The Little Prince in the Ossuary

# Sunrise, or dusk (17)

One of the Commander's Chief of Staff immediately heals.

You're crazy! When you're talking nonsense like that?

Even though it was never a bad story for the U.S. military, it must have been because it was so crazy and urgent. I have successfully completed the second line of reassignment, as long as the withdrawal has just begun. At such a sensitive moment, the shaking of the command system itself is embarrassing.

"No."

Haha. Caphraov laughs, affirming his criticism.

"Don't you know? Because you know it's not the time, you can ask for it."

In fact, it was a hostage situation that was urgent at the time.

"You have no other choice. There will be no way to force us to move. We don't all want to die in a miraculous way!

Enough!

Commander Rogers has cut off the consuming flow.

"Waste of time to this end. Withdraw U.S. troops first. However, what happened here will certainly be a problem later on.

It was a voice that suppressed anger rarely heard as a heavy intestine with little expression of emotion.

"Whatever."

It was Caphraov.

After the transmission ended, winter felt strange about its confidence.

‘The testimony of this situation will diminish the meaning of the air force's sacrifice. ’

After all, at the critical moment, he threatened the United States military to ensure the safety of the entire mission force. And disregarding the pre-agreed command system.

Is there some kind of insurance policy?

It was certainly a little strange that General Rogers was listening to Caphraov when he first made the accusation. Even for a moment in winter, I wondered if it was real.

The death of two of the leading actors in Winter, Rogers and Olema will certainly be a national loss for the United States. However, in the face of a sudden border with a potential nuclear nation, there was a strange possibility that he made a decision to pay less for the operation.

How to read a scale of national interest can vary from person to person.

However, it was unlikely that Caphraov actually mentioned the ‘government policy’ when he saw the General's anger in the end. Winter decides this because we know a certain General Rogers. He was far from a skilled performer.

Therefore, it was reasonable to consider his brief silence as evidence of momentary conflict.

I didn't want to come.

Where are the easy things to die like heroes?

It's a quote from Lt. Gen. Rogers, who was halfway through his drinking spree the other day. There was enough room to be troubled by the US military saying to go first.

But he is also a person who has a strong sense of responsibility. In this regard, it would be good to be as intelligent. If I didn't want to die, I would have made a reason to fall in any way, as winter once considered. But the commander did not, and even here, he insisted on a dangerous ground command. It was his duty as a soldier and commander.

His anger is therefore reasonable. It's just a guess of winter, but there might not have been a hatred of his own.

Then what is the identity of Caphraov's conviction?

A dazzling epiphany struck me in the winter, when I was confusing the conversation that had passed while giving the command.

This could be the result of the Duke himself! ’

Earlier, a Central Intelligence Agency agent who spoke with Winter in Leadville had a side agreement with many peacekeepers in the process of persuading the Russians to stay off the record. ".." And Be sure to come back safe. By then, the Commander will be the god of those who follow you. "It is written:

Maybe that's what the implication was about this moment.

If so, the United States has tricked its soldiers and war heroes into returning home as safely as possible, i.e., leading the Russians to make voluntary sacrifices. Of course, there were also Russian officials who had deliberately cheated in the process.

Perhaps even the Air Force officers have already been bought. Or he decided to pay in secret on the condition that he later declared it to be an unfounded crime.

Intelligence agencies have strong motives. They've invested a lot in winter, and they expect a lot more than that. It is in the interest of returning alive winter.

But for now, this phrase has no meaning. Probably always will be. If a guess is true, who can say it's true?

Nevertheless, because it was a hard doubt to erase, winter tried to get rid of the unpleasantness that distracted the attention.

The decision to come to Zero Ground here was a very difficult decision for winter. I feel like I'm now splashing dirt on that difficult decision. I hate clouds that flow irreversibly out of reach.

Reporting to Lt. Gen. Rogers was pointless. What are you doing raising an unsubstantiated suspicion? It's just another waste of time.

The best thing to do was to forget about it for a while and focus on the responsibilities.

Suddenly, the dawn began to dawn.

There was a change in the sky soaking blue and the battlefield soaking blue.

“From Avalon! Additional variants are declining rapidly! ”

This was the result of an observation relayed by the air sack. Commander Xing, who heard the communications officer's report, stretched his weary longsword to produce a convulsion. Because the terratomas infiltrated the battalion command with their small size.

He stirs a stiff murmur between his short breaths.

“Did the tactical core work……. ”

He was not directly involved in the nucleation decision making process, but an officer of about Singh could not have known the purpose for which the nucleus was used. The trembling power of the warhead missiles has still left massive swarming risers in the sky over there. And beneath it, the soil is covered with corpses to the point of loss of sight.

Here, with the pale color of dawn and the growing cold, the barren plateaux settled into an evenly depicted landscape of the frozen end.

But the landscape was never static.

His M.O. didn't seem to change anything.

