126 The oath of homecoming
Old Jack looked out the window with a lonely and tired expression, where he was now lying in the bed of the Osiris medical ward. The Osiris has arrived at the Cosmopolitan Harbor, a commercial site outside of Chihuahua for the Moore Chamber of Commerce, which has signed treaties with various powers, and his home airport is equivalent to a neutral area. But the few people who maintain the operation of this commercial port are pitiful, and the defensive facilities are even more vulnerable. No one knows if the RC or HER forces will attack here in order to destroy the Osiris.
In addition to Old Jack in the ward, there are also the wounded of the fighter formation, because there are many members of the fighter formation, and the people who come to visit the wounded are very lively, only Old Jack, the captain of the humanoid weapon B team, is a lonely one. His team was ambushed by RC today, three of the five team members were killed, one was still being rescued, and only he was lucky to have minor injuries to his legs.
He was dragged back to the boat, and when he learned that three of the team members were killed and one was injured, Old Jack, a big man, was absent from the field and cried, losing his mind and dragging his injured leg to crawl to check on his dead teammates. The war has not been useless until now, he has experienced life and death, but the team members are almost all wiped out, and he feels that he has the greatest responsibility as the captain.
Bart, Miao Haus, and Li Si and other members of Team A came to visit him, and when they saw Old Jack's lonely appearance, the old men didn't know what to say to comfort. Lao Jiekang took the initiative to greet them with a strong fighting spirit, but his voice was obviously hoarse and tired.
"How's the red wolf, out of danger?" Old Jack asked. Red Wolves is another surviving member of Team B who is being rescued. And "Red Wolf" is not a nickname, but a real name, because he is an Indian, and most of the Indian Rao's names are unknown.
"The rescue is over, but I am still unconscious, and I am not out of danger."
Old Jack sighed, and Bart sat down and patted him on the shoulder: "Don't be too sad, Captain Shepard asked me to take the talk, and the responsibility for today's casualties is all on him." โ
Old Jack shook his head: "I can't blame the captain, it's that I didn't perceive the trap." โ
Miao Haosi: "The terrain of Tonggu is too complicated, we are new to it, this is also something that can't be helped, old Jack, don't blame yourself." โ
Everyone agreed, as long as they could comfort Lao Jie. Old Jack turned his face to wipe the tears from the corners of his eyes, turned his head and asked, "What about the captured captives?" Hear that he is the commander of this battle? โ
Barter nodded: "Well, it's not just the commander, he's also one of the major warlords of the RC!" The Boss is interrogating him. This battle is thanks to the boss! Originally, we couldn't stand it, but who knew that the boss actually knocked down the enemy commander! Coincidentally, the downed mechage landed on the deck of the Osiris. If it weren't for that, the outcome of today's battle would be difficult. โ
Old Jack: "The Great Warlord of the RC... Isn't it going to let this grandson go back without any? โ
"I won't let him go easily, at least now he is a suitable hostage, and he doesn't dare to act rashly under his men. And the reason for his attack on us is that he is interrogating. โ
"That's good... With such a valuable captive captured, the people who died in this battle did not die in vain. โ
Bart patted Lao Jie on the shoulder again: "These are a few good rests, when you recover from your injuries, you will still have to be responsible for reorganizing Team B, and new members will be selected from the fighter formation." โ
"Don't worry, I'm not going to be depressed. I will also take Muhammad and their ashes back to Mycenae, so that they can return home as heroes! โ
Hearing Old Jack like this, everyone present was emotional.
Yes, everyone is a "Mycenaean", who doesn't want to go home? Their hometown surrendered to HER, and they chose to fight against HER on Earth instead of helping HER. They are all "traitors" in their distant hometowns, and their families don't know what kind of situation they live in, and everyone has persevered under such mental pressure until now.
"In another month, when the Osiris completes the refit and leaves the earth, we must return to Mycenae and retake our homeland!" Bart.

