Chapter 2539: Foundation Exercises

The morale of the entire headquarters was so low that it had never been before. Even when the EU was approaching step by step in the world where Xiao Ran left, the headquarters was still waiting for the opportunity to counterattack. That energy has never been suppressed before, but the first victory after Xiao Ran's return broke out all the energy of endurance, and today he aggressively launched a battle that was bound to win in their eyes .

But now this result is something that no one has ever thought of. It is a result that no one dares to imagine at all. It is like a dream to watch a machine body fall from the sky, disregarding the enemy and the troops on both sides of the EU and Butaria. Mie, this is just a machine. When did the mighty Butaria even lose the strength to resist when facing a mere machine?

That kind of power is simply so powerful that people can't raise any resistance mentality at all. The victory that was originally within reach has also become out of reach because of the relationship with this machine, which directly broke their original most eager expectations. The powerful force broke their cognition of this world, it was an enemy they could not resist, and everything was meaningless in front of such an enemy, they lost their vigor and goals.

Xiao Ran walked to the front of the headquarters, took the earphone that someone randomly dropped on the table, tapped it twice with his hand, and then put the microphone in front of his mouth, the sound of thumping rang in everyone's ears The side sounded, and everyone's attention was immediately focused on Xiao Ran.

"What's wrong with you, a sudden and inexplicable failure made you lose all your vigor? Do you know what I saw when I walked in here? It's not people, but a group of walking dead who have lost their goals and hopes , It’s just a failure, does a failure make you lose the courage to look forward to victory in the future?”

"That's right, from an objective standpoint, we are indeed losers in the face of that powerful machine just now. So many people have no chance of fighting back in the opponent's hands, unable to resist, unable to fight back, but this does not It’s not that we don’t have the courage. Those fighters on the battlefield also launched a desperate attack on that machine when they knew they would fail. Don’t those fighters know that they are not opponents? No, they know, but they are willing Use your courage and life to inspire others, to fight for any chance to win, even if you sacrifice everything for it."

"The enemy is very powerful, as strong as a god. It is well known that human beings do not have the power of gods, but at least all our soldiers have shown the courage to dare to fight against the gods. The soldiers on the front line have not lost their courage, and you are behind. Is it reasonable for a person sitting in the headquarters to lose his courage and become a walking dead because of an enemy he has never faced head-on?"

"It is a fact that we are too weak. The opponent is too strong. It can be said that the whole world is uniquely strong, but who can guarantee that such a strong person will not appear among us one day? But the most important thing in all of them is courage. If you don’t have the courage, you dare not step into the battlefield, and if you don’t have the courage to face the enemy, you can only tremble, and you dare not fight, you dare not fight, but if today’s blow makes you understand your own weakness, and overcome it with courage, then It will make you stronger and stronger, dare to struggle, dare to fight, dare to grow, and sooner or later, because of this courage, you will grow to the point where other people look up to you."

"And today's failure is never the first time, and it will definitely not be the last time. Isn't the empire facing fewer failures for countless years, but relying on the courage of the soldiers, the empire has slowly developed to the current situation,

Could it be that the courage that was not lacking in the past was lost because of today's failure? I believe that you will not be such a person, and no one in Butaria is such a person. "

"I believe that all those fighters who faced failure just now would not give up so easily, compromise, and submit to that strength. They are warriors. If they will become the most powerful force, then I think they must be the people who failed under the most powerful force today, because they have witnessed the real power and felt that power, so they will definitely go after that. Strength, and will not raise any fear when facing a relatively weak force, but the premise is that everyone can bravely stand up again from the current loss, confusion and fear."

After Xiao Ran's words, he didn't want to continue talking about more things here. A real fighter will definitely be able to stand up again in the face of such a blow, not a real fighter, no matter how much he says, it is useless. Even all the forces in the entire 19th District are not the kind of combat power that is so important that Xiao Ran needs to pay more attention, even Monica who has not recovered, and Luciano who is also on the battlefield. It reached the level that made Xiao Ran not even look at it.

Saying these words is just a routine daily basic exercise, and I can't stand the dead atmosphere in the headquarters, and he still needs the support of this army in the future, and he also needs this army to guard the African territory for him, so It will boost everyone's morale a little bit.

Xiao Ran added: "You know, we didn't really lose in this war, at least we achieved all the strategic goals we set out at the beginning, regained the originally lost area, and even expanded it a lot. A situation of complete confrontation with the EU has basically formed on this continent, and in the past, it was able to reach the headquarters of the EU. Such an achievement can never be described as a failure. This is a success, a huge success."

"Even if things have turned into the current situation due to some special reasons, at least our goal has been achieved, and the EU is still watching. If we don't muster up the courage and stand up again, how will we hold on to it? In the territory we occupy now, don’t let me see you looking like walking corpses, show your original aura, come on.”

When Xiao Ran said this, he put down the microphone, and nodded slightly to Cornelia who came to him while speaking: "What is the current arrangement?"

Cornelia suppressed the inexplicable excitement in her heart, looked at the masked man in front of her, and suppressed another inexplicable itch, and said in a suppressed voice: "The armistice agreement has been signed with the EU, The two sides each retreated a certain distance, using the middle area as a buffer point. As for this war without a winner, it will probably come to an end for the time being. There is no need to count on compensation or something. In the end, it will be decided according to the prisoners of both sides. .”

