Chapter 147: Bad News for the Sea Emperor
(Let's temporarily shift four times today, I haven't rested too much in the past two days.) Especially last night, I stayed up late and didn't sleep well at night, so I was a little sleepy all day today. When I was on the last chapter, I fell asleep for more than ten minutes and started to add more chapters of the monthly pass tomorrow.,In the case of enough monthly passes.,In the future, try to keep the update of about 6 chapters a day.。 )
Emily, who was scolding, changed into a set of clothes in good condition, and cast her eyes on the metal building that was still in place, and it seemed that this thing had stopped her and Sharp just now. Just as she was about to make a move, the metal building exploded, scattering scum all over the place.
At this time, the words "apply for support" also spat out from the mouth of Sharp, who was not far behind Emily, and made her fall silent.
Sometimes people in the military department would rather fail the mission than apply for support. Because there is no shame in failing a mission, everyone has a time when a mission fails. But applying for support is different, which means the incompetence of the task performer.
It's not hard to accept failure, but most people can't admit that they're incompetent.
"Let's count the remaining numbers and see if there's a chance to make a decision." Emily still had a hint of luck in her heart.
"This mission has failed, and it is just a waste of time to continue to consume, so if you apply for support, you can complete the mission sooner." Sharp put forward his own thoughts, "I've thought about it, this time, I will carry it alone, and it won't involve you." At the end of this mission, I will also resign from the rank of general and retire from the military department. Dedicated to the study of the way of the sword. ”
"Sharp, you don't have to do that. Applying for support is not a glamorous task, but this is a tricky task. The lord of the kingdom must be able to understand it. Emily thought that Sharp's idea of resigning was due to the blow of the mission.
"The idea of quitting my job has been there since I gained a new ability yesterday." Sharp's once-year-old poker face smiled again. "Previously, the position in the military department was a great responsibility for me, and everything was put first by me. But now, this position has become a burden for me, and I have to let go in order to go further. ”
"You gained that legendary ability?" Emily asked with some urgency when she heard this.
"yes. I didn't expect to get the ability I dreamed of after a defeat. Sharp shook his head and smiled bitterly, "This is fate."
"If the lord of the country and the marshal know the truth, they will not let you go." Although Emily didn't know how terrifying this legendary ability was, the ability that all the sword path powerhouses in the cosmic sea dreamed of was naturally not weak.
"So, I want you to keep this matter a secret for me." Sharp told the secret, apparently because he trusted Emily.
"I can help you keep it secret, but these video recordings. You'd better find someone you can trust to deal with. Emily gestured to two monitors not far away.
"If you don't say it, I forgot that there is still this stubble." Sharp remembered that there was surveillance nearby, and he looked down at the corpses scattered on the ground, and continued. "With so many people dying this time, it's clearly a major decision-making mistake. If I don't fight, the future of Walt's child will be completely ruined. I just needed to find an excuse to quit the military. When the time comes, you just put the full responsibility on me. ”
"I see," Emily said no more. She knew that Sharp had already made up her mind, and it didn't make much sense to dissuade her. And Sharp does. also helped himself and Walter out of the siege. Generally speaking, decision-makers are jointly and severally responsible, but Sharp, as the oldest existence among the three, has the most right to speak. There is also the possibility that he will make some decisions directly without going through the two of them. So this gives Emily and Walter an excuse to shirk their responsibilities.
"You guys take off your mechs and count the number of people left. Give the rest of the people a decanting agent and let them rest. After the statistics are done, report the data to me. Sharp shouted at the remaining dozen or so mech pilots not far away, and there were only a few people in the entire port who were still awake.
"Yes!" The dozen or so pilots saluted, then quickly opened the hatch of the mecha and climbed out of it. After discussing it around and assigning tasks, they dispersed.
After about half an hour, a young warrior reappeared in front of Sharp, who was one of the dozen or so mech pilots.
"Report to my lord, the statistics have been completed. There are currently 1,263 survivors, including all of them, of whom 822 are uninjured and the rest are in varying degrees of injury, and the medical team is assisting in the treatment of the wounded. ”
"I know it, you should rest early." Sharp waved his hand, even though he had already planned to take the blame and resign, but how to write a report on this incident was a headache.
"Only a quarter of the survivors are a major strategic mistake. This time it's a bit troublesome" Emily is even more of a big one, Sharp can throw away the burden and leave, but after Sharp resigned, he became the highest person responsible for this incident, and there is still a mess to clean up.
