The entire Saleria Fleet was devoured by the bandit army. Fang Xiang had no choice but to compromise before the stubborn Fatty due to the current predicament of the Longbow Fleet. After all, her previous proposal was just a hopeful attempt, and with Fang Xiang's wisdom, she wouldn't refuse cooperation spitefully if she failed to secure her goals. In fact, she had already prepared herself to join the Leray Forces when Chekov presented the fleet modification plan.
However, Fang Xiang did not come out empty-handed. All these conditions were established based on one agreement—if after half a year, the Saleria Longbow Fleet discovers major strategic and ideological differences with the bandit army, the Saleria Fleet could choose to depart from the bandit army.
In Fang Xiang's view, half a year was just enough to complete the fleet modifications. Furthermore, this condition, without any evaluation standards, was almost entirely dependent on her whims, making it essentially unrestrained.
