Emily, who was cursing, changed herself into a complete set of clothes, and cast her gaze on the metal building that was still in place. It seemed that this thing blocked herself and Sharp just now. Just when she was about to take action, the metal building suddenly exploded, and the debris scattered all over the place.
At this time, the words "apply for support" were also spit out from Sharp's mouth not far behind Emily, causing her to fall into silence.
Sometimes people in the military department would rather fail the mission than apply for support. Because there is no shame in failing a mission, and everyone fails a mission sometimes. But the application for support is different, which means that the task performers are incompetent.
It is not difficult to accept failure, but most people may not be able to admit that they are incompetent.
"Let's count the remaining people first, and see if there is any chance before making a decision." Emily still had a little luck in her heart.
"This mission has failed, and continuing to waste time is just a waste of time. If you apply for support, you can complete the mission earlier." Sharp put forward his own idea, "I thought about it, this time, I will carry it out alone. I won’t implicate you. After this mission is over, I will also resign as a general, quit the military department, and concentrate on studying the Dao of the Sword.”
"Sharp, you don't need to do this. Although it is not a glorious thing to apply for support, this task is indeed difficult, and the Lord of the Kingdom must understand it." Emily thought that Sharp's resignation was because of the impact of this task. for the sake.
"The idea of resignation came after I obtained the new ability Daoxin yesterday." Sharp's poker face that has never changed for thousands of years smiled again. "In the past, the position in the military department was a major responsibility for me, and I put everything first. But now, this position has become a burden for me, and I have to let go to go further."
"You obtained that legendary ability?" Emily asked eagerly after hearing these words.
"Yeah, the ability I dreamed of, I didn't expect to get it after a defeat." Sharp shook his head and smiled bitterly, "This is fate..."
"If the lord and the marshal know, they won't let you go." Although Emily doesn't know how terrifying this legendary ability is, the ability that all blade masters in the universe dream of, naturally won't weak.
"So, please help me keep this matter a secret." Sharp revealed this secret, obviously because he trusted Emily.
"I can keep it secret for you, but you'd better find someone you trust to handle these video records." Emily pointed to the two monitors not far away.
"If you don't tell me, I forgot about this." Only then did Sharp remember that there was surveillance around here. He looked down at the corpses scattered on the ground, and continued, "So many people died this time, obviously belonged to A major decision-making mistake. If I don't come to resist, Walter's child's future will be completely ruined. I just need to find an excuse to quit the military, and you can just put all the responsibility on me."
"I see." Emily didn't say anything more, she knew that Sharp had already made up her mind to go, and there was no point in persuading him. And by doing so, Sharp also helped himself and Walter out of the siege. Generally speaking, decision makers are jointly and severally responsible, but Sharp, as the oldest of the three, has the heaviest voice. There is also the possibility that he can directly make certain decisions without going through the two of them. So this gives Emily and Walter an excuse to shirk responsibility.
"You guys take off your mechas, and count the remaining people. Give the remaining people a sobering agent and let them have a good rest. After the statistics are completed, report the data to me." Sharp pointed at the remaining ten people not far away. A number of mech pilots shouted that there are only a few people who are still awake in the entire port.
"Yes!" The dozen or so pilots saluted, then quickly opened the hatch of the mech and climbed out. After discussing with each other and assigning tasks, they all dispersed.
About half an hour later, a young soldier appeared in front of Sharp again. He was one of the dozen or so mech pilots.
"My lord, the statistics have been completed. Including everyone, there are currently 1,263 survivors, of which 822 are uninjured, and the rest are injured to varying degrees. Members of the medical team are assisting with the wounded."
"I see, you guys should go to bed earlier." Sharp waved his hand. Even though he had already planned to take the blame and resign, how to write the report on this incident was a headache.
"The number of survivors is only a quarter, which is a major strategic error. This time things are a bit troublesome..." Emily is one of the first two, and Sharp can throw away the burden and leave, but after Sharp took the blame and resigned, he He has become the highest responsible person for this incident, and there is still a lot of mess to clean up.
"There should be a special investigation team to review this incident, it will indeed be more troublesome." Sharp also nodded, "Let's find a time to talk to each other, don't say anything, or you will be implicated .By the way, is that boy Walter alright?"
