I rely on myself

Chapter 847 Reversal

"…This is not a joke!"

Realizing that the stronghold had been captured by an unknown enemy, Galan Mosa did not hesitate for a second, and controlled the Qiniel Executioner to turn around and escape.

But before he could run far, suddenly, as if some mechanism was triggered, there was an explosion under the feet of the Qiniel Executioner. Although the power of the explosion was not enough to break the nano-layer armor, the sudden impact of the explosion almost caused the body to be lifted up.

But this was not what Garland was most worried about. He was worried that the fire and smoke produced by the explosion would attract the enemy. And the reality was just as he thought. The landmine he triggered was planted by the people who destroyed his stronghold.

Looking at the flames and smoke rising in the distance, as well as the sound of explosions, a man sighed and said, "It looks like we've been discovered. But since they noticed something unusual before we even stepped into the ambush, it seems like they're really capable."

This man was McGillis. After learning the truth about the conflict between Abro and SAU and the commission from Olga, he immediately took action, contacted Takaki, and with the help of Takaki, he successfully captured Garland's base.

They also did not let Nadiqie from the Earth Branch go. After monitoring the communication between him and Garland, they were very patient. In order to avoid exposing any flaws, they waited until the communication ended and then immediately arrested Nadiqie and interrogated some information from him, but not much of it was useful.

After realizing Garland's ability, McGillis was very cautious. He did not let the lurking team ambush him directly on the road he had to pass. Instead, in order to avoid being noticed, he ambushed him at a certain distance where he could not be directly observed through sight.

The original plan was to wait for Garland to enter a certain range before letting the ambush team cut him off from behind. However, without any warning, the other party suddenly realized that something was wrong and wanted to escape.

Fortunately, just in case, they also buried some one-way blocking mines, which should be able to delay the enemy's progress.

"There is no other way. Notify the ambush team. No need to hide any further. Capture the enemy directly."

After giving orders to the messenger beside him, McGillis got on his own machine, the Graze Knight, and planned to give chase himself. At this moment, a communication suddenly came in.

"Hello, Brigadier General Farid, can we come with us?"

The one who spoke in a pleading tone was Takaki. He was currently sitting on a mobile engineer, with a team behind him. They were the members of the Earth branch, and besides him, Aston was also among them.

This team is composed of five mobile engineers and three Lando Manrodi. Aston is responsible for leading the MS team, and Takaki is responsible for the mobile engineer team as well as being the team's commander-in-chief.

As soon as he saw Takaki and the others, McGillis knew what they were thinking: "Are you guys... looking for revenge?"

"Yes, because of my serious mistake, the Earth branch was used by him, and several companions died because of it. If it weren't for Captain Olga and the others contacting us, I'm afraid we wouldn't be able to realize the truth. So please, please let us join the team chasing Galan Mosa."

"........."

To be honest, McGillis was not very optimistic about Takaki's proposal, although Takaki and his companions were furious at the moment because of being used and the sacrifice of their companions.

Once facing Garland, they would definitely be more aggressive than usual. This might work wonders against ordinary enemies, but facing a battle-hardened mercenary like Garland, they would be discovered and defeated more quickly. But McGillis also understood that blocking is worse than easing. Looking at the furious faces of Takaki and the others, if he refused, they might take some radical actions. So McGillis had no choice but to agree to their request.

"...Yes, I can let you join the pursuit team."

"Thank you so much, Brigadier General McGillis..."

"But I have a condition!" Before Takaki could finish his words of thanks, McGillis suddenly changed the subject and said that this was conditional.

"I know you hate Garland very much, so I can hand him over to you for disposal, but the premise is that you must hand him over to us for interrogation, understand? This means that we cannot kill him in the battle later, we must capture him alive, can you agree to this?"

“…………” Takaki and the others hesitated and fell silent after hearing what McGillis said.

Seeing Takaki and the others were silent, McGillis was not. He did not finish his words: "Also, the other party is not an ordinary guy. In order to prevent him from escaping, I can let you attack first. However, once I judge that you are not his opponent, I will attack without hesitation. You don't need to make trouble. Do you understand?"

"…I promise, Brigadier General McGillis."

"Takaki?!"
Faced with McGillis's two conditions, the members of the Tekkadan were immediately hesitant, but at this moment Takaki suddenly agreed.

Before the other members who didn't understand wanted to ask, Takaki spoke out his thoughts first: "If it weren't for Brigadier General McGillis's help, we wouldn't be able to defeat him even if we knew his true identity. We might even be eliminated by him if we weren't careful. So the Brigadier General has helped us a lot to get to this point, so we shouldn't push ourselves too far, don't you agree?"

"…………"
There was no way to refute this. In response to Takaki's words, the other members of the Tekkadan all had the same thought in their minds, just as Takaki said.

Now, the reason they survived and fought back against Garland was thanks to McGillis' help, so they really had no right to bargain anymore.

'interesting! ’

Looking at this scene, McGillis's mouth corners couldn't help but curl up. At the beginning, he didn't care too much about Takaki, the current general manager of the Earth branch of Tekkadan, but now this scene fully demonstrated his ability.

Although still a little immature, he has shown some leadership qualities and even knows when to advance and retreat. He knows what he can do and what he can ask for, but he will not go too far or overstep his boundaries.

Although he had a different view of Takaki, this did not prevent McGillis from urging them, "Have you discussed it? If time continues to drag on like this, Garland is likely to escape the encirclement. In that case, we may not be able to catch him. So can you make a decision?"

"…………!!!"
