Chapter 349: Public Servant (1)
The warband of friend and foe quickly approached, separating us from each other's eyes. When I got back in shape and prepared to find my target, the hero had long since disappeared into the smoke. The Asians left 5 bodies behind and retreated, but I have a feeling that they will definitely come back. In order to kill these 5 subhumans, we paid the price of 13 people. In terms of battle loss ratio, the ability of my troops is much higher than that of our brother troops, but this loss is still not something we can afford, and I realize that this well-arranged position will not be able to contain this money when the next attack comes. Open the communication loop and call the command and ask us to retreat to the rebel base to reorganize our defenses.
"Sir, call from headquarters."
I don't like to be instructed by the so-called strikers at this time to either let us move in or to rescue other troops. You must know that although our combat strength is strong, there is no guarantee that we can achieve a 1-to-1 exchange ratio with the combat sub-people, not to mention that we must leave the preset position and give up the advantage of defense. Even a force as good as mine could be annihilated in a skirmish by the Asians.
"Sir? A call from the headquarters. ”
"Okay, take it."
Reluctantly responding to the communications non-commissioned officer, General Kramer appeared on my eyepiece monitor.
"Colonel, I think the last person you want to see now is me, but unfortunately this matter must be completed by you yourself......"
......
......
Leaving the rebel base with the guard squad, I am now feeling as disgusting as eating worms on my dinner plate.
Let me leave my position, and the soldiers of the detachment, with their most elite guards, just to get this guy Clark to safety. Although Clark is more admirable than any politician I have ever met, he is not a soldier after all, and the fact that I want to abandon what I should be guarding and become a bodyguard for a big man at this time has made the little admiration I had for Clark disappear.
According to Kramer's instructions, I was asked to take a super elite detachment composed of all the reformed warriors to escort Clark and his party to Spaceport. But if you really want to drain so many elite transformation fighters, I don't know how many ordinary soldiers will have to be sacrificed. Instead of doing what the commander wanted, I chose four good men and formed a small team of five people to go to the government building to pick up a certain big man with a big shelf.
I knew that I was going to run away now, I shouldn't have stayed in the first place, it was just a burden, and I had to waste my troops for this, which was simply a disservice. While I was sneering in my heart, I led the team to move closer to the government building.
Even with my perception, I didn't dare to wander around the city as a battlefield, and we used the cover of wreckage and ruins as a base point, and quickly walked with the open area. What was once a city that was not beautiful but magnificent is now a ruined dump. In just a few days of fighting, I didn't know where I was during the dozens of comings and goings.
"Sir, the atmosphere here is problematic again, and the brothers suggest going out and exploring first."
Lance, the leader of the guard squad, cautiously moved to my side, and at his signal, the two soldiers were about to climb through the mountain of garbage blocking the street to check the situation at the other end.
I realized that I had deserted on the battlefield out of anger, which was irresponsible, not only harmful to myself, but also a drag on my comrades.
While reflecting on myself, I asked the two soldiers to come back.
"Don't go over, there is an ambush of subhumans behind me, I can sense their presence. We bypass. ”
Just as the five of them quietly left the main road, out of the corner of my eye, I caught a glimpse of the figure of the subhuman about to move. It's so dangerous, I'm almost surrounded. The clearing was surrounded by the same number of subhumans, and the human warriors didn't stand a chance.
The rebel base was 2 kilometers away from the government building, and it took the team three hours to reach its destination.
The building that catches your eye is no longer what it was when the riots took place. At least at that time, the building could still be seen in its original appearance, and now it is in ruins.
"It can't be killed already, right?"
Lance spoke my mind, if the big guys are really killed, we can go back to the ground, back to our brothers.
With a sigh, I shook the thought out of my head. Although I can't see it on the surface, my brain perception clearly tells me that there are signs of human activity in the huge underground part of the ruins.
......
......
I met Clark sitting among the soldiers on the third basement floor. He wore the same combat uniform as the soldiers, carried an assault rifle, and talked to the people around him. Clark's image completely subverted my imagination, so much so that when I saw him, I was stunned for more than ten seconds to make sure I was not mistaken.
"I really didn't expect that His Excellency the Speaker would personally go into battle to kill the enemy."
"I'd love to say that the implementation is as you can see. It's a pity that your people are not on the front line for me, and now this dress is just in case. ”
Clark's tone is very crisp, and he is hearty, without a frightened look, for his bearing and fearless appearance, I feel admiration from the heart, you must know that as a veteran, I have also cultivated this attitude through a battle of life and death, not afraid of danger, and Clark was born as an official, perhaps the first time he experienced the battlefield, he can show such heroism, he is really stronger than ordinary people, at least in terms of nerve thickness.
Let us know what we're here for.
By this time I was pretty much sure that it wasn't Clarke's intention to let us protect him. It is likely that the command was pessimistic about the outcome of the defensive war, and in order not to be in a hurry at that time, it chose to take the lead in evacuating important people.
"I'm not going anywhere, Colonel, you, as a battlefield hero, should be able to understand what I mean, the soldiers are struggling on the brink of life and death, and I can't run to a safe place alone to be a shrunken turtle. If war requires sacrifice, then count me in. ”
Impassioned as a tenor, I realized through my sense that what he was saying was serious. This man really wanted to die with the soldiers.
I suddenly felt unwilling. If the survival of the original coalition government was not my concern, then the presence of a provisional government with a head of state like Clark really piqued my interest, and I was eager to see what the Provisional Government would look like if it had the opportunity for peaceful development.
Unfortunately, if the time is not with me, and if we do not defeat the too powerful Pallanders, there will be no future for the Provisional Government.
The fact is that the Provisional Government is infinitely close to death, defeat, and now it seems to be only a matter of time.
"We respect you, and so does the command. I think General Kramer must have had a deeper meaning when he called me out from a critical position and sent you to the safety of outer space. I'm not a politician, and I don't know much about society, people, and the like, but it's conceivable that in the future, regardless of the victory or defeat of the war, the 50 million refugees in our three planetary systems can't be left to fend for themselves, and someone needs to plan for their welfare. ”
Clark was unmoved, looking at me with a serious expression. And I also have my own position, not to mention that I have received a formal order to bring people.
The two of us held on to each other, and neither of us had any intention of giving in.
"Two leaders, don't discuss leaving yet, the scout reports that the building has been surrounded by subhumans."
