Xiong Lei stood in a tower within the fortress, holding a telescope, watching through a small window the battle encircling those two Fury Flame Interstellar Warriors, with his palms sweating in tension.
That battle, although small in scale, was almost critically important to the success or failure of the hundreds of thousands he led.
On planet Yuehe VII.3, the option of 'losing the land while keeping the people' hardly exists. Each situation needs specific analysis, but the survival of this planet fundamentally depends on orbital defense. Otherwise, when the enemy's superior navy unleashes ground bombardment without restraint, it would be nearly impossible to defend from the front, forcing a shift to guerrilla warfare by breaking into small units.
That might have some effect, but in a broader sense of the battlefield, it means the entire planet falls.
