Section 724 Retreat

"No, not exactly that."

Brigadier General Badam responded: "They don't know these, they have never seen them with their own eyes, so they can only use their own understanding as evidence. But even so, it cannot be a reason for you to harm those people."

"Murder? Hahahaha! Do you call this kind of thing a trauma?"

Duke Ma Wen laughed strangely: "Have you seen my little granddaughter lying on the bed so painful that she couldn't sleep, and she tossed and turned and sweated all over her head? Do you know how cruel the little girls' methods were? If this happened to you, I bet that your revenge would definitely be much more violent and bloodier than mine."

Badam fully understood what the Duke wanted to express. He sighed and said, "I can only tell you that the experience of Oviado was a complete accident. I regret it deeply. Please believe that in this matter, I, and others, never thought of targeting you, or this city that has been destroyed. We are not enemies, we are all people of the Empire."

The Duke looked at Badamum with a cold look. After a few seconds, he slowly shook his head: "I don't believe what you said."

Badam was surprised: "Why?"

"The reinforcements came too late. The guards of Oviado sent a distress signal at the first time, but your 441st Division delayed on the road for several days before arriving here. Yes, you have sufficient reasons and excuses. A large-scale attack by corpses, or even a large number of corpses blocking the road, can help you get rid of your guilt in the face of interrogation by the military and legal departments. But what about the others? The construction site of Oviado is very close to Konoha Town, which became a direct fortress of the "Iron Warriors" Legion a few months ago. As far as I know, there is a whole combat team, a whole combat team."

Duke Marvin's voice became heavy: "What is the concept of a combat team? It is a powerful military force that can attack a certain area of ​​the dark world or occupy a certain space field. They are close at hand, but they are not saved by death. I pay up to tens of thousands of gold coins every year, and in return I am timid and afraid of death. You guys are all the same. You never think that the nobles are their own kind, but regard us as enemies and opponents. As long as we are in trouble, no matter what method, no matter how many innocent people are involved, you will only stand by and watch and laugh like idiots."

“It’s not like you think.”

Badam frowned and shook his head repeatedly: "I can make a promise for every word I say. No one wants to target you. At least, in Oviado."

Duke Marvin stared at Badamum with a cold gaze like a snake for a long time, and said lightly: "You are not qualified to let me deal with it. People like you can solve it with just one order, and there is no need to waste your energy."

Unconcealed sarcasm and contempt, very direct ignorance.

Looking at Brigadier General Badam's face that instantly swollen red, Duke Marvin sneered: "Who are you? A mere defense division commander can do whatever you want on your own territory. In front of me, at most it is a dog that will come and go whenever you want. Why, I am not convinced? I saw your hand always holding the gun holster and pulling out a pistol to shoot me! Do you have this courage? Do you think the story I told before is just to pass the time or to satisfy your curiosity? I said: I am a person with a peaceful personality and easy to get along with. But if someone dares to violate my bottom line, no matter who it is, I will not let him go."

The duke's voice was very light and plain, but it caused a shock like thunder in Brigadier General Badam's ears.

Status, power and wealth can only be compared to achieve high or low levels. Badamm always felt that he had reached a peak in life that many people could not reach. He was a member of the party holding heavy troops. Duke Marvin's words made him see the gap between them, and strong anger and fear arose at the same time. Badamm did not think how serious Oviado was captured by the dark creatures. This kind of thing almost happened in Konoha Town. But now, Badamm had to think seriously about what kind of trouble would Oviado bring to himself?

“You can make a choice.”

Duke Marvin walked away slowly, but his voice kept wandering in the mind of Brigadier General Badam: "You can get out of the military and legal department without any responsibility, and still retain your current position and power. Of course, you can also choose another way, and pay the price for Oviado's destruction with the so-called sincerity and responsibility."

...

The heavy steel boots were getting closer and closer, and the face of Sergeant Kusclat became pale. Just as the sounds running from the corridor rushed to the front, Kusclat pressed the engine switch holding the chainsaw sword in his hand, and with despair and madness, he suddenly jumped up from under the hiding sand barracks and rushed towards the opponent who should have appeared in the corner.

He pounced in the air, and there was no one there. Kuskrat felt that he had lost his balance in an instant, rolling in the air, and his embarrassed movements fell heavily to the ground. The broken power armor hit the angle between the wall and the ground, making a dull and empty sound.

With Sergeant Kuskrat as a role model, the other survivors stood up from their respective hiding places. They did not see the Chaos Warriors they imagined, but saw a group of soldiers wearing the same style of power armor as themselves. The difference is that their armor is bright red and complete, and their armor is painted white, which has been damaged in the battle.

