Yes, although there has been a change in the situation, Shen Shi still wasn't prepared to give up.
Regardless of success or failure, after this battle, human civilization will surely enter the eyes of the upper echelons of the two systems, and perhaps even the Pasture Master will personally take action. The subsequent plan of "settling" is an inevitable trend. In other words, the current situation might very well be the opportunity for human civilization to fish in troubled waters in this system war for a certain period.
At least, this is the case in the third future timeline.
Therefore, Shen Shi did not want to leave just like that.
He thought for a moment and then added:
"By the way, send someone to conduct intelligence exchanges with the Mude System and say that we have discovered the Thousand Alliance's confidence and have decided to retreat."
This was not intended to side with the Mude System but rather to prevent them from being simply wiped out.
