James wasn't that calm inside, yet he was trying to control himself and think of all the possibilities here. "Deviating from the plan is inevitable," he muttered before moving his gaze to somewhere else. "That report will decide everything."
The first clash with the enemy was brutal. They were already lining up their defenses, and knowing their allies were coming to their aid had added more fuel to their engines and souls.
Yet James never ordered anything else but keeping the entire fleet moving forwards. Crushing such a strong resistance required strong force, and he had to do this in the shortest time possible.
He was afraid of the trapping fleets to come and hit his rear and side. From his perspective, he knew this wasn't the final battle but it's precursor.
