The assault operation against the Teizene Fleet was ultimately decided by Xu Lanzhou, who chose to command in person. Despite her youth, Xu Lanzhou was still the only military general in the fleet with extensive experience in commanding large fleets. She possessed ample combat experience and a natural aptitude for warfare, and was greatly trusted by Bai Zhongqi.
If Xu Lanzhou decided to launch a fatal raid on Teizene, she needed a force powerful enough to shake the enemy. The Star Alliance currently had four strategic fleet groups; the first was stationed in the Sirius Galaxy, while Bai Zhongqi personally oversaw the fourth as a reserve force for the Star Alliance Universe Army. Xu Lanzhou was able to deploy more than four hundred warships from the second and third strategic fleet groups for this raid.
