Shadow of Deep Space

Chapter 293 Confrontation (Additional update for Alliance Leader Bingshan Muxue) (rd update)

However, Major Gene and his men did not chase the enemy very fiercely. Instead, they destroyed the enemy's weapons deployed along the way while chasing.

At the same time they controlled their flying speed to avoid being ambushed.

At this time, Connor was like a frightened bird, controlling the mecha to escape to the Red Valley Mineral Base. He turned on the communication channel and reported anxiously.

"Lord Biink, something terrible has happened. We have been defeated and the enemy is coming to kill us."

"Useless, truly useless. How can so many of us not be able to defeat those few people from the Imperial Court Academy?"

"My lord, they are so strong. They have many third-generation mechas. And the firepower of the enemy ships is very strong. They bombarded us with a wave of attacks before the battle even started."

"Idiot, go back to base!"

Beinke said, cursing.

"it is good!"

Connor felt much more relieved immediately.

Not long after, Connor escaped to the gate of the base, where he saw a number of iron-headed mechas carrying more than 500 prisoners in protective suits coming out of the base.

At this time, an iron guard came up to Connor and reported to him.

"Master Connor, you are back."

"Where is Lord Biink? Those people from the Imperial Court Academy are coming to kill us soon."

Connor asked anxiously.

"Lord Biink is preparing for a fight. He asked you to use the hostages to hold the enemy back and buy some time."

The subordinate said quickly.

"I see."

Connor glanced at the more than 500 hostages, took a deep breath, calmed his panic and said.

At this time, Major Gene brought Su Ming and others and pushed forward all the way.

Connor shouted to Major Gene and others upon seeing this.

"Stop! If you take one step forward, I'll kill them!"

When Major Gene saw more than 500 hostages, anger appeared on his face, but he still gave orders calmly.

"stop!"

Su Ming and others stopped one after another. They looked at the other party using so many hostages as shields and cursed at each other in the communication channel.

"Damn, so shameless!"

“That’s really cheap.”

"What should we do now? These are all people from our school!"

Su Ming looked at this scene and said with a frown.

"It's troublesome, what should I do now?"

"I don't have a good solution for this kind of thing! The hostages are our weak spot. If we use force, it would be good if half of these 500 people can survive."

Mia was also helpless. These people had no bottom line.

Major Gene looked at the scene and gave a cold warning.

"If they lose even a hair, we will tear you into pieces!"

Connor swallowed when he heard what Major Gene said, but still replied fiercely.

"Who are you trying to scare?"

Seeing the enemy's determined attitude, Major Gene's expression changed, and he immediately contacted the Red Fang, and communication was quickly established.

"Sir, I'm Major Gene."

"What's going on now?"

Xiao Ye asked in a deep voice.

"We have defeated the enemy's ambush and reached the Red Valley Mineral Base."

Major Gene reported.

"How are the casualties?"

Principal Fleck's anxious voice sounded from the communication channel.

"Lord Fleck, so far nineteen people are slightly injured, four are seriously injured, and two have died." Major Gene repeated the situation reported by his subordinates.

In fact, these injured and sacrificed students were basically injured in the first wave of attacks.

Fortunately, the Iron Guard mecha has good defense capabilities, and the students are all wearing second-generation exoskeleton armor, otherwise the casualties would be even higher.

But it can also be seen from here how good the equipment that Royal Court Academy provides to its students is.

Of course, in addition to this, there is another very important reason, that is, the combat effectiveness of this rebel army is really too poor. Compared with the students of the Imperial Court Academy, they are not at the same level at all.

But that's normal. Every student at Royal Court Academy is selected from thousands of candidates and enjoys the best educational resources.

"What did you say? Two dead? Ouch!"

Faced with this outstanding achievement, Fleck not only did not feel any joy, but instead he covered his chest and said with great heartache.

"More than that, the enemy is now using our people as hostages as shields. How should we respond?"

Major Gene asked calmly.

"What? They took our people as hostages? What a bunch of bastards! Major Gene, don't be impulsive and hurt the hostages. They are all from our school's mineral department!"

Principal Fleck's face turned green when he heard this.

He was about to curse. What was originally a very simple material recycling task had turned into this.

"I understand, but what should I do now?"

Major Gene asked calmly.

"Don't do it. Negotiate first. Do your best to keep the hostages safe. If we act rashly and cause casualties among the hostages, we will be held responsible."

Xiao Ye gave the order calmly.

His words were actually very clear. If they caused the death of the hostages, and the Federation and the Imperial Academy held accountable afterwards, no one would be able to escape responsibility.

"understand!"

After Major Gene responded to Xiao Ye, he spoke to Connor.

"Connor, you are already doomed. If you hand over the hostages to us safely, we can spare your lives!"

"Bullshit, do you really think I'm a three-year-old kid? If we give you the hostages, will we still be alive?"

Connor cursed fiercely.

"You are so arrogant, believe it or not, we will chop you up."

Some students with hot tempers immediately started cursing in anger.

"You dare? Do you believe I will kill a few of them for you to see?"

Connor also took the risk and raised his mechanical left arm towards the hostage.

"Stop! Don't do anything."

Major Gene saw that the situation was getting out of control and immediately called out to many students.

"Humph!"

Seeing that the student was stopped, Connor also put down his mechanical left arm.

His purpose was to buy time and wait for Lord Biink to be ready, not to provoke the enemy.

So the two sides confronted each other.

However, before they had confronted each other for long, a large number of gray dots suddenly appeared on the radar scanned by Su Ming and others.

Tang Xuan and the other teachers' expressions changed slightly as they spoke.

"Oh no! The troops from the Abaike Kingdom are coming. If they attack us from both sides, we will be in a passive position."

"Don't panic, the Abek Kingdom is not coming for us."

Major Gene spoke up.

"That's right. If the Abek Kingdom really wants to attack us, we won't be able to leave the interstellar airport at all. And as long as we die here, no matter what excuse they make, the Federation and the Imperial Academy will not let the Abek Kingdom go. The king knows this very well! Even if he defected to the Imperial Army, he would not do such a stupid thing."

Mia analyzed very rationally.

Su Ming listened to their conversation and agreed with their analysis.

The Abek Kingdom would never do this unless it was seeking death.
