If it was Aqi in the past, that is, when she had no other power than the position of "Ombudsman", even if Ivan fell to the point where she is now, she would have to welcome it. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info because no matter what she wants to do, she can't do without the support of those local army remnants.

But now the situation is different.

Ah Qi planned to meet the dead old man, of course, not to win people's hearts and buy the other party. Now she doesn't need those remnants of the defeated army. It's because she suddenly has an urge to take revenge for being perfunctory and toyed with at the beginning. No, certainly not for such irresponsible reasons. Since Ivan specifically participated in the battle against Kecha Goat, it is only natural that he has first-hand information on the battle. This is much more valuable than second- and third-hand information in the report.

"Okay, let him in. She said.

The old man's movements were fast. In other words, when he has requests for others, he does not look old at all. It can be said that he walked in front of Aqi all at once.

Of course, no matter how fast he moves, he can't hide his embarrassed appearance at the moment.

As noted in the report, Ivan was wounded. From the appearance, it can be seen that one arm should be temporarily unusable and hung there. In addition, it is possible to smell the strong smell of hemostatic spray. The report said that Ivan was injured while fleeing, but it did not say exactly where he was injured. However, it seems that although the injury is not too serious, it is not something that can be recovered in a short time. Running around with such an injury every day is quite miserable for an old man of this age.

However, somewhat unexpectedly, Ah Qi noticed that Ivan's expression was actually good. There was indeed the depression and remorse that characterized defeat on his face, but it was far from despair and pain.

If Aqi is not mistaken, just by extrapolating from the battle damage figures, you can know that Ivan will never have a chance to turn over. These remnants of the defeated army or something are actually abandoned waste. It's one thing to reuse waste, it's another thing to turn them over or something.

"Really congratulations," Ivan did not mention himself, but opened with a compliment. "Lieutenant Colonel Aqi has made a great contribution this time......

"What are you looking for me for?" Aqi interrupted bluntly. She didn't want to waste time on meaningless polite words, especially since the other party had no value in wasting her time.

"Hmm," Ivan didn't look embarrassed at all. "Actually, I just wanted to inform the Ombudsman about the retirement. ”

"What, retirement?" Aki wondered. "Who allowed you to retire?" Normally, the only person who is qualified to retire a legion commander is the Governor. But the governor is dead. This means that for Ivan, death can make him retire, and illness will not work.

"Governor," Ivan replied. "I mean, former governor. He took out his terminal, operated it a few times, and sent a certificate to the other party's terminal. "You can take a look. ”

"This time...... You've long since retired?" Aki noticed the timing of the document. Now there is no doubt that in terms of legality, Ivan can indeed retire, this is not a problem. Ah, but what's the benefit of retiring now?

The answer is no good. Ivan will immediately lose all his current status and become an ordinary person in the camp. He can no longer even use his power to protect himself. In other words, he was left with nothing at once. Of course, since the governor is gone, and the territory is occupied, the retirement benefits stipulated by the governor are a dead letter. At least the regular army, on its part, will not be responsible for this. The only thing Ivan could do next was to continue

"Yes. I was supposed to hand over the work within 10 days of my successor's arrival...... Of course, if I wish, I can also temporarily entrust the position to someone, who will lead the legion through this transitional period. Ivan spoke eloquently. "Unfortunately, the tide of war fell apart overnight, the governor died, and my successor never appeared. Although I am only a little clever, I have reason to think that with my little cleverness, I can better get the Legion through this difficult time. ”

"So, I may ask, did you succeed?" If in the past she had to care about Ivan, it was no longer necessary. Ivan's retirement had little effect on her. But seeing this dead old man say such things shamelessly, she really couldn't hold back.

If Ivan wins, no matter how big the loss is, as long as he occupies the mining area, he is indeed qualified to say these words. But the problem is that he lost. Ivan's legion was beaten to the ground by the Destroyers (just the Border Patrol of Kecha Goat) and suffered heavy losses, and it would be a little too shameful to say such a thing.

"It worked. Ivan said, not even moving his eyebrows.

Although Ah Qi wanted to say something more, as the saying goes, people are invincible in the world, and no matter what she wants to say, it has no meaning in front of Ivan's answer. So she could only let out a lament that admitted defeat.

"Well, I, as the Ombudsman, know exactly about your retirement. She wanted to change the subject. It's better to talk about the battle first. "Since the formalities are complete, I will not object. But to whom do you intend to entrust your role to a moment?" she asked casually.

