Chapter 274 The strongest of the SS rank mercs (1/2)
General Tang was sitting in front of the other ten generals with a face full of anger. He then pounded on the table in a rage.
”HOW THE HELL DID THAT HAPPEN?! HOW WAS HE ABLE TO ESCAPE?! We had him, he was there surrounded by thousands of soldiers, tanks, and even fighter jets! We had the superior equipment and superior numbers, but he was still able to escape! If that wasn't shameful enough, Lyner was protecting some civilians, and was unable to retreat until they could escape. Yet you Royce let the civilians escape!”
Hearing the angry shouts of old man Tang, Royce got a bit irritated as well.
”Why blame me? I was able to hold down the messenger of death for three whole hours! What about you people? The nine of you weren't able to kill one person that was surrounded and outnumbered, for a whole three hours! How should I know that you people were so incompetent.”
The other eight aside from old man Tang, were offended by what Royce said, but they couldn't rebuke him, because what he said was the truth.
”Enough! We clearly underestimated how strong Lyner was. With his strength it would seem that dropping a Thermobaric bomb like the ATBIP at him would be needed to kill him. Of course with his speed and unusual battle instinct he could avoid the bomb altogether.”
When Andrew spoke his point of view, the other nine suddenly went silent. It was the truth, Lyner's strength especially when he is near death, or backed into a corner went beyond logic or any human understanding. This was a man that could literally fight an army by himself, and live to tell the tale.
”How about sending our very own monster, to fight that monster. An eye for an eye, a monster for a monster.”
Hilda the only woman in the ten generals spoke, giving out her idea.
”You don't mean to use that arrogant crazy b*tch!?”
”Yes I want to send her to the battlefield. The SS rank mercenary of the Granado Empire, Rika Saunter.”
”You do know we cannot control her. She does whatever she wants.” Royce voiced out his worries in trying to bring Rika into this war.
”We have no choice... At this point when the Southern Union joins the fight, we might use our trump card earlier than planned. If we use it near the beginning of the war, it might be the reason of our loss. On the other hand, if we let Lyner be and he rampages about, with the help of the Southern Union specifically Arthur Glory, then the lives of our soldiers will be extinguished by the thousands. Right now even with the combine might of Berdonia and the Southern Union, they barely match the number of soldiers we have, but as the war rages on, without using our trump card it is certain that we will lose a significant amount of soldiers... So in the end we really need to send her to the battlefield, to deal with the two other SS rank mercs.”
