I rely on myself

Chapter 622: Ways to Regain Dignity

————The Earth's Outer Orbit Combined Fleet.

At this time, in the room of a main ship, Karta had a sad look on his face, not at all like his initial proud look, and looked a little embarrassed.

"Damn it! Those old guys are such a nuisance."

Although it was expected, after reporting the losses, there was indeed a series of reprimands from the Earth. If Karta had not been born into the Ishu family, a famous Seven Star family, he would have lost his position as commander long ago and might even have been brought to a military court. Even so, Karta's current situation was not easy.

“Damn it! That group of Martian rats called Tekkadan, if it weren’t for them… Ugh!!”

At first, Karta was gritting her teeth, but soon, as if she remembered something, her expression suddenly changed and became full of fear.

As if to deny his fear, Carta braced himself and said to himself in a fearful tone: "...What's going on with that black MS? How come it almost destroyed all my carefully prepared MS troops with just one machine? What's going on?!"

Although Karta pretended to be fearful to cover it up, his trembling body, shrinking pupils, and the fear that could not be concealed in his tone all showed his deep fear of Lin Yuan, or the magic bullet.

“Damn it!!!!!”

Karta was also very aware of her own concealment, and she also realized her deep fear of the black MS, but her inner pride still supported her and she didn't want to admit defeat.

"No! We can't let this go on! I'm Carta Ishu, and I'm just a MS. Don't even think about making me surrender!!!"

Karta's strong self-esteem cheered her up. She decided that she couldn't go on like this. She wanted revenge, both for her own self-esteem and for the subordinates who sacrificed their lives.

Just as Karta was trying to cheer himself up, a communication suddenly came in: "Lord Karta, there is an urgent communication for you."

"Looking for me? Do you know who the other party is?"

"Ah yes, it's Lord Lesdal who's looking for you."

"Lesdal?!"

--------------

"Hehehe... Long time no see, Carta. I don't know when we last met. It's been a long time. Now it seems that you are in good spirits. It couldn't be better."

On the bridge, Karta was sitting in the captain's seat, looking at the picture displayed on the big screen on the front of the bridge. In the picture, a man in a neat military uniform and with a dignified face was looking at Karta with a smile on his face, and greeting him at the same time.

"Thank you, Lord Lesdal. I wonder if there is anything you want to talk to me about all of a sudden?"

Unlike the other person who was smiling, Karta looked extremely dignified at this moment, and even put away his usual arrogant look.

It is not surprising that it turned out like this. After all, the person who was talking to Carta at this time was Lesdal Arian, who was also from the Arian family, a famous seven-star family.

Even unlike Karta who is just a member of the Ishu family, Lesdal is the head of the Aryan family. The gap in their identities is obvious. Even without talking about this, even if they are both fleet commanders, they cannot be compared.

Karta was in charge of commanding the Earth's Outer Orbital Combined Fleet, a fleet that had been on the verge of disbanding several times, while Lesdal was in charge of commanding the famous Arianhrd Fleet. The gap between the two sides could be said to be one in heaven and one on earth.

Such a situation naturally made Carta dare not neglect it at all, so he naturally showed such a dignified and modest appearance. Looking at Carta's dignified appearance, Lesdal naturally saw that it was fake, and stopped talking and went straight to the point.

"This time I came to see you, in addition to the pleasantries, I actually have some serious business to discuss."

“Business…!”

Hearing this, Karta quickly thought of something, and Lesdal's next words also confirmed this.

"Yes, it's not for anything else, it's about you stopping Kudelia and the Tekkadan."

"About that, I..."

To be honest, if possible, Karta had the urge to turn off the communication directly. After all, such a devastating failure was something she didn't want to mention at all.

If it wasn't Lesdal who was talking to her now, Karta would have turned off the communication in anger, but even so, her expression didn't look much better.

Lesdal had anticipated Karta's reaction and comforted him softly, "Don't get me wrong. I've read the report on that battle. Although your command at the time still needs to be improved, you didn't make any mistakes. In reality, you were simply not as skilled as others."

Lesdal's words were very tactful. Since Karta was able to serve as the commander of a fleet, he was certainly not a fool and could naturally hear it.

But even though he knew it, people always like to hear good things. So even though he knew it, when Karta heard what Lesdal said, the expression on his face still improved a lot.

"...Lord Lesdal, you don't need to comfort me. Although there were some unexpected events, I did underestimate those guys at the time. This was one of the reasons for the failure, so I deserved the bitter fruit."

Seeing Karta's lost and self-deprecating look, Lesdal thought it was time and directly stated his true purpose.

"So, Karta, do you want to restore the dignity lost by yourself and the Earth Outer Orbital Joint Fleet in this failure?"

"Eh? Lord Lesdal, what you said, are you saying..."

Hearing what Lesdal said, Karta almost instantly understood the other party's implication and asked hurriedly in an eager tone, and Lesdal responded as expected.

"Just as you thought, I have a way to give you a chance to regain your dignity with the Tekkadan, but it is not without risks, so you..."

"No need to say more, Lord Lesdal. I have anticipated the so-called risks."

Karta shook off his previous depressed look and seemed particularly excited. He said to Lesdal, "But compared to that, I care more about getting my dignity back with my own hands, not only for me, but also for our Outer Orbital Fleet, so please be sure to tell me."

"That's it..."

As if seeing the determination that Karta expressed, Lesdal did not say anything more and directly told Karta the solution.

"The solution is ..."
