Bab 1224: Correspondence

Zang Xin spoke with a deep voice, "That's difficult to tell, but the attack really did result in severe losses. The most telling news we've received so far is that the battleship was being overhauled at the time. There was only a skeleton crew of maintenance staff on board, so the casualties were relatively low. There were over two hundred people killed. If the entire crew was on board, casualties would certainly have exceeded three thousand."

There was a flash of light in Tang Wulin's eyes. "Could it be that this was plotted by the military?"

Zang Xin shook his head. "No, can't be. The price was too high. The black battleship is genuinely under the Hawk Faction's control. The manufacturing cost of such a vessel is too great, the Hawk Faction would never consent to destroying one. Thus, the attacker must be someone else. On the other hand, I think that there are very few capable of using rank-9 fixed soul ammunition to launch an attack."
