I stated that the order could not be changed and that he must be evacuated immediately, while Clark insisted that the Speaker of the Government must live and die with the capital.

"I am the head of the Provisional Government, and I am obliged to join the soldiers in their march and retreat when they are asked to defend the capital. Once I leave here, it means that the government has effectively abandoned Ganymede, and who is in a position to ask these hundreds of thousands of soldiers to die here. ”

From the bottom of my heart I agree with Clark, not expecting the most critical moment to meet the perfect politician as described in the textbook. But it is precisely because I agree with him that I can't let such a precious animal be lost on Europa, and in my opinion, the refugees of the solar system in the future can rely on this person's persistence to fight for a world of their own.

Just as I was about to take the people away with force, the on-site commander of the government building reminded me that the Planters had surrounded the building.

"It's okay, let's rush out while they have the opportunity to kill in!"

While using my wide-area perception to probe the distribution of subhuman forces in the encirclement, I ordered everyone, including the existing defenders, to prepare to evacuate the building.

Probably realizing my insistence and the inevitable use of force, Clark's expression became more and more solemn.

"Colonel, do you know what you're doing? Once the government building falls, the morale of the soldiers in the city will be damaged, and everyone will think that the government is either finished or have fled, and the result is that the soldiers who have lost the will to fight will automatically disperse, and Europa will be lost. ”

"Mr. Speaker, there is a premise for what you are talking about, that is, there are still people in the whole army who are concerned about you. Unfortunately, the intensity of the fighting is dizzying, and the warriors can only look out for the present, and they have no time to pay attention to you and the building you are in. Believe me, nothing else will cause the situation you are talking about to happen, except for the orders of the command. ”

As the personnel and equipment gathered, I noticed a large number of officials in formal attire appearing in the crowd.

"What's going on with these?"

Although I had reservations, I consciously raised my tone when I asked questions, and my expression definitely expressed my dissatisfaction.

"They are the officials who stayed behind with the Speaker."

The on-site commander grabbed his hair and looked annoyed.

I tried my best to put on what I thought was kind and faced the Speaker.

"I can't take these people with me, they're too cumbersome."

"These are my men, and I will advance and retreat with them."

Clark struck a grim look.

Our dispute here also attracted the attention of the ranks of officials, and one of them, a very stylish middle-aged and elderly man, came over.

"Hello Colonel, I'm Blake, who is in charge of economics and budgeting. I note that you and His Excellency the Speaker are arguing. ”

"Blake, it's nothing, we just need to discuss some details about the evacuation path and staffing."

"No, Your Excellency, I think you should also see that the situation is tense right now, and I have limited manpower, and it is impossible to escort everyone out."

"What nonsense are you talking about, I won't abandon my subordinates and escape alone."

Clark was clearly in a hurry and didn't use honorifics. He emphasises his field with fierce gestures, but it seems to me more like a farmer arguing with others than the head of a country.

“......”

I put on a serious look and didn't give an inch. If you want to fight with this group of politicians, it is estimated that you will not win, but fortunately I am a soldier, and I don't need to make decisions except for concise orders.

With an understanding look on his face, Blake nodded to me and turned to the Speaker.

"Please face it, this is not the time to pay attention to righteousness or image, the provisional government may have lost its territory, but there are still people to manage, for the sake of the beginning and the end, and for the benefit of the people, please leave immediately. A few of us, although not as good as professional warriors, are not some helpless waste, I used to be the captain of a battleship, please do not doubt the combat effectiveness of our people. ”

"But how I alone can save the people, you say it well. If it weren't for all the cabinet members being rescued, the relevant mechanisms would not be able to operate normally, and it would matter if I was in charge of the overall situation again. ”

"Your Excellency! Please don't be presumptuous......"

While the two politicians were arguing, I disengaged and arranged the retreat.

Based on the intelligence of the commander on the ground, as well as my own perception results, I knew that the time to retreat and break through was urgent.

Although on the surface it is impossible to control the life and death of those officials, it is impossible for them to be left to their own devices, not to mention that they are similar to Clarke, they are politicians with a conscience, and in this case, they cannot let the tragedy occur.

If it were a group of third-rate politicians who only knew their own interests, they might have fled to a safe place by this time. It is precisely because they are responsible figures that they will fall into the enemy position.

For the first time, I felt in my heart that it was my duty as a soldier to protect state institutions and heads of state from infringement. The hateful fellows who only knew all day long about intrigue and could not arouse the loyalty of their subordinates were replaced by a group of conscientious politicians who scrupulously fulfilled their duties for the good of the people, and for them, as a soldier, I had a particularly strong sense of duty to protect them.

