Section 528 The Quagmire of Greed X (19)
"Do they know we're going to attack?"
In the distance, brief fortifications and outposts were erected around the men of Sibia's team, some with simple weapons in their hands.
On Allen's orders, Gad hurried back with the outgoing team, preparing to attack Sibia's team, which had colluded with DTPH and killed eight of his own members. But after approaching the other party's camp, he did not attack immediately, but asked the people around him like this.
"Probably not." Etter said. "Judging by the way they look, they should just be guarding against possible attacks--- those beasts."
"Yes, we can do it." Swell said. "The effect of the curtain is still a while away, enough for us to get close to the past and launch a sudden attack."
"Of course, if you plan to err on the side of caution and wait for reinforcements from the camp, there is no problem." Etter said.
"It's safer that way." Swell said. "Although with our firepower, we should be able to take down these people. Unexpectedly, we were kind enough to take them in, and they dared to murder our team members! ”
"What do you think?" Gad put his mind to the bracelet. "I don't think there's anything wrong with attacking the past, and it can solve the problem of 'resurrection'."
"It's not that simple." A voice came from the bracelet and said. "What if it's a trap?"
"Huh?" Gad wondered. "Impossible."
"It's not cowardice." The voice on the bracelet said. "I suspect there may be something wrong with the attack itself."
"What are you suspecting?" Gard asked. "Is it possible that my regimental commander will collude with the enemy and take the opportunity to kill me?"
"How so?" The voice in the bracelet was a little agitated. "That's not what I'm talking about."
"What the hell is that? Thinking too much about it is not necessary. Gard was getting impatient.
"Think more and pay more attention to all aspects of the factors, in order to win at the minimum cost, and only then can you be considered responsible for your subordinates...."
"It's no problem to fight and win." Gard said. "What's there to hesitate about?"
"Are you sure it's really not a trap?" The voice in the bracelet asked again.
"Well, I can't be sure." There was some helplessness in Gad's voice. "But what is there to doubt?"
No more sound came from the bracelet.
"Then...," as if he had finally made up his mind, Gad was about to make a decision. But before giving the order, he looked at the two people on the left and right again. "Etter, Swell, you can be sure that the defense of the other party's camp is very weak, and we will have no problem taking it, right?"
The two scouts looked at each other, their faces full of helplessness. "Yes, sir, no problem!"
"Then..."
Gad raised his hand, but after a moment, he put it down. Put your consciousness into the bracelet again. "What the hell are you afraid of?"
"I'm thinking." The voice on the bracelet said. "First of all, why did your regimental commander attack these allies?"
"Didn't he say that? It is suspected that these people may have colluded with the enemy to cause the previous murders. Gard said.
"Then why didn't he do it in the veil?" The bracelet said. "As long as he says that in the veil, can't he kill these people? Why do you have to let these people come out and do it again? ”
"Makes sense.... Are you suspecting that he may have refused to take responsibility afterwards by saying that I killed these people in private? Gad asked.
"yes." There was a soft sigh from the bracelet. "If you kill your allies like this, will the rest of the team be satisfied? If others are not satisfied, will Captain Allen be held responsible? ”
"This .....," Gard hesitated. Definitely not. ”
"So sure?"
"Yes. Previously, there were several suitable teams that could be co-opted, but Arnold gave up. He is happy with the current situation .... Now, if I follow Alan's orders and kill all the people of Sibia like this--- Arnold will not let me go if he returns. ”
"When the time comes, will Eren put the blame on you?" Bracelet asked.
"He's going to do it." Gard said. "Alan was a very good and capable person, but he was never known for his willingness to take responsibility."
"Alan just gave you verbal orders, right?"
"That's right." Gard said. "That is, very dangerous..."
"Then why don't you want a written order? Or, before the battle begins, ask someone else to confirm the order for you? ”
"Great idea!"
Gard looked at the two of them. "Etter, Swell, please report what you have detected to Captain Allen. Ask him again if you want to attack. If he's sure he's going to do it, I'd like to get a written authorization. ”
"Well... Good. ”
The two scouts said this, but when they went to the side to report, their expressions were not very friendly.
After they left, the voice on the bracelet rang out.
"Will he give you the order to attack?"
"Whatever he does." Gard said. "If he doesn't, I'll say I don't see any signs of murder of our teammates. Given that they had left the Veil and their past alliances, it was decided not to attack for the time being. Then I followed the original order and went back to attack DTPH's camp! ”
"When I go back, Alan won't give me a good look at best, or give me a little trouble... I can handle it. But if you listen to him and carry it out, then maybe it's a big trouble! If Arnold gets angry, it's not something that can be solved by simply apologizing..."
At this, Gard shuddered, as if he remembered something.
"You're right, at this time, you can't go wrong with being careful."
"But what if he gives the order?" The spirit in the bracelet asked again.
"Then you can only attack by order." Gard said. "But before the attack, I would like to tell you: this was conveyed by Etter and Sver, and came from the order of Commander Allen; Also, although I didn't want to attack my former allies at all, the regimental commander gave the order, and there was no choice but to take action. ”
"In that case, it should be fine." The spirit in the bracelet said. "It won't be like I used to be."
"You used to... What happened to you before? Gad asked.
"I'll tell you later." The spirit in the bracelet replied. "It's actually similar to what happened to you. This kind of negligence in the past is the reason why I failed and can only remain in a small bracelet! ”
"Hehehe." Gad laughed. "Don't worry, as long as the conditions are right, I will definitely help you recover your original body...."
While their conversation was about to continue, Etter ran over.
The regimental commander confirmed. He said.
Gad looked at him and was silent for a moment.
"Okay." They then walked over to the group, and Gard briefly said what he had just prepared.
"Anyway, that's it. If I lied, Etter and Sver would expose me. But you all saw it, and I confirmed it again later, that the order was conveyed by them. ”
The members of the regiment all looked at the two scouts. Seeing this, the two had to speak.
"That's right, it's the order of the regimental commander."
"That's right."
"Alright, while the effect of the curtain hasn't faded yet, let's get closer." Gad waved his hand and said. "Get ready to do it!"