Su Hao frowned slightly at Kuskrat, who was slowly standing up from the ground.

He obtained the coordinates of this abandoned base from the Military Command of the Space Field. It was abandoned in the previous battle, and casualties and losses had been reported to the military department. Su Hao's troops had not been able to find the survivor of the Second Company, but they found traces of armored vehicles on the ground near the camping site some time ago. Based on the scratches on the ground, they then judged the escape direction of the Kuskrat team and followed them all the way to the nearby. Because it was getting late and there was a safe place to rest, Su Hao chose this abandoned forward base. However, he did not expect that he would meet the person he was looking for here.

The tentacles of thinking and consciousness played a great role in a narrow environment. If it weren't for this, Su Hao would not have been able to find these soldiers ambushed behind the sand lane. Both sides would definitely have fought for it, and accidental injuries in the melee were inevitable.

Su Hao glanced at the class badge on Kuskrat's shoulder and said in a calm and calm tone: "Master Sergeant, please indicate your identity."

Seeing these familiar figures in front of him, Kuskrat's tears were almost flowing out. He truly felt that His Majesty the Emperor was smiling at him. The hardships of so many days have finally come to an end. We will get enough ammunition immediately, and of course we can have a full meal and then have a good rest, so we don't have to worry anymore.

Kuskrat noticed the military rank on Su Hao's shoulder, cheered up, straightened his body, gave a standard military salute, and reported in a hoarse voice.

"Sir, we are the remnants of the Independence Sixth Army of the Extreme Warriors, the Second Company. We encountered a large-scale attack by dark creatures five days ago, and most of them were already sacrificed. We ran out of ammunition and food, and fled all the way here. I am the Chief of Sergeant Kuskrat, and there are corporal Chinook, Private Anfour. The Ape Man Haomoer is part of the National Defense Forces combat organization. It is unexpected to praise His Majesty the Emperor and it is a blessing we never thought of to meet you here."

Looking at the group of soldiers in front of them with haggard faces, black eyes, scumbag-faced beards, and wearing scarred power armor, Su Hao sighed, gave a gift to Kuscrat, and said seriously: "I am the leader of the Red Dragon Team of the "Iron Warriors" Legion. Our mission is to find you and then take you back at any cost."

Kuskrat was able to understand the meaning of Su Hao's words.

He always carried a military backpack, which contained a refrigerator obtained from the military pharmacist. The pharmacist had died in battle a few days ago. The refrigerator contained the most precious wealth of the Second Company of the "Extreme Warriors" Legion—all of which were genetic seeds taken from the bodies of the officers and soldiers of the dead Legion. As long as these things exist, it would only be a matter of time before the reconstruction of the Second Company was restored.

Looking at the refrigerator that Kusclat took out of his backpack, Su Hao nodded: "This is an important property of your army. Put it away. This should allow you to achieve first-class collective merit. Now, you can rest and leave it to us for the defense and vigilance."

There is no better comfort than this. All survivors, including Kusclat, felt relaxed all over, and they seemed to have lost their strength. They were very soft, but there was no fear in their hearts.

With food and water, many problems can be solved. Kuscrat has never felt so happy as he is now. The supplies carried by Su Hao's troops are not just high-energy biscuits, but also canned and nutritious agents specially provided by the main legion. These things are developed for the special physique of the legion soldiers, and only the legion members can bear the high-energy nutrition that exists in special structures. In short, ordinary people cannot use these foods. For them, it is equivalent to the poison that kills people.

Su Hao decided to rest in this abandoned base until dawn before setting off. Doing so is in line with the physiological characteristics of human beings. The chance of encountering danger is far greater than during the day. Chaos warriors will not be affected by this. They have adapted to the darkness and especially like to fight in that environment.

"We have a bad luck. The captain died and the priest died. They were all brave people, and the dead brothers, whose genetic glands were dug out. This refrigerator contained the souls of all of them. No matter what the price was paid, I had to bring it back. Being able to live was a blessing in itself and a responsibility given to me by all of their dead."

Kuskrat had a lot of words and he talked endlessly. Except for the sentries arranged by Su Hao, everyone gathered around these survivors and listened silently to their escape. When occasionally paused in the middle, the soldiers responsible for food and cooking outside the crowd would send in pieces of barbecue, sprinkled with salt and simple battlefield seasonings.