"There is no one to entrust. After I retired, the legion ended. Ivan said.

"It's over?" Aki couldn't figure it out for a moment.

"It's gone. Ivan said. "Everybody - all the rest of the people left. I was the last one, so when I retired, the Legion ceased to exist. In this case, I don't think I need to delegate anything to replace me temporarily. ”

"Leave...... Where did they go?"

"I arranged for them to retire. Ivan said unhurriedly. "This is my authority as a Legion Commander. Of course, I had to inform the Ombudsman about my own retirement...... That is, you. As for the others, we don't have an ombudsman within the legion, so I don't need to inform anyone. ”

"What do you mean...... The Third Legion of the Banshee Gate......"

"It's completely disbanded," Ivan said. "I'm the last one. The relevant combat sequences can be deleted directly. Wait for the next Governor to rebuild the legion. ”

"Wait, then, where are all your former subordinates?" asked Aqi. He didn't believe that Ivan had completely disbanded the legion in the true sense of the word. Because at the moment such a situation is completely impossible. Where is the soldier going? Her sanity told her that, while everything seemed plausible on the surface, in reality, it could only be a trick for a golden cicada to shed its shell.

"As a retired soldier, I was called up again, and now I have become a recruit of the 16th Legion. Ivan said.

"Sixteenth Legion......" Aqi came to his senses. This is thanks to the fact that she happened to be reading the report before meeting Ivan. In the midst of an all-out defeat, the only victory is always so conspicuous and easy to remember. "You said Lu Wu?"

He has also promised that when I retire, he will rehire me as a staff officer. ”

Aki frowned, it didn't seem like a good thing, but then she was told by reason that it didn't matter. Anyway, although she is still an ombudsman, she is no longer just an ombudsman. Since these remnants of the defeated army are of no value to her, let alone annexing each other, even if they are all dead, what does it matter?

"Why do you want to do this? Is Lu Wu really so good?" she asked the question after a moment's silence. She didn't think that this old man would willingly give everything up. In fact, it's all more like a conspiracy.

"Because he won. Ivan replied. "It's more important than anything else. "This victory brought Lu Wu a mine. Ivan had already calculated carefully, so that Lu Wu would have enough financial resources to support one legion, or even more than one.

"What do you think," Aki shifted the subject. "How's the Destroyer's power?"

"Very strong. Ivan had an indescribable expression on his face as he remembered it. Kecha Goyat is not only powerful, but also cunning. In fact, Kecha Goat deliberately created the illusion that the Destroyer was a creature with a low IQ on the one hand, and on the other hand, he was not afraid of death at all, and only knew the brainless pig protrusion on the front. And he, like a stupid beast, crashed headlong into the trap set by Kecha Goat. In fact, the Destroyer not only has intelligence and tactics, but also has very flexible tactics, and the internal coordination is simply seamless. And most importantly, they clearly knew very well when to attack desperately and when to retreat.

"Well, if you convert it to a regular army," Aqi said. It is generally believed that the combat effectiveness of the regular army is higher than that of the local army, and this is not only a difference in equipment, but also in a difference in training and morale. "How many times can you top?"

Ivan pondered for a moment, recalling the miserable defeat and how easily his carefully laid out front had been crushed. Now he can recall those scenes relatively calmly.

"Five to ten soldiers in exoskeleton armor," he said. "With at least four or more cannons, it should be relatively easy to deal with one destroyer - so that you won't lose more than two people after victory. But if you assemble into an army," he thought for a moment. Even in the regular army, there are very few hoplites in which all the soldiers of the entire legion wear exoskeleton armor, and the garrison of Gasher City, the popularity of exoskeleton armor is already very high. "With favorable terrain, ten times more troops should be able to deter their attack. ”

But if you're flanked or surprised, it's a different story.

The two men then talked about the previous defeat and the details of the battle. Ivan, who had clearly shaken off the frustration of the defeat, spoke of the battle in detail and with less restraint (which was unexpected). As Aki had expected, she had gotten far more out of this conversation than the second-hand, third-hand, or even N-hand reports. By the time the conversation drew to a close, her mind had fully outlined the course of the battle, and of course, the strength of the Destroyer's army.

At the end, they naturally talked about the only victory in this battle.

"Do you see how he won the battle?" asked Aki.
