222.The Death of the Minotaur
The battle situation took a turn for the worse, and the morale of the Federation fleet, which was already on the way to defeat, was greatly increased due to the sudden arrival of the expeditionary force.
Has anyone experienced it? Despair had enveloped him, and the scythe of death was at hand. But at this moment, the goddess of light extended her olive branch and brought hope to people in despair.
At this moment, what kind of potential will humanity burst out for the sake of immediate hope?
If nothing else, let's talk about one person's example. The 2008 earthquake, remember? There was a guy on the 21st floor who went down to the ground in less than a minute. If you do the math, it's about 3 seconds to go down the next level, just ask this speed, isn't it just a kind of human potential for survival? [I heard that there is a tap dance king, 35 times a second? ] Amazing! 】
The officers of the sons of Keha, including the Minotaur, understood the choice now before them: first, fight to the death! Anyway, the local Federation fleet has basically been disabled, as long as you increase your strength and die with the other party, it is not impossible.
The second one, naturally, is to find a way to break out, fortunately, Clladel is not particularly far away from the planet ZEN, and the Amazon's fleet is still intact, as long as it can retain its considerable strength, after returning to the planet ZEN and uniting with the Amazon, it can still confront the expeditionary force of the Federation.
The question is how to execute it!
Bang! - The Minotaur's flagship, after being shot by a Federation ship, had its side armor pierced, but it was lucky that it didn't hit the vital point, at least it didn't explode him on the spot.
"Bah, damn it!" Spit out a mouthful of water, Minotaur stabilized his body and asked, "How is the condition of the ship?" ”
"The side armor was damaged, and batteries 5 and 7 were blown away! The combat effectiveness of the ships has decreased by at least thirty percent! ”
Luckily, fortunately, it's a blessing in misfortune, if the spaceship doesn't use such a thing as cannonballs, otherwise the two batteries will be blown up, and God knows if the whole ship will be blown up together?
Fortunately, this ship also has an energy closed-circuit device, which is similar to a common socket protection system, and in the event of a problem such as energy overload, the energy circulation loop will be immediately cut off. Protecting the entire ship can continue to operate safely!
However, the battleship was missing two cannons, and a decrease in combat effectiveness was inevitable.
"Repair the damage immediately and close the nearby gate urgently!" Minotaur calmed down and kept giving orders: "Philip, Reinhardt, Jericho, now in the name of the Supreme Commander, I want you to lead the warship that is still in good condition, immediately turn around and leave, and return to the planet ZEN to join the Amazon!" ”
When the three of them heard this, they knew that the Minotaur was actually going to stay, of course, it was different. Said: "Are you crazy? You are our Supreme Commander, how can you stay? ”
They vied for the sake of being willing to do the work after the break, because they understood what the Minotaur meant. If he dies, the expedition will basically be considered a failure, or there may be bigger problems!
To know his identity, as well as the position of Minister of Defense of the new government of the son of Keha, even the meaning of this identity will definitely not allow him to make any mistakes.
"Don't fight! That's an order! "The Minotaur used his rank, his highest position, to suppress the other officers.
"Minotaur, are you commanding us to give up our brother?" Philip asked, "How many brothers did we have in the past when there was an incident on the planet Keha?" A whole 10,000 people! But now? ”
The other two were silent, but they both gritted their teeth tightly. How many people have died in these years of war? How many people died? How many are left now?
This is also something that the Minotaur has been going through all the way, and I believe he sees it very clearly. And the importance of his identity and status, with his presence, the military spirit is relatively stable. Besides, in the military, everyone has heard of the method of "losing the car to protect the handsome", but who has ever heard of "losing the handsome and protecting the car"?
But it was always his consideration, and Minotaur explained to the trio: "If I could, why wouldn't I choose it that way?" But as you have seen, my ship is damaged, so what is the use of going back? And there are many more here, there is no way to leave, brothers of the sons of Keha, once I run away to survive, will it be fair to them? ”
His thoughts now may be about the same as that of Stokoff at that time, right? Now there are many brothers of the sons of Keha, who have already taken over to fight the enemy, and there is no chance of escape.
However, as the supreme commander of the whole army, although it can be said that he made a strategic retreat in order to take into account the overall situation. But where is this placed among the other soldiers who are still fighting bloody battles?
What's more, will he be able to get away? You must know that in the battle of Blacksis, Stukov was killed. Completely and Minotaur, has the most direct relationship, where could he be spared?
If he chooses to escape, he will inevitably let Gerald directly lead the expeditionary force to pursue, and the most likely result is that no one can leave! Or even if it withdraws to the planet ZEN, there is a good chance that Amazon will not have time to defend itself. What if you encounter an unprepared attack that causes a series of routs?
If once the entire expeditionary army is allowed to produce a series of routs, it may not be a problem of expeditionary failure. Because this is likely to mark the loss of the Son of Keha, almost all of the elite fleet! What will be the consequences, I guess everyone can figure it out even if they use their butts, right?
Time is pressing, because Gerald commanded the expeditionary force and made a strategic encirclement posture, once the encirclement is completed, it basically means that this is a total annihilation!
Minotaur decisively ordered: "Withdraw, if you can keep a warship, at least you must ensure that you have enough warships, so that the Amazon and the Federation can maintain a strategic confrontation posture!" ”
He knew that if he was killed, he believed that Ishtar would get the news soon!
"We got it." The three of them were silent for a moment and said an unlucky word: "Do you have any last words?" ”
Last words, yes, they knew that the Minotaur would not surrender, and the only result of his stay was death!
Minotaur's lips squirmed, and a big man couldn't help crying: "Tell Amazon, tell her, I love her!" ”
"Guaranteed to bring!"
The three of them left only four words, and with the remaining ships with combat power, they forcibly activated the turnaround drive and left.
A last word with eternal regret, because the Minotaur did not personally confess to the Amazon, saying: "I love you!" ”