Sergeant Anton saw the man in front of him named Francisco. Lรณpez's dead fat man looked like he was still a prisoner, and he couldn't help but be angry. But he still sat down patiently, and asked in a stern tone: "You confessed your identity, but why didn't you explain the reason for attacking the Osiris?" โ
Francisco had his hands tied, leaned back in his chair and held his big belly, glanced at Sergeant Anton's rank, and arrogantly: "Your sergeant, you are also worthy to interrogate me?" I tell you who I am, that is, that your highest ruler will come to me! I'm the Admiral of the New Republic of Gran Colombia! Commander-in-Chief of the North-Western Theater of Operations! The last time you're going to have to see me, do you understand? Get out! โ
As soon as Anton Lieutenant Morale didn't come out, he almost stood up and slapped the table. But he thought of how to sarcastically mock the admiral, and he: "That's right, I'm just a sergeant, but I shot you down." โ
Francisco's eyes widened and he asked in a skeptical tone, "You?" The laser that shot me down was fired from a long distance from the ground, and one of your sergeants can fly a mech with a laser weapon? How did you hit me from that distance? โ
Sergeant Anton smiled: "Although I have a low rank, everyone calls me White Eagle because I am good at sniping, so there is a special aircraft developed by the Star Alliance, of course, I don't expect the high-ranking admiral to hear my name." As for being able to hit you, it's actually simple. At that time, I saw a golden mantis flying on it, and other mantis would protect it if it was in danger. It's easy to tell that it's the enemy's narcissistic commander's car, and at the very least, it's the ace's, and if it can be shot down, it will definitely hit your morale greatly. At that time, my body could not move on the ground, but the shooting device was still usable, and your position happened to be covered by the maximum range of my laser sniper rifle, so naturally I would not let go of this opportunity. But after all, it's too far away, and I only hit you with the third shot. Admiral, if you fly a little higher, maybe you won't have to sit here. โ
Francisco never expected that it was his high-profile special machine that pitted him, and his momentum was greatly reduced, and he made up for himself: "When, of course, luck is also part of the situation. Luck is not here, I can only admit it. โ
"Since you've given in, can you tell me why you attacked us? Baron Humphrey on our ship had greeted all the warlords of the RC, but you fooled him. Who is behind you? Is it HER? โ
"Understand, I'm the Admiral of the New Republic of Gran Colombia! No one can tell me! โ
"Yes, Admiral. There are several warlords like you, there are many RCs. โ
"Bastard! You know what! We are descendants of the Lรณpez family! I'm here... Hum! Forget it, there's no need to talk to ants like you. Let me tell you, no one directs me. Your Osiris is more famous than a military strategist like me, I don't accept it! Only by defeating you can I get the fame I deserve, and everyone will know that there is such a number one person as me in South America! As for that Humphrey, he's just a broker, and he thinks he can tame me on behalf of the Moore Chamber of Commerce? It's a big deal, I don't do business with them anymore! โ
"What!? That's what it's all about!? โ
Sergeant Anton couldn't help but stand up after all, pointed at Francisco's nose and scolded: "Just to gain fame, you killed and injured dozens of us?!" You bastard!! โ
"What are you to scold me!? Call your captains! โ
At this moment, a soldier knocked on the door and came in and showed Sergeant Anton something with a tablet. After reading it, Anton's face turned from anger to joy, and he didn't wait for Francisco to ask: "It's a pity, Lord Admiral." โ
"What do you mean? Regret what? Tell you, I'm an important person in our country, don't act rashly, if anything bad happens to me..."
Anton shook his head: "No, no, no, we have never intended to be violent against you. Just sorry to inform you that you are no longer the admiral of the RC. โ
"Ah???h
"You have a Captain Homer under you, right? He returned to Paraguay with your ship and declared that you had committed treason, and he took your place. In other words, you are nothing now, and you can't go anywhere. โ
"What!?"
Anton directly showed him the news on the tablet, the fresh and hot news posted by the global news website. Francisco was like a bolt from the blue when he saw it, and he almost didn't fall, and he fell Sergeant Anton and was afraid that he couldn't help himself. He almost cried and muttered to himself, "Homer, that bastard! It's a shame that I trust him so much! This traitor with wolf ambition has usurped the hard work of the Lรณpez family for generations! He must have been waiting for my chance to dispatch the battleship! As long as he has a battleship, he can..."
"Stop, stop, I'm not interested in knowing what your men are trying to do to take your place. But I have to let you know that the reason why your men were able to rise to power so quickly was because of the support of the other big warlords in the RC. Because they don't want to offend the Moore Chamber of Commerce as much as you do, Baron Humphrey assures them that as long as they can get you out of power, the Moore Chamber of Commerce can continue to help the RC transit trade without being blamed. All these consequences are your own fault!! โ
Francisco fell to the ground, dejected, muttering to himself.
