Bab 541: Puzzle

"This is Team Lead 1, Class A Hive guard spotted. Cancel backup, we won't last till it arrives."

The Team Leader's words went out live in front of hundreds of thousands of hopeful young cadets that were watching from the base ship.

There was a few second delay so if the instructors wanted they could have paused the stream but choose to let everyone see the grim reality of battle.

A second later the response came from HQ which left almost all the cadets in shock. It sounded like a different person from before.

"Copy that brother, may you have a glorious death!"

"Thank you, brother!" the Team Leader responded before turning around to face the young graduates behind him.

"Did you hear?" he asked while straightening his back.

All of them replied in unison, "Yes sir!"

"Good! Then retreat as quickly as you can. I will hold them off as long as I am able to, hopefully, some of you will come out of this alive."

Not a single one of them moved.