"He's fine, but fell asleep on the ground after drinking too much, and he probably doesn't know what happened tonight." Emily sighed, "Ignorance is really a kind of happiness sometimes."
"Okay, you go to rest too, whether you can sleep or not, it's good to replenish your energy." Sharp said, walking towards the Golden Eagle, "I'm going to sleep too."
After a big victory, Gu Ding and others returned to the hotel, and the others dispersed early, and many fled to other cities overnight.
Back at the hotel, Guding asked about everyone's situation.
"Lily, are you okay?" What he was most worried about was Liliat's physical condition. The overload of mental power would have much more serious consequences than the overload of the body.
"It's okay. The Sea Emperor reminded me before the mental power was overloaded. And the battle on your side ended very quickly, and it basically didn't affect me." Liliat shook her head. With that With the increase of the helmet, her hypnotism counterattack situation is much better.
"Where's Bigger? Is there any injury? Sharp gives me the feeling that it has really become a lot stronger." Gu Ding expressed his feelings.
"I'm fine." Bigger didn't find any wounds on his body.
"Robert also made a move this time. Thank you very much. If it weren't for you, our mission might not go so smoothly." Gu Ding also knew that without Robert's help, at least two links would encounter obstacles for himself and others. "Have you taken back all your props?"
"As a team member, I should contribute." Robert's voice still had no emotional fluctuations. "Except for the entry-level war fort, all other props have been taken back. I set the war fort to finish Self-destruct after mission."
"I just got bad news." At this time, the Sea Emperor suddenly said.
"What I want to hear more is good news." Gu Ding whispered.
"Sharp and the others have already decided to apply for reinforcements, and he will make a report tomorrow morning." The news brought by the Sea Emperor was indeed a bolt from the blue.
Originally thought that this matter would come to an end and that the people in the military department would stop for a period of time, Gu Ding did not expect this to be the result.
"The interstellar pirates you brought killed too many members of the army. This time their death rate was as high as more than 70%, and only a quarter of the total survived. When encountering such a thing, the army People in the Ministry usually have only two solutions. One is to admit that the mission failed and return to the military headquarters with their tails between their legs. The second is to apply for support and ask the headquarters to send more people to solve this incident. Under normal circumstances, most People will choose the first way to deal with the result, because the second choice will be looked down upon."
"Why do they have to report to the headquarters? They can choose to hide it or not, continue to spend with us, and hunt us down slowly. With two generals around, they will be able to complete the task sooner or later." Gu Ding thinks this is also a choice.
"If the death toll is less than 20%, what you said is indeed the best way to deal with it. But the death toll in this incident exceeds 70%. If it is concealed and not reported, once the military department and the federal government If you realize it, the consequences will be very serious." Neptune explained, "It may even be brought to the federal court by the federal government as a 'crime against humanity'."
"Crimes against humanity..." In fact, it was just for self-protection and not to report, but to be labeled with such a big hat, Gu Ding couldn't help but muttered, "There are so many rules in the military department!"
"Hey, now is not the time to discuss these topics." Liliat tapped the table with her knuckles, "Once the reinforcements from the military department arrive, they will definitely raid all the corners of this planet that can be hidden. There's nowhere to escape."
"Therefore, the most sensible move is to leave this planet before the arrival of military reinforcements." The Sea Emperor put forward his own opinion. "It's not difficult to sneak into the port, it's not difficult to steal the spaceship, and it's not difficult to close the sky shield and the armor-piercing guns in the port. But the biggest problem now is the interceptor ships. As long as they see any interstellar pirate's spaceship, they will definitely be there. It was shot down immediately without even warning."
"Neptune, can't you destroy the systems of the three interceptor ships?" Guding asked.
"These three interceptor ships are Young Dragon. This type of interceptor ship was designed by the designer of the military department to simulate mechanical civilization. It retains manual operation, and the priority of manual operation is higher than that of system operation. If I attack Their system, they can switch to manual operation without any effort." Neptune has already investigated the internal situation of the three young dragons, "the reason for choosing the young dragon should be considered by the people in the military department Possibility of us hacking the interceptor."
"If it doesn't work, let's spend some money and ask mercenaries to kill the three interceptor ships from the outside?" Guding suddenly thought of a rather strange solution. Before, I only heard of the federal army hiring mercenaries, and the interstellar pirates hiring mercenaries, and this was the first time everyone heard of it.
