Under the simultaneous broadside of the opponent's battleship cluster and the encircling and cutting maneuver of the Destroyer Group, by the time all the preparations are completed, the battle might already be over. Although the Phantom Corps are elite among elites with undeniable combat power, this can only ensure that they react faster and fight stronger than other units in battle but cannot guarantee their complete safety in a deliberate attack.
Moreover, although the Phantom Corps has nominally become a part of the bandit army, everyone has only been acquainted with this unit for just over thirty hours. Not to mention rapport, even basic trust hasn't been established yet. It's imaginable how the officers and soldiers of the Phantom Corps would feel when a group of strangers suddenly took over the entire fleet's command and led the fleet into an uneasy situation.
