Chapter 154
Yao Yuan followed the Hope Defense Unit to the battlefield . When they reached aboveground, the Black Star Troopers had already removed more than 100,000 aliens and had cleared a 10 by 10 kilometers ground . This prevented their transport shuttles from being shot down by the aliens . However, when Yao Yuan saw the ruins of the previous 2 shuttles smoldering, he crash-landed the shuttles and immediately ordered everyone out .
Yao Yuan wore a red space armor, so he stood out quite fairly . It didn’t take too long for Guang Zhen and Ren Tao to spot and reach him . He caught up with them mid-way and asked, "Give me a field report! Any deaths?"
Guang Zhen saluted, "So far… only 1 death, he died… in combat . The rest is still unknown because they’re still in combat . "
"Isn’t that a given? How else is the soldier going to die, tripped and fell to his death? Ren Tao, you’ve been here the longest, so give me an update . Also, explain what you do meant when you told Liu Bai that we’ve been tricked . " Yao Yuan coughed .
Ren Tao smiled ruefully . "Well, we’re holding up surprisingly well . The Black Star Troopers are unexpectedly strong, so I believe we aren’t in any danger at the moment . The actual number of fatalities that I predict will not be more than 10 . However… I suggest you immediately send someone back to the Hope to ask Saburo, the Japanese doctor, to speed up his progress of producing a vaccine, or else there will be more people that die from sickness than in combat…
"About the fact that we were tricked, do you believe these aliens appeared suddenly? That’s impossible . I guarantee they snuck over and hid themselves on the other side of this planet during the day . Since the sun is blinding on this side during this day, that coupled with the creator’s particle, it’s a perfect ambush plan . "
Yao Yuan frowned and looked about . "How about their numbers? Hmm… Never mind, I can see for myself how seriously we’ve been ambushed…"
Yao Yuan whirred around and shouted, "Battalions 1, 2, and 3 gather within the shuttle’s isolator range!"
The soldiers instantly separated into their assigned battalions and crowded orderly around the shuttle .
Yao Yuan turned to Guang Zhen . "Ol’ Wong, you’re good at commanding, so I need you to stay behind and be the commander . Ren Tao will also stay as your strategist . In 10 minutes, Support Battalion B will arrive, and Scrapper Battalion C will arrive 20 minutes after that . I’ll leave the men and women in your capable hands . " Yao Yuan saluted before leaving to join the skirmishes .
Guang Zhen led Ren Tao to the front of the battalions . He hollered, "Battalion commanders and second-lieutenants, please fall out!"
The commanders and second-lieutenants of the 3 battalions immediately showed themselves . Guang Zhen ordered, "With the shuttle as the center, spread out to secure a perimeter . Start setting up a base . Each battalion will be responsible for a 120 angle perimeter . Support the Black Star Troopers with long-ranged weapon if necessary, and kill any non-human threats that approach the perimeter!"
The commanders and second-lieutenants saluted . "Yes, Sir!" Under the guidance of their leaders, the battalions started to mobilize . A circular perimeter was formed and the sound of gunshots rang throughout the battlefield .
Guang Zhen sighed . "Do you know, Ren Tao? Military discipline is very much related to crowd psychology . If isolated, each and every one of the soldiers are brilliant in their own right, but when pulled into a crowd, they will often be dragged into doing stupid things . If one starts going off the rails, many will blindly follow . You’ve seen for yourself how much damage the 5 Survivors caused . "
Ren Tao waved his hand . "The Black Star Troopers have an inherent problem . I’m sure Yao Yuan has noticed that . "
Guang Zhen shook his head resignedly . "Homo Evolutis… they’re not trained soldier and yet they aren’t civilians . Ren Tao, you yourself are a Homo Evolutis; haven’t you noticed this problem? Hopefully Yao Yuan will be able to come up with a solution soon . If not, things might not end so easily next time . Don’t be so surprised; I know him better than you do . If the situation requires it, he will not hesitate to revamp the troopers . And trust me, the death count won’t be in the single digits then . "
Ren Tao opened his mouth but caught himself . He knew that this was not his place to comment . Therefore, he switched the topic . "By the way, your work isn’t finished, is it? Don’t you still need to send someone to hurry Saburo?"