Xiao Ran nodded lightly: "This is enough. Although it is indeed a failure in terms of the current situation, we are actually victorious in terms of the overall situation. It is completely enough to do business with the empire with such achievements, and it can also make us All the prisoners of the army will be exchanged."

"Well, it's the best to have such a result, otherwise... I don't know how long this war will last and how many people will be sacrificed." Cornelia looked at Xiao Ran, and an inexplicable gleam flashed in her eyes: "In order Ending the war in this way is also the best ending that His Majesty the Emperor and the people in the EU can accept."

"Of course."

This kind of truce was planned by Xiao Ran. It would allow the 19th District to hold the area it currently occupies, so that the EU would not dare to attack again, and would satisfy Charles and even the entire empire. Even if he was not satisfied, he would not find any faults , can only bite the teeth and swallow the best ending of half sweet and half bitter fruit.

And in the next step, Xiao Ran's vision and power will be completely withdrawn from this area, and placed in the capital of the empire far away on another continent, where another new battle will soon begin, a simple one. It's also simple, it's not easy and it's not easy to fight.

Cornelia was silent for a while, and suddenly asked: "Then, are you going back?"

Xiao Ran didn't care about the other people present around him, let alone who knew what Xiao Ran was talking about except Cornelia, so he answered Cornelia simply and directly: "The heat and timing are almost the same."

Cornelia nodded slightly, then nodded again: "I won't go back."

Xiao Ran was stunned for a moment, looked at the serious Cornelia and nodded slowly: "Okay."

Only two people can understand what kind of content is contained in the five-character exchange between the two. For Cornelia, the simple four characters represent two fundamentally different meanings. She doesn't go back, she stays here to take care of the current 19th District, and prevents any messy things from happening in the 19th District that will affect Xiao Ran. Liya believes that Xiao Ran will win in the end, but is there really no surprise in the final result? She, Cornelia, staying here would also give Xiao Ran another option to retreat after failure, just like being in District 11 on the other side of the sea.

The second meaning is simpler, she doesn't want to see her father being pulled down from that high position, seeing the turmoil in the capital, and even seeing relatives killing each other, so she is willing to stay here.

Xiao Ran's good words are agreeing to Cornelia's request, but also agreeing that Cornelia will not hurt Charles, and there is no need to communicate too much. These two people who have been in harmony many times can easily understand each other's thoughts.

Afterwards, Xiao Ran stayed in the headquarters and began to lead all the work. Rescue, evacuation, resettlement, etc. were all carried out in an orderly manner under Xiao Ran's arrangement. Slowly, as the rescue work unfolded, all the work The obtained data was also gradually collected in Xiao Ran's hands, and soon spread to the entire headquarters, and when the data spread, countless inconceivable exclamations also rang out in the headquarters.

"How is this possible! In addition to the sacrifices that occurred at the beginning of the battle, the number of personnel sacrificed from that machine to the time it left us is actually less than 20? And all of them were accidental sacrifices caused by bad luck?"

"I heard from the rescuers on the front line that none of the armed forces that were attacked was hit critically. The tanks on the ground were only minimally attacked. Except for the damage to materials and equipment, there was basically no loss of personnel. Those rescuers couldn't believe their eyes when they went to the rescue."

"But there are also a lot of injured people, that's all for minor injuries, and there are still quite a few seriously injured people."

"Compared to the previous battles, even the number of seriously wounded is only one-tenth of the level."

"How did that machine do it? It was so powerful that it suppressed all the troops of us and the EU with one person's strength, and even deliberately avoided all the vital points when attacking, trying not to hurt as much as possible. Anyone, is this really something that humans can do? Sure enough, only God can do such a thing?"

"Don't even talk about it, hurry up and arrange it. The S21 area needs manpower. Now all the logistics troops are transported up, and all our armed forces have to be transported back, especially the machines of the Scarlet Knights."

Not long ago, the entire headquarters was still lifeless, but now there are people who say a few words in their spare time, and the mental outlook has changed a lot, making the atmosphere much more relaxed and cheerful Among them, Xiao Ran's words did play a big role, but what really played a role was the spread of battle damage reports.

In a battle that could be called the doomsday, there were not many sacrifices at all. Even if there were sacrifices, it was at the beginning of the war, and the sacrifices that occurred after Pendragon appeared were all because of those People's luck is bad. To put it bluntly, the whole Butaria lost only those armed forces in this battle, and the personnel basically returned safely. Such good news is certainly enough to break through all the gloom and gloom. Those who fought and those in the headquarters were also considered comrades-in-arms, friends, relatives, and lovers. The disaster that was expected at the beginning was actually not like that at all, and of course it made everyone happy.

For several days in a row, both the EU and Butaria were dealing with the wreckage left by Xiao Ran, but the main military force had already retreated as agreed at the beginning, leaving a buffer area in the middle for the logistics preparation and coordination of both sides. Rescuers can work more easily and safely.

But at this time, the Scarlet Knights who were cleared first had already started their return journey, and Xiao Ran also took Monica, who had not recovered from her injuries, and Luciano, who had been eluded for the past few days, to sit On the plane back to the capital.