Urgently contact the Command to request additional reinforcements to escort the officers.

The response from the command was basically in line with my expectations, and there was nothing they could do now without reserves. Nevertheless, General Kramer gave me the right to act cheaply, delegating command of the various positions in the vicinity to me.

The retreat was soon carried out with the liaison of many parties and the cooperation of fraternal forces.

More than 200 Marines from three positions around the area will launch a feint attack from all directions. Their role is not so much to distract the enemy in front of them as to directly deter the security of the commanding subhumans. I led the 700 soldiers guarding the government building, escorting nearly 28 senior government officials out of the building.

After the battle began, I adjusted the direction of the diagram according to the intercepted command-type bio-signal command. When the siege was confirmed, a large number of people scattered and rushed into the underground part of the government building, waving their troops towards the eastern exit of the building.

For us, who have an absolute disadvantage in individual combat power, the breakthrough itself means huge casualties. I and another reformed warrior assaulted the front, and in less than 5 minutes, the reformed warrior lost its combat effectiveness because he was hit in the abdomen by the combat subhuman, and then a new reformed warrior was replenished.

In the rush, my basic tactic is to rely on my brain domain perception ability to obtain the attack path of the subhuman attack in advance, and then prepare for the counterattack, once the opponent's attack move is old, it is the time for me to launch a thunderous strike.

This tactic is especially effective in one-on-one combat, but when faced with two, or even more, overwhelming people rushing at the same time, my situation became dangerous.

When a large force passes through an area broken by the forward, it often heralds the most intense moment of the battle. A large number of people from the line of fire of the large army, as well as the sub-people rushed into the crowd in a crushing manner, setting off bursts of bloody rain. The number of casualties skyrocketed, and the reformed fighters I brought directly lost 3 people, and when the ammunition for the spray guns in our hands was almost exhausted, we finally broke through the enemy's encirclement.

Immediately I gave the order for the large force to disperse into the three strongholds.

When he finally entered the relative safety of the stronghold and faced Clark again under heavy guard, the middle-aged man's face turned a little pale, but the spirit in his eyes had not been lost, and I could see that although the Speaker had been hit by the brutal battle, he had not lost his fighting spirit. Such a person shows such composure on the battlefield for the first time, and if he becomes a soldier, he must be the most reliable type.

"Chief, you are frightened. We'll stay here for half an hour to make corrections, and then we'll set off for Spaceport. ”

"Blake is dead, what a good man, always conscientious in his work, and in peacetime he can only be a clerk at the very bottom because he does not flatter. Now I finally have a chance to show my talents, but I was disemboweled by a monster. ”

“......”

I couldn't answer Clark's words. I remembered the minister who spoke to me just now, and I also sighed in my heart for a while, another good person is gone.

"Colonel, I have a request, please give me guns and ammunition, I understand that my combat effectiveness is limited, even if I go to the battlefield, it will only become a burden, I am not asking to go to the front line of the battle, but I hope to be able to give the enemy as much as possible when facing the last moment like Blake."

I admire this conscientious politician more and more in my heart. I didn't think he still had such blood. Being able to meet such a wonderful person at such a difficult time, I have nothing to complain about.

After having Clark given him an assault rifle, I contacted the detachment. According to Maxim, the development of the war situation is extremely unfavorable for our side. We have fewer and fewer people here, the soldiers are tired to death, but there is no one to replace them, and the oppressive attacks are continuous, and there are especially difficult to give birth to the oppressive people. Not long after I left, the rebel base was hit by an unprecedented wave of attacks by 50 submen.

The casualties among the fighters were heavy, and Gru was seriously wounded, and it is estimated that it will be difficult to survive today.

Hearing the news that my comrades-in-arms were seriously injured, even if I, who was used to the death of the people around me, could not really be indifferent. reminds me of the outrageously revised combination when we first met, and Catherine, who is not a boyfriend and girlfriend, but is already like an old husband and wife. Catherine is still dead, and now Gru is going to follow. War is indeed a meat grinder, constantly needing blood and life to keep it running.

After half an hour of repair, there was no chance to sleep, just counted the equipment and the number of fighters, adjusted the state, and it was almost time to set off. The on-site commander kindly prepared food for us that was mainly canned meat. The group devoured a fairly hearty meal, and continued to rush into the chaotic battlefield.

