Chapter 925 The first formal contact, a tragic victory
“Damn it!”
Yang Hui punched the armrest of the seat. [Dawn Gundam] suffered the least damage and was only carried out. After getting the simplest emergency repair, he hurriedly attacked. As a result, he saw the [Snake King] surviving under the glory of Genesis just after the attack. His mind was all occupied by one thought, that is, this [Snake King] must not be allowed to leave alive!
But helpless and unwilling, [Snake Egg] and [Python] blocked it at all costs, causing the Promes Army to lose this excellent opportunity, and could only watch the [Snake King] retreat into FOLD Jump through the passage and disappear from sight.
"Yang Hui, [Snake Egg] and [Python] have also begun to retreat."
"Pursue! As many as we can leave behind!"
"Understood!" A huge threat. Regardless of whether all the [Body-Eating Snakes] attacked them this time, the [Body-Eating Snakes] they killed accounted for how many parts of the race, but they could kill one by one. This not only weakened the enemy not only to express his fighting power, but also to vent his unwillingness and anger.
"What's the situation with Vajra at the rear?" Yang Hui drove [Dawn Gundam] to chase down the retreating [Body-Eating Snake] while asking about the situation at the rear. The threat from Vajra was not small. At first, he Genesis is full of confidence. After all, gamma ray bursts are the nemesis of all life. The killing effect acts directly on cells and is a killer move that cannot be defended.
But now... with the precedent of [Snake King], Yang Hui has lost this confidence.
"80% of the Vajra army was wiped out by Genesis, and the remaining troops 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 fleet. "
For the [Body-Eating Snake], Yang Hui adopted the strategy of annihilating them all without leaving any room. After all, this was a clear enemy and there was no possibility of 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 Promes Army and the [Body-Eating Snake] had their first official confrontation, and they had their first official contact with the real enemy of Promes Fortress. With the victory of the Promes Army and Promes Fortress end.
Although it was a victory, it was also a tragic victory.
The damage rate of the fleet directly ahead reached 12%, and the MS troop casualties were 15%. Just looking at the numbers, they are not large, not even comparable to the war with ELS.
But one thing should be clear. In the war with ELS, almost all the soldiers who died in the battle had brain quantum waves, and their consciousness was retained by ELS after death. Now they continue to live in the bodies created by ELS for them. Only A very few people cannot die without brain quantum waves.
And in this battle, if you die, you will really die.
Furthermore, the combat power possessed by the Prosmi Army now far exceeds that of the original. They even used Genesis, one of the final trump cards, and even though several Genesis hit at the same time, they failed to kill even one [Snake King]!
This is not a tragic victory, what is it?
“The death list has been calculated.”
At the station office on the main island of the 25th Fleet, Yang Hui took the death list from Bucky Lulu with a stern face and carefully read it from top to bottom. Looking at it, he wanted to remember every name on it in his mind.
"Where is the list of seriously injured people?" Yang Hui asked after spending an hour reading the list of the dead.
"Here." Baji Lulu handed another list to Yang Hui and reported at the same time, "The legion's medical department is fully operational. The treatment sequence of the wounded is arranged according to the severity of their injuries. It is expected that all patients can recover within a week."
On the battleships of the Promes Legion, the [Haizhi-class] is equipped with 2 medical cabins, [White Tiger-class] 4 medical cabins, and [Qilin-class] 8 medical cabins. At this time, all medical cabins are open 24 hours a day. It operates continuously and treats the wounded with all its strength.
"Hmm..." Similarly, Yang Hui did not miss any name. He did not know everyone in the Promis Legion, but he saw many familiar names on this seriously injured list.
For example, Kristina Mackenzie and her husband Barnard Watzman brought them out by themselves.
Cabriel Calcia of Cyclops Squad. Zhang Wufei from Gundam W World.
The three Orb sisters are Mayura Rabat, Asaki Caldwell, and Julie Wu Nien.
Yang Hui’s eldest nephew Andrei Smirnov.
Caruso from the Mars Pirates and Yuwen Feigong from the Unlimited Jaegers.
Tekkadan Norba Sino, Chad Chadan, Dante Moguro.
Cornelia's loyal knights Gilbert and Dalton.
Orpheus Fonze and Jeremiah Goldbald of [The Twelve Zodiac].
......
This is only the list of the seriously injured, not the entire list of the injured. In this battle, except for the TOP-level ace pilots, everyone was more or less injured.
Looking at the silent Yang Hui, Bucky quietly left the office in silence.
"Sister Natal, Yang Hui..." By coincidence, as soon as Bucky Lulu closed the door of the office, she saw Lux and Sherry Lu coming together.
"Let him be alone for a while." Bucky Lulu said.
“I understand.” Lux nodded upon hearing this.
“Are there serious casualties in this battle?” Shirley Lu asked softly. In her eyes, Yang Hui has always been synonymous with confidence. He is confident in everything he does and should continue to stand confidently. In front of everyone instead of shutting 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 members of the Promethean Legion have never participated in a formal world mission. Even though they know that the aces have encountered a lot of ups and downs in the mission world, they have all successfully completed the mission and completed it well. Very outstanding, subconsciously, they still think that 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 on the surface It doesn't come out, but it is for the strong men of the legion. For the enemies they meet in the mission world, they subconsciously regard them as their previous opponents and can 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, which made her extremely uncomfortable. The confident Yang Hui and others suffered a huge blow.
"I'm very 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 degree of 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.
"Let's go, accompany me to the hospital to see them."
