Chapter 2277: Qualifications for Grief
"Baron, so far, apart from the fact that the progress has not been ideal, we have actually played very well. Their casualties were heavy, and we suffered only minor losses. Conan Qiang laughed.
"I understand, but it won't go on like this. They held us back for four hours, and damned Vasily refused to cooperate with me in intercepting the main force of the rebels. Now the main force of their resistance must have completed the withdrawal. The Red Baron shook his head.
"This should be what the Ministry of Defense Orumi meant, and it doesn't have much to do with Vasily. Conan whispered.
"What do you think? The Ministry of Defense Orumi is just a place with a glossy sign, and what is not under Vasily's control?" the Red Baron sneered.
Conan frowned, "But it's impossible, doesn't he know you're helping him? Isn't that the best for Vasily?"
"Maybe you don't know him. In this world, there are always some people who think about how to remedy things after doing something wrong, but how to conceal or shirk responsibility. Even, they don't like people who can help them remedy. Because then it will appear that they are really wrong. And they want to be perfect from the point of view, at least in the eyes of others. The Red Baron whispered.
"Won't the Grand Duke ask about this?" said Conan, in a low voice.
"The Grand Duke has other important things to do at the moment, and he doesn't want to worry about it for the time being. The Red Baron sighed, "And Vasily is his agent on the surface, so he will let this villain succeed." ”
While they were talking, they suddenly heard a loud explosion, and there was chaos in front of them. The Red Baron pressed the communicator and shouted, "What's the matter, did they counterattack?"
"No, it's not ......," one of the Secret Society militants said in horror, "yes, yes......" but his voice disappeared before he could finish speaking.
The entire valley trembled like an earthquake, and the Red Baron was suddenly startled, looking at the surging white lines in the distance, and suddenly changed color, "It's not good, it's a flash flood!" The flood of water rushing down from the mountain is not something that human power can stop at all. Almost instantly, the Order's armed forces were scattered in all directions. What's worse is that the huge water flow hits the rocks, causing many landslides in the mountain that appear loose due to rainfall, forming a more impactful mudslide.
This top-down momentum is almost unstoppable, while the valley below is itself narrow, causing the water to flow even more turbulently. In an instant, the Order's armed personnel were overwhelmed, and even the Red Baron and Conan could only climb onto the top of a large truck, which was also swept downstream by the torrent.
When the rebels on the hillside saw this scene, they couldn't help but cheer in unison. They climbed high and blew up the dammed lake, triggering a massive flash flood. And the large lake below had already poured out countless amounts of water in just a few moments. Not only that, but under the impact of the current, it continues to collapse.
"At the current rate, it is estimated that this momentum will continue for another two hours or so. The actuary said in a low voice. "Even if they can regroup and catch up in the ocean, we have plenty of time to evacuate. ”
"Oh! Actuary, how did you come up with the idea of using this trick. Did you know that the dam was just released, and the whole valley was like a huge flush toilet with the switch flipped. In the sound of the rushing water, the Secret Society guys were literally swept away. Wow! It's so much fun!" Crazy Horse laughed.
"It's not new. In warfare, using water as a weapon to attack the enemy, or attacking the enemy with water, is called water attack or water instead of soldiers in ancient military history. It's just that this is the wisdom of war that belongs to the era of cold weapons. Shogan shook his head and said, "I was forced to think of this method out of desperation, and I asked about the sausages and calculated the feasibility of doing so." I dare to take a risk, the risk is extremely high, and it is just a fluke. ”
"Anyway, we got rid of them, and it's good that they can stay alive with such a strong water situation. Don't think about chasing us. Sergey said.
"Inform the teams, count the number of people, and we are ready to withdraw. Lin Rui said in a low voice.
"What about these...... Chief of Staff Philo walked over and turned his head to look at the wounded and the corpses of the fallen rebels by the lake.
"We don't have time to dispose of the corpses. Lin Rui shook his head, "It's good to be able to bring all the wounded." ”
Chief of Staff Philo shuddered a little and said, "These are our brothers. ”
"Yes, so they paid with their lives so that more of you would survive. So you can grieve, but don't stop, this is war. The last thing they want is to ignore their sacrifices. Chief of Staff Philo, gather the troops, and we will set off at once. Lin Rui said in a low voice, the military boots on his feet were filled with muddy water, and he looked heavy. The rain was still falling, but Lin Rui was already much more relaxed, and he knew that he had survived again this time. Not only did he survive, but he allowed many people to survive.
Looking at the dead rebel soldiers, Chief of Staff Philo crouched on the ground and wept bitterly. He may not be a very good chief of staff, but he is a well-known tough guy in the Resistance. Even among these veterans of the rebels, it was rare to see Chief of Staff Philo cry like this. He was really sad.
The more than 300 rebels who were on the task of intercepting the war, almost the backbone of the entire force, were now mostly left in the jungle and valley, on the desperate hill full of rocks.
This time Lin Rui did not stop him, because everyone has the freedom to express their emotions. As long as it does not affect the team's actions, Lin Rui is willing to give them a little time to remember their comrades. They have given a lot, they deserve more, but now they only have a little bit of mourning and remembrance.
Lin Rui turned around, habitually reached into his pocket, and took out a cigarette case. But the cigarette rolls in the cigarette case had soaked into dark brown juice. Lin Rui poured out the water and tobacco in the cigarette case, looked up at the sky, and secretly scolded the ghost weather. On the other side, Snake Eye walked over with Crazy Horse in his arms, Crazy Horse's arm was bandaged, his forehead was broken, and he was still bleeding, and he didn't bother to deal with it. Sergey and the others were not much better than them, and they all had wounds on their bodies and faces.
"Let's go! We still have a lot of work to do. Lin Rui said in a low voice. "We'll have to get out of here and try to join up with the Free Liberation of Ammore, and if the plan goes well, they should be in the town we are scheduled to meet up with by now. Actuaries, can you get in touch with them?"
"It's been almost three hours since the communication was cut off, but I can try again on the road. Shogishi nodded.
"Alright, everyone, keep on your way. Brethren of the Resistance, I have no intention of disturbing your grief and remembrance. But remember, brethren. Only the living are qualified to grieve. If you hang up, you can only be sad. Lin Rui turned around and ordered.
