Chapter 529, Flying to a New Purpose (Part II)
Zoro held out for another hour before one of his arms was chopped off by the clone troopers and his other hand was broken by a sniper bullet. But there was no fear of death in his eyes, nor any hesitation, only the madness and ** of battle. It wasn't until he was exhausted that he understood the true meaning of battle, and he really experienced the hearty battle.
At the last moment, he seemed to really see his god of battle beckoning to him. The rain hit him in the face, keeping him awake in the frenzy. Sweat mixed with rain slid down his face. Sauron bit the lightsaber in his mouth, and he struggled to stick out his tongue and lick the salty liquid, letting out a low beast-like roar.
Inside the frigate Eighty-two, First Officer Davis picked up his pistol with a trembling hand. The gun was a gift from his beloved captain, and it was a treasure he always carried. He was the only one on the Eight Liang, and the rest of the people paid with their lives to protect the battleship, and everyone persevered to the end, and now, he was the only one.
When the captain leaves the battleship, the first mate becomes the temporary captain. At this time, Sauron was on the island outside the ship, but he would never return. Davis looked at his beloved captain with two lines of warm tears in his eyes.
Bang~!
Moses and the clones quickly captured most of the warships. After just a few hours of fighting, the bodies of the Union soldiers on the battleship and the landing ship were completely cleaned up.
Looking at the captain's seat of the blood-stained frigate, Moses' heart swelled like a wave.
Beside Moses, a clone walked up to him. The clone, who named himself David, followed Moses from the very beginning of the battle.
"Take everything you've prepared, we're ready to leave." Moses said, looking at the gray sky. He sees an infinite future, a path that will allow all clones to survive.
Hoverbikes in the sky began to land into the battleship. More and more clones are emerging from the sea. Begin to board the battleship. A huge container suddenly surfaced from the bottom of the sea, and a dozen clones took ropes and towed trailers from the cargo hold of a battleship and towed the container onto the battleship.
Then, another container appeared. More than 20 containers were hit by different warships in succession, and one was also loaded on the 82.
The container is loaded into the hold and secured. More clones began to board the ship.
Earlier Moses said in his speech that most of the clones were involved in the battle just now. Most of the clones who have had a chance to survive until now have not undergone much combat training. Clones who can't participate in the war. Moses left behind nearly a million clone soldiers in order to lure the Marines into Paradise Island. And the main reason is that they simply do not have time to evacuate from Paradise Island.
Lide's plan for Moses was to transfer the clones through a sewer that led to the bottom of the sea, while attracting the main force of the Federation army to Paradise Island. The Marines who entered the maintenance tunnel were originally in the right place, but they were unable to transmit the information due to signal interference, and instead fell into an ambush.
The clones that came out of the sewers gave the Federation fleet a good raid, and the small number of soldiers left on the island and in the battleship were quickly suppressed and dealt with, and the gates of Paradise Island had long been closed.
Now there are more than a million people who need to board the ships, and even if more than a hundred warships are full, it will not be enough for them all to escape. Now the question is who will go and who will stay.
Moses picked up the intercom of the eight-tael. Told all the clones about the choices they needed to make. Surprisingly, the clones did not rush to the battleship to fight for their tickets, but looked at each other, at the faces like themselves, at their companions who had lived with them for a year or two.
"I'll stay!" One of the clones raised his hand and walked towards the entrance to Paradise Island.
"I'll stay too! I'm going to take out a few more of those guys. The other clone also raised his hand.
Like dominoes, one by one the clones gave up boarding the ship, leaving the opportunity to their companions.
Moses and David, who were standing on the bridge of the Eight Taels, watched the scene. I was also very moved. The clones never knew what freedom was, but gave it up when they were about to be free.
Moses suddenly said earnestly, "We still have a long way to go. There are many unforeseen things to come. ”
"What are you worried about?" David heard the meaning of Moses' words and asked.
"I would say, in the end, we get there, I mean, if we do get to a planet that works for us. Do you think they're going to make us make a house there? If there are original inhabitants there. They will see us as intruders. There will be more wars. ”
"They don't have a choice, we're strong." David said.
"We are strong, and that's because we are numerous. But it's also because we're big like a race that I'm more worried. ”
"Why?"
"You see so many people, you know what I'm worried about?"
"But we all have the same goal."
"And now it is. But what happens when we stop and don't have to run away? If no one is chasing us, no one is fighting us. Will they still be the way they are now? ”
"Why not?"
"You've seen that stuff, you've seen what humans do. If there are no external enemies, they will fight each other and fight each other. I'm worried that if we end up like that, will it be like that? ”
"And what are you going to do?"
"I don't know yet." Moses shook his head, all he had to think about now was how to get their clones out of the planet and go to the place they said they were talking about and build their own home.
"The landing is complete!" David's words brought Moses back from his contemplation.
"Okay. According to this coordinate setting, we set sail. Moses clenched his hands into fists and said firmly. Now is not the time to hesitate and fear, but to set out for their freedom.
"Attention all warships! Brothers! We're not slaves anymore! Yes, but we are not completely free either. You have given me your trust, and now I give you faith. Follow me, and you will be truly free. Don't be afraid, just follow me, for God is with me! God is with me. ”
Moses' words echoed in every warship, inspiring the clones.
"Set sail and go at maximum speed!" (To be continued.) )
