Chapter 925 The first official contact, a tragic victory
"Damn it!"
Yang Hui punched the armrest of the seat. The Dawn Gundam was the least damaged, so he just made the simplest emergency repairs and rushed out. As a result, he saw the Snake King survived under the glory of Genesis. His mind was filled with one thought, that is, he must not let this Snake King leave alive!
But he was helpless and unwilling. The Snake Egg and Python blocked it at all costs, causing the Promise Corps to lose this excellent opportunity. They could only watch the Snake King retreat into the FOLD jump channel and disappear from sight.
"Yang Hui, [Snake Eggs] and [Python] have also begun to retreat."
"Hunting! As many as can be left alive!"
"Understood!" XN
Through this battle, the people of the Promise Corps fully realized the huge threat of [Snakes]. No matter whether the [Snakes] that attacked them this time were all or not, and how many [Snakes] they killed accounted for the race, but killing one was one, which not only weakened the enemy's combat power, but also vented their resentment and anger.
"What is the situation of Vajra in the rear?" Yang Hui asked about the situation in the rear while driving the [Dawn Gundam] to chase the retreating [Snakes]. Vajra was also a big threat. At first, he was full of confidence in Genesis. After all, gamma-ray bursts are the nemesis of all life, and the killing effect directly acts on cells, which is a killer move that cannot be defended.
But now... with the precedent of [Snake King], Yang Hui lost this confidence.
"80% of the Vajra army was wiped out by Genesis, and the remaining remnants have begun to retreat. Because Genesis was used before the battle, there were no casualties in the rear fleet."
"No need to pursue, let them guard the rear of the fleet."
For [Snake], Yang Hui adopted a strategy of annihilation without leaving any room. After all, this is a clear enemy and there is no possibility of any communication.
But Vajra is different. Vajra is an ally that can be won over. There is no need to adopt extreme strategies, as long as it can be repelled.
"Understood."
The battle soon came to an end. The Promise Corps had its first formal confrontation with [Snake] and its first formal contact with the real enemy of Promise Fortress. It ended with the victory of the Promise Corps and Promise Fortress.
Although it was a victory, it was also a miserable victory.
The damage rate of the fleet in the front reached 12%, and the MS troops suffered 15% casualties. Just looking at the numbers, it is not large, and it is not even comparable to the war with ELS.
But it should be clear that in the war with ELS, almost all the soldiers who died in the war had brain quantum waves, and their consciousness was retained by ELS after death. Now they continue to live with the bodies created by ELS for them. Only a few people who cannot live without brain quantum waves died.
And this time, if you die, you are really dead.
Moreover, the combat power of the Prosme Corps now far exceeds that of the past. They even used Genesis, one of the final trump cards, and several Genesis hit at the same time, but they failed to kill a [Snake King]!
If this is not a miserable victory, what is it?
"The list of casualties has been counted."
In the resident office of the main island of the 25th Fleet, Yang Hui took the list of casualties handed by Baki Lulu with a gloomy face, and read it carefully from top to bottom. He wanted to remember every name on it in his mind.
"Where is the list of seriously injured?" After spending an hour reading the list of casualties, Yang Hui asked.
"Here." Baki Lulu handed another list to Yang Hui, and reported, "The medical department of the legion has been fully operational. The treatment order is arranged according to the severity of the wounded. It is expected that all can recover within a week."
On the warships of the Promise Legion, the [Xiezhi Class] is equipped with 2 medical cabins, the [White Tiger Class] is equipped with 4, and the [Qilin Class] is equipped with 8. At this time, all medical cabins are in operation 24 hours a day, fully treating the wounded.
"Hmm..." Similarly, Yang Hui did not miss any name. He did not know everyone in the Promise Legion, but on this list of seriously injured, he saw many familiar names.
For example, Christina Mackenzie and her husband Barnard Watzman, who were brought up by hand.
Gabriel Carlos Carcia of the Cyclops Team.
Zhang Wufei of the Gundam W world.
The three sisters of Orb, Mayura Rabat, Ashaqi Caldwell, and Julie Wu Nian.
Andrei Smirnov, Yang Hui's eldest nephew.
Caruso of the Martian Pirates and Yuwen Feigong of the Super Hunters.
Norba Xino, Chad Chadan, and Dante Moguro of the Tekkadan.
Gilbert and Dalton, the loyal knights of Cornelia.
Ophis Fengze and Jeremiah Godbald of the Twelve Zodiacs.
…
This is only the list of seriously injured, not the complete list of injured. In this battle, except for the TOP-level ace pilots, everyone is more or less injured.
Looking at the silent Yang Hui, Baki Lulu was silent and quietly left the office.
"Sister Natal, Yang Hui..." Coincidentally, Baki Lulu just closed the door of the office and saw Lacus and Shirley who came with him.
"Let him be alone." Baki Lulu said.
"I know." Lacus nodded when he heard it.
"Are there serious casualties in this battle?" Shirley Lu asked in a low voice. In her eyes, Yang Hui has always been synonymous with confidence. He is confident in everything he does. He should continue to stand confidently in front of everyone, and Not locking yourself in a room.
"Yes." Baji Lulu nodded seriously, "We still underestimate the enemy too much."
Both Yang Hui and others in the Promis Legion knew that this mission was very difficult and that the enemies they had to face were also very dangerous, but they still did not pay full attention to it.
After all, more than half of the Promis Legion members have never participated in a formal world mission. Even though they knew that the aces encountered a lot of ups and downs in the mission world, they all successfully completed the mission and completed it very well. Subconsciously, They still think this mission is nothing more than that.
The same is true for members who often participate in world missions, especially those who have participated in one or two world missions with the team. They have grown very quickly, to the point of... arrogance. Although it cannot be seen on the surface, that is. For the strong men of the legion and the enemies they met in the mission world, they subconsciously regarded them as their previous opponents and could easily deal with them.
"...My condolences." Shirley Lu felt a thorn in her heart and felt very uncomfortable. For the first time, she truly felt the cruelty of war, and the great danger she faced this time. This made the extremely confident Yang Hui and others... suffered a huge blow.
"I'm worried about him." Shirley Lu said. She was worried about Yang Hui's current condition and wanted to go in and comfort him.
"No, let him be alone for a while." Bucky Lulu and Lux shook their heads at the same time and said to Shirley Lu. Shirley Lu and Yang Hui have not been officially together yet, and their time together was short, so they did not understand Yang Hui. , Yang Hui will not be knocked down by such a blow. He only needs to be alone and can adjust quickly. He does not need this kind of comfort.
Sure enough, after a while, the door of the office was opened. Seeing Bucky Lulu, Lux and Shirley waiting at the door, Yang Hui was stunned for a moment, but was soon relieved.
"Come on, come with me to the hospital to see them."