"There should be a special investigation team to review this incident, and it will indeed be more troublesome." Sharp also nodded, "Let's find a time to talk about it, don't slip out, or you will be implicated." By the way, that boy at Walter is fine, right? ”
"He didn't have anything to do, he just drank too much and fell asleep on the ground, and it is estimated that he has no idea what happened tonight." Emily lamented, "Ignorance is a blessing sometimes. ”
"Okay, you can also go and rest, whether you can sleep or not, it's good to replenish your strength." Sharp said, walking toward the Golden Eagle, "I'm going to sleep too." ”
After a great victory, Gooding and the others returned to the hotel, and the others dispersed early, and many fled to other cities overnight.
Back at the hotel, Gooding asked about everyone's condition.
"Lily, you're fine, are you?" His biggest concern was Liliat's physical condition. The consequences of an overload of mental forces are much more serious than the overload of the body.
"It's okay, before the mental power is overloaded. The Sea Emperor reminded me. And your side ended the fighting very quickly, and it didn't affect me at all. Liliat shook her head. With that helmet's amplification, her hypnotic backlash was much better.
"Where's Bigg? Are there any injuries? Sharp makes me feel like I'm really getting stronger. Gooding voiced his feelings.
"I'm fine," said Big, who found no wounds on himself.
"Robert also made a move this time, thank you, if it weren't for you, I guess our mission wouldn't have gone so smoothly." Gooding also knew that without Robert's help, there would be at least two obstacles for himself and others. "Have you recovered all those props?"
"As a team member, I deserve to contribute." There was still no mood in Robert's voice. "With the exception of the entry-level war turret, all other items have been recovered. I set that war battery to self-destruct after completing the mission. ”
"I just got bad news," at this time, the Sea Emperor suddenly spoke.
"What I want to hear more is good news." Gooding muttered quietly.
"Sharp, they have decided, apply for reinforcements, he will report early tomorrow morning." The news brought by the Sea Emperor was indeed a bolt from the blue.
Gu Ding, who originally thought that this matter would come to an end and that the people in the military department would stop for a while, did not expect that things would be like this.
"Those interstellar pirates you brought with you killed too many members of the military department. This time, their mortality rate was as high as more than 70 percent, and only a quarter of the total number of people survived. Encounter this kind of thing. The people in the military department usually have only two results, one is to admit that the mission failed and return to the military headquarters with their tails between their legs. The second is to apply for support and have the headquarters send more people to solve the incident. In general. Most people will choose the first option, because the second option will be looked down upon. ”
"Why do you have to report to the headquarters? They can choose to hide it and continue to consume it with us. Hunt us down slowly. There are two generals, and sooner or later they will be able to complete the task. Gooding felt that was an option.
"If the death toll is less than 20 percent. What you say is indeed the best way to deal with it. But the death toll in this incident exceeded 70 percent, if it was concealed and not reported. If detected by the military and the federal government, the consequences can be severe. "There is even a possibility that the federal government will go to federal court for 'crimes against humanity.'" ”
"Crimes against humanity" are actually just to protect themselves and not report it, but to be detained with such a big hat, Gooding couldn't help but mutter, "There are so many rules in the military department!" ”
"Hey, now is not the time to talk about these topics," Liliat tapped the table with her knuckles, "once the military reinforcements arrive, they will surely go crazy to sweep all the corners of this planet that can hide, and then we will really have nowhere to run." ”
"So, the wisest move is to leave the planet before the military reinforcements arrive." The Sea Emperor put forward his opinion. "It's not difficult to infiltrate the harbor, it's not difficult to steal the ship, and it's not difficult to close the shield of the sky dome and the armor-piercing cannon in the harbor. But the biggest problem now is those interceptors, as long as they see any interstellar pirate spaceship, they will definitely shoot it down at the first time, and even the warning will be waived. ”
"Sea Emperor, can't you destroy the systems of those three interceptors?" Gooding asked.
"These three interceptor ships are the Young Dragon, and this type of interceptor ship was designed by the designers of the military department to simulate mechanical civilization, and manual operation is retained, and the priority of manual operation is higher than that of system operation. If I attack their system, they can switch to manual operation with complete effortlessness. "The Sea Emperor has already probed the internal situation of these three Baby Dragons, "The reason why the Young Dragons were chosen is that the people in the military department should have also considered the possibility of us hacking the interceptor ship." ”
"If that doesn't work, let's pay some mercenaries to take out those three interceptors from the outside, right?" Gooding suddenly thought of a rather strange solution. I've only heard of mercenaries from the Federation Army and mercenaries from interstellar pirates, but this is the first time everyone has heard of it. (To be continued......)