These barbecue are from the dark creatures killed in the base. Although several days have passed, the corpses of the dark creatures have not completely decayed. Especially in the deep part of the base, the underground air conditioning system is still operating, and the low temperature and the special ventilation environment have caused the corpses of these dark creatures to show signs of drying. Legion soldiers rarely consider food taste and source. Their bodies have been modified and pre-set to divert toxic substances from the food. Therefore, in battlefields or extreme environments, feeding on enemies or their own bodies has become the most common practice in various main legions. People do not think this is a sin, but treat brothers and comrades as part of their bodies. The gene glands are their souls, and they can be reborn again after being recruited and implanted by recruits. As for the body, it is a shell, whether rotten or eaten, the result is the same.

The Kuskrat team had no chance to use the body during their escape. This procedure does not apply to the ape man who died in battle. They had to consider the thinking and feelings of another ape man who was still alive, that is, Haomoer. In addition, the situation was busy running away at that time, and until now, Kuskrat and others truly felt the comfort of enjoying food again.

Su Hao has been thinking about the content of the Chaos Warrior in Kuskrat's words.

The sergeant mentioned that those Chaos soldiers were building a bridge on the river surface. It was the finished product of building a bridge in advance in other places, and then transferring the bridge from other spaces through energy conversion, using a space channel method similar to a space channel. The question is, what is the purpose of the Chaos Legion building bridge?

Just as she was thinking, Su Hao felt a slight shock coming from his left arm, and the military communicator also heard a familiar signal sound.

It was a remote communication from the Space Command. Su Hao clicked on the holographic screen and Lieutenant General Laswell of the National Defense Force appeared.

The general is a kind-faced and gray-haired old man. Perhaps because he had not had a long rest, Laswell looked a little tired. He smiled and said, "Major, I heard that you have found the soldiers who were broken up by the "Extreme Warriors" Legion?"

Su Hao nodded: "There are three survivors and one Ape Man. They are affiliated with the 2nd Company of the Independent Sixth Army. We rest for one night at the G19 advance base and will bring them back tomorrow."

"It's done well. They are all brave warriors, and you guys are very good."

General Raswell praised, and his tone became heavier: "Now is an independent communication between the command center and you, without connecting the public part of your legion. Well... can you understand what I mean?"

This shows that the general did not want the "Iron Warriors" to know about it. Or it could be understood that he did not want more people to hear it.

Su Hao did not respond positively and asked calmly: "Is there anything I need my help?"

“There is indeed a problem.”

General Raswell's expression was a little hesitant, as if he was not sure whether he should say it: "Yes, this space field has always been a battle between us and the dark creatures. Now, the battle has reached a critical moment, and the Chaos Legion inserted in at this time. Their space landing point happened to be in the middle of the war zone between us and the dark creatures, which was equivalent to stabbing us hard from the flank direction. Now, our right wing has been lost. The Second Company of the "Extreme Warrior" Independent Team suffered heavy losses, and the Third Company has been completely destroyed. There are also the First Company and the Fourth Company, which have also lost news earlier. We..."

Su Hao interrupted the general: "We need to find those people? Or do we search locally in this area?"

"No, that's not the case."

Laswell sighed deeply: "I have heard too much bad news these days. The appearance of the Chaos Legion was completely unexpected. We still don't know their detailed forces so far. But one thing is certain that there are many Chaos Legion entering the space field, and the main force should be the "Son of Thousands of Scars". Due to the initial direction of the position and the configuration of the troops, our battle in the space field of HJ A 1071 has actually lost. 10.

Minutes ago, I received a retreat order from the Imperial Military Headquarters. The first retreat plan has begun to be implemented, but the process is not as smooth as expected. We suffered heavy casualties, and the Dark Biology and the Chaos Legion are attacking us. There are more than half of the casualties in two regiments of the 202nd Division, and the reduction rate of the 203 and 204th Divisions is as high as 30%. Because the retreat is too hasty, I don’t know how many troops are abandoned. Now, if there are no reinforcements..."

Su Hao interrupted the general again: "Do you want us to provide reinforcements?"

“As scheduled as the retreat plan, you and your combat team are placed in the next retreat batch.”

General Raswell did not directly answer Su Hao's question. He seemed very sincere and almost begged: "I just got the news that the 211th Division blocked the dark creatures at the Lasenna Pass. They fought two weeks ago until now, and everyone died in battle. The 212th Division just sent a regiment yesterday afternoon, and it has lost most of the losses. With the time they exchanged for their lives, we were able to complete the defense in the rear. Now, someone has to replace the 212th Division, which was basically broken. They are all the best soldiers, and they shouldn't be lost! There is no such thing as a waste."
