Bab 768: The Arrival, Mark's New Weapon and a Bad News for the Major

Day 162 - 10:47 AM - Agos River Riverbank, New Infanta Settlement, Infanta, Province of Quezon

The injured soldier was down in shock while another frantically pulled him to cover. With the two out in the open, there was no way that they could avoid the next attack without another casualty.

Another? Well, yes. The morale of the soldiers was already down. They already lost two people without even giving the enemy any significant damage.

However, they could not just retreat.

The lasers that the enemy fired could reach long distances. The walls were down, and what remained of the settlement was laid bare without cover. If they left the enemy alone, civilian casualties would not be avoidable.

Thus, they could only fight, even if they were about to lose another comrade before their eyes.

Nonetheless, they would not just go and watch.
