Chapter 111: Blackmail
Shorten sat in the conference room, his hands on his forehead, frowning, exhausted. Sitting next to Shortton was Lalo, the only one of the six vice-captains who was okay. Dias and Luzso were seriously injured, and Assia stayed by Dias's side. The two vice-captains, Akay and Waqing, were captured, leaving only Lalo himself.
Whether it's Shotton or Lalo, they've been silent since they entered the room, not knowing what to say, pinning their hopes on the home team?
Shorten wiped his face, he hadn't had a moment off in the past few days.
Sure enough, there were still fewer people in Team 6. The former captain of the Sixth Squadron is a very strong person, but he is also very independent, in fact, although the Sixth Squadron was small in the year, the reason why he did not flick his tail in the ten squadrons in the vanguard was because of the original captain of the Sixth Squadron, Seru's personal ability was too strong and comprehensive, so that many things in the Sixth Squadron were done by Seru, because other people's work efficiency was not as high as Seru, and Seru was a person who paid great attention to efficiency, which also developed the dependence of many people in the Sixth Fleet.
After Thur was transferred to the home team and Shotton took over as captain, the shortcomings of the Sixth Squadron finally became apparent. Thankfully, there was Dias, who was a good man to look at, and the time Shotton took over quickly provided some people to fill the huge void caused by Theroux's promotion. Until the arrival of Xilin's group of newcomers, Shawton has always been full of confidence, but in the past few days, Shawton has hesitated, and a "poisonous fang" has forced them to such a field, Shawton really doesn't know what to do, and even at this time, he doesn't even have an idea to share the burden.
At this time, the doorbell of the conference room rang, Shorten called up the display screen, saw Xilin standing outside the door, paused, sighed, and pressed the button to open the door of the conference room.
Shotton gestured to the chair next to him, "Sit." ”
Cillin pulled over the chair and sat down, looked at the vice-captain Lalo, and then at the tired Shoton, and said loudly: "Can you tell me what the hell is going on?" ”
Shotton's hand was removed from his forehead, and a monitor was called up, moving to Cillin, "This is the image of that time. With that, Shotton was silent.
Xilin looked at the displayed images, from the appearance of the combat starships, to the starships and fighters on both sides began to collide, the people who were exploring the planet began to urgently return under the cover of sending fighters, the most obvious is the suicide impact of the "fangs", the collision of the fighters is like fireworks suddenly blooming in the night sky, with helplessness and tragedy, Xilin can feel everyone's mood at that time, anyone who faces a group of madmen will not be better, the usual strategy, the usual skills, for this group of madmen really does not have much effect.
The "fanged" people, with experience and technology, coupled with that "crazy" energy, make even people who just look at the image have an unbelievable feeling. No wonder neither the army nor the hunter regiment are willing to face the "fangs", the "fangs" can afford to go crazy, but they can't afford to go crazy.
In order to avoid repeating the mistakes of the past, the fighters sent by the six teams are relatively far apart, and it is easier to avoid any emergencies, and they will not be thrown shock wave bombs like Yu Shengtian. However, the people with "fangs" don't seem to be ready to use shock bombs at all this time, and the non-stop indiscriminate attacks and suicide crashes really make people feel very depressed.
Then, the lucky ones returned to the starship without any problems, while the unlucky ones had stayed on the planet forever, and some of them were intercepted and captured by the "fangs".
Dias and Yudi were on the lucky side, but that luck also came at a heavy cost.
From the beginning of watching this video from Cillin, Shorten and Lalo have been observing Cillin's expression, but to their surprise, Cillin's expression has not changed from beginning to end, not even murderous......
You must know that after Shorten transmitted this image to Bart, in the video where Bart replied, even if it was just an image, Shorten felt the killing intent of Bart and Somba Leruo, and the young man in front of him was terrifyingly calm.
After watching the video, Cillin turned his head and asked Shotton, "What happened to the captured group?" ”
Those who are familiar with the "poisonous fangs" know that the poisonous fangs basically do not do such a thing as "captivity", and even if the "captives" are caught, they will be tortured and killed one by one, but the strange thing is that so far no information has been received about torture and killing.
Shotton habitually tapped his fingers on the table, thinking for a moment, as if considering how to say this.
"Originally, the people of the 'poisonous fangs' were also ready to torture and kill them, but they knew about those energy ores and were ready to blackmail. They just told us to wait for the announcement. ”
Once upon a time, the prestige of the four major hunter groups, not to mention the military and political aspects, even other hunter groups would more or less sell some face, when was it forced to do this job? Also blackmail! Shorten felt a deep sense of guilt, whether it was for his teammates who had died, for Dias and others in the hospital bed, or for the entire Pioneer. It was a deep wound.
Cillin understands that the people of the "fangs" know that the energy ore does not mean that there are traitors in the team, as long as they are people who have not received special training, there are many ways to get them to tell some secret information, not to mention the "fangs" and other crazy people who have all kinds of means, they definitely have more desperate means to let those who are captured tell the secret without being aware of it.
"Where did they go?"
"I don't know." Shotton shook his head, there were too many things on the starship after the war, and there were hostages on the side of the "fangs", the "fangs" did not allow them to follow, and Shoton did not let people follow, he knew that once the people of the "fangs" found out that they were secretly following, the more than thirty lives did not know how many were left.
"What do you mean, Captain?" Cillin asked again.
"Bart already knows the situation, and it just so happens that the home team also has a follow-up force that is heading to the green planet to station, he told us to wait first, and when the follow-up force arrives, some people will come to support us."
The people of the four major hunter regiments all know that the detachment and the home team are not the same concept, the detachment is a place to test people and test people, and only those who choose well can enter the main fleet. Every detachment will not want to ask the home team for help, so it will show a message that their detachment is not good, just like a child who has not grown up, and must have parents come forward if they encounter difficulties and cannot solve them by themselves. But for the sake of the Sixth Fleet, Shotton sent a message to Bart about the situation. Even if Bart was comforted that the "fangs" were a special group, not something that ordinary detachments could resist, Shorton just felt panicked in his heart, and when he saw the wreckage still floating outside the starship, and when he thought of the team members lying on the hospital bed, Shotton felt deeply tired.
"If there is any information about the blackmail, I hope the captain can explain it."
Cillin stood up and was about to leave. Suddenly, the emergency communicator next to Shotton sounded: "Captain, an unmanned transport plane is flying over!" There are also unknown signals! ”
