan, Tosh and others were not seriously injured, Chang Wei felt relieved and continued to command the entire army to fight.
However, after the battle had been stalemated for a while, the opposing commander, realizing that the decapitation tactic had failed, sent a communication request.
Although Chang Wei was a little surprised, he still chose to open the video call.
Suddenly, the figure of the enemy commander appeared on the communication screen. He nodded slightly at Chang Wei with a serious expression and saluted.
Chang Wei immediately recognized the blue-skinned figure in front of him. Wasn't he the future Grand Marshal Sauron of the Empire? Could it be that all those brilliant tactics before were his work?
"As the leader of the rebels, your combat command abilities are truly outstanding. I deeply admire your strategic planning and decision-making at every step."
Although Chang Wei was somewhat surprised by the enemy commander's praise, he still responded with a smile: "Thank you for the compliment. We are just doing our best and just... hoping to win."
Zoro smiled and said, "No, your performance has exceeded our Empire's expectations. At least in my opinion, you are different from previous rebels. Not only have you demonstrated superb tactical skills and advanced ships, but you have also demonstrated your bravery and fearless determination. You may become a serious threat to the Empire!"
Chang Wei grinned and remained noncommittal: "That's right, this is the meaning of our revolution! Overthrowing the rule of the empire and establishing a new, more harmonious and prosperous order is the common desire and mission of our Rebel Alliance! We will not stop, and we cannot stop."
Zoro looked at Chang Wei and suddenly felt a sense of mutual respect: "We are both fleet commanders, just in different camps, fighting for our own goals. And right now, this battle has entered garbage time. Continuing will only waste the lives of soldiers. However, if they survive, they will obviously be more valuable in future battlefields."
"You mean a ceasefire? A mutual withdrawal from the battlefield?"
Zoro nodded in agreement. "This is the best advice at the moment. This battle has made us understand each other well enough. There is no point in continuing to fight. What do you think?"
Chang Wei looked at him and, in order to confirm his guess, asked, "What's your name?"
"My name is Zoro, a mere Commodore of the Imperial Navy. It is my honor to fight the leader of the rebels!"
Chang Wei couldn't help but smile and said, "Sauron, I accept your suggestion. Next time we meet, I might have to call you Marshal."
"Haha, I'll lend you my good wishes."
Soon, the fleets of both sides stopped chasing each other and began to disperse and retreat, slowly withdrawing from the battlefield.
The Rebel Alliance's first victory boosted the morale and confidence of countless revolutionary comrades, and the curtain on history gradually opened. It also foreshadowed the rise of the banner of resistance, and the spark of revolution began to burn across the empire.
