Chapter 423 (1/2)

The sky is already a little dark, the sunset and the burning debris are surrounded by smoke rising everywhere, stretching to a kilometer away. Everything is wrapped together by the chaotic smoke. It's impossible to tell where the valley is, where the mountain is, and where the sky is. Only the light of dusk can dye it orange red.

It's the end of the battle.

Burns stands on a high ground and looks at the distance with a telescope. This telescope has special functions and can penetrate the smoke to see the scene thousands of meters away. Due to the lack of resources, this kind of equipment is the best lookout tool at present.

Behind burns stood five or six officers, big or small. Some were meditating, some were looking around, some were waiting for burns' further instructions, but all of them were dignified. The feeling of losing comrades in arms or subordinates is written on tired faces.

”Damn it! More than 800 more have died! ” A senior colonel with a machine gun on his back walked up the hill, muttering and scolding. With a piece of mechanical animal debris in his hand, the senior commander went to burns, put the mechanical animal debris on the ground and said: ”general, it will take two hours for the specific statistics to come out, and it will take two hours for the logistics to sort out the battlefield. However, it is roughly estimated that the loss of the mechanical city in this round of attack is about 170. Damn it, it's a war of attrition. ”

Burns is still looking out.

”It's really strange to say that our side is not a big base. What's the reason for such mechanical forces to attack us instead of fighting the independent resistance organization?” The senior colonel grumbled, kicked a stone, and the stone rolled down the mountain. The senior colonel hit the stone with the handle of his gun, and a piece of slag broke up on the stone.

Burns put down his telescope and let out a deep breath. His eyes slowly swept over the faces of the people, and then fell on the arm of the senior colonel. The major's arm was covered with white gauze, which was soaked in blood“ Is the arm all right? ” He twisted his fingers irritably.

”Nothing!” Looking at the steaming Canyon in front of him, the senior colonel said, ”boss, do you think we should really try the method of second in charge, and let the mechanical animals act as the main force to confront the mechanical forces face to face? If we go on fighting like this, one man will die and one less. If we use mechanical beasts to fight against mechanical forces, we may be able to save many brothers' lives! ”

”Well, why, even you believe what he said?” Asked burns.

”Well... I don't believe it, but I think we should try.” The senior colonel laughs.

”Try? Do you know the result of a try? Or, if we can't resist the mechanical forces, what kind of situation will we face? ”

“……”

After a long silence, the senior colonel said stubbornly, ”but how long can we survive this death? a year? Two years? ”

Burns looked more anxious. He bowed his head and walked for two steps. He turned to look at the fog in front of him and said, ”let's not talk about the consequences of using mechanical forces. As far as the current situation of our base is concerned, we have neither the strong backing of the independent resistance organization nor the strong economic network of the Hess group, or the trade organization, Everything we have comes from the donation of the rear society, the dedication of the participants, and the meager business income. Which of these economic sources can support our powerful mechanical corps

”Well, Adam Han's second son has only ideals in his mind, regardless of whether he has money or not! Money, money! From ancient times to the present, which war is not made by money? Without money, we can only wait to die! I'm afraid we won't be like this now if we spend money on soldier's equipment, that fool of Adam

”Boss, this matter... Even General Hu and Lu have agreed. Shouldn't it be too bad?”
