I rely on myself

Chapter 919 The changed situation

Before we knew it, three months had passed since the war. During this time, the situation in the world had changed a lot, but this was also within the expectations of many people.

First up is McGillis.

Originally, he was defeated by Lesdal and his life experience was exposed, so he had nothing except the Revolutionary Army. But after the Tekkadan defeated the Arianhrd fleet on Mars.

McGillis acted decisively, buying the captured ships and soldiers from Olga, and then used some unknown means to successfully subdue them.

In this way, although there is still a big gap compared to the original, at least he got rid of the predicament of having only a few ships under his command, and even the Mars branch was conquered by his means.

The Mars branch had no choice but to make such a decision. After all, the largest force on Mars at this time was no longer Gjallarhorn, but the Tekkadan.

In this situation, if they continued to stay on Mars with an unclear position, the consequences would be unimaginable, so there was no choice. The head of the Mars branch had to take the Galarhorn Mars branch to McGillis.

McGillis, who now has a large army in his hands again, is naturally no longer willing to be alone. Although he knows it is impossible, he still invites Olga and the others again to counterattack the earth together again. However, it is obvious that this invitation was rejected.

Although it felt a bit regretful, McGillis had anticipated this, so he didn't insist on it too much.

Perhaps out of guilt for rejecting the invitation, the Tekkadan sold a batch of supplies to McGillis at a price lower than the market price as compensation, and also helped to modify a batch of severely damaged Grazes and provided them to him.

McGillis was naturally very grateful for this and expressed that the friendship between the two sides would last forever. He then led his army to leave Mars and head for Earth.

This is how things develop in the eyes of most ordinary people. Of course, in the eyes of some big forces, this scene has a different perspective.

On the other side, Lesdal, who was defeated on Mars, successfully returned to Earth with the only remaining Arianhrd fleet.

Although we lost the battle, it was a good thing that we acted decisively.

Although the Arianhrd fleet did suffer heavy damage, fortunately its organization was still intact, which was a blessing in disguise.

Basically, as long as we replenish personnel, ships and aircraft as quickly as possible and then undergo some special training, we can recover, but this is where the problem arises.

Because Galio died in this battle.

Originally, Galio survived four years ago because of Lesdal's help, and the incident caused by McGillis was exposed. Because of these, Galio's father, the head of the Badwin family of this generation, changed his position and turned to support Lesdal.

As a result, after an expedition that was supposed to be a sure win, his own son died, while the main force was basically fine. His son even became the rear guard to cover the main force's successful retreat.

Although accidents are inevitable on the battlefield, Galio's father certainly understands this truth. However, he sees that most of the people in the Arianhrd fleet have successfully returned, while his son, a member of the Seven Star Family, has died on the battlefield.

In addition, his son almost lost his life because of McGillis's betrayal, so it is no wonder that Galio's father would become suspicious.

He suspected that the death of his son Galio might be the result of Lesdal's manipulation.

Although this possibility is very low, Galio's father is still suspicious. Although he is opposed to some of Lesdal's requests.

Lesdal saw all of this and understood why Galio's father did this, but he had no way to deal with it.

After all, he had given all the necessary explanations, but the other party was still suspicious and no amount of proof would do anything to stop him.

At this time, McGillis also attacked again with a large army.

There was no choice but for Lesdal to confront McGillis first.

But to be honest, although he had defeated McGillis completely before, Lesdal was not very confident about this match.

It was because he had Galio as an intelligence provider and witness, and McGillis's actions were almost all in the open while he was in the dark. He also had the Arianhrd fleet, Gjallarhorn's strongest force, in his hands, so he was able to win so easily.

But now, things are different.

The two sides fought, and at the beginning, due to the advantage in numbers, the Arianhed fleet led by Lesdal successfully suppressed the revolutionary army led by McGillis.

However, in the subsequent battles, although Lesdal's side can be said to have always been in the advantage, McGillis also showed great resilience.

Although they were at a disadvantage, that was all, and there was no sign of defeat.

Logically speaking, this should be impossible. After all, if the troops want to show such super resilience, in addition to the army itself, they also need a large amount of supplies, and this is the problem.

Now the area where the two sides are fighting is close to the earth. Although the Tekkadan once gave McGillis a discount and sold him a large amount of supplies, this little bit of supplies was completely consumed not long after the war broke out. So where did McGillis get the subsequent supplies?
Lesdal had known about this problem for a long time, but he could do nothing about it.

Because the ones who provide supplies to McGillis are none other than the four major economic circles on the earth today.

In the eyes of the four major economic circles, the struggle between Lesdal and McGillis is a rare opportunity, a chance for them to get rid of Gjallarhorn.

The struggle between the two, no matter what the final outcome, will cause Gjallarhorn's strength to be weakened, and the longer the war lasts, the more so.

So at first, the four major economic circles were just watching, but after McGillis successfully resisted Lesdal with his own strength, they did not hesitate at all.

Although none of the four major economic circles could defeat Gjallarhorn in terms of military strength, supplies were another matter.

Afterwards, the four major economic circles secretly gave support to McGillis. Because of this, he was able to lead the revolutionaries for such a long time despite the huge gap in numbers.

Lesdal knew all of this, but there was nothing he could do.

After all, these things cannot be made public. Once they are made public, the seemingly calm order will be instantly broken. So although he is very unwilling, Lesdal can only accept this reality.
