"Hey." Ral, who was lying in the foxhole, suddenly felt someone knock on his shoulder, and the voice of Deputy Company Commander Jin came from the communicator, "Thank you for your hard work, how is the situation?" ”

"The same old way." Ral gestured to the restless swarm in the distance, "Still looking at us in a daze." ”

Kim crouched down slightly, using the power armor's visor-scaling function to observe the swarm army hiding outside the range of siege tanks in the distance with Ral. Once they had established a defensive line in the canyon, the insects never returned to attack the defense.

"Still no movement?"

"Well, it was the same before Miles and I changed shifts, and it's been more than an hour now, and those bugs still haven't planned to hit me. I guess I don't want to waste any more troops before the decisive battle. Ral casually took out a cigarette from the storage box of his power armor and handed it to Kim, "Do you want one?" ”

"No, thank you." Kim rejected his kindness, "Besides, I can't smoke it if you give it to me now, I don't want to open my visor to smell the sulfur...... This is the wine you want. Kim said as he placed a bottle on the ground next to him.

“…… I asked Miles to get it for me, you ......."

"I ran into it on the way, and I brought it to you along the way. It's not cheap, where did you get it? Kim tapped his fingers lightly on the bottle.

"It's been a long time ago, remember the last time we went to tie up that Yumayan's acting speaker? I got it from the inventory of the space station - the personal inventory of Mr. Deputy Speaker. To be honest, I don't know the name of this wine, but since it is the stock of those politicians, it will definitely not be cheap. I'm going to keep this mission over and get it out if I survive. ”

"Stupid guy, what's the use of smoothing a bottle of wine, Douglas ordered an ancient piece that time, and the Port of the Dead sold for 30,000 credits...... That guy has been thinking about buying a destroyer as a car to go to Terrador after he retires. Kim couldn't help but laugh and scolded, "Next time you remember—"

Before Jin finished speaking, the communicator of the two suddenly sounded A6's voice: "All command officers at the company level and above immediately go to the conference room of the command center of the unit to which you belong to standby." Repeat, all command officers at the company level and above immediately go to the command center conference room of the unit to which you belong to stand by, this is an emergency assembly. ”

After a brief pause of a few seconds, Ral looked up at Kim, who could only shrug his shoulders at him, then grabbed the rifle he had thrown on the ground next to him and quickly got up and ran backwards, leaving Ral to continue to stare at the swarm in the distance.

When Kim was gone, Ral picked up the bottle and poured himself a sip, followed by a long burp.

“…… What a bullshit errand......"

“…… What a bullshit errand......"

Black Rose muttered in a low voice, and Yang Yi had to gently nudge her twice with his arm to signal her to stop talking. At the map table in the middle of the room, A6, A1, and a few others were still arguing about the defense plan - they had been arguing for more than half an hour.

Because this should be Charl's last battle, all the people present should be involved, they are here for this after all. So Renault specially called them in charge of the battle and planning to the conference room of the newly completed planetary fortress on the surface to discuss the plan face-to-face, and then the scene in front of him appeared.

On the Imperial side, the main person in charge of the battle planning was the staff of the Fleet Staff, who had written the draft plan for the attack on Char. These staff officers believe that the guard artifact cannot be trapped in the canyon, but should rely on the canyon, rely on the advantages of the platform to conduct a movement war with the swarm, and contain and consume and wait for the opportunity to annihilate the swarm through large-scale movement warfare. Given that the wormway network has been destroyed by Renault, this option is feasible.

However, both A1 and A6 consider this to be undoubtedly stupid. They already have an absolute disadvantage in numbers, obviously they have the terrain advantage of the canyon, so why bother to give up this advantage and run out to fight some kind of sports war with the swarm, it is a wise move to build fortress fortifications and defend the canyon.

The Rangers, on their part, have a different opinion, with Matt and Renault believing that they should use the artifacts in the canyon to attract the main swarm and then send elite troops to raid the main swarm lair. The main source of strength of the swarm is the hive, and it is impossible for them to give up the hive area, so that they can use the advantage of orbital control to achieve the goal of depleting and dragging down the swarm by constantly attacking each hive area. Without the insect network, the swarm can only rely on itself to carry out strategic transfers.

And then...... And then it's been arguing until now.

As for the rest...... Black Rose is a pirate leader, she doesn't care about this kind of thing, of course it's good to have it, and she can fight if she doesn't, just because A1 and A6 are their own people after all, even if they don't speak, they have to stand by and see support; Hydra is similar, but the bigger reason for her is because she knows that she doesn't have enough weight, so it's better to watch the battle honestly; Talis and Shantila didn't care about the human plan at all, they only listened to Yang Yi's arrangement, and they didn't even come to the scene; Yang Yi himself didn't want to get involved in this controversy at all, at most he could be a bystander, so as not to cause a commotion.

As a result of the stalemate, the A6 proposed to ask the mid- and high-ranking officers for advice, or to hold a secret ballot to determine the final tactical course as soon as possible, and since the three sides were deadlocked, they quickly agreed to the proposal. Of course, voting is unreliable, and in that case it is actually equivalent to having more officers, but it is always right to ask as many trustworthy people as possible.

After an intermission of about an hour, all three parties returned to the conference room in a gloomy manner—without even thinking about it, their ideas were probably refuted by the officers below. Then they quickly came to a consensus that they couldn't convince each other, so they should each act with their own tactical actions.

"Forehead......" Yang Yi couldn't help but pat his forehead. The Black Rose and Hydra next to them also sighed helplessly.

As for what Yang Yi thinks?

His idea is also very simple, and it is different from others: "flawless" weapons are overrated, and a large number of good brothers who can be used can lead our army to victory......
