”Take your seats,” I told ht with you”
Then I hurried to finish reading the rest of the letters as the officers waited patiently right beside me
”I summoned you all here because I've received orders from the military headquarter” I eyed around the people, ”Heads up now, the forone back to his home country and the ones who are in control of the military affairs are the last ones anna see: the temple bastards”
Before the stunning looks on the officers eased, I unfolded the orders from the PUF headquarter
”This is the order, and as the coated and responsible to read it to you Of course, those ere killed in action can pass”
The officers hter because more than half of them were already 'dead' as planned Likewise, my soldiers have suffered more than 60 'casualties'
”Now order!” My eyes swept the crowd, then the laughter immediately calmed
“To Coht of Protoss, Mr Cohen Kheda,
We were shocked to learn you operation results in the far end of the eneratified! During the War, you and your troops have fought heroically The 9th Legion's bravery and courage are highly praised by the whole Protoss United Forces! The Light Teive commendation to reward Cohen Kheda as well as his fortyish officers The 9th Legion has won its naion…”
I stopped here and raised my eyes and said, ”You hear that? You're all part of it!”
The officers chuckled, including the 'KIA' officers, whose laughters disclosed a sense of subtlety
”Now into the business, you listen well!” I continued
“… as for the 9th Legion's severe casualties, the ht Temple has held a solemn evocation ceremony We wish the dead soldiers' souls will rest in peace”
”This is to say,” I raised ain and said, ”the dead have earned none You've died for nothing!”
This time, the officers' chuckle revealed a sense of bitterness
“… as for Ser Cohen Kheda's troop replenish de on intensely, the united forces headquarter has no backup soldiers to offer…”
“… we sincerely wish the 9th Legion will carry forward your courage and live through the hardshi+p! The Light Temple and the PUF headquarter hope you will carry on and take your victory to a new level!”
I added, ”This is to say, they want the 9th Legion to keep fighting and keep dying They want to hear the news that we are all killed!”
”Now to the
“… the military headquarter has formulated a new combat plan in the past few days We believe once the plan is carried successfully, the Asmodian United Forces will soon be completely vanquished The key of the plan lies in you!”
“… the 9th Legion must advance into Asmodian backland and create an impetus in order to contain more AUF troops! Our PUF forces ork in concert with you and assault the enemies in separate directions The enemy main force must be annihilated on the Protoss/Asmodian Line!””
No matter the reader or the listener, they were all bitterly disappointed at such an order!
“… the Light Temple and the headquarter all expect another victory froerly looking forward to your victorious return! We would only hope all the 9th Legion troops to weld your faith into swords, transforeously to create a new glorious triureet your hty troops from hundreds of miles away!”
”We would only hope all the 9th Legion troops to weld your faith into swords, transforion troops to weld your faith into swords, transforrinned coldly and repeated this sentence, ”Only the dumbasses from the temple could write such an order!”
I cannot read such disgusting words any longer so I dropped the paper and stamped harshly on it, then I asked, ”You all hear that, loud and clear?”
The officers nodded silently
“How despicable!” Carlos picked the paper up and read it thoroughly again then talked, ”Sir, the end signature is Prince Carl Ulysses!”
”Clearly, those dead pigs want us to die” I sat down, ”What do you think, you all? How should we reply? I need your opinions”
”Sir, we'll follow your idea!” An officer said, ”You're our leader nevertheless We're not paid by the temple!”
”Yeah, a few day earlier I couldn't understand boss’ intention to report so et it, if we let the headquarter know that we're still at our full strength, they'll probably want us to capture the AUF supreme commander!”
”You're right! The PUF has only so many troops left I doubt they can even initiate another battle!”
”No, not really” I interrupted them, ”PUF still hasn't deployed its special forces Besides, I think the headquarter e arht exceed a million!”
”Ah?”
”You didn't see that corinned, ”it's the first time the temple clique has total control over the military headquarter How could they not work hard? Just wait and watch, by the time, not only they'll deploy backup troops, they probably will involve the Protoss race to help the war!”
”The Protoss race? So I guess our business here is done?”
”No way As long as the 9th Legion is not distinctive, they will order us to keep fighting!” I said, ”What we can do now is to fight another few battles then tell the headquarter that we're completely depleted Then we could just disappear as if we're wiped out!”
”So why not just skip the battle and report zero” An officer asked
”Stupid you!” I knocked his head, ”Since we have our intelligence system, don't you think the te on here and we are still reporting casualties… the tes but they're not that stupid!”
”Oh!” He rubbed his head and said, ”I get it, sir!”
”So, sir,” Carlos asked, ”how should the General Staff draw the combat plan?”
”Let's do a tryout by fight a few battles” I rubbedlittle information from other channels, we shall feel about it in the real war I'll lead the troops!”
”Yes, sir!”
”Everyone!” I said seriously, ”You all should know the seriousness about what I told you today It must not be let out!”
”Sir, yes, sir!”
”Prepare yourself and pacify your soldiers and officers, then…” I glanced the crowd, ”I'll take you home!”
”Yes, sir!”
”Dismissed!” I hinted, ”I'!”
