”The mission this time is very simple …”
Anthony, who had opened his eyes, smiled and said, ”We just need to guard the first level of the underground base.”
The moment he finished speaking, the crowd burst into an uproar. Especially Olam, who stood up and shouted, ”Why? Captain? Do you want us to hide like cowards until the exam is over? No, if that's the case, I'd rather join another team. I, Olam, can only be a warrior who dies in battle, but I will never be a coward who lives! ”
In this era where heroes were needed, there were plenty of people with ideas like Olam's. But in reality, before escaping, no matter what reason it was, it would be looked down upon and despised by others. Even some military institutions would treat these deserters by execution.
Of course, this was not a real war. If the vanguard team was only there to preserve their lives without taking the assessment, they would only be eliminated afterwards and not executed. But with this, he would have to live with the title of a coward for the rest of his life. The vast majority of people were unwilling to accept such a thing.
But as soon as Olam finished his sentence, Lucca pounced like lightning, slapping him in the face with his palm. Lucca, who was much thinner and thinner than Orloff, directly flipped this big fellow over on the ground with the explosive power of the fifth step.
Olam was about to say something, but Luca's lightning fast kick landed on his chest, and the force was like a burst of fire, crushing the big man's chest so hard that it nearly broke his sternum, stopping his words in his throat.
”Idiot, Captain actually said that, he must have his reasons. You just can't let him finish. ”
After a symbolic kick to Olam, Luca sat back down. He was clearly trying to teach Ojim a lesson, but in reality, he had saved the life of this reckless big guy. You have to know, when we first entered the camp, the vanguard team had a total of seven people. But now there were only six, and as for the missing member, it was because of Anthony's inappropriate plan at one of the war conferences and his strong opposition to it. The next day, however, the man went crazy and was kicked out of the new barracks.
However, with the exception of Lucca, no one knew that this person was not crazy. Instead, he had caused Anthony to go insane with his abilities.
Anthony's profession was an explorer. Other than regional scanning and Soul Linking Chains, Anthony also had another unknown ability, which was the advancement of his Sensory Perception Domain, called Spiritual Shock.
A spiritual attack, using the willpower of the capable to unleash an offensive shockwave at the spiritual level. Only a life form with a strong willpower or completely lacking willpower could resist the damage caused by the spiritual impact. As for that crazy team member, he was naturally unable to withstand the mental attack from An Lennie. As a result, his own mental breakdown turned him into a lunatic.
Anthony was not a generous man, and could not stand to be questioned. If it wasn't for the fact that Lucca had taught Orlam a lesson just now, Anthony would have secretly launched his spiritual attack, turning this big guy into another lunatic.
Looking at the pained expression on Oram's face, Anthony knew that Lucca's few blows had added fuel to the fire. As such, the faint silver light in his eyes dimmed. He smiled and said, ”Luca is right. Ladies and gentlemen, I value my reputation more than any of you, and I will never bear the mark of a coward. Staying on the first floor is a matter of strategy, not survival. ”
The other melee esper, Gale, frowned and said, ”Captain, can you explain it more clearly?”
”Simply put, it was Instructor Kalio's hint.”
”What hint?” The people below asked.
”There's no limit.” They came to the same conclusion as Feng, and Anthony said, ”Have you forgotten that the instructor said that there are no restrictions on this mission? This means that we can do anything. If that's the case, why should we risk our lives to rush into the underground base? As long as we wait for Rankin, that idiot, or Windrunner's squad to return from the fifth floor and take back the experimental diaries, we'll just have to fight for them at the exit of the first floor. ”
”The mission requirement is to retrieve the experimental diary, but how did you get it? Instructor Kalio doesn't have any restrictions.” Afterward, Anthony looked at Orloff and said, ”We don't ask about right or wrong in war. We don't look at the process. We only see the result. As long as we win, do you think that anyone would care about how we win? The result, is only the result! ”
With Anthony's repeated emphasis, Lucca showed an expression of agreement. There was no doubt that Anthony's plan was simple and feasible. Currently, the number of casualties in the team had been minimized. It was conceivable that the other two teams would be obstructed in their eagerness to get hold of the experimental diary and enter the underground base. Even if they could bring out the experimental diary, these people would definitely be exhausted by then. On the other hand, the vanguard team was waiting patiently. There was nothing cheaper in this world.
Although they would be a little mean to win, how many wars were fair and square. As Anthony said, those high above focused only on the outcome of the war, not on the course of the war.
