5372 The Phoenix

The Third Armada may have won a clean victory without suffering any significant losses, but the outcome was not entirely ideal.

Capturing the aliens yielded much greater rewards than killing them outright.

Any ancient phase whale possessed a mountain of knowledge and secrets.

Red humanity may have gathered a lot of intelligence on their alien adversaries, but the mechers and fleeters had only been able to penetrate the lower and middle layers of the galactic alien community.

It was far harder for them to infiltrate the upper layers of this society and gain access to the true secrets being discussed at the top level!

The mechers and the fleeters had already suffered the consequences of failing to gather critical high-level intelligence.

If they managed to discover the Red Cabal's ploy to activate its Great Refuge Plan so soon, humanity would have been able to take actions to prevent humanity from getting split into two branches!
