Chapter 1282 (1/2)

In the joint fleet, all No. 1 warships have been concentrated at the forefront.

”Mulder.”

Blaise said to Mulder, who was standing on the side of the boat, his hands on the railing and looking at the lake.

”The captains of all ships have arrived. I'm waiting for you to release the combat mission. ”

”... well.”

Mulder nodded softly.

Next to the torch, Mu De's iron blue face was clearly illuminated.

Bryce, standing beside Mulder, naturally found his ugly face.

”Mulder.” Blaise said in a half joking tone, ”aren't you afraid?”

”... ah, yes.” Mu de smiled bitterly, ”I'm really afraid now...”

Blaise thought Mulder would defend himself and lie that he was not nervous or something.

Brad was surprised that Mulder so readily admitted that he was indeed afraid.

Mulder raised his hands, which had been on the railing since the beginning, and showed Bryce his palms.

Mulder's hand was trembling.

”Blaise, look. My hand... Has been shaking... ”

”After taking over this task from the regimental commander, I was not afraid at all.”

”I just think - I'm old anyway, and I don't have a few years left to live.”

”It would be nice to end your life in such a heroic way.”

”But... With the passage of time... I don't know why I became more and more afraid...”

Mulder clenched his fists.

However - even if his hands were clenched into fists, he could not stop his hands from shaking.

”It's really embarrassing...”

Mulder let out a few self deprecating chuckles.

”When he took over the task from the head, he was full of pride.”

”When I really want to start the task, my hands shake with fear...”

After saying that, Mu de seemed to give up the struggle, loosened his fists and let his hands tremble constantly.

Bryce looked at Mulder's trembling hands.

Then he smiled:

”I thought I was the only one.”

After that, Blaise raised his hands that had just dropped naturally under Mulder's puzzled eyes.

Bryce's hands, too, were trembling.

”Mulder, I'm just like you.” Bryce smiled bitterly. ”I'm more and more afraid. Now I'm so afraid that my hands tremble.”

”Mulder, survival is everyone's instinct.”

”It's normal to be afraid of death.”

”It's hard for anyone to keep calm in the face of death.”

”But - some people have to stand up and do something others are afraid to do.”

”... well.” Mu De's mouth tilted and showed a faint smile, ”that's right.”

Mulder raised his hands again.

His hands didn't shake as much as they did just now.

”Thank you, Bryce. I feel much better now.”

”Let's go, blaze. Let's... Pave the way to victory. ”

……

……

All the No. 1 warships of the joint fleet have been concentrated in the front of the ship array.

The captains of warship No. 1 were also concentrated on the deck of the warship where Mulder and blitz were located.
