I rely on myself

Chapter 889 Battle

The second wave of Dainsniff's attack came again, but because of the previous heavy losses, many fleets of the Revolutionary Army fell into chaos and were unable to make any effective response, even though McGillis kept reminding them in the communication.

Under another wave of bullets like a meteor shower, a group of ships in the Revolutionary Army were hit directly because they failed to dodge in time. The specially made spear bullets penetrated deeply into the interior of the ships. The fleet, which had already suffered heavy losses, was undoubtedly hit even harder.

And under such a fierce attack, an abnormality on the battlefield instantly attracted everyone's attention, that is, the Tekkadan's defense line.

The Arianhrd fleet naturally would not hold back against the Tekkadan, a civilian organization that had close ties with McGillis but was hired by the mercenaries. The number of Podinsniffs targeting them was definitely not small, but this also led to this jaw-dropping scene.

Without exception, all the special warheads that looked like spears were intercepted in front of the three assault ships of the Tekkadan.

All of these special warheads seemed to have lost all kinetic energy, floating quietly in the outer space. They looked like ordinary steel, forming a sharp contrast with the terrifying power they had demonstrated before.

This strange scene was of course discovered by the Arianhrd fleet and transmitted to the flagship where Lesdal was.

"Notify the Dynesniff troops to reload as soon as possible, but there is no need to fire."

On the flagship of the Arianhrd fleet, Lesdal suddenly gave an order, and then frowned as he looked at the strange scene of the Tekkadan defense line coming from the front.

Looking at this image, Lesdal quickly recalled a scene that Iogu had described before. His brows furrowed further and further, and he whispered, "There's absolutely no intention of hiding it. Just laying it out like this. Do you not care or don't care? Tekkadan!"

Although he had guessed that the suddenly appearing MA was related to the Tekkadan during the previous discussion with his technical officer Shan Ren, there was no need to guess anymore. The identical method of blocking Dynesniff was undoubtedly the best evidence.

“Forget it. If we only rely on this, it won’t be enough to reverse the current situation. Let me see, Tekkadan, what exactly are you planning to do by assisting McGillis? And McGillis, let me see what you will do next. If you are a smart person, you will undoubtedly choose to surrender in this situation, but if you are a stupid guy…”

Just as Lesdal was thinking about how the Tekkadan and McGillis would act, on the other side, the Revolutionary Army also discovered the situation on the Tekkadan's side.

Compared to their heavy losses, the Tekkadan was undoubtedly unscathed. Using unknown means, they completely blocked Dynesniff, so that not only the five ships of the Tekkadan, but even some fleets hiding behind the Tekkadan ships were equally unscathed.

The sharp contrast between the two sides caused some members of the Revolutionary Army to feel anger, jealousy and other negative emotions towards the Tekkadan even though they knew it was wrong.

McGillis quickly noticed the situation in the fleet. While comforting or reprimanding his own troops, he also established communication with the Tekkadan, wanting to ask Olga some questions.

Soon the communication was connected, and the scene that appeared in front of McGillis was Olga, Lin Yuan and Bisquet standing behind him. The three of them looked calm and did not seem to be panicked by the attack of the Arianhed fleet. Looking at this scene, McGillis' eyes flashed with an ambiguous look, but he said words of gratitude: "Captain Olga, thank you very much. Because of your help, some of our army's manpower has been preserved. Please forgive my abruptness, I want to ask..."

"I know what you want to ask, but honestly, is now the time to talk about this?" Olga suddenly interrupted McGillis before he could finish.

"........."

McGillis fell silent upon hearing this, but Olga was not like that: "Although we successfully blocked Dainsniff's attack with our means, it is a fact that you have suffered heavy losses. We were already at a disadvantage in numbers, not to mention the current situation. I suggest that we retreat. What do you think?"

Olga stated the current battle situation very directly. Even though the Tekkadan had unexpected means and successfully blocked Dynesniff's attack without suffering any losses, and also protected a part of the revolutionary army, the rest of the revolutionary army was not so lucky.
Under the attack just now by Dainsniff, the revolutionary army's losses directly exceeded more than half, making the already unfavorable gap in troop strength even greater at this moment, so it was not surprising that Olga suggested retreat at this time.

Although McGillis was very unwilling to give up, his reason also told him that the current situation was indeed as Olga said, and it would be better to retreat temporarily.

"...You're right. We can only retreat in this situation. As for the direction, if we lose this battle, we may not be able to go to Earth. After all, the means I used against the other Seven Star Families during the coup were a bit extreme. If it were normal times, it wouldn't matter, but now, I'm afraid they will all take advantage of our misfortune. We can only return to Mars. But I'm afraid Lesdal won't let us go so easily. Do you have any ideas?"

Although McGillis did not say it explicitly, the implication was that he hoped the Tekkadan could allocate some personnel to serve as the rear guard.

After all, just as he said, Lesdal would not let them go so easily. Once they have any idea of ​​retreating, he would definitely order his men to pursue them, or even directly use Daynsniff to attack them. In this case, someone would naturally be needed to cover their retreat and delay them so that they would have enough time to retreat. However, in this case, the person covering their retreat would undoubtedly be abandoned.

Now that the Revolutionary Army had suffered a heavy blow, McGillis naturally felt very painful when he saw this scene. In comparison, although the Tekkadan had suffered casualties in previous battles, they were fewer after all, so McGillis set his sights on them.

Olga's eyes suddenly flashed with a cold light when she heard the meaning of McGillis' words. If it wasn't the wrong time and the other party was still useful, she really wanted to kill the other party right now.

Although she had murderous intentions towards McGillis, Olga showed no abnormality on the surface and replied, "We have also discussed this. It just so happens that we have a hidden troop here. We did not hide it intentionally, but their identities are not good. Once they are used, it may have a very bad impact on the reputation of your revolutionary army. It is better for me to tell you in advance?"

"A force that will have a negative impact on our reputation?" McGillis repeated Orr's words, and at this time an unexpected thought came to his mind.

'Perhaps the reason why the Tekkadan participated in this war was not entirely because of my invitation, but also because of their own will.' He had this feeling.