Of course, blocking further inflow only means that the situation has been prevented from escalating to its worst. Even if your back is severed, the factions that have already entered the battlefield will not disappear immediately. After defeating all of these, you will have no host to swallow, so you should deal with all the terratomas that will only come this way. You will have to fight the rest of the numbers in this area.

Still.

‘It's almost time. ’

You don't have to kill them all. This is the only way to get out of the sky.

However, as the withdrawal progresses, the defensive strength of the remaining troops becomes weaker.

I never wanted to ask for the role, but I didn't want it to go back like this... Should we be thankful that we won't have to fight our way out of here before we get wiped out?

While winter was behind us and we were tracking the situation inside the armored car, we heard an urgent report of a squadron of 3rd squads on the Alpha Major channel that was shaken with radioactive interference.

"David 1! Deputy 13 Charlie! The small side IAAV has been further disabled! There are no available vehicles in the squad anymore!

IAAV stands for Interim Armored Airborn Vehicle. Most of them have been well tolerated, but the contamination caused by the foreign substance is getting worse and worse, and the trajectory of the vehicles is starting to fall off or collapse. I've stopped the Terratoma's waves from being trampled so badly. There were also many cases where the external observation equipment was damaged and lost practical combat capability.

Senior Commandant Asks Nervously.

"Dammit! What's the emergency?!

"Impossible! I can't figure out what caused the problem!

"Then use it as a tackle, and throw it away! 13 Charlie will remove himself from the next serious change!

At this point, the commanders were usually like this. The best among them was the difference in calmness and mental strength caused by actual experience, rather than differences in abilities. It's also a skill, if you will.

As the defense lines continue to shrink, the combat patterns become simpler and there is less room for winter to command as a commander.

As the battle intensifies, I will now fulfill my first and last duty as commander.

Eww!

A terratoma crawls up the floor and bites the boots off of winter boots. Whip, crack, crack the little line of teeth. He's a weakling. He had no eyes and only two holes in his nose, so his head was round and his mouth was red. Since the proliferation and division are so rapid, it seems that the radiation anomalies are already occurring.

Even in the winter of my trampling, I feel nothing but bored.

It was a terrible enemy that almost rendered superhuman combat power worthless.

The first to leave Zero Ground was a search party for the ammunition base. They, including civilian experts, were the priority to protect them regardless of the defeat of the mission.

The Independence Battalion ranks last among the rest of the American Army. However, the order will come back surprisingly soon. The reason the U.S. military did not take up much of the mission. As Caphraov said, the Russian Air Force was in charge of substantial focus on the ground.

‘If I had trusted Esther, I wouldn't have had to suffer like this. ’

Esther had the ability to block the influx of the mutant population from the very beginning. Then there would have been no need for a nuclear attack, and there would have been no conflict between the command and the air force. There was no reason for the withdrawal to be so difficult in the first place.

I took the liberty of persuading Esther myself, but it always represented the importance of the officers. It's a pity I can't help but feel sorry for the winter I trust her with.

If you end up in the Air Force and experience enormous damage, how much pain will you suffer for a girl who barely protects herself by helping people based on her faith? It is also a crack in her calling.

Esther will be troubled. If the Lord had truly given me a calling, would He not have made my role in the moment when I had to save people?

Of course, she has already saved many people from the Central American power station. There will be plenty of people she can save while she's gone.

But she also knows that this battle is special today. It's literally a mission to save humanity.

Even though my body was so sick, it was a girl who was inside. There can be no great expectation. Eventually, the feeling of helplessness that I felt today will slowly penetrate Esther's mind.

But she doesn't have much life left...

Winter sees her end far from rest.

“Sir! It's our turn! It's finally our turn! ”

Evans cheers as he receives notification from the command. If you don't know what's going on, you'll be the ones left behind, and you'll be happy to get out of this hell for good.

Winter caught me on the radio.

“From David Actual to all units. Withdrawals will be performed in the order of Charlie Ravodelta Alpha. Repeat, Charlie Bravo Delta Alpha sequence. Brake. David 1, 2, and 4 stick to their current position until further instruction is given. Brake. David 3, hand over the defensive perimeter to Stalricina 1. Please report at the point of completion of the handover, over. ”

Vehicles and soldiers from the 331st Airborne regiment protected the withdrawal of the Independent fleet. As they gradually changed the vacancy of the battalion, the battalion left all vehicles in its possession and moved to the transfer point. The remaining armored vehicles would be useful for the Russian military to survive until the end, as they had no fear of mutants or teratomas.

Occasionally, Russian soldiers flowed through the Independent battalion, leaving with an unmistakable envy, jealousy, fatigue and fear.

The Air Force, of course, seemed to have a good understanding of the situation.

Finally, it was time for the winter to board the helicopter, uncomfortable. The last Zero Ground we looked back at before we left was still a fierce crossing of human and monster life.
