“You’re just asking me, why don’t you say what to do? The moment the war broke out, that old thing blew up all our heavy weapons, ammunition depot, and even the signal tower. Now, there’s sometimes no signal, and we can’t even send a message. Even if we want to ask for help, we can’t.”
Elder Liao said the truth impatiently, “Why did we lose so badly? They bombarded us with missiles, and we counterattacked with guns. Anyone would have lost. What else is there to think about? Why don’t we raise the white flag and surrender? Why don’t we just wait for death here obediently?”
“Damn, to think that you’re still a member of the elders. Not only did you not take the blame first when something happened, but you were the first to retreat. I really don’t know how you sat in this position back then.”
When Elder Hu heard this, he was furious. “We’d rather die standing than live kneeling. Even if we all die here in battle, we definitely can’t raise the white flag and surrender. Even if we survive in the end, we’ll become the laughing stock of the entire Country 11.”
“You really say it better than you sing. Then when Duo Feng attacks a second time, you’ll be the first to rush out and be cannon fodder. Aren’t you willing to die standing? Isn’t that simple? 1’11 fulfill your wish in a while.”
Elder Liao no longer held any hope. Ignoring their past friendship, he mocked without restraint. As long as he could continue living, he did not care about his face and dignity.
“Elder Hu, 1 hope you still dare to go out when the time comes. If that’s not the case, 1 advise you not to embarrass yourself here now. After all, so many people are looking at you. It’s not embarrassing to admit that you’re afraid of death.”
Seeing that the situation was about to become uncontrollable, Ye Ying finally couldn’t take it anymore.
“Enough. We’re all grasshoppers tied to the same rope now. You’re two elders of the regiment. How will the juniors on the field think of you if you argue like this at this time?”
Ye Ying raised one hand and slammed the table angrily. “I’m asking you about the solution, not asking you to say anything else. If you have an idea, just say it. If you don’t, shut up. What’s there to argue about?”
Under Ye Ying’s angry scolding, the two elders shut their mouths and sat back in their seats. At this moment, the hall fell into silence. Everyone was silent. It was so quiet that the sound of a pin dropping was very clear.
Finally, this atmosphere was broken by a steward. He stood up and faced Ye Ying.
“Boss, I think the situation we’re in now is very bad. The signal tower has been destroyed, which means that we’re completely isolated and helpless. We can’t even use most of our weapons, so our chances of winning against Duo Feng head-on are zero. The other party has already surrounded us. Even escaping has become an extravagant hope.”
The steward analyzed step by step, “We’ve already lost nearly half of our brothers in the first battle, and the remaining ones are some old and weak women who have no combat strength. Looking at all the current situation, I think our best choice now is…”
“Surrender.”
There was a moment’s pause before the steward shouted these two words loudly to ensure that everyone could hear him.
“Only by surrendering can we preserve our strength and avoid unnecessary casualties. As long as we secretly accumulate strength, in time, we can definitely make a comeback and take back what should have been ours.”
“Not a chance.” Without any hesitation, Ye Ying immediately said, “Elder Hu and 1 will stand on the same side for this matter. No matter what, it’s impossible to surrender.”
“Everything you said is ideal, but it’s not realistic. Do you think Duo Feng won’t think of what you can think of? Will he keep bombs like us that will explode at any time? Even if we really surrender, he won’t let us go. There are very few people who can survive.”
As the boss of the group, Ye Ying could naturally guess what Duo Feng was doing. “Not only that, even those who survive will be driven like slaves. The degree of exhaustion every day will wear down your willpower and make you gradually lose your faith in revenge until you really become a soulless body.”
“But this is the only way we have now…”