Although the battlefield was chaotic and there were constant firefights, most of these firefights came from Scouts and enemies, except for large-scale battles. Due to the disparity in individual combat strength, our scouts suffered extremely heavy casualties. In the rebel base alone, 12 scouts were replaced in 10 hours.

It can be said that every piece of information about the battle on the battlefield was exchanged for the blood and lives of the soldiers.

As a result, a small force like ours appeared on the battlefield and soon attracted the attention of the Berlanders. Even with the careful movement of the troops, I noticed that more and more fighters were gathering and constantly harassing and attacking. From the beginning, when 1 subhuman was attacked within ten minutes, to now, there is a harassment every five minutes. Even with my superhuman superior perception, the number of warriors killed and wounded by the surprise attacks of the sub-people continues to increase.

Here the hand is equivalent to death. Because they did not have the spare strength to carry the stretcher team, and because they did not carry transport vehicles, all the comrades-in-arms whose mobility was affected by their injuries could only give them enough ammunition and let them stay where they were. I understand that this is actually a declaration of the death of the wounded soldiers, but we really can't afford to reduce the combat strength of the stretcher team to the squad.

Another raid under a roar. The vitality that came from the defensive position to assist the defense, through two minutes of concentrated firepower, was able to tear apart the sub-people who rushed into the position. Looking at the corpses all over the ground, and the results of the battle of only two subhumans, I felt helpless in my heart. In such a battlefield, if you are just yourself, you do have the possibility of breaking through and succeeding, and if you have to bring the soldiers and the important personnel to protect, the hope of success becomes more and more slim.

"Colonel, don't worry, if I'm wounded, please order me to be put where I am, and I'll pull at least one subhuman on my back before I die."

Clark nodded at me, assault rifle in hand. Even with all our efforts, Clark ended up having to defend himself with an assault rifle in his hand. To be honest, the Speaker's performance was beyond my expectations. As a civilian person who has never joined the army, he usually lacks exercise because of handling government affairs, and he can easily integrate into the battle with a beer belly. It's unimaginable.

I've seen him fight. The movement of the gun and the speed of maneuver are insufficient, but it is much better than me in the previous volunteers, and I have to say that our speaker is really a piece of material for a soldier. It's a pity that I can't tell him this kind of praise in person, after all, for this kind of big man, saying that he is the material for being a soldier is more likely to be understood as ridicule than praise.

"I don't have any worries, I can command a head of state to do this and that, I guess it's just now, rest assured that I will squeeze out the full value of your step robbery."

The two of us laughed like each other. I don't feel like I'm any closer to him.

The roar rang out again, and Karak and I both looked serious.

Jokes aside, the real combative subhumans, even a 'murderous' warrior like me, have to fight up the spirit.

The basic tactics are relatively simple, but they are very effective. I and a few other reformed warriors took turns to fight, separating the incoming sub-people through grappling, luring, and maneuvering, and then the brigade of men and horses covered the attack from the rear, using the advantage in firepower to consume the opponent. Everything is simple and effective. When I finally got my grip on a subhuman, and another reformed warrior angered his companion, as the roar wore off, I stopped dodging and running away, but put on a head-to-head showdown. The subhuman in front of me stared at the bull's eye, and I could see the pupils of his eyes shrinking.

"What a damn feeling. He's spotted us and attacked! ”

As soon as I gave the order, the subhuman seemed to sense something, and he seemed to be running in one direction. Behind him and on his side, there were constant lines of fire squeezing in. No matter how agile his hand is, it is inevitable to face the tongue of fire that comes from his head and face.

The tongue of fire easily squeezed through the simple carapace-like armor on the subman's body, turning his body into a blood gourd full of holes.

At this time, in the direction of the sub-people's advance, Sanming riflemen appeared, and the dense line of fire they shot completely blocked the last path for the sub-people to escape.

"Stupid, you can't block it, get out of the way!"

Before my voice could be heard, the subhuman, who had previously shown a dying state, suddenly jumped up, almost skipped the line of three riflemen in a flying stance.

Of the three, one was broken in two, his internal organs were scattered on the ground, and blood gushed out, and the other two were thrown out with a huge momentum. Fell in the ruins and did not know whether he would live or die. The third man was caught in the hands of the subhuman, and at the last moment, he continued to pour bullets at the target until he was pinched in the head with his helmet attached.

"Nope! Speaker ......"

My head buzzed and ached as someone screamed. Speaker Clark, who had been laughing earlier, fell in a pool of his own blood. The area below chest height was thrown 3 meters away.
