Chapter 923: First Formal Contact, Pyrrhic Victory

"Damn!"

Yang Hui slammed his fist on the armrest of the seat, the [Daybreak Gundam] was the least damaged, and he hurried out after only carrying out the simplest emergency repairs, but as soon as he attacked, he saw that the [Snake King] had survived under the light of the Genesis, and his mind was all occupied by a thought, that is, this [Snake King] must not be allowed to leave alive!

But helpless and unwilling, [Snake Egg] and [Python] stopped at all costs, so that the Prometheus Legion lost this excellent opportunity, and could only watch as the [Snake King] retreated into the FOLD jump tunnel and disappeared from sight.

"Yang Hui, [Snake Egg] and [Python] have also begun to retreat."

"Hunt down! How much can be left! ”

"Understood!" XN

Through this battle, the people of the Prometheus Legion fully realized the great threat of the [Devouring Snake], no matter whether the [Devouring Snake] that attacked them this time was all or not, and how many parts of the [Devouring Snake] were killed by them, but being able to kill one by one is not only to weaken the enemy's vital combat power, but also to vent the unwillingness and anger in their hearts.

"What about Vajra in the rear?" Yang Hui drove the [Daybreak Gundam] to chase down the retreating [Body Devouring Snake], while asking about the situation in the rear, Vajra's threat is not small, at first he was full of confidence in Genesis, after all, gamma-ray bursts are the nemesis of all life, and the killing effect directly acts on the cells, which is a killing move that cannot be defended.

But now...... With the precedent of [Snake King], Yang Hui lost this self-confidence.

"The Vajra army was 80% wiped out by Genesis, and the remaining remnants have begun to retreat, because Genesis was used before the battle, so there were no casualties in the rear fleet."

"No need to pursue, let them guard the rear of the ship."

For the [Devouring Snake], Yang Hui adopted the strategy of annihilating them all and leaving no room for anything, after all, this was a clear enemy, and there was no possibility of communication.

But Vajra is different, Vajra is an ally that can be won over, and does not need to resort to extreme tactics, as long as it can be repulsed.

"Understood."

The battle soon came to an end, with the first official duel between the Prometheus Legion and the [Body Devouring Serpent], and the first official contact with the true enemy of the Prometheus Fortress, which ended in the victory of the Prometheus Legion and the Prometheus Fortress.

Although it was a victory, it was also a pyrrhic victory.

The damage rate of the fleet located directly in front reached 12%, and the casualties of the MS troops were 15%, which is not big if you just look at the numbers, and it is not even comparable to the war with the ELS.

But to be clear, in the war with ELS, almost all the soldiers who died were retained by ELS after death because they had brain quantum waves, and now the bodies created for them by ELS continue to live, and only a few people who cannot die without brain quantum waves at all.

And this time the battle, to be dead is to be really dead.

Moreover, the combat power of the Prosmi Legion now far exceeds that of the beginning, and even used one of the final hole cards, the Genesis, and several Genesis were hit at the same time, but they failed to kill a [Snake King]!

It's not a pyrrhic victory, what is it?

"The list of the dead has been counted."

In the resident office of the 25th Boat Regiment on the main island, Yang Hui took the list of the dead handed by Bucky Lulu with a calm face, and looked carefully from top to bottom, he wanted to memorize every name on it in his mind.

"What about the list of the seriously wounded?" It took an hour to read the list of the dead, Yang Hui asked.

"Here." Bucky Lulu handed another list to Yang Hui and reported, "The Legion's medical department is fully operational, and the treatment sequence is arranged according to the severity of the wounded, and it is expected that all of them will recover within a week." ”

On the battleships of the Prometheus Legion, the [Hedgehog-class] is equipped with 2 medical cabins, 4 [White Tiger class], and 8 [Kirin-class], and at this time, all the medical cabins are operating 24 hours a day, treating the wounded with all their might.

"Well......" Similarly, Yang Hui didn't miss a single name, he didn't know everyone in the Prometheus Legion, but on this list of serious injuries, he saw many names that he was familiar with.

For example, Christina Makenji and her husband Barnard Watzman, who were brought out by hand.

Cabriel Calcia of the Cyclops Squad.

Gundam Zhang Wufei of W World.

The three Aub sisters, Majura Rabat, Asaki Caldwell, and Julie Wood Nien.

Yang Hui's eldest nephew, Andrei Sminov.

Carrousel of the Martian Pirates and Yuwen Fei, an Overrun Hunter.

Nourba Sino, Chad Chaddan, Dante Mogulo.

Colonelia's loyal knights, Gilbert, Dalton.

Orpheus von Ze of the Twelve Zodiacs and Jeremia Goldbald.

……

This is only the list of seriously wounded, not all the wounded, this battle, except for the ace pilots of the TOP level, are more or less wounded.

Looking at the silent Yang Hui, Bucky Lulu was silent and quietly withdrew from the office.

"Sister Natal, Yang Hui, ......" It just so happened that as soon as Bucky Lulu closed the office door, she saw Lux and Shirley Lu coming together.

"Let him be alone for a while." Bucky Lulu said.

"I see." Lux nodded.

"This battle...... Are the casualties serious? Shirley Lu asked in a low voice, in her eyes, Yang Hui has always been synonymous with self-confidence, she is sure of everything, and she should continue to stand confidently in front of everyone, instead of locking herself in the room.

"Hmm." Bucky Lulu nodded earnestly, "We still underestimate the enemy too much. ”

Whether it was Yang Hui or the rest of the Prometheus Legion, although they all knew that the difficulty of this mission was very high, and the enemies they had to face were also very dangerous, they still did not pay full attention to it.

After all, more than half of the members of the Prometheus Legion have not participated in official world missions, even if they know that the aces have encountered a lot of ups and downs in the mission world, but they have successfully completed the mission, and they have completed it very well, subconsciously, they still think that this mission is nothing more than that.

The same is true for members who regularly participate in World Missions, especially those who have participated in one or two World Missions with the team, and their growth is very rapid, and they are ...... The point of arrogance, although it can't be seen on the surface, but it is against the strong men of the legion, and for the enemies encountered in the mission world, they subconsciously regard them as their previous opponents, and they can easily solve them.

“…… Condolences. Shirley Lu had a thorn in her heart, very uncomfortable, and she really felt the cruelty of war for the first time, and how great the danger was this time, so that Yang Hui and others, who were extremely confident, suffered a huge blow.

"I'm worried about him." Shirley Lu said that she was very worried about Yang Hui's current state and wanted to go in and comfort him.

"No, let him be alone for a while." Bucky Lulu and Lux shook their heads at the same time, and said to Shirley Lu, Shirley Lu and Yang Hui have not officially been together, and the time they have been together is short, so without them understanding Yang Hui, Yang Hui will not be knocked down by this level of blow, he just needs to be quiet alone, and he will be able to adjust soon, and he doesn't need this kind of comfort.

Sure enough, after a while, the door of the office was opened, and Yang Hui was stunned for a moment when he saw Bucky Lulu, Lux and Shirley Lu waiting at the door, and was quickly relieved.

"Let's go, accompany me to the hospital to see them."
