However, the final result was beyond everyone's expectations: the Imperial fleet was disbanded again after a period of mass assembly. After the pirate in charge of keeping an eye informed the Port of the Dead in a look of confusion, the Port of the Dead exploded.

The Harbor of the Dead Governing Council has not yet given an official message, but the pirates below are starting to get ready to move: they have been in the Harbor of the Dead for a month, and many of them have already bottomed out their savings, and if they don't go out and do something, they will start to go hungry. They are pirates and mercenaries, not regular troops, and if their men are hungry, they will break up the gang at least with money or directly rebel, which is not a trivial matter.

Yang Yi also didn't know the situation, and naturally there would be no news from the imperial side, and A1 couldn't analyze the effective results because of the lack of intelligence.

In the increasingly restless atmosphere of the Port of the Dead, the day passed slowly. It wasn't until the early hours of the next morning that Yang Yi received confidential information from the Governing Council to various mid- and high-level pirates, detailing the reason for the Empire's problematic withdrawal: Mengsk called off the entire operation at the last minute before the operation began.

The Governing Council had learned from the inside that the Führer had personally ordered the cancellation of the operation two hours after the pirates in charge of the stalking had informed them of the news. They have been analyzing why the Führer suddenly ordered the operation to be cancelled and asked the inside to get more information as soon as possible. It wasn't until half an hour ago that they got more detailed information from the insiders.

The specific influencing factors are very complex, and the management committee has indicated that a detailed report will be issued to them later. To put it simply, the Führer decided that the Reich could no longer afford the battle plan, code-named Operation Severed Neck.

The Empire has already expended most of its energy in the war against the Insects and the Star Spirits. Although the Worm lost the Battle of Arcadia, it only stopped the momentum of the Worm's attack, and did not mean that the occupied Periphery World had been reclaimed. In fact, most of the marginal planets have been overrun by the insects, and the rest of the marginal planets have declared independence from the Empire. The Empire is now too busy watching out for insects and astral spirits to care about the lives and deaths of those fringe worlds.

The problem with empires is that the core world is not the main source of resources. It is undeniable that the planets of these core worlds have their own resource output, but this is far from enough to feed the nearly ten billion people of the imperial core world, the imperial army and the two fleets of the empire. Now, this problem has become more and more prominent, especially after Renault's series of shocking revelations from UNN, and the riots in the core world have exacerbated the problem, destroying a large number of Imperial factories and resource production areas, and the resources needed to rebuild have made the Imperial warehouses that were already difficult to maintain the planned plan even more empty.

With the beginning of all-out war, the Imperial fleet naturally shifted its main attention to the battle against the insects on the front line, and the maintenance of law and order was handed over to the local garrison fleet. However, the local garrison fleet was not only poorly equipped and undertrained, but also lacked morale and the quality of its soldiers. Except for a few planets where the garrison officials do have the ability to deal with these vicious pirates, the security situation on other planets is getting worse and worse. Looting of caravans also intensified, and the lifeline of the empire depended heavily on the operation of these trade routes, especially as the peripheral worlds were almost completely lost, and the domestic trade routes and trade routes with Yumoyan and Kailian became the key to keeping the empire's war machine running.

As a result, the Empire had to start thinking about raiding the Port of the Dead, the largest pirate mercenary hub in the entire sector, in order to suppress the increasingly ferocious wave of pirate attacks. After the success of the Battle of Arcadia, the Imperial fleet was given a bit of respite, and plans for an attack on the Port of the Dead, which had been in the conceptual stage, were put on the agenda.

However, as the news broke that the Empire was going to attack the Port of the Dead, the number of pirates and mercenaries gathering in the Port of the Dead gradually exceeded the Empire's expectations, and the Empire even had to reconsider the battle plan.

The Imperial War Department said they were able to deal with so many pirate mercenaries, but the problem was that they were so large that they couldn't possibly wipe them all out on the battlefield. In the absence of any effective means of interception, they could only watch as the routed pirates and mercenaries fled the battlefield.

And these wandering mercenaries and pirates pose a far greater threat to the Empire than it could have been with the Harbor of the Dead. Now, the Empire and the Port of the Dead still retain a certain tacit understanding and mutual respect, but if they do attack the Port of the Dead, then it means that these rules have been completely broken, and those pirates will be more brazen to plunder caravan ships and even plunder the Empire's planet.

It is true that the previous plan did not anticipate the presence of such a large number of pirates, and the main reason was that this all-out war launched by the insects against humanity caused a large number of humans to be displaced and forced to abandon their homes. In addition, the core world refuses to accept refugees from the peripheral worlds, giving rise to a large number of pirates and mercenaries who have to use the Port of the Dead as a safe haven. The original plan was not made with this in mind, and now when it is now intended to attack the Port of the Dead, the Empire is shocked by the sheer sheer sheer sheer numbers.

The Führer soon ordered the War Department to continue to prepare according to the predetermined plan, and at the same time asked the various departments of the Reich to jointly form an investigation team to investigate the possible economic damage of the pirates in the end.

It was not until three days before the scheduled time of the operation that the investigative team finally submitted a detailed 298-page estimate to the Führer's Office. The exact contents of the report are not yet known, but the Führer convened an emergency meeting the next day. The entire combat operation was urgently terminated on the day of the scheduled start of the operation.

In a way, Mira Han's main purpose has indeed been achieved. However, they never fought the Empire, relying solely on the increasing number of pirates and mercenaries to force the Empire to rethink the entire operation and finally cancel the combat operation that did more harm than good.

This is naturally a good thing for the pirates and mercenaries of the Port of the Dead. But for Yang Yi, this is not something to celebrate. He originally planned to take advantage of this opportunity to grab a wave of the empire's major military planets, but with such a toss, he couldn't grab those military planets of the empire, otherwise the empire's fast reaction forces were enough for him to drink a pot.

A1 reassured him that he still had a chance, but he really didn't want to drag it out. According to the battle calculation, after waiting for the Imperial fleet to be empty, it will have to wait until the little prince takes away half of the fleet in the Battle of Char, and after the Battle of Char, Mengsk will run with the Imperial fleet to pursue the rangers and the little prince, and then ...... He'll have to fight with the Worm Mothers of Kerrigan for control of the Empire's military planet.
